Yelp review
Denise A. · May 2, 2025
The reviewer said after the gas company found a leaking control valve on a five-year-old water heater still under parts warranty, a company representative argued about the warranty and only wanted to sell a $6,000 replacement.
Yelp review
Brian S. · February 23, 2019
The reviewer said Al Coronado found that another company's water heater installation had shortcuts and was not to spec, and reinstalled it; the reviewer said it was not inexpensive but worth it.
Company reply and outcome: The owner thanked the reviewer on Yelp (Feb 23, 2019).
Ask before booking: Ask whether the problem part is covered under the manufacturer's parts warranty and what a repair would cost before discussing a full replacement.
