The work was done quickly but I feel price gouged. Kept adding items that increased the cost from what I was expecting to be a repair to major replacement. Bit of sticker shock. Combination of pump and pan was like buying a second water heater. No package deal offered and prices seemed on high end. They showed up on time, got the work done quickly and so far everything is working but they really try to sell you stuff including spending more on warranty.

OUTSTANDING! Our hot water heater tanked and was flooding our garage floor, so we called Express Water Heaters at 8:30 AM based on a google search. His price was the cheapest in my search, so I was a little skeptical. Well was I ever wrong! After talking with Robert "The Boss", I felt assured that he was a straight shooter and hired him for the job. By 10:30, a new water heater was delivered to our garage. By 1:30 Robert and his technician arrived just as he said. Within a couple of hours the new water heater was installed and I could clearly see how their workmanship blew away whoever did the previous install. They did a super-quality job and made some improvements with an emergency shutoff valve and overflow drain and tub. They even dried the flood on the floor and left the area looking much better than when they arrived.
To sum up: They were prompt, professional, courteous and informative -- but here's the kicker -- the lowest priced too! Robert really knocked me out with his exceptional value. They're a rare case where a low-price leader provides topnotch service that exceeds your expectations. (And Robert's a real gentleman too). I can't recommend him highly enough. You will NOT be disappointed!

We contacted this provider after reading all of the extremely positive reviews others who had used this provider had posted.  We certainly were not disappointed and join with all of those in expressing our complete satisfaction with the service we received.  Our water heater went out on Saturday of the Labor Day weekend, but waited until Monday to call to see how soon the work could be scheduled.   I spoke with Robert and he set up a time for the following day to install the new water heater.  He and Neal arrived at the scheduled time, replaced the old water heater  with a new one, and in no time we were once again enjoying hot water!   They did a first-class job and we couldn't be more pleased with their excellent service.   We will definitely use their services again in the future and recommend them to others without hesitation!

Our 12 year old Rheem started dripping around the safety valve on a Sunday evening.  I called Robert early on Monday morning after researching online for a bit.  Express Water Heaters & Plumbing had excellent reviews and they live up to them.  Robert scheduled us later the same day.  Robert and Neal are very professional and knowledgeable.  They answered all my questions and quoted a very reasonable price.  The job was installed better than the original.  They were very neat and they cleaned up afterwards.  I would definitely use them again.

He was right on time. He said he would arrive between 900am and 9:15am, but actually arrived even 15 minutes early!  He and his partner were total professionals and got the job done promptly. Robert(the owner) was courteous and professional. I will always call him for any plumbing needs and I will refer him to friends, as well.

Water heater started leaking bad this morning. Called Robert at 10:30 and they said  they'd be here between 1-3.  They even had a coupon on Angie's List for $650 (plus $50 recycle fee on the old heater).  They showed up on time & got to work.
It was a good thing they measured the water pressure, as it turned out I had a broken pressure regulator and the house was at 130 psi instead of 60-70.  Bob was able to replace the broken regulator for $320 while Neil finished the new heater in the garage.  They were packed up & finished by 3, and everything is back to normal now.

The installation went smoothly. No problems. Bob Damuth arrived on time in the AM. Took out the old water heater. Installed a new one with new extra safety features (e.g., pressure valve). Removed old water heater and left premises clean.

Called in the morning on Monday, and they were on site at 1:30, right on time as promised. Installed new water heater with all new gas and water fittings, new pan, and left the job clean and neat. Used the Angies List coupon and the installed price for the entire job was nearly half of a major competitor. Fair prices, good workmanship, great responsiveness and customer service. Robert, the owner, was on the job and a pleasure to work with. Neal, his assistant, did great work and was professional and clean.  As a manager of a large service company, I can tell you that these are the people you want to use for a new water heater or emergency plumbing. I highly recommend this company.

The Mobile Home Park had shut off the gas to every unit while doing some repairs.  Somehow, they forgot to turn the gas back on in our unit.  My sister called my at 8:30 pm, stating she had no hot water.  I was flying out the next day and could not help her.  I emailed this company late at night, and by 07:35, they had contacted me and we set up a time that morning to go out and investigate the problem.  I was furious to find out the Park had not turned on the gas, so I paid $125.00 to have someone do that and relight the appliances.  The point is, however, this company was prompt, courteous, and I would use them again in a heartbeat!  They even called me back in the late afternoon to see if everything was OK.  Really, really happy with this company!

I had literally just signed up for Angie's List and the following day I noticed a small pool of water in the garage around the water heater. I logged into Angie's List and started researching water heater companies. I read the many positive reviews for Express Water Heaters and called them. They were very professional and gave great advice over the phone, They gave me the option of coming right out to install a  new heater or save $100 and they would come out first thing the next morning. Since our leak was small I opted to save the $100. As I was not able to turn off the water source they had an employee come out that evening and turn it off for me. They came out the next day and installed a new water heater (and misc parts) in less than 2 hours! They also had my old heater picked up the same day for recycling!
I will be using this company again for all my plumbing needs!

Bob was responsive and punctual.  He made the experience of getting  my water heater replaced rapid and  painless.  There was a small gas leak after installation, which he promptly returned to fix.  His prices are lower than any in the big box stores, with no hidden charges, and the units that he uses are very high quality.  I had an additional problem with the plumbing under my sink, and he diagnosed it immediately.  Instead of setting up a separate appointment to come back to fix it, he did the job there and then in record time.  You can't go wrong working with  Bob.

It went great. We woke up on a Sunday, and noticed our hot water was out. Robert came to our place within an hour of our first phone call, and had it fixed very quickly. Robert was extremely professional and very knowledgable. While he was at our place, we asked for information about whole house water filtration systems, and he was a huge help. He informed us about an option that was thousands less than the one we had been looking at. I would highly recommend Robert!

My hot water heater stopped working, I called Express water heaters spoke to Robert who seemed to know what was wrong and quoted to fix it.He turned up ahead of time, which was a good thing as I needed to go out soon, helped me to sort out what was still covered by warranty. He was pleasant and professional ,getting the job done, cleaning up and explaining exactly what he had done. Great job.
