TLDR: These guys provided top notch service, were honest and have reasonable prices. They even came back a 2nd trip at no cost to me, after I informed them my original issue came back a few days later. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future
Our tankless water heater started making a loud groaning noise, but it wasn't something I could always replicate. Since our unit was under warranty, I called the manufacturer and ran through all the troubleshooting and no apparent error codes came up. The manufacturer recommended that I do a routine maintenance and gave me a list of 5 companies to call.
I called all 5 and decided to go with Pure Tankless after speaking with Gilbert. They were honest, upfront and transparent about their service/fees, and their fees were very reasonable and lower than the other quotes I got for a full tankless maintenance (not just de-scaling).
I made an appointment and 2 hours before the scheduled time, Gilbert called me to inform me their technician was running late from a previous job. Things happen and I appreciated the open communication and they gave me the option to shift to a later time the same day or reschedule and I chose to move the appointment to later in the day. Johnny the tech showed up on time at the new time and went straight to work.
My previous tankless water heater was installed incorrectly, with the flush valves mounted upside down. Johnny was honest and upfront with me told me he would not be able to complete the work unless they corrected this issue and gave me a competitive quote to rectify this issue. It was then that I realized the previous company I used to descale my tankless water heater had been ripping me off for the last 2 years since they have been "flushing out" my tankless incorrectly.
Johnny ran a full maintenance service (descaled and opened the unit to clean fan, igniter and all vents), he reassembled it and had me run tests (ran both showers and kitchen faucet). The loud noise I had heard before was gone! He cleaned up the area and left it cleaner than it was before he arrived.
Unfortunately, the next day, the loud noises I heard came back. I could tell the severity of the issue was less than before, they were still present. I called Pure Tankless back the next day and spoke to Gilbert again. Based on the updates and conversation, he mentioned my unit was neglected from deferred maintenance -- BUT NOT in a way to cast blame to me, but rather that they would need to do more cleaning than they thought. He offered to dispatch another technician to do further cleaning at no additional cost to me.
Gilbert came over personally the 2nd time and did another thorough cleaning for over an hour and even showed me pictures of my unit and gave me tips on maintenance I could myself that could help prolong the life of my tankless water heater.
After the 2nd cleaning, my unit is humming and working without any of the loud groaning noises. These guys were top notch professional, stood by their work and never tried to upsell me on additional services I didn't need.
Would highly recommend them for your water heater or plumbing needs. read more
