Absolutely top notch, everything you could hope for in a contractor--knowledgeable, trustworthy, and top quality workmanship at a fair price. In our case, the leak turned out to be a straightforward fix, but we would choose A2Z again in a heartbeat if and when our heater needs replacement. read more

Fred and Joey are fantastic water heater specialists. They came on time for my free estimate to inspect my water heater that was over 20 years old. Their estimate was fair and when I inquired when they could remove the old water heater and install the new one they informed me that they could do it the same day. Less than 3 hours later a new Rheem professional grade 50 gallon water heater was installed as well as a thermal expansion tank, new stand, drip pan, and all new accessory items all up to current code. They handle the warranty registration process and the building permit. No hassle on my end. Plus the tank comes with a 6 year warranty with the option to purchase an extended 10 year warranty. I highly recommend that you consider Fred and Joey for your water heater repair/replacement!!! read more

If you are in need of a new water heater, I absolutely recommend Fred and Joey and A2Z Water Heaters. We learned that the igniter on our existing unit was broken and prior to purchasing this home the inspection noted a few things not being up to code. I did some research on various social media platforms and A2Z had a notable amount of positive feedback so naturally they were the first place I reached out to. During Fred and Joey's visit to give me an estimate I was impressed by how they explained what they saw with my current unit and what they would do with a new unit. On top of the items called out in the inspection report, Fred pointed out a few more critical items. I shared the estimate with my wife and explained to her how thorough the estimate process was and we felt comfortable enough to work with A2Z. From what I saw during the install process a few days after the estimate, Fred and Joey are passionate about their craft and they have their workflow down to a science. I wish all service providers would conduct themselves as well as Fed and Joey did. Thank you for everything! read more

A2Z Water Heaters - New water heater with a handful of corrections and updates to replace the previous unit which was not up to code. - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me

Got my water heater replaced on Jan 9th. My water heater was leaking from the bottom, so I needed to replace it. Fred and Joey did an excellent job. Fred carefully explained the problems with my old water heater and highlighted several issues with the previous installation. They took the time to walk me through the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I fully understood how the new system works. On January 19, I noticed a wet spot in a closet(clothes plastic storage bin) was on top of wet spot so I didn't notice it right away and wasn't sure if it was related to my old water heater or the new one. Fred and Joey promptly came out on January 20 to inspect the situation. They thoroughly checked everything to ensure it was in proper working order and worked to diagnose potential causes for the leak. read more

What can't I say about this company. They are great. Fred came out quick when he heard my water heater was leaking. He quickly estimated the job, came out the business day, repaired all the water damage, and installed the heater back to code all at a reasonable price.

A2Z Water Heaters - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me

Fred confirmed appointment on phone, then again 30 minutes before appointment time. Showed up on time. He was thorough with his assessment of my water heater replacement needs. Mine was not a simple job. he spent about 20-30 minutes assessing, then discussion options with me. Asked some questions. In the end, he felt the best option was not to use his service but rather have a tankless water heater installed (he described pros and cons of this). He offered a referral. I felt like Fred took his time to understand our needs. Took his time explaining our options and commenting on pros and cons to each approach. And he was keen to make sure the work was done up to code. Felt bad we didn't use his service in the end, but we both agreed that was the best option. Great guy. Recommend. read more

A2Z were amazing to work with! As a landlord, my worst fear is getting notified about something that is leaking and I got that dreaded text about the water heater at 11 pm on a Saturday night. After perusing Yelp, I decided to give Fred (the owner) a call Sunday morning. He was one of a few that were open on Sunday and he was so courteous and professional. He came out within two hours to look at the water heater and tell me what he could do. He was extremely thorough in his explanation and reasoning to what he was going to do/replace and why. Not only that, he gave a folder with all the information as well. There was no pressure to hire him but he was so knowledgeable that it would be crazy not to! A2Z took less than a day to replace the water heater and bring everything back up to code. It looks great and I'm so glad I went with them. I had quotes from other places but A2Z goes through the whole process with you and it is worth it. Thank you! read more

Outstanding customer service and work. I knew I had a geriatric water heater that needed replacement and it for whatever reason was put into a corner cabinet inside the house when the last owner was here. I got a quote from another "big" company that took a quick glance and then simply indicated that the added difficulty of the placement as well as the fact that there were multiple needs to bring it up to code were the reasons for the unexpectedly high bid they gave me. I then called A2Z and they came out promptly to provide a bid. They also found multiple issues but explained each of them thoroughly and took their time to figure out how they could best resolve the problems and ensure safety to my home and myself. Their bid was significantly lower than the other company. Fred and Joey returned and did a fantastic job that clearly was not easy, and they worked relentlessly. The two of them seemed to make a very thoughtful and efficient team, carefully contemplating some of the complexities of my home's situation to bring it all up to code. They cleaned up thoroughly and explained everything I needed to know about the new water heater. The company then took care of scheduling the inspection (passed with flying colors) and submitting the warranty. So glad I read the other 5 star reviews and called A2Z. I'm now telling all of my neighbors! read more

