“I called Excel first thing in the morning after discovering a hot water tank leak. Kelly quickly provided me a quote that was reasonably priced and promptly answered all my questions.

The installation team, led by Yaryk, arrived shortly afterwards and did an awesome job removing the old water heater & installing the new one. They were clean, efficient, and professional.”
