"I was looking to possibly replace my water heater. It is old but functions fine and I have no problems. After talking with Water Heater Now rep he told me that since I have a well it might be better to leave my current functioning water heater. He explained that while they offer excellent warranty I am better off with an older model if I don't have any problems. While I decided I will keep my water heater until it shows a problem I will definitely call Water Heater Now when I need a new water heater."

"Chuck, the owner, is GREAT! He is very friendly and helpful and is willing to explain everything at a level anyone could understand. He makes you feel cared for as well as does a great job. They also installed a water softener previously and were the lowest price for a good quality product that I could find. I have referred them now several times.

"We originally hired Randy’s in 2019 to perform an unexpected and very costly whole house rewire project to replace aluminum wire in a house we had recently purchased. Over the course of two weeks Jerakiah, our assigned electrician, and his team from Randy’s turned what could have been a tedious nightmare into a painless customer service experience. Since that time we have had to have Randy’s out a couple of time for follow-up warranty work and their responsiveness was speedy, the encounters were painless, and their attention to detail was impeccable. Tom, the project manager during our most recent encounter, was true to his word. He was attentive and responsive to our concerns, and performed above and beyond the call of duty representing our needs and interests with their vendors. Jerakiah and crew were, once again, excellent in their competence and pleasant manner. Overall, their service after the sale has been stellar. Randy’s Electric is not inexpensive but you will get the value, peace of mind, and responsiveness many contractors tout, but few actually deliver these days. Randy’s does all that and more. As such, we would not hesitate use Randy’s Electric in the future, or recommend them to anyone in need of a first class electrical contractor."

"Installation of a new natural gas water heater was done in about 3 hours. He had to come up with a way to have the water heater raised as it sits on a drain pad and the flat surface of the heater bottom would have closed off the drain. The old heater has legs. He used PVC pipe pieces to elevate this new heater. He replaced the gas shutoff valve and the water shutoff valve. The old ones were over 36 years old."

"Called and made an appointment. The plumber, Lee, showed up as scheduled. We discovered that the shut-off valve for the water to our condo unit was in another owner's unit. That owner was not home, so we had to reschedule the appointment.
I rescheduled the appointment and was told the plumber would arrive at 8:00 a.m., the first appointment for the day. On the day, the plumber did not show up at 8:00. I ended up calling to see why the plumber had not arrived. I was told that another plumber was out that day, which had thrown the schedule off. (I realize these things happen. I do wish they had called to tell me there would be a delay as the water had been shut off for three units and was keeping another unit owner--in whose unit the main shut off valve was--from going to work.)
When Lee arrived, he apologized for the delay. He replaced the shut-off valve and installed the new fill valve, which stopped the toilet from running. He also lowered the fill water level to save water. Lee cleaned up any mess made by the work and was clear at explaining what had been done and about how to use the shut-off valve in a way that could help it last longer (e.g. not turning it too far or too tightly when turning it off.) Lee explained that I was being charged for the 15 minutes from the first call (when we could not shut off the main water line to our unit) plus labor and parts for this work. (There was an apprentice with Lee both times who was very friendly and professional.)
A few hours after Lee left, the toilet began running again. I could not get it to stop, so I called and got an appointment for a time when I could be home a few days later. For this third visit, Jeff was the plumber. He replaced an O-seal on the flush valve with an extra I had on hand. He also removed some debris from the toilet tank that he thought might be interfering with the seal. He also adjusted the water fill level, which added more pressure to the flush valve, which stopped the toilet from running. He did not charge us for this call, since he was adjusting work done earlier.
Though it was a bit convoluted, we still appreciate the work done. We appreciated the idea of using less water with each flush, and appreciated the "learning" that the water needs to be a certain level to keep the flush valve from running.
Lynn, the receptionist with whom I dealt through all of this was friendly and helpful.

"Fast response to initial query.  Scheduling via Angie's list messaging took a few tries to find date.  On the scheduled date and time, he called me to let me know that he was running at least a couple hours late.  Gave me the option to still have the work done (later in the evening) or have him come first thing Saturday.  I chose the latter.
Plumber is very professional and the work was done to my expectations/specifications.  I would hire them again, and in fact plan to, for additional work at our second home.

"Dave did a great job! I'm glad I picked him over the other 2 quotes I got to replace my water heater and a noisy, slow-flowing kitchen faucet. A true professional. Good and reasonable pricing. On time and reliable. Very nice human being. Will be calling him again should any plumbing troubles arise."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Lake Elmo, MN

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.
