Back around 1/18/2019,or so, my gas water heater stopped working. It is only 7.5 years old, and after doing some research as to how long they' 'typically' last, I thought, well, it shouldn't really be sputtering out on me quite yet. However, I reluctantly resigned myself to the fact I would have to pay out to have a whole new system installed. I called Water Heaters Only, Inc., early evening a couple of days later and had no problem at all getting through to someone. When I relayed my sob story about not having any hot water, the young lady who took my call graciously offered to try and get someone to my home that same night to take care of it. I assured her I could hold on an extra day or two since I had made it this far.
We scheduled for someone to come out on the 21st and I was given a window of time I could expect the technician to call and let me know when he was headed my way. Sure as anything, I got a phone call late that afternoon and was assured by the caller he would arrive at my house shortly.
As soon as I answered the door, I IMMEDIATELY felt at ease because I was greeted not by one, but by TWO gentlemen!!!! They were both incredibly kind and professional both in appearance and demeanor. Trevor and Dillon went right out to my laundry room to assess the situation. Now....here is where they had a prime opportunity to take advantage of the situation because the room was crowded with things I had pulled away from the walls to allow access to my water heater. I left Trevor and Dillon alone in the room to work on the problem. This could have been the perfect opportunity to scam me and sell me a bill of goods, but rather than do that, Trevor called me back into the laundry room and informed me the pilot light had simply blown out. He took the time to explain how this could have happened and let me know that the area around the base of my water heater needed to be vacuumed out to allow for better air flow. He also showed me how to restart the pilot light should I ever encounter this situation again, along with explaining some other things to me, including what signs to look for that would indicate a need to replace my water heater. Trevor gave me the option of getting a new one IF I felt so inclined, but NEVER did he EVER try to use high pressure or scare tactics to try and sell me something I clearly did not need to buy, at least, HOPEFULLY for not a few more years!
Before leaving, Trevor engaged me in some 'small talk' even though I am sure he had more calls to take care of. He was so very kind and courteous and truly made me feel like I mattered, not only as a customer, but as a person. I have to say, both he and Dillon were stellar representatives of this company!
I purchased my current water heater from this company and will have ZERO hesitation to buy my next one through them when that time comes based on my experiences and the level of professionalism I experienced starting from the moment I called to ask for help, clear through to the point where the job was finished and the gentlemen headed out to go to wherever it was they were headed. I can say with complete sincerity, if you are in need of a water heater repair or replacement, you really need to give these folks a try. They are truly interested in giving their customers the level of service one should expect to receive when hiring a company to perform a job.
