Antonio, Ivan and Ray are great at fixing and replacing water heaters. Always on time and friendly and professional service. Great local company! read more

received 4-5 quotes from plumbing companies to replace my hot water heater, but went with these guys as they only did hot water heaters, specifically asked for all copper piping, also a new shut off valve, all supply pipe was copper but all the fitting were shark bite and not pressed or soldered! Installer said he did not have the proper tool on his truck. Pressure relief valve piping was plastic even though original was copper. called the office and a guy came out and said it was fine. Not a customer service rep. response i expected. read more

Benla has replaced my hot water tank every 10 years. This is my 3rd. Marques Nunez, the technician did a GREAT job. Explained everything from removing & replacing the tank. It's a fairly tight squeeze & Marques left no scratches or damage. GOOD TO SHOP AROUND BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU WILL END UP WITH BENLA read more

worst experience ever. Two workers left muddy footprints all over laundry room floor, food wrappers on top of washer and dryer, charged $180 for a part they never installed. A manager came out to check the work a few days later and discovered they had not bled the lines and had somehow wrecked some part in the overflow tank that he had to replace. 9 months later today, a plumber informs me they never set the correct pressure in the overflow tank and it has likely been making city water meter readers read high values on my street water meter doing to rocking in the meter caused by the overflow tank not having the correct pressure set in it.

Marques was very professional, efficient and helpful. I recommend him highly. Ellen Barker read more

Even without it being an emergency, my new water heater was installed a day after accepting the estimate. Technicians Antonio and Ivan were friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we had any and all questions answered. I first used Benla back in 1998 and I'm happy to see they continue to provide top-rate service. read more

Needed to get my water heater updated and I was recommended to Benla by a plumbing company I called. Everyone I have talked with Benla has been so friendly and helpful. Jamal helped get me a quote super quick and answered any questions I had, and the price was good so we went ahead and scheduled it for the next working day. Marques and Antonio came to take down my old heater and set up the new one, and they were super nice and they were done half an hour faster than expected! My new water heater is now up to code and more, they kept my house clean through the whole process, and were even mindful of my cats. They also were great about explaining everything, which as a woman it can sometimes be tough to get info out of contractors. Hopefully they'll all still be working there in fifteen years when I need to replace my water heater next time! read more

I had a leak and no hot water. When I called Benla, they were able to get me in the same day to replace my water heater.

I had a catastrophe waiting to happen. When I got home from a vacation after Christmas, we discovered a leak in our basement. We used Benla in the past. We called and they came out in one day. They sent Ian, a Technician. He was very informative about the situation. He was professional and told us everything that was going on. He worked hard and within a few hours we were back in business with hot water. Thanks, Ian, and to all involved including Jamal and his manager. read more

The technicians were beyond helpful and highly professional. They were on time and very polite. Wish I could give 6 stars!

I finally had my new hot water heater replaced and it works. It's great that it was replaced for a newer one, but it ultimately cost me $1200 in plumbing fees. read more

Just had a water heater installed in a tricky place in our condo with no problems at all! This even involved a difficult situation removing a cabinet, and they did it with no issues and explained everything. The installer was super friendly, answered all my questions, and they even fixed something the previous installer (Fast Water Heaters) had screwed up 10 years back. I would highly recommend Benla, 100%. read more

Benla installed a water heater in one of our rental units in Greenlake ! Great price super friendly service and responsive! Our new go-to for water heater replacements ! read more

This is our third hot water tank with Benla turning them out every 10 years and it was the best experience yet. The price is always competitive and definitely lower than the other companies we talked with. Jake was the installer and was excellent! We cannot say enough good things about him, neat, knowledgeable and friendly. Kudos to Benla and Jake read more

Jake, from Benla Water Heaters, installed our new water heater yesterday. Everything about that experience was positive. Our previous water heater died over the weekend. We reached out to the plumber we have been using for years. He was unavailable to help us and recommended Benla Water Heaters. From the first conversation with Benla to the installation yesterday, everything was professional, thorough, and helpful. Jake obviously knew what he was doing; he was professional, careful of our property, arrived on schedule, completed the work in a careful and timely manner; the finished product looks great! The final cost matched the estimate so no surprises. Just a very positive experience! read more

My water heater started leaking on Tuesday. Scott had his guy come out next day and replaced with a new one. Their quote was the lowest and the model they replaced with cost about $200 more than others. Benla is reasonably priced, punctual, reliable, honest and very good at what they're doing. This has been the BEST service I have ever had. read more

The entirely unwarranted rudeness I experienced when trying to schedule an installation date made me wary of what it might be like in dealing with them if anything needed correction. read more

