I was more than impressed with Chase and his company! The first time I spoke to Chase, he spent at least fifteen to thirty minutes on the phone with me discussing the best option. Chase was out to the house within a couple days and instead of making a quick sale, which he could have done, pointed out several potential safety issues that needed resolved. Chase left our house without selling or billing us anything and gave us time to call around. We ended up calling Chase back out to fix the issues and install a new water heater, which we have been very happy with. Chase was efficient and knowledgeable, and his work was very clean and professional. I will recommend KC Water Heaters to anyone who asks. Thanks again Chase!

Our 17 year old water heater decided to spring a leak. We contacted Chase on a Saturday afternoon. He took the time to explain over the phone in-depth our options and gave us a quote. He showed up on time Monday morning and completed the install in good time. He also corrected a flue flow issue we didn't know we had. We cannot say enough positive things about Chase's professionalism and quality of work. We would highly recommend you contact him next time you need your water heater serviced!
There is a reason this guy gets 5 stars. Beyond knowledgeable and honest. He explained everything and answered all of my questions. I will refer him to anyone!

Hot water heater died this morning and saw all the great reviews for this company. Called them up and the owner, Chase, was here in 2 hours to install a new water heater and even fixed some things that were done incorrectly from the previous owner/servicemen. Chase was VERY knowledgeable and showed me everything I needed to know about my new water heater. He was also the nicest serviceman I have ever dealt with. He will always have my business ,as well, I will be referring anyone to him and his company, no doubt!
Best experience I have had when it comes to having work done on my home. I will never call anyone else for water heater/plumbing assistance. I could go on but the 5 stars says it all.
I was very happy and satisfied with the company service I feel that if I ever need the service again this is the company I will use. I would recommend Chase to everyone.
Highly recommend! Very professional and even wiped up damp foot prints off my floor on his way out and hosed off my walkway where the old water heater had left a small trail. Absolutely won't be disappointed going with KC Water Heaters

As the owner/operator of KC Water Heaters, Chase’s level of professionalism, courteousness and quality of work cannot be beat. I reached out with exactly what my problem was and what I was looking for. I received a response 2 hours later on a Sunday night. His communication was very upfront and the price he gave me for the estimate was good for the quality of work and product I wanted. He called ahead and was on-time and got right to work. Even the smallest details were not overlooked. I probably slowed his work down quite a bit by chatting, but he still finished in under 3 hours. The job was perfect. Big box stores have their time and place, but if you want to support a local craftsman, professional and small business owner, Chase at KC Water Heater is the one to call.
I seldom write reviews, but the service I received was above and beyond! Chase explained exactly what was wrong and how he would repair it. If you have a water heater issue, don't waste your time calling anyone else. Reasonable price, fast service, courteous!
Owner Chase Thompson of KC Water Heaters is very knowledgable when it comes to this niche' market. In fact, I was referred to Chase by another very competent master plumber. KC Water Heaters offers expert advice on all aspects of water heaters - from BTU capacity and venting to pressure regulation and expansion tank. Chase cares about the integrity of his industry and provides excellence to his customers at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

We needed to have an 18 year old water heater replaced quickly because we were leaving town the next day. I researched several plumbing/heating and cooling companies in the Kansas City area before finding Chase Thompson of KC Water Heater. Chase was listed in the member directory of the Shawnee Chamber of Commerce. I called KC Water Heater at 9 am and after speaking with Chase on the phone and receiving an estimate much lower than the local competitors I hired Chase. He was at my house within an hour and completed the job in hardly any time. Even though Chase was the low bid, it was more the way he talked me through the process and possible solutions. He definitely has great customer service skills. We are thrilled with our new water heater and Chase even took care of a water line problem while he was there. I would highly recommended this company.
I wish I could give KC Water Heaters more than 5 stars.
I can't say enough good things about this company. After a horrible experience with a local plumbing company, Chase (the owner of KC Water Heaters) got us all fixed up and at a lower price than what the other plumbing company quoted. If you need a water heater - CALL CHASE!!! You won't regret it.

