"Derrick helped me with a kitchen renovation project as well as a bathroom sink repair. The kitchen alone included a complete redesign/install of undersink plumbing, installation of a refrigerator waterline, and repair of a separate bathroom sink drain. He took the time to understand my project, asked great questions, and did everything in a timely, cost effective manner. In addition, once everything was over, Derrick made sure to clean up any dust and debris to make it look as good as new. So few people do that now, and it shows Derrick takes great pride in his work."

"I'm sorry there is no option for more than five stars! Mike Baker /Village Heating is AMAZING!!! I bought a large property with a farmhouse and 3 cabins. Mike installed a mini-split in one of the cabins. à  He helped me choose the best product and explained all the details. The system came in quickly and he did a great install. Then, he repaired the propane heating system in the other cabin. Next, Mike did a BIG install; the farmhouse. Again he helped me to choose the best system and product. He put in eight units! The condensers were meticulously placed, and every wire was beautifully covered so that the outside of the house looked seamless. I could not be on-site, so Mike kept me updated with very detailed reports on the daily progress. He came early, stayed late, and was even there on the weekend so that I could meet with him. No detail, regardless of how small, was overlooked. His prices are excellent, and his supplier is knowledgable and well-stocked. Yesterday, Mike and I went through the two remaining cabins and discussed options for a mini-split system to replace the propane. I will most definitely have him do the next two installs. Since I am new to that part of PA (and Mike is a resident), he was also helpful in recommending other contractors for other jobs on the property; Mike was a valuable resource. I can not rave enough. He is a true professional and a terrific guy. By the end of the project, he was like one of the family!!"

"Installation of our system was top notch and professional. 6 months after installation of my system, the salesman, Scott, immediately responds to any questions or issues that I have. Their service is great and the quality of our water is remarkable. We are very pleased and can't recommend Orbit Water / Puronics highly enough!"

"I knew the pump had to be pulled out of the ground. I knew the two or three things that could be the culprit. I just needed someone to do the job that wouldn’t take advantage of me financially, knew the ins and outs of what had to be done, and would do the task quickly, efficiently, completely, competently, and correctly. It’s not a lot to ask or expect from a professional tradesman. Bob Walter, the owner/operator of Pocono Mountain Plumbing told me when he’d be there and said he’d call when he was on the way. He did just that. I said I’d meet him there as I was running home from my office to let him in. When I pulled up he was already at work on the problem. He wasn’t sitting in his van waiting for me; he wasn’t mulling around or on the phone making other arrangements. He was already doing his job. His truck was already unloaded, his assistant was already setting up and gathering the tools they’d need, and the well was already partially disassembled... and I wasn’t even there yet. After a short introduction (as well as to his helper/nephew, Danny), I unlocked the house, and within five minutes the situation was diagnosed and repairs had begun. Bob didn’t stop explaining what he was doing throughout the entire process. Just from his description of what was happening and his actions as he performed them, he left no question as to his expertise, his thoroughness, what needed to be done, what was required and what was optional/recommended, how long it would take, and what it would cost. He pointed out what had been done incorrectly the last time it was “fixed,” and he remedied those things as he went along in his task. Not a moment was wasted (not the least of which was because it was 25 degrees outside). As a result of the way he works, what I envisioned as potentially a five to six hour job, was completed in under two hours: completely, correctly, and meticulously. Small things that others might have overlooked to cut corners were done (e.g. disinfecting the well, adding extra reinforcements of electrical tape at the joints connecting the pump and along the length of the pipe, etc.). As quickly as they showed up, they were gone - the job analyzed, quoted, performed, cleaned up, and paid for in less time than I thought it would take to just evaluate the situation. If there’s a higher accolade to be paid to a reliable and honest tradesman, I don’t know what it is other than to say that I have rarely had the pleasure of dealing with someone like Bob Walter. His demeanor, expertise, and sincerity are obvious. He is a true professional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call him first and immediately with any plumbing or heating question."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Wilkes Barre, 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.
