Best Gas Water Heater Repair in Saint Paul MN

I'm so grateful that I found Mark and his company's information in the Villager!  He was booked out a week in advance but was able to squeeze us in NEXT DAY!  We were working with Contractors from Hell and they did something to cause the pressure in our shower to be non-existent.  He came over, identified the issue, fixed it on the spot and even took the time to explain it!  We were getting a General Contractor quote at the time (to fix CFH issues) and he even advised us to work with them first before he did anything to help with the dishwasher install.

Great rates, great responsiveness, very honest and trustworthy.  I'm so thankful to stumble across him and wanted to share with the Yelp! community.

I wanted my toilet replaced urgently and Roman helped with this. He is very prompt in his response (I originally hired Home Depot Installation service but have not heard from them yet to arrange for the appt)
He is extremely good in his job and very detailed and meticulous. He made sure that your house is as clean after he leaves.  Very professional!

The best in the business! We've used them a few times now and they never fail to exceed our expectations. Fast, friendly, and professional service. We will definitely be calling Legend the next time we need heating, ac, or plumbing work done. Thank you, Erik, for getting our ac fixed so quick!

Everything you could ask for in a great service company. John gave specific detailed feedback, weighed the costs and benefits of what actions to take, showed commitment to customer satisfaction and feasibility in price and functionality, and I got to learn plenty of baseline information about the specific problems that were occurring on my unit so I know why decisions are made.

Keith and his team replaced our water heater that also ran our in floor heating and our water softener. Very responsive to all my questions and gave me an estimate on the spot. I'd called 5 other companies and they didn't get back to me or gave me a very late overpriced estimate. Keith gave the best price and didn't play games. They came in to do the job quickly and finished in one day. They had already finished the job when another company got back to me on their estimate. Really nice and professional group of guys. We will never call any other plumber again. Thanks Keith and DJ and team.

Fast, efficient and $300.00 below my other estimates! Great job! Highly Recommend them!

Norblom Plumbing was so great to work with! Super friendly service, accurate and really competitive quote! Great communications and time management. Would highly recommend them for any work you need done.

We had a great experience with Jake the Plumber.  We're the owners of a 1920's bungalow in the Uptown area and we let a laundry list of minor but annoying plumbing issues pile up.  

Our upstairs shower had been having some water pressure issues and was some of the oldest plumbing left in the house.  Jake installed new lines & flushed our system and our water pressure is 100x better than it was before.  We also had an additional tap installed outside, and some small repairs to a couple of leaking faucet heads.  He was even able to save us some money by creating a custom fitting rather than replacing a whole faucet assembly!  All in all, Jake was quick and tidy, and he taught us how to do some basic repairs.  We're thrilled with our plumbing now, but should we have any plumbing issues in the future we would not hesitate to reach out to Jake!

Thanks Jake!

I am a senior who over the years has had some experience with plumbers. However, I ran into a problem that none of the plumbers I hired were able to repair. Our upstairs shower began leaking down into our kitchen. It was not immediately apparent since it was leaking behind the crown molding of the kitchen cabinets. Over time, I had a parade of experience plumbers in my home working on this and none of them could find the problem. After one plumber thought the problem was fixed, we ended up with water running down our kitchen walls, out an electric outlet and out on to our counter top. Not getting any results, this got costly and we gave up. We just didn't use the shower. Many years later, and out of shear frustration, I made another attempt to find a good experienced plumber. After numerous phone calls, Jim Murr Plumbing was highly recommended. I was afraid to get my hopes up, but this time we got lucky! Jim came out to our home, and we explained all of the problems we had gone through over the years and to his credit, he did not try to run away. Essentially, the job was quite complex, and involved other issues as time went on. However, we could not be happier with the out come. Jim sent the A team over to our house and they wasted no time. They also carefully explained along the way everything that needed to be done and the costs involved. Surprises like the wall being moved. Also, after all that we had gone through, we decided to put in a tile shower. And fortunately, Jim had just the guys to do the work! The quality of the work was exceptional and we were thrilled with the results. We also have a greater appreciation for the work involved. I have recommended Jim Murr Plumbing to others.

Great job installing new faucet and drain opener in bathroom. They also put in new shutoff valves which were not present. Travis and Eric also cleaned sediment from the water lines. We have an old house and so much of this had been deferred for many years. Nice people. Prompt. Fair price. Great job!

Thank you so much for the prompt and professional service that you continue to show us! we are so happy with you guys!

Wes was very knowledgable and took his time.  He answered all my questions and genuinely cared. Thanks Wes!

