    The new Navien tankless water heater

    My wife and I highly recommend Frank's Water Heaters for planning, designing, and installing a hot water heater system in a home or building. Trevor is the owner of Frank's Water Heaters (which I understand is named after Trevor's dog). Trevor, himself, recommended and designed the installation for our new Navien 240A2 tankless water heater system with a recirculating device to facilitate second floor quicker hot water access and efficiency. Moreover, he was onsite project manager, chief working technician, and marshal of the successful building inspection process. He and his assistant were clearly competent, incredibly neat, and meticulous. (As I was walking by the job, I even caught Trevor with a leveling tool in hand to make sure the mounting bracket was perfectly level). Upon completion of the job, Trevor instructed my wife and I with usage of the new system, checked out the showers and faucets, and then checked for leaks. He called us back the next day to, again, check in. We have lived with the system for a month--- works to perfection. Also, our PG&E bill dropped substantially from the previous month maybe due to the expected increased efficiency of the tankless system coupled with removal of a flawed system installed by another company just four years earlier. (Time will tell). The building inspector assigned to check out our newly installed system not only passed us, but stated "beautiful installation". Frank's Water Heaters, along with the competence and expertise, was so pleasant and seamless to deal with I would have liked to have been able to give the company a YELP score of six stars (on a scale of 1 to 5).

    Extremely knowledgeable, and a perfectionist to boot. He cares about his craftsmanship, which means a lot to me.

    Trevor gave me such a great price on a tankless that going with a traditional hot water tank made no sense.

I needed a kitchen faucet's hot water dual angle valve change and a two-sink to one-sink wall pipe change. I had previously changed three angle valves but this particular valve did not have much tubing. James quoted an initial $195/hour plus parts for a minor job in a Yelp project estimate. 12 days after the Yelp estimate, during an afternoon visit, James asked what I wanted to do. I replied that I needed a hot water angle valve change, another plumber will change the wall pipe, and I will install the garbage disposal, p trap, and faucet and dishwasher lines. I expected an estimate but James surprisingly and loudly challenged my knowledge of plumbing, stated that he is cheaper than the wall pipe plumbing company, and stated that he can do the entire job in three hours at $195/hour plus parts. James stressed the project is difficult and that he can easily do it while I cannot. My wife in the living room found it strange that a plumber is hard selling after the other plumbers simply provided an estimate, came into the kitchen, and stared down at this condescending and impolite plumber. Odd, I just wanted an angle valve change estimate, not a complete project quote. I passed on this rude plumber.

After explaining the emergency, one plumber said they would come out in a week and the second business said they could come out in a month! They offered no help and only said they had other customers. I found Plumbing Pros on Yelp. If I could I would give Plumbing Pros 10 stars! After explaining the emergency, James P, owner came out to the house within 2 hours. He provided options and was absolutely concerned with getting the broken pipe fixed. His crew came out and replaced/fixed everything in one day! Great quality work and good pricing! James P, owner, was super responsive and answered all our calls and text messages. James even answered our messages left in the evening and on a Sunday! Not only is he an absolute professional he is also a great guy! Great job and thank you Plumbing Pros!

My experience with Bellows has been an interesting one. TLDR; highly recommended and check out the Quilt system! - - - I had originally scheduled an estimator to come out an give a price on replacing a whole house gas furnace with a heat pump system but was also considering a multi-head mini-split system. The technician who came out was knowledgable and introduced me to the Quilt system. He was not pushy at all, simply said that it was a new system that showed a lot of promise. After reading a bit more about it, I was sold! The promise of efficiency was intriguing and the usability and aesthetics sealed the deal. It took about a month to really get things going, but once they started, the installation team was great! Very professional, efficient and tidy. On the third day of installation, I had inquired about the condenser unit location. It was placed in a prominent and highly visible location at the front of the house and I thought there was a good alternate location - moving it back about 5' and rotating it 90 degrees. I definitely missed the window of time when this should have been asked, and to move it would require some additional work. The initial response was not empathetic or customer satisfaction- minded, the quote for the change order was prohibitively high and I ended the phone call feeling very frustrated. Within minutes, one of the owners, was on the phone. Chelsea put on a MASTERCLASS in conflict resolution. She made a personal connection, approached the situation with humility and grace, quickly establishing empathy in both directions. Chelsea found a delicate balance between defending her business and wanting to help find a solution by sharing more detailed information about the systems and installation process, and asking questions about why I wanted to change the location. Like most customer-service facing professionals, she articulated that she wanted me to be happy with the product and service and that the company would make it right. But unlike the majority of those people, it did not come across as condescending - she was genuine, willing to explore options, and ultimately took the time to gather more information and see what options were actually available. The installation manager, Del, came out the next morning, worked with the installers to find an efficient solution to move the unit, and the system was completed within the original schedule. The two-man installation team ended up working a little later, and even on a Friday afternoon before a long weekend, showed professionalism and patience in testing the system, cleaning up, and making sure all of my questions were answered before calling the job complete. Ultimately, I am very satisfied with my Bellow's experience and would recommend. I am very impressed with Chelsea and her handling of the situation. The company, her partners and anyone working for her should be grateful for the leadership she provides. Thank you Chelsea, Del, Joed and Julian!

