"Needed to repair or replace my tankless electric water heater. Many other companies refused to even take a look. Worked with Andy, had to get mine replaced but did it quick and very professional."

"The quote was reasonable and submitted fast after my inquiry. Others couldn’t touch it. Prices for this service are quoted as if we’re just randomly blurting out numbers . Water Heater Services does only water heaters and gives a good price."

"The service provided by AES was fantastic. they were very responsive and arrived on time. the service thy provided was very through and once they diagnosed the problem with my Heating unit they walked me through all the options and cost with me. They located the part I needed for the repair that same day and came back out the next day to install it. they again arrived on time and even when they discovered another part that was damaged outside of the initial estimate they went back to the shop to get it and installed it free of charge. after all repairs were made they a gained tested the unit and everything ran great. I could not be more pleased with the service I received from AES after bad experiences with two other businesses before them. I would definitely recommend them to others and use them again if the need arises."

"SwiftPro was excellent. When our hot water heater went out (at nearly 20 years old, we were neither upset nor surprised!) we reached out to a few places but SwiftPro was the most responsive and had the price was fair. Zabi, the service technician was fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about him. He was prompt, provided excellent communication, took meticulous care with the work and work space, and was just a great person to talk to. The install went great and there was no aggressive sales tactics or upselling. Just a genuine cut and dry hot water heater removal and install experience. I highly recommend SwiftPro. Thanks Zabi!"

"I had to replace a water heater quickly. Gave me a competitive quote with a water heater with desirable specs within a day and scheduled me the day after. Technician was knowledgeable and efficiently performed the work. Water heater performs just fine. Cleaned up workspace and took a few mins to walk through water heater and maintenance after."

"We called DoneRite after the water heater replacement company fiddled with the Town’s water supply end and somehow caused a blockage that shut off water supply coming into our house. Willis and his assistant arrived promptly and were confident in their assessment of the situation and their proposed solution. They were courteous in their interactions and also said that if their solution did not work then they would not charge us. The Town had informed us the previous day that they should be contacted first to come and shut off the Town end of the supply for any repair work. Willis was respectful of this request from us and waited patiently for half an hour for the Town to send their people. Willis suggested a replacement for our main water valve (which was very old and stuck), and also got our water supply back quickly. They also ensured that they had our new water heater turned on and running before leaving. We will not hesitate to contact Willis for any of our plumbing needs."

"Ryan was very professional and answered all my questions when he did the estimate. He was frank about his services and the quality of equipment he would install. Although he was not the least expensive, he demonstrated a sense of trust. He arrived on time for the estimate and gave me a call when he was 30 minutes out. For the installation, he called 30 minutes ahead and arrived right on time. He used shoe covers when he entered the house and was mindful of our privacy. He finished the installation exactly as we agreed in the estimate, and I was very pleased with the results. This included an upgrade to the water heater as required by code that came into effect after the previous water heater was installed. I highly recommend Ryan from Pro Services and will use them for any future plumbing services."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Fredericksburg, VA

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.