Our water heater went out finally after 27 years. I called Chase on a Sunday and he spoke with me over the phone and thoroughly went over all of the options/prices I would have to either bandaid fix the problem on our own or replace the unit. We chose to replace the unit and he came out the next day after 5 and worked until after 8 PM which I consider extreme dedication to the job. He was very thorough in explaining some issues we were having and also gave us a few referrals for furnace and electric work we also needed. He was CONSIDERABLY cheaper than anyone else around town and he was honestly one of the nicest people I've had come to my house for work and really took the time to explain what was going on in the house. Oddly enough, my parents water heater went out at their house the next day and I immediately referred them to Chase.
Chase is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Honestly the best experience I've had with hiring a home service contractor. Not only did he do exactly as he said, and charged the exact price quoted over the phone, he also educated me throughout the process on ways that I can prolong the life of my new water heater. I had no idea about water main pressure and the reason for adding a pressure reducing valve and expansion tank. He also went above and beyond and fixed some duct work that had nothing to do with his installation! There's no reason for me to look anywhere else moving forward. I will call Chase for all future water heater needs and will be referring him to family and friends.
Chase called me back right away and helped me troubleshoot a fix for my water heater over the phone! Will use him in future for replacements.
Chase brings expertise, craftsmanship and amazing service - at a reasonable price. I highly recommend him. He makes sure your whole setup is safe and reliable. I am so grateful to have found him and his business. You will be, too!
Chase took the time to find the cause of our problems; reviewed which type of water heater is best for our area and fixed piping that was never installed correctly by other people at no extra charge. He was very respectful of our home and needs. He also went through step by step on how to maintain our water heater for the most efficiency. Totally would recommend and/or use again!
good fair price, willing to explain all details and answered all my questions. walked me thru maintenance for unit, over all a most positive experience and would recomend him for your needs
These guys are prompt, professional, neat, well-organized, and helpful. They go the extra mile and do a good job. Extremely pleased.
It's been 8 months since I got them replaced my old water heater and it is working good since then. Chase was willing to giving estimate based on the pictures of my existing component, explaining what's needed for the new installation and what can still work. Their pricing was lower than other large company in the market. The installation was neat, everything cleaned out after completion. He also explained to me how the atmosphere draft type of heater suffer when there is negative air pressure in the basement, and how my old unit is suffering from top panel rusted out. Adequate new air for the combustion, suggested me to install air louver allow air from the finished basement to supply new air.
About the Bradford brand heater he installed, I think it is good, we got 6 people showering same night(not concurrent) and hotter water did not run out.

Excellent customer service and know-how! Chase was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! While I hope we don't have the need to replace another water heater anytime soon, we will definitely recommend KC Water Heaters to anyone we know who does!
It’s hard to find contractors who are passionate about what they do. I’d guess it’s probably even harder to find a contractor who’s passionate about water heaters. That’s the only way I can describe KC Water Heater. Chase took my call on a Saturday evening during a Chiefs playoff game for a non-emergency service call, and we talked plumbing for nearly an hour. He’s competitively priced and he pays attention to the details that would otherwise be overlooked. I’d highly recommend using him for your water heater project and you can live with peace of mind that you aren’t getting ripped off or half-ass workmanship.

I would recommend Chase and KC Water Heater to everyone looking to replace their system. He was very knowledgeable, explained everything before beginning work and pointed out some other areas of plumbing (a DIY job before we owned the house) that were visible near our system to keep an eye on. He also replaced some plastic line with copper to our humidifier.

I chose KC Water Heaters over another company because the price was better and I figured a specialist in water heaters would do at least as well as any other plumber. Chase not only did a great job, he also found and fixed a minor gas leak from the furnace -- no extra charge! He also stood by his warranty and replaced the water heater's bad igniter even though it failed through no fault of his own.

Great price, great experience and fast work. Chase also gave tips for care and an extended warranty to his work after the install. Can't recommend enough.
Chase just came out to my home after I found an issue early this morning. He is very professional and knowledgeable in his area of expertise. I would say around 10% higher than some other estimates, but honestly, the quality was great and he walked me through the entire process. You can also tell he takes a lot of pride in doing things the right way. Let me tell you what I loved, absolutely loved about this guy. He is very detail oriented and courteous with making any mess. As he's cleaning up, he opens our front door and it sticks a little bit. After 4 encounters with the door, I hear a power drill and 3 min's later my door is fixed and I think he was more happy than we were. I'll call him everytime

This company is great! They are very honest and professional. I didn't need a new water heater this time but will be using them again when I do.
Update...... A month later my water heater exploded and flooded my basement. Apparently we did need a new water heater
The new water heater was installed within 3 hrs. of my phone call. I will recommend KC Water Heater to all of our friends and neighbors.
Our water heater gave up on us the week before Memorial Day, so you can imagine how hard it was to find someone to want to come out and replace it. My husband contacted Chase and he was more glad to come over and do the work. He is so knowledgeable and was actually teaching me how to deal with my heater. I appreciate so much that he was willing to replace it cause otherwise we would have gone days without hot water. They are definitely my go-to company for all my plumbing needs.
Really friendly guy, who really knows his stuff. I've already recommended them to my friends.
Excellent service with a great price compared to their competitors. They went above and beyond with helping me get access to my drain and add a part to my sink. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Chase, my apologies for the late review. I want to thank you for your outstanding work on replacing my 2 old water heaters for the larger single unit and replacing my pressure regulator. Also, thanks very much for repairing my copper-to-pvc leak coming from my old system too! You know your stuff and I appreciate your knowledge and explanation of everything you did. Glad you didn't mine all of my questions! Great business and great job. It was nice talking with you. Take care.
Had a new hot water tank installed a few months ago. Excellent communication and the installation looks great. Chase really knows his stuff and helped solve a persistent backdrafting issue. Highly recommend.

