"M. Brown provided an estimate and availability that just happened to fit my schedule (meaning conveniently on a Sunday and with no emergency up-charge because this was not an emergency). Due to my unusual & temporarily busy schedule, the timing and the estimates just fit and just for this time, I decided to forego 2 other estimates like I would normally do. I needed a sump pump replaced and M. Browns was able to do it with a 1/3 hp Zoeller (which is highly rated) which was a plus. I also accepted M. Brown's recommendation for adding a check valve which was not there before. He wiped the well clean, finished up the work, returned all piping and cover to original spot and tested the new sump pump; all while in a small space which was another plus because I was worried about other pipes getting bumped or breaking during the repair. Obviously, M. Brown did a great job in maneuvering the small space so that is why this is a plus. Total work was $405 at ~1.5-2 hours. Upon finishing, a quick pressure check indicated that our water pressure reducing valve was broken and manual check measured ~100 PSI. So I accepted M. Brown's recommendation to replace the pressure reducing valve if it was today. While M. Browns did not have all the parts, he improvised and got the valve from local Home Depot and added a brass fitting where a water pressure test gauge can be installed which did not exist before. Total work for this was $375 at ~1.5 hours. M. Brown's no pressure explanations+recommendations, work efficiency, professionalism, availability on Sunday all worked to what I needed and was looking for. Given LE Brown's highly rated local track record with a VA customer base, I would likely use LE Brown's services again."

"Jimmy Gusky HVAC is truly as good as it gets. One of our AC units went down and through the warranty company found our way to Jimmy Gusky himself. Although out of their territory, Jimmy was willing to make the extra trip to diagnose the problem. He was very responsive to get our initial service call scheduled and determined the unit needed to be replaced, and we all know these units usually decide to break down only when pushed to the limit in the hottest summer months and we need AC the most. He did the legwork to get the warranty company to honor the recommendation and as you can see from the attached photo put in a much more substantial unit that is doing a fabulous job cooling the home. Add to that he actually had the unit and scheduled the install even before the warranty company approved the swap out. I that isn't one of the greatest examples of outstanding customer service and going above and beyond to exceed expectations, I don't know what is. Big thanks to Jimmy and team for their commitment to excellence!"

"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."

"He came out and did the work. He made a recommendation for a couple repairs which we didn't end up have done because we might get a whole new system. He was courteous, he was clean and he didn't even come in the house without booties on. Very please with them.

I really liked that he had recommendations and didn't push that they could do them right away. One of the recommendations was something my husband could buy a tool and do himself. No up sale.  

They really were terrific, they responded to the call immediately.  Scheduled me within in a short time, they came on time.  It was just an over all positive experience."

"As part of our service plan, we had our plumbing systems inspected. To make sure we were safe in the future, I had the technician drain the water heater and install an alarm in case of flooding or system failure. Everything went well and I highly recommend FH Furr."

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