"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 got home from work and discovered that my water heater had a major leak that required shutting off the water to the house. Carl at Cali Water Heater responded immediately and less than 24 hours later I had a new water heater installed, water restored, and all at a fair price. Highly recommend!"

"Water Heater Masters were top-notch! I called on a Saturday afternoon - they were available 9am Sunday morning to come and inspect and quote. They only had one guy working that day, but scheduled me for Monday morning between 8 and 9. At 8:15am I got a call with an ETA of 8:45, which was a really nice touch! Despite telling me it would take an entire day to install, they were done by 1pm. They also found some creative ways to do the install to avoid drilling through my stucco (for the exhaust vent and for the condensate run-off). Very professional and clean-looking install. These guys may not always be the cheapest around, and they recommended a top-of-the-line heater (which is what I really wanted anyway), but I'd much rather pay a little extra for that level of service and support. Thank you!"

"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."

"Water heater went out and decided to go with tankless. Ron is great. Quick response. On site same day. Smart. Gave me proposed costs and answered any questions. Matt did the installation. Great work. I will use Beastbay again. No doubt about it."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Albert Nahman Plumbing was helpful and extremely professional. The work done by Nicholas was resourceful (involving hooking up a new heater with different requirements into a gas supply and vent system installed thirty years earlier) and carefully executed. He's a knowledgeable, courteous, and highly skilled professional."

"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."
