Quick Water Heater & Filtration Company

We've used Quick Water Heater & Filtration Company twice now and have been very happy both times…read more Our first install was back in 2019 with Gregg and Jacob, and everything went smoothly. This time around, our Rheem water heater failed before reaching even 7 years, despite having a 12‑year warranty. Even though Quick is closed on weekends, Brandon texted me and set us up first thing Monday morning. Ben (sales) was extremely helpful, walked me through all the options, and made a genuine effort to get Rheem to honor the warranty. Unfortunately, Rheem couldn't provide a replacement and instead offered fair market compensation (still TBD). Not thrilled with Rheem, but Ben handled the situation professionally and kept me informed throughout. We ultimately went with a Bradford White, and Sammy installed it the same day. His work was excellent--professional, efficient, and spotless cleanup. The Bradford White + installation was very reasonable and very surprisingly comparable to my prior installation. Very impressed with Quick's responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to turn everything around in a single day. Highly recommend them.

Really dislike giving low star reviews. This is an established company. We enjoyed working with…read morethem in the past. Higher in pricing, but we used to praise their customer service. We are loyal to our vendors/contractors as great workmanship is not always easy to come by. In the past Jacob, Erik, and others on the team were always professional, prompt, down to earth-- and all experts. They installed our 3 water heaters from them and a whole house filtration system. We have recommended them to our neighbors as well. Had the most uncomfortable conversation with owner Brandon who we've never interacted with in the past. Shockingly rude. I even said, "sounds like I caught you at a bad time" - yikes. A top contender for most negative and weird vibes from a sales/client interaction. This call happened after a slightly frustrating visit with Ben who admitted he only has 1 year of experience and was trying to keep up as best as he could. He was actively trying to learn on the spot. He was honest which I commend. Ben left saying he needs an actual technician present along with the owner's help to develop a more solid option and plan to move forward. Not a problem at all. It must be frustrating being an expert in your field having to speak about the same products and concepts with home owners who are relearning different/new systems on the fly. But if customer service is not your forte, stick to delegating and take hospitality courses so your loyal customers don't feel like they have to be apologetic for having questions on a $11k quote. Sadly, a "could have been better" 2/5 star experience, wish we could stick with them. Pro tip, maybe ask to exclusively interface with the seasoned members of their crew with 5+ years of experience so you avoid any negativity and can actually get the work you need done.

After we shut off the water, I got to looking for a company that could come out ASAP and resolve the issue. I called WHO around 5 a.m. and they had an overnight messaging service person who took all my info and let me know that I would get a call after 7 a.m. Around 7 a.m. I got a call and was able to set up a same day appointment. The folks on the phone were nice enough and professional. I was thrilled that someone would be coming out soon. We were alerted via text when our technician, Francisco, was on his way and he called to let us know when he would be arriving. Around 10 a.m. he was onsite and ready to assess the issue and give us a quote. They say free estimate, but I`m sure they still charge a service fee if you don`t end up agreeing to the quote. We agreed to the quote even though we didn`t want to( I mean..who WANTS to pay for a new water heater? haha). Anyway, Francisco explained all the parts and labor involved and was very informative about what each component was for and why, which we appreciated. Estimate signed and away we go. Francisco worked quickly and efficiently. By 2 p.m. we had a new water heater and the tech was cleaning up and ready to go. The job was quicker than we thought, which was great, and even though he said to give the water about an hour to heat, we tested it before and we got nice, hot water quickly. The new unit looks so fresh and new and everything went well. We were given a 2 year labor warranty, so that is a nice assurance. All in all, a great experience. I do want to go over pricing because while every scenario is different, I like to be transparent. A lot of people will say, "This is what I was quoted for XYZ" or "I ended up paying such and such amount less than other companies". We had an old unit(about 25 years old), we live in an upstairs condo unit and our water heater is on the balcony in a closer(location of the unit is all considered when quoting). We needed a new water heater(40 gallons), obviously, some new piping(portions, not full), a drip pan, some other bits and bobs(that weren't that expensive) and you are paying for the labor and expertise of the tech). We ended up with a $3000 bill for this service. AGAIN, every situation is different, but I do like to give the Yelp community a run down of my situation and pricing so that they can make informed decisions. As mentioned above, a great experience and we are back up and running with our hot water. I will update if anything significant happens.

The work ended up being completed by a handyman for much less. Needless to say Exodus is never welcome on one of my properties again.