Well my water heater finally went down. Fred had helped me previously on short notice on this same heater when we couldn't get it to fire up. This time it was late into the day when I got home to cold water. I had promised to use Fred A2Z when this heater needed to be replaced. He just returned from vacation when I called and told him what the issues were. He said it probably needed to be looked at the same night I called. He came out took a look at it and indicated it probably should be replaced given it was overheating and sending water out the pressure release valve. He gave me a quote said he could be back the next morning to make the install. Came back as agreed swapped out the water heater made some improvements to the setup and cleaned up after they were done. Fred is a personable guy knows what he is doing and is very fair in his pricing. His work is top notch and on point. I am pleased to have used his water heater services. read more

I would highly recommend A2Z ... and thank you again Fred for being such a good person your help with my question. read more

Fred, Joey, and Shelley provide the most courteous and professional customer service I've ever seen. Fred provided a lot of information on water heaters - more than I thought there was to know.

My parents water heater stopped working. I called A2Z Water Heaters and Fred and Joey were at their house in 1 hour. They determined problem and water heater could be repaired. Parts could be obtained under warranty and contacted Rheem to have the parts sent out. Fred and Joey were back in 1 hour after being notified parts arrived. Parts were installed quickly and water heater back in business. Old gas line was replaced and tank flush was done no charge. Insulation blanket was removed, which was actually a safety hazard and not necessary. Fred and Joey were very patient and kind in working with my dad, who has lost his hearing and minimizing time my parents were without hot water. They care to do a quality job.

I'm not sure what others charged since I didn't get other bids but I felt what he charged was fair. Fred and Joey arrived the next morning and told me exactly what to expect with the job. Three hours later I have a new water heater. Shelly was on it with the permit, and she even scheduled the inspection for me.

Fred and Joey are fantastic. I have an 8 year old water heater that needed a new igniter, burner, and anode rod. Fred was professional, thorough, and competitive bid.

We called Fred on a recent Saturday afternoon over the Presidents' Day holiday weekend when our water heater stopped supplying hot water, and the original installer told us they only had a Tuesday appointment available. Our water heater was fairly new, only installed in September 2021. Fred said that he'd come out to our home on Sunday to check things out. He arrived when he said he would and provided quite an education for us. It seemed our recently installed system failed many safety features and even had melted insulation around one of the pipes. Additionally, it was not earthquake safe at all. He noted that we had an unusual brand of heater but said he'd try to locate parts for it on that Monday. After discussing the lack of safety features with our current set-up, we decided to have Fred install a new system. His price was excellent, and he and Joey installed it that day. What an efficient team! Even their tool boxes were color coded. We had hot water about an hour later. Shelley (Fred's wife) contacted us to arrange for city inspection. The inspector came out and quickly gave us a pass. He commented that our installer does quality work and he always enjoys inspecting his projects. We certainly were thrilled with the quality craftsmanship and safety education we received from Fred. He is a local contractor who obviously takes pride in his work. read more

Hiring A2Z Water Heaters was one of the smartest decisions I made. For reference, I am a young woman in my early 20s and know nothing about these types of subjects (cars, tools, plumbing, anything like that). And you know that means I'm at risk of getting scammed, which means I have to make sure I hire the right people. Fred came in the day after I called him to check out my water heater which is 19 years old. It's never been flushed out or even touched! He thoroughly explained each part of what the water heater does, what certain risks are, what parts are right and up to code, and what parts are wrong. He was very patient and informative the entire time I talked to him and you can absolutely tell he has a passion for water heaters. I walked away with not just a quote, but knowledge about my water heater. It sealed the deal for me because I truly felt he is someone I could trust and also could deliver high-quality work with NO shortcuts. We decided to replace our gas water heater and all of its additional parts instead of getting the SMUD rebate of a hybrid water heater (which Fred does not install, so you'd have to get a quote elsewhere). He was honest with his professional opinions and observations with hybrid water heaters vs gas water heaters, as he outlined both pros and cons that would fit my interest. Something I also love is that A2Z doesn't third party people to do the work (which some companies do and we have had poor experiences with). Fred the owner is the one that does and oversees the job along with his partner Joey. When Fred and Joey came to do the job they were on time, professional, and patient with any additional questions me or my mom had. Fred is also very knowledgeable about other aspects of houses since (I believe) he has a general contractor license, so if you have any questions surrounding those topics you can be sure to ask. Overall it was a great and personable experience, so definitely check out A2Z for your water heater needs if you're looking for someone passionate, diligent, honest, and professional. read more

I hired Fred and the business to take a look at my 20 year plus old water heater which needed replacement. He did a fantastic job. Including replacing and updating to current codes required. Very professional and conscientious of detail and cleanliness. Highly recommend his business. read more

You won't find a more competent, detail oriented or nicer guy than Fred and Joey at A2Z waterheater. Took out an old 17yo unit that was ready to explode. And put in this beauty with all new plumbing, gas lines, circulator pump and ball valves in several places. I was super impressed. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended!!!!! read more

