“Very easy. I contacted the company over a holiday weekend and they responded the same day with a quote of about $2600 to replace my 50 gallon water heater. They were able to give me a quote over text with a few pictures, and the quote did not change at the end. I received another quote from a Home Depot installer (Beutler) that was nearly $4000. The person who gave me the quote insisted that the current install didn't meet code requirements and that they would have to redo a lot of the work to pass inspection. After reading other reviews regarding HOTCO I went with them. I finalized the contract around 7am and by mid afternoon the job was done. The installer was very pleasant and was done in a couple hours. I paid extra to have them file for the permit. Passed inspection. No complaints. I definitely would use this company again. Thank you”

“We originally found Samuel as a top rated plumber in our area through NextDoor. He had come out to unclog a few of our lines soon after purchasing our new house and was communicative, efficient, and clean in the new house. We recently decided to start a laundry room renovation which required moving our hot water heater from the current mechanical closet and moving our washer/dryer hookups to another wall. Our old water heater was much past its useful life so we decided to fully replace it to heat pump electric utilizing the SMUD rebates. At the time, Platero Parada Plumbing was not a SMUD certified plumbing outfit, but we asked Samuel if he would be willing to apply for the rebate for us and within two hours he had submitted the paperwork. During the application process he discovered the water heater rebates were going to increase Feb 1, 2026, so we held off a couple extra days - the heads up saved us another grand. His crew came out and and worked late a couple days to make sure that we had hot water for showers in the morning which was much appreciated. They were very communicative throughout the process letting us know when they would arrive and their timeline each day of the process. During the process we decided we had to move the drain line a few inches to fit better behind the new washer/dryer unit. He happily made the change without charging us anything extra, even though he had to run back to the store to get a couple new connectors. We are now about a month in and everything is working well and looks very clean and neat. They did an excellent job and went above and beyond to get certified by SMUD and push our SMUD rebate through. We highly recommend them and have given their business card to a number of our friends.”

“We called A2Z Water Heaters to get an estimate for replacing our ancient water heater. We scheduled an appointment and Fred and Joey came right on time. They looked over our old heater system and evaluated what would need to be done in order to bring everything up to code - our old heater was lacking many now-required upgrades! Fred went through the process and what the needed upgrades would be, leaving us with a written estimate as well as a folder with papers explaining each step of the process and what they would need to do when installing the new water heater. We chose a Rheem heater, which Fred recommended for our house size and expected usage. We scheduled the installation. On installation day, Fred and Joey arrived on time. They drained and removed the old heater and installed the new one, making all the upgrades and adjustments we needed. Because of where our heater is located in the garage, they added a drain pan and drain pipe so should any issues arise, the water would flow to our garage floor instead of the alcove where the heater is located. New copper piping, new ducts, and a pressure release tank were also added, along with new straps mounted to the garage wall. The job was completed in a few hours and they removed all debris. When the inspector came to sign off on the installation, he inspected the water heater and signed off on the paperwork, commenting that he knew everything would be done right because "A2Z always does a great job!" He knew there wouldn't be problems because he was familiar with Fred and Joey's work. Fred and Joey turned our inconvenience into a smooth and trouble-free water heater replacement experience. We'd highly recommend A2Z for your job - water heaters is all they do, and they do it right!”

Their plumber arrived promptly and managed to complete the job in under 25 minutes. He installed a simple brass elbow and brass faucet for connecting a new WaterRight garden hose. They took away the old fittings and old PVC irrigation pipe too. Thank you Luis!”

“Our hot water/radiant floor heater gave up the ghost after Thanksgiving. We called our regular HVAC company to fix it. They kept pushing back the arrival date of the needed part, taking no ownership for their part in the delay and offering a token 10% discount after we had had no hot water for two weeks. We fired them and a plumber we used before recommended Chris at Tri-County Water Heaters. WOW! Chris is the guy you want working on your Navien unit. The combo hot water/radiant flooring setup is a complicated piece of plumbing. Other contractors we’ve had in the past barely understood it—Chris grasped the layout pretty much instantly and was able to explain it to me. It turns out that there were more things broken than what the original contractor ordered replacements for, because they didn’t understand the system as well as Chris or have access to priority support from Navien. So we had to wait a few more days for Chris to locate replacement parts. But unlike the original contractor, Chris kept us fully informed and went above and beyond to get the parts quickly—he even ordered the same part from multiple sources just in case one of them was delayed. Who does that? Tri-County Water Heaters does! Chris arrived today with his partner Justin and they had us back online in about an hour. We paid him what our original contractor quoted, even though Chris replaced far more parts and had paid for expedited delivery of those parts. Chris is knowledgeable, a great communicator, highly ethical, and super nice. We are so glad we found him!”

“Amir from 5 Star Plumbing was excellent. Pricing was very reasonable, and scheduling was easy. We booked Wednesday night for 4:30pm the next day, and he was able to show up early at 11am. He coordinated seamlessly with my contractor, removed the old water heater in the late morning, and returned late afternoon to install a Bradford White unit with a thermal expansion tank after drywall was finished. My contractor said Amir was friendly and got along with everyone. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Amir and 5 Star Plumbing. First pic is old water heater.

“I was referred to Dr. Drain Plumbing when I tried to wash my hands and had no water to the house. After calling Dr. Drain Plumbing, I schedule an appointment for them to come as soon as possible. I received a text message that the technician Gregory Bray was on his way. Gregory dug up the area and found the large break in the pipe. One of the reasons was the pipe was never installed correctly when the house was built. The pipe was to close to the surface and then the snow came and low temps. The repairs took two days due to some issues with the glue. The new pipe was installed lowered, covered with installation and the dirt put back in the area. The crew was extremely friendly, efficient and knew exactly what they were doing. I so appreciate the amazing service! The only thing I wished is I would have asked for a senior discount (10%) which would have helped a lot with the cost. I always forget about this discount.”
