  • Plumber Needed for Water Heater Replacement

    The new laws going into effect in April are a problem for us. The hot water closet is not large enough to hold one of the new mandatory high efficiency hot water heaters.



    Since ours is nine years old anyway, it's time to perform a replacement. Any plumbers in the Fort Worth area? Thanks.

    pics of the closet? i am a plumber but I dont have insurance and really dont like doing side work for friends, just in case shit. cause you never know. but PM me. I have a good friend who was a year behind me in our apprenticeship progfram. he did it the right way and branched off and started his own business.

    I will say, depending what you really want to do, and I ask because you mention space requirements. Depending how long you plan to live there, you may want to look at a tankless/GAS system, if you can. It'd be around $3000.

            Im using a new GE Geospring water heater and I like it. I dont think its much bigger than a normal 50 gallon heater and its much more efficient. It was $900 but I got $100 or so back via energy rebate locally and I believe some on my taxes.

              No interest in tankless. I researched those a while back and see that they seem to cause a lot of problems, like inconsistent heat output, or not enough hot water volume for all the demands in a house. We won't live here forever, so the long run savings won't cover the high installation cost.

              I just want an exact replacement for what's here, before April 15 How do I contact your buddy?
