The tank water heater that originally came with our condo had to be replaced, but it wasn't going to be simple. Our townhouse was built with an air heating system using hydronic heat, and the water heater provided the water to that system. Wade helped us select a tankless water heater from Navien to replace our existing Polaris tank water heater. Despite the more complicated setup, the results are great. The Navien tankless combi- boiler water heater is perfect for our needs. It is a more dependable solution, and more cost-effective in the long run too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thanks again to Wade for helping us achieve a tankless water heater install, the first home with a tankless system in our community.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Owner came out aceessed our needs, updated everything to code and installed the same day. The price was a very good value. Better pricing than other quotes. He also took away our twenty-year-old water heater too. read more

Let there be STEAM!!!! If I could give this man 6 stars I would. He was clear, straight to the point, didn't make me jump hurdles just to quote me, he even gave me his pricing over the phone (based on my water heater's error code), and came next day to install a new water heater since mine wasn't worth the price of fixing! Having someone honest who is willing to tell you all your options (like fixing the broken parts versus installing a new water heater), and THEN is willing to give you the exact pricing for those options is hard to find now-a-days. I truly recommend this man; he does a one man operation, works hard, and gets the job done like he said he would; I can't tell you how many times handymen/contractors have said to me "I'll let you know if something comes up and I can't make it" and then only show up if they please; instead he was punctual and today, I was able to take the hotest shower I've had in my new home thus far. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He even worked with my work schedule so I could come home to hot water after I told him I work 10-11 hours a day 5 days a week and was going to be without hot water until my next day off[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Thank you SO much Wade you are a blessing!!!!!! Also my water heater wasn't even up to code (I had no idea) and he was kind enough to get it all safe and up to code when he installed the new one! read more

We spoke with a few companies before choosing Golden State Water Heaters, and we're so glad we did. I had done quite a bit of research and thought I knew exactly which make and model I wanted installed, but Wade's knowledge and expertise helped us choose an even better option for our home--and it ended up saving us money. He was professional, communicative, and prompt throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Golden State Water Heaters. read more

If I could give more stars, I would! I recently had to deal with a water pressure issue where our household couldn't run both showers at the same time. Not knowing a thing about plumbing, I went down the rabbit hole of getting quotes from multiple companies. I ran into a common theme where most took my negligence and made it into a massive, overpriced project. It was clear they were more interested in padding their invoice than solving my problem. Enter GS Water Heaters to save the day! From the first call, Wade was professional, prompt, and most importantly: honest. He showed up on-time, inspected everything carefully, and explained exactly what I needed. Most importantly, what I didn't need. No pressure. No BS. Just simple solutions backed by data and years of experience. He debunked myths spun by other companies and saved me from wasting literally thousands on unnecessary upgrades. While I eventually did need to replace my whole water heater (added a whole house water softener), the appropriate sizes/models they proposed was simple and effective. Plus, this was significantly more affordable than the competition with full transparency from the start. In addition, inspection and installation all happened on the same day! Scheduled for inspection in the morning, installation completed before dinner, pressure drop issue resolved! Quick, clean, fair, and professional. It's so refreshing to work with someone who clearly values integrity over upselling. Highly recommend. I won't go anywhere else for plumbing work again. It's at the point where other neighbors who had water pressure drop issues are now going to Wade based on my recommendations. Thank you so much for such amazing work! read more

Wade gave me a flat service for the work that needed to be done. Unlike the other businesses I contacted. The other companies had to be on site, even knowing what the EXACT issue was. Mind you, I was very specific with error code and malfunction. He arrived on time. Knocked out the job in under 30 mins. Cleaned up after himself. I won't call anyone else for tankless repair or maintenance. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a great experience with this company from start to finish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wade was very communicative, on time, and clearly knew what he was doing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He walked me through what he was checking and was straightforward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wade did a great job with the repair. A small issue popped up afterward, and he came back promptly to take care of it. He was just as professional the second time, and made sure everything was fully resolved before he left. I offered to pay him for coming out a second time and he declined. It's rare to find a company that stands behind their work like this. I'd absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable, knowledgeable technician. read more

WADE saved the day for us! Our water heater broke down and we were out of hot water for 6 whole days! It was the end of December going into the new year, no one was working during the holidays or already BOOKED. Our regular plumber was backed up for 10 days and so I reached out on Yelp projects for help. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wade responded immediately and walked me through his process of replacing our water heater.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He was transparent, honest and showed up when he said he would. 100% recommend Wade for water heater repair and whatever plumbing issues he can fix. He's on my speed dial now! Thank you Wade! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I called Golden State Water Heaters early in the morning about a pretty bad leak, and the owner/technician, Wade Maggio, arrived promptly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He quickly diagnosed the issue and discovered that our previous water heater was not only the wrong type for our home but also installed incorrectly and not up to code. Wade was professional, thorough, and transparent throughout the process. He clearly explained what needed to be done and completed the entire job quickly and efficiently. His honesty, expertise, and quality of work truly stood out. I highly recommend Golden State Water Heaters and Wade Maggio to anyone--homeowners or businesses--who need reliable, top-quality service for any water heater problem, big or small! read more

I requested a quote to replace an old water heater via Yelp and Wade responded quickly. He asked for a photo of the existing heater, and quickly provided a reasonable quote. Wade wasn't the cheapest (but wasn't off by far), but he was the only company out of 6 or 7 I talked to who correctly cited the California plumbing code for when a thermal expansion tank is required. Wade was honest and professional. He worked cleanly and left a clean install. Highly recommended. read more

Wade was excellent and prompt with calling and coming out to replace my old water heater. Gladly would recommend to others. No gimmicks and straight forward. Answered all my questions as well! read more

Wade is a straight shooter and did the job on time and in budget. I looked at several companies first and they all had sales guys blowing up the prices with their "Gold" and other metal based "packages," which is just dumb and clearly overpriced. Had my water heater replaced with a tankless and chose to go probably overkill on the size, but that's because I got a kickback from the gas company. Check with your gas company and see if they offer rebates and make sure you get clarity on exactly how to take advantage of the benefit. Go with Wade if you want it done right and for the best/right/appropriate price. read more
