Best Electric Water Heater Installation in San Antonio TX

I'm giving 2.5 stars bases on Yelp's description of the stars.  I will recommend to folks where cost is not an issue.

Gist: $540 ($490 with Military Discount) to replace a Pressure Reducing Valve.  The job took 1 hr from knock on the door to payment.  So that is 85.00 for the part and $405/hr labor (w/ fuel & prorated business costs).  

Call for quote before replacing PRV if you have the following:  Jack hammer sound when flushing any toilet or running any faucet.  I took the steps to clear a water hammer but the problem continued.  

Cons:
- Cost (Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me)
- Plays word games when doing reputation management
-----------
*Response to Owner comments*:  
Your guy was great, he had the problem diagnosed as I was describing it. I'm guessing because he had the new part in his car that this is a fairly common issue.

Is this the first time you have replaced a PRV valve in the new residential Alamo Ranch Area?  No, probably not.   Valve was 8 inch below the surface and easily accessible.

He knew this was a quick job but I didn't. I asked how long it takes on average and he said I don't know, we have to dig.  I asked him how much that part normally runs and he said he didn't know because you don't buy from Home Depot.

Average cost w/ labor online in 350.  Add the 350 plus the 65.00 you charge for the visit without service, that is 415.  It was worth it, at that point, to spend the 75$ just to have it done now.   Again, I didn't know the cause before you came out, otherwise I would have compared quotes.

I would prefer that in the future you ask a fair price for jobs you have a good understanding of, not the I don't know, maybe it could cost 1 to 3 hour price.   That is the difference between 2.5 (ok) and 5 stars (great).

Fun fact:  Brain Surgeons make $175/hr. on average.

Pros:
- Very Fast response
- Professional Staff
- Same day appointment without fee
- Good Work
- (edit) Will work in 100 degree heat

Confusion with my initial call, but the owner, Cody, got back to me so quick to address my problems and give me quotes! Very impressed by his professionalism. We haven't hired them quite yet, but I'm leaning towards their services, as Cody has proven to really care about his customers and taking care of me. :$

I called BG Plumbing because I can hear water drops sometimes  from my bathroom, especially at night time. Tsanko answered the phone right away, and arrived in 30 mins as he promised.  

He checked the bathroom, nothing is wrong there. And there's no water drops sound too. Tsanko explained the sound might not be from a leaking. But my water usage is way too much more than my neighbors of the same family size.  I was suspicious of what he said. Then, he showed me the water meter.   It's still.  I stared at it for a minute and it's  not moving at all. It should be moving if there was a leaking going somewhere. There is no sense the leaking stops from time to time. It should always be there.. OK, now he completely convinced me.  I should look somewhere else for my big water bill but definitely not leaking.  Tsanko left his business card and we said good bye to each other. No charge.

That's  my experience with Tsanko and his BG Plumbing. Tsanko is very honest, efficient, and willing to help. I will definitely call him again if there really  is a plumbing issue.  Thank you Tsanko!

Super friendly and responsive.  All prices quoted up front and transparent.  Honestly, I felt like i was dealing with a family member or a friend.

I will be using Blue Lion for all of my plumbing needs. I filled out an online request and was contacted right away about scheduling a visit.  John and Will were amazing! They came to my house to assess a hammering noise the pipes were making.  They identified the problem quickly and fixed it without any issues- and for a great price.  They even explained some of the ins and outs about shutting off the water, etc. to me.  Thankful for such a great experience with Blue Lion!

Jacob & David did an excellent job with our water main!  Had a massive leak and provided transparent and professional service.  Called several plumbing companies to come out and none came out, let alone responded to my calls, emails or texts.  The fact they resolved my issue early in the day on a Sunday was refreshing.  Good to know there is still hope in a service starved world that they cared.  Also provided a quote and direction for another issue that I will get serviced in the future.

These guys are awesome! Came over with no issues to inspect my system and pointed out CO2 problem & were able to fix the system same day! Great service, great customer service, and great value! Noel & Jesse were professional, quick, and clean. Answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable about the HVAC system and explained why there was a problem & what it took to fix it. Very transparent about what they were suggesting and why. Recommend services!

Both Chris and Wally have been to both of my commercial locations and could not be more professional, efficient, knowledgeable and most importantly, honest!! CMC is a very rare bird for sure!!
Wish I knew of them years ago!

