Recommended Customer Reviews
Found Jay through some initial research and then via Yelp. Heard back from him the next morning after reaching out late the previous day. I wasn't in a big rush but I know my Water Heater had minimal time left. When Jay got back to me, we scheduled a call and discussed a direct replacement tank type water heater or a demand type water heater and Jay confirmed my understanding of the positives and negatives of each. I decided to go with the tank type since the one we had gave us great service and our needs were well suited to the tank type of water heater - also Jay was able to provide the same brand that we had before. He gave me an estimate that was very competitive (less than others I had received) and he really sounded like he knew what he was doing - especially since his focus was on water heater repair/replacement only. Jay scheduled me in and texted me 15 minutes before he arrived. He got the job done efficiently, and even though he had to install a new supply valve, he did it pretty quickly. The install looks great and I'm really looking forward to my next shower where the water will be hot for the entire shower! I would highly recommend Jay for any water heater problem you might have - prices are great, great knowledge and experience and workmanship was outstanding!
Jay goes above and beyond for his work. I would definitely recommend to all my friends if anyone ever needs a water heater repaired or replaced. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He also gives a quote based on the pictures I sent to him which saved me $100 for an on-site quote which I absolutely love it. He had my very unique type of water heater replaced very fast and priced very reasonable compare to some other companies.
Shelby S.Jay is a class-act and really knows his stuff. He responded to a quote request within the hour, even on a holiday weekend. If you're looking to go tankless, he's definitely your guy, especially for larger units. We replaced a 100 gallon dinosaur, and couldn't be happier with hot water at the tap in far less time, far lower gas usage, and still multiple showers at once
My water heater was on its last leg. Started calling around for quotes, and found Jay. Called him and he was very personable, he explained my options and the installation process. He was able help me just a day later. He completed the project in just a few hours and I truly highly recommend him to all others. He has been doing the work for 30 years and is definitely very knowledgeable.
He did a great job. Very up front with all of the options. Was on time, got the job done quickly and left the job site immaculate. Everything works great and we are really happy. Would definitely recommend.
Kim S.Great service! Called the evening of Dec 23 after we realized our hot water heater had flooded our garage! They came out the next morning and got everything taken care of! So glad to have hot water again!
Sarah K.Jay gave me a consult over the phone and had me send in some pictures. He was very helpful and honest even though the job was out of the scope of his work (we probably need our pipes replaced). I appreciated that he was willing to answer my questions and give me direction. This is clearly an honest and knowledgeable tradesman and I would recommend him.
Dave B.Had an immediate need as my Water Heater was leaking. Called The Water Heater Man and Jay answered. Immediately he put me at ease and asked me to send a few pictures of the existing water heater condition. He explained next steps and availability which was next day and we agreed. I was very impressed by Jay's professionalism and expertise and would highly recommend The Water Heater Man to everyone! Appreciate a job well done!
Jay installed our new Hot Water Heater today. He was very informative through out the process and was reasonable in price. If I need to have this done in the future, I would call Jay. Thanks Jay.
Jose V.Last night I had a water heater leak. I texted Jay and other contractors through Yelp and he responded within minutes (awesome). Much faster than any other. I sent him pictures of the water heater and explained the problem. He gave an estimate on installing the same set up and set up a time for the next day. Today he gave me a courtesy call and confirmed his time. That's a big deal when a contractor shows up on time. I also have a circulation pump he estimates at $400. I saw it on Amazon for $150-225. I ended up paying the mark up. But overall, Jay was very professional, efficient, clean install and was slightly lower in pricing compared to his competitors. He also followed up a couple hours after install to make sure everything was in order. I would recommend him if you needed a water heater.
