"My water heater has stopped working and water heaters in a hurry was able to come out same day, on a Saturday. Jeff was professional, knowledgeable and explained all of my options. He ended up replacing the water heater and upgrading my system. He was thorough and clearly wanted to make sure that the job was done right. I would definitely recommend this company for any issues with your water heater."
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.

"Ross and his team did an amazing job replacing my old water heater with a new tankless water heater. They arrived on time, were very professional and had my hot water up and running in what seemed like no time. They provided excellent service at a great price and I will definitely use them for all of my plumbing needs!"

"I have a service contract with them. They ran the line in the basement and connected it to the stove. They had to be creative because they were running lines in an area not made for it. They came and did the job in one visit and haven't had any issues. It took about half of a day to complete this job.  I could have shopped around and gotten a cheaper price. I was comfortable with them. I didn't feel the need to go out and compare prices. I have a service contract with them."

"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."

"I had a great experience with Premier HVAC replacing my old and leaking water heater. I was impressed that they were able to respond quickly and start working on the same day as my call, especially given the severely cold weather and other plumbers being busy replacing freezing pipes. The plumber was able to work with my very tight kitchen space and narrow hallways, and without having to remove the countertop in my kitchen. I am satisfied with the installation and would definitely consider Premier HVAC for future plumbing needs."

"Wayne. Explained everything before work was done. Also. Cleaned and did tune up on my heater. Very reasonably priced on both. Services done same day. Wayne and Lamar very clean and courteous. These services were done in October 2019. I have already recommended them and given out their business card. Also the pen with light that was given. Definitely a plus."

"I highly recommend 1-800-Plumber+Air of Lansdale for any plumbing needs. Lou and Kefah are great at customer care, informing regarding every step of a project. Technicians Mikel P. and Kevin R. are very professional, courteous, work fast and accurate, and leave the work area clean. I also recommend the Jome Guard service which provides valuable benefits."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Philadelphia, 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.
