What the reviews say
Water heater replacement & service
Yelp reviewers praised quick response, same-day or next-day water heater replacement, and a technician willing to repair an 11-year-old tankless unit.
BBB complainants disputed a water heater replacement price paid under emergency conditions and a $2,000 deposit largely kept after a verbally cancelled water heater job (Beacon said its contract terms, including written cancellation, were clearly stated), and a Yelp reviewer called $5,700 for a 50-gallon gas tank double what he expected.

Yelp review
Konstantinos B. · Jan 19, 2026
The reviewer said he was charged $5,700 for a standard 50-gallon gas water heater with expansion tank and that repair was not checked; he said the technicians were polite and communicative.
Company reply and outcome: A business manager apologized and asked the reviewer to contact customer support.
BBB complaint
Customer name withheld · 05/13/2026
Senior customers said they needed the lowest-cost option for a leaking water heater, were charged far more than later bids of $2,000-$3,000 less, and that follow-up on a promised price review stalled.
Company reply and outcome: Status Answered; Beacon said it had reached out about a proposed resolution and that its contract terms are clearly spelled out. The customer rejected the response.
BBB complaint
Customer name withheld · 03/11/2025
An 84-year-old customer said she was quoted $4,400 plus $400 for a stand for a water heater replacement, paid a $2,000 deposit, cancelled verbally with the technician within 24 hours, and that about $1,791 was kept because cancellation was not in writing.
Company reply and outcome: Status Answered; Beacon said the contract requires written cancellation and that it would follow the contract. The customer rejected the response.
BBB customer review
Chip W · 06/15/2026
The reviewer said he was charged $665 for annual tankless water heater maintenance but the technician spent about ten minutes and did not flush, descale or clean the filter.
Company reply and outcome: Beacon said the process was explained and the customer signed off that work was completed to his satisfaction.
Ask before booking: Before any work starts, can I have a written price for the water heater replacement and a copy of your cancellation and deposit terms?
