He came to the rescue when our builders plumber could not install the orafice on our gas dryer prior to our moving in. Even helping to move the washer into the laundry room. When we called him back he voluntarily looked over the new build plumbing and fixed several areas that were potential for future leaks due to poor installation. He quoted the work, made recommendations for fixing our issues: hard water and 10+ minutes to get hot water to the second floor. He came back quickly to do the work. He was not prepared to patch the drywall he had to cut for the pump, but otherwise cleaned up and you wouldn't have known he was there. He didn't just leave the drywall, we discussed it. Also worth mentioning, he uses email and returns voice mail, I rarely had to wait for a reply even if not urgent. He is my new plumber! Fantastic.

They ran into some difficulty getting the nut off the valve to replace the washer. It was tightly torqued on the valve and they had little room to work. Washer was replaced though after they left, I noticed some water leaking around the nut they had taken off. A day later I informed their office and they promptly came out to fix the situation. No additional cost. Both plumbers were courteous and efficient. They also provided some advise on other minor plumbing issues I want to get addressed in the future. Their main office was great at customer service and keeping us informed. I plan to use them in the future for replacing the kitchen sink and organizing the pluming underneath the sink.

"If I could just rate some of the service technicians I would rate them higher and would recommend that they find a new ethical company to work for! We purchased our unit seven years ago. We had gotten a quote several months prior to purchasing our unit and when we purchased there was a sale that was $500 cheaper then the quote. They had us sign the quote sheet acknowledging installation which had ten year parts and one year labor warranty which we did not pay attention to since it was an old quote. However, the invoice we received had the correct amount that I paid and listed 10 year parts and labor warranty which now they don't want to honor. An attorney I consulted said the invoice would stand up in small claims court which I am now considering. It's just ashamed people don't have ethical business practices. I would encourage anyone looking for a new unit or service for existing systems to look elsewhere!!!!!"

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Amherst, VA
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
