"The owner, Joe Ward, personally performed and oversaw all services alongside his team each day. He provided a fair and transparent estimate for the complete remodel, including a Tub-to-Shower conversion. With 35 years of experience, Joe inspired confidence in choosing him and his company for our project. His artistry and expertise were evident throughout the process, as he guided us in selecting options that resulted in a stunning and enduring design. Joe’s honesty and dedication shine through in his meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every aspect—from plumbing and electrical work to flooring and paint—meets his exacting standards without cutting any corners. He works exclusively with his trusted team, eliminating the need for unfamiliar contractors and maintaining consistency with the same crew each day, all led by Joe himself. Punctuality and communication were flawless, and his team treated our home with respect, thoroughly cleaning up at the end of each day. My trust in Joe is absolute, and I look forward to hiring him again for further updates to our over-100-year-old home. If I could, I’d gladly award him 1,000 stars!

Fayette Heating & Air was founded in 1971 with one man, one truck and $500. From the start, Al Melrose was committed to providing quality equipment with integrity and outstanding customer service. As a second generation family-owned business, those same values lead our company today. Fayette Heating & Air has been recognized nationally, regionally and locally for both business practices and its community efforts.

"BUYER BEWARE!!!!! This company is all about getting their $99.00 for the estimate, selling you an annual service fee and then quoting exuberant prices. Not really sure if they really care about doing the actual plumbing work. Recently gave me an estimate for a job of $500. Learned later after from another plumber that what they wanted to do was actually not correct AND should have cost no more than $250. Had I used Fayette Heating / H20 Mastero, I would have paid $600 for a job done incorrectly. At least the 99.00 I paid kept me from damaging my house further. There are a lot of reputable plumbers in Lexington. Suggest you look elsewhere"

I know -- big talk and promises are easy, but we back up this commitment by never charging a service fee - ever! It is our job to EARN your business first - and if we haven't you don't pay us a dime. Different - Refreshing - Better. We offer amazing and thoughtful customer service, appointments designed around your schedule, and expert real licensed technicians that are honest and genuine.

"I was thrilled with the professionalism and how quickly this company was able to get to work. They found a simple solution to our problem and fixed it. Another company gave us an estimate 10X what we paid with PlumbTite for many unnecessary items. Unfortunately the post project clean up was not to my liking as there was sewage spill all over the basement floor after the crew left (our house smelled like sewage for weeks after) otherwise I would be able to give all 5 stars."

Water heater repair or services FAQs

Flushing your water heater helps prevent mineral deposits from building up. It removes sediment that would otherwise insulate the heating element and slow heat transfer. Proactive maintenance ensures that your water heater maintains a consistent temperature while operating efficiently and extends its lifespan so you have a long-term, dependable hot water source.

Plan on flushing your water heater once a year. If you have hard water with high calcium levels, consider flushing it twice a year to keep it running smoothly. Regular flushing helps prevent sediment buildup, ensures that reliable hot water is readily available, and extends the life of your water heater.

If you notice unusual noises from your water heater, inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or cloudy water, leaks near the drain valve, or higher utility bills, it's time to flush your water heater. These signs indicate that sediment buildup is affecting your heater’s performance. Professional flushing service can help restore your water heater’s efficiency and prevent further issues.