A2Z Water Heaters - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me

Fred and Joey were amazing. When they got here, they went over every detail as to what they were going to do. They even pointed out how horribly my first water heater was installed. It wasn't even up to code! Everything Fred and Joey did was clean, fast, and professional. The price was very reasonable, and they used top notch products. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their water heater serviced. read more

Let's start with this: YES, they are as amazing as everyone says! I've been around long enough and worked in a Customer Service capacity earlier in my existence to know that "over the top" isn't used much any more to describe business's treatment of their patrons.....but this is one of those times where every single mark was hit without fail: "Fred will be there at 8am to provide an estimate and will test you before to let you know he's on his way".: I get a text at 7:30 and at EXACTLY 8:00am (no kidding) Fred rings my doorbell. "Fred will review the situation and walk you through what is needed": I learned more about my water heater from Fred through this project than I ever expected....and not a pile of useless information but real-life facts and direction that will help me for a long time to come. I get an estimate, agree on the price/date/time and I get a packet of paperwork with truly helpful things like "what to do prior/during/after installation", their bona fides/certifications, smoke alarm/carbon monoxide requirements (needed for the inspection after), a list of FAQs, reference sheets from the equipment manufacturer, a list of glowing reviews and contact #s for the local permit offices (why? I'm not sure, because they set up the permit and the inspection for me). "Your appointment for the replacement is on Monday at 8:00am": Another text at 7:30 and this time, Fred shows up 3 minutes early.... because he's an overachiever. :-) I have a picture of the layout of all his equipment....an OCD-ers dream....a place for everything and everything in it's place. He's done exactly when he says he would be and he walks me through everything he did before taking off. At the home office, Shelley's support is.....again....over the top. Emails with the warranty that they submit for you, the permit that they apply for you and send the final document to you later, setting up the inspection and explaining exactly what to expect....and finally, checking up after to be sure the inspection went well (which, of course, it did). Yes, I could have had it done cheaper by another company but this is a case where you get what you pay for. I honestly expect to never ever have to even think about my water heater for the remainder of my existence..... How often do you get to say that about an appliance? In conclusion, run, don't walk, to A2Z if you have a water heater problem! read more

Fred is awesome . He is fast and professional and does the job correctly the first time. He also has a passion and stands by his work. Water heaters are something out of sight, out of mind until they fail. So glad we chose Fred. We had our Professional Grade Rheem tank installed professionally for a fair price and one less thing to worry about. read more

Came on Saturday and inspected it and back on Sunday to install. Took 6 hours and I had hot water. Defending recommended them.

I have nothing but glowing remarks for Fred and Joey (and Shelly too!) After going through a bit of a run around on my home warranty's vendor, Fred came out next day, provided me all the information I needed, gave me a fair estimate and scheduled work for the very next morning- which was a SATURDAY! I cannot thank them enough, they took on a job in an old house, full of tricks and weirdness, in the HEAT, brought my doggos treats, and left me with a beautiful, functional, and SAFE system. I am beyond thrilled and have no doubts I wouldn't have gotten nearly as fine work out of the other 2 bids I had. Thank you again! If you have any doubts- call them out, let him assess and see how you feel, I bet you pick 'em, and you should! read more

I watch the nextdoorneighbor.com site and read it daily but especially notice when a company is recommended on something I know I will be needing in the near future. Well you didn't disappoint. Our water heater lasted a good 15+ years and I knew it would be soon. Behold yesterday taking a cold shower in the morning was not fun. Called Fred from A2Z Water Heaters. He answered right away and came over right away. By 1:30 my new water heater was installed. He went above and beyond my expectations. Explaining every detail, the why and how come. I wish I had taken a before picture. He added so many items and changed things around that brought it up to code. These houses being slapped together it was missing a lot of safety items and most inexpensive parts. The products are high quality so you think the ending is going to be really expensive. I was shocked at the cost for what I was getting and what was done. Exceptional work and customer service. I had asked around a few years back getting ideas on what the cost would be? Lets just say it was no where close! The main reason for not replacing it until it died. Thank you neighbors! Thank you Fred Ford with A2Z and Joey. read more

A2Z Water Heaters - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me

Our water heater stopped working so I called A2 and they were quick to respond, do a free diagnostic, and even called the warranty company to get the parts required for the repair at no cost. The fee for labor was fair and at market rate, and the work was done in about 20 minutes after they received the parts. Very honest and reliable business, I would recommend them if you have any water heater related issues. read more

I called A2Z Water Heaters in July and I apologize, I have been meaning to write this review before now. The owner Fred did an amazing job installing the water heater! He specializes in water heaters and truly is an expert in this field -top notch and very professional, not to mention the most reasonable out of the other bids I got. He went above and beyond doing some extra's to bring my water heater area to code from a prior installation without charging me extra, and his accomplice Joey was excellent too. If you're in need of a water heater, please call A2Z water heaters, you will be in excellent hands and so happy that you did! read more
