Peter was super helpful and quickly replaced it the next day. I was very happy to have a new water heater and no more leak. - 5/5 — Anonymous Love to give Better Water Heaters, Inc. 10 stars. We had a hot water issue and two previous plumbing companies could not resolve it. Collin from Better Water Heaters fixed it immediately. He saw the settings were incorrect on our recirculation pump on our tankless system. Now we have hot water throughout the house. Collin went above beyond, not only flushing out the system, but showed me how do it. He explained each set including cleaning multiple filters. Two other things to note. The company was very responsive and the pricing was very quite fair. So happy with our service.
