"I purchased a heat pump electric water heater to take advantage of a generous rebate from Efficiency Maine. When looking for someone to install it I was referred to Jophil by a real estate company that I know. I called and was given a time that Kyle would arrive to give an estimate and perform the installation (if the estimate was accepted). I did accept the estimate and Kyle got right to work. He did a nice job and made sure that everything was in good working order before he left. I was very pleased with my first experience with this company and would not hesitate to call on them again in the future."

We could not be happier with his service. We would recommend him to anyone who needs plumbing repairs. Cheryl and Jim Taylor"

"We had been experiencing a loss of hot water.  I noticed that often the ignitor would spark but the burner would not light.  I have used MultiSpec Inc. / Aire Serv of Southern Maine in the past to troubleshoot and replace a faulty gas valve in the same water heater so they were my first call in this most recent problem.
I placed a total of three separate service calls on this issue.  The first was about 10 months ago and the service technician could not duplicate the problem.  The second call was a couple months ago and the service technician was able to duplicate the problem and cleaned components on the ignitor but unfortunately this did not correct the problem even though the technician was not able to duplicate the problem after the cleaning.  I placed the third and final call recently and the service technician was able to determine the cause of the burner not lighting was due to the lack of water pressure at the hot water heater and recommended that I increase the cut in and cut out at the well pump.  This completely corrected the problem with the hot water heater and I've had no further problems with it.
The bills for the three separate service calls added up to approximately $1050.00.  I had concerns about this amount as I felt that the water pressure as the cause should have been determined without having to place three calls, being billed for each call.  The owner of the company, Harvey Multer, called me after I raised my concerns and we had a very pleasant talk about the billing.  Harvey listened to my concerns and politely explained the reasons for the billing amounts and in the end, suggested a billing reduction that was very fair.  Harvey was very polite and professional with the billing issue and all technicians that have worked on my hot water heater have been professional and courteous. 
I consider the service and billing issues completely resolved and I will be calling MultiSpec Inc. / Aire Serv of Southern Maine for any future hot water unit installs or servicing.

"I needed my toilet cleared out to work properly. I tried to take care of it myself, but as anyone could tell you that I am definitely not a plumber. So, I needed to hire a professional to do the job. The job was done immediately and the bill was very reasonable. Anytime I even think about any plumbing work, I know who to call."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

We recommend you turn off the unit, the power, and the water supply as soon as you notice a leak. Your water heater tank should have a dedicated shut-off valve located on the cold inlet pipes. If the valve is broken or inoperable, use the shut-off valve to your home's main water supply to stop the flow to the entire house.

Avoid touching valves or pipes directly without confirming if they are hot. Wear gloves and other safety gear to keep from coming into contact with hot levers or components when turning off your leaking water heater.

If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what’s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn’t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. 

Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there’s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Electric water heaters typically last 10 to 20 years, though proper maintenance can extend their lifespan. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency—such as higher energy bills, frequent repairs, or leaks—replacement is a smart investment. Tankless models last over 20 years, which can make them a longer-lasting alternative to traditional tank water heaters.

When replacing an old unit, you might want to switch from a gas water heater to an electric water heater or vice versa. To do this, you will likely need to add infrastructure to the area. For example, you likely don’t have a gas line that served your old electric water heater. You’d have to call a plumber to put in a new gas line. If you’re replacing a gas unit with an electric one, the plumber will need to safely cap the old gas line. You will then need an electrician to add wiring for the new electric unit.

If you're replacing a broken water heater, now is a great time to make sure you're selecting a unit that has the right capacity for your household. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a small 50-gallon to 60-gallon tank is sufficient for households with one to three people. A medium-sized 80-gallon tank is considered ideal for three to four people. A larger tank may be needed if your household has four to six people.
