Response from Fast Water Heater Company
We apologize to this customer. The root cause of the issue was actually the water heater. We installed an Eternal tankless water heater at this home. This unit has had large scale issues across the spectrum and we have recalled over half of the units we installed. The initial installation instructions from the manufacturer were actually incorrect. We have ended up pulling out over half of these units and the manufacturer is not standing by the product. We understand why the customer is frustrated. This was not actually an installation issue but is a problem that is widespread and common with this product. We obviously no longer install it. We are very sorry about this customer's experience.

Description of Work: Fast water heater was very professional. I could tell their intention was to eliminate any snags up front over the phone so that the install would be smooth and have no surprised. I called and they had me walk through the area my current water heater is installed with a tape measure. They ask for the serial number on the water tank and could tell the exact size of my current tank based on the serial number. They then ask me to measure different spaces around the water heater and describe the length of the conduit and water supply going to the tank. It was actually an accident that I found out that Fast Water heater planned on keeping my rebate. Once I expressed my excitement of getting such a great deal, the installer clarified that Fast Water heater company would be processing and keeping the rebate. He then explained that the water heater price is $1,700 and that it came with a stainless steel life time tank, a ten year warranty on parts and that it heated water on heat pump mode all the way down to 30 degrees F. I told him that it sounds like a great deal, but that I do not NEED to replace my water heater now and I am only doing so because I thought the offer was such a steal. I explained that with Fast Water Heater Company keeping the $800 rebate from PSE, that I would rather wait for the replacement. The installer understood and ask me to call Angie's List for a refund of the coupon. The refund process has been hassle free. Just validation of my information and a quick form to make sure the rebate is legitimate. I enjoy working with companies who's policies and practices express good intention. I would say my experience with Angie's List and Fast Water Heater Company were both. I would suggest that whoever approved the language of the coupon however would be invited to reconsider the language they choose on future offers.

Description of Work: The service was excellent. I was contacted promptly and have nothing negative to say about Fast Water Heater Co. In fact, I highly recommend this company. I just don't need a new water heater and was not aware of that fact until I spoke with a customer service representative.

Terrible, see above paragraph.
Description of Work: AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! My water heater failed last week over New Years and this was the company that could get out to me quickly and they also had the lowest (phone) estimate by about $50. Ok so they said that the total cost for a new heater install would be $695 with a $75 Angies List discount. When the installer Dale arrived at my home I got a call soon thereafter in which he prattled off roughly 20 things that he would need to do to bring the install "up to code." I was informed that the job would actually cost over $2000!! Dale said he would need to do all those prep things in order to do the install or my other choice was to have him install a Noritz tankless water heater, which would also be over $2000. He said he would be able to do the install of the Noritz the next day and that the office manager Abby would call me to schedule a time. After I stopped panicking I decided to take the time to get a second opinion. Abby did call within 5 minutes, not suprising since I'm sure they were biting at the bit to get an extra 1300 or so off the duped customer. I called George Morlan and told them I needed a second opinion and that I had a guy saying he needed to do thousands of dollars worth of work (such as drywall and pour concrete) in order to do a simple water heater install. The most hilarious part of Dale's quote was that he wanted no less than $450 to pour a tiny patch of concrete. Like the size of the base of a 40 gallon water heater tiny! The woman said she could get someone here the next day and to her it sounded like hogwash because it's right in the state code that if there is a heater installed it could be installed the same exact way. Ok so to make a long story short the nicest guy came out from George Morlan and I didn't mention anything about Dale; I wanted to see if he even mentioned a thing about it being a difficult or unnusual job. He didn't!!! He had absolutely no trouble and was done in the two hours they gave him to install it. The total cost was $749 and it was permitted and everything is kosher! It has the permit sticker right on it!! Moral of the story is don't be fooled by their lowest price phone quote because I assure you this company will not think twice about stealing from unwitting customers!!! The trick their using is to give a low phone estimate for a standard water heater and then telling customers that there is something unusual about the space, or that a tankless model would be a better fit for the home. Because it's more expensive!

Response from Fast Water Heater Company
I reviewed the photographs of this job (which we did not do). This customer had *massive* corrosion issues due to improper venting and possible CO (carbon monoxide) leakage. The vent was also a fire hazard going onto the roof as it was single wall going into a combustible space. There was also substantial damage to what looked like a longterm slow leak on the structure below the water heater. There is no way George Morlan replaced all that vent work for the price the customer cited. They most likely put the tank in without touching the vent. Reviewing the photos - the water heater is very likely leaking CO. We strongly recommend you get another opinion. Since this is actually an Oregon job, it's only inspected 10% of the time. In your case, we recommend you call and request an inspection.

Description of Work: They installed a water heater that broke three weeks later. One of the coils was burnt out and they blamed us for breaking it. If our contractor had not been standing right there to see the water heater spill out, we would have had another flood. My husband finally had to talk to their boss to get the heating coil replaced. They eventually put in a new one, but so far it has been working.

Description of Work: This company is the real deal!!My GAS water heater died, so I called at least 8 companies; ALL of which quoted me $900-1200 + tax with 6yr warranty. In fact one company on Angies List gave me what I thought was a reasonable quote for a gas htr of $775+tax, so I had them come out. When they arrived, they said "OH, it's gas! No no we will have to come back w/a gas heater and it will be $900-1000 + tax! So, I finally got a hold of FAST and they quoted me $749 + tax minus a $75 AL discount and it was for GAS!!! I saved hundreds of dollars AND they were professional, emailed me a confirmation & their service policy, they were punctual and gave me great service!! I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Very well
Description of Work: This company replaced our 10+ year old water heater with a larger one which contributed to the price, Every thing went very well. I should have shopped around a little on price just to compare but I needed fast service and they provided it. Plus, both the office staff, and the installer were very knowledgeable, so I felt comfortable with the porcess. The installer actually called the next day to make sure that every thing was going ok.

I covered it above.
Description of Work: We replaced our old water heater, which was about 9 years old. They were very good in terms of providing information. Their estimation process is very flexible as well. They bring a couple of different water heaters and give a more accurate estimate on site. If you choose not to get the job done, they take it back. We had the job done. The service was good. We had to bring ours up to code which raised the cost steeply. I suspect that their service is good but they might be a little pricey. Overall we had a good experience.
