"Mike responded to my request immediately, set up an appointment to look at my job and give an estimate right away, and then completed the work in 4 days. Within 8 days of my call my new water heater was installed. The contract was clearly set out, and the work was very professionally completed exactly as per the bid. Mike was very friendly and easy to work with. He left the work area clean when he left. I highly recommend Mike and Jax Mechanical."

"I obtained several quotes for replacing or repairing an old furnace and a/c condenser unit.  Each provider had a slightly different opinion on how much of the system should be replaced and what capacity unit should be used. Carini's prices were in line with other providers, but Kurt, who gave the estimate, seems the most knowledgable.  He did appropriate follow up after the install.  Would use them again. "

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"Art Campos and his team replaced a gas water heater at our home. During the bidding process he was very responsive, answered all my question and submitted a very competitive bid in a timely manner. They arrived on time for the work and completed it in a timely manner, Their workmanship was excellent and they maintained a neat workspace and cleaned up thoroughly when they were finished. I strongly recommend Art Campos and AMC plumbing."

"I was very frustrated looking for an electrician when mine retired. I actually made appointments with 3 different electricians and none of them followed through. Out of desperation, I tried Angie's List. They sent me five companies, I sent a request for a quote at the same time to all five. Within 5 minutes I got a call from Pt Loma Electric.....VERY IMPRESSIVE. Even more impressive they could send me an electrician first thing the next morning...this call was around 6 pm. I immediately scheduled an appointment and when the other electrical companies called I told them I already had someone. This morning I was blessed with Mike Murphy, your electrician. He is incredibly professional, nicely dressed and cleaned up everything as he was doing the work. I had multiple outlets replaced, a light fixture installed and a circuit in my breaker box replaced. I would highly recommend him for any job...he knows what he is doing. Kudos to your entire team, from the design of the Angie's List quick response to the wonderful woman who called me and Mike Murphy. Sooooo smooth!!! Lastly I am a Real Estate Broker and I often hire an electrician to do work on my clients homes that they are buying or selling. I have found my company....Pt Loma Electric...."

"Very long. 3+ hours. Suppose to be routine servicing. Turned out to be just diagnostic. Long list of things to repair. Had another company review and a lot less repairs recommended. I felt like it was a come on to make sales."

"Excellent plumber. He’s exactly the kind of plumber you hope to find who is knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely easy to work with. I had a shower cartridge issue that another company (you can find which one in my other reviews) tried to turn into a major, $1500 expensive repair. Long took one look at it, explained clearly what was going on, and never once tried to upsell or overcomplicate things. He told me there was no reason that company should have tried to upsell me like that for a simple job. He was upfront, calm, and confident in a way that immediately put me at ease. What really stood out was how straightforward and practical he was. He handled what was described to me as a “difficult” job with no drama, fixed it efficiently, double-checked everything, and made sure there were no leaks before leaving. He even took care of a second shower while he was there, all for a price that was well, well below what others were quoting. Beyond the technical work, you get the sense that L"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in San Diego, 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.
