Great professional service provided by Antonio. He was efficient and went the extra mile.
I think Bay Ridge Plumbing & Boiler Repair is a great company. From beginning to end everyone we encountered was extremely professional and courteous. They all took their time and did a great job answering our questions and explaining everything to us. Our first encounter was with Dave who spent the time with us and explained out options. The re-piping crew that came out - Lucio, Jose and Justin were amazing. The arrived a little earlier than their scheduled time and stayed until they completed everything. I was so impressed with their work and professionalism. The next person who came was Flaniel to "put our house back together" with the sheet rock repair. Just as the others, Flaniel was professional, very friendly and did an amazing job. If someone was to come into our house now, they would never know there were many holes in the sheetrock. If you are ever in the need to have the pipes replace in your house, Bay Ridge Plumbing & Boiler Repair should be your only phone call.
Very pleased with the service from start to finish. Rod was extremely professional, respectful, and knowledgeable! The work performed was done flawlessly! Will definitely use again for all plumbing needs!
Dave was very attentive and was able to help with a last minute emergency on a Friday afternoon! He was very informative about my options and he was able to switch out my old water heater for a new one in a couple of hours! I would definitely recommend Dave.
Jason did a fantastic job troubleshooting it down to the repair and it was just something simple but I missed it so thank you Jason and thank you Bay Ridge Plumbing & Boiler Repair

Anthony was super respectful and very informative throughout our whole situation wouldn’t call anyone else. Amazing service
Fast and efficient service. Explained all the details of the maintenance and made recommendations. Would definitely recommend.
I have now used Bay Ridge Plumbing & Boiler Repair for 3 separate jobs across 2 properties. Most recently, Dave knocked it out of the park with a main line repair. I will continue using this company in the future due to quality of work, fair pricing, and great staff.
Antonio is a terrific ambassador for your service. We couldn’t be more pleased with the assistance and attention to detail. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions
- How Often Should I Service My Hot Water Heater?
You should service your hot water heater at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your unit. During a service, a professional plumber will typically inspect the system, flush the tank to remove sediment buildup, check the pressure relief valve, and assess other components to ensure everything is working properly. If you have hard water or use your heater more frequently, you may want to consider servicing it every 6 months to keep it running optimally.
- Is electric or gas a better fuel source for a water heater?
Currently Natural Gas is clearly a better fuel than electric for heating hot water in New York. Gas water heaters have a better recovery rate (they produce more hot water) and cost about half as much to heat a gallon of water compared to electric. If you think electric is more environmentally friend – you’re wrong at least for now. Most of the electricity produced in New York is generated from burning fossil fuels. When you take into account the transmission loss of electricity it has a larger carbon footprint than gas for heating water. People in rural areas with no gas service should use electric unless they have money to burn on propane because propane is much more costly than electric for heating water.
- How long does a water heater last?
A typical water heater lasts around 8 to 12 years. The exact lifespan depends on factors like the type of water heater, the quality of the unit, how well it’s maintained, and the water quality in your area.
- Traditional tank water heaters (gas or electric) generally last 8-12 years with proper care.
- Tankless water heaters, which heat water on demand, can last 20 years or more due to their more efficient design and the absence of a storage tank.
Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment and inspecting components annually, can help extend your water heater’s lifespan.
- Why Choose Rinnai® Tankless Water Heaters?
We believe Rinnai® Tankless is simply the best option on the market. A Rinnai Tankless Water Heater solves the tank heater water inconsistency problem because hot water becomes delivered at a precise temperature to every fixture. Imagine providing unlimited hot water to your home. As an exclusive dealer and servicer of Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters, Bay Ridge Plumbing & Boiler Repair receives the highest level of Rinnai training at Rinnai Headquarters.

- Do I need a drain pan for my water heater?
If you are in the Great State of New York, a water heater drain pan usually isn’t necessary. A water heater drain pan is required when the water heater is located above a ceiling or in an attic. Let’s turn our codebooks to section 504.7 in the 2014 Amendments to the 2012 International. It says:
“504.7 Required pan. Pans shall be installed under storage-type water heaters or water heater storage tanks installed in attics or above ceilings. The pan shall be galvanized steel having a minimum thickness of 24 gauge, or other pans approved for such use. Pans are not required under tankless water heaters. (Effective January 1, 2014)”
Water heater drain pans can provide a false sense of security. If your water heater develops a hole that is significant in size, it can easily overwhelm the drain on the pan and overflow.
- Is my leaking water heater repairable?
If the leak is coming from the bottom of the tank or the very top, it is not repairable because the tank has corroded through. If the leak is coming from the temperature and pressure relief valve on the side you may need to check the pressure regulator valve in your house and/or change the temperature and pressure relief valve.
