Reviews frequently mention fast scheduling and next-day or same-day installation. Many note technicians who explain options clearly, arrive on time, and keep work areas clean. Customers also cite follow-up calls to confirm proper operation. Overall feedback reflects consistent communication and professional workmanship.

Really fast response time. Installation happened early the next day including an upgraded water heater recommended by Quentin, our technician. Quentin was great! Very knowledgeable, honest, and hard working. He is a valuable asset to your team and I hope he is compensated accordingly. Seriously, give the man a raise. You can fully trust your business in his hands. I will recommend FWS to anyone I know in need of a new water heater/plumbing. Thank you!

Jeannie Alcantor on Fast Water Heater Company

David Jackson was our technician and installer, and he was absolutely outstanding. He was professional, personable, and took the time to explain the entire process from start to finish. He thoroughly went over the water heater’s functions and made sure we understood everything before he left.
I truly appreciated David’s knowledge, honesty, and transparency throughout the entire service. He also took the time to explain other plumbing services his company offers, which was very helpful.
If I ever need plumbing services again, I will definitely be calling Fast Water Heater and requesting David Jackson. I highly recommend him!

William and his team were amazing. They showed up right at the start of the appointment and consulted me through tank options. The original tank I had picked out didn’t match the old plumbing infrastructure of the house but thankfully William had other tanks on the truck that worked for my setup. He completed the work same day and got me up and running quickly. He even called to check and make sure everything was working properly after he’d left. 5 stars ??

Diana Johnson on Fast Water Heater Company

Great service. I went to Home Depot Sunday and worker gave me a card from display to call to this service. They called Sunday afternoon. Person was very nice and informative. Got a text Sunday that they would be a text 30 minutes before arrival between 9am and noon. Got a text 8:30 that Trevor was on his way. I would hire him again and recommend him to family and friends. He was very kind, professional and hard working. Replaced my water heater and set it to code and answered all my questions . Was a bit expensive. Code issues increased price quite a bit.
