We had our Rheem water heater repaired October 31, 2025. The water become lukewarm, no hot water…read more We called Crystal Heating & Plumbing to fix the problem. They replaced the lower heating element and the bill was 400 $. Two months later in January 2026 the water heater stopped heating water again. We called Crystal Heating & Plumbing to look at the problem. They told us that the lower heating element needs replacement and also the lower thermostat needs to be replaced. The cost was to be 350$ just for the parts. We could not believe that we need to replace the part that was already replaced 2 months ago and that their diagnosis of thermostat is truthful. Decided to call Rheem technician to help us diagnose the water heater problem. It shows that thermostats are good and the lower heating element needs to be replaced. We just had it replaced 2 months earlier by Crystal Heating & Plumbing and they again wanted to do the same job and have us pay 350$ for parts and unspecified amount for the work to be done !?! Because they lied to us about the thermostat and the lower element was just replaced by them we decided to have it fixed ourselves. The parts that supposed to be 350$ we bought for 70$. After draining the water heater we unscrewed the lower heating element and it was all covered by 1/4 inch calcium deposit. ????? That was not possible in case if the part was replaced 2 months ago. They did not do that, just charged for it. It is impossible for heating element to get so much sediment in 2 months !!!!!!!!!!! We screwed back the newly purchased part and the hot water was back. We write the review to let other people know how deceitful and untrustworthy people working for Crystal Heating & Plumbing are. They refused to acknowledge the scam and refused to refund the money for previous fictitious repair. Stay away from them unless you want to be cheated.

What an absolute nightmare it has been dealing with this so called business. A several day long…read moreproject, turning into several months long. Severed gas line. Full prior knowledge and prior work on property to have this all being avoided. Prior work on plumbing that could have avoided this entire pipeline fault in total. No accountability. 50% over estimated cost. No written documentation. No paper trail. Just continued dishonesty and lack of accountability by Andy Barber. Legal fees not worth fighting the over estimated cost. I have never been this disappointed with a local business in my entire life. My family has been dealing with this company for 4 generations and have provided them tens of thousands of dollars of business. It's incredibly discouraging that individuals do business this way. Learn from the trust this business broke and steer clear of them like the plague.
