Best Hot Water Heater in Portland OR

Although he was responsive, the quote was very high and he backed out and cancelled on us (with foul language and snarky response) because we needed him to fill out an online form for our home warranty so that we could be reimbursed. Very unprofessional. Wasted our time and our tenants are still without hot water. sigh, starting over.

I gave these folks a bunch of chances. The employees were all nice enough, but it's been a journey. A rain drain job went from ~$100 to $900, and then I almost had to pay $2k more just for a hole in the ground until a manager stepped in and refunded the repair job that was paid for but they were unable to complete. $1k gone for a rough patch in my yard.I went ahead with a tankless water heater install and it's been a fiasco, too. People would show up and ask me what they were supposed to do and leave when I said I had no idea. The extra holes in the walls are something I can patch, but really annoying that they made them and just didn't say anything about it. I just found out that it has failed inspection (the inspector was surprised that they skipped all of the rough-in inspections) and that I've had a gas leak for the better part of two months.Instead of interviewing a bunch of plumbers, I thought I'd just go with a bigger company to ensure a good job was done. Turns out I paid extra to deal with a bunch of hassles anyway. I don't know how I could have handled this if I didn't work from home as I have lost track of how many times they've been out. Now I'm still waiting for them to tell me when they'll be out again to fix stuff.I'm not sure who the ideal customer for this company is. I thought it would have been me.

Terry Massey plumbing just fixed a problem with my kitchen faucet. They did so quickly, efficiently, professionally, and with a friendly demeanor. I appreciate their expertise and help.

Very professional, great price, did a great job!

Called Precision Plumbing about a leaking facet in our kitchen. Gary was able to come by same day. Got us fixed up within a couple hours at a reasonable price. Great experience with this company!

Thank you for treating me so fair when you came out last Tuesday.

You were fast, efficient, and friendly. Thanks for your work.

Excellent work. Very quick and efficient. Responsive staff and crew.

They cleaned up well, and left a very easy patching job for me at my option (see the photo).

Repiping with PEX was well worth it. Keep up the good work.

In hot weather, the air conditioner suddenly stopped, so I was embarrassed and had no solution. Central - Air inc. ran quickly and completely normalized it. The distrust and anxiety I had been very concerned about were gone. In particular, the accurate diagnosis and treatment of the wonderful Branden completed the repair in a short time. He promised to do a full overhaul in the fall, and trust made the deal easier. Bandon, you're one of those cool guys you look like.

I had a storm drain issue, where raw sewage was filling my storm drain box. I spoke with Chris and he had me send pictures of the problem and after looking over everything and speaking with me several times on the phone he referred me to a company that specializes in this sort of issue. Chris went above and beyond anything I expected, knowing he was not going to get this job. Thanks again Chris

I was referred to Nichols Plumbing to replace a water valve for my refrigerator to be installed. Bob was able to come out the next day and checked it. He also discovered the valve was working and didn't need to be replaced after all, so he only charged me for coming out. He is honest and friendly. I highly recommend hiring Nichols Plumbing!

We had a great experience with Park Place Plumbing. Mike came out within a couple hours of our call and provided excellent service at an affordable price. I will use Park Place again in the future for our plumbing needs.

I've used Derek and Garden Home Plumbing probably 8 times across 3 homes and have been very happy every time. Derek does great work and his pricing is very competitive.

Beau Vincelli replaced critical parts of a Toto toilet for us. He was prompt, knowledgeable, efficient, thorough and competent with all work done. He was also considerate enough to fit our project into a waitlist window (important for toilet repairs). Beau was personable and courteous through the whole process as well. I highly recommend his services when the need for a professional plumber arises. We will not hesitate to call him again in the future. Support you local services.

Great experience. Easy to get an appointment with and had flexible times too. They also charged me a fair price for the repair I got done. I know that when I need to use someone again in the future i’ll be giving them a call. Thanks for helping get my hot water back up guys!

Having issues with my furnace and scheduled an appointment with Detemple who we have used for years. They called before my appointment and diagnosed and fixed over the phone. Saved me from having to pay for a service call. Wonderful company and could not more highly recommend.

Rick at Fast Water Heater (FWH) installed a new water heater in my home on 3/25/2014. I found the water heater at Home Depot; Home Depot referred me to Fast Water Heater for the install. This was not a same day install, if that makes any differrence. I have no ties to FWH, the plumber Rick, or anyone else involved in this review.

To summarize, I would definitely use FWH again and would definitely recommend them, and Rick, to my friends. Assuming FWH does other types of plumbing work, FWH/Rick would be my plumber of choice.

Someone at FWH called me the same day I was at Home Depot to purchase a water heater. The person that assisted me on the phone was great and very knowledgable. FWH was going to pickup, install, and take away my old heater. The water heater I wanted Home Depot was no longer carrying (it was on close-out); and there were questions regarding physically fitting the water heater into the space where the old one was and whether the power line could handle the water heater. With the help of FWH, I double checked both fit and available power and then FWH checked on their computer to see what Home Depot had available. With the expertise of FWH, we picked a water heater and scheduled an install for the following day within a two hour window. Not having to wait all day or all morning/afternoon was a pleasant surprise.

The install day we got a call from the plumber asking if he could come early. This was good. The plumber was Rick; he was licensed and knew what he was doing. The way the old water heater was installed was not to code so he took the time to explain to me exactly what -- any why -- he needed to do certain things to meet code. I know there are a lot of people that question codes, but being an engineer I know that most times there are very good reasons for the codes. It did raise the cost but the raise was not significant and reasonable; this rings especially true after comparing the before and after.

Rick did an excellent job installing the water heater and redoing the plumbing to meet code; the work Rick did is exempliary. Before Rick, the plumbing was a rat's nest; after Rick it's clean and neat and easier to deal with. Obviously I picked the water heater so I'm hoping it lasts; FWH gave excellent advice along with telling me they would not install an open-box water heater. Apparently they have had problems with open-boxes so they will only do new sealed-box heaters; this is good advice, imho.

I don't know about labor pricing as I didn't have time to run around and get estimates. From previous plumbing work I've had done, I'd have to say the price was fair (as in not overpriced nor underpriced) for the work -- no gouging, no games -- and that the work was excellent. I appreciated that Rick reused the few pieces worth reusing from the previous plumbing (certain brass fitting) rather than simply tossing them.

All in all, dealing with FWH and Rick was a pleasant experience. It's nice to find a locally owned (Pacific Northwest) company that does quality work at a reasonable price and, from talking with Rick, treats their employees well.

Call the company for the first time a man answer the phone did not tell me the company name just said hello super standoffish I asked if he can come out to check out my home he said no he can’t I asked him if he can refer to anybody he said no and hung up on me super weird I would not recommend them
