"They contacted me right away, set up an appointment, came and did a wonderful presentation that was on a Tuesday. I had other contractors in between. They already sent me their estimates. I waited till that Saturday. And I emailed him, that I wanted to get his estimate. Never received anything. The following Monday, I called his number. He never got back with me. I told him what I wanted. He never got back to me. On Tuesday, which would have been a week after he was here. I called H L Bowman, and spoke with somebody there. She said she would check into it, and she would have an estimate to me within a day or two. And they never got back with me. I never got an estimate. And we checked our email address. Make sure everything was good. Never received anything. And here it is like, over two weeks later and havent heard a word from them. "

"DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! They are all smiles and charming until you hand them upfront payment in full. They take your money and run. They also threaten the customer and have the largest number of excused why they can't/won't work. I had to retain an attorney to recoup my money and a reputable HVAC contractor who had to correct inadequate work done and finish the installation. I was guaranteed that the work would be completed before my scheduled carpet installation, which was 15 days sfter signing the contract with Village. Mike said they would be done in 3 days and that was a big lie. After not meeting the deadline and after constant reminders to Village and reassurances by Village the carpet was installed. Then Village decided it was OK to walk on the carpet with muddy shoes. No apology from them either. They installed a thermostat 4 feet from a stove in the kitchen, which is amateur at best. Thank God I found a great company who corrected and installed my new system."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Wilkes Barre, 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.