Had Mason come out to replace my water heater. He arrived on time and did an excellent job. He didn't try to upsell me on anything and took the time to educate me on water heater maintenance. He was absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend Benla to any of my family and friends. read more

Benla came in with a competitive quote on a Hybrid water heater. The install went smoothly. The people that came out for the quote as well as the installer were masked. The water heater has been working great, about a week down the road, plenty of hot water. Because we were getting a hybrid system we were eligible for a $500 rebate. Several days later I was on the Seattle City Light (SCL) rebate web site where it listed the things needed to apply for it, including a receipt for the purchase of the water heater from the contractor, in this case Benla, showing the contractor hadn't already taken and applied the rebate. I contacted Scott at Benla to ask for this, it was not something he was familiar with. He invested several hours of phone work to pin down exactly what needed to be done. The SCL site was incorrect. The process had changed back in April and contrary to SCL's instructions, the home owner that had a qualifying water heater installed by a contractor could not apply themselves. It had to go through the contractor. So, Scott sent a $500 check to us, then he has to recover that from his supplier who in turn has to recover it from the agency sponsoring the rebate. Quite the mess but because of Scott's persistence and professionalism we got the rebate. Overall it was a good experience and we would have no qualms in recommending Benla to others. read more

Our hot water heater went out on Sunday. We called on Monday and they responded quickly. We were very pleased with the service. They came during the time they said would and were polite and professional. read more

My service sales was Dean who quoted me $1150 for 10 year. Turns out that is for 6 year which Ray (the installer) said most condos do not cover and require 10 year. Was charged $1588 for same tank but additional 4 years warranty. Ray was experienced, 27 years working for Benla and competent. Installation and removal of previous 10 year water heater was in the price and time it took was 2 hours, 15 min. read more

I needed my almost 17 year old gas water heater replaced out of caution. I was surprised that Benla,who does nothing else,didn't have a current review. I called and talked to an amiable technician who fàswered all my questions. Thjs business has existed since 1947,and isn't pushing Yelp reviews. I got a apt. for the next business business day. Ray arrived a half hour before the window. He was finished without problem an hour and a half later. He was polite,quiet,and capable,what's not to like? They use Bradford White heaters which replaced the same brand that I had no problems with at all. read more

If you are buying, they are ok, if they screw up and have to come back, they are criminal. Won't fix the installation problem they created and when asked to fix the problem told me I would have to pay or to call another company that would care and then hung up on me....I would not buy anything from these jerks... Ever read more

Benla Water Heaters - Blocked my furnace filter door with the expansion tank and now won't fix it.... Incompetent crooks - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

I wanted to rave about Benla and their service. Ray installed 2 water heaters for me and did an outstanding job. He knows so much and offered lots of helpful tips. The company was very reasonable with pricing and did an exceptional job! Look no further...this is who you want for water heaters. read more

A family owned business that is local. I love the fact that they called earlier than they were supposed to arrive to let me know that an emergency came in and that they would be about an hour late. They arrived and were professional. (i.e. made sure to lay down a drop cloth etc)...While the old water heater was draining, they helped me out with two home repair issues that I had arise in my place that week (or morning as the case can be). They reattached my light fixture to my ceiling as it had come down earlier that week and that morning the pipe behind my sink disconnected sending water all over my bathroom. They were able to reattach the pipe with no difficulty. They saved me a call to my handyperson/plumber which was awesome! The water heater is working great and takes up smaller space than my old one and it set up well! They have been servicing my condo building for 10+ years from what I understand...In fact the old water heater was from them which I realized as they were removing it. read more

Very pleased with their service. We had to replace an aging water heater. They were punctual, polite and professional and made sure that the installation was complete and correctly done read more

It was easy and hassle free. I am in Capitol Hill in Seattle and called them. Described my situation and ended up needing a new water heater because of its age. I was able to send photos of the current water heater via email which made it simple to describe the model and its location (it was in a small closet in a condo). Scheduled the time window when they would arrive which turned out to be the next day. Dave called before he arrived. Great guy who knows his stuff and very careful to ensure mats were put down to prevent any damages to the floor. Honest as well. He said the straps that were on the water heater could be reused (saving a good chuck of money) instead of having to pay for essentially the same straps for the new one. The quoted price was pretty much in line with the final bill -- just two line items plus tax, no surprises there. I would recommend Benla Water Heaters. read more

Very rude customer service, know nothing and impatient. Avoid doing business with them!

