“I had a leaking water heater. Richard came out and gave a free estimate. I got 4 estimates. Al's was competitive with the others. John and Drew came right on time, were friendly, informative, and done within 1 1/2-2 hrs. with the installation, clean-up, and removal of the old one. I couldn't ask for more! I highly recommend Al's Water Heater.”
“Exceptional customer service! We stopped by on a Saturday with a question regarding our recently installed water heater and they went above and beyond to help us out. Dropped everything and came out to our home to take a look and fixed the issue on the spot. We would highly recommend this company.”
