Best Electric Water Heater Repair in San Francisco CA

Polite, prompt, and meticulous.  What's not to love?

Jorge was friendly, managed expectations well, and solved my problem quickly.  I am definitely using these guys again.

We bought our home in 2006 and the previous owners of 30+ years highly recommended them for any plumbing and heating problems with the house.   My water heater gave up 2 years ago and Luis came out and banged out the job.  Recently I had a issue with the pilot light and no hot water, called Tromborg (7pm) and they were here no less than 15 minutes assessed the issue, replaced the faulty part all within 45 minutes.  Family owned business and they treated me like family, these guys are AWESOME!  If you are not using Tromborg for your heating and plumbing then you probably paid too much and got crappy service.  Do yourself a favor and call them NOW if you have any plumbing or heating issues.

Our garbage disposal broke and we found Nick on our block working another job on a Sunday. He came and replaced it in less than an hour at a great price. Would definitely recommended this plumber.

We needed our water heater replaced. Edgar came right out, and within a week had removed our ancient tank heater and replaced it with a gas tankless. Super responsive, reasonably priced, definitely recommend.

Great and reliable service! Reasonable prices and team was very polite and respectful with service! Definitely would recommend and use again!

If you're looking for a reliable and affordable plumbing service, look no further than this company. I had a clogged drain in my kitchen sink, and they were able to come out the same day and fix it. The plumber was efficient and courteous, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

We wanted to go from a gas stove to a Electric stove, Damon responded with enthusiasm.  Setting up the time for the Electrician to come and asses the job was easy and all online.  Pricing was perfect.  
When Pedro arrived (Pedro called to confirm I was home and ready) we went over everything that was going to happen.  It was fast and easy.  Communication was solid from the get go for both Damon and Pedro.  When it comes to clean work, Pedro was a total pro.  The whole job went exactly as planned.  I totally will be rehiring again for future.

Tiberio V. Came right away to check out our water heater that went kaput (pretty much died on us).  The water heater was really old and the pilot light never went back on and we decided to have it replaced.  Tiberio, after diagnosing the problem, came the next day early to replace the water heater with a new modern one, ours was 12 years old. He went out of his way to help us soon because I was going back to work from my days off and he showed a sense of urgency which I appreciated.  Tiberio is a very hard worker, interesting to chat and talk to, and very professional.  He is as skinny as a bean pole, but I was so impressed how he was able to haul the new water heater in alone and take the old one out alone without any extra help.  I was really impressed with his work ethic, he was all business and not afraid to get down and dirty and his confidence and knowledge of his craft made me trust his judgement. He finished pretty quick, a couple hours or so I think (more or less) and everything seems to be working properly and we have hot shower water now!

He also has a good heart and as someone who has lost my father recently, I appreciate his sympathy and assistance and pray for his continued success.  Thank you Tiberio and Van Go Rooter SSF.

Excellent, Honest, Professional, and very good with communication. We are so lucky to find Mike. He already finished half of the work, and he will return soon for the rest of the project. Oh, also compare to other people I spoke to he is not expensive. Highly recommended, and since he is good, it means he is busy but worth waiting. Thank you Mike.

First time do unclogged with professional service, so i don't have any previous experience can compare with.
Kenneth did a good job during this time experience, they are professional and fix the issue very quick and efficient. The price is 425 for unclogging, not sure it's a fair price or not, like I mention I don't have any experience can compare.
I do like to work them if next i need the service, for sure.

Quick response to help with our boiler, radiant system, and few other plumbing issues.

Works Plumbing & Rooter, by far, is the best plumbing service we've had - and we've had a LOT of plumbing work done at our house over the years.  

Our water line underground pipe developed a leak late Saturday and water was coming out through the foundation.  We were frantically calling plumbers Saturday night to come that same night, if possible, to diagnose the problem and propose a solution/estimate.  It's a nightmare when problems like this arise on a weekend. We also called friends to recommend plumbers they used as we didn't want to go back to those we dealt with in the past due to unfavorable results and experiences. We got hold of two that evening who showed up (separately) one full hour or more from the time of our call.  A third plumber said he'd come Sunday afternoon but was a complete no show.  

Not satisfied with the evaluation and horrified by estimates given, we called other plumbers and finally got hold of Works Plumbing on Sunday afternoon after checking them out on the internet.  Jorge Besinga (the boss) was at our door within 20 minutes from our call.  He evaluated the problem immediately and proposed the best, most economical and expeditious solution.  Jorge is knowledgeable about his work, articulate, polite and respectful.  You just knew in your gut you're dealing with an honest and competent person. His price is fair, acceptable and a whole lot less than what others quoted.

