"While visiting my father, I found out the pilot light on the hot water heater wasn't staying lit. I found out a different company (I didn't
get the name, otherwise, I'd add a negative review on them) had come out and had apparently banged a wrench against the heater in attempt to and quot;fix it.and quot; They said if it continued to act up, it would have to be replaced and quoted $2,000!!! for the job. $2,000 to replace a hot water heater isn't just steep, it's insane. I heard that they had also been out several times at $200 per visit but didn't replace the thermocouple and instead just re-lit the pilot light each time.
I found North Valley Plumbing through Angie's list and called. I spoke with the owner who said he'd have someone come out to the house. I assumed that meant much later in the day, so when their van pulled up about 20 minutes later, I was very pleasantly surprised.
So right from the start I was impressed. But that was just the beginning of how impressive North Valley Plumbing is and how impressed I was with their service.
Robert was very professional and listened to our tale of woe. He identified the problem and got right to work. He explained what he was doing and was very courteous and friendly. He didn't have the correct size part with him and said he had to go pick up a new one and would be right back. He kept his word and was back very quickly. He charged what the part cost him.
Since I don't live in the area, I told Robert if more work is needed, I'll definitely call North Valley Plumbing again. Definitely a great shop with great people.

"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can convert a gas water heater to an electric one, but it is a complex process. You will need to ensure there is adequate power for the new electric unit, as they require more power than gas models. The project also involves safely closing off the gas lines and ventilation, and some cities may require a permit for the conversion. The cost can range from $1,500 to $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical work, and the water heater model. For an accurate quote, it's best to contact a local professional. Also, be aware that your monthly utility bills may increase after the conversion, as natural gas is typically cheaper than electricity.

Often, the first issue you might encounter is a lack or loss of power—this could be caused by a tripped switch or a failed heating element. If your hot water is not producing enough power and its size is not the issue, you might need to replace one of its heating elements. A leaking water heater could be caused by tank erosion.

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

Excessive pressure (above 80 psi) puts too much stress on plumbing pipes, joints, and fixtures. This can lead to leaks and burst pipes. Plus, it shortens the lifespan of appliances, can waste water, and can raise your utility bills. High water pressure might feel like a gift, but it’s actually a silent threat to plumbing.

A leaking water heater could potentially last for a few weeks or months before you need to repair it. However, it's not advisable to wait too long. Once your water heater starts leaking, it's likely that the underlying cause of the leak is getting worse as time goes on. Without immediate repair, your water heater could fail. Instead of using a leaky water heater, you should turn it off and call a pro to fix it.
