During the Fourth of July weekend, the couple residing in my rental unit departed for a vacation,…read moregranting me permission to enter their home for preventive maintenance. Upon inspection, I discovered that the water heater was not functioning, as there was no hot water available in the unit. To address this issue, I contacted the RHEEM customer service number displayed on the water heater. A technician promptly returned my call and attempted to guide me through various troubleshooting steps to reignite the unit; however, these efforts proved unsuccessful. The technician ultimately suggested that a specific component had likely malfunctioned and provided me with a list of certified Rheem technicians in the Chicago area. Unfortunately, the Rheem technician I reached out to from that list did not respond to my inquiries. I have had great luck with businesses on Yelp that received a large number of favorable reviews over a long period of time. For that reason, I decided to contact Fast Plumbing 247. I was fortunate to speak with a plumber named Mac, who returned my call within a matter of minutes. He requested that I send him photographs of the water heater's model number and the unit itself. After reviewing the images, Matt promptly called me back and provided clear, step-by-step instructions on how to restore the water heater to working order. Remarkably, his guidance proved effective, and I was able to resolve the issue. Once again, the unit has hot water. What truly stood out during my interaction with Mac was not only his willingness to share his technical knowledge but also his remarkable patience. I struggle with even simple tasks of this nature, and Mac's calm demeanor made the process significantly easier. He meticulously explained how to remove the guard to access the pilot light window, advised me on the best positioning to view this awkwardly placed window, and guided me through the steps to relight the pilot light and restore the water heater's functionality. Thanks to Matt's expertise, I am able to enjoy the holiday weekend without further complications. Based on this experience with Mac, it is evident that the plumbers at Fast Plumbing 247 are not only responsive and technically skilled but also honest in their dealings. I fully intend to rely on their services for any future plumbing needs and wholeheartedly recommend this company to others.

The company then quoted me $2200 as the cost to replace it and reiterated that this did not include the $99 that they already charged me.

I then got no less than 10 phone calls saying "please give us a call so we can talk about your situation. Some called more than once.

I highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a plumber - he's really one of the nicest plumbers I've met and he'd clearly and patiently answer any questions you may have. Their quote was also competitive. I'd definitely be calling them in the future for my plumbing needs! P.S. if you're unable to reach them at their phone/office number, try messaging them via Yelp.

My go-to plumber was backed up due to everyone needing new water heaters due to flooding. I had never used Dave and Joe's before, but they had great reviews (which I now suspect they're paying a service to provide fake reviews). Joseph installed a used, nonfunctioning water heater. Joseph told me it would be 6 hours before the water would heat and by morning I would have hot water. I thought that sounded like a very long time for the water to heat, but I trusted him because I've never been scammed before. I woke up the next morning to cold water. I had a water mitigation contractor at my home that morning who took a look at the water heater. He asked if I knew the plumber installed a dented, used water heater. I was outraged because I paid Joseph over $6,000 for installation of a water heater that was supposed to be purchased at Home Depot the day of the installation. I had to threaten to call the police to get Joseph to come to my home and replace the water heater. When he was leaving on the second day after installing a second "new" water heater, I asked how long would it take for the water heater to heat up, and he said about 45 minutes. I knew right then and there he had intentionally scammed me the night before. Additionally, he charged me over $6,000 for a water heater. I have since learned the owner has had multiple criminal charges for burglary, domestic abuse and driving while license suspended. This experience has really been eye opening for me.
