If you're looking for opportunistic plumbers to take your money, then these are the guys.
My tankless water heater stopped working yesterday. The water in our neighborhood went out, and the computerized unit shut down. I googled tankless water heater repair and Bragg Plumbing came up, so I called.
The technician I talked with, clearly didn't want to come look at the heater. He went on and on about what a piece of junk the model was and that it should just be replaced. I convinced him to come and look at it anyway which he did today. He claimed to be an expert on the model from years of experience working with them. After fiddling with it for a few minutes, he told me that it was the computer board.
He gave me an estimate of $1,500 to repair the unit, and said it would be two to three weeks to get parts. He recommended I just replace the unit and gave me an estimate of $5,000. I did research and a unit our size can be purchased for less than $1,000. I asked him why so much, and he said that installation parts and labor would add to the cost.
After he left, I called another plumber.
The second plumber came out, opened the front panel, and pressed a hidden reset button. The water heater was fixed in less than one minute! It cost me $65.
I called Bragg again to ask why their expert didn't think to press the reset button. They gave me lame excuses and no apology.
Don't bother with these people. They don't know what they're doing, except trying to get people to pay for unnecessary repairs.
