Description of Work: Our Rinnai water heater stopped working. I had no idea what to do, so I went to Angie's list, typed in Rinnai and called Fitch's. He diagnosed several possible causes, set a time to come to my house, outlined what would be done and estimated the cost. He kept me informed throughout the process. His first diagnosis was correct. He fixed the problem and charged the amount he had estimated. Hot water never felt so good!

Description of Work: We had Fitch install a tank-less water heater about 9 months ago. Tonight (Friday) the alarm went off. Since the unit is in the attic, I can't reach it. If I could, he would have been able to give me instructions over the phone. Instead, he drove to my home in Chesapeake and remedied the matter. That's outstanding customer service.

Excellent
Description of Work: We used Fitch Specialties,LLC to install a new Rinnai Tankless Water Heater this past Tuesday. It was refreshing to work with a consummate professional in the midst of what we were having to deal with. The week before our home had been hit by lightning and caught on fire and the hot water heater was damaged. We had gotten several estimates from several companies to replace what we already had and/or to go tankless. After meeting with Tim we were encouraged and decided to go tankless and have not regretted our decision. We are thankful for his concern and timeliness in our situation. We would not hesitate to recommend this company and have already. We have even called to schedule other work for our home for other plumbing damage from the fire.

Good.
Description of Work: Showed up and or called when they were going to be late. Did not like the fact that they brought the wrong tank with them but he gave me a break on the cost even though it felt like a bait and switch they installed it quickly. I referred them to my son in April to have his tank moved. I also used them to replace a shower valve and they arrived when they said they would and it cost me less then what I was quoted.

Response from Fitch Specialties LLC
I appreciate your being candid about our service call. I really hate that it felt like a bait and switch. The Ruud water heater we sold you has the same warranty and is in no way inferior to the AO Smith brand we quoted you. This Ruud 50 gallon water heater we supplied actually has a larger capacity than the original AO Smith 40 gallon water heater and was sold to you for the same price. Noland Company, my water heater supplier, was kind enough to sell the water heater to me pretty close to the same amount a 40 gallon heater would have cost me. I absorbed the remainder. The reason for the confusion was because I sent my employee to pick up the water heater and he did not know it was supposed to be an AO Smith heater. The supply house loaded the wrong heater onto the truck. Thats why they were willing to help with the cost. Our price for this type of change out on this type of heater is about $200.00 dollars less than the normal price that others would charge. The cost of the installation is the same as the free estimate provided the month prior. I am happy that you felt comfortable enough with us to use us again and then recommend us to your family as well.
