"Did a $59 consult only. Turned out the cost of repairing the old heater was almost as much as a new one, so we got a new one, and handled the install ourselves. Luis B was great, knowledgeable, friendly, didn't try to upcharge just to sell a heater, which we appreciated. Gave us an honest evaluation, several options, and was right on time. I will say, though, that the company failed to call me when he was on his way... not a big deal. All in all a good experience."

"We are in the process of having both our dirty & clean water lines completely changed, which is a huge project. Several of the great Service Champion technicians have had to dig huge holes & long trenches, with the additional obstacle of having to cut through huge roots, from an enormous tree in front of our house, that have literally taking over our front yard & destroyed the pipes. They also cut through cement & even â  jackhammeredâ  through an enormous patch of concrete that was about a foot deep, which took a lot of time & muscle to remove! This was definitely an amazing example of â  good deeds for freeâ  . We had so many different, excellent technicians coming & going, who did a tremendous job for us, but I unfortunately cannot remember everybodyâ  s names. There are two guys who actually have been working at our house the most, so Iâ  d like to recognize them (big Chris & Ryan). They are both terrific examples of the Service Champions model, and are excellent in their trade! They have worked very hard & have been a great help in so many different ways, helping to make this difficult process much easier for our family! Kudos & our deepest thanks to Chris & Ryan & all the great Service Champions professionals! We sincerely appreciate you all!"

"RCâ s Plumbing is absolutely the best! Robert, the owner of RCâ s Plumbing, replaced a leaking 75-gallon water heater (with recirculating pump) just yesterday and his quality of work from start to finish was truly superb! His attention to detail and thoughtfulness throughout every step of the project, including the mitigation of mold and reinforcing the raised platform that the heavy (approx. 620-lbs, filled) water heater sits on, is honestly second to none. Something that I also appreciated and valued about RCâ s Plumbing and Robert is how he takes his time to answer any and all questions about the project, both during and after the project. After completion of the project, Robert summarized everything that was done, showed us how to operate the various components (e.g., new valves, gas sediment trap, pressure release valve, etc.) and also shared information about maintenance of our new 75-gallon water heater and registration for warranty. Robert and his technician assistant (his son) also cleaned up the entire work area before leaving. My wife and I could not be more happy! One final but very important noteâ there are many other plumbers out there competing for your project. When it comes to a water heater replacement project, whether it be a common gas water heater with tank storage or a tankless gas or all-electric water heater, many plumbers only offer a specific brand of water heater they like to install. You donâ t really get a choice. With Robert and RCâ s Plumbing, I received an entirely different and genuinely appreciated and valued experience that many other plumbers would not provideâ being able to choose/select the make and model of the water heater you want for your house without paying an inflated price for the project! After doing some research regarding the make and model of water heater I wanted for my home, l shared the information with Robert. He was completely respectful and open to my choice/selection of water heater and without hesitation, agreed to call the plumbing supply houses he normally use to track down the water heater I wanted. When he learned the local supply houses did not carry the specific model I sought, Robert did not hesitate to special order the specific model for me. When the water heater was delivered to RCâ s Plumbing, Robert called to schedule the installation appointment. As stated earlier, my wife and I could not be more happy with the completed project. We highly recommend RCâ s Plumbing without hesitation for all your plumbing needs! Thank you again, Robert, for the super job and you will have us as customers for life! Tom"

"My water main went out on Christmas Eve leaving me without water, Wes offered to come out on Christmas day to make the repairs. I told him we could wait until the next day, he arrived on time, dug up my very rocky soil to get to the water main and made the repairs. The customer service was great and he explained everything to me every step of the way. The cost was also reasonable. I have asked that he return to make an additional repair later this week. He definitely has a repeat customer."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Claremont, CA

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.
