Jose at Horizon Plumbing exemplifies top-tier customer service with expert-level plumbing experience.
I called Horizon since I was having some unusual (read: intermittent) issues with our tankless water heater. No error codes or faults, just occasionally the unit wouldn't power on and there was no hot water. The worst kind of problem, since it's so hard to figure out what is going on.
I had already spent a vast amount of time troubleshooting it myself by turning on and off a variety of supply valves, trying different fixtures, running diagnostics on the water heater, and even calling the vendor for tech support. I was lukewarm (just like my water) on trying to get an answer from a professional because I was concerned they might not be able to figure it out, but Horizon's free estimate policy was reassuring enough to give it a try.
When Jose showed up, I walked him through the ins and outs of the problem I was having. And... my stars must have aligned because the issue happened for him too, so I was grateful for him to see it first-hand. After a lot of discussion and back and forth about the problem and potential solutions, he was puzzled too.
Jose's diagnosis was to try and make some changes to my system in order to better understand what was going on -- he was very upfront and said he wasn't sure it would fix the problem, but at least installing some isolation valves could give us more information about where the problem might be. He also said it *might* fix the problem. He also made some other suggestions to make the installation a bit better.
I ended up asking him to move forward with the work, and Jose was right, it DID fix the problem. It's been 4 weeks and it hasn't resurfaced, and, it ultimately had nothing to do with the water heater. I couldn't be happier. He even called me a week or so later personally to follow up.