I explored several options for water heater installation, and KC Water Heaters gave me the most reasonable quote by far. Chase responded to my emails very quickly and was easily available for installation within a few days of my inquiry. Not only did Chase give me an honest evaluation of my best option, he went above and beyond by ensuring I knew how to use my water shutoff valve if necessary and offering to send me information for a necessary tool. He ended up installing an easily accessible valve for me since mine is apparently difficult to get to. He finished the hot water heater installation within two hours and it looks great! Instead of recommending more expensive repairs or replacements to the system, he patched up a few areas completely free of charge. He finally made sure that I understood the important details of the heater. Chase is an honest worker who does an outstanding job! He told me this is his only focus, so he definitely knows his stuff. I would highly recommend!
I called KC Water Heaters on a Monday morning and appointment scheduled for following morning at 10 AM. Chase is a true professional at what he does. He called me at 9:30 and arrived as scheduled. Personal opinion is you will not find a more pleasant, courteous, knowledgeable, honest, or conscientious installer. His character and service is exceptional. Highly recommend to close friends, neighbors, and anyone else needing water heater service.
My HWH started leaking a lot the last week of the year---it was almost 20 years old so I knew I would need a new one. I called on a Saturday night and they were able to get me in the following week, of course they verified if I still had hot water (I did) -- it wasn't an emergency. Chase came out on time and did a fantastic job replacing my HWH, adding an expansion tank, and even took care of some venting that will help me down the road when I replace my furnace. It's nice to have someone with in-depth knowledge of water heaters and all the intricacies that accompany them. I feel good about the work he did, and he also was able to help me get a rebate from Spire! It's literally a win win. Thank you again Chase!
Recently had a KC HVAC company that drives the pink trucks around town (which I had a service contract with for annual inspections) give me a hard sell on my hot water heater being near end of life and recommending that I replace it ASAP. Their estimate seemed extremely high so I searched online for a different company to evaluate my water heater and estimate a replacement cost.
I came across KC Water Heater and read a number of the reviews on Google and Yelp. I remember thinking at first that the overwhelmingly positive reviews seemed too good to be true but decided to give them a try and now can say that was a great decision.
I contacted KC Water Heaters to get a second opinion. Chase performed an inspection and said he didn't see any reason to replace it such that it looks like it should last another 3 to 5 years. I was impressed by Chase's detailed evaluation of my water heater and honest recommendation of not replacing it at this point. Even if my water heater had needed replaced KC Water Heater was far and away more reasonable for the estimated replacement cost too.
Call KC Water Heater without any reservations for any of your hot water heater needs. I would rate them higher than 5 stars if that was possible.
Professional, prompt and responsive. Contacted via website, was onsite the next morning for the install. We texted back and forth a couple of times to discuss the install and spoke on the phone as well. No mess left behind and the install was perfect. 5 stars!
Absolutely outstanding. This is an owner/operator. He is running a small business and does great work. The guy you speak with on the phone is the guy putting in your water heater. I researched pricing and other services provided in the area and KC Water Heaters was the best option. He charged me hundreds less for parts than others and worked on the job until it was done right. The install of my water heater ended up being a longer job due to the age of the home, the vents and the piping. KC Water Heaters ensured everything was squared away. He even checked his work - noticed a small leak in a fitting. He took extra time and effort to make sure it was PERFECT. This is clearly an individual who cares about his business and customers. He does the great work at lower cost than other major plumbers. Give him a call if you need a water heater. Photos attached are before and after photos of the install.

