"Excellent customer service. Really went above and beyond in all aspects of the job. Corrected multiple issues in my home including replacing kitchen faucet, installation of a new toilet, cleared mini split water leaking, and replaced shower valve. Also had a second person Andrew helping and he was excellent also. They showed up 7:30am on a Sunday came back at 7:30am on Tuesday after picking up all the parts I wanted. If you need a plumber hire this guy"

"They installed a new hot water heater for me back in March. Nine months later, a part failed. Although the water heater was under warranty, Burke told me I would have to pay the labor but the manufacturer would reimburse me. The manufacturer refused and Burke Plumbing and Heating stepped and reimbursed the labor fee of $250.00! They are awesome and I would highly recommend them to anyone!"

"Matthew was great. He came out the day after I called him, on time, and called before he arrived. There was an issue with my Viessmann oil burner and I was able to talk through options with him - he wasn't quick to jump to any conclusion but carefully analyzed the problem and came up with a solution. It means a lot having someone that actually provides knowledgeable, professional advice and even followed up later to make sure everything was running well. I would highly recommend Gearhead Plumbing, Heating & A/C."

"They came to my home showed me what needed to be done and they went and got the water heater. When they came back a short time later they had the tank and installed it in an hour with new pipes and a new shout off that I can do."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in New Bedford, 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.
