“My 13 yr 75gal Brad White Water heater went out Saturday Evening, On Sunday, I got a quote from BBros to replace control valve and thermopile for $2000. New WH replacement $11000.00. Called Water Heaters Only, Chris N. arrived an hour later (great response), I asked for a replacement quote, he said he could do the job that day (on a Sunday!) and gave me a quote for half the price of BBros.”
“Brandon came in the timeframe indicated and the texts and email updates were great. It was clear the water heater needed to be replaced and he told us the price for replacement (which was fair). He had the unit in the van ready, and had it fully installed and the area cleaner than before he started in only about 2 hours.”

“Wesley did an excellent job to install the water heater for us. We have two 50 gal system and a water recirculating pump. He is very dedicated to his job especially near the completion, he found out the water leak from the anode rod of one unit, he went to Home Depot and bought the tool to fix the water leak.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Called on the phone about getting a thermopile replaced for my water heater. The lady used scare tactics to try and upsell a whole water heater replacement by implying that my unit was under under recall (which it was not) and could be a fire hazard and they would not repair it. Pretty shady……”
Positive
“Woke up Sunday morning my water heater was toast water pouring out everywhere made the call. Luis was here in two hours. We had a great time. He was funny and very skilled at what he does”
“Want to send a HUGE thanks to our installer Matt Hoffman for his fantastic service, professionalism, and absolute expertise restoring our desperate need for hot water! Matt clearly takes pride in his work and ensuring every detail is addressed while being supremely organized and efficient. There's simply no replacing experience. Thank you Matt for doing such an amazing job installing our new water heater!!!”
