Logan installed a new water heater for us last week. He arrived on time and did an excellent job. He answered all of my questions, towed away the old water heater, was very efficient, and we couldn't be happier with the result. I highly recommend Champion Plumbing for water heater installation!

Showed up quickly and do great work at a reasonable price. The crew was very knowledgeable and went out of there way to answer questions and even checked my gas fire place after having to shut down the gas.

Don't even bother with this company. They charge for a quote and then the quotes are insane. If you want to throw away $59 give them a call and they can come and give an outrageous quote. They quoted $2600 just for labor to replace our sink and install a garbage disposal, not including the electric work.

So, when your hot water heater decides to crap out on you, unless you like cold showers and the green apple quick step that cold washed dishes usually brings, you gotta move. Called Home Depot because of their same day installation promise. While due to weather and the impending New Year's holiday it ended up taking two days, they sent RC out to my house today and he installed it so quickly I was convinced he had just painted my old one while I wasn't looking. The install price, even with whatever Home Depot takes as a cut, was very good. I had two requirements for the job. Don't blow up my house, and make my water hot again. It's only been two hours since he left, but so far RC is two for two. Doing such great work on the final day of the year, he deserves a fat raise and the employee of the month award.

I was very disappointed in my service. I normally use a different company but thought I would give them a try to help me with slow pipes and a leak in my upstairs bathroom. My clogged toilet is still clogged but has $241 worth of new innards. My toilet upstairs showed there could be a leak where the top and bottom connect. While he was tightening the toilet he cracked the top and water went everywhere. He came down and said that he would sell me a toilet for $200 bc ""it was partially my fault"". Who else did that? So, I am $400 in and one of my toilets works properly bc its brand new. I called the next day and she said she could send someone out for another Service call fee. I will never use them again.
Now I have to pay someone else to help fix my downstairs toilet.

We had to change our water heater ASAP and went through Home Depot to get the heater and they scheduled us with Champion Plumbing. They were out within a 2.5 hours and quickly installed the water heater. They gave us a lot of helpful of advice and didn't try to scam us. Overall the price for the heater (50 gallons) and installation was $1,300. Another company wanted $2,400!! RC and Troy did a fantastic job. They were efficiently, knowledgable and cleaned everything up. I would recommend and use these two again.

Today Lee from Champion replaced our old, tired, failing water heater and did a great job. He was punctual, efficient and very nice to work with. He was also very knowledgeable and good at clearly communicating what he was doing and why. After going a few days without reliable hot water, Lee was our hero. I would highly recommend both Champion Plumbing and Lee.

Stay away from these guys!!! We needed a water heater replaced and Home Depot sent a guy out from Champion that told me my 9 yr old home that I just bought/ had inspected 2 years ago needed all of my venting completely redone due to state regulations- doubling the price I was initially quoted. I looked up reviews and apparently, this isn't the first time they tried to pull this bs on someone. Looked up the regulation (which took a bit since he didn't give me the exact section) and it looks like he was citing a regulation citing large commercial buildings- not residential according to section C. I'm a 50yr old retired disabled vet and my wife is a kindergarten teacher currently undergoing multiple surgeries for cancer but I guess since we live in a nice home they guy figured we were wealthy or something (we aren't) and would be an easy mark. Seriously pissed me off- especially considering this went down the Friday before memorial day. I hope karma kicks these guys in the face someday-- True scumbags IMHO. Looked up other local plumbers through the NextDoor app and had a new water heater installed for the exact same price I was initially quoted from home depot.

RESPONDING TO THE COMMENT BELOW:
I could easily deal with the minor charge of replacing the PVC pipe (which was replaced btw)- Your guy told me he had to not only replace the pipes but completely revent my plumbing into the next room over and cut through my ceiling/walls because my pipes were supposedly too close together (costing an extra $1200) and that I would also have to hire a separate person to patch everything up afterward (more $$$). I certainly don't claim to be an expert but this obviously sounded like BS since my house was built 9 years ago & inspected 2 years ago. I had 2 other plumbers look at our system and niether of them mentioned this being an issue.

My previous experience with a home repair contractor was horrendous - I wrote a scathing review for that vendor on Yelp. So to experience the exact opposite of that with Champion Plumbing reinstates my faith in knowing there are still decent, professional and reasonably priced contractors in the Twin Cities. I would not hesitate to recommend Champion to any of my neighbors.

Darnell was on time, courteous, and professional from beginning to end - he answered all of my questions, pointed out FYI's so I was aware of certain things about my new water heater, and provided a clear overview of Champion's MVP program. I'm sure these guys are scheduled for multiple appointments each day but Darnell never seemed rushed, I felt like he truly wanted to do a quality job, made sure everything checked out, and confirmed that I was satisfied with the installation. He completed the job from walk in/walk out in under 2 hours.

Obviously no one enjoys shelling out money for a new water heater + installation. But if you have to, do it through a company like Champion. I'm glad I did.

Stay away from Champion!!! $690.00 to replace a food disposal?!? Are you kidding me?!? It took the guy 20 minutes at most. It wasn't even the high-end disposal. The lady who scheduled the appointment did not give me the impression it would cost this much. Highway robbery.
