"I received a call back promptly. Tom couldn t have been more helpful to me from walking me through shutting the water and the electricity to my water heater off. He gave me a fair deal on a new water heater made me the first appointment of the day because of having my son in the house and came promptly on time and finished the job very quickly. I really appreciate everything he did for my family and would recommend him to anyone."

"Replaced a tank water heater, the door was too narrow so first pitched removing framing with no guarantee that it’d be replaced correctly. I suggested using a smaller sized unit based on a quote from another plumber which is the route we went. They also covered the overage for the additional cost of the smaller sized unit which was nice but if I wasn’t aware of the option I’m not sure what I would have done. They also only sent one person initially so I helped bring the old unit down and the new one up in between trying to work. Also the breaker to the hot water heater was never flipped back so I’m waiting to see how the unit performs now."

"Michael knew that the part that had failed on my hot water heater was covered by a five year warranty. He contacted the manufacturer representative directly and saved me a lot of money. His work was excellent."

"AirTech and Mark Miller responded by calling me almost immediately after my online inquiry to Home Advisor's for service on my gas furnace. It was on December 23rd, Saturday approximately 6pm. He came within the hour and fixed the problem with my furnace. Considering a weekend, after hours and also a holiday weekend at that, extremely reasonable price. I would use them again and I would recommend them highly, as well."

"Thank you HomeAdvisor! I spoke with them late on a Saturday and by Monday afternoon my new hot water heater was installed. They shopped around to get me the best price on the equipment I needed and were so kind to keep me informed as to their arrival time. They did a fantastic job getting out the old and installing the new, I am super happy!!! I would definitely recommend them! Thank you Mike and Todd!!!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Branford, CT

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.
