"My prior water heater, a 50-gallon tank, started leaking after 15 years. I called Streamline to confirm that it needed replacement, and to replace it. I was considering a tankless water heater already, and the first tech walked me through the pros and cons, then wrote up an estimate. Two additional techs came the next day to install the heater and the necessary gas and power lines. The only issue I had was that one of the newly installed gas fittings leaked gas into the basement. I shut off the supply valve and called Streamline, and they came out within half an hour to fix it at their expense. Mistakes happen, and I was impressed with how professionally they corrected that one."

"My gas pack unit's heater died right after Christmas. Their technician came out and quickly identified and showed me the cause of the issue which was a bad blower motor which would turn on and then shut off after about 3-5 minutes because it was overheating. After pricing the cost to replace the blower motor and since the unit was old and its refrigerant would no longer be legal after Dec 2019 I decided to get a new unit. The salesperson patiently worked with me regarding financing and in a matter of days their installers showed up in the morning with the new unit and had it installed and tested by lunch time. They would have installed it earlier if it wasn't for their office be closed on New Years Day. I was especially impressed by how much effort they took to haul out the old unit, replace the pad and circuit box, cleanup, and then place topsoil around the base of the unit to give it a neat and professional appearance. And after a few weeks the new unit is working great. Overall I found everyone in this company to be friendly, patient, thorough, and professional from their service technician Kenneth, Drew their salesperson, the installers, and the office staff. I will definitely use them in the future for all of my heating and a/c needs. I'm glad their overall A rating here on Angie's list proved to be deserved."

"I was having issues with my gas hot water heater not staying lit. Josh worked hard on the problem all day and tried a number of parts. Unfortunately none of the parts he had worked, calling the manufacturer of my hot water heater he was able to track down the correct part. He was not able to finish the repair that day due to the part being ordered. I was kept up to date by Michelle and she called everyday to update me on the status of the part. Once the part came in Josh came back and installed the new part along with cleaning up the burner and vents. He was able to get it lit and stuck around to make sure it stayed on. He let me know how to keep the area clean so it would stay lit. I just felt like this was great customer service and would call JD Service again for any plumbing or heating issues."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Wake Forest, NC

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.
