"We hired Old Skool to remove and replace my fathers' heater and oil tank. I live in Georgia, and Dad in Delaware Count, so truthful communication was a necessity, yet rarely found n contractors. Frank and his crew are exceptional! From the first contact through to the end of the heating system install either Frank or one of his crew kept me informed of the progress via phone and photos, I knew the status of the job at all times. His crew arrived on time, ready to work.. and work they did! At the end of the work day you would not know they were there; they cleaned up so well after themselves. The metal and plumbing workmanship is something not normally seen these days- nor is the business and work ethics exhibited by Old Skool..With out hesitation I enthusiastically recommend Frank and his crew, and will call them first in the future. Thanks Frank, Francis, Dave and the entire crew."

"After looking at what was suppose to be done, and the entire job was evaluated, I was told I would be better off in getting a complete new water heater, and not put new parts in an 8 year old water heater, for once I felt like I was not ripped off, and given the best advice, and that is what I will do."

"A few weeks ago our gas hot water heater died. We had never used Valdel Plumbing before but were extremely impressed with the entire experience. We found them on Angie's list as being highly rated and there's a reason for it. We called them at 7:30 in the morning and by 11:30 AM had hot water and that's not exaggerating! Their specialist, Steve Ault was awesome and very knowledgeable. He quickly got to work dismantling the old unit. He even had a new heater and all the parts on his truck so there wasn't even a delay in waiting for parts or a new heater to be delivered. He also installed a drip pan, a pressure regulator and re-routed some of the exhaust piping for better venting. The price they charged seemed to be in line with the work performed. Obviously, based on our first time experience, we'd highly recommend Valdel and Steve for any residential plumbing work. Thanks Valdel!"

"Fernando and his team were incredible. I had an emergency at one of my properties and needed urgent assistance after hours. Fernando came out personally with his crew they found and corrected the issue rightaway. I also had them change four 90 gallon water heaters at two of my properties and they did an incredible job. What stands out with Fernando and his crew is how neat they work, how professional and knowledgeable they are, and they also left all three of my properties spotless cleaning up after themselves. I can't be happier with the work I received from them and now I have them on speed dial for all of my plumbing work."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Downingtown, 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.
