Best Water Heater Repair in Oakland CA

I am very impress!! Starting with the lady that answers the call Charlene very nice, professional and approachable. Nick came to our house and we discuss the problem with our sewer.  It needed replacement. They came at the appointment date. Joel explained the job, nick was sick at the time but he came at the later part. They always left the site clean. They talked to me if there was any issue before proceeding with the work. When it was done, the city inspector even mentioned to my husband that it was one of the best job he inspected in months. I was pleased to hear that!! Thanks to all of the workers!

We needed a faucet installed in an existing sink. Also the garbage disposal, which the company advised us to replace. This was done efficiently. Also our new cooktop had to be connected to the existing gas line. all was done correctly.
Communication was excellent and the tech showed up on time.
My only concern is that the fee seemed high. We were charged $850 for these two projects which took under two hours. I didn't get competing quotes so I can't be sure. Maybe plumbers make $400 an hour now but I doubt it.

My toilet clogged up on Friday. Roto Rooter came out, told me they couldn't augur the toilet because the problem was further down the line. I had roots and scaling in the pipe from my house to the street. They weren't able to do anything today (so toilet still out of order) but they would see if they could fit me in next week. The price? $18,000. You read that right: 18 THOUSAND DOLLARS and they were leaving me with a toilet I still couldn't use.

The good people of Yelp recommended Abraham at Major General. Abraham came this afternoon, augured the toilet and told me I needed a new one. This lined up with what other plumbers have been telling me for years. He told me he could do everything for $1400 total. You read that right: 14 HUNDRED DOLLARS. And I can use my toilet tonight!

Very professional honest techs they always clean up after. Really like this company.

Tsering & his competent team just finished installing our sewer lateral. UNBELIEVABLE!! What a company- on time efficient clean thorough & certificate of compliance all in the blink of an eye! Truly professional. And Lhakpa kept us updated throughout the rainy days. As if they had never been here on our busy street (Richmond, EC). TEN STARS. WOULD THAT ALL COMPANIES WERE AS PLEASANT & EFFICIENT!! Thank you Tsering & Lhakpa. Mike&Melissa

Quick professional response to our backed up garage drain on a Sunday morning. Thank you! Price was reasonable for emergency work. Ben had previously installed a new water heater for us.

I've been wanting to install a tankless water heater for some time now.  I wasn't expecting my water heater to fail on me as soon as it did, but things happen.  I went out and bought a tankless and then started looking for companies to do the install as that's the only way to preserve the warenty.   I had three different companies in mind, but Innovative Radiant Heating was the company I went with more for the fact that they're local and I like to support local businesses.  We talked, got a quote, and they showed up on time to do the work.  They did a great job and were pleasant to talk to.  Everything works great, and we're stoked.  I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this type of installation.

Gil was reliable and helper fixed the leak at home. He was cost effective and highly reliable.

Great rip off company-the worker said he gets a percentage-money-that the company makes all the money-he gave me his number to call him directly-

This is my second review just to say thank you to a company for steering me to PG&E for a free inspection of a heater. These guys filled me in a bit more on what might be involved and I sure appreciate it. I'll be back as needed!

Friday night we noticed our 15-year old (!) water heater had sprung a leak. The next morning I called a Big Box store first, and did not like the sales pitch. I went to Yelp for additional ideas, and ended up calling Plumbing Care. Glad I did! Tyler showed up within the 10 am - noon window promised, wearing a mask; he inspected the job, and quickly talked me through the options. I made my choice and he left for about an hour to pick up the new unit. By about 3 pm, we had hot water again. I don't anticipate any problems when the inspector reviews it, everything looks shipshape and up to code. I would definitely call Plumbing Care again.

Great service and great communication. Fast responses and very knowledgeable! Def recommend.

From the time we called, Amanda had to quote to us promptly Ayer we sent photos of the old heater, it's location and passage way. Time was set for replacement and the contractor, Jordan was an excellent worker explaining things as he worked.   An excellent experience.

Ray was my go-to plumber for a few years. He was generally available, his prices were reasonable, and he did good work. But then he started to grow and his prices went up. It seemed like his employees were just less adept at getting the job done quickly. Eventually, I experienced a serious sewer problem on a large building, and his bid was way out of line with the other bidders on a job of several thousand dollars. I'm not saying don't use Ray, but be sure to get other bids before you do!

Decided to go with central AC in our newly purchased home and Jazz came out to give us an estimate in a timely manner. They were professional through and through. After inspecting our furnace, it was determined to be over 20 years old, so we decided to upgrade the furnace too. Jazz was able to schedule us within a week to get the job done. The crew arrived on time and worked so efficiently and professionally that I highly recommend them. They answered all of my questions and cleaned up after  installing everything. We are so pleased to have central AC especially since the temps are going to be close to 100 this weekend!!!

Ted and team are great. They have done a variety of projects for us from a full kitchen remodel, tiling the basement, insulation and drywall, electrical and painting. He is very knowledgeable, responsive and does great work. I highly recommend him.

The Plumbing Guys really saved us over the holiday weekend. We called them, they promptly replied and reported to our house to help a major plumbing issue. The plumber was nice and professional. We would use them again in a heart beat!

Emergency.  It's Sunday afternoon. Our holiday party guests were due at 3 pm.  At 2 pm we found that our drains were clogged.  Toilets overflowed.  It could not have happened at a worse time.  I went on-line and looked for the nearest rooter-plumber who could come out.  Chosen was nearby and answered the phone.  I could hear a child in the background.  I explained the problem.  You have come to the right place.  We will be there between 3 and 4.

In the event, Ramon arrived at 3:30.  He explained how he would investigate.  When he determined the general location of the blockage, he set to work.  By 5:30pm the blockage was cleared and we were good to go.  

I give top marks to Chosen for their prompt response and top marks for Ramon to a job well done.

Here's hoping I will not have to see Ramon professionally any time soon.  But you can be sure I will call Chosen when the occasion arises.

I called to get a radiant heating quote for a new house and I was forwarded to a person's VM to spec out a system.  Someone called me the next day saying he was Jim and asked if I called him.  He didn't say where he was from and was very short with me.  He said if I'm not looking for him then he has other things to do.  He was being very short with me and made me feel like I was taking up his time.  I didn't recall calling a Jim so I said goodbye and he was happy to hang up.  I found out later that he is one of the owners of this company.  Needless to say I will take my business elsewhere.

After self diagnosing the failure of the igniter on our water heater, I was left to contact a suggested yelp plummer in our 94502 area. After reading several reviews I had decided to go with Albert Nahman Plumbing for there favorable reviews by fellow residents. They were very timely on arrival. The very courteous female plumber who was dispatched to our home needed to match up the igniter at her supply house in order to replace it. ?? After a short period of time I received the call that she was able to locate a universal igniter for our water heater and was asked if I would like to have the plumber return the same day to install it or to return the next day. I definitely wanted hot water in the house immediately.  Arriving home after work to meet the plumber installing the new universal igniter did I get broadsided with the total cost of this installation. WOW
A total labor and travel cost of nearly $235 to install a $6.85 igniter. Really, I find this to be totally unreasonable and will not be contacting this plumbing outfit again.
