"All Good Plumbing is a superb business. I got immediate response from Brian, the owner. He came to my house on a Saturday to see my issue. When I decided to have him do my replacement and repair his team came within 2 days and replaced my water heater. All in all, they are quick to respond, efficient and professional."

"During the extensive inspection and water heater flush, the technician (Kieth) identified a vast number of issues with my water heater that we were not aware of. It would be easy to think that he was trying to sell me extra services, except that he took to time to clearly explain all of the things as they were, and how they should be, and clearly pointed out all of the areas that our water heater was falling behind in. Many of the things he showed us explained some of the challenges that we were experiencing which caused us to order the service in the first place. Despite our 20 year old water heater still functioning, it was clear that we needed to replace it before something catastrophic happened.
We were able to go over our options and schedule the install of the new water heater the very next day. The new water heater with all the services, extended warranties and parts, cost us around $1,200. Although this was an unexpected cost, the performance and function of our new water heater is well worth it. Kieth was very professional and very friendly. He even installed our new garbage disposal during this same service. Benjamin Franklin might be pricey (I have no good frame of reference), but the service from Kieth was outstanding.

"When trying to get a new water heater installed in my house, I was initially nervous about hiring. When the guys showed up to the job, they asked me thoroughly what I wanted out of their services. We talked about a few different options, the price for each option, and which would be the easiest to hardest. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly, and any nerves I had about the job were gone. Within a week of my decision, the guys were at my house and finishing the job. When it came to professionalism, knowledge, and general zealousness to do a great job is sufficient time, I wouldn't recommend anybody but F.B. plumbing."

"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."

10 years experience half in service and repair work and the other half building commercial buildings or doing commercial tenant improvements. I hold Pro-Pex certification and Counterstrike Trac-Pipe(flexible Gas Pipe) certification while working in the area for over 20 years. I went to Granite Bay high school and have built great relationships with customers and suppliers over those years. I hold multiple commercial purchasing accounts with suppliers to enable me to purchase materials at the lowest Price and Best Quality. My company works locally and remains completely honest and straightforward so you get the best install and equipment at the lowest cost.

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Tahoe City, 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.
