These guys deserve five stars even though they never made it out to my house to fix my water heater. How does such a thing happen, you ask? Glad you asked--by being honest and knowledgable!! Here's the full story:
Our water heater had been giving us an error sign for a couple weeks, but if we restarted it, it worked just fine. So, we could always get hot water--we just needed to wait about half an hour once we restarted it (annoying, but we could deal with it, so no rush). I did some research on plumbing/heating companies and decided to go with a company that several people in my neighborhood recommended. The guy came out and couldn't engage in any problem-solving with me. I was equipped with my error code and my owner's manual (that provided some indication of what needed service/replacing for that specific error code) yet the repair man was not able to explain to me what he thought was wrong. He adjusted some of the venting pvc pipe (there was a leak), but I was not confident that the problem was fully solved after he left and charged me $100. Sure enough, in a couple days, the same error code showed up again. I looked for a different company to call for help and that is when I found Two Brothers Water Heater Repair. I gave them a call and the man on the phone was quite efficient and knowledgable. He asked for my water heater brand and model number. He also asked how old it was and who installed it. Then he said, unfortunately, we can't work on your water heater because our insurance only covers us when we work on heaters we installed. Bummer. However, the story doesn't end there! Since he was not going to get any money from me, he could have just hung up the phone and moved on, but he talked with me for a few minutes about what my error code might mean and told me what he thought the problem was. He nailed it!! I did a bit of research on the part he mentioned and embarked on the process of trying to repair it myself. I removed the blower and found exactly what he told me I might find. I was able to fix it myself, and thirty minutes and not a penny later, we had a working water heater!
Highly recommend these guys--if they were able to help me out in a four-minute conversation with just a little bit of information, I am extremely confident in their water heater repair knowledge.
