★★★★★
We had our tankless water heater fail on a Friday afternoon around 2 PM. I called another company and was told they couldn't get to it until the following week.
I then called Tim, The Water Heater Guy. We had guests visiting from overseas and needed hot water restored as quickly as possible.
Tim responded immediately, explained our options, and promised to get it done that evening.
He delivered exactly as promised, did a great job, and our guests were saved from taking cold showers.

★★★★★
I had a leaking water heater. Called Tim, the Water Heater guy, and he gave me a very competitive price and was able to promptly come out and perform the repair. Tim arrived right on time, was very thorough in describing the issue and the steps he needed to take, and installed a new brass drain valve in place of the old leaking plastic valve. Tim also provided some good tips on how to keep the water heater running efficiently going forward. I’d highly recommend Tim for any Water Heater service or installation activities you may have!

Tim was able to provide a same-day inspection and arrived exactly when he said he would. He took the time to thoroughly diagnose the issue and clearly explain my options without any pressure or unnecessary upselling.
We ultimately replaced the water heater, and Tim went above and beyond with the installation, including important safety and performance upgrades. His workmanship was excellent, the installation was clean, and he thoroughly tested everything before finishing the job.
We even upgraded to a larger tank, which our family has been very happy with. Based on the experience, expertise, and quality of work, I felt it was an excellent value. We also signed up for annual maintenance.
I highly recommend Tim, The Water Heater Guy.
