Description of Work: Fourth time I've used this company. First and second were hot water heater repairs; they fixed what other companies said was unfix-able and saved me from having to replace the whole unit sooner. When the time came to replace the unit, they took care of that for me as well. Then I moved, and when the ancient hot water heater there started leaking, they took care of the necessary replacement there. They are courteous, informative, punctual, and very reasonably priced. Love these guys.

Told us he'd arrive between 9:00 and 10:00. He arrived a few minutes to 10:00. The job took almost 5 hours. He had to leave to run to Home Depot to get a part. Friendly and professional.
Description of Work: Gave us great info and advice over the phone. We spoke to two other companies and Stan's price was in the middle. We hired them to replace two old water heaters. Did a great job of installing the new, cleaning up, and taking away the old ones.

Overall, our experience was great! Our repair needed to happen on a Sunday, so we were fearful of the additional costs. In reality, it was a reasonable charge, only $30. The cost of the visit was about $70. After the initial call to the office, the tech contacted us within 15 minutes and was at our house within an hour. He was very nice and explained how the heater works, as well as showing my husband what he was doing to the heater as he was replacing the broken part. After he left, we had hot water within 30 minutes. He let us know that if the heater still didn't work, there would be no charge for a return visit. While I hope our water heater doesn't need further attention, we will not hesitate to call this company when the time comes!
Description of Work: We called this company because our hot water heater was not working. Brent, the technician, came to check out our situation and found that we only needed a small repair; the thermocouple had shorted out and we needed a new one (not sure on the spelling here). The part was about $11. He also checked out the heater overall and cleaned the burner.

After leaving an initial message with a receptionist, the technician (Rick) called me back in a timely fashion. He was great, very friendly, and personable. He spoke with both myself and our tenant to get the information needed. The problem was solved in less than 5 hours from the initial contact.
Description of Work: An 80-gallon water heater in a rental house of ours was not heating & I assumed it needed to be replaced. I was quoted $1100 to $1200 over the phone to replace it. After arriving for the service call, I was informed that it only required a new thermostat for $85. I was thrilled. Since this was all done by phone, someone could have totally taken advantage of me & replaced the water heater even though that wasn't necessary.

Mark was polite, reasonably priced, on time and did a good job helping me.
Description of Work: Mark picked up the old water heater (that had been there for over 20 years!) and installed the new one. It was more expensive because of the type of water heater and the venting, but he did give me a bit of a break in the price. I was very happy with their service.

Scott promptly returned my initial call and quoted me a firm total price of $629.00, and we scheduled the installation for between 3-5 PM on Thursday. At 4 PM Thursday, he called to say he had 2 more jobs before he could reach me so I suggested he wait until Friday when he said he had no other jobs scheduled. He said he would be here between 8:30-9:00. He arrived at 9:50 and immediately jumped the price to $651.00, ostensibly because he needed something from Home Depot for the earthquake strap. As Scott was collecting payment and about to leave, I noticed the new water heater was leaking more than the old one. He finally convinced me this was merely condensation.
Description of Work: Installed a new, 50 gallon gas hot water heater.

Randy was on time, and he spent about seven hours doing the installation, checking systems and making sure everything was operating correctly before he left. I highly recommend Randy and his company.
Description of Work: I had a new gas water heater installed for my AquaTherm hot water heating system. This is NOT a typical water heater installation. Randy's work was superb. He did the job right the first time. He was thorough, and he took his time to do the job the correct way.

Same day service. There was a little mix up over the time frame. We were called to say they would be earlier than the 2 hour window given and called later to say they wouldn't be that early. Actually came towards the end of the two hour window. Overall, a great experience. Scott was very courteous, professional, and friendly. Told us that even if we had another plumber install the Bradford White unit, Stan is the only authorized service company in Portland for this brand. So if there are any problems, we'd have to call Stan anyway!!! We called about 5 companies and Stan was the most reasonably priced. Another company, wanted $1,200 for installation alone because we have stairs.
Description of Work: Removed and disposed of old water heater. Installed new Bradford-White unit to code.

WE PURCHASED OUR HOT WATER HEATER FROM STAN THE HOT WATER MAN A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEY'VE ALWAYS GIVEN US GOOD AND RELIABLE SERVICE, BOTH WITH THE INITIAL INSTALLATION AND WITH ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAD ACCIDENTALLY CALLED AN HVAC REPAIR PERSON EARLIER THAT DAY WHEN WE DISCOVERED WE HAD NO HOT WATER. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SIMPLY THAT THE GAS WAS OFF. OUR BIG LESSON--IF IT'S THE WATER HEATER, ALWAYS CALL STAN FIRST!
Description of Work: WE AWOKE ONE MORNING TO NO HOT WATER. WHEN I CALLED STAN THE HOT WATER MAN AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, HE STOPPED RIGHT BY. AS IT TURNS OUT, OUR KITCHEN REMODELERS HAD TURNED OFF THE GAS THE DAY BEFORE AND FORGOT TO TURN IT BACK ON. HE QUICKLY FIGURED THAT OUT AND HELPED ME GET IT TAKEN CARE OF AND THEN DIDN'T EVEN CHARGE ME FOR THE SERVICE CALL.
