"Neo was excellent! My water heater went and a new one was installed by Neo and his team the next day. They were very professional, communicated instantly, and did a fantastic job. Will definitely use S.S Piping n Heat for all of my future plumbing and heating needs. Would recommend this company to anyone!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Our water heat tank leaked. We called two plumbers and one need to wait for a week and the other required scheduling. So we called Floros. He gave us a quote after receiving the photos, and visited us on the same day. The work was done smoothly. He is knowledgeable and is helpful when we asked him about other issues in our unit. We will hire him again."

"Matt called me back promptly with all information I needed to make a decision on new hot water heater. Matt and his colleague Sean arrived early, did work as discussed and cleaned up all areas and left area cleaner than when they arrived. I feel that job done well and I appreciated the honesty in his recommendations and what I needed. Would hire again and recommend to others"

"I was very happy with the quick response I got. Within a few minutes of submitting a request for service, Jeff called. He was professional and accommodating. Our water heater broke and needed to be fixed before going away for the weekend. He was at my house the next morning and replaced the water heater in a few hours. J. Griffin employees are nice, respectful and explained what they did. I would highly recommend J. Griffin."

"We lost our boiler - and all heat – just one day before a major snowstorm was forecasted to hit. I reached out to Chris from Chris Vaccarello Plumbing to see if there was any chance he could fix our existing boiler before the storm arrived. After thoroughly assessing the condition and issues with the old system, Chris explained the problems clearly and offered to install a brand new heating system the very next day. True to his word, Chris and his team arrived promptly at 7 AM on the day of the storm. They worked tirelessly and with incredible dedication straight into the night, just to make sure we had heat during the worst of the storm. Their commitment, teamwork, and professionalism was truly impressive. I would absolutely hire Chris again and highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need of plumbing or heating services. Their reliability and work ethic are second and none."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Melrose, MA

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.