Total frauds. Plumber gets out of the truck and immediately starts trying to sell me on upgrades and services that I didn't ask for. He showed very little interest in the project I actually called him for. When he finally presented the written estimate, I almost fainted! The bid was close to $2000.00 for a very simple one hour repair. I kicked him out and hired Andre's Pro Plumbing. They did the repair for $225.00. Buyer beware of these slimy up-charge pirates who masquerade as plumbers! FTP.

Needed a water heater replaced. They responded quickly, showed up on time and had it replaced in just over an hour. Very satisfied with the results. Thanks Braulio!

I managed to break the water line in my house just inside the wall, Abel called me back immediately to discuss the job and gave me a fair estimate over the phone.  He showed up on time with Alex, and they were able to do the job and even went above and beyond repairing my wall and making sure it looked like new even though I didn't really expect it to.  You can't go wrong calling Abel, he's fair, quick, and super nice.  I will be using him for all of my plumbing needs at all of my rental homes going forward.

I had these folks come out a few months ago to access repairs on a clogged water line. The first visit bombed as the technician just did seem to have the correct answers however he realized I was not happy and without me saying anything the Owner called and volunteered to come by and look at the issue personally. We had a great conversation and he was very thorough and quoted me a very fair price. At this point, I was super impressed. I was unsure about moving forward with the project and needed some time to think on it and told him I would call or text them back on rather or not we wanted to proceed. The next day I called and texted saying we did want to proceed and was told he was out of town. I continued through the next week to try to contact them and although their receptionist answered I could never get the manager/owner to call me  back. He completely Ghosted me.

One The only plumbers in the entire 5 county residence.He's fair and honest. A  plumber who made us feel as if we were life long friends... Dependable good  plumber with  experience I have come to rely on!!!

I had to call Jim one evening at a little before 7 pm because a pipe had broken and it was going to get below freezing that night AND we needed water.  Jim came right away was  very professional and obviously well versed in his knowledge.  He did an emergency repair in order for us to get the water turned back on.  
He came back a few days later to complete the repair, he applied the money I paid for the emergency call to the final repair (which was great).  Again, Jim was incredibly  professional and very personable.   I will call him again and I highly recommend him to any one who needs a plumber.

I called Guarantee late on a Friday to help diagnose a low water pressure issue. They had someone out first thing Monday morning.

When they knocked on the door, the technicians were wearing masks and made sure it was ok for them to enter. While one checked the pressure outside, another allowed me to show them what was happening inside.

The technician told me the pressure was low and there were a few things it could be. He walked me over to the water line boxes near the curb and showed me the water pressure regulator valve. He explained that it could be that it just needed to be adjusted. He talked me through everything he was doing while he did it. Meanwhile, as he made adjustments, the other tech was taking reading at the hose bib.

After he righted the pressure to 70 PSI, he said he wouldn't charge me the full amount and only charged $45!

They were gone and my problem was fixed in 20 minutes! I felt like they were very transparent about what needed to be done.

They were good about showing up on time. They way overbid a job, then when I reached out to them, they told me they would call me right back. That was over a week ago, and I am still waiting.

I'd give zero stars if I could.  Have been maintaining my system for its entire life.  It's five years old and stopped working after the replaced a part...preventively.  2nd unit stopped working working within a month...replaced the same part...didn't work for more then a day.  I feel scammed...it is now Christmas Eve before a big storm and no heat.  Use this company at your own peril!

I called and renewed my parents membership with Goettl AC. The gentleman I spoke with was pleasant and understood my situation and made renewing easy. Husam was the technician who came out and he was very nice and respectful while checking the three units in the house. He was also detailed on what the issues were for one of the AC units. These two gentlemen is what gave the company stars because without them I would have made every attempt to give this company 0 stars based off of their practice. $399 yearly membership and that gets them to come out and say everything is fine. But if something is not fine they say the last guy should have done X,Y,Z. The last guy was from Goettl tried to sell a brand new unit at a discounted price of $10k+ plus additional labor costs. What was the point of paying $399/year if the discounted price and is the same average price with other companies? I asked for them to email me a quote of the units so we can think about it and was told they can't until we schedule an appointment to have the manager go over the benefits of each option, aka salespitch. I don't know why we agreed to it and sure enough it was a salespitch and would not listen to our request of just email us the quote. Finally after getting him off the phone I get the emailed quote that clearly says the benefit of each option. If you are going to make a sales pitch, find out what is important to me and then tell me the value of the option to my need. The used car salesman approach (and I knew that was going to happen) will get us to say NO everytime. I only entertained the idea cause the technician, Husam, gave me some hope on Goettl sales tactics. I was so wrong and now membership is cancelled.
