"Did a $59 consult only. Turned out the cost of repairing the old heater was almost as much as a new one, so we got a new one, and handled the install ourselves. Luis B was great, knowledgeable, friendly, didn't try to upcharge just to sell a heater, which we appreciated. Gave us an honest evaluation, several options, and was right on time. I will say, though, that the company failed to call me when he was on his way... not a big deal. All in all a good experience."

"The service was through, friendly, and professional. We just bought the house and the equipment hadn't been serviced in a long time. Mold was removed and a U/V light installed, in addition to the standard service. Everything seems clean and the air smells fresh again. Extra filters were provided for us to use before the next 6-month scheduled service."

"It’s become so rare to have a good experience that I had to post this review. First, they are fast. I called them to setup an appointment, the morning after, the technician showed up for the inspection and the quote. Then the day after he came back to fix everything. There were also many details that showed how considerate the technician (Bryan) was. He parked his van either on the street or away from our garage doors, allowing us to easily leave our house when necessary. He used shoe covers, which prevented our floors from getting dirt or residues. And after the job was done, he did not leave any mess, like if he had never been here. We have rarely seen that level of attention. Also, they did not try to rip us up… ASI wanted to charge us $3000 to repair our air ducts! Carini only charged us $500. We will definitely use Carini again."

"Point Loma Electric, Plumbing did our home electrical panel upgrade/replacement. and they did a great job at a competitive price. Once SDGE issued the permit to proceed, Point Loma scheduled the work and did everything in under 2 days, with power off for less than 1 day. Eloi and Angel were our technicians, they were professional, kept everything neat and clean, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. We are very happy."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in San Diego, CA

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.
