Our hot water heater is over 25 years old but it still works and doesn't leak but because of the age we thought we might need a new one. We call Gun Barrel Plumbing and they came the same day and did an inspection. John Herbertson was great. He was honest with us and didn't try to sell us something we didn't need. Our hot water heater is a Rheem and is glass and John told us that newer hot water heaters aren't made like they made them 25 years ago. He suggested we wait until our started leaking before getting a new one. So we will definitely call him if and when we need any plumbing work. We appreciate honesty in a person and the company they represent.
