Here are five things to consider before you hire a water heater repair service:
- Avoid Craig’s List – Word of mouth is the best.
- Reputation – The internet can be as bad as Craig’s list. Word of mouth allows you to easily find out which water heater repair companies have the best reputations. By checking water heater repair services out online, you are able to access customer reviews and ratings, but you still don’t know if the reviews are real or fraud.
- Certification – A licensed plumber is the only way to go.
- Experience – Experience is extremely important when it comes to repairing a water heater. Generally, the more experienced the technician, the higher the quality of the work.
- Price – At the end of the day, price is always a deciding factor. However, it shouldn’t be the only factor—you should be very wary of a company that gives you an estimate that seems too good to be true. You will probably end up paying more in the long run to fix their poor-quality work or to repair or replace the water heater again just a few short months or years later.
