    Valve system and steam generator

    Absolutely THE BEST! Look no further for all your plumbing needs. Tracy is a master at what he does. Smart, talented, considerate of your project, and above all - honest! We hired him for a complex bathroom project that included a steam generator, multi-functional valve system, and moving a drain line. I knew from the first time we met that he was the person for the job. He asked all the right questions and you could tell he was anticipating and planning what needed to be done in order for the project to be completed to our satisfaction. He exceeded expectations and went above and beyond. When it comes to hiring a specialist for plumbing work, you want to make sure you hire someone that will have not only your budget in mind, but your interests and long-term success. Look no further than Tracy.

Note- I shopped around and read a lot of reviews of several companies. That paid off as I got prompt service at a great price!

    Ryan was absolutely incredible. We had debris coming from all of our faucets that looked like…read morerubber, and he immediately diagnosed the issue as worn-out washers in the under-sink angle stops (and not the water heater). He scheduled a follow-up visit once he had the parts, and because he had been here before, he knew exactly where our main line was located and shut it off quickly and safely. For us, that would have been a huge headache -- the shutoff is far from the house and mixed in with other homes in our small community. He went above and beyond, pointing out that the chalky dust on our fridge was likely from a bad water filter, and when turning the main line back on, he noticed and showed us a separate leak. That will be another (bigger) project outside of Washington Water Heaters, but I was amazed by his knowledge, thoroughness, and professionalism. On top of all that, Ryan was extremely friendly and kind with our three-year-old, which made the experience even better. We were so impressed with his skill, attentiveness, and genuine care. Highly recommended!

They were thorough in their explanation of how long our new gas water heater will last - the one they were replacing was 30 years old, and I wanted a new one that would last as long as possible.

I got three estimates, and these guys were not only the best, they actually knew what they were doing - they actually knew details about each water heater - and were more honest than the others I spoke to regarding two other bids. No hidden fees. A family company, selling American made tanks. I will definitely call them for anything water related. Top recommendation.

I wish these two did insulation, framing, drywall; I'd hire them (or anybody like them) in a heartbeat. Diamonds in the rough. Easiest 5 I've ever given, and we've had a lot of work done on our 1952 Seattle home. Can't recommend enough.

I have also had them replace a condenser in another system. Recently, they replaced a gas water heater with a tankless system. This was a difficult installation due to the location in the center of the house and the need to install intake and exhaust pipes to the exterior of the house. A technician and two installers made visits and then I was given a detailed proposal with recommendations and several options. The owner, Robert, called to answer my list of questions, so that I fully understood my options. The work was scheduled within the week. The technicians arrived on time, reviewed the project with me and kept me updated as the work progressed. They laid down protective coverings over hardwood floors, as they had to drain and remove the 80 gallon water heater through the living area. The installation required that they cut two access openings in an existing chase to gain access to an outside wall. They cleaned up afterwards and I could not tell that they had been working there. I have always experienced great service from the initial contact through the competition of a project. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend their HVAC and water heater services.

Instead of pushing for a service visit, he spent about 20 minutes on the phone patiently walking me through a few diagnostic steps because he suspected it might be a common issue based on my description. We were able to identify the problem together, which I'm very grateful for. That kind of honesty and willingness to help is rare and says a lot about someone's character. I really appreciate the time he took to help me out and would definitely recommend him and his company to others.

An AI voice answered the phone, asked me why I was calling, told me it was going to look up my account details, said it had a problem and that someone would contact me to follow up, and then hung up on me. A few hours later I got a text from "Cameron". I complained to "Cameron" about the experience I had from the AI phone answerer. "Cameron" apologize and told me that such an experience would frustrate him too...then "Cameron" decided to be transparent with me and tell me that he was in fact AI as well and "his" real name was "Carson". We went back and forth about 6 times to explain the problem I was having and to set up an appointment. Then "Cameron" told me that the time we worked out wasn't confirmed yet and that someone would be calling me to confirm the time. Thanks, "Cameron". This was Friday around 4:00PM. THE NEXT MORNING, a human being (I think) texted me from the same number to confirm the appointment. After I let them know how unhappy I was with the AI scheduling service, a human (I think) did call me and apologized for it. Then, on the day of the appointment, the technician arrived an hour and a half after the 12:00-16:00 window we had set up. I had to call them at 16:30 to ask if the technician was coming and they told me he would be there soon. When he did arrive, in the middle of me making dinner for my family, he told me that the faucet would need to be replaced and that it would be $750 (!!) in labor to fix it. Then I was charged $83 for his time (which I guess would be rolled into the service). So, in the end I still had a leaky faucet and I was out $83 with the option to pay $670 to replace a faucet (plus the cost of the faucet itself). For that price, I'm just going to do it myself. Then the spam texts started coming from "Cameron" asking about the estimate. I got one every day until I told it to stop texting me. This company used to be great but I'm going to be looking around the next time I need a plumber. Please ditch this stupid AI system. Please don't charge your customers if you're extremely late for your own four hour window - especially if the diagnosis takes five minutes and is "I can't fix it - replace the faucet".

Instead of just selling me the more expensive or larger option, he took the time to explain the pros and cons in detail and suggested installing a mixing valve as a better alternative for my needs. He was very clear and walked me through a few different options, which I really appreciated. On installation day, Brandon arrived right on time and worked quickly to get everything set up. There was a small hiccup because Brandon didn't have the mixing valve with him, but he was very transparent about it. He took the time to explain the pros and cons of the valve again, and I ultimately decided not to install it at that time. What really impressed me was the follow-up. Patrick called me afterward to check on the job and specifically asked about the mixing valve. He even offered to honor the original price if I decided I wanted to install it later. I spoke with three different vendors, and while their price was right in the middle, the Water Heater Doctor won my business because they were by far the most helpful and knowledgeable during the consultation. Highly recommend!

They sent someone over, who didn't really open the HVAC system panel much. I didn't seem confident that this would fix it. But they recommended to fix the drain pan inside the evaporator coil box, which they said was much more expensive. For clearing the drain pipe and gluing a loose pipe, which didn't actually fix the main problem, they still billed me $300 - diagnostic fee ($99) + 1 hour ($199) - (there's a 3% credit card fee, but they accept checks) 4 or 5 hours later, there was dripping again. I ended up calling Bob's, they sent 2 technicians who knew what they were doing (they opened the panel properly), they found and fixed the issue - it did not involve replacing a drain pan. Bob's only charged me the diagnostic fee of $175 and did the job right (compared to $300 that Green Bear charged)
