"I’ve used Anthony Heating & Plumbing for close to 8 years. They’ve replaced heating/A/C and water heater. They also have done some plumbing, fixed a sump pump issue, installed new PVC pipes for better flow and do annual general maintenance on my A/C and heater. They are punctual, friendly and clean. A few of my neighbors began using them."

"After our water heater was spraying water into the basement. Erick from Arcadia arrived quickly, gave us a fair estimate and was at work that same day with a friendly crew. While they were working they found some corroded pipes that were in bed shape and they added that work on to what they were doing that day, and had everything finished by midafternoon. I was pleased with the work, pleased with the price, and pleased with the friendly service. Erick is a super nice guy! And his team was great. They are a contractor service so they do all types of jobs. I’ll definitely be using them again!"

"Corum Plumbing Heating & Cooling in Lee's Summit, MO, is known for reliable 24/7 service and expert plumbing repairs. Aaron Houseman, the technician who handled my Saturday emergency, was professional and knowledgeable. He arrived promptly, quickly diagnosed the leak under my bathroom cabinet, replaced both water valves and supply lines, and installed a new faucet I had purchased. He explained every step and provided a clear quote before beginning work. The job was completed efficiently and expertly, and the new faucet looks and functions perfectly. Aaron made sure everything worked correctly before leaving, which gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Aaron Houseman and Corum Plumbing for their courtesy, expertise, and thorough work. The company truly stands out for dependable emergency response and pride in craftsmanship. Fantastic service from start to finish—stress-free and trustworthy. I would definitely use them again."

"I found Polestar on Angi's list. They contacted me quickly and a supervisor was at our house within 15 minutes with a free estimate. AND within 2 hours, Polestar was able to replace our hot water heater. When they arrived, two of the workers found that our floor drain was clogged. Within 10 minutes, 3 additional workers came with the equipment needed to unclog our drain. And in 30 minutes, the new hot water heater was installed! This is a family-owned 3rd generation professional company that gave us top quality service, reasonably priced hot water heater, and helped make sure we didn't have any other issues. I originally contacted Anthony plumbing. They were way overpriced and were going to charge us $278 for lighting our pilot light. I highly recommend Polestar Plumbing. We will be using them for all our plumbing, heating and air condition needs!"

"We recently purchased a foreclosure which had an 18 YO electric water heater. I decided we should replace that sooner rather than later. There are several new options such as tankless and heat pump models. I have typically chosen gas water heaters in the past for efficiency and quick recovery. Since the house never had a gas water heater, I would have to go high efficiency in order to use PVC out the side of the house for supply and exhaust. Through all my research, I settled on a gas tankless. I put out bids on HomeAdvisor and Angie's List and one of those that reached out was Zack at Mac Wilson Plumbing. Zack sounded knowledgeable, he answered my questions, and his prices seemed fair. Zack recommended a Navien tankless which seemed like a good product, so we went forward. I had to have the gas company upgrade the gas meter and run an electric outlet to where the tankless would reside prior to installation. Zack had our new water heater installed just prior to our move in. He had to order a stand for the new water heater and had to make a couple trips to work everything out, but he did not complain. He routed the supply and exhaust PVC piping smartly. They also brought the plumbing up to code by adding an expansion tank and pressure regulator. They also replaced the leaking globe valves with newer ball valve. Furthermore, they put in quick disconnects for the existing water softener with shut off valves so I can easily replace it down the road. He also installed new ball valve for our new whole house steam humidifier that the HVAC company would not do. They were quick and efficient and did excellent work. They also went the extra mile and ran a PVC drain for my water softener and tied it into the HVAC drain. My plumbing now looks modern and clean. Lastly, Zack added a gas line for a gas dryer and gas cooktop at a later time as he is a busy guy and Covid messed with his staffing during our project. I felt his reasonable prices for the great work he did worth the wait. On a personal note, Zack had a key to our home so he could let himself in and I managed to lock us out of our home one night early on. I called Zack in desperation and he promptly came over and let us in, not expecting anything in return. That speaks volumes about who this man is. The Navien tankless water heater is excellent, and I highly recommend them if you are building a new home or upgrading your existing hot water tank. I can run multiple showers simultaneously, back to back, and never run out of hot water. I would highly recommend Zack and Mac Wilson Plumbing due to their excellent work and fair prices. Zack is proficient in his trade, honest, and a man of integrity which is hard to find in the residential building trades these days. I have my plumber and plan to use him for future projects and/or plumbing problems."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Independence, MO

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.