KC Water Heater came out and was able to fix my plumbing issue-
They were Punctual-Professional-Precise-Priced right-
I highly recommend them-
Great Experience-
Fantastic job at a fair price. Kind, considerate, and very knowledgeable. You can tell Chase takes pride in his work and is an expert in this field. I cannot recommend any higher; simply awesome job and awesome guy.
If you have read the other reviews like I did you should be calling Chase right now! Hands down, the best service I have ever received. Not only did he do an amazing job at a reasonable price, he found an issue with my existing hvac system and even called them to notify them of the problem after they told me there was nothing wrong. This is how you run a business.
Labor Day morning awoke to no hot water and a steady stream of water running from the bottom of my old water heater. I called several well known plumbers in the KC Metro Area but none could make it today. Then i got ahold of Chase with KC Water Heater. Not only did he bring out and install a new water heater on Labor Day but his price was about 40% less than the nearest estimate from other plumbers. He was very professional, immaculate in his workmanship, very neat and clean but he also explained the why's to a lot of questions i had. I can not say enough about the quality paired with affordability that is so rare today.
I would highly recommend this company.
Again, Thank You Chase.
Called on a Sunday evening and had my new water heater installed by noon on Monday. Chase was honest and knowledgeable and didn’t try to sell unneeded things. Great value as the final bill came under what I thought or even quoted over the phone. Hopefully I don’t need a new water heater for the next 15-20 years, but I will call kc water heaters when I need another one!
Excellent job! Professional, courteous, and affordable. The other six companies I got quotes from were over priced and I was preparing to replace the water heater myself. KC Water Heaters was the last estimate. The quoted price was within my expectations for a water heater replacement so I hired KC Water Heaters. Chase ended up replacing a gas shut off, replaced the flexible gas pipe with hard pipe to new unit, and rotated my existing Y vent to meet distance from combustible material using my existing single walled vent saving me over a hundred dollars. Other companies wanted to charge me for double walled venting. Both solutions meet code but Chase's solution reused existing vent and saved me over hundred dollars. I would refer KC Water Heater with confidence for any water heater replacement job.
Chase is amazing. Very honest, professional and knowledgeable. He communicated with me every step of the way and walked me through everything in great detail before he left.
Chase is the owner of this company and is extremely professional. He showed up exactly when promised and did an excellent job replacing our water heater. The price was also exactly what was discussed on the phone; no trying to sell us something additional. I would highly recommend his service.

Call Chase now - don't even waste looking at other options for water heaters.
Our water heater went out, and I first tried a larger name company in town - that was a quick mistake after they quoted an outrageous amount. I called Chase, but he wasn't going to be able to get to me for 2 days - we have 3 kids (one is a baby) so we needed hot water back ASAP. I went about scheduling someone else who gave me a quote over the phone and said they could probably come the next day to repair/replace.
BUT it was what happened later that afternoon/evening that made us go with Chase - he texted me tips to troubleshoot, and when one thing didn't work he gave me other options to try. This was BEFORE I scheduled with him. He was simply doing this because he cared and it's clear he loves what he does. It was free advice, no strings attached.
After that, I cancelled my other appointment and scheduled Chase to come out in 2 days.
It was worth the wait and cold showers I took.
He walked me through options, pointed out things to be aware of and went above and beyond
It's clear he's knowledgeable, honest and loves the work he does. I would recommend him for any water heater work and only wish he did more than just that.
You won't be disappointed - with his service, quality or prices.
I called KC water heater to get a bid on having a new 80 gallon electric tank installed in my home. Chase was extremely helpful and professional! He spent a lot of time with me on the phone and worked hard to try to find me a unit quickly. His prices were very reasonable! We will certainly use him in the future!
Chase with KC Water Heaters was recommended to me. I contacted him about a 15 yr. old water heater question in our new home. He was so kind, patient & informative. I will definitely be using his company when necessary, in the future. Thank you for your counsel, Chase!

Chase with KC Water Heaters was great! Very knowledgeable! I got quotes from 5 other companies, not only was he the cheapest, but because all he does is water heaters during the consultation he discovered things the other guys never noticed!
Read all of the reviews on Chase and his company. Everything is true. Honest, thorough, personable, professional and gives options.
Replaced our failing water heater, corrected a long standing issues from others and got us setup very quickly. Knows his business and makes it simple on you.
Highest recommendation from us!
I recently decided to replace our 15 year old water heater once I heard the new regulations were going into effect. I called Chase and he provided me all the information I needed to determine what size water heater would be right for the house. During install Chase took the time to custom fit the incoming water and gas lines instead of just making the existing lines work. What I appreciate most about Chase was that he cares most about his workmanship and the customer's satisfaction. Lastly, his quote was spot on and very competitively priced considering the time and materials. I highly recommend Chase and KC Water Heaters.

Chase did an amazing job installing our water heater he was fast professional and affordable cannot recommend him enough! Great local businessman who takes pride in his work.
I did a lot of research and got quotes from 8 major companies for a replacement water heater and then came across KC Water Heater. I don’t usually look for smaller companies on a big job, but when I looked at his reviews and saw that all of them were five star I had to give him a shot. He won out over all the others. He spent time going over options very thoroughly with me over the phone (even after hours 😳). what should have been an easy install was a little bit more difficult because of location of heater and codes, and he was the one trying the hardest to come up with a solution I’d be happy with. He showed up on time, was very personable, extremely efficient and informative, and left a very clean work site behind… he installed the exact same product I was quoted by all the other companies without a ridiculous markup, and I don’t regret my choice and will be using him again when this water heater expires, those five stars are well earned! I even had a plumber in my home the same day of installation for a different issue who asked to see the heater install after Chase left and he had nothing but good things to say about the clean install and he is a local competitor!!!

