"My experience with Roto Rooter was first rate. I posted my problem on HomeAdvisor and they contacted me promptly and gave me a couple options - repair or replacement of my water heater. I chose to replace it and Jim was able to locate a good replacement for me and get me scheduled the next day. The Plumbers arrived promptly and had my water heater replaced in about an hour. Even cleaned up well. Thanks Roto-Rooter."

"It went great. I first noticed the problem when I went to take a shower the Thursday night before the Memorial day weekend. I had to work the next day and ICE COLD shower awaited me! So after I suffered through hypothermia ... The next morning I contacted a company via their website about my problem but the website and quot;request for serviceand quot; page was not working. Then I did a quick search to see who else in the area might be able to help me. I noticed Golden Rule was close to my house and put in a request for service on their website just like the first company. Within an hour I has a call back and a service technician at my house within 4 hours, and this apparently is not rush service, if they are available they come, even on weekends or holidays and it's not extra $$$. Also, I was at work the day after the hot water heater stopped working they gave me a window between 12 and 4pm they could be there but said they would give me a 30 minute courtesy call, which was perfect because it takes me about that long to get home from work. Made arrangements at work, got the call, headed home. Technician arrived shortly after greeted me friendly and looked me straight in the eyes asked me about the problem, wrote stuff down, put on some shoe covers to protect my house against dirt from his shoes and asked me to show him the water heater.
I took him to the heater and he looked at it, looked at the manual, made some phone calls, watched it got through a cycle of trying to light but not lighting the pilot light. I asked him some questions about what he thought was going on, I'd already sort of explored what might be happening/ not happening. We answered all my questions, gave me some options what he thought was going on, quoted some estimate prices and estimated times for repair. I also have a cat that is very and quot;personableand quot; and she came down to see the technician. I offered to put her away but he said it was fine she stayed and he even patted her and he acted like it was no big deal. Then he went to his car to make some calls to find the part I needed, then went and got it across town. He returned, replaced the part and it started working. I had hot water by the evening :) It took about 3.5 hours in total. This was same day service! I was very impressed at their professionalism, quality, friendliness of the technician! I would highly recommend!

"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."

"They did a nice job replacing my leaking water heater, but really dropped the ball on my pro-rated warranty. My old water heater was only 3 years old (also installed by Goering Plumbing) and I was told to expect a 50% credit. I have called repeatedly over the last 6 months to no avail and they will not return my calls. The one time I got a live person, he said he thought my check just came in and he would drop it in the mail tomorrow. I am still pursuing this issue but it is clear they do not want to communicate with me on this."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in New-Virginia, IA

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.
