"A heater at one of my rental properties wasn’t heating the apartment correctly. I called and he helped me trouble shoot the issues for an initial fix and then recommended another company within our area to come the next day to permanently fix the issue. He told me exactly what needed to happen and what parts needed to be replaced so when the other service provider showed up, it was very quick service."

"Originally hired to repair a shallow well jet pump, old pump was 15+ years old and the part needed was no longer made and obsolete according to the manufacturer's web site. Installed a new shallow well jet pump and tank that same day, only took a couple of hours. Came back the next day to adjust the default pressure switch from 20/40 to 30/50 which is allot better now. Will definitely call them next time I need something repaired and/or replaced. Job well done.."

"Estimator came out quickly, was very personable, and could schedule my install appointment a few weeks later right then and there. When the tech came out he was polite, efficient, and very quick.  Overall I was very happy with the service and would recommend them to others if the price is competitive with another company.

"They have always fixed the problems that we've had. Frustrations? Delays? At times. We live in a flawed world. But overall, service has been professional and well done. It has always been worth the monthly fee and deductibles. If you consider that most appliances today only last five years or so, breakdowns are going to be a given. Our most recent repair will require at least two service calls and an $1800 part. That more than pays for our entire year's fees."

"Very good, almost great. The install team arrived on time, confirmed work order & started the job. In about 4.5 hrs, power was applied & we started to get heat. A quick overview of the HAVC system was given, balance paid all questions answered and there were smiles on most faces. The sales person described the operation of the new HAVC to be quieter than current system and it is. However, the term quieter was not expressed in db difference so a service tech came out and was able to discuss the issue. The whole evolution was a positive event and we will gladly refer Orbit Energy & Power LLC, as a HAVC company that I will work with again."

"The team effort was amazing to watch.  Along with the owner, the guys (Anthony and Joey) were impressive with their knowlege as well as answering my questions.  They were eager to answer and still kept busy with their tasks.  It has been a long time since I witnessed employees who not only cared, but worked extremely well together.  Newtown heating and A/C has a lot to be proud to perform in such a professional envoronment.  They are super.

Parts were made on site or in their nearby shop to custom fit the heat exchanger to my current duct work.  I am very happy with the state-of-the-art equipment installed.  I feel very comfortable with my new system and highly recommed contacting them.

The system has been working perfectly.  On 2/10/2014 I called about a message code and service was prompt.  The problem was with my internet service unable to download some new software as a result of the power outages from the recent snow/ice storm.

I am very interested in some additional work for a battery backup for my sump pump.  I am requesting additional information about a full home generator.

Also, they cleaned up after the installation and removed all of the old equipment.

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Athens, PA

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.
