Another outstanding job by Gareth! He promptly arrived exactly on time. He was very cordial and professional. He installed our toilet quickly and efficiently. Well done. I will continue to use Yorkshire for all of my plumbing needs.i
We have used Yorkshire Plumbing on several occasions, and each time, the experience has been outstanding. It's clear that this is a family-run business, and that professionalism and care are their top priorities. The quality of the work is top-notch. They're not just quick; they're thorough, professional, and they take pride in what they do. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Gareth is amazing. I knew he would be very professional from the moment he put protective covers on his shoes before stepping inside my apartment. I had backed up my kitchen sink, and he worked calmly and methodically to assess the problem and find the solution. It ended up requiring a full hour, but he got it taken care of—all with a great attitude and kindness. He worked very clean the whole way through and returned my kitchen to a perfectly clean status. I can't recommend these guys highly enough!!
I have an older house and knew my sewer main was a problem as I received an estimate a year ago for $18k to replace it. Gareth gave me a second opinion that would cost less than $3k. I agreed, and he was back out a few days later and completed the repair perfectly. Not only that, he was clear in communicating what was going on, different solution options, and what to expect. Top notch service and he'll be getting all my plumbing business from now on.
That is a difficult question to answer and can be answered several different ways. But, here at Yorkshire Plumbing we prefer to use American Standard for a conventional tank style water heater. When it comes to tankless, either a Rinnai or Navien are the preferred choice. The reasons behind these choices are based on several factors, including experience, feedback, and communication with the companies themselves. If you would like to know more about your water heater or our recommendation, give us a call.
While it’s very true, “they don’t make em like they used to”, you should still get between 8 and 12 years from a tank style water heater. You should expect a longer life from a tankless and depending on the installation, and usage, you can get up to and over 20 years.
Most tankless water heaters last up to 20 years, which is nearly twice the average lifespan of tank-style units. The DOE, ENERGY STAR, and manufacturers like Rinnai, Noritz, and Navien all indicate a 20-year life expectancy when maintenance requirements are followed. Many units also include warranties that range from 10 to 12 years for the heat exchanger, which adds additional protection. Their longer lifespan comes from durable components made from stainless steel or commercial-grade copper.
Yes. Traditional tank heaters store 40 to 80 gallons of water at a time, and sediment can accumulate at the bottom as minerals settle. Over time, this sediment can affect water quality and heater performance. A tankless heater does not store water, so every gallon that passes through the unit is fresh from your supply line. Studies referenced by the Water Quality Association (WQA) confirm that sediment buildup is common in tank-style heaters, especially in areas with hard water. Homes that want cleaner, fresher water benefit from the tankless design.
Tank-style water heaters can take up to 16 square feet of floor space. Tankless units are compact and typically mount on a wall. Most are about the size of a small suitcase. This frees up storage space in garages, utility rooms, or closets. The International Residential Code (IRC) and Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) both allow flexible installation locations for tankless systems, making them ideal for smaller homes where floor space is limited.
There can be. Many tankless systems require a larger gas supply line because they must deliver higher BTU output to heat water instantly. For most homes, this means upgrading from a ½ inch gas line to a ¾ inch line to meet manufacturer specifications. Tank-style venting also cannot be reused because tankless units often require dedicated stainless steel venting or 2 inch PVC depending on the model. This change may require new wall or roof penetrations. These upgrades follow manufacturer installation manuals and UPC requirements. These additions increase the upfront cost but help the system perform correctly and safely.
Yes. Tankless systems need annual descaling to prevent mineral buildup in the heat exchanger. Without maintenance, minerals can reduce efficiency, shorten lifespan, and void manufacturer warranties. Rinnai, Noritz, and Navien all recommend yearly flushing, especially in areas with moderate to hard water. Many licensed plumbers use a food grade descaling solution circulated through the unit to dissolve accumulated calcium and magnesium. Annual maintenance ensures the unit maintains peak performance and protects long-term reliability.
