Owner operated company in business for over 20 years with a staff of 4 plumbing and heating service technicians. On call weekend and after hours emergency services available.

"I'm so happy with the service and pricing I got from Bakers Plumbing and Heating. It's a family-owned business but they have several crews dedicated to each of their services, so the furnace crew put in our new furnace quickly and professionally. But it's run like a small family business where you're likely to talk to the owner and he wants to make sure you're happy with the work. Can't recommend them highly enough."

"The first mistake was in their measuring and I ended up with too big of an insert. (This was almost eight years ago, and I let it go, although unhappy.) Because of the size miscalculation, installation took much longer. Come dark, the work quality seemed to change. In the end I was told nothing was getting in my chimney and they did not install an actual chimney cap. The resulting problem of 2018... This spring, a bird made it all the way down to my unit, alive. Affordable wouldn’t take care of anything except to say I could book a cleaning for inside the insert, which wasn’t the problem. Luckily I found a company that would help. Upon removing the insert, they found debris accumulated in the liner, and multiple dead birds. (The new bird had died, and there were apparently others prior.) This hazard had been ongoing for years, unbeknownst to me! Affordable said I should have called sooner?! Communication was drawn out for months, so it’s now October and I finally know Dave is not accepting any responsibility in my $891 repair bill that stated: *intake liner not to top of flue *open hole in top plate *no animal protection present *birds have entered into flue area, old smoke chamber, and have nested *unit must be removed and cleaned *new liners and termination cap required for safe, efficient venting. Needless to say I am very disappointed in my company choice and certainly do not recommend Affordable Heating."

Gas Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

There isn’t a way to convert electric fireplaces easily or cheaply to gas. The process requires major renovations, as opposed to wood fireplaces, which are often already vented and have space for the gas-burning equipment. To convert an electric fireplace to gas, you’d need to remove your old fireplace and get a completely new install.

Plumbers start by walking around the property to see if they notice any signs or sounds of a gas leak. They can also use tools like electronic gas detectors and infrared cameras to find the source of leaks. There are also detectors that use laser, thermal, and multi-wavelength imaging. All these devices allow a plumber to scan your home and pinpoint the exact location of a leak.

The right way to vent a gas water heater is to have a pipe directly upward or slopes upward out of the house. Because hot air naturally rises, this type of venting will efficiently ensure that all gas moves out of the house. Your system may rely on fans or blowers as well.

While some building codes allow galvanized pipe for natural gas, it shouldn’t be used for propane. Propane can cause the pipe to wear down, leading to dangerous leaks. Instead of galvanized piping for propane, you should consider coated copper, black iron, or corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). For underground propane line installation, you can use polyethylene (PE).

No, homeowners should never attempt to fix a gas leak themselves. Gas leaks pose serious health and fire hazards. Exposure to leaking gas can make you sick, and accumulated gas can ignite and explode. So always take leaks seriously and seek the help of a pro right away. While you may be able to detect a gas leak, always call a licensed professional to handle repairs and replacements.
