"Arturo and James was great. AMC plumbing that asked for pictures and didn't try to charge us to troubleshoot. We eventually settled on changing the water heater but we were informed at every step what is happening. Thanks for being to take all our questions and told us how to take care of the new water heater. Excellent!"

"We had a hot spot on the floor and a high gas bill last month leading us to suspect a slab leak. We called several plumbing services and Personal Plumbing was able to come out the next day with their own slab leak tech. The techs were on time and took about three hours to find the leak and reroute and place pipe to repair. They were able to avoid more holes in the drywall by placing the pipe on the exterior garage side, extending us savings. They also showed great integrity by letting us know that any repair would also have to replace factory pressure valve that was no longer working (putting pressure on our system). We will definitely keep them in mind for any other plumbing work we need done!"

"Very long. 3+ hours. Suppose to be routine servicing. Turned out to be just diagnostic. Long list of things to repair. Had another company review and a lot less repairs recommended. I felt like it was a come on to make sales."

"Excellent service. Ray called ahead of appointment to confirm model requirements. He found that a leak was starting. I trust his judgment. I have used Vista plumbing for 20 years for toilet replacement to water heaters and I am always satisfied."

"Excellent plumber. He’s exactly the kind of plumber you hope to find who is knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely easy to work with. I had a shower cartridge issue that another company (you can find which one in my other reviews) tried to turn into a major, $1500 expensive repair. Long took one look at it, explained clearly what was going on, and never once tried to upsell or overcomplicate things. He told me there was no reason that company should have tried to upsell me like that for a simple job. He was upfront, calm, and confident in a way that immediately put me at ease. What really stood out was how straightforward and practical he was. He handled what was described to me as a “difficult” job with no drama, fixed it efficiently, double-checked everything, and made sure there were no leaks before leaving. He even took care of a second shower while he was there, all for a price that was well, well below what others were quoting. Beyond the technical work, you get the sense that L"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in La Jolla, 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.
