"I used them to remove a tank water heater, install a tankless heater, and perform a few miscellanies repairs around the house. Andy was super knowledgeable and delivered great quality. The estimate trip out was free. For the work, they came in a little higher than some other quotes, but it was worth it to not worry about customer service, quality, or expertise. I definitely recommend them."

"This is the 2nd or 3rd time that we used Jimmy and couldn't have been more pleased. My house felt like a sauna and we were desperate for Jimmy to come over. He was extremely busy however he found time to stop by. We were told that we needed a new unit and by 3:30 the following day, we had a new unit installed. Can't get better service than that!!!"

"Excellent - within 15 minutes of initial call at 8:30 on Sunday morning, I had an estimate. By 1:00pm the work was done and everything was back to normal. Clean and professional. They placed drop cloths and took great care of our home. They cleaned up completely after the job was done. The price was a bit higher than I was expecting, but I was willing to pay a bit more to have the work done promptly on Sunday, rather than waiting until sometime Monday for another contractor. The Job was a replacement of a 75 gallon Natural Gas Water Heater, including removal and disposal of the old unit."

"Update: 7/1/2021 - I had Neighborhood Specialists come out and replace/upgrade two furnaces, two AC units, water heater, and air filtration system in our new home. Once again, stellar service! Neighborhood Specialists have been my go-to for many years now. Everything from AC repairs on my old AC unit, whole house humidifier install, to replacing the AC and Furnace completely. Dependable, on-time, professional, honest, and a great value. I have recommended them to many neighbors and friends. You will not be disappointed!"

"Thank you so much for excellent service. Osman was prompt, professional, and clearly explained what needed to be done. I called Saturday morning, by early afternoon the problem was fixed. I trust all my plumbing needs to ARS and Rescue Rooter. This isn't the first time I used ARS, ARS replaced by water heater."

"Matt and his crew were on time, professional and on time. We first called a big name company that you may see on the back of a truck. Well that company quoted us $10,000-$15,000 for less work; at that point it was ONLY the furnace. I called Matt for a second opinion. Obviously, he quoted me for half the price of the back of the truck company WITH the water heater added in. Total work done: replaced furnace and outside unit, replaced water heater, installed water pump, installed 2 EcoBee thermostats. The big name company was ONLY doing the furnace and outside unit. We will call Matt for our future needs."

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