We called Mike's Plumbing and was told someone would call me back soon. Ram called back within 20 minutes but they were booked for the week so they didn't have any appointments available until Monday the 14th unless someone else cancelled their appointment before Monday. Ram scheduled a service call for Monday in case we couldn't find another plumber to fix the hot water heater before the weekend. We were able to schedule a service call for Thursday with All Valley Plumbing and AC Co. They showed up, determined the problem and ordered the part and today (Friday) the part came in and they were able to replace the electronic part that had failed. I then called Mike's Plumbing back to cancel the Monday appointment. Ram was friendly and professional, and even though Mike's Plumbing didn't perform the service, we would not hesitate in calling them again if needed.

We called Mike's Plumbing but they didn't have any appointments available until Monday the 14th. They scheduled a service call in case we couldn't find another plumber to fix the hot water heater before the weekend. On Wednesday the 9th we called All Valley Plumbing and AC Co. and spoke to Yoli. She scheduled Saul for the next day to diagnose and possibly fix the problem. Yoli called on Thursday morning to let us know Saul was on his way. Saul should up within the 30-minute time Yoli said he would. He determined the electronic part that controls the power and heating elements was out and called Rheem to order the part and have it sent to us at home. Saul gave us an invoice for $0.00 since this was covered under Rheem's warranty. Today, Friday the 11th, the part arrived before 1 pm. We called Yoli and she scheduled Saul to come back to our house within an hour. Saul showed up within an hour of our call and replaced the bad part, flipped on the breaker and hot water heaters power LED came on. Saul gave us a second invoice, again for $0.00 since this was also covered under Rheem's warranty. Yoli and Saul were both friendly and professional. We would definitely call All Valley Plumbing and AC Co. again if needed.

Didn't end up installing a new water heater because the house will go up for sale BUT if I were to have proceeded I would have chosen Burl's Plumbing for the job after receiving three other quotes. Should the old water heater quit working before the house is sold I would call Burl's. Mr....

FAQs for heating oil service projects in Alton, TX
To buy heating oil for your house, contact local heating oil companies to compare prices and place an order once you decide on a supplier. The company will have to deliver your heating oil in a truck designed to carry and dispense heating oil safely. Call and order your heating oil early enough to have your oil delivered before you need to start using it for home heating.
On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.
You save money on heating oil in a few ways:
Make sure your home is well insulated and sealed against drafts and heat leakage.
Use a thermostat that’s working properly and calibrated accurately.
Program your thermostat to lower the heat when you’re not home.
Order heating oil during the off-season when prices are likely to be lower.
Summer months tend to be when heating oil prices are lowest because of decreased demand. Buying heating oil during the off-season also prepares you for when the weather gets cold, and you need to start using the oil to heat your home. Although heating oil prices will fluctuate, it’s best to avoid purchasing between September and April, as that's the peak season for heating oil demand.
Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