All work was COMPLETED TO OUR SATISFACTION within the time stated in spite of bad weather during their scheduled work days.  I give Works Plumbing my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION if anyone needs a plumber  - I believe they can handle just about anything regarding plumbing and rooter work, and if they can't they'll say so up front

Couldn't be happier with my recent experience with Gotelli plumming! On time, excellent service, speedy work. Would never to back to another plummer!

Absolutely excellent. Lower Nob Hill but came to replace my water heater in Oakland and did an absolutely first rate job. On time, on estimate, perfect performance w total competence. Alex is a total pro - knows his stuff and does it with excellence.

These guys are ridiculously overpriced and don't stick to the quotes they make.  They do decent work (although I did have to call them out to fix a leak on a tankless water heater they had installed the day before) ... but they charge way too much.  If price is of no concern, they are responsive and generally know what they are doing and do decent work ... below is my email based on the last job they did for me ...


This bill is absurd.  

I called you in advance to get a rough quote on the replacement of a tankless water heater.  You suggested it would be a couple hours work at $145/hr plus the cost of the water heater and a 15% upcharge. I called A-1 plumbing in advance on pricing for the Takagi T-K4 which is what we agreed you would install and they quoted me $900.   I was expecting a bill in the neighborhood of $1,500.

Instead, you installed the T-H3 which A1 quoted me today at $1,185 ... so I am not really sure where the $1990 + $299 markup is coming from ... that is just ridiculous.   This should have been less than $1500 for all materials even with your own markup and tax.

I received no call from you suggesting that the T-K4 was not available, nor requesting authorization for the T-H3 model.  There was no advance notice of the extreme difference in cost and I did not permit the additional cost.  $2,300 for a tankless water heater is just insane.  Not only that, you charged me for 9.5 hours!  I have had many tankless water heaters installed and they have never taken two people 9.5 man hours to install ...

And when I get home, I find that the installation wasn't done correctly and the device is leaking all over the place.

I'm done with R&L Plumbing


The most important thing in business is to be honest.  I went with these guys because they are generally fast and responsive and I like Larry, but when you quote something for roughly $1200-$1500 to install, you should be close in your bill, not more than double ... which is what I got.  Total install cost for tankless heater ... $3,276 ... just crazy.  

And this wasn't the first time ... they charged me $1,800 to replace a normal water heater ... just crazy.

Do not even bother with this company. We called 4 times, and no one even had the courtesy to call back. We contacted another co. Star plumbing and they said they would be here in one hour.

I contacted Plumbing Care at 7AM on a monday morning after my downstairs flooded as a result of my toilet overflowing. They responded immediately and had a technician at my house within one hour. The technician, Alvictor, was extremely professional and took the time to explain his repair process and all of my options. I was very pleased with his execution on repairing the clogged pipes and installing a new toilet. He took great care to clean up and leave everything exactly the way it was. I will definitely use Plumbing Care if needed in the future. You have a great employee in Alvictor!

I called Ivan Rojas Plumbing this morning to ask if his team could check my water heater, as for 24 hours I had no hot water. He said he'd send someone out between 4 and 6 this evening - I did not expect to be placed on a same day schedule! - but as promised, one of his team members arrived just before 6. Roman checked out the appliance, found that the thermocoupler had failed, installed a new one that he had in hand and voilá the problem was fixed!
This is the second time I've used Rojas and I cannot recommend them more enthusiastically. They are professional, courteous, great communicators and experts in their field.
Thank you Roman and Ivan at Rojas Plumbing!

Adolfo responded very quickly to my request for information. He was able to come handle my emergency plumbing issue the same morning.

We were referred by home warranty company. We scheduled an appointment on a Tuesday. The guy came out to fix the clogged bathtub faucet, but accidentally broke something. Okay fine...the piece had to be ordered. T&C called me a couple of times, but due to my schedule and my husband's schedule we weren't able to schedule right away. I told them I'd call them. I'm having my lunch (home from work) and the plumber shows up...just out the blue. I called and spoke with a very rude female. I told her it wasn't scheduled and that we just had a death in the family.  She responded with a rude tone, Oh well I didn't schedule it. I will never use this company again due to their horrible customer service. The plumber was very nice!!!
