"I was out of state and had an emergency on a rental property on a week-end (I needed to replace a water-heater). I called Howard from Affordable Drain Cleaning & More, then we continued communicating through text messages and emails. I purchased the water-heater online around 1PM, he picked it up at the store around 2PM and installed it soon after in the apartment. Within 3 hours everything was completed very professionally and my tenant was very pleased. Great communication and great service. I highly recommend this company and I will use it again when I need something done in my rental properties."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

We came home one evening to find water dripping through my bathroom ceiling.  My hot water heater was leaking and we went ahead and ordered a new one.  The water heater was on the far side of the attic, very difficult to get to.  When Mike of RotoRooter arrived, he went into the attic and carefully made his way across the attic on the beams.  He checked out the water heater and found that the line had sprung a leak.  He also checked out the water heater itself and found that there was nothing wrong with it and said that it was turning on and off and that the only thing that needed to be done was to fix the line.  He changed out both the hot and cold water lines to be on the safe side.  So far, so good.  Good communication about what he found with the water heater and gave me options as far as changing out the entire water heater or just the lines.  Would use again.

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Sunset, LA

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.
