"Steve with Maverick Water Heaters came out to my home several times to try and repair my very old (obsolete) tankless water heater. He was very friendly and professional and did everything possible to try and repair the heater before recommending a replacement. Once it was determined that a new heater was needed, he ordered it and then came to my home immediately to do the installation once the heater was available. He completed the job in a timely manner and we were very happy with his service."

"Steve was timely and quick with replacing my water heater and was very responsive when I messaged him. He also provided great suggestions and options for my water heater replacement and streamlined the bayren rebates process for me. Provided services at a very fair price compared to other plumbing services. 10/10 would go to him for future plumbing issues."

"It was a pleasure being able to have Robert come out to help with my family s water heater issues. He was very friendly and is a well experienced plumber (I believe he told me 20 years as a licensed plumber). Response time was excellent, same day service, and the cost of service was more reasonable than any other estimates we received. I would highly recommend Robert and Drain Right to my friends or family, and I will be reaching out for his plumbing services again if I ever encounter any plumbing issues while I m still living in the Bay Area.

Customers say: True professional

"We feel very lucky to have found Francisco. He was incredibly helpful with our initial call and while quoting for us, personable, knowledgeable, and beyond patient with our many questions (even though it was all after hours). His price was the best one of the 4 that we had quote and yet there was nothing "budget" about the project or his service. A quality water heater and a job very well done. He has the years of experience needed to do great work. In addition, he has excellent communication (keeping us updated and informed) and is punctual and professional. Really, everything you hope for when seeking out a plumber or any contractor. We have zero complaints and only praise, very affordable, and have already shared his contact info with family members because we are just that enthusiastic. Sure, they may not need plumbing NOW, but they will some day. Two thumbs WAY up."

"Kenneth Asire Plumbing is the epitome of responsiveness, expertise, and great customer service. Our water heater failed and left my wife and me with no hot water. I used Home Advisor to get estimates, etc. Mr. Asire came out and gave us an estimate the next day. After obtaining two more estimates, we hired KAP, and we've never regretted it. Kenneth is extraordinarily knowledgeable, experienced, professional and courteous. The crew that he dispatched for the new water heater installation was great. The installation crew, Justin and Jerwin, were personable, clearly very experienced and did a marvelous job installing the new water heater and removing the old one. They worked very efficiently - from start to finish the job was completed in under two hours. We are very pleased with all aspects of our experience with Kenneth Asire Plumbing, would hire them again in a heartbeat, and recommend them very highly."

"JPC team did an excellent, professional job on our storm water sump pumps related project. (Two sump pumps were working; they did not need repairs.) 1) Cut and replaced two broken pipes; installed new valves 2) New float sensors installed and set to auto-start the sump pumps 3) long outflow pine, connecting to city's water drainage system, was cleaned using long snake and high pressure water pump combination. 4) successful final test with water filled in water chamber and sump pumps working 5) JPC gave warranty for work done and signed up for once-a-year annual maintenance visit in October."

"SplashFix did a great job with our tankless water heater installation. From the first contact through project close-out, Isaac was professional, thorough, and easy to work with. Scheduling, communication, and project collaboration were easy thanks to the tech platform that SplashFix uses. I highly recommend them for your plumbing needs."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in San Bruno, CA

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.
