We understand that unexpected repairs and replacements can strain your budget. That’s why we offer:
Water heaters that failed, which we have replaced, have come in a wide variety of ages. Typically, though, the top “professional” brands of gas and electric water heaters seem to last about 8 to 12 years, while the “consumer grade” units typically fail a bit sooner.
Electric water heaters tend to last slightly longer than gas water heaters. Gas-powered “tankless” water heaters, though, are typically promoted as lasting 20-25 years.
A major difference between “professional grade” and “consumer grade” water heaters is in their warranty. Professional brands generally have a full warranty for the scheduled life of the unit, but consumer brands are typically “pro-rated”, covering only a part of the value of the unit (an amount that declines as the unit ages).
For more information on water heaters, their longevity, and their warranties, give us a call. If you would like to have this done – give us a call. We’ll be happy check your home and give you a free quote.
What's the best choice in water heaters for conserving energy?
Other than your furnace, water heating is often the single largest cause of your home’s gas or electric bill. Improvements here often pay for themselves quickly and reap huge rewards for your small investment.
When it comes to choosing from the various options for water heating, each person’s situation is unique. We are able to install a wide range of top-brand electric water heaters, Rinnai tankless gas water heaters, and instant hot water heaters. What works best for you is determined by reviewing your household and its water use.
How many people live in your house?
Do they all need to shower at about the same time?
Do you have more than one bath?
Do you have several appliances that use hot water simultaneously?
How long are the lines from the water heater to an outlet?
Do you frequently need short, quick supplies of hot water at a sink?
Is your home all-electric?
There are other questions, too, to consider. Each can have a significant effect on your water heater's cost, efficiency, and usefulness. Since every situation is different, it’s impossible to say which option is best without a review of your personal situation. The good news is that there ARE many great options, today, for significantly reducing water-heating costs. We’re available to discuss the options with you – just give us a call (316) 799-3212.
Why isn't my garbage disposal working when we have family or guests over for holiday meals?
Usually when the homeowner hosts a holiday meal or big dinner, (depending on the season), mashed potatoes or watermelon is served. When large quantities potato peels or watermelon rinds are disposed of through the garbage disposal the following may occur.
While the kitchen faucet is on during the disposal process, the garbage literally “floats” on a stream of water while passing through the 2″ kitchen drain to the 4″ main house drain. As soon as the kitchen faucet is turned off, the flowing stream of water passing through the 2″ kitchen drain line stops. Any garbage that was “held in suspension” — floating in the stream of water — immediately settles to the bottom of the 2″ drain line.
As the homeowner continues to intermittently use the garbage disposal, more and more ground-up garbage settles into the 2″ kitchen drain line — which eventually causes a complete stoppage.
SOLUTION (preventive measures):
Never dispose of potato peels or rinds of any kind into the garbage disposal. Always dispose with household trash, in a trash container.
When disposing of garbage through the garbage disposal, let the kitchen faucet continue to run for 10 to 15 seconds after the sink basin and disposer are empty. This will allow the stream of water to continue to flow, holding the garbage in “suspension” until it reaches the 4″ main house drain — where bathroom discharge will flush garbage into the sewer main.
Are there any good new toilets available that flush really well?
Most of the brands have improved greatly from the early days of the low-flow toilets (using only 1.6 gallons per flush). Most major brands that we carry have solved this early problem, with new designs. At the top of the list is Toto, the world’s largest manufacturer of plumbing fixtures. Toto’s global reputation is excellent, and their designs lead the industry. We stock some of their most popular products, and can order many other Toto products (and other leading brands, too) at your request.

"Their service was excellent!"
I would recommend Bowers Plumbing. They scheduled us for repair right away. The technician wears booties over shoes, so there was no tracking on the floor. They repaired my toilet and left the area cleaned up. Plus we have a one-year warranty!
- Pamela S.
"Will get plumbing needs done by them!"
We had a Bosch dishwasher that we bought from Costco and they said they would install and they didn’t. We contacted Bower’s Plumbing and showed up on time and prepared. David the plumber was super nice and knowledgeable.
- Tony C.

Tylor replaced a sewage lift in my basement. He was quick, courteous, and organized with his work. I’m very satisfied with Bowers and recommend them to anyone needing plumbing repair work.
- Chris K.
"Very impressed!"
They assessed the problem and gave me an estimate with two choices. They began fixing it, had a bit of a change, and let me know of that change right away. I was so impressed with their manners, professionalism, and ability to fix the problem right away.
- Valeria W.
"Couldn’t express my gratefulness enough!"
My outside cooling system went out and I called and was scheduled for the next day after calling other companies. Even on my scheduled appointment day, I was pushed up and Robert was sent to me and he is a GOD SEND!!
- Kierra W.
"We would choose them again and again!"
Andrew and Wyatt were wonderful!! Very polite and took the time to work with us and explain what to expect. This was an extremely dirty job and they worked very hard to make sure the dirt and dust did not enter the rest of the house.
- Diana S.
"Well done!"
Bowers and their repair technician provided excellent service communication, and punctuality, were knowledgeable, and were responsibly efficient. I do not hesitate to recommend Bowers Plumbing for peace of mind of a competitively-priced job.

"Robert was an awesome technician."
He took the time to discuss everything with my elderly father to ensure he understood it. Did a great job of keeping his work areas clean and dry while it was raining and even hauled off the old AC filter... much appreciated! I would recommend them!
