Hot Water Tank Replacement

[g-m]

It's a bit more but we got a 200,000 btu Navien tankless and I love it so much

Anyone ever use this guy? https://tankkingplumbing.com/
He's got 80 5-star reviews on Google so I tried to contact him via his website but I never got a reply. I'm wondering if this is a red flag. Prices seem decent, $1650 installed for a 50 gallon Rheem.

My advice, use a bigger named company. But you do you.

These prices are actually a lot less than I would have guessed.

10 years ago I replaced my 50 gallon with Pete the Plumber. Wasn't even $900. Got a home show special. He had a small booth and was manning it himself, giving out coupons for hot water tank replacement.

Related, flushed my 60 gallon tank today. Takes a long time. Didn't see much of anything except water coming out. Guess I'm good for another many years.

Replaced my tank a few months ago.
My theory was either thermostat was getting very lazy or was full of sediment, buffering when the thermostat actual too action on the water temp.
Tank was actually empty of sediment minus minor crud. Never drained it in the 12 years and prior, I doubt those owners drained it. So I stand by my statement of you're wasting your time draining the tank.

Scandia Plumbing and Heating. Went with NOT the home depot special.

I've drained mine once and absolutely fuck-all sediment came out. Mine is now a decade old but half its life it's been fed softened water, so I tend to think that will reduce sediment.

like j-roc, my water is hard as fuck, and still didn't notice anything.