From my first call when Jennifer scheduled my appointment, through Gary's service call this morning, I received excellent service. I appreciated that Gary wore a mask. He explained the steps he would take to evaluate the issue, what repairs were necessary and how to operate and/or troubleshoot in the future. He was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend Benla. read more

The repairman arrived when scheduled. The cost of repair was spot on the estimate amount. He had to call in another person to help move my 350 pound stone lined water heater and did not charge me extra. When deciding on the size of a new water heater, he did not try to upsell and helped me decide what smaller size to purchase. I couldn't be happier. read more

Not worth the money. Stay away. My wife called Benla in Feb 2019 to have them check our water heater. A guy came, looked at it for not more than 20 minutes and left. The price for his "service" was $220 . I called Benla to see whether that was a mistake. Scott said: "No, this is an automatic charge for any Benla service". read more

Ray with Benla did an amazing job with installing our new hotwater tank. I went from knowing nothing to now having more knowledge about water heaters than ever. Ray was a fast worker, great guy and got it done. The price was great compared to most other companies. Thank God we have hot water now during this snowmageddon!! Thank you so much! read more

I called several companies to check on the price to replace the water heater. Benla ended up being slightly cheaper (~50$ less) than the other companies, and we had previously gone with them, so we went with them again. After calling them three times, they assured me that the price was to be set at 1500$, this included everything that needed to be replaced, the labor, and part of the warranty. The appointment time was at 12PM but they showed up after 130PM instead and finished around 4 PM. Once it was finished, I was billed almost 1800$. They reused the earthquake straps we already had, so that we didn't need to be charged. When I asked them why was it not the said price, they said because not everything was included in said price. According to the contractor, the person who previously installed it (this same company) had put the smaller tank right above the water heater, which they weren't supposed to. In doing so, it overheated and caused a gas leak (potentially endangering the rest of the household), and that was what needed to be replaced. So conclusion, our water tank was fine and did not need to be replaced, it was the expansion tank that was leaking and needed to be replaced. They replaced our water tank and the expansion tank without first informing us of the extra charge an potentially saving us the money of replacing something that was not broken and what they were going to do instead of the agreed upon information. read more

Our expansion tank is leaking, and I saw that the previous owners had the tank installed by Benla due to the sticker on the tank. Honestly, before I called I didn't even know what the expansion tank was, and the gentleman on the phone kindly explained what it was and how it could be replaced - either by them or even by me. Going to try it on my own and if it doesn't work out I will definitely use them as they are obviously so trustworthy and not just about making a quick buck. read more

I had many problems with Benla Water Heaters and would NOT recommend them. I paid a good price for a new tankless hot water heater. Benla installed it and then left a gas leak in my home. They were unable to find the gas leak when they returned to fix it. I then called Puget Sound Energy, who found the leak and turned off my main gas line. I made many calls to Benla insisting on repair, which they did only after 2 further service calls to my home. read more

Geez they are grumpy and rude. I'm all about customer service and do not use this company unless you mind dealing with some seriously unhappy and abrupt service folks. I've now had a few experiences on the phone and in person and it was really unpleasant. They will install a water heater though. read more

Offered great advice on the phone, then quickly sent out repairman who deftly fixed my water heater and charged me exactly what the phone rep quoted. read more

So Benla installed a replacement warranty hot water heater for us in 2011. Today it went out again... Called the manufacturer and they gave us an authorization code to have it replaced. My husband first called Benla because their sticker was on the tank from the previous install. The manufacturer gave us some names of other companies but it was a Friday and they would not pick up the phones. The service tech who answered was nice until I questioned him on the $425 install charge on a warranty repair. He then proceeded to say that it would cost $1275 plus tax if we had to pay for everything. I told him I would call him back and called the manufacturer back. They said the water heater's MSRP was $445 RETAIL and that BENLA was no longer on contract thru them (wonder why?). That means that there is a $400 deficit. Like the previous reviewer said - MARK UP ON PARTS - plus he started arguing with me stating that my house was the problem when had never even stepped foot in the place! BOTTOM LINE: I can add - and apparently the person on the phone didn't think I could. He refused to tell me the MSRP on the water tank without labor (445.00) and wanted to charge another $425 for labor and that is not even close to the $1275 I was quoted if I had to pay for everything myself. SMH! read more

They sent someone out same day. David was very hard working and did a straightforward, professional job. Thank you Benla. Recommended service for water heater replacement! FYI: Licensed, Bonded, Insured.. read more

I've used Benla since I bought this house close to 30 years ago and once again today installing a new water heater they prove that their concern for the customer is just like it's always been -- paramount. Just an outstanding local company with outstanding employees. read more
