3. How often should I schedule maintenance on my water heater?

Regular maintenance helps your unit run efficiently, extending its lifespan and preventing breakdowns. It also curbs the need for replacements and saves you big bucks in the long run! We recommend maintenance at least once a year, especially before winter.

We’ll inspect for wear and tear, test safety valves, flush sediment buildup, and check for efficient operation.

4. What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?

A conventional storage tank heater stores and heats a set amount of H2O, while a tankless model heats on demand.

5. What are the benefits of switching to a tankless water heater?

Tankless models have increased energy efficiency and an unlimited supply of heated H2O. They also take up less space compared to traditional units.

6. Why is it important to schedule water heater cleanings once a year?

Scheduling annual cleanings is crucial to maintaining the efficiency and lifespan of your system. Regular cleanings help prevent sediment buildup, which can reduce performance, increase utility bills, and lead to costly repairs. It also ensures safe and reliable operation.

Customer Feedback

Stephanie H, Oct 19, 2023

They not only replaced my faucet, but did an annual plumbing inspection which I’ve never had and was hugely helpful. I would highly recommend this company for the way they treat their customers and the good service.
Janelle H, Sept 23, 2023

Wonderful first experience with Gilman Plumbing, It’s so hard to find good people out here in the NNK. I called them with a non-emergency today and within 30 min they were at my house and repaired everything within 1 hour 40 min from first call to a finished product. Thank you so much Gilman, we are customers for a long time!
Michelle M, June 15, 2023

I have used Gilman’s for years and have never been disappointed. The men who come out are always polite, respectful, and careful to explain what is going on and what my options are. I cannot say enough how much I recommend them for whatever service you may need.
Leslie I, Oct 9, 2023

I can not say enough good things about the team at Gilman in Kilmarnock. Whenever I have had an issue I get a very timely appointment due to great administrative management. Everyone from front desk to HVAC and plumbing are great to work with. They will not quit until the job is done. Kudos especially to “Noah” for two days of dead ends with a drain clog. He kept a pleasant attitude no matter how messy the job became! I highly recommend Gilman. Thanks for a great job every time.

We had an area in the kitchen with damp drywall. Gilman sent a technician early the next morning who found the leak, verified where it was coming from, removed damaged pipe and installed new pipe. Our technician Chris was professional, knowledgeable, and completed the job timely. I would recommend Gilman to any of our neighbors.

Never run out of hot H2O!

There’s no right or wrong when it comes to the type of unit that’s right for you, but a tankless water heater replacement ensures you’re always getting hot water.

A tankless water heater installation comes with many benefits:

Constant supply of hot water
Higher life expectancy of over 20 years
They can be 10%-30% more efficient
They take up less space

If you think your home needs a tankless installation, give our technicians a call!

Maximum efficiency means lower utility bills & increases reliability

When choosing a new water heater for your home, it’s important to ensure it’s large enough to meet your household’s needs while also maximizing savings.

Pay attention to the Energy Factor (EF) rating—the higher the EF, the more efficient the unit and the lower your operating costs.

However, while a high EF is beneficial, it's also important to consider the cost of the energy source used to heat the water. Our experts can guide you through the options and help you select the ideal choice for your home.
