"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

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.

No state requires you to vent an electric water heater. Other installation requirements for water heaters will vary, though, depending on the state and local jurisdiction in which you live. Some places require permits, while others don’t. Some may force you to place the appliance a certain distance from any walls or other appliances, while others don't. When you find a local professional to install a water heater, this expert will ensure you follow all the local regulations.

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.

You should replace your gas water heater when it’s reached the end of its lifespan, which is a maximum of 12 years in most cases. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency, leaks, or frequent malfunctions, it may be time to replace your water heater. Research how to best maintain your gas water heater to help extend its lifespan.

A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years, which is nearly double the lifespan of a conventional tank heater. However, their longevity is highly dependent on several factors. With proper installation and regular maintenance, such as descaling to prevent mineral buildup from hard water, you can expect a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Without proper care, a tankless unit may begin to fail in as little as 12 years. Other factors that affect its lifespan include household usage and the quality of the local water supply. While they have a higher upfront cost, their energy savings, smaller size, and longer life make them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.