Highly recommend! Chase took the time to educate me on my options and things I needed to look out for in my older home. They were quick, affordable, and trustworthy. Happened to find this company online when my water heater quit at 7pm on Thursday night. He was there by noon Friday, able to work me in to have it resolved in less than 24 hours.
Great service at a reasonable price. I was referred by another local business and am happy I took their word. Very professional, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience with KC Water Heater and Chase. He knows his stuff, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Can't recommend this company highly enough.
Did excellent work. Would highly recommend

I can't really say enough about how great Chase did installing a new water heater in our home during a challenging week of weather. By far the best experience I've ever had with a contractor. Chase is one of those people who would be good at anything he chooses to do. He just happened to choose water heaters and he's really good at it.

I'm glad I found Chase to come out and install a new water heater for us. While our house and the old water heater were only about 7 years old, the water heater was having some overheating issues and new thermostats didn't fix it, so we went with a new heater. He also found many issues with the original installer's work. He corrected everything and installed a new water heater, expansion tank and PRV valve in very short time for a competitive price. He also hauled out the old and installed the new without leaving any mess behind. I'd highly recommend Chase for any of your water heater needs.
KC Water Heater was able to return my call that morning, give a quote over the phone, and arrive on time same day. Chase quickly checked all existing connections and highlighted all areas that would be affected before he started. I couldn't be happier. If you ever have a hot water plumbing problem call KC Water Heaters first!

We had the best experience with Chase replacing our 23-year old water heater. We had several quotes and Chase was by far the best for our budget and he took the time to answer all my questions (and I ask a lot of questions!) before he even came out. He really knows his stuff. He is very professional, easy-going, and upfront about the work he would complete. He was honest about the potential for other things that he might find which could need updated. The quote and installation process were so easy and we’re very pleased with our brand-new water heater. Chase is so nice, and I highly recommend you give him a call if you need your water heater replaced.
I would highly recommend Chase and KC Water Heaters for any water heater services. TLDR; Above and beyond work for a great price, with friendly and timely service. 6/5 Stars.
I had a 17 year old water heater, that while still working, was giving off the sulfur smell from time to time. I hit up Chase, who did his due diligence before the job to make sure I actually needed a replacement, instead of immediately selling me a full replacement.
During the replacement, he diagnosed and replaced all other parts of the gas and water lines that needed updates, as well as fixing the exhaust venting. He also spent the time to explain all this work to us so we could understand the system for future maintenance.
Chase went above and beyond on the job and surpassed expectations.
He was detail oriented, trustworthy, diligent, very knowledgeable, and proactive. He was always ready and willing to share with me insights, tips, tricks, and explain the decisions of his work as well as what to look for in future maintenance. His focus and experience with water heaters really showed in what he did to resolve issues that I didn't know existed and at no extra cost.
Very affordable especially for the top quality job he does. He left the work area cleaner than he found it. Was on time, and verified in advance before his arrival.
An example something he does that goes above and beyond:
Chase collects a database from all his work on the brands and issues of every water heater he works on (with client permission). This database allows people to see which brands actual lifetime of use have been, problems they had, and other factors. This allows people to see real results vs just the claims on the sticker.
I highly recommend him for any and all water heater related needs.

After 3 months of limping along with cold or semi-warm showers, we finally got our tank replaced for HALF of what other companies estimated. Chase not only installed the new 50 gal tank with expansion tank, but also new flues for both the water heater and furnace and a new PRV. There was no more waiting as all the work was also completed upon his initial visit. The work performed was exceptional and Chase was able to answer every question. KC WATER HEATERS has our full and unequivocal recommendation. By working with a smaller company, we saved paying overhead costs and we were able to work with a professional who takes a substantial personal investment in his work. With minimal maintenance, we know we'll have a washer heater to last us a very long time.
When I called KC Water Heater I had no idea whether I had a minor or major problem on my hands. As someone who isn't mechanically inclined, Chase could have told me my water heater was shot and I wouldn't have known any different. Instead, after looking at it for about 10 minutes and re-lighting the pilot, he told me it would probably last a couple more years. He didn't try to sell me something that I didn't need right now. Rather than trying to make a sale that he easily could have made, he chose to tell me the truth. Thank you, Chase, for your honesty!

Scheduled new water heater as our is 16 years old and leaking. Instead, he fixed the leak and also fixed a cold water return we didn't even know wasn't working. Does exactly what is needed and doesn't over charge. Highly recommend.

This was a great experience. We got a quote from another, larger, company in the area that was almost double what we paid KC Water Heaters. It really felt like Chase cared more about doing the job well and helping us out more than getting our money. Plus I learned a lot about our plumbing and chimney/exhaust from him.
I cannot say enough great things about KC Water Heaters. Chase was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. It is obvious that he takes a lot of pride in his work. Highly recommended!
Chase has a wealth of information regarding the ins and outs of water heaters and took the time to explain all the available options to me without a bit of upselling. He ultimately went above and beyond on my install and for that I would not hesitate to recommend him to those in need of his services.

