Tips for Choosing Water Heater Repair Service

It’s happened. Your water heater has broken down and there is nothing fabulous about it! Owning your own home sometimes presents these incredibly inconvenient obstacles, but it’s no reason to pack up and move out!

Finding the right company, or individual, to handle the major repairs in your precious home can be as simple as a google search. But that doesn’t mean you should just call up the first number you see! Here are some great tips for finding the right repair service to handle all your water heater needs.

Budget Friendly Options


We’re sure you’ve taken all the necessary precautions to make sure your water heater lasts as long as possible! You’ve got your whole house on a water filter you had so many reasons to get, your water heater is wonderful, and it works for many years.

Unfortunately, something is definitely up! You’ve just paid all your bills and there isn’t much left for an overly expensive repair service!

Don’t fret, there are tons of budget friendly water heater repair services out there that will help you get your home up and working again! Payment plans, credit cards, discount packages, and even small bank loans are all viable options. Ask the service you pick if there are payment options available, and check with them for ALL of their payment options.

Estimates

A great way to find the best water heater repair service to work with you is to have a few companies, or individuals, give you an estimate. An estimate should include labor fees, parts, time it will take to fix, and what exactly will be done to your water heater.

Typically, estimates are free, but sometimes companies charge to have someone come out to your home. Make sure when you call the office, whoever is on the other end of the line assures you the estimate is free!

Reviews


Customer reviews can be really hit or miss. When doing your own research online, make sure you know exactly what to look for so you don’t end up with all the negative reviews popping up on your computer screen!

  • Look for Stars. Most review sites and search engines will complete your search with a listing ranked from best to worst. Look for repair services that are AT LEAST three stars. This means their average review is at least moderate. Sometimes the most stars are also the most expensive!
  • The Good First. Read as many positive reviews as you can first. See what customers liked about the service. “This Denver water heater repair service had a great attitude! They got everything done on time and I’m really happy!” Make sure you look for specific reasons for the good review. i.e. “Discount on parts”, “offered an annual package”, “were really patient and kind”, “finished on time”, etc.
  • The Negative Last. Sometimes the negative reviews you see are simply because a person didn’t get what they THOUGHT they were going to get. Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt, because you never know what perspective the person is writing with… Like if they had a bad day, or simply didn’t get along with the repair person.

Reviews are a great way to narrow down your search for the right repair service for your water heater. However, reviews aren’t the only way to find the right company!

Word of Mouth


Sometimes your friends have all the right answers! Ask around to find a service repair shop that your friends or family have used before. This way you KNOW they have good service because the people who know you best, will be honest with you. Besides, your friends were the ones who told you all the benefits of drinking hot water, you might as well let them help you find someone to fix the water heater!

Count on your friends and family to help you make this important decision. Find a repair service that a few of your friends, or family like best, then call them for an estimate. Sometimes the best ways to find the right repair service is the simplest!

Getting It Done

With these tips on finding the right water heater repair service, you can rest assured you are not only making the most informed decision, but the best one for you and your home! Whether you hear from your friends, read all the reviews, go through all the estimates, or pick a budget friendly option, you’ve got all the tools to find the service you need!
