I contacted Cecil Davis who, at the time, had no plumbers available, but recommended two other plumbers. After checking with others, I had the choice of replacing the water heater with a unit from a home improvement store or wait until Monday when another unit could be purchased from the plumbing warehouse. I decided it best to wait since I wanted to upgrade our 40-gallon electric lowboy to an electric 50-gallon. The two plumbers came first thing Monday. The old unit was placed in the worst possible location in our crawlspace and was difficult to remove, but they managed to pull it out and set up the new unit. The old unit's plumbing was not up to code, lacking a shut-off and a relief valve which they also installed with the new unit. Their drill broke when installing the relief valve, which made the install take longer, but they still completed the installation in a decent amount of time. It works well and is a far better installation than the previous unit.

They had 24-48 hours to schedule an appointment and I was told I could call and schedule the appointment myself. After calling three times during the day (morning, early afternoon, late afternoon) my warranty company finally got in touch with them and they scheduled an appointment for Thursday, April 17, 2014, between 8 and 12. They arrived before 10 am and managed to get the pilot light lit on my water heater; something I could not accomplish. The service technician mentioned that a part could be bad on the water heater but he wasn't going to fix it unless the pilot light went out again. I thought this was odd but I had to follow their "process". I asked why the pilot light went out or if it was normal. The water heater is not in a location where weather can affect staying lit. The pilot light was out when I woke the next morning. I called the warranty company again and asked them to send out Nichol's again. Nichol's said they weren't coming until Tuesday the 22nd. That was 4 more days without hot water. I was very upset but I had to just wait. On Monday, the 21st, Nichol's opted to cancel my appointment and move it to Wednesday; there was no reason given only that they would come sometime on Wednesday. I have no hot water, this was incredibly unacceptable. There is no reason to reschedule in my opinion, especially since they had time to fix it Friday or even Monday. I attempted to call Nichol's again and once more they weren't there to pick up the phone. They have an office manager so it seems odd that they are not there throughout the day.
I called my home warranty company and advised them of the issue. Originally they said they had to let Nichol's finish the job but I explained to them that they simply showed up, lit the pilot and walked away. There was no troubleshooting done, which I now know is wrong. The home warranty company took the job from Nichol's on Monday the 21st and gave it to a company that was willing to come out the next day. The end result is that Nichol's Plumbing should have checked a few things on the water heater. If their technician waited a few more minutes, he would have watched the pilot light go out on his own. The pilot can be re-lit but it goes out every 4 minutes. The new company who is now completing the job noticed the gas valve was likely not working. They tested the thermal coupling and found that to be in good working order; something Nichol's should have also done. Finally, with a few minutes spent next to the water heater, they discovered a leak causing steam which resulted in no air getting to the water heater and thus, the pilot light was going out due to lack of oxygen. The sound of the leak is obvious now that it is pointed out. This is another oversight on the tech's part. For what they charged me and what they definitely charged the warranty company, they should have done some troubleshooting instead of telling me a part may be bad but unless it happens again, they weren't going to fix it. The end result is a new water heater was needed.

I called CK's Plumbing at the advice of a friend and Chris said he was very busy, but could be out the very next morning! He removed the leaking water heater and installed a shiny new tankless model that has since paid for itself. Chris was punctual, friendly and worked fast to restore hot water to our home. Lucky for us, we only had to go one night without hot water, but it's one of those things you just expect to always be there until it's not. *I do want to add that this review is long overdue....Chris performed this work around Oct. of 2011, so I'm sorry for the late review Chris!!!

Cary Plumbing came out immediately and suggested we call PSNC energy to fix the problem. The plumber waited until I got a response from PSNC and knew they were on the way. The worst part of the experience was the PSNC service person. He was unpleasant and disrespectful of our problem but he fixed it within 15 minutes. When he came into the house to light our gas logs he tracked mud and dirt through the house. I complained to PSNC and at least I got a response from a supervisor at the company. The next issue was getting the final electrical installation and Town of Cary inspection. After waiting three weeks for the electrician Cary Plumbing gave me his cell number and he was at our house within a couple of days. Cary Plumbing is supposed to call Cary and arrange for an inspector to view the installation. After two more weeks I called Cary Plumbing again and they said the electrician never informed them that he completed the electrical. Cary Plumbing scheduled the inspector and the ordeal was over in a few days. Normally I would not grade the contractor an A after this experience but Cary Plumbing always was there to correct the problem I faced without delay.

"Cancelled all services with Blanton as well as this well pitched Wow Service Plan. Was given a good pitch about services provided. However, after scheduling twice for services provided by service plan, only to have them cancelled and told need to reschedule. Today is was need to reschedule because they are anticipating (four days from now) a high volume of emergency calls due to cold weather and freezing temperatures. What cold weather? 52 and 43 at night are not freezing temps; 69 and 67 daytime are not freezing temps. So you reschedule appointments four days in advance with no actual justification or confirmation the day of of what you think might happen? Sounds more like laziness or a reason not to fulfill appointments made almost two weeks prior. Second, why have an online system that allows you to book an appointment and date but when you call to complete the appointment process, tell us that the dates that show on the calendar as “available” don’t actually mean they are available? The lady I spoke to said they are run by two different departments. Sounds like you need to update your systems and booking process that actually shows dates of availability so customers don’t waste time picking a date that isn’t actually available and waste time. Or get rid of calendar option altogether so you cannot select a date that isn’t in “real” time."

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Cary, NC
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