What immediately stood out to us was that he had ideas and solutions to address our pain points and make enhancements, we wouldn't have ever considered, and didn't just wait for us to tell him how we wanted things. He created a vision for us in that first quote visit. The other contractor we spoke to didn't provide any ideas just asked us how we wanted it. It was a very easy decision to go with Alon and Lumina Builders. Our project was estimated to take 2-3 months and ultimately took two and a half months to complete. We designed a brand new kitchen, addressing all of our concerns and adding a few recommendations from Alon to streamline some areas. They ripped everything out aside from the flooring and walls. We got brand new custom cabinets, custom lighting, and new countertops. Our fridge was moved to a new, more accessible area. Our sink was shifted down to align with the stove for continuity sake (never realized how much I hated it being in a corner previously). We had a new little cabinet built in our little breakfast nook area and we had an appliance garage built to house everything that took up counter space. Everything is so much brighter and more open and, even though we know the demensions are roughly the same, it feels so much wider. We are ecstatic with how everything came out. Alon is a genius. He was responsive to us throughout the project, checking in weekly to see how things were going, giving us peace of mind throughout this process, as first time remodelers. We were indecisive about the primary cabinet color (I was very worried we'd be stuck with something we didn't really like) but he worked with the cabinet makes to give us several samples to choose from. He was very patient with us. We LOVE how everything turned out! We'll definitely be using Lumina Builders for all of our future projects.

We noticed a warm spot on our bedroom floor and soggy ground outside the house, and knew we had a slow leak under the slab. We got two quotes, and Emery was the lesser one, and they gave us two options: Dig up the slab and fix the leak, or replace all supply lines. Since the pipes were 56 years old we went for replacement even though significantly more money. Our furnace died the same week and we asked for an estimate for that too. It took them just a day and a half to complete the hot and cold re-piping with fewer holes than we were fearing in our two-bathroom, 1,400 square foot home, and no damage to either shower/tub enclosure. Their follow-up crew repaired all the holes really nicely, inside and out, and with some new paint you can't even tell. English is a second language to some of their crew, which made it tricky to ask them questions, but they were friendly and fast workers, they didn't even break for lunch! It's been a week, water works great and they are coming back to anchor down an attic pipe better to stop it from banging loudly when water flow stops, which we're told is not uncommon. Be aware that once the water is running through your walls and ceiling it is much louder than when it was underground, but now no more leaks for 50 years.Their pleasant office staff responds to phone calls and e-mails quickly, and no rush to ask for payment, they didn't invoice us for a week afterward. We're still waiting to get the furnace estimate, it's been over a week and we were hoping to get that quicker but realize November/December is their busy time for HVAC. Once they give us their bid there's a good chance we'll use them for that too. For price, skill, courtesy and care taken with our house during this big job, we give them a 5. read more

Last fall, Emory Plumbing fixed a slow leak in a pipe located between my built-in desk and cabinetry on one side and a tiled shower wall on the other. From my first contact with front office Katelyn, to the farewell wave down the driveway, all the people I dealt with were professional, competent and respectful of my home; every one of them. I thought I would lose either the shower wall or my built-ins. It was neither. After careful deliberations in locating the leak, the decision was made to dismantle my desk--I do love my desk. This was expertly done, the moldy wallboard was removed, and the area was dried out for 4 days. All was put back so no one could tell. At all times I was apprised of what needed to be done, how long it would take and what the approximate cost would be. Their bill was reasonable and I still have a desk that I love. Since then, I've had Emory replace a garbage disposal and recently, four new bathroom faucets. And now, Emory has added Maddy who calls after a service to make sure everything is all right. She is like every other person I've encountered at Emory, professional and pleasant. It is clear Emory takes pride in their business and hires accordingly. Kudos to Kaytelyn, Alan, Carlos, Maddy and the three magicians who disassembled my desk. 858-483-6880. The only phone number you need for plumbing issues. read more

My Del Mar condo has antiquated radiant heating in the ceiling, no longer permitted by construction code. When a plumber had to cut into my ceiling to diagnose a water leak from the condo above mine, three radiant heating wires had to be severed, thus killing my heating system. No electrician or heating repair company knew what to do until I spoke with Allan at Emory Plumbing & Heating. He is a specialist in diagnosing and repairing radiant heating in walls and ceilings. He knew how to splice the high heat conductor wires, properly insulate the spliced wire, and fire it up to be sure it worked. His wall board repair specialist performed a work of art with texturing that cannot be noticed. His phone receptionist was polite and seemed invested in helping me get answers to my questions. Alan is a straight shooter and he kept his word at every step in the process. Del Mar Bill read more

After reading the reviews about Emory Plumbing, I admit I was a bit skeptical about using them. But I had a leaking kitchen sink and I needed it fixed quickly. When I called them, the woman on the other end of the phone was very kind. I was surprised to reach someone so courteous and personable! She was so helpful on the phone which surprised me because she wasn't even the one who was going to come out to fix my sink! When the plumber arrived to fix the problem, he too was very courteous and personable. He showed me the problem with the sink and fixed it with ease. I haven't had a problem with the sink since.

I used Emory once before and I should have reviewed them then but now I'm glad that I waited because they only got BETTER! I needed an electrician to install a light fixture in the ceiling. My condo was built in 1974 and has radiant heat in the ceiling (electricity was CHEAP back then). I needed to make sure that I could put a new hole in the ceiling without breaking into the wires that are imbedded in the drywall. The technician installed the new chandelier and VERY PATIENTLY stood on the ladder and adjusted it as I changed my mind over and over about how high I wanted it hung! The technician (Alan) came at 7:am to accommodate MY schedule and the whole job took half as much time as I thought it would. I HIGHLY recommend Emory and would definitely call them again! read more

Emory plumbing is a life saver! I was locked out by SDG&E because of a natural gas leak.

