Scott Ferguson did an excellent job and was very friendly while still being professional. He deserves a raise or at least a bonus.

My husband called in the morning, and to my surprise, the tech was able to come out and install the new tank the very same day. The installation itself was quick and…

Water Heater went out. Called roto rooter to come out to see if it can be repaired. Matthew assisted with all questions and we ended up needing the water heater replaced. Same day call and installation and the hot water is back to the house!
