My gas tank water heater was 20 years old and I decided to replace it pre-emptively. I requested a…read morequote from 3 companies, one of which was the Water Heater Doctor. Their quote came in the lowest and Brandon was extremely helpful on the phone, so I ended up choosing them. - The quote process was great: I submitted their online form, they gave me a call asking for more details, I sent them a few pictures, and they gave me another call with solutions and a quote. The quote also happened to be the cheapest of the 3 companies I got bids from. - The installation went very smoothly. I understand that direct vent water heaters are a little tricky to install, but Brandon installed perfectly. He arrived on time, got rid of our old water heater, and added a new water heater with several fixes: the overflow pipe now runs to the sink, he used a "flex vent" kit so the water heater can sit on the ground, and he put the water heater in a tray to reduce issues from slow leaks since I don't have a basement drain. - After the install, Brandon taught me how to change the temp / turn the water heater off / how to flush it / how to change the anode rod. Very pleased with the work and my new water heater is working flawlessly. The only downside was that there was no permit. I'm no expert on permits. Portland's website says that water heater changes require a permit. Brandon said it's a "gray area" for residential. I am not planning on selling the house and things looked good to me, so I don't mind too much.

To begin, I used Precision Water Heater on two (2) separate occasions. The first time I contacted…read morethem because my hot water was not working. They arrived on time, assessed the situation, then provided a solution which resulted in replacing the tank. The quote I received was reasonable so I agreed to the terms and conditions to move forward with the services. The tech cleaned and removed all trash and materials after installing the new heater. A couple months later I had a service issue which resulted in a warranty item needing to be replaced. Precision came out right away and performed the required services. I'm truly grateful for these guys and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality service from their professional staff. Thank you Precision!

The water heater went out in our Portland, OR house, which is a big problem for the tenants living…read morethere. The house has a Direct Vent type of water heater, and those units are hard to find. After getting an extremely high estimate from a major national firm, with restrictive install dates (this kind of thing can't wait), I called Precision Water Heater and immediately connected with Paul. He provided a complete quote, on the spot by just looking at pictures, and located the right unit and installed it the very next morning. All work was completed within his originally quoted budget (a much better price than the others). In addition, he sealed the exterior wall outlet hole with special sealant that he purchased, and didn't charge me. I couldn't ask for a better experience or better contractor. I will use Precision for my future needs, and highly recommend them. bruce (california)

I called Sutherland to get an estimate for replacing my water heater after my neighbor's unit…read morestarted leaking. Since all of our homes were built around the same time, I assumed my water heater was also 17 years old and might need replacement soon. After I sent photos of my water heater and the model details, Ti took the time to look up the serial/model number on the Bradford White website and discovered that my unit was actually only 11 years old, not 17 as I had thought. He texted me back and asked for clearer photos to confirm the manufacturing date. I called him right away, and even though I currently have no issues with my water heater, he generously spent time explaining everything in detail. He told me that Bradford White is a very reliable water heater and that this model generally does not require routine tank draining for maintenance. He also gave me valuable advice for the future, recommending that when I eventually replace the unit, I should install it on a metal drain pan with moisture detection for leak protection. I was genuinely impressed by his honesty, knowledge, and willingness to help without trying to sell me something I don't need right now. He could have easily pushed for a replacement, but instead he gave me thoughtful, professional advice and saved me unnecessary expense. I truly appreciate the time he spent helping me over the phone, and I would absolutely recommend Sutherland to anyone looking for an honest and knowledgeable professional.

The water suddenly stopped running in my house - well, not exactly, it would run for a few seconds and then stop. I asked my neighbors and their water was all running fine. Portland Water Bureau said it wasn't their problem. So I called Sutherland Plumbing randomly, and we did some trouble shooting over the phone. It looked like it may be a VERY expensive issue in the pipe between the house and the street. Ti Sutherland found a time to come by, since this was kind of an emergency since we couldn't shower, and he found the problem in just a couple of minutes. Turned out it was only the HOT water that was being stopped, and it was a janky flood prevention device that had been installed with the water heater. The batteries died and it shut off the flow. Replaced the batteries, and boom! We're all fixed. Ti actually got a big kick out of the whole process. Solving problems is his bag. Highly recommend.

He explained everything in detail and what needed to be done. The next day, he arrived with a new water heater and showed me the rust running down the back of the old one. He installed it using earthquake protocols. Upon inspecting the water heater after installation, he noticed that the sump pump was not working correctly. He removed the top, and the problem was immediately resolved, allowing it to function as it should. Jake has an incredible work ethic and is open and honest about what needs to be done and why.

Suddenly, two new problems arose urgently in the business, with three smaller problems in the residences. Fortunately though, Terry and Jamie at TMP were excellent.

Someone got back to me right away, and scheduling was a fast. I originally called them out to service my water heater and potentially upgrade the heating elements. They were incredibly quick with the service, but what really blew me away was their honesty. Instead of just replacing the elements and charging me for it, they let me know they were completely fine and just needed a quick temperature adjustment. I was able to return the parts I had already purchased for a refund. They also noted that while my unit is in great shape right now, it is getting a bit older. They took the time to educate me on what to keep an eye on and walked me through my best options for a future replacement when the time comes. Amazing service, fair pricing, and incredibly helpful professionals. I'll definitely use them again in the future.
