Kevin was the main installer on this job and truly knew this trade. After removing the old water heater he went over the list of code requirements that were necessary in putting in a new water heater. This included a blow out valve and piping, etc. We purchased the new water heater via an Angie's special sale. What was most notable about this purchase was the care and attention Kevin gave to the smallest details of installation. Whether it was leveling the heater in place or insuring the earthquake straps were secure to drilling through the garage wall to extend the blow out valve piping he was meticulous and made the installation look like a mechanical sculpture. He is to be commended for his quality of workmanship. Very pleased with the product and work.

I purchased Angie List deal on 4/12 in the afternoon. I received an email response by Jake the project coordinter within a couple of hours. I called 4/13 and had it scheduled for 4/14. The installer Dean arrived 1/2 hour earlier than scheduled. He was very nice, informative and honest. He was done with the job within an hour and half. He did a great job and made sure everything was done properly. I would recommend this company..

I decided to write this review because their price is about two times the price of two other quotes I just got; keep in mind they did not perform the work. Asked for quote to re install an existing gas water heater. Said they only (re) installed GE/? brand that were in warranty & price would $499 plus parts to make code. This is ~twice the price just quoted from two other plumber businesses. I originally installed this heater in less that one hour; current work is being performed under an insurance claim..

We apologize in October of 2014 we changed our entire dispatch/computer system. It did lead to longer hold times but we have recovered at this point. We apologize for the hold and understand why you were frustrated.

I live in Georgia; the rental property is in Los Angeles, California. I went on Angie's List and reviewed several providers in the zip code of the property and compared them to the product and installation costs. I selected Fast Water Heater. They were very accommodating in providing service during the time a neighbor could be there to provide them access. They were running behind but made an heroic effort to meet the time frame I had requested. The installer was very professional and contacted me in Georgia to alert me that the codes had changed and that I would need to replace the vent system. While the final cost was more than I had anticipated through no fault of Fast Water Heater, I appreciated that I received prompt and professional service. I would not hesitate to use their services or recommend them again.
Description of Work: installed a 50 gallon tank water heater and brought the venting up to code.

From start to finish, this transaction went very well. I bought the $847 special on their Angie's List site. Scheduler Ryan called me the next day and was very professional. Set up the appt for today, Saturday, between 9-12. Technician Kevin Clement called at 9:00 to say he'd be there at 9:30. He worked quickly and was very thorough. Explained everything, earthquake strapped the new water heater and left the area very neat. Kevin was very friendly and knowledgeable, and I wouldn't hesitate to use this vendor again!

Found our water heater pan full of water - it was time for our 20yr old water heater to get replaced. This isn't something that ever happens at a convenient time. We discovered this problem at 9pm Monday evening, found the Angie's List big deal an hour later, and called Fast Water Heater about 7:30a the next morning. The rep who answered the phone was thorough in his description of what the deal included, asked a few questions to ensure that they had everything they needed to make the replacement (old model number, capacity etc.) and we set the appointment for between 9:30a and 12:30p the same day. Their technician called ahead of time as promised, and arrived around 10:30a. He reviewed the install with me, made a few suggestions (no hard sell - all were valid per my research), asked for the Angie's List Big Deal order info, and started to work. Reinaldo was courteous, efficient, and finished about an hour and a half later. Quick and relatively painless - 30min later we had plenty of hot water and hopefully won't need another for a good long while. 3 days later and we're still quite pleased with the work.

Technician showed up and said water heater was too big to fit in closet 23" and opening was only 21 inches wide. The replacement was spec'd at 21 inches wide and the opening was 22 inches. Then the excuse was they could not replace a working water heater. I him I did not want a warranty replacement, and then a supervisor said the only thing they had was an inferior 6 year unit. Bottom line, is they want quick garage change-out units to make a fast $500. If you have an outside install or need plumbing done--go someplace else. Worst customer service and attitude, complete bait and switch, and then bail when they were called on it. Left without installing tank.
Description of Work: This service was contracted through our local Home Depot to replace an existing 12 year 50 gallon water heater, with a model spec'd at store. Home Depot guarantees same day replacement if called in before Noon. Called at 10:30 am and was on hold for 25 minutes. Finally got through and said they could not get out until next day, but would offer a $50 discount with a three hour window the next day. Switched me from a Home Depot tank (Rheem) to a GE, and would not accept Home Depot credit card for payment.

Alfredo the tech was very pleasant, prompt and professional. The job was complicated by extra plumbing that was in the way from the recirculating water pump. He was able to handle all of this ease. he taught me a little about plumbing as I watched the job get done. I would request him if you use this company. J. Mayo

Price quoted was ~$750 but they added many addons that they convinced us that the city inspector would require, which tripled the price. One item they convince us to install they did not have on the truck and had to come back later. We never did get an inspection and could have optioned not to take all the addons.

I signed up with them via Home Depot, which means permits are automatically done - which was what we wanted anyway. Calling them directly may yield a better price/coupons can be used and permits would be up to the homeowner. I was very happy with the service/price. The installation went fast and smooth without any hiccups. I think it was a little under 3 hours for everything - including initial quote/discussion/etc. The permit/inspection went perfect and everything was great. I would definitely call them again.
Description of Work: Had them install a standard 30 gallon gas water heater to replace old one.

Our experience with Fast Water Heater Company was terrific....from the interaction with Angie's List, our phone call to Rob (the service scheduler), his prompt scheduling expertise (same day service!), and Ryan's expert installation...all exceptionally professional, very prompt, and clean. Ryan also did a thorough job of explaining the work and the associated options. He was extremely careful inside and outside our home, completed the job in about 2.5 hours, and he left no "plumberly residue". Great job! Although I don't want to replace water heaters very frequently, I'd recommend the Fast Water Heater Company team to any homeowner in need. This is extreme customer service at its finest! Very Well Done! Thank You, John Saia Rolling Hills Estates
