"Outstanding! Had multiple issues with an aged HVAC system. We didn't have cooling or heating. HPC Services responded promptly, diagnosed the problems and expertly repaired the issues while explaining exactly what happened and how to maintain the system moving forward. Great coordination and teamwork from their entire team. We would not hesitate to use this company again!"

"Jerry's Plumbing & Heating (Jerry's) was the assigned plumbing contractor in a home warranty plan that I've had for years.  I've used Jerry's in the past for small repairs but nothing of this magnitude or complexity.
Over the weekend of December 13-14, I suspected that my well pump had failed (no water) and made the necessary phone contacts.  Jerry's representatives were at the house Monday, December 15, in the mid-afternoon.  After they confirmed that the pump had indeed failed, they explained what they needed to do and we subsequently agreed to contract terms.  Jerry's people then returned to their shop to get the necessary repair parts. Once they had the parts, the on-site job supervisor, Doug LNU, said we'd have water before they left that evening.  Jerry's people got started late Monday afternoon and worked until nearly 12:00 midnight the same day.  As Doug had earlier represented, "we had water before they left."
When I was younger, I worked in a construction trade.  In the intervening years, my wife and I have owned a no. of homes.  Without reservation, I can say that I've seen few companies or their people work as hard or diligently the way these guys did either making repairs e.g., replacing a roof or installing an HVAC system.  Based on the experience that I had with Jerry's, I would recommend them w/o reservation.

"We had a pipe burst early in the evening during one of the severe cold snap and called several plumbers.  We were told it would take anywhere from 1 to 4 days before anyone could get to us.  Constantly Running said it would probably be the next morning, but if they could get here sooner they would.  45 minutes later, one of their plumbers called.  He came out and promptly did the work.  The next week, their dry wall person came out and repaired the ceiling.  They were very prompt, professional, and courteous.  I felt they were very reasonably priced, as well.

"The cost was $1050, they were willing to work with me on the price, which was great. They replaced the old water heater with a new one. About 10 months later that same water heater had a leak and caused water damage to my basement. I called them back out and they told me another part that connected to the water heater needed to be replaced. It cost me $280 to have that part replaced. I don't know much about plumbing or if the second call for service was their fault or not from a bad initial installation. So you be the judge."

"We needed a filter removed from our system in order to replace or repair a broken washer/dryer unit. Kelly was able to come out within 24 hours of contact and performed the work at very close to the estimate that was given sight-unseen. They were early, worked efficiently and completely cleaned up before departing. Will definitely have them out to quote on some larger projects around the house."

"First, Ira did a whole house inspection, and provided us with extensive education and recommendations to make our plumbing most efficient and our water safe. He presented all our options, many of them minor cost or free, even taking care of some of it while he was there. Our house has unique limitations, and he figured out solutions customized for us.
He wrote up all the recommendations, with no sales pressure at all. We opted to move forward on two items, repair of air conditioner condensation filter and piping, and to add a water filter and faucet to our kitchen which we wanted for our drinking water anyway.
Ira arrive on time for both appointments, calling to confirm on the way. Great communication. He did not rush through the job, on the contrary, he took the time to explain everything to us. The work was done well, and Ira was highly professional. I'd recommend Pipes and Pumps to anyone.

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Scotland, MD

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.