I highly recommend Emory Plumbing. In the middle of a kitchen remodel had a lot of work before cabinets could be installed. Got estimates from all of the big plumbing companies in SD and a few independents. Emory had the best quote by far.

Three trucks, three plumbers, and an apprentice show up on time, everyone knows what they are doing, and they knocked out all of this work in a few hours. Awesome job! Thank you Emory!! read more

I have used Emory for several jobs. They replaced my water heater two years ago and installed a new toilet a few weeks ago. I was happy with both jobs. Their technicians are professional, timely and careful. The second job was complicated by the fact that the toilet was cemented into a stone floor! The technician (Carlos) explained what was going on and was confident he could get the old one out with no damage to the floor. He had to sledge hammer the old one to get rid of it, so as to save time and money (not his initial plan). There was no damage to the floor and the cleanup was excellent. I recommend them! read more

I've had my ups and downs with various home technicians and companies. Overall, Emory has been easy and pleasant to work with. Emory has cleared drains and replaced shower fixtures for me. In September 2015, the technician was unable to make his or her 2-hour window, so we were forced to cancel the appointment. It was annoying but it happens.

He had to pick up some extra parts and returned to complete the job to restore our water in under two hours from when we called. Great turnaround time, up front about costs, and great service. We felt comfortable with Emory despite what could have been a crisis over the weekend. Look forward to working together in the future. read more

I needed repair fast and Emory came to the rescue quickly and professionally. The office scheduled the appointment with ease. The same day service promptly came at the expected time. Carlos inspected the problem and gave suggestions for the possible complications that might occur. Either way with confidence he reassured me he could complete the job and he did! Carlos got right to work and within a short time finished the work. He cleaned up with a smile all in 30 minutes or less. Job well done and overall great experience. Thank you Emory! read more

We requested that Emory Plumbing replace four old Moen faucets with new Moen faucets. The new faucets are beautiful! However, the pop ups that came with the Moen faucets, allowing the sinks to hold water were plastic. I expected metal parts from Moen. Brandin and Quinn quickly set up an appointment to remove the plastic pop ups and installed sturdy, attractive pop ups that also have a discreet hair collecting baskets. We were only charged for the parts. What great service! read more

My husband tried to fix our plumbing issues but was not successful so it was time to call the pros... I called Emory and was greeted professionally and immediately set an appointment for us. Francisco was at the house on the dot and our problem was solved at a timely manner. My husband also learned some tips from Francisco. I highly recommend Emory. They are friendly, professional and a family owed business since the 40's. Keep it up and thank you for the great service. read more

First, they had an easy reservation system for online booking, I received a personal check in to confirm the appointment, they sent me a text to notify me when my technician Roby was on the way (and even included a photo so I knew who to expect at my door, which is much appreciated)! Just all around great communication and prompt responses from their office. Next, my technician Roby was so kind, knowledgeable and efficient. I appreciated that he was not only able to identify the problem quickly, but he explained what might have contributed to my garbage disposal needing replacement to avoid recurring issues in the future. While he was here, he also quickly fixed my toilet and even went above and beyond and helped me install my toilet seat when he saw that I had a new one sitting in the box in the corner of my bathroom! Really excellent customer service. And finally I also appreciate that he didn't try to upsell me or convince me that everything in my house needed replacing. He actually encouraged me to save money by showing me where to get my own disposal that he came back to install. Pricing was very fair for the work that was done. I will definitely be coming back to Happy Plumbing in the future, and I will be telling everyone I know to use them. Thanks Roby and team!

Jay came through the same day to fix that main water line and explained how Trustworthy could line every bit of my sewer line with inversion pipe lining vs pull through which is limited to access points. The pull through method would not be able to line the entire cast iron pipe under my bathrooms, which was the whole point as they were in poor condition and had root intrusion. I parted ways with the other company and signed onto Trustworthy the next day. Jay and Scott have gone above and beyond, installing the best materials and doing an expert job of prepping my old cast iron sewer cleanouts (two) that would have been impossible to line past those points without removing them and replacing those sections with PVC pipe and new cleanouts instead. When they jackhammered through the concrete of my front porch to get to the old cleanout at the front of the house, they proactively replaced the main water line in addition to removing the old cleanout and replacing it with PVC. The pipe liners lined everything in one day, getting all of both bathrooms and the tie ins (sinks, toilets and tubs) under the foundation. They also did the concrete work to patch the hole when it was done, as well as patched a significant crack near my front door. I highly recommend Trustworthy plumbing. Jay and Scott are the best!

Nothing especially serious found he suggested having a moisture remediation company investigate. They also thankfully found no critical issues but suggested replacing aged disposal and some of the under sink plumbing and water lines. Scott again quickly returned in an evening and got it done. If we continue to experience any issues the remediation company will complete some specialized treatment. Scott is a super friendly, knowledgeable and caring professional that obviously loves his work. Highly recommended!
