"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.

"We pay yearly but we have this is included with our rental property. They are pretty good on most things. We had a hot water heater replaced and they did an excellent job on that. They are very quick on their response. They dont come out here. It is all done on the internet.  I just like the idea that one time service charge is so much better than trying to hiring someone to come in. It is more about convenience. It pays for itself."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

Newer models are packed with newer technologies that decrease energy consumption and increase output, giving you more bang for your buck in more bills than one. 

If you’re trying to decide whether you want to repair or replace your new heater, consider factors like your utility bills, repair costs, and even your carbon footprint to help you decide whether it makes sense to buy a new one instead.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

It’s important to find the type of water heater that fits your needs and budget. Depending on the type of water heater, size, brand, and the type of energy you use to heat the water, costs range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Some of the most common types of water heaters include:

  • Electric: $600–3,500

  • Gas: $700–$2,700

  • Propane: $700–$2,500

  • High efficiency: $1,500–$3,000

  • Indirect: $1,200–$3,500

  • Hybrid heat pump: $1,200–$3,500

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.
