Frequently Asked Questions


  • How much does it cost to install a tankless heater? The initial cost is higher than a tank due to the unit price and installation complexity, but the long-term energy savings and 20-year lifespan often offer a superior ROI.
  • Why is my hot water rusty? This usually indicates the glass lining of your steel tank has cracked and the metal is rusting. This cannot be repaired; the tank must be replaced immediately before it bursts.
  • Do you install electric water heaters? Yes. We install electric tanks and the new hybrid heat pump water heaters, which are incredibly efficient for all-electric homes.
  • How long does a replacement take? A standard tank swap takes 2-4 hours. A tankless conversion typically takes a full day due to the gas and vent modifications.
  • What is an anode rod? It is a "sacrificial" metal rod inside the tank that attracts rust so the tank itself doesn't corrode. Replacing it every 3-5 years can double your tank's life.

Birmingham, MI Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

The area comprising what is now the city of Birmingham was part of land ceded by Native American tribes to the United States government by the 1807 Treaty of Detroit. However, settlement was delayed, first by the War of 1812. Afterward the Surveyor-General of the United States, Edward Tiffin, made an unfavorable report regarding the placement of Military Bounty Lands for veterans of the War of 1812. Tiffin's report claimed that, because of marsh, in this area "There would not be an acre out of a hundred, if there would be one out of a thousand that would, in any case, admit cultivation." In 1818, Territorial Governor Lewis Cass led a group of men along the Indian Trail. The governor's party discovered that the swamp was not as extensive as Tiffin had supposed. Not long after Cass issued a more encouraging report about the land, interest quickened as to its suitability for settlement.
