Paul responded to our request almost instantly, was at our home at 9am, and we had a functioning water heater with a new pilot assembly by 9:20am. Paul also noticed the exhaust vent wasn't correctly installed by the previous company and fixed it free of charge, which has brought our gas bill down by over 20%! Their service was priced competitively and communication was excellent throughout the process. Most importantly, they truly care. They took what could have been a nerve-wracking process and made it feel effortless.

I called Excalibur and they said this wasn't true. They could install a similar model of tankless water heater to the one I had. Their quote was almost $2000 less than the other plumber. I since had an HVAC company come out for something else and mentioned I had to change the heater recently. I told him what I paid and he said that was honestly a good price. Excalibur seemed honest and helpful and they were able to come out first thing the next morning and get my heater replaced. They did a good job and the new unit looks better installed than the original. They also gave me advice on how to maintain it and what maintenance I could do myself to descale it etc so it doesn't break again. Overall happy either way the service even though overall it was expensive it was still less than other quotes I got.

In my case, I have quite a story of having to go five days without hot water because the unit I received was defective. The day after the install we found the tank had shut down. After a reset and restart done over the phone with the installer assisting, the unit failed again, a short time later. The next day which was a Saturday, another technician came out to swap out a heat sensor which appeared to be the problem. While changing out the part, the tech noticed that insulation near the assembly had burned, and ash was present. He vacuumed it out and restarted the unit. It made a horrible noise, and he spent a half an hour on the phone with the manufacturer tech support trying to diagnose the problem. The noise eventually went away and he finished the repair. Unfortunately the machine shut down again after we got one warm shower. I called on Sunday, and explained that I was no longer comfortable with the unit being in our house and I wanted a replacement, of a different maker. Without hesitation they agreed, and Monday morning, after acquiring a, more expensive model of a different make from a supplier, we got a replacement installed, at no additional cost. These problems are rare, and not the fault of the installer. I could not have asked for a more timely and considerate treatment as a valued customer of this business.

I had a great experience working with Yousef and Majid. From start to finish, they were responsive, professional, and courteous. Responsiveness: They replied promptly to my inquiry and were able to come out the very next day--exactly what you need when dealing with URGENT plumbing issues. Professionalism: They quickly identified and resolved a sudden clog, explained the root cause clearly, and even provided helpful preventative service recommendations to avoid future problems. I really appreciated the extra care and attention. Customer Service: Both were super friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with. They made a stressful situation feel much more manageable.
