"Tim did a great job with the replacement of our water heater. Even though it was the day after Thanksgiving he moved some of his other appointments around to come to our home that afternoon. Tim and his assistant were careful to put on shoe covers in the house and to observe COVID 19 precautions. The job required more complicated plumbing since we have a desuperheater loop from our geothermal heat pump that connects to the water heater; the additional charge for this work was minimal. Tim was here until after 5:00 that evening, with the result that we had hot water over the weekend."

"The water heater in my rental property gave up after "only" 25 years! I almost called Lowe's in New Bern (rental is in Oriental), but they didn't carry Rheems, only Whirlpools and another brand Consumer Reports doesn't rate very highly. After getting several estimates, I chose Scott. They had the 60 gallon model I wanted, came on time the very next day, were quick and professional, and in about two hours I had a new electric water heater w/PEX hookups. They carted away the old, rusted tank, and I now have happy tenants. Thanks, Scott."

"They have always fixed the problems that we've had. Frustrations? Delays? At times. We live in a flawed world. But overall, service has been professional and well done. It has always been worth the monthly fee and deductibles. If you consider that most appliances today only last five years or so, breakdowns are going to be a given. Our most recent repair will require at least two service calls and an $1800 part. That more than pays for our entire year's fees."

"Charles "Cee" and his team did a great installing a drain pipe and connecting the drain pipe to my pool to keep the water away from some other areas that we need to keep dry. He was professional, courteous and got right to work. He said they could get it all done in a single day and I was pleasantly surprised when it took them less than a half day. I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Kinston, NC

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.
