"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 technicians who completed the work were excellent ? I would rate them 5/5. However, the office team that contacted me did not provide an accurate quote. I was assured that, as a first-time customer, I would receive a favorable price, but this turned out to be a misleading promise made only to secure the business. Relying on that assurance, I canceled another professional and proceeded with Stellar Sewers Coastal Plumbing, which I now realize was a mistake. Due to the urgency of the situation, I had no choice but to accept the higher price. While the field staff performed well, the misleading communication from the office was disappointing. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company to others."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Santa Barbara, 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.
