Chris did a great job. Had a water heater in stock, so was able to complete the job the day he showed up for the estimate. Only 4 Stars, because he was 17% higher cost than competitor, but he was able to complete the job the same day.

We're so pleased that you felt your experience with our wonderful technician Loni was "A" rated! Thank you for the feedback. We'd love to know if there is anything we could have done differently, in your view, to improve our responsiveness. We've worked very hard over the past 52 years to provide the best possible customer service, so If there's a particular reason for the B rating please let us know, as we strive to grow from your feedback.

Discovered our problem on 1/14/19, called the company and had a new water heater delivered and installed by 3 pm on 1/15/19. Chris installed the new heater with new straps and new supports and explained how everything works. We could not be happier with him and the installation. This company is highly recommended for anyone needing a new water heater.

Punctual and efficient. Employee didn't explain much, said they have a standard water heater they use and that's that. I'm ok with that. But others might want more information, to pick something out. I didn't feel like he was scamming me, it's just a standard price. I like that. Nothing unusual or odd additional fees to consider.

Your feedback is important to us, thank you. Yes, we do offer mostly one brand of water heater and this is mainly based on our 50 years of experience with using others. We provide the best possible quality parts, only, to our customers. Our work is always done to code so there can be more to consider in an installation than simply the cost of a water heater.

So use these people if you want to pay top dollar for a water heater. I called them about getting our 50 gallon water heater replaced as it was leaking. The woman on the phone asked for the Model # of the leaking unit. She asked if the unit was outside or in the garage. I told her that the unit is in the garage. She said it would be between $1250 to $1450. Fortunately, I contacted another highly reviewed company who asked me to text them some pictures - which I did. An hour later they sent me a price - $1600 for a fifty gallon unit. Today when the Water Heaters Only guy showed up, he asked me if I wanted a 50 gallon or a 40 gallon unit. I said that probably a 40 gallon unit would be fine since it’s just my wife and I. He quoted a price of $1800!! I told him I already had received a price of $1600 for a fifty gallon unit (which he asked to see). When I showed him the estimate, he said he would lover his price to $1650. Thankfully, I had that $1600 estimate. In the end I had him install the unit despite the fact that this company uses a “bait and switch” approach as I just wanted hot water again. I will NEVER do business with them again.

Called them yesterday and Steve showed up this morning on time, took a look at our old water heater installation and provided a reasonable quote for replacing it with a brand new unit plus a couple related upgrades. He was carrying exactly the unit we wanted so he expertly replaced it in record time. Great experience. Highly recommend.

Originally called to have 20 year old solar heated expansion water tank removed. However we realized the water heater was also 20 years old, well past its expected life span. We were give a quote of $2400 for a new tank, and to take both old tanks away. Was able to schedule for the next day, and took about 3 hours to complete. Professional and courteous.

Thank you so much for your feedback. It's probably been a while since your water heater has been replaces, so it's understandable that the cost now was a bit of a shock. As with everything prices have increased. Another thing that makes a difference is the necessity for work to fully bring the new installation up to code. Please be assured that you now have a safe reliable product that is warrantied and back by our 24/7/365 emergency phone service. Thank you for choosing Water Heaters Only, Inc.

We had the great displeasure of returning from vacation on a Saturday to find our hot water recirculator not working. We then had the great pleasure of talking with a very helpful young lady at Water Heaters Only, who scheduled an appointment, on the following Monday, for a technician to come out for a free assessment and estimate. On Monday we had the further great pleasure of working with the technician, Loni, who arrived on time (after we received a courtesy call from the office letting us know he was on his way). Loni was friendly, professional and knowledgeable, and, after examining our hot water heater and broken pump and asking some pertinent questions, he assessed the water heater was fine, but we did need a new recirculator pump. He gave us a written estimate, and explained why he chose the pump he was recommending, which I really appreciated. He also had a good suggestion for how we could easily set it up on a timer, if we wanted, and at a substantial savings. When I asked when we could schedule the work, he said he had a pump in his truck and was available to do the job immediately. I was so glad to not have to wait, since our water heater is at the opposite end of the house from the bathrooms, and we hated wasting all that water, waiting for it to get hot! Loni worked quickly and efficiently, and upon completion explained how the new/updated pump worked, and said to be sure to call if we had any questions or concerns. What started out as a major inconvenience, became a very pleasant experience overall, working with the office staff and with Loni. We highly recommend them and would definitely call again. Many thanks for the excellent service!

Called Water Heaters Only to see if they would come out to inspect/repair a malfunctioning water heater (pilot light out and wouldn't come on). They explained their price for service, told me that my water heater was not a standard one that they install, and that depending on the problem, they may have to order the part and return to install it when it arrived. They also gave me the phone number to my water heater manufacturer in case I wanted to call them. I was able to call the manufacturer and they successfully walked me through the process of lighting the pilot light. While I did not use their services, I though it was very honest and professional of them to explain their process (and any limitations) and offer me the number to the manufacturer. I will certainly consider them when I need to get a new water heater.

My heater was in a tight space and right next to furnace.The technician Mr.Peni from water heaters only comes in and had a look and he knows its bit tough to get the old heater out from the tight space but he gives me full confidence and comes in on time and gets the job done in 2 hours..Great Job and makes my life easier..I think Price wise its the best and seems like they quote only for the work.

They showed up promptly and assessed the water heater leak. We discussed several options and decided the best choice was to replace with a new gas tank water heater. A nearby supplier had one in stock. The old unit was removed and the new one installed in the same day. In fact, including travel time to the supplier, total time for the job was less than 3 hours.

Dan showed up at 3 pm and evaluated the work and gave me a fair cost for the total job. Dan was very professional, explaining every step of the process. He is enthusiastic, tidy and as expected by his expertise, he performed an outstanding job. My wife and I were we happy when we finally had hot water for our showers since we left Mexico the previous day. Dan took away our broken water heater, cleaned up everything and left us with an excellent impression of a job well done by a professional. We would highly recommend Dan and Water Heaters Only.
Description of Work: The Friday night we returned from our vacation, we found our hot water heater was broken. On Saturday morning, I called around and checked Angie's List. I contacted Water Heaters Only in Redwood City, CA. and spoke to Paul. After querying me as to the age of my broken water heater, he suggested a new water heater be installed. All work has to pass Palo City inspections, be earthquake proofed, and other safety measures be installed. I agreed to have work done with Water Heaters Only and he gave me a verbal estimate. A plumbing professional will be at my home between 2 pm and 6 pm.
