My indirect, oil-fired, hot-water heater had formed a large, brown puddle on the floor of the basement -- a sign the steel interior tank had rusted. Absolute Mechanical Systems called and we arranged an appointment for an estimate (I also called my oil company, which sent out a salesman to give me a quote). My oil company responded with a quote of $2,653 for a stone-lined water heater (including all labor and hauling away the old heater). Curt Woodworth of Absolute Mechanical Systems contacted the maker of the water heater, Weil-McClain. After some back and forth with the representative from Weil-McClain (who initially insisted on proof that I'm the original owner of the water heater, which I am), Curt got the warranty to apply. Bottom line: Thanks to Curt, I got a new, larger (a 40-gallon as opposed to the exiting 32-gallon) water heater for free! With Curt's labor, the total cost of the installation came in at less than half the competitor's quote. Curt was professional, pleasant and prompt. He even pointed out a few other repairs that will require a plumber.
