"Tucker came out to install a hot water heater. I called several plumbers and Tucker was the one who didn't try to scare us or try to overcharge us. One company even said we can't give you an estimate. They wanted to come out do the job THEN give me a price. Tucker was professional, came at the time he gave me and had my hot water heater installed and working within 2 hours. I highly recommend using him."

"The outside spigot froze and the line busted Christmas Eve. Jason was down the street taking care of a neighborâ s problem. I saw the van and walked down to ask if he would stop at my house on his way out just to see what could be done to enable having water until a repair could be made. He was kind enough to stop at my house, cap off the line and turn my water back on. He also diagnosed a problem with the water pressure valve that has been ongoing for several years (that others didnâ t figure out). He scheduled a day to repair that and did a fabulous job! He returned a few days later and replaced all the water shut off valves inside my home. He left the areas clean. I feel he treated my home like he would want his treated. I will definitely recommend him to anyone that asks."

"AJ did a great job installing the Tankless Water heater, but also the installation and adjusting all of the circulation system to give us ready hot water at every faucet. I will call him first for anything to do with plumbing."

"Kelly Installations came highly recommended. We?ve had work completed on at least 4 occasions over the past 4 years. Most recently after an accidentally broken an outdoor spigot. Not only was the work done the same day but for a fraction of the cost we would have paid for an ?emergency repair? done by one of the larger companies. Cannot speak highly enough. Kelly Installations is our family?s first call for anything beyond our skill set. "

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Columbia, SC

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.
