Neil Keaton

Outstanding service. A very quick response which had same day replacement of our water heater. I woke up to take a shower, discovered our water heater had called the quits... water everywhere. Well, long story short. Before sundown I was taking a hot shower with a brand new water heater at an extremely fair price. Tanner Meeks did an outstanding job. Professionalism is obviously a virtue he holds dear. Thank you Tanner, may you never have a bad day fishing!

I am beyond happy with Ideal Plumbing and their staff. I have been using ideal for 30 years and they continue to be the best at everything they do. Today I had a tankless hot water system installed and the techs Luciano and Pete worked tirelessly getting everything perfect. Tanner was first on the scene with incredible knowledge and answered all of my questions which boosted my confidence in making the decision to change to tankless. The install is a thing of beauty and the area was cleaner then they found it. I would give them 10 star if I could. An excellent team from start to finish.

Excellent service! Jonathan and Danny were very knowledgeable about what was happening with our heater. They were very thorough in the estimate and on time when they came to install the part. Not only cleaned up after themselves, but sent us pictures of the old and new parts so we could see how scary it was. I highly highly recommend these men and ideal plumbing!

I have had only positive experiences using Ideal Plumbing, including the most recent occasion when our water filtration faucet needed replacing. Sounds like an easy task, but in actuality it was a bit challenging because the area under the kitchen sink was crowded with filtration “tubes” and large “drum”. Access was difficult. Fortunately, Ideal’s service technician, Joel, was creative and obviously knowledgeable. He found a way to get the job done efficiently. Additionally, he made sure to protect the sink area, leaving it cleaner than he found it and didn’t mind “ help” from our inquisitive cat. Joel, was professional yet friendly… just as all of the technicians from Ideal have been when visiting our home. I will not hesitate to call Ideal in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Ideal include in a water-heater installation?

Its installation uses welded water piping rather than flexible water-line connectors and includes blocking and strapping. Electric water heaters do not require a stand.

What does Ideal do when a gas meter is locked?

Ideal can troubleshoot the gas system and make repairs to current code and safety standards when local enforcement requires. A permit must be obtained by Ideal or the homeowner.

Does an Ideal tankless water heater deliver hot water instantly?

It heats water instantly, but hot water still takes time to travel through the home's plumbing. A bypass pump may help with delivery.
