What the reviews say
Water heater replacement & service
Customers praised a same-day replacement completed within four hours of the call and a repair that avoided a replacement.
Yelp reviewers said a near-$5,000 replacement was recommended when a second plumber relit the pilot for $100, and that a $250 part was quoted for a six-month-old heater; the company's manager asked both to send service details because the records could not be found.
