- Closely follow the average True Cost Rate furnished on the Homeowners section of Home Advisor for labor costs - Show up on time and give up front estimates - Focus on service work and limited multi-day projects so my schedule remains fluid - Advocate on the customer's behalf shopping for best prices on quality materials and best practices to get jobs done to code at the best rate possible

"We had an issue with a Dry Well periodically backing up. Damian and the D Day Plumbing team were very professional and knowledgeable and provided an estimate with a couple different options and their related costs. They installed a new utility sink, sink pump, and needed piping and valves with tie ins to the main septic. They made improvement above and beyond the initial job breakdown, all the while staying within budget. I will certainly consider them again for any future work. Thank you Damian and the D Day Plumbing Team for a job very done!"

"Our heater stopped functioning on Nov 27, 2023 and we called Petro who had done the maintenance on it before and replaced a motor two years ago. They were responsive and a technician came two days later. He worked for 3 hours without explaining what the problem was. Then said he needed to replace the motor. He fixed the problem and left without much explanation. Two days later a bill of $2500 came via email. No explanation, no break-down. I called 4 times over the last 20 days, spoke to 4 different reps and was promised that a supervisor will contact me with the bill details. Nothing happened. Irresponsible customer service and unprofessional behavior. They show all the symptoms of big, bureaucratic, and indifferent service company. I would not recommend Petro if you have options of more personalized services."

We have 10 technicians on staff for heating, air conditioning, and plumbing needs. We also delivery heating oil, both automatic and will-call deliveries.

"For the past two months, I've been having problems with my Buderus propane furnace. I called Whitney Oil for service because they originally installed it when I brought my unit six years ago. First it died on a Friday afternoon and wouldn't work at all. They determined the control unit was bad, but I had to go an entire weekend without heat until they could obtain one from their supplier and replace it. That seemed to solve that problem. Then it started spitting out soot, which indicates incomplete combustion and could be a serious health hazard. They eventually decided it had the wrong orifice and changed it, which seemed to work. Then it started triggering over and over again when it tried to light. I could hear it trying multiple times, sometimes for a couple of minutes, before it would finally light. They tried a number of things and finally replaced the gas pressure valve. Then the soot problem recurred, only much worse than before. All this time, the flame was never the bright blue color you expect, but rather a yellow-orange. They thought there might be a draft problem, so my condo maintenance man got involved, went up on the roof and examined the chimney, but couldn't find any thing to explain the poor performance, just a lot of soot. They would come, clean it out, and then a couple of days later, the soot would be back. It got to the point where I dreaded calling them, thinking that they might have me pegged as a chronic complainer, but every time I called, they sent someone over who spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out what was going on. Finally, despite all their efforts, I had another episode where it stopped working late at night and finally, I got fed up and asked them to replace the unit. Barry Whitney offered me a brand new furnace (the same model as he has in his own house), at cost. And he didn't charge me for the 40-50 man hours his team spent trying to get my 6-year-old furnace working properly because they didn't solve my problem. They don't know I'm posting this, but I wanted to let everyone know that Whitney is an honest and reliable company dedicated to quality customer service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!"

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