"Definitely will be my go-to guy for any future plumbing projects/repairs! Initially tried to use one of the more established plumbing businesses in the area from a neighbor’s suggestion, but they acted like they didn’t want to do it. Not long after I put the word out on Angi that I needed help, Mr. Renfroe was giving me a call saying he could take care of it. He came out the next day and was able to handle it with ease and did a great job. He’s very reasonable with pricing as well, so you don’t have to worry if you’re getting a good deal or not, because you more than likely are. Highly recommend."

"I called Ben Franklin at noon on Saturday, and scheduled me for service first thing Sunday morning, but put me on a list if a repairman was available later on Saturday. At 4pm on Saturday I received a call that a repairman (Michael) could come. He arrived in ten minutes. Took a look at the water heater, and after several attempts was able to get the pilot light on. He let it run for about 15 minutes, and then turned it off and on a couple of more times to ensure that it was working properly. Michael was courteous and very informative. We discussed draining the water heater, and the possibility of a water softener. I could not have been more pleased with his work."

"We used them several times from 2006 to about a year ago. the problem was that they were inconsistent. the first guy was knowledgable and helpful and found the problem, but it turned out there was more than one problem, so the tub was still leaking. The second guy was useless and just shrugged. I called and spoke to the owner and he was helpful and responsive and sent out a third guy who was very helpful and went out of his way to find the problem and fix the leak. flash forward a few years, same tub is leaking again.  the guy they send (4th) just shrugs and doesn't even try to find the problem. I had to do his work for him and make it leak. then they wanted to charge me 100 dollars just to calk the fixtures. I said no thanks and caulked them myself. I decided at that point they'd had a few chances and I wouldn't use them again. I never know if I'll get a knowledgeable guy or not.
I don't remember the exact dates, the last visit was over a year ago.

"I specified that it was a tankless water heater, yet not surprisingly I was referred to a plumber who didn't know anything about tankless heaters, resulting in a waste of a couple of days. The second person did know about them, and so far the repair is working (fingers crossed). I wish CHW would pay attention to the details in my claim."

"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."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Tuscaloosa, AL

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.
