"Call in the morning, visit that afternoon with quote, installation next day. They didn't have our model in stock, so we got an upgrade to the next larger water heater at no additional cost. Installer was very knowledgable and friendly."

"I was impressed with the service - my water heater suddenly stopped working first thing Tuesday morning, and had a replacement installed by lunch time. So happy I discovered Water Heater Boys because finding a trusted, licensed plumber with a spotless track record was overwhelming. WHB makes the process easy by connecting you with top rated talent - saved me a lot of time and grief and gave me the confidence to move quickly and get hot water restored on the same day!!"

"I have what turned out to be a 30 year old water heater replaced by this great company and they did it the same day of the quote. The installer had the water heater I wanted on the truck and did an excellent job of putting in the new unit, cleaning up and even replacing copper flex tubing and installing a new overflow pipe out of copper as well, no additional cost. This company specializes in water heaters and couldn't do any additional work on supply lines and they clearly state that on their website. I didn't need that type of additional work."

"Carl of Cali Water Heater Solutions replace my 20yr old water heater the same day I requested the work through the Angi platform. He began and finished in approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The installation was completed fast and efficient. I would recommend Carl of Cali to anyone needing their service and expertise in plumbing. Thanks again Carl."

"Did a $59 consult only. Turned out the cost of repairing the old heater was almost as much as a new one, so we got a new one, and handled the install ourselves. Luis B was great, knowledgeable, friendly, didn't try to upcharge just to sell a heater, which we appreciated. Gave us an honest evaluation, several options, and was right on time. I will say, though, that the company failed to call me when he was on his way... not a big deal. All in all a good experience."

"Everything went ok as far as I could tell, but yesterday a plumber told me the gas line was not large enough and that is why the water heater is not working properly."

"We are incredibly grateful to Pedro Galvan and his team for stepping in during a moment of urgent need. When our hot water system suddenly failed, leaving us without hot water for daily essentials, Pedro responded with a level of professionalism, clarity, and compassion that is truly rare. From the very first call, Pedro was attentive, transparent about pricing, and committed to solving the problem quickly. He provided us with the most cost-effective and honest quote out of several we obtained—and, even more importantly, was able to come almost immediately when others could not. His workmanship was precise, efficient, and tidy. It was clear we were in the hands of someone who genuinely takes pride in his craft. In a world where so many service professionals overpromise and underdeliver, Pedro Galvan delivers exactly what he promises—and does so with warmth, integrity, and a deep respect for his clients. We recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing plumbing services."

"I recently had my heat pump system replaced by Essential Heating and Air, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. They were responsive, showed up on time, and explained the process clearly without overcomplicating anything. The installation was done efficiently, and everything was left clean and organized afterward. I appreciated how straightforward they were when it came to pricing and options, no pressure, just solid information so I could make the right decision for my building. Overall, I’m happy with the service and would recommend them to anyone looking to replace or upgrade their HVAC system."
