"Quick company initial response. Although the schedule was busy, the AM had a tech to the house the next afternoon. Tech called ahead of time about time of arrival. Took time to give a thorough estimate. Estimate was reasonable for service. Tech installed water heater in a good time & quality. Left area neat & clean. Thank you AM!"

"The job went Great! This was the third time I've used Atomic and, like the other two times, I was very happy with the work done. My old water heater was acting like it was about to die. I called Atomic and Ryan was out the next day. We discussed the options (regular vs. tankless) and I went with regular, 50 gallon with 10 yr warranty. Because the door to the closet where the water heater "lives" would be too narrow for the newer, wider tanks, he was able to find a taller model that would still allow me to squeeze into the closet to utilize the extra storage space. Ryan fashioned the extra pipe extensions to make it all work. The installation went well and when it was done I was very happy. Ryan was professional, friendly, and helpful. The office staff also is great at keeping the customer updated and when the tech is actually on the way to your home. I would highly recommend Atomic to everyone. I know I will call them the next time I need plumbing help!"

"Outstanding and affordable service with a smile! Greg replaced our old and rusty water heater. Its very stressful when out of hot water. Greg took all the stress away. He also took very good care protecting our floors and carpets. He used drop cloths and boot covers leaving no trace of dirt or rust from the old water heater behind."

"The water heater workmanship was just fine. The minus comes from their determination to have the demolition company out to demo and replace the wall. That company wanted to cause an extra cost by removing the one time use exhaust to the water heater and having Mr. Rooter come back to replace it again at cost. This part was completed by another company without affecting the exhaust at all and saving me about $1k."

"Charlie the install supervisor, was very knowledgeable. I changed from a 2 zone to a 3 zone midway during the install. Charlie figured out a plan to make that happen. Climate makers was the most reasonabe estimate of the 5 companies I called"

"I contacted AHS warranty for services and a Bell Cow technician, by the name of Terrence Pennington, was dispatched to my home. He was very professional, courteous and quickly identified a faulty part. He was able to get it working before leaving but recommended a replacement. Fortunately so, because it stopped working again later that evening. Upon return to replace the part, he corrected a second problem causing intermittent issues with my upstairs unit. He left his business card and advised to contact him directly if I had anymore issues. He even pulled my trash can back around the house for me. Great service! Will definitely recommend!"

"I got quotes from 4 other companies. Worley's was the only one who looked for and found the water shut off valve behind a shelving unit in my garage.They were very detail oriented. The man who found the turn off valve asked about my water heater. Where was it. He decided that the updated code required a tank to be installed above the water heater. When they did the job of replacing the water line in my front yard, they also put box with a turn off valve in the ground in front of my home. They were very neat and cleaned up after the job was done. All of the men who came here to work were very polite, nice guys."
