"Unbelievable customer service. I’ve needed a new water heater for a while, been calling around for quotes. And this was the best!! They came out within a day and took out the old water heater and installed the new one within a few hours. Their customer service was top notch, their install was great and their clean up was very thorough and best of all was the price!"

"The plumber spent a lot of time just trying to figure out the source of the hidden leak. He had a lot of patience. The quality of work was good as was the price. I would definitely hire them again."

"David sold this water heater replacement job to me with his knowledge, professionalism, kindness, and accuracy of what to expect. Jose is a fantastic installer. After he finished, he took the time to explain to me what I needed to know to operate the water heater. I did get cheaper bids but for the money I spent this group was the right call for me. They went above the call of duty to make sure everything was handled correctly. This includes the verification phone call. Thank you young lady."

"I Called to get an in person quote for a tankless water heater flush and left this job with a whole house filter and a fridge connection. When Michael first arrived we inspected the tankless unit and tested the water to conclude flushing was not my best option. He then walked me through my options for home filters and we decided on a Halo system. Michael was very well educated on the subject and gave me the best value filter for my needs. He installed the unit the next day in less than a few hours and left me with a flawless work of art. I couldn't be more impressed with the professionalism he brings to this trade! I also requested to hook up a fridge and he did that in what seemed like 30 minutes. He will be the only plumber I call from now on!! Thank you Michael!!!"

"We’ve had so many plumbing projects over the years and have always used Rapid Rescue. They have replaced our water heater, completely plumbed two bathrooms & worked on the house mainline as well as the gas line and hooking up the water lines for the washer & dryer. They are honest, reliable and affordable. The work they have done has been top notch and it lasts. I highly recommend Wes and Rapid Rescue for all of your plumbing needs."

"Ruben is a great guy. We had issues with the first water heater (brand new). The manufacturer and distributor are not helpful in pinning down the problem â it took three weeks to finally fix the â brand newâ Bradford White water heater (I canâ t believe this). However, Ruben closely worked with me and spent lots of effort to get this done. I really appreciated his patience and effort. I will hire him again in the future."

"Kayvan was a wonderful service tech! He was on time and professionally checked out the water heater and the HVAC system. He was so polite and friendly. He explained the need for a new filter in the heating unit and showed me photos of the unit located in the attic. He also offered to do a friendly deed for free, which I greatly appreciated, He’s a great asset to Service Champions!"

"Awesome! From quote to ordering, delivery and install couldn’t have gone any smoother or easier. Absolutely delighted with their quality of work and follow-through! There was a cabinet there and they removed the cabinet and installed and framed new dishwasher."
