Recommended Customer Reviews

If you want a professional plumber to show up, understand the problem, fix it, and then charge a reasonable fee, then you should find someone else. Calinente will expect you to diagnose your own problem and then try to sell you multiple services that you don't need at inflated prices.
Don't be a sucker. Do business with someone else.

I followed the recommendations from this thread and called Caliente. I called them in the morning and was excited because we were given a same day appointment! They were supposed to come between 6-8 pm. My excitement was short lived because there was a no show, no call. I had to reach out to them and was told technicians were too busy. I initially disclosed to them that I was getting a second quote/opinion. I knew coil in A/C was leaking and needed a new one. I got the distinct feeling this was not going to generate a good amount of income for them so I got tossed aside. As an owner of multiple properties, I am looking for a company who would be my preferred vendor which would provide honorable and reliable service to my home and my other rental houses. Obviously, Caliente is not the company for me! - Nick Gómez

Easy to make an appointment and was kept informed throughout the process. The team is too notch and very respectful.

Today we had service for a water softener leak outside. When I called; we got a quick appointment & were kept up to date on our repair technicians arrival. He was not only courteous ; he was on time. Our repair man was Jeremy Bogue.
He explained everything about the repair. When Jeremy was done with repairs, he took the time to actually rollup and put out water hose on our hook & close the yard gate. That means alot to us because he didn't have to do. It shows he didn't "just do a job" and left. We've had work done by others & left a mess!
Very pleased with the company and Jeremy. If we ever need any other repairs; they will be our first call choice!

Great service!! I highly recommend Caliente Plumbing. Super Professional and Friendly. Kept all appointments and kept me informed of everything. Ryan is a great embassador for your company whatever you're paying him he deserves a raise. He worked in the rain and late at night just so my family's needs would be taken care of asap. I have already recommended him to my family and friends. There are many plumbing companies out there but this one stands out as very trustworthy and that means a LOT. I will always call Caliente and Ryan for my plumbing issues. Thanks!

Wow just WOW!!! They say don't trust plumbers but after my experience with Caliente I will use and recommend Caliente to everyone I know. I got home at 1:00 a.m. and found our brand new house to be flooded Because of the builders negligence I called Caliente which was the 1st on Google search and they showed up not even 10 minutes later found the problem fixed it in about 30-40 minutes and when I asked the guy how much do I owe you he said " Dude I'm not gonna charge you just let us know if you need further help". I'm not leaving this comment here bc he didnt charge me for his service (as late as it was) but bc this is somebody I can trust 100% for our AC, heater and plumbing needs and believe you should too. Thank you very much Caliente You guys rock

These guys were great. They came over for a reasonable price. very knowledgeable, and did not try to oversell me on a bunch of crap I did not need. Strait shooters! They only do hot water, so they really know their shit.

Prompt, ready to install our water heater (that was not working) and water softener. Even drove back to the office to get a missing part so we could have hot water and soft water the same day. Pricing and warranty were very competitive, within a few dollars of an estimate we were given by another company and with a longer warranty on parts and service. Ryan was very professional and knowledgeable. He was very willing to answer all my questions and explain the why behind his answer, not just a simple yes/no. We will definitely be recommending Caliente and will be using them for our future plumbing needs.

One of the best services I've experienced in a long time. They were quick, friendly, and did an excellent job installing a new waterheater! Couldn't ask for better. Will be calling them again for a watersoftner. Very impressed.

Quick response! Thankfully Rick was able to come out & help with our urgent matter & it was all taken care of SAME DAY! Caliente Hot Water is EASY to work with and is very friendly! I will definitely be recommending them to family & friends! PS. Cost for the part & labor was reasonably priced. Plus, Rick is knowledgeable and he took the time to answer all my questions - very much appreciated!