I had a great experience with KC Water Heater. They showed up when they said they would and even completed the work an hour early. They answered all of my questions, walked me through everything they did, and let me know what to keep an eye out for. I will definitely be using KC Water Heater for similar work in the future and will recommend them moving forward. Thanks for all of your work!
Top notch service and install. Chase cares about your home as much as his own. I will never use anyone else for a new water heater!!!
I emailed them pictures of my existing 1998 water heater for a quote on Friday. I received the quote the next day and it was FAR better than any other quote I got from the big local companies. Not to mention Chase did not try to convince me to buy a bunch more products/services like the big companies. They got me in the following Tuesday morning. Chase and his apprentice showed up right on time. Super nice guys, got everything (including water pressure regulator install) done in about 2 hours, cleaned up everything and were on their way. Very impressed with them and highly recommend them.

We had an excellent experience working with Chase. He was extremely thorough regarding what we needed and did not try to sell us anything we didn't need. His knowledge, expertise, workmanship and responsiveness were exceptional. I highly recommend him if you are ever in need of replacing a warer heater.
My old water heater broken down on a Saturday night. I called multiple places on Sunday morning, and Chase was one of the few who would offer me a replacement estimate over the phone with several options. Chase gladly came over on the same afternoon (still Sunday), gave me several options, and suggested where to spend more money on and where to cut cost,. We decided to listen to his advice by spending a little bit more money on a higher efficiency water heater. He also went through step by step on how to check water pressure and maintain our new water heater. In the end, Chase was the only person who offered to replace my water heater on the same day, and his price is the best I could find around town. Chase is awesome and I highly recommend KC Water Heaters.

One of the best customer experiences I’ve had in years!
I called KC water heater because my water heater vent into my chimney was backed up. I found out this is not a service they provide, but they spent 10 minutes on the phone with me, generously talking through different possible solutions. Because of my specific need, I was not a customer they were going to make any money off of, but they still took the time to help me understand my issue and point me in the right direction. (Based on their advice I probably saved $500+ ) If I need any hot water heater service ever, this is absolutely the company I will call!
Outstanding service and quality. I'm a good DIYer and thought about going to Home Depot and replacing two gas water heaters myself. So glad I didn't. Chase's experience showed me I would've made rookie mistakes. Top-notch work, clean work area, and Chase is a pleasure to know. The more I watched him work and talked shop with him, the more I realized I made the right choice.

Awesome service; very responsive, knowledgeable, honest and helpful. Provided a really good water heater with warranty at a great price as well as fixed the issue that caused the last water heater to go for almost nothing. I would recommend Chase in a heartbeat.

I can't say enough good things about KC Water heater. Our home was built in 2009 and an AO Smith water heater was installed. 2 days ago, the old water heater developed a leak on the top of the unit and was spraying water all over our utility room. The old heater was under warranty but we were told that the labor portion of the replacement was our responsibility. We were quoted a $600 service fee and the new heater would only have the balance of the old warranty. Additionally, it would take 5-7 to get the new heater in.
I then contacted KC Water Heater. We discussed possible options. Chase was extremely knowledgable and educated us about water pressure, expansion tanks and hybrid savings. We decide on the hybrid and he installed it that day!
In addition to his knowledge and expertise, Chase is a true professional. He contacted me later to let me know that his truck may have leaked some oil on my driveway and wanted to make it right. My husband and I have considerable work done on our house this year and lots of unrelated damage. KC Water Heater is the only contractor to acknowledge the damage and offer to fix it. The damage is very minor and not worth any extra effort.
Awesome job KC Water Heater!
Chase was great. A couple emails and he was able to quote a good price based on pictures. He showed up early, paid attention to details, and took care of us.
Chase is efficient, professional, clean and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain what was needed, what to do for maintenance, and how to operate our new water heater.
He is the owner, and does the work himself. So I highly recommend him both on price and getting the job done right.