We decided to purchase a new high efficiency Rheem water heater at Home Depot and have them install it on a Thursday. Alex from Champion Plumbing LLC (a HD subcontractor) arrived and started the installation. He quickly removed our 14 year old water heater and installed the new one. Upon completion he opened one faucet to clear the line of air and after payment he quickly left.
 At first we thought everything had gone really well until 2 hours later when we noticed that our shower spout didn't have enough water pressure in either of the lines to get the shower diverter to work at all even though it was working fine prior to the water heater replacement.
 Also my Heating and A/C contractor pointed out to me that the vent pipe work that Champion had done for $69 additional
was not done correctly. It wouldn't pass code (end cap was missing which could allow carbon monoxide to enter our home).
 We contacted Champion only to find out that they had closed an hour before (at 5pm) and despite their website stating they had emergency service, the person that answered their phone indicated that they could not send someone out until the following day. I left a message with that person to have the manager or owner call us back as soon as possible as they had left for the day.
 We then contacted Home Depot and again we were told that there was nothing that could be done until the following day. I asked for a manager and was told no one was available until Friday. I left a message to have someone call me back ASAP.
 On Friday morning it took numerous attempts to get a hold of someone at either Champion or HD as neither one had the courtesy to  return our calls. I finally got a hold of someone at Champion and they indicated that they could send someone between noon-4pm. The plumber (Cole) from Champion arrived around 2pm and did rectify the vent pipe issue but told me that the shower issue was due to a bad mixing valve and wasn't their fault. He indicated that he would have to charge an additional $285 for that repair (this was in addition to the $1376 we had paid the day before for the water heater and installation) but wasn't sure if he could get the part (he said his part supplier may or may not get back to him yet today ) and we might have to wait until sometime the following week as it was now around 2:30pm on Friday. As this was our only shower/bathroom and not having it working for the entire weekend was not acceptable.
 As Cole was wrapping things up I called a plumbing supply house that indicated that they probably had the part in stock but if I could hold a moment they would check their stock room to confirm.
 Cole from Champion was about to leave and I asked if he could wait a moment to see if the part was available? He nodded yes but a moment later he went out the door and left.
 As it turned out I was able to get the part that Cole said we needed within the hour for $22 and due to the bad service from Champion I decided to install the part myself. As luck would have it ...Cole was wrong and that part didn't solve the issue.
  I called around a dozen plumbers late on Friday afternoon and couldn't get anyone to come out that day even with emergency service and the higher emergency rates.
  I finally found one company MSP Plumbing that could come out on Saturday afternoon. They quickly took apart the shower mechanism and diagnosed that the low water pressure issue was due to the pressure regulator valve that had been both clogged and destroyed by sediment not by the part that Cole from Champion had indicated was bad.
  The back of the pressure regulator valve has two ports for the hot and cold water feeds and both of them were plugged with sediment but one of them had been blown apart by the sediment being driven thru it like a bb fired under high pressure as this part is made of plastic (like many newer plumbing parts). Due to this the part was unrepairable and needed replacement but given the late hour no one was open to source the part. MSP Plumbing came out first thing Monday morning with the proper part and in less than an hour our shower was fixed. Nick from MSP Plumbing became our new best friend.

In summary our water heater replacement cost $1369 + $22 for an unneeded part and an additional $423 to fix the damage that Champion caused for a total of $1814. Champion should have taken more care to make sure that the sediment was purged from the plumbing pipes as much

Based on our experience it's evident that Champion is only interested in how many installations they can do each day and could care less about doing quality work. In our case this caused the inconvenience of not having the use of our only shower for 4 days and could have been tragic had we not discovered the potential carbon monoxide issue.

Just used them to install my water softener and a toilet. It was definitely worth the $$. They are the most affordable plumbers I could find that isn't trying to sell you stuff, they just get the job done, end of story.

Ask for Jeremy, he worked on my stuff and definitely very professional and down to Earth.

We had a boiler problem so we called Genz-Ryan. Noah came to do the repair. He diagnosed the issue correctly and took the proper steps to fix it. Noah worked as long as it took to fix the problem even on a Friday night. He was professional as well as courteous. I would definitely recommend Noah to anyone with furnace or boiler problems.

We spent over $300 hiring Randy Lane & Sons Plumbing & Heating to install a gas range in our Minneapolis home and to pull a permit required by the City of Minneapolis.

Randy Lane installed the gas range without issue but absolutely refused to pull the permit that we explicitly made a line item in their work order. It took over 6 weeks of phone calls and the threat of litigation via certified mail to get them to pull the permit. We have finally passed inspection but I absolutely do not recommend you hire this company for a gas range installation in Minneapolis.
