Instant Hot Water!
Pacific Beach Plumbing did a great job installing a recirculating hot water pump.  We chose and recommend the Hot Water D'MAND System and are happy.

I highly recommend working with Sauro and his crew. They did a great job on the quality of work and hit the deadlines they bid. We plan on working with them again for any additional work.

Ryan came out on short notice to fix a damaged pipe in the backyard.  He was professional and did the job well and efficiently.  Will definitely call again for any future needs!

Mike has replaced my water heater, cleared drains, and worked on my 20 year old Kohler toilets.   He has always done excellent work and leaves the work area spotless.  He is timely and works efficiently.  Most reliable plumber around!

I reached out to Brian on a Monday morning about a gas leak that we smelled behind our dryer, and by Tuesday morning all our problems were gone. I figured while he was here, he could also install some bathroom sink fixtures that we've had sitting around for a year, so I asked for a quote about that as well.

He quoted me for each of these things over yelp, texted me updates about his arrival time on Tuesday morning, and finished the job quickly and with excellence. His prices were great, he was extremely kind and trustworthy, and I'm going to keep his info in my phone for any future plumbing needs we have!

Sohail Hossini and his partner knocked out a kitchen demo in a day and a half.  He moved the gas connector for my new stove coming in.  He'll be back in two weeks to do the tiling of the backsplash.  This is a no nonsense contractor who gives you a quote in writing, comes on time, does the work quickly, and we couldn't be more pleased.  Thank you

Thank you to Raphael, Carlos and Axel for squeezing us into your busy schedules knowing the rains were coming and our risk of leak was high. We had water leaking into our vents, causing water backups and damage to the inside of the house. Carlos was communicative throughout the process, ran possible solutions by us, consulted with Raphael, and promptly completed our project. We felt they all went above and beyond for us. We felt heard and that our best interests were considered--a rarity, I know! We have now hired them to hook up our tankless heater to our upstairs bathroom. If you are looking for hardworking, trustworthy, and genuinely kind (to our pups too!) professionals, look no further. These guys are wonderful.

Great service, explained everything in detail and helped me get our bathroom situation resolved

Owen is always my go to plumber. We have always had good service in the past. Highly recommend them for any plumbing issues.

I am very pleased with Steve's prompt and accurate assessment of my plumbing issue. He listened to my problem and had me send him a photo via cell phone. He then scheduled me quickly and sent out a tech today. The repair was efficient, effective, and professional and the cost was very reasonable.
Thanks, Steve!

A tenant at a rental property I managed called shortly after Christmas about a plumbing problem related to the garbage disposal.  I called the plumber I normally use, but he was very busy, and couldn't get around to service call for a while.  I gave Clairemont Plumbing a call, and Carolynn said that they were busy as well.  (I guess the plumbing problems go up during the holidays.)  Still, she and Marshall were able to take care of the problem while working around the tenant's work schedule.  Marshall came out that day when the tenant got off of work and replaced the garbage disposal.  

Even though I had never used Clairemont Plumbing before, they were trusting enough to invoice me for the work, and wait for payment.  Since we were getting down to the end of the year, I wanted to be invoiced before December 31st, so that the expense could go in for 2014.  Even with all the work they had, I got the invoice before the end of the year.  

The best part was that despite the time of year and all the schedule juggling Marshall had to do, the cost of the repair was a couple of dollars less than the identical repair a year ago.  (Yeah I know, I am going to have to talk to the tenant about what they put in the garbage disposal around Christmas time.)

BEWARE of this company. Very unprofessional and bad service.

Our water heater pilot kept going out. The manufacturer said it could be a gas pressure issue. The gas company came out, found nothing wrong with the gas pressure, and tagged the water heater as DANGER - Do Not Use due to a floating flame. We called American Home Shield, and they sent out Christati Plumbing, who recognized there was something wrong with the water heater but could not identify the cause of the problem or fix it. American Home Shield then sent out Pacific Tankless. The problem was not a non urgent gas leak, as Pacific Tankless believes.

