Re: Water heater rusty / leaking

A $107 to roll a truck and fix pipe!

That's great.

Good luck.

A friend said he could install a water heater, he's done a few before and feels confident doing it.

Anyone know about this heater:
Whirlpool Energy Smart 50-Gallon 12-Year Electric Water Heater
Item #: 345709 | Model #: ES50R123-45D

Unless you a planning on switching to electric that won't work.

Right, I meant to send the gas one on the link, was looking at a couple, but yes, it's gas, not electric.

This one. »www.lowes.com/pd_333595- ··· rating|1

Last water heater I had to purchase was a Kenmore 80 gallon electric 12 year warranty unit.

Think the thermostat failed just after first year. When they replaced it I just purchased a new service contract for another year. Cheaper than just paying for service call. About 1 week before my contract ended the tank started leaking.

So in short not happy with Kenmore.

On positive note had no issues with Sears sending someone out to fix and replace tank. Did have to pay $35 for permit when they replaced the tank.
