My 13-year old Bradford gas tank water heater started rumbling very loudly like an earthquake and had sprung a small leak at the base, dripping into the drip pan but not overflowing luckily (turning down to Low helped alot). Called Joseph and he was able to come out Sun early morning. He and his partner replaced the water heater quickly and professionally. We have hot water again! Thanks to Joseph and his crew! read more

I recently hired Efficient Water Heaters for my elderly mother, and I was honestly blown away by their level of customer service. They were incredibly attentive and made sure she felt comfortable with everything that was happening. They also showed a lot of patience and care, which meant a lot to both of us. They gave us their best price upfront with no awkward haggling and no pressure. Everything was straightforward and fair. They also walked us through what needed to be done and made sure the installation would be completely up to code, which gave me real peace of mind. The whole experience was smooth, professional, and far better than what I expected. I truly cannot recommend them more. read more

Great work. Props to Omar who worked on thanksgiving. They were rated good on yelp and their quote was in the middle of the three i received so I went with them. Upon arrival, he laid down tarps on my floors to protect against damage and dirt. He then did a removal of the old 50 gal tank, cleaned all the debris under and adjacent to the tank. After, he did a super clean install of the new one. All the flex pipes were routed nicely. Additionally if you look at the old tank, the gas line was installed doing a 180 to attach it to the tank. The new tank was done right. I am glad I went with Efficient Water Heaters and will definitely use them again if i am in need. read more

A month ago I put out a call via Yelp to get my tankless water heater flushed. I got a number of instant replies and chose Efficient Water Heaters since they said they were experts in Navien brand tankess which sold me on using them and their quote was similar to others. I was doing some DIY research and saw that pumping vinegar through the system is how the system is typcially cleaned out. I was really concerned and screened for only natural products to be used. Joseph's reply via Yelp's message is below. I clearly asked and he tersely replied that he only used "natural" product and it was citrus based. Ok, great. I booked an appt. Well, once his tech got to our house and we asked to see this unknown "citrus" product that Joseph was annoyed that we asked twice about, it turns out it was Lime-Out -- A CHEMICAL and CAUSTIC agent! The Navien folks, when asked, even tell techs to NOT USE this product, it will damage the internal parts of your water heater!! We called Joseph to confront him on why he was having his tech use this and he HUNG UP ON US! He was also changing his pricing on us as well and luckily we had printouts of our text messaging with pricing from Yelp. The Lime-Out would have "worked" in that we wouldn't have known for months that the Lime was eating away at our water heater's innards plus we'd have trace amounts in our hot water lines in our home. The owner will say "Everything is false." No true. We short paid him by $81 for the work but we were trying to talk to him and he hung up on us so we couldn't. So unprofessional. I'm sending him a check for the rest, this wasn't about the money. I do want to say that he and his team do know about water heaters. This complaint is about him using the wrong product for flushing, one that would have damaged our water heater over time. read more

I had Efficient Water Heaters come out to replace my old water heater and I am beyond satisfied with the entire experience. Scheduling was a breeze -- they got me in quickly and confirmed the appointment right away. The technician (Omar) arrived exactly on time, which I really appreciated. He was friendly, professional, and clearly knew his stuff. The replacement was done faster than I expected, and he made sure everything was properly tested and working perfectly before he left. No mess, no hassle -- just great work. What really stood out was how honest and straightforward they were. No hidden fees, no upselling, just a solid job done right. My new water heater has been running flawlessly ever since. If you're looking for a reliable, efficient, and trustworthy company to handle your water heater needs, these are your people. I'll definitely be calling them again for any future plumbing needs. Five stars all the way! Great value for money, for sure read more

Contacted them again and had a horrible second experience. They left the burner on the ground, was not communicative and when I questioned them they told me they were going to void all warranties. I would highly recommend going with someone else read more

They helped me to install a new water heater with latest building code. I called a lot of plumbers. But all of them told me they can't apply for permit for me. Or the work with permit included is much much more expensive like 2 times more than regular price like they are not familiar with that. Efficient water heater give me a reasonable price. It is more than no permit price. But it is not ridiculous. The work is done well and they called me for the instruction of getting permitted. A month later, city permit granted. The thing not good is they are not patient enough in the call. But in general, the work they are doing is very professional. So I am still give 5 stars. read more

Great service from Omar! A little bit later than our appointed time but they did call after and came at new specified time. Was not far from original time. From there everything went well. Installed in timely manner and communicated what needs to be done and the time for finish. As time progresses hoping to see the continued great service from them! read more

Joseph called and helped me diagnose the issue to try resolving remotely . He was happy to not have to visit and charge $0. The issue persisted however, and he had the parts available so next morning he came, fixed the issue and charged half what the other quotes did. Amazing service and super friendly and convenient as well. One of the best experiences for an appliance repair. read more

Joseph was able to respond quickly to my questions. The appointment was made early the next morning. Joseph and his co-pilot were on time, finished the job in less than 2 hours, including cleaning up. I was also shown how to operate my new water heater.

