Job completed for James D

Completion date: March 9, 2026

Location: Steelton, PA

Why did the customer contact us?

The customer contacted Handyside Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical because they were scheduled for maintenance on their water heater as part of their ongoing service needs. During the appointment, our technician observed that the existing water heater tank was showing signs of rust and deterioration. We informed the customer of the condition of the unit and provided them with replacement options to plan for future failure. A few weeks later, the condition of the tank worsened and the customer contacted Handyside Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical again to move forward with replacing the water heater.

Solutions provided:

Handyside Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical provided removal of the existing oil fired water heater and installation of a new electric water heater for the customer, beginning with a full inspection of the existing system and proper preparation of the work area to safely disconnect and remove the aging tank. Our team then disconnected the oil supply and associated piping, removed the deteriorating water heater, and installed the new electric unit with updated water connections and required electrical components to support safe and reliable operation. After installation, we filled and tested the system to confirm proper performance, checked for leaks, verified electrical operation and temperature settings, and reviewed the completed work with the homeowner to ensure they understood the new system and to support reliable hot water service going forward.
