"Rob had recently replaced my kitchen and bathroom faucets and I called him to see if he could now replace my gas water heater. I was happily surprised when he said he’d be out within a couple of days and I was REALLY pleased with his estimate. For both jobs, Rob showed up when he said would and was both fast and efficient. He’s a great guy - dependable, reasonable, professional and focused on providing good service to his customers. Rob is my “go to” plumber from now on!"

"In January, Jeff came to service my boiler, which had been shutting off randomly and required several resets. He broke the bad news that the boiler would need to be replaced relatively soon, but understood my need to plan for it and was helpful in providing information without "mansplaining." He talked through options and answered questions. When I was ready, I didn't hesitate to go with Jeff and crew for the replacement job. The quote was fair and I trusted him and his team to do right by me for such a big investment in my home. The system that was installed is practically a work of art! They even tucked the new water heater around the corner from the original spot, creating more space in the main walkway area of the basement. They were communicative, prompt and cleaned up after themselves. It's been 3 months and the new system seems to be working beautifully. Looking forward to seeing how it performs and saves on heating costs during the colder months. I'll keep calling Griffin Heating & Plumbing for all of my needs."

"Sila Heating and Air Conditioning is the only service I found that can service my Buderus oil burner. John was the tech this time and he did an excellent job of taking care of the burner and then explaining the problem that arose with my chimney liner. Since I didn't have heat or hot water until the liner was fixed, I had to use a company I didn't know as an emergency repair. I was able to speak with their tech using the information provided by John and therefore felt comfortable with the costly repair. John even came back after his last call to turn the burner back on. I have the warranty on my burner so I pay a discounted price and have the coverage if I need it."

"Water heater ruptured just before I had to leave for work and only a week after moving in. Calling around for pricing to make sure we didn't bust our budget I spoke to Mandy and had told her I needed to get back to her after a couple more calls. Bill overheard our conversation and called me back personally to discuss. He also texted me offering to answer any questions I had. Price was right in our budget and lower than anyone else. Bill came out that day himself to install the new water heater. He was super nice and extremely helpful in answering questions about different options for the new install to make sure we got the set up that would work best for us. I elected to have him service our steam boiler while he was there so we would be ready for the winter. He took the time to walk me through proper care and operation of the system as we had never had steam heat before. Very happy with his work and will not hesitate to contact again for any plumbing work we might need done in the future."

"I have had Spencer Home Services work on my house before and they were recently here again on an unrelated issue. Rich came out and solved the problem like any good plumber would. The difference is Rich’s attitude, respectful of our needs and time was outstanding. As a homeowner it’s great to know you can trust your repairman to do a good job."

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