"I used them to remove a tank water heater, install a tankless heater, and perform a few miscellanies repairs around the house. Andy was super knowledgeable and delivered great quality. The estimate trip out was free. For the work, they came in a little higher than some other quotes, but it was worth it to not worry about customer service, quality, or expertise. I definitely recommend them."

"Excellent communication via text and email so you know exactly when your service technician will arrive. Tommy and Duncan were very polite and professional. They looked over the main water shutoff valve that I wanted to replace and then explained what they were going to do and how much it would cost. Completed the work promptly and cleaned up the work site before leaving. I would highly recommend DB's Plumbing and Drain!!"

Their prompt response, expert repairs, dedication to quality, and fair pricing were truly impressive. For reliable and top-tier HVAC services, Moises is a standout choice. I highly recommend Tyler, Moises, and the entire team at SwiftPro for all your commercial or residential HVAC needs!"

"I had to replace a water heater quickly. Gave me a competitive quote with a water heater with desirable specs within a day and scheduled me the day after. Technician was knowledgeable and efficiently performed the work. Water heater performs just fine. Cleaned up workspace and took a few mins to walk through water heater and maintenance after."

"We called DoneRite after the water heater replacement company fiddled with the Town’s water supply end and somehow caused a blockage that shut off water supply coming into our house. Willis and his assistant arrived promptly and were confident in their assessment of the situation and their proposed solution. They were courteous in their interactions and also said that if their solution did not work then they would not charge us. The Town had informed us the previous day that they should be contacted first to come and shut off the Town end of the supply for any repair work. Willis was respectful of this request from us and waited patiently for half an hour for the Town to send their people. Willis suggested a replacement for our main water valve (which was very old and stuck), and also got our water supply back quickly. They also ensured that they had our new water heater turned on and running before leaving. We will not hesitate to contact Willis for any of our plumbing needs."

"Several weeks ago, I lost all power in a home I'm selling and needed urgent electrical help. After contacting a few companies with long wait times, I called John C. Flood. They scheduled an appointment for the next day at 10 AM and confirmed via text. On the day of the appointment, I received a call at 9:15 AM that the technician, Andy, was on his way. He arrived promptly and diagnosed the problemâ a power surge that fried the breaker boxâ within 10 minutes. Andy returned a few days later to replace the breaker box, completing the job in about 4-5 hours. Andy was professional, polite, and very experienced. He explained the issue and repair process thoroughly, and the price seemed reasonable. Iâ m very happy with the work done and would highly recommend John C. Flood for anyone needing electrical repairs."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Sterling, VA

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.
