How Mickey handles it
- 01Describe what it's doing on the phone — Mickey can often diagnose it right there and quote the fix.
- 02Repair vs. replace is a math question, not a sales pitch: age, condition, and cost laid out straight.
- 03If it's a replacement, you get a firm installed price — permit, haul-away, and code items included, not surprise add-ons.
- 04Same-day service in most cases, because cold showers make people grumpy.
- 05Installation done to current code (strapping, venting, drip pan) and warrantied.
Straight prices, no bait

“Mickey told me that he was already in my city at another job and he would call me back in 1 hour. In less than an hour, he was at my house. He is very nice, very knowledgeable and efficient. AND his prices are amazing. I will be using his service again.”

Common questions
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Under 8 years old with a cheap fix — repair. Over 10 with a leaking tank — replace; a leaking tank never heals. In between, Mickey gives you the honest math instead of defaulting to the expensive answer.
Can you install a water heater the same day?
Usually, yes. Call in the morning and there's a good chance you're showering hot that night. Mickey confirms timing when you call.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
For some homes, absolutely; for others the gas-line and venting upgrades eat the savings. Mickey will tell you which house you have before you spend tankless money.
Why does my hot water smell or look rusty?
Usually a failing anode rod or sediment in the tank — sometimes the tank itself rusting out. It's a quick diagnosis, and catching it early can save the heater.
