Best Boiler Services in Oakland CA

Ramnar is a great person with which to work.  He is responsive, friendly, and gets the job done.  We have a new house along the coast and needed to finish it off and the radiant system/house domestic boiler was the last thing.  Our general contractor was inefficient and their plumbing sub had passed away.  We contacted Ramnar and he immediately checked things out and made recommendations.  It was obvious that he specializes in radiant and water heaters.   We literally gave him the key to the property and he got things done, with no problems.  He also made recommendations for the latest thermostats and configured them for us.

When our other plumbers could not find the time to install a gas line for a PG&E meter drop, Ramnar was courteous enough to match their price and get the work done (which included a gas run to a deck fire pit).

Ramnar is trustworthy, smart and a friendly person who gets things done.  He's never too busy to talk on the phone, email or text.  In a world of flaky contractors, Ramnar is very dependable and genuinely a super nice person.  He deserves the highest ratings and all these fine examples on Yelp are honest.  If you are considering building a house or installing radiant, use a specialist like Ramnar (he's been all over the world installing and is settled in Northern California).  Many plumbers do not specialize like he does.  If you are a general contractor, he would be my go to guy for anything radiant and/or domestic boilers.  He's the only call to make for our next house, remodel or upgrade (we plan on using him again!)

Thanks, Ram!!!!

For basic repairs, service is good, but If you are looking for a quick response, avoid this company.

Although we had used their services several times in the past, when we had a flooded basement we were informed they don't work past 4 PM.

Requests to speak with an owner deadended with managers who failed to address concerns.

Not recommended. The worst experience ever! Price gougers! Not happy with the lack of knowledge of water fill line of the toilet.  Do yourself a favor and find a true local business that charges a fair  price.

The technician was not aware that the the water level in your toilet tank should sit one to two inches below the toilet's fill valve and/or overflow tube. That is a cause of slow flush.

$358.68 to change a fill valve and flapper. $270 to hand snake a small vanity sink. It is really disappointing they would choose to take advantage of homeowners with their unjustifiable prices.

I paid $95 for them to come out. Now, I have to adjust the fill valve and clear out the sink pipes myself.

Great service.  These guys were fast, upfront about pricing, and incredibly polite making a big effort to avoid leaving any mess.  We had our toilet back up, they snaked the sewer line and inspected it for free.  Seems we finally needed to replace it.  Tons of plant root had invaded the line.  It was a huge job but they came back the next morning digging outside working under the house.  When they finished you couldn't tell they were ever there! Two days of work and we only needed to stop using the water for an hour and a half.  Fantastic!

$1000 to install 3 faucet sets in 2 bathrooms. WOW!

And that's not including the cost of the fixtures, plus 2 of the 3 bathrooms had modern angle valves and hoses. VERY slow moving, took 2 guys 2 weeks to complete. One way to pad the labor bill seems to be writing very long winded, muti-page reports of what was done. (Do you really think we don't notice that?) I thought the work was Ok, but the home inspector faulted the cracked drain pipe connector of one of them on the report. Last time I tried them, in 2012, I was not happy with the charges either, but it has gotten way worse. I got the sense from what one said, that maybe I was being punished for not buying the fixtures from their Home Center somehow. I guess that's the new idea business model, sell remodels not plumbing. Get a fixed bid on anything these people do.

All of the great reviews are justified.  I called Mr. Harrison this morning because I thought my furnace had died, and it was really cold in the house.  He was out within a few hours and determined that the pilot light wouldn't stay on because something was too dirty.  He cleaned it off, and the heater started working again.  I also learned that the furnace should be cleaned and serviced on a yearly basis.  I will certainly do this because I don't want to have the cost of replacing the furnace.  Mr. Harrison was professional, knowledgeable, and a nice guy.  I have already put on my calendar to call Mr. Harrison in the fall to come out to do the service.  I highly recommend him.

After such a good experience with Providence Water Heaters, it compelled me to write my first Yelp review.

I originally contacted Anthony about a pilot light that kept going out on our water heater.  From the first conversation, Anthony inspired confidence and trust.  He explained what was happening, which was a pinhole leak in the tank which started rusting.

I've heard nightmares of water heaters flooding the house, so I asked Anthony for a quote to replace our tank.  I was curious about tankless and Anthony walked me through all of the benefits of a tankless water heater.  I really appreciate his patience answering my many questions.  I never felt pressured and believe Anthony wanted to help us find the best option for our needs and budget.

We decided to go with a tankless water heater.  The installation experience was fantastic.  When draining the water out of the old tank, Anthony showed us the dirty water with chunks of rust coming out.  It was reassuring to see proof of the rust issue on our old tank and know I'm working with an honest, reputable company.  Anthony takes pride in his work and it really shows in the final installation.  

Before leaving, Anthony took care to leave the area clean, haul away all of the garbage and our old tank.  He also walked us through how everything works and thoroughly tested the new water heater.  

We love our new tankless water heater.  Not only has our gas bill gone down, but we have unlimited hot water and gained valuable space in the garage!  Thank you Anthony!

Excellent and professional service, estimate, and quality products. Thank you for taking on such a large project and competing the job on time.
