John and his coworker came over to fix a nonfunctioning HVAC, correct the drain pipe that took water outside and replace the existing electric water heater with a tankless water heater. They were efficient, answered all my questions and got the job done within 24 hours of my call. very highly recommended.

B. Franklin installed a new water heater for us in 2020, and stood by the warranty when we unexpectedly had problems a few years later. Machines aren’t built to last like they used to be, but the guys at Ben Franklin are reliable, on-time, respectful, efficient, and they leave the area nicely cleaned up.
