"I needed it fixed immediately, as the heat was dropping rapidly in the house. I called my usual company that I've used for years, and was told that no one could service my furnace until "maybe tomorrow". Not good enough. I'm hearty but not going without heat for two days. I called Peterman and they sent a rep, Jason, out in a couple of hours. Jason was great, and happy to explain what was going on. Fried circuit board. He had to go get one, but he replaced it, did a cleaning, replaced our filter with a better one, and was on his way. Jason was great, knew his business, and I will call again. After he left, I later saw the receipt, which was emailed to me. It was quite vague; I was charged for "1 unit" of this and that. No prices. I want to know exactly what I am being charged for each item, not just a total. It is also flummoxing that it cost an additional $20 to pay a year's contract up front than to pay monthly. This is mind-boggling. No one is allowed to auto-debit my checking account. I pay in full. Other than these small issues unrelated to the repair itself, all went well."

"This was an emergency service call. Main water supply pipe from street to our house had failed. They responded to call within 45 minutes, evaluated issue, gave us price, Within another half hour equipment showed up. Staff was friendly professional and efficient. Start to finish from initial phone call to replaced main with running water re-established was just over 4 hours. Really impressive company with great customer service. Thank you!"

"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"

"I definitely will go to them again for any future plumbing needs. Not only did he make the requested repairs, he figured out why there was no hot water to the bathroom and corrected it. All our plumbing works great now and the ceiling was repaired so nicely that no one would ever know it was cut open to access the pipes. Highly, highly recommend!!!"

"Steven showed up and was able to repair our AC after two years of multiple repair companies that could not help. Everyone else said we had to replace when Steven was able to determine that it just needed a quick repair. He was professional and so pleasant. English is not our first language but he was so patient with us. Highly recommend!"

"The company was professional and responsive from the consultation to the office staff to the various people who worked on our project. I had tried to contact about 10 companies to get our heater/ on demand hot water heater replaced. Addario's was the only one who responded immediately and was able to fit us into their schedule to get the work done. We had contact with at least 8 staff people in various capacities, and all were professional, polite and knowledgeable. We also appreciated the senior discount for our project and assistance with the MassSave rebate process.. It has been difficult for us to find service people since we move to Gloucester. We were surprised that the company services this area and we would definitely use them again for plumbing or electrical services."

"I hired Marcin & his team at Precision Plumbing & HVAC for multiple projects. First to handle all plumbing in a gutted bathroom renovation, then to replace an old gas water heater and furnace with a new high efficiency combi boiler. I've since recommended them to friends and family and would absolutely do so again."

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