    They stand behind their work, they are fast, clean, consummate professionals and in the case of Ramon, easy on the eyes.

    I am still in the research process for this project, but I can say how impressed I am with Water…read moreHeaters Masters. They responded to my request so fast I thought it was a bot, but it wasn't. A real person called and left a message. I called back to explain what I was interested in and he scheduled an appointment for that day (I think). I was assured that I'd be called or texted when the technician was on his way. I expected to have to wait the full 2-hour window I was given, but no! I was called about 5 minutes before the window started to see if I was still available. The technician arrived exactly on time, right at the start of the window! After a short explanation of my needs he just said "OK, let's take a look at the space and talk about it." He explained every step of what they'd do to install a tankless water heater, he looked at the whole area to check for pipes, electrical access, spacing inside and out for a condensation line - making feel very comfortable that it would be planned before the installation to avoid last minute issues. A big plus, he told me he'd be part of the installation team. He also told me I should go ahead and get another few quotes. I think these guys are confident they're giving the prices in the sweet spot of costs. Then we spent time just talking about landscaping and plants! I'm not in a hurry to start this project, it's on my list of improvements and I'm just starting to investigate. However, I'm extremely impressed with the service given at this stage, the thorough approach in explaining, and the honestly. I will get another quote, but the next one has a high bar to cross; not only the service, but Water Heaters Masters quote was WELL below the only other quote I had gotten so far. I have a very good feeling about WHM. I'll come back to let you know more when I've finished the whole project.

    After a frustrating experience with another company, I'm incredibly grateful I found this team…read more My water heater started leaking from the second floor into the first, and I needed help fast. From the moment I called, they were responsive, professional, and honest. They were able to come out within an hour, which was a huge relief given the situation. The technician quickly assessed the problem and gave me a straightforward, fair quote $2,300 to replace the water heater, which was significantly lower than what another company had tried to charge me. No pressure, no upselling, just clear communication and solid work. They completed the entire installation in about two hours, and everything has been working perfectly since. You can tell they know what they're doing and respect your time. What really stood out to me was their honesty. I asked what they would have charged to replace my laundry room valves (something I had just paid way too much for elsewhere), and they told me around $350. That level of transparency says a lot about their integrity. If you're looking for a company that is reliable, reasonably priced, and professional, I highly recommend them. I'll definitely be using them again for any future plumbing needs.

    We had great experienced with Mr. Albert Nahman Plumbing, Heating and Cooling services for the past…read more10 years. 2 days ago, I called for a plumbing problem for our tenant and scheduled an appt the next day. The technician, Salvador G. came early, on time. He called me to let me know he's on his way. He fixed the plumbing problem, the tenant was very happy with the work. Salvador called me to Let me know the work was finished, sent me pictures via email of before and after the Job. This young man was very kind, polite and most of all knowledgeable of any kind of plumbing problem. He sent me the description and invoice of the work done. The job was done on schedule and at a very fair price. I highly recommend this company for plumbing and also for HVAC. They also installed a new furnace heater 2 months ago, they did a great job and completed the job on time... thank you for the great service!!!

    Albert Nahman installed our Heating/cooling system 9 years ago when we first bought our house and…read morethey were awesome then. Today, I experienced the "new" Albert nahman post-acqusition. Although the timeliness and service I received was good, it was expensive and the "process" left a bad taste in my mouth. My Carrier system started sending me warning messages about a motor issue for the furnace in the afternoon. Albert Nahman was able to send someone first thing in the AM. Within 30mins they were able to confirm that I needed a new motor. This is where the "upsell" started. First, they noted that I don't have a "membership". membership would give me a 15% discount on the needed fix (the fix was ~$3.5M so the discount was chunky). Second, they noted that if I don't have a membership, I may not get the last of the motor that's in inventory nor get the fix scheduled within the day (fix might not happen this week) . which is a lot of words for "pay to play" .... in other words, if I didn't pay for the membership I wasn't going to get my furnace fixed today. This felt sooooooooo icky. why make the poor service guy act like a friggin scam artist instead of letting them do what they're best at, install and fix things! What does the membership do? it gives you an annual maintenance checkup and 15% discount on services/purchases. The checkup doesn't cover actual service, just checking to make sure that things are working (which of course translate to a potential service call!). So if they're marking up all their services/purchases by 15% to sell membership, then "membership" is just free money for AN to extort out of potential clients who are very likely in a difficult situation (unlikely to call unless it's an emergency like the heater is not working when it's cold!). While AN got my system fixed today.... I'm not going to trust AN going forward but will start looking for alternatives to support our annual checkup/maintenance of our heater/cooling systems

    We had an unexpected issue (leaky wall faucets) when trying to get a new washing machine installed,…read moreand Ramon was able to come within a few hours to fix it. I appreciated being able to speak directly to him when I called, versus a dispatch service. He was up front and honest about the work required, how long it would take, cost, and possible (if unlikely) complications. All went smoothly. On his way out he kindly gave us some tips on other (unrelated) plumbing stuff to pay attention to / start saving for. As much as we wish the washer issue didn't happen in the first place, we're grateful that it ended up connecting us with Ramon!

Ramon was able to come out that day to diagnose the issue (transparency: there was a surcharge for emergency services but for us it was well worth it). Once he presented us with options, we were in touch the next day to confirm the route we wanted to go with and Ramon came bright and early the day after to begin the work. He was extremely thorough and not only completed the repair, but found another issue and fixed that as well. He patiently tested the shower temperature and explained everything he had done. He was truly awesome. His pricing was fair and he saved us from an even more expensive potential repair. We highly recommend LemonTree Plumbing and will definitely use them in the future!
