"Our sixteen year old water heater was leaking gas. My husband called The Water Heater Company who quoted for exactly what repairs were needed. The telephone representative who helped us requested photos of the water heater. He could tell what items were needed to bring the new water heater up to code. We were very pleased that Tony, the water heater installer, was scheduled to come the next day! Tony was punctual, thorough and answered all the questions I had. He explained everything that was done and made suggestions for other improvements we might want to have done. Everyone was very professional and very honest from beginning to end. They also use the very best water heaters with great warranties. Much higher quality than you can get at Home Depot or Lowes. We are very excited to recommend Tony and The Water Heater Company!"

"Did a $59 consult only. Turned out the cost of repairing the old heater was almost as much as a new one, so we got a new one, and handled the install ourselves. Luis B was great, knowledgeable, friendly, didn't try to upcharge just to sell a heater, which we appreciated. Gave us an honest evaluation, several options, and was right on time. I will say, though, that the company failed to call me when he was on his way... not a big deal. All in all a good experience."

"Javet called me right away. It was a small leak that I didn't know where it was leaking from. He was able to come out the next day. He took off the cover plate, and you could see the pan was full of water. The leak was coming from the water heater itself. So the water heater needed to be replaced. The door for the water heater was shorter than the water heater. And only 18 inches wide. Which meant that the water heater had to be just the right size to fit in past the door. He gave me a bid on the replacing the water heater. His bid was way, way better than the other five bids I had got already. So I said lets do it. He went to Home Depot to pick up the water heater I had called Home Depot about they told me the computer shows they have two in stock. He got there and Home Depot can't find one of them. So he called me from Home Depot. They had another Model that was the same size. The price was almost the same. I said ok get it. He came back and installed the hot water heater in a couple of hours. Than it was time to pay him. He rounded the amount down to less (that is right) less than his bid. Wow a Plumber who is honest, punctual, and communicates very well. He will be my first and only call for future Plumbing work!"

"Jose of Smart Choice Plumbing did an excellent job of installing a new water heater. He is professional, knowledgeable, honest and conscientious about his work. He did a thorough job, and cleaned the work area when he was done. He also charges a fair price for his work. I would highly recommend him for any plumbing job."

"Gilbert was easy to deal with, drove some distance to help me THE SAME AFTERNOON, replacied a messy 20 year old water heater and greatly upgraded my hot water system. He did everything to make it codeworthy, came in to deal with the vent in my attic. All this at a lower price than a number of other bids. "

"The job was done quickly. The plumber installed a new garbage disposal, fixed the sink faucet issue another plumber said was unfixable, and repaired a toilet. He was polite, efficient and cleaned up after himself thoroughly."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Goleta, CA

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.