A bald man with a thick accent (maybe eastern European) from Pacific Tankless showed up at our door wearing sneakers, cargo pants, and a yellow polo T-shirt with the collar up. No uniform. No tools. No boot covers. He had a mask on, but it was not covering his nose. He did not introduce himself and his first (impolite) words to me were Inside or outside? I politely asked him if he had boot covers. Sarcastically, he replied Do you?

We informed the man that the gas company had shut down the water heater as a danger. The man ignored the warning, ripped off the DANGER - Do Not Use tag, and turned on the water heater. The pilot lit, so he said there's nothing wrong with the water heater and left. The man would not listen to us when we mentioned the floating flame problem and the pilot won't stay lit.

AJ, owner of Pacific Tankless, claims the man is a very respected gentleman, ex pro athlete, and expert in his field. A man who acts like that is not very respectable; having been an athlete has nothing to do with anything; and the man did not display any expertise. Also, conspicuously absent from AJ's list is licensed plumber.

A good company will send professionals (in terms of knowledge, speech, and dress) and make sure customers are satisfied with the service. Pacific Tankless did neither.

Pacific Tankless is our worst experience with a plumbing company. We called other plumbers for quotes to repair or replace our water heater. Pacific Tankless was the only company that said there is nothing wrong with our water heater and ignored our concerns. The other companies listened to us and stayed around long enough to see the floating flame.

Overall, our impression of Pacific Tankless is they do not care about fixing the problem but only care about defending their Yelp reviews, some of which do not appear genuine.

In addition to the above, we believe Yelp reviewers should keep in mind two things when considering Pacific Tankless:

First, according to the Contractors State License Board website, AJ has never paid workers compensation insurance because he certified he has no employees. (See attached photos). That raises a serious concern about whether AJ has been misclassifying his technicians as independent contractors to avoid paying payroll taxes and workers compensation premiums.

Second, in his initial response dated 2/11/2021 to my Yelp review dated 12/30/2020, AJ referenced our address. Obviously, that is a violation of privacy. The address has since been removed from AJ's post after it was reported to Yelp.

I called in the morning about a needing a thermostat replacement. Victor and Skylar arrived  later the same day.
They made sure the furnace was working ok and explained how the  furnace worked as they checked it out.  They then replaced the thermostat with one that I wanted - one a simple to operate.
They were both very professional, efficient and pleasant. They checked to make sure the new thermostat worked both for the AC and furnace. I would use Sherlock again.

They were very fair with their pricing for a job moving a gas line in our garage for our stackable dryer.  I got estimates ranging from $250 to $450 (always get estimates!)   These guys showed up on time, did the work and stuck to the price that we agreed on.  

Also, they've moved to Spring Valley from San Carlos.

Highly recommended. Sinks got clogged the night before and the next morning here ready to fix them quickly. Very reliable and respectful. Would 100% recommend him for any of your plumbing needs.

I received a great quote from these guys and great customer service! I absolutely love the job Julian did at my house installing a ceiling fan plus all the electrical. I would absolutely recommend this company for simple and complex electrical jobs.

These guys were great. Had them hardwire a whole house fan that I installed myself (wiring and drywall cutout/switch install was just a little out of my comfort zone). Great communication, and they knocked it out in a few hours.

Will use them again for any electrical projects.

Requested...Repair one sink fixture quoted $100.00 flat rate over the phone....20 minutes later $350.00+ with little or no explanations...

Found another plummer outside of this stupid ANGIE'S LIST and competed the job in and hour for 200.00!!

Be careful out there...especially you seniors...

The service today was awful. CODY  would not honor the quote I was given on the phone. He wanted  tried to explain that the promo was for outside my house. I called the manager Javier who explained that Cody was wrong
Cody then refused to perform the service
I would not recommend this company.