Arrived quickly, found and fixed issue, fair pricing. Would happily work with this company again.

Efficient Water Heaters were the first the call back after I requested assistance via Yelp. They were straight forward in their feedback and to the point. My electric heater is about 5+ years old but the water in Santa Clara has a lot of salt that clogs up both the heating element and the tank. They came in, we agreed on the price, they opened the drain in the tank and went to get a new heater and in no time it was back to working. They were also very helpful in explaining what could help with high salt water situation and about opening the faucet in the bath tub so that we don't clog the "expensive" faucets in the house when the water was turned back on. All in all, I am really happy with the work, very efficient and professional read more

Really Unreliable -- Would Not Recommend This company is seriously not punctual. Our first appointment was supposed to be 8-9 AM. Close to 9, I called them, and they suddenly told me they wouldn't come until 10 AM. I had other plans and was forced to move everything to the next day. Second appointment, we agreed on 9-10 AM, and I clearly stressed the importance of being on time. Still, they kept pushing it back: 8:47 AM -- changed to 10:30 AM. 10:16 AM -- changed again to 12 PM. Almost 1 PM -- still nobody; when I called, they told me 2 PM. At this point it's obvious they don't respect customers' time at all. Super frustrating experience. Would not recommend. According to the business owner's reply, continue commenting: This company is extremely dishonest and shows zero respect for customers' time. I even agreed to their ridiculous request to expand the original one-hour appointment window into a three-hour window. And still, they showed up four hours late, and I only found out about the delay because I called them -- that's when they suddenly told me it would be sometime after 2 PM. The technician who eventually arrived told me his boss only informed him about this job 20 minutes before. So the owner claiming "we communicated with you" and "we arrived on time" is simply not true. If a company cannot even manage its schedule properly, how can customers trust them with something as important as a water heater? Absolutely would not recommend. read more

Efficient Water Heaters - Brand new water heater! Omar was super fast very communicative the best - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me - San Jose, California

Avoid this company at all costs. This has been one of the most frustrating and disappointing service experiences I've had. Joseph installed a tankless water heater for us in 2023. Once the installation was done and payment collected, communication essentially stopped. Recently, I discovered that the service valve he installed does not even properly isolate the water heater, which makes basic water heater maintenance impossible. I called the company four days ago to report the issue and was told to call back the next day to schedule an appointment. Since then, every single call goes straight to voicemail. I've left voicemails and sent text messages and received absolutely no response. At this point, it feels like they are intentionally avoiding me instead of standing behind their work. They also claim to be representatives of Navien in the Bay Area, which I now seriously question and will be verifying directly with Navien, and I will try to report the dishonesty of this shop to Yelp. If you're considering using this company, learn from my experience and be extremely cautious. Once something goes wrong, you may be completely on your own. read more

What an excellent organization! Big Joe and Frank were so knowledgeable and helpful. They explained why we needed what we needed and provided it quickly and skillfully.

Great service. Responded very quickly scheduled the next day. Great follow up. Fair pricing I highly recommend efficient water heaters.

When our 10 year water heater finally gave out we decided it was time to upgrade to a tankless system. Upon putting the request out on Yelp, the owner contacted me immediately and after a few texts and photos shared, he had his team out to my house the next day to install a brand new tankless water heater system. The team sent to work on our house was professional and communication was seamless. The pricing was competitive and follow up was great. Would highly recommend the Efficient Water Heater team and the move to a tankless system. read more

Our water heater stopped working late one night and when I checked on it, something looked very wrong. The owner, Joseph answered my call and walked me through some questions. He quickly figured out the problem from the pictures and was at my house at 7am the next morning. He was able to contact the company, get the warranty info and got us a new machine the same day. He sent Omar out to install it for us and Omar showed me how to care for it and they offered a service guarantee. We had hot water again by 1pm and a new system with correctly done piping. I could not thank them enough! I highly recommend them and will use them any time we have plumbing issues in the future. read more

Very disappointed in their service and lack of honoring their work and warranty. After their diagnostics and I followed their recommendation of repairs, I paid for the repairs only for it to not fix the problem, which they said there would be a one year warranty. Upon the same day, I informed them their repair did not work and they responded that I need additional work done that would double the cost of what we already spent and to top that, they responded that I was trying to cut corners by not spending more money with them for repairs, while none of that information was shared as part of their diagnostic and recommendation. Read all the negative reviews and the way he responds to customers. read more

My 9 years old water heater didn't work on a Sunday morning. I tried to reignite the pilot light and flush the tank but none of them work. Requested Yelp help and Joseph was one of the first to respond. Joseph and Ray came out to my house about an hour or so later. Turned out I had a serious leak and had to replace the unit. Joseph and his team were very professional and quick in recommending a new unit and installed in within 1.5 hours. Such a quick turnaround on a weekend no less. I'm highly satisfied and will recommend Efficient Water Heaters. read more
