"In late June of 2023, Neo and his apprentice replaced our water heater. Neo did charge slightly more than Google reported as the average price in our geographic area. However, "you get what you pay for." Neo was diligent, friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Neo responded promptly to all telephone calls and text messages. There was no drama with Neo. Neo was a consummate professional. We would definitely recommend S&S Piping and Heat. When we experienced a runaway faucet and a broken shut-off valve in the spring of 2024, Neo was quick to respond. Our over-engineered faucet required more than the replacement of a simple washer. In a professional manner, Neo repaired the faucet, replaced the valve, and corrected a related water-pressure problem. As usual, Neo offered good, solid communications. Yet again, we would definitely recommend S&S Piping and Heat."

"We found multiple issues with the heating system with our new house, and had to get a few service calls. We are glad to find Genove Oil & Air Co, they were very competent & professional, and fixed all the issues quickly and helped me understand the system better. Franco who does the scheduling is very accommodating, and kept me informed if the technicians were late. Frank and Richard (their Sr technicians) definitely know their stuff, and pleasant to talk to. This is a well run company and we would definitely use them again."

"By the time I found Joe’s business, the water heater had been deemed dead’s by the manufacturer, it was Sunday afternoon, a blizzard was to start around 8:00pm. Joe and his partner took out the old heater, drove with me to HD picked up the new one, installed it and I had hot water before the first snow flakes hit the ground. The price was very reasonable too, regardless of the circumstances. Two thumbs up and five stars. "

"Justin and Cam, the technicians, did a great job. We have an old farmhouse with a very strange configuration of partial crawlspace and partial full basement, and water was leaking through the fieldstone foundation wall from the crawlspace. They quickly diagnosed that the problem was coming from 1 or 2 zones of the hot water radiator heating system, and they were able to shut off those zones to stop the leak, while allowing the house to still use water for sinks, toilets, and showers. We'll have to do more work later to replace pipes to the radiator but, because they are hard to access, we need to plan ahead for some construction work. I'm fully satisfied that these guys were able to find the problem and give us even a temporary solution that allows us to have our working plumbing again without the basement getting wet. Would definitely work with them again."

"Shawn was great, very experienced and did a great job. Not having a quote before hand hurts when faced with the cost at the end, but compare to others, both Tony and Shawn were timely, and provided honest advice. Instead or replacing entire water pipes in my house, they added valve that controls water pressure intake attached to our new washing machine, which was rattling the entire house without the valve. Shawn also replaced all knobs and water filter in main water pipe and replaced them with lead free bolt handles. Awesome job overall ð"

"John is hands down the best plumber I?ve dealt with. I had a frozen pipe and after calling multiple plumbers who couldn?t identify the issue or offered zero real help, John came through immediately. He showed up the same day I called, quickly found the problem, and had everything fixed within 30 minutes. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. After a stressful situation and a lot of wasted time with other companies, John made the whole process easy and painless. I wouldn?t hesitate to call him again and will be recommending him to everyone I know."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in East Boston, MA

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.
