"Replaced a tank water heater, the door was too narrow so first pitched removing framing with no guarantee that it’d be replaced correctly. I suggested using a smaller sized unit based on a quote from another plumber which is the route we went. They also covered the overage for the additional cost of the smaller sized unit which was nice but if I wasn’t aware of the option I’m not sure what I would have done. They also only sent one person initially so I helped bring the old unit down and the new one up in between trying to work. Also the breaker to the hot water heater was never flipped back so I’m waiting to see how the unit performs now."

"The Sila technician spent as much time as necessary to diagnose the problem with my furnace. He explained his findings every step of the way. Communication from the company regarding service visits and arrival of parts from their distributor was excellent. The cost of the repair was reasonable. Overall, I was very impressed by Sila and would definitely use them again."

"We had a standard water tank that failed on Friday July 1. I reached out to Matt with water issues from the tank, but more importantly- to find out options for a replacement. He convinced me to go with a popular and reliable tankless system. I called him at 7:40am, the parts were delivered at 11am and Matt came by at 1pm. By 3:30pm, our new system was operational. Going into a holiday weekend - that was fantastic service!"

"I had Michael LeBlanc come over to see if my water heater was serviceable. Unfortunately, it had to be replaced. I was very happy with the quick response time and him scheduling in the replacement service right away. I now have hot water again, and recommend MTL based on this experience."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Shelton, CT

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.
