After wanting to replace my 15 year old water heater with a tankless one, I came across John Castro Plumbing and from the moment I contacted Chris over the phone to the end of installation, everything was as smooth as could be. From prompt replies via text to speedy, thorough, and enthusiastic service, Chris absolutely exceeded expectations. It's very hard to find reliable and trustworthy technicians these days, but I am very thankful that I found John Castro Plumbing. The knowledge and expertise cannot be beat. Thank you Chris for the great service today!

This is the plumber you need to call for your Tankless Water Heater install, tankless issues or tankless advice. Chris was incredible, great communication, immediate response, accurate estimate of time, provided an estimate via phone/text, arrived on time and is just a great person. His work is outstanding. He's insanely knowledgable on tankless water heaters and general plumbing questions. Will definitely use him for next upgrade.

I texted Chris from John Castro Plumbing when I discovered our tankless hot water heater beeping, flashing an error code, and definitely NOT pumping hot water. 11pm on a Tuesday. He responded immediately.

In case that last bit didn't entirely land, lemme' make it 100% clear: I texted at 11 FREAKIN' PM and he responded in real time. Just the best service, better than I've ever seen from a plumber. Ever.

Chris knew the unit in question inside and out, and quickly diagnosed by text: our particular problem was common, repairable, and annoying. In fact, he noted he's working with the manufacturer on an aftermarket solve, which speaks to just how much this guy knows about tankless water heaters.

He asked if it could wait until morning, and of course it could. He gave me a direct line for his technicians. He promised to stay in the loop.

Called in the morn, and a smart and thoughtful tech was fixing the problem by 2pm. It proved... mildly complicated, requiring the unit to be taken apart, cleaned from inside out, flashed and reassembled. He hung in until it was done, explained every step, quoted costs in advance, got us up and running same day, wore a mask and acted like a gentleman.

I'm just incredibly grateful.

Service people often get a deservedly bad rap for lousy communication, unexpected fees, or just plain shoddy work. This was... exactly the opposite. Chris and team did that rarest of things: jumped in to solve a problem and totally overdelivered.

Thanks, guys.

Chris Castro asked me how handy I was, walked me through a quick repair, and voila! My tankless water heater is up and running again! He could have easily showed up and fixed it himself for a service fee but saved me the money! I don't even know what to say... but that's how one does business; and that's how one earns business. He was knowledgeable about my Tankless water heater model and quick to trouble shoot it. I'll be sure to use him for any future needs and refer him o any friends and family!

Water heater broke right this week, so my family needed to get a new one. It was easy contacting this company, and within a day Chris came to our house to install a tankless water heater. It only took him about 4-5 hours to install it, and the installation was flawless.

Chris just installed a tankless water heater at my house. I called him on a Saturday and the water heater was installed by Tuesday morning. The process was easy, smooth, and seamless -- my highest recommendation!

We had our first tankless water heater installed. Got John Castro Plumbing as a recommendation from the Rinnai website. We are SUPER happy. With the product and with the install. Chris Castro showed up, mask on, explained everything he was going to do. Explained the machine and what to expect. Explained the rebate for it.

We wish we could find a craftsman in every trade like Chris. Felt totally confident he was an expert in the product and the install. He even threw in a hose faucet, I had requested to be changed out, for free. He's all around nice person and would absolutely recommend him to anyone going tankless. He left the site neater then his arrival. Even filled in the holes left behind from the old water heater cabinet. Really appreciate this kind of work.

Chris showed up ahead of schedule with a mask super courteous and did a great job. He helped me understand how the unit works and went out if his way crawling under my house TWICE to see how best to hook up to my existing plumbing. He's also got some pretty good stories and was super nice to my wife and daughter. I will recommend him to anyone I know needing a tankless water heater install. Thanks again Chris!!!

This is my 1st yelp review, but don't let that diminish the value of this testimony. I was looking for a tankless heater, decided to go with Rinnai. Saw that John Castro Plumbing was one of the certified installers and was close by. Upon looking at several plumbers on that list on Yelp, decided to go with them. Called Chris, he gave me a quote over the phone and set up appt. Chris came on time. To me that spoke volume. There's nothing worse than having to wait for someone after an appt is made. So, thank you again Chris for respecting my time. Chris, is candid, professional and diligent. You can tell he's an expert at what he does! I had the RUR199i installed. It looks awesome and so far so good. Chris also texted the next day to make sure everything is good and to see if I had any questions or concerns! But what sealed it for me was when my dog didn't bark at Chris the whole time he was doing the installation..and she barks at everyone! Who knows, maybe he snuck in a little treat for her when I wasn't looking, if he did, kudos to him :) but I definitely recommend Chris if you are considering a tankless.
