"Albert Nahman PHC installed new AC and Furnace for my house. I like them for several reasons -- 1. At first Tom explained in detail what equipment I need and how they work, and gave me a reasonable and detailed quote at end of the visit. 2. They offer interest free finance. 3. I got free upgrade for furnace when the original quoted is not available. 4. Their installer did good job, and cleaned up afterward. I highly recommend this company."

"Trevor is very knowledgeable and gave me great advice. The installation of a new Navien water heater became a two-phase project on his advice to see if a simpler installation would solve my problem of hot water delivery. Now that the new heater is installed with. recirculation valve, the system works to my expectations, hot water is delivered within seconds, not minutes. . Love the Navien. Thanks, Trevor!"

"Rick replaced my HVAC system. The process was seamless. We scheduled an appointment to inspect the existing system, and the available options were openly discussed. All of my questions were answered in a timely manner. There was no pressure to choose one system over another. In comparing his estimate to other companies, I found that I'd saved a lot of money. We discovered an incompatibility between the new equipment and the yet to be installed alarm system. Rick worked closely with the alarm company to make to marry the two systems. We gave the go ahead and the new system was installed in a day. The installation crew was polite and professional and so very careful to clean up afterwards. Thank you, Bragg Home Services. Yes, I recommend this company"

"We are incredibly grateful to Pedro Galvan and his team for stepping in during a moment of urgent need. When our hot water system suddenly failed, leaving us without hot water for daily essentials, Pedro responded with a level of professionalism, clarity, and compassion that is truly rare. From the very first call, Pedro was attentive, transparent about pricing, and committed to solving the problem quickly. He provided us with the most cost-effective and honest quote out of several we obtained—and, even more importantly, was able to come almost immediately when others could not. His workmanship was precise, efficient, and tidy. It was clear we were in the hands of someone who genuinely takes pride in his craft. In a world where so many service professionals overpromise and underdeliver, Pedro Galvan delivers exactly what he promises—and does so with warmth, integrity, and a deep respect for his clients. We recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing plumbing services."

"I was overall unimpressed with Payless but they did have some redeeming qualities, though it took a bit of work to get there.
When I first called, I was quoted a price over the phone of just under $1000 for the base cost of the until + installation, but was told that I should allow for a couple hundred dollars cushion for all the unforeseen circumstances of my particular home, which I was totally fine with.
The technician arrived on Saturday, Jan 9 and saw my setup.  He noted that he would have to replace the unit itself, the connections as there was corrosion, install an expansion tank so it would be up to code, etc.  When all was said and done, the price was nearly double at over $1800 for a complete install.  I know they work on commission, but I definitely felt like this was a bit of a bait and switch scenario.
This was much more than I expected to pay, especially based off the (under)bid I got on the phone.  However, when you haven't had hot water for a couple of days with small children int house, you don't have the time and convenience to comparison shop, so I opted to move forward since Payless had gotten decent reviews on Angies List.
When the work was done, I examined it and it looked okay and we did have hot water, but I did question the way he set up the connections.  And there was something else that seemed off, but not being a plumber, I couldn't put my finger on it.
The next day I called in a friend who is a plumber to take a look and within a second he saw the issue.  Even though my entire house was copper piping, the tech used galvanized pipe on the install.  
Considering how much money I had spent, I was upset that I got a technician who decides to maximize his profit by installing galvanized piping, knowing that it corrodes over time and really should only be used for gas.  
When I called the company to complain, I spoke with a person who said the manager would call me on Monday.  After not hearing from anyone, I called back myself and was directed to Chris who was less than friendly.  He told me that galvanized was up-to-code and I should have requested brass or copper fittings if that's what I wanted.  I felt like that was an unprofessional answer, as I was not a plumber and was paying for their expertise in this area.  And when I complained about the gap in price from the phone call to install, I was told "Well, you signed the contract.  Maybe next time read it before you sign." which was infuriating and unprofessional to say the least.
He finally agreed to swap out the fittings for me but said the same technician had to come back and do it.  I scheduled my appt for the next Saturday morning.
By that Saturday afternoon, he had still not shown up.  I called throughout the day to get a status and on this last call was told "He hasn't shown up for work today and we can't get a hold of him so we'll have to reschedule."
I had been home ALL DAY waiting for this tech, so I explained that wouldn't be acceptable as I just rearranged my entire Saturday and had I not been persistent in calling,  likely wouldn't have heard from anyone.  They called me back and told me another tech would come by today.
That tech came by and was clearly more experienced and knew what he was doing much more than the first tech.  He was pretty taken back that the other tech had used galvanized and not only swapped out the fittings, but redid the setup to be much cleaner.
So at the end of the day, I got a great heater and correct installation, but it took some time, effort and persistence to get there.  Normally, I would have been much more easy affable about the situation, but the way Chris spoke to me on a couple of occasions really made me feel unvalued as a customer, especially when trying to right a wrong that should have never been the case.

"Very knowledgeable installer. The owner of the company also visited my home to deliver materials and check on the job. Starving Plumbers installed the water heater the day after I called them, so we were without hot water for just a single day. Knowledgeable and very professional. They were about $500 less for a top of the line American Standard Shorty Tank than the price another local plumbing company quoted."

"When the install was finished it was beautiful like it very much the two installers Ryan and Tanner did an excellent I repeat excellent job. They had the job installed cleaned up and working order in about 5 to 6 hours excellent workers. I guess the only bad thing I would have to say is the length of time from purchase date to installation date was very long"

FAQs for boiler installation projects in Mill Valley, CA

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350
