"Jeff was fantastic. Timely, helpful and affordable. While replacing my heater we ran into a leak and lots of dirt behind the water heater. Jeff insisted that the area be cleaned and gave me options on how to repair the leak without pressuring me into using his products or services. Water Heaters in a Hurry is a dream!"
Here we can see the original heater with the seized water shut off valve

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.

"We hired Old Skool to remove and replace my fathers' heater and oil tank. I live in Georgia, and Dad in Delaware Count, so truthful communication was a necessity, yet rarely found n contractors. Frank and his crew are exceptional! From the first contact through to the end of the heating system install either Frank or one of his crew kept me informed of the progress via phone and photos, I knew the status of the job at all times. His crew arrived on time, ready to work.. and work they did! At the end of the work day you would not know they were there; they cleaned up so well after themselves. The metal and plumbing workmanship is something not normally seen these days- nor is the business and work ethics exhibited by Old Skool..With out hesitation I enthusiastically recommend Frank and his crew, and will call them first in the future. Thanks Frank, Francis, Dave and the entire crew."

"Crew members Trong Chau, Tan Pham did an excellent job for the installation - prompt, professional, and thorough. Staff Dante Zappala professionally measured and sized the system. Unique Indoor Comfort staff were very slow in providing warranty papers for the extended warranty of the Rheem Water Heater - it took a month to get the proper sticker to validate the warranty - and made it seem like a problem. We hope that they respect the warranties for the A/C and Furnace through Carrier."

"Great service. They were timely in returning my call. After I explained my problem, they were there the next day to inspect my clogged basement sink. They found the spot after checking the flow of water in several places. They flushed the pipes and the water drained quickly. They even gave me tips to keep debris from clogging the drain again. And the price quoted was the price I paid. They were respectful to COVID19 as they wore masks and shoe covering. I am well pleased with their service and will use them again."

"After looking at what was suppose to be done, and the entire job was evaluated, I was told I would be better off in getting a complete new water heater, and not put new parts in an 8 year old water heater, for once I felt like I was not ripped off, and given the best advice, and that is what I will do."

"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."

"Quick response on a Sunday after my hot water heater failed, with ValDel able to supply the brand of water heater I was looking for. No one likes putting out the kind of money that this type of emergency repair requires, but I was able to negotiate significantly down to almost match a verbal quote that I had received earlier in the day. Jason was an excellent technician, very courteous, and completed the job quickly. I would definitely use ValDel (and Jason) for future needs."

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.
