"I give Brian a 5 on doing the job, and a 1 on responsiveness - so a 3 average rating. Brian is an excellent plumber, he has done several jobs for me and I would use him again. However, Brian is horrible on responding to texts, phone calls and emails. It is extremely hard to get a hold of him and, he hasn?t shown up for scheduled appointments with no notice or reason given. Very frustrating to communicate with him. But, if your lucky enough to get his attention - he does excellent work."

We know you're busy so we offer 1 or 2 hour arrival windows and courtesy calls when we're on the way. You save more because we don't charge full price for additional (add-on) repairs you may want us to look at while we're in your home. You get an honest opinion and not an “up-sell” by a plumber looking for a commission check. You are comfortable with the repairs and the price because we've explained our diagnosis along with all your options.

"Anthony & Thomas were prompt and corrected my problems quickly. Mike Mackin is ALWAYS accessible and reliable. They are a well run company and I rely on them always!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Akron, OH

Warning signs include fluctuating water temperatures, a pilot light that repeatedly goes out, unusual noises from the tank, or complete heating failure. You might also detect a rotten egg smell, indicating a potential gas leak, or notice water that never reaches the proper temperature. If your water heater is over eight years old and displaying these symptoms, the gas valve is a likely culprit. Professional inspection is recommended, especially if gas odors are present.

Water heater gas valves are not universally interchangeable. Each valve must match your specific water heater's make, model, and specifications. Important compatibility factors include gas type (natural gas vs. propane), BTU rating, connection types, and physical dimensions. Using an incorrect valve can result in poor performance, premature failure, or dangerous gas leaks. Always consult your water heater's documentation or a professional plumber to identify the appropriate replacement valve for your unit.