    The Bellows service staff are competent and courteous. The office staff are also polite and…read morecourteous. The 1-Star Review reflects my assessment of an unbending schedule of fees charged by Bellows for its services. 1) The Fixed Schedule of Fees for Services is extremely expensive. How expensive?? Well, a few years ago, Bellows came out to our home to install a replacement part in the wall plate of a Toto wall-hung toilet. We provided the plumber with the correct replacement part. The actual repair required perhaps 10--15 minutes. The fee: $547 (including a service call fee of $149 plus $398 for the repair). In 2026, it surely costs more. The current service call fee is $189. At the time, Bellows HVAC was installing a ductless mini-split unit in our home, so I off-handedly requested this plumbing repair without determining the costs upfront. And indeed, I am responsible for my ignorance about plumbing charges; I should have known this minor toilet repair could cost as much as $547. That's on me. After much haggling, the fee was reduced to $400 - presumably because of the coexisting, and far more expensive HVAC installation. Still, wouldn't you have thought that a plumbing company might feel discomforted to ask for $547 for a trivial toilet repair? I learned a hard lesson about fees for plumbing services. 2) We once had an annual maintenance contract with Bellows for a reasonable fee of $300. Then Bellows informed us that only one of our three ductless A/C units was covered by the contract. Mind you, the units were actually installed by Bellows (cost: $15,500), with an average annual use of about 7 days. Did not matter. The new contract cost was $418. We should have read the small print on the contract. We paid the annual fee as there appeared to be no other option. However, I informed Bellows that I regarded the new fees as both excessive and unreasonable - and a genuine discourtesy to a long-time customer. Despite the complaint, Bellows somehow concluded that, given our previous use of their maintenance services, we had signed on for an annual subscription. And a few weeks ago, I discovered that Bellows had previously charged my credit card - unbeknownst to me - for a (now) more costly fee of $516 for a recurring maintenance contract. In effect, Bellows charged my credit card without any notification in advance or afterward. (This practice is expressly forbidden in California.) After two telephone calls to Bellows and a complaint to the BBB, (over a span of 14 days), the fee was finally removed. Bellows seemingly believes that with a refund of the unjustifiable fees, the company is absolved of any further accountability. In effect, 'We refunded the $516 charge, what more do you want?' Well, as always, Caveat Emptor! Get price quotes in advance, and be vigilant about recurring subscriptions. Do not expect a company like Bellows to accept responsibility for their contribution to any dispute, or to apologize for any inconvenience and distress experienced by the customer.

I put in a call to Gene Burch, and dispatch said they could get someone out by tomorrow afternoon. Given the heat wave I figured that was good as it was going to get. I was wrong. A callback just a few minutes later let me know that Alfredo was in the neighborhood and would call me as he neared. 20 minutes later, I greeted Alfredo at the door and pointed him to the failing unit, along with the error message that the Nest thermostat had indicated. Alfredo opens up the outdoor unit, pokes around for a minute or so, and quickly diagnoses and repairs the problem - a capacitor that had shorted out because it was touching another part. A quick trip to the truck, a new bracket, and the AC roared back to life! After a quick check of the forced air unit in the attic, he was on his way and I had signed up for their monthly membership as well. KUDOS to Gene Burch for greatly exceeding my expectations for when the technician would arrive, and A BIG shout out to Alfredo, who got the job done quickly and with a smile on his face, reassuring me all the way. It always pays to shop local!
