➡️ See what our Treasure Valley Water Heater customers are saying!
Paul Roll, HVAC journeyman, and Austin Halverson from Top Shelf found a lot of different problems with the HVAC I had. We discussed the options and we made the decision to go with train heat pump with a new back-up furnace. They gutted all the old furnace equipment out, cleaned all the vents, removed a blockage limiting 80% of air flow to half of the house, brought in three air conditioners for us to use in the meantime and returned the next day to install the new heat pump and back-up furnace.
We have a 10-year warranty now. They were very informative and answered all my questions. From the moment the old furnace broke, they made sure our house was cool throughout the process. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional, so I can't rate them highly enough!
Don't run into the problem I had; call Top Shelf and get it done right the first time.
Chris and Steven also were able to come by and remove a ball from one of my ducts that my puppy managed to lose down it and they were very prompt and efficient.
All of my interactions with Top Shelf have been fantastic and I will continue to use them going forward.
Frequently Asked Water Heater Questions:
What types of water heaters are there?
Here at Top Shelf Heating, we can help you with any type of water heater in Meridian, Boise, and the Treasure Valley, including electric water heaters, gas water heaters, tankless water heaters, and repair services. Most homeowners are switching to tankless water heaters, and whether you have a gas or electric water heater will depend on the current system you have.
Should I repair or replace my water heater in Boise?
Numerous factors will determine if it is better to replace your hot water heater or simply fix it. For starters, the age and current condition of your hot water heater is our first litmus test. Performing a pricey repair that might only last a matter of months usually means it is better to replace your hot water heater.
The Top Shelf Heating way is to assess the present situation. We will let you know if we think we can fix your current issue and keep it under $500. If we believe the price could jump, replacing your entire hot water heater is undoubtedly worth it.
How much does a hot water heater replacement cost?
The average price to replace and install your hot water heater is dependent on the size of your hot water heater. However, the average cost can range from $1,500 to $5,000, usually around $3,000. Once again, this price is dependent on numerous factors. Tankless water heaters cost more than tanked ones, so there is flexibility in which options you elect to have installed.
How much does a water heater repair cost?
The standard water heater repair costs are around $500. For example, replacing a valve or the thermocouple is around $300 for parts plus labor. Each repair can be different, so feel free to get a few quotes when repairing your water heater.
What water heater parts can be replaced?
Electric water heaters are the most common water heater found in homes, and when there is an issue, there is a 9 in 10 chance it is one of the following:
- Heating element
- Thermostat
- Anode rod
- Dip tube
- Pressure relief valve
Each of these parts can be replaced and if your water heater is only a few years old, a repair is the better option over a replacement.
What brands of water heaters do you recommend?
When it comes to replacing your water heater, most people will use a tanked system and the brand we use is Bradford White. For tankless hot water heaters, we use Bosch.
Should I replace or repair my water heater?
Sometimes knowing whether to replace or repair your water heater can be tricky. This is why we always recommend getting a professional opinion first. The age of your existing water heater, the cost of the repair, and how long the repair will last usually determine whether or not to replace your current water heater. For example, replacing a simple heating element is a few hundred dollars and is a fast repair. However, if you have a 15-year-old water heater with a variety of issues, it might be better to get a new tankless or electric water heater.
Is there water heater maintenance I should perform?
While most water heater maintenance is minimal and nothing compared to your HVAC maintenance, flushing your water heater will increase its lifespan and keep it working longer. You want your new Meridian water heater to last at least 15 years and hopefully more. Flushing the tank once a year can get rid of debris and sediment buildup. If you notice some loud noises, this could mean it is time to perform a water heater flush.
