Hector quickly came to the rescue on the morning of New Years Day. He was prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable. Thank you Hector!

I found Hector through another plumber after having trouble with my warranty company locating someone that could fix my special water heater...and we are so happy we found him! There is piece of mind that comes when you can say ""I have a plumber that I can trust.""

Hector has serviced my water heaters, installed drain piping in wall, put in a new gas line, installed a steel utility sink, cut standing pipes, installed a bidet and more. I'm still waiting to find something he can't do.

I would give Hector 10 stars if I could. What an incredibly hard working and genuinely nice guy. We agreed he would remove an old boiler from my laundry room and relocate and replace it with a new wall mounted high efficiency unit in my garage. He started the very next morning and then we proceeded to have a heat wave in the following days. This did not phase Hector and he worked tirelessly in 100 degree heat for hours on end to get the job done. I was in awe and would not have blamed him if he had postponed the job until things cooled down because our west facing garage and laundry room were sweltering in the heat. Hector opened up the walls and ran a new gas line out to the garage as well as running the supply and return lines up and over the roof over to the garage and into the new boiler unit. Hector wrapped all the pipes and re-sealed the roof meticulously. He also added new plumbing for a sink in my laundry room. We now have a new Nest thermostat, thanks to Hector. When we came across the inevitable stumbling blocks in the job, Hector was flexible and creative in his thinking and offered great solutions. He arrived right on time or 10 min early every morning and always put on booties and a mask. He tarped everything and left his work area extra clean. I am so impressed with Hector's professionalism, kindness and also the very high quality of his workmanship. Hire Hector and you'll be SO glad you did!!

Hector was prompt, very competent, and very reasonably priced. He re-engineered and replaced the plumbing connections of a badly installed hydronic heating system so that future repairs will be easy to do if needed. The first replacement pump he installed was defective, so he came out as quickly as we could schedule him to replace that part. He also kept the working area very clean, and put booties on over his shoes in the house without me having to ask.

Great experience with Hector. He had a cancelation and called to offer to come early. My problem was the previous homeowner had a hydronic air handler installed incorrectly in the upstairs addition. It had an issue with a reverse flow through the air handler when it wasn't running, which resulted in luke warm showers. Hector was experienced enough to look at the system, understand that it needed a check valve, and do the fix right there. Explained what he was doing and charged a fair price.

I highly recommend HH Hydronics. I recently purchased a home with radiant heating. Hector serviced my boiler, came out again to inspect it, and gave me several good tips and advice. Prices were reasonable, and service was superb. Appreciate it, Hector!

This is the second time I have used Hector to service the radiant heater in our Eichler house. My radiant heater was not working and since I had a service contract with American Home Shield, I contacted them initially, but they were unable to find any contractor to service my heating system, so they allowed me to choose my own contractor. Since Hector did such a good job for me back in September, 2018, I emailed him a message on a Sunday. He called me right away on Sunday night to schedule an appointment the next day. In fact he got to my home earlier than expected. He said he would come over between 4 to 5 pm, but he called and said he could could make it at 1 pm. I was not home, but my wife was. He came promptly,and diagnosed the problem, but before he could repair the heater, he had to call American Home Shield to get authorization. He had to wait an hour on the phone for a representative, and when he finally got one, the representative gave him so much hassle and problems that nothing was resolved. Without the authorization, he would not be paid. However, he was so nice, he repaired the heater anyway because he did not want my family not to have heat in this cold weather. He would not accept any payment from us and told us we could pay him later. I have done business with a lot contractors, I have yet to run across a contractor who was professional and nice enough to care about my family not having heat and not accept payment for work done. I told him to send me an invoice so I can claim reimbursement from American Home Shield. If you have problems with your heating system, there is no better contractor or human being, for that matter, than Hector.

Hector is amazing! He serviced our boiler, flushed and re-pressurized our pipes, and modernized our connections. We were very happy with his service.

We have a fairly old system in our home. It's been reliable, but we've needed it serviced now and again. We only used Lipp Hydronics in the past, but it appears that they may have closed. Hector (HH) was the last tech from Lipp to service our system before opening his own business. We recently had a crack in one of the heating pipes embedded in the concrete floor. Hector was out almost immediately to investigate the problem, and quickly located the break. We scheduled a Saturday repair and he was precisely on time. Hector was careful to tarp off our family room to minimize dust from cutting into the concrete (but I recommend putting tarps over things in the room as well, as it is just a messy business no matter what). The job was done quickly, and the site left in great shape. I think Hector knows his trade well. Hydronic systems are tricky, and I now trust Hector and will call him for future service if/when needed.

Great experience with HH. With the near-demise of Lipp Hydronics, it seems many of the ex-Lipp people are out doing their own thing, and HH is one of those. Hector recommended a new boiler but that we should get a second opinion. Unfortunately, in January, no one else was interested in coming out and looking - and we were pretty sure he was right. His installation looks really clean and reasonable, work was done on time. I suppose we'll see in a few years if the installation was done correctly. The prestige solo he recommended seems to have a spotty record if installed incorrectly. Overall, very impressed!
