"I'm very happy with the service I received from Edge Plumbing. I had an emergency with my plumbing and needed my drain cleaned out the night before a holiday. Travis responded almost immediately upon choosing him as one of the plumbing services near me. He came over that night, and then returned the next morning at 8 AM. Very prompt and communication was constant. He got my drains all cleaned out, but found a break in my line which needed to be repaired. He identified where the exact location of the break and was very helpful working with the excavator to get my line repaired. I'm very pleased with his service, communication, timeliness, and very fair cost. I would definitely use Edge Plumbing again."

"After I bought my new house I was in need of a full system, my heater and “air conditioner” was older than me. I hired Maverick, and was extremely impressed with their performance and professionalism. I recommended them to my family as well for any heat or A/C issues. 100% would hire again if I need. They did an amazing job with my new furnace and central air units."

"This company was the only pro we were matched with. I was very impressed by their quick response and willingness to meet my needs. The manufacturer recommended we hire a pro to determine the issue with our water heater that we were unable to diagnose ourselves or through phone calls with them. Edwards sent out a very personable and knowledgable plumber that recommended what we needed. The charge for them to come out was stated as $59 which would be applied to the cost of repair. The heater was still under warranty, so we requested the part from the manufacturer and Edwards set up a second appt to come out and install it. They were very flexible, as the part that was promised, did not arrived until very late in the day on Friday, but we were scheduled for the next afternoon. My husband and I are pretty handy at household repairs, but were happy with their service, so decided to go with them, and draining the tank and reconnecting gas wasn't something we were looking forward to doing ourselves. Another pleasant young man showed up as scheduled and performed the service needed. Now perhaps I am uniformed, as we do most repair work for ourselves. But after being here for less than an hour and using the part the we had secured, I was handed the bill for $294.67!! Three hundred dollars for travel and less than an hour of work seemed extremely out of line to us! My husband contacted the company and requested to speak to a manager. The manager returned the call 3 days later, but needed to investigate before offering a solution. My husband was told that I had been given an estimate prior to the work being performed, which I was not. The manager told my husband he would call back. My husband did not receive this call until after he had emailed the company the following day to report his displeasure in their handling of the issue. The manager's solution was to send a refund check of $50, as he was unable to credit the card used?! I am still waiting for this check, and I still feel like we were overcharged. This is something that we would have been able to do ourselves and would have if we had been given an estimate of the actual cost. My mistake for hiring them without this information upfront, but I up until this point I had been extremely impressed by this company. If you have money to spend, then I would recommend Edwards for your project. The service staff is extremely personable and professional. I felt that the plumbers that came out were knowledgeable. I realize that you get what you pay for, but this is out of our price range and we will not be using their services again."

"We initially thought that there was a leak in the line for which a quote was provided. Once the line was uncovered to repair the leak it was discovered that the entire line (lead pipe which had been installed when the house was built in 1967) was corroded and would probably continue to spring leaks even after the first was repaired. The contractor recommended that the entire line be replaced although he was more than willing to repair only the leak for the initial estimate of $195. I agreed with his recommendation.
The repair was expected to take several days so the contractor ran a temporary supply line to the house so that we would not be without water.
We were totally satisfied with the work that was completed and that the employees were professional and courteous.

"I was told by another company that I would need an entire new heating system and also needed to replace my air conditioning system. When Tom came out he explained that I only needed (1) new part and maintainence on my existing system and he repaired both systems for under $200. I certainly appreciate his knowlege of this equipment and most of all his honesty."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Erie, MI

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.