Chase was great. He explained what he was going to do and why. He was very responsive to my needs and got the job done the same day. He had to work to
change the work that was done 10 years ago when I had a home warranty service replace the water heater. I found out thru Chase that it was installed incorrectly then and the reasons why. If I could go back and take that company to court, I would do so considering the safety issues that Chase pointed out to me. I am so thankful that I had someone like Chase to work with. I recommend him with the highest rating that could be given. Thanks

This is Brenda from Olathe. Chase repaired our hot water heater over $500.00 less then the plumbing company quoted. They were wonderful. Don't go anywhere else if you have water heater problems. Great business.
I will be honest, I saw these reviews and thought there was no way they could be real. To good to believe. But I emailed him asking about water heaters and he was so helpful and actually has a full database of water heaters he has replaced and their quality. He responded to many Emails and I finally scheduled an appointment.
He was on time and also so polite and professional. He fixed a bad connection to my humidifier because he noticed it was on the wrong pipe. He did not need to do it but still did. And he quotes his price upfront with tax included.
I have lived in this house 24 years and have never had a better experience.
I am glad to have worked with Chase and KC Water Heaters. Not only did he take the time to educate me on my very old gas water heater and how to optimize gas and heat efficiently, but he was a very pleasant person to talk to. Compared to other companies, he was very knowledgeable, communicative, and passionate about his work. I absolutely appreciate this. He quoted me on the same amount that other companies charge BUT did a LOT more for me than what the other companies had to offer. I will recommend him to my HOA community.

Chase was awesome! After getting the run-around from my home warranty company, they finally said to call someone and they'll reimburse me for it. Chase was the first person I called and he was able to come out to my house the same day. He was willing to talk to my home warranty company before getting started to help me get reimbursed for the service. The installation was very well done, and afterwards he walked me through the equipment to go over service intervals and things to look out for to keep everything running smoothly. The visit kept him busy past 5pm which I felt bad for, but he didn't rush around and try to hurry out. I can't thank Chase enough.

What a great honest professional to do business with! Turns out my problem wasn't the water heater....and he told me so...and diagnosed the fact that it was a problem with my sump pump not working properly and the water I thought coming from my water heater was actually coming through the floor under my water heater! Most, I think would have just given me a new water heater...I'm a single woman, and I don't know about these things. After years of being taken advantage of by service people, it is so refreshing to find someone so honest, so knowledgeable and informative about water heaters and troubleshooting the problem! I very highly recommend this young man and his company. When I do need a water heater....I'm calling Chase!
If you need a new water heater Chase at KC Water Heaters is the only call you need to make. He is very knowledgeable, professional, honest and meticulous. He will also save you a lot of money over some of the larger companies out there. For one thing, he won't try to sell you everything under the sun that you probably don't really need. I wish there was a company like KC Water Heaters for AC and all the other things that need service/repair/replacement in a home over time.

We had a leak in our 15+ year old water heater. I called Chase and he was able to come out that morning. He answered all my questions and was able to remove our old water heater and install a new one that day. He was very knowledgeable about the different building codes around KC and took the time to share with me how to increase the life of my new water heater with some simple once a year maintenance. I will call him if I have any future plumbing needs and would recommend him, especially if you have water heater problems.
Bottom line: Friendly, knowledgeable and did quality work at the best price.

We moved into a home with a 13 year old water heater, so I knew it was time for a new one. I knew exactly who to call. Chase at KC Water Heater of course! He replaced the water heater at our old place and we were more than pleased with not only the price, but more importantly, the quality of workmanship. He installs only high quality units that the big box stores just do not carry. Save yourself a lot of time calling around and call Chase at KC Water Heaters!
This should be your go to for water heaters or anything in plumbing. Chase is great and does amazing work. Believe the reviews, they are true. I can't be more pleased.

Highly recommended - schooled me on water heaters ! Like the other comments the previous install by another company was not done correctly. Chase knows what he is doing and will make it right !
Highly recommend KC Water Heater. I manage several properties and have replaced WH myself and had many plumbers replace them. KC water heater knows what they r doing, goes the extra mile on every install and tells you upfront ALL the costs. No surprises and honest.
I would totally recommend KC Water Heaters.
Chase was very professional - he explained what work he would be performing during the install (including bringing the gas connection to the unit up to code), left the work area spotless and walked me through the workings of the new water heater before leaving. Additionally he called before the appointment to confirm, arrived on time and completed the job within the time estimate provided.
Wonderful experience, people were friendly and really knew what they were doing. Answered all my questions and completed the job quickly—absolutely no complaints.
Chase is simply the best in the greater Kansas City area for water heaters. Pricing is very reasonable and his knowledge and the willingness to share it to the consumer is what puts him over the top.
Just had the pleasure of doing business with Chase. Very pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend.
I highly recommend this company! Chase was very knowledgeable and thorough and his pricing was fair.
Chase is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and hard working. He installed a 40 gallon unit in our house and his work site was very clean and professional looking. He stayed the extra time to ensure that the job was done correctly and performed some extras like move the water heater back to a location my wife preferred at no cost. This required extra time and materials, but he did not mind as he is obviously extremely conscientious and he wants to make sure the customer is happy and left with a quality product. Chase took the time to explain numerous water heater options. He has specialized in this area and it is obvious based on his vast knowledge of the subject matter. Chase will be invited back for all our plumbing needs and possible babysitting ... he is that great of a guy and serviceman. Great job Chase!!!

