"Great! Jeff was polite while carefully explaining the process of replacing the hot water heater. He also recommended installing a water pressure regulator which most likely would have prevented the previous water heater from failing. Price was reasonable and response time was quick."
Here we can see the original heater with the seized water shut off valve
Old Water Heater
From this angle you can see how the previous installer used iron gas line for water (again will rust and clog)
Here we can see the completed project, notice the new water heater, new water shut off valve and new copper piping from the water heater and replacing the gas line somone used as a water line from the previous install.

"Found this company on Angie's List and am I happy we called them. We had been using another company and has a service contract with them, but they were always too busy to do anything. We called DiBiase in the morning and a technician was at our house in the afternoon exactly on time. The technician (Chris) was extremely professional, very thorough in explaining why things weren't working and provided us a few options. We chose to repair the unit as opposed to replace it. Chris ordered the parts and was back on site as soon as the parts arrived. The price charged was exactly what was quoted, the service was completed promptly, system tested, Chris explained everything he did and the unit is working perfectly! I highly recommend this company, we have since signed a service agreement with them that includes 2 a year tune-ups for both or our systems. Great company to deal with, professional, courteous, prompt at returning calls and very thorough!"

"Sales rep measured rooms and windows to perform a load cal'n. Proposed a quality Carrier system at a reasonable price. The installation took a little longer than expected due to use of an inexperienced helper, but eventually it appeared to be a quality installation. They met my requests for minor modifications/enhancements to allow easier maintenance. Workers wore masks at all times, used drop cloths along walking paths and shoe covers, so the job was kept clean. Took time to explain system, installation and maintenance points. Were honest about risk of condensate pipe freeze-up and potential remedies, and "orphaned" water heater. Overall, quite satisfied with the equipment and installation. Awaiting finalization of punch list paperwork items."

"It was freezing and snowing . Mr Greg and his team stayed late into the night to replace my water pipe and they were so professional, friendly and kind. Everything was cleaned up when they left. I would recommend this team when work like this is needed."

"Got an estimate for new water heater and installed the same day. Billy and his apprentice were professional and did a great job. The price was very good and I feel they really wanted to make sure we were happy with them. Would use again- thank you!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Upper Darby, PA

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.
