What To Look For in a Water Heater Replacement Service
Water heaters are the most sensitive part of your plumbing. You can’t trust untrained plumbers with something as intricate as tankless water heaters or something as powerful as traditional water heaters. You shouldn’t do it yourself either—without proper precautions, a lot can go wrong.
Whether you’re looking to replace your old heater or update your traditional heater with tankless water heater installation in San Francisco, here is what you should look for in water heater replacement services:
In this digital age, customers can easily review service providers and inform others of their experiences. This is a huge advantage for professional service providers, but just as big of a threat to unprofessional ones.
If a water heater company has a good online presence, it means that its confident in its services and looks forward to reviews from its customers.
Check the service provider’s website and its reviews on different platforms before getting their services. We, for one, take great pride in our A+ rating by Better Business Bureau.
Water heater installation—and plumbing in general—is a combination of hard and soft skills. You need to know what to do and what tools and materials to use in different situations. However, you also need certain skills that you can’t learn in a book. The only way you can train for these skills is through practice. Experience is one of the most fool-proof ways to judge your water heater installer’s competence.
You can’t just wake up one day and decide you want to start offering tankless water heater installation in San Francisco. You need a strict set of skills before you can be trusted to do the job right.
This is why many states in the US, including California, require professional plumbers to hold a license. Only plumbers that meet all the state’s requirements are awarded a license. Always make sure your service provider is fully licensed before trusting them with your water heater installation.
Ill-defined pricing is an increasingly common way fraudulent plumbing services in San Francisco rip people off. They give you an estimate and claim that the final price will depend on the specifics of the installation. This final price is somehow always greater than the initial “estimate”.
The best way to avoid having to pay unfairly high prices is by contracting a service provider that offers free quotes and has straightforward, fixed prices.
At I Rooter and Plumbing we believe in upfront costs with no hidden fees or conditional charges. This is why we offer free quotes and have a fixed price for water heater replacement in San Francisco.