I’ll make this review brief. If you ever find yourself in need of all things hot water tanks whether it be installation or repair you can stop looking and hire this company KC Water Heater’s. The owner Chase was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and just a great person all around. If you don’t call and at least get an estimate from this company you will regret it. My experience was nothing less than five stars!!!
Chase is the best! Look no further if you need a new water heater installed.
My old water heater broke and I called a few places to get estimates. Chase was by far the most informative and responsive. His estimate was also very competitive. He installed the new water heater today. He was prompt and his work was excellent. He even made a few improvements over the original installation. He left the area clean after finishing the job. The final price was a bit less than his original estimate. Great work at a great price from a kind and caring professional! Thanks Chase!!
Im not even sure where to begin...Chase is the owner and the one that took care of my water heater issue. His attention to detail and ALL of the other little things he did that wasn't even part of the initial job made the experience one of the best contractor interactions I have ever had. I will refer him to friends and family without hesitation. Thanks KC Water Heaters!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND KC WATER HEATER. Chase not only installed the water heater with extreme attention to detail, he fixed an issue created by another contractor. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of the install is outstanding. It's hard to find companies that will be honest, do quality work, at a reasonable price. Call them!!!!!

We called KC Water Heaters at about 7:30 PM Friday evening. Chase was quick to call us back. We discussed the pros and cons of repairing our 9 year old water heater. We decided to go with a new water heater. Chase scheduled our install for the following day (Saturday). He arrived on time - calling prior to arrival. He verified our old water heater did need to be replaced. He checked our home water pressure and began the process. He is polite, knowledgeable of his trade, and extremely efficient taking out the old water heater and installing the new one. His prices are fair and he will leave your home clean. You will be pleased choosing Chase owner operator of KC Water Heaters. Great experience!

A excellent, locally owned business that obviously takes pride in the service they provide. Called to schedule an appointment to replace 15 year old water heater and got a callback within 30 minutes; spent a good 10+ minutes talking with Chase. Installation is very clean with new hard piping replacing flex cable on the gas line, T branch installed for the humidifier water feed, PRV installed downstairs, and an expansion tank tucked neatly away. Was right on time and had us back up and running in no time.Very knowledgeable and answered all of the questions I had.
Just had chase out to our house to replace a water heater. I called around and found that Chase's price was competitive. I was really impressed with his knowledge regarding the repair. Before doing the job he looked at our setup and gave me a recommendation on what should be done. It was obvious that he was just trying to help us get the job done right and that he wasn't just trying to make an extra buck. The person that installed our broken water heater didn't do things right but Chase fixed everything up right. Normally, when a company goes the extra mile like this they charge an arm and a leg. That's if they even care to make sure it's done right. After the job was done I took a picture of Chase's truck and told him I was impressed with the service and would be writing him an awesome review. So here it is. Without hesitation I would recommend him to anyone faced with replacing a water heater. I will use him in the future if the need ever arises. Five stars and every one of them earned.
I had the pleasure of working with Chase and Cooper and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient.
Chase took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns and provided me with a detailed explanation of what needed to be done. They were extremely transparent throughout the entire process and made sure that I was fully informed and comfortable with the work being done.
Overall, I am beyond impressed and will recommend them to anyone in need of water heater services. Their level of professionalism, expertise, and commitment to their customers is truly outstanding. Five stars all around!
I never write reviews, but the service we just received warranted a glowing review! It's never fun to have unexpected home repairs, but KC Water Heaters lessened the frustration. Chase was knowledgeable, patient and didn't cut any corners on a complicated water heater installation. You can tell he is a genuinely honest and nice guy. Trust me, you can stop shopping around for a plumber, because you won't find better. KC Water Heaters, not only provided excellent service but is very reasonably priced!!
Chase Thompson, owner of KC Water Heaters, is a master plumber with a fuel gas certification. Chase replaced our two 15-year old gas water heaters with two new Bradford White tanks. The fuel gas certification is important to us since we know that a lot of houses do not have proper venting. Sure enough our old tanks had the melted plastic evidence of prior backdrafts. We spent time with him discussing various tank options as well as different configurations for plumbing setup. We decided on a reverse return plumbing setup as recommended by the tank manufacturer (Bradford White). We had other quotes from more well-known plumbing companies but they recommended the more well-known parallel or in series setups even with Bradford White units. I'm not sure they know reverse return setups. Chase installed the manufacturer-recommended plumbing setup and increased the size of the vents to properly handle the exhaust and be compliant with code. He gets city permits on his jobs. He also replaced the PRV valve which was old and not providing adequate water pressure. He was at the house for 6-7 hours and worked hard the entire time with no breaks. He is very knowledgeable and easy to speak with, and all he does is water heaters, so you're working with an expert. I highly recommend him.
