"I first used this company on an emergency water main break. They were so fast and helpful that I called them first when my old water heater quit. They got a couple of people out in a day. Big water heater, good brand, good warranty, in and out in 2 hours. Nice folks. Happy with them. Would use them again. Highly recommend."

"PB Plumbing did a completer water pipe replacement and installed a new hot water heater. Paul was on time, explained how he would do the project and started right to work. He is a very hard worker and when finished he took away all the debris and cleaned up his work. I would hire him again. Thanks Paul."

"EXCELLENT! It was a somewhat emergency call because my walls were being damaged by the water, and Matt replied right away to my call trying to fit me in. He text back and said one of his guys, Ryan, was available and on his way! Ryan was great! Courteous, professional, punctual (and bonus - he unclogged the bathtub drain!). Thank you for saving the day!"

"Contacted Henco for service of a Noritz On Demand water heater, and a next day appointment was available. Joshua arrived at the scheduled time. He inspected the unit and provided choices and recommendations of what could be done to flush and service so the unit (which was intermittent) would function properly, and the costs involved. He was very patient with my questions, and invited me to observe. Joshua also gave suggestions on proper care and that I should drain the unit during extreme freeze events to prevent damage. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends. Pricing was based on the service performed, rather than an hourly rate. The repair cost was in line with other estimates, which, like everything else, has gone up substantially over the years. based on the excellent and prompt service, I'll certainly call Henco in the future."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Portland, OR

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.
