Everything was great from start to finish. Very nice people to deal with by phone getting it arranged and in person with the technicians who installed the new hot water heater. Same day installation was amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

DRF negligently installed a water heater in my home and caused a water leak that damaged my neighbor's unit. DRF has refused to take any steps to repair the damage they caused for over a month.

The intake person was very good, asked relevant questions, and helpEd me determine the most appropriate electric water heater. The installer, however, didn’t Know how to read our circuit board and thought it couldn’t handle the water heater so he took It back. I called another place, the water heater was more expensive and was smaller. Because I needed to Have Hot water I took what was available. I’m not happy with it as not everyone gets a hot shower. I’m even more annoyed because our circuit board could have handled The larger size.

Thanks for your feedback - we're sorry that we were not able to install your new water heater. We are a plumbing contractor - not electricians - and since our technician was not able to verify that the new water heater could be safely installed using the same electrical circuit as your old water heater, we suggested a consult with an electrician, Since you declined, we were not able to complete your installation. From your comments, it sounds like the company you subsequently hired installed a water heater that's not meeting your needs. Hopefully that company will work with you to resolve the inadequacies with the unit you purchased from them.

Came out the same day to replace the water heater, within two hours. Installation was quick and the site was left clean. The gentleman who replaced the water heater also explained steps on how to work with the new water heater. A bit pricey, but overall very satisfied.

Efficient and professional service. I purchased a new toilet at Home Depot, which was delivered the day before. Prearranged installation service went smoothly. DRF technicians came out the next day and worked quickly. The entire process took less than an hour and the old toilet and all waste materials were removed. I was impressed with the speed and quality of their work. I would definitely use this service again.

Very poor experience. It became clear very quickly this company will try to overcharge and I'm surprised Home Depot uses them. I plan to discuss with Home Depot and strongly suggest they consider an alternative. We finally were able to switch to another company for the install but they insisted on keeping $400 just to remove the old tankless water heater from the wall.. which took them all of 30 minutes! Other company said they would have charged $125. Terribly unreasonable! Also they were very slow to return our calls.

Thank you for your feedback regarding replacement of a tankless water heater. Our original quote that you accepted included two trips to your home - one to remove the non-functioning unit and a second to install the replacement unit. Since this was a warranty replacement, we were able to reduce our original quote by $796 (the water heater itself was covered by the manufacturer warranty but was past the period for replacement labor coverage). After the first trip to remove the non-functioning unit, you decided to cancel the installation, so all that was charged was $400 for the first service visit by our licensed technician to remove the non-functioning unit - and we provided a refund of your initial deposit less this amount for the services we provided. We apologize for any miscommunication or response delays on our part. We respect your decision to choose another provider to complete your installation and hope that you've been able to have hot water restored to your home.

Excellent, same-day service! Could have gotten a little cheaper with a local guy but he was not available, and with an old heater already leaking water in the finished basement, needed a replacement pronto. The work done by Brian and Brandon was exceptional. They came within 1 hour after I made my purchase through Home Depot and were fully prepared and had everything needed. Much to my amazement, they finished the whole job in under 2 hours. Excellent work and it looks great, too (if you can think of a great-looking Rheem water heater). Now if it only lasts as long the 37-year old original heater that was just replaced, I will be really, REALLY happy!!

The job was scheduled through Home Depot, where I had found the model I wanted. The two-man crew arrived on time and the entire job, which included some updates necessary to meet local code requirements, was completed in about 2 hours. I had previously obtained a quote from a local contractor who was highly rated on Angie's List, but I rejected it because the price seemed excessive and their proposal was not for the brand of heater I wanted. Going with DRF Trusted Property Solutions saved me about $600 compared to the other contractor.
