Barneys Water Heater

I’ve had water pressure issues for a little over a year now. Pressure was not ever great in this house but it really began to cause problems about a year ago.
About 2 – 3 weeks ago, I noticed a system wide reduction in water pressure. For every faucet, it would come on strong then drop to a slow trickle then slowly build back up. This was also the case for my refrigerator cold water dispenser and washing machine… every faucet had this.
Then recently it got much worse. I would turn on the water and it would blow down very quickly and zero water would flow… nothing. Then it would take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes to build back up. I couldn’t flush the toilet and wash my hands at the same time and I was almost unable to take a shower.
I called Barney’s and was given an ETA of noon to 2pm and they showed up at like 11:59 after calling… then I showed them the problem and they found the pressure reduction valve. They worked on that for a few minutes then said it was frozen solid and probably corroded to the point where it needed to be replaced.
They had to dig it out… and started grabbing shovels (they were eager to get to work). I asked for an estimate of price and time and they said probably about $ 250 or so and about 2 hours of work. I had another plumbing company coming to bid on the job… but that price was fine and they were going to do the work right then so I approved the work and canceled the other plumbing service.
Less than 1.5 hours later, they were done and told me to turn on my bathtub faucets. The pressure was OUTSTANDING! I can now have both tubs flowing + several faucets running and still have very good water pressure from all of them. Problem solved!

I had such a great experience with this company. I made a call Saturday morning expecting to be put on a schedule for the following week. Barney let me know that they would come out the same day to replace my water heater which was a pleasant surprise since the tank was leaking all over. I received a call from the plumber 30 minutes prior to the scheduled window I was given. Charlie arrived and installed the new water heater in just a few hours which was amazing to me. I could not be more satisfied with the service provided and would highly recommend this company to any of my friends and neighbors that need a water heater heater replaced. They will not disappoint!

Came here after an old water heater busted and got it fixed no problem! Great service and it’s working good as new.

Barney did a great job! We needed a garbage disposal installed that required moving pipes and installing the electrical switch. Even though electrical work is not his area of expertise he handled it without any issues. He even went out to the store to get the necessary supplies for installing the garbage disposal that were not included with our purchase. He also was able to fix our now functioning toilet. In addition to his plumbing skills Barney is always very friendly and professional.

Barney came out on short notice, I called him Friday morning and he was here within a couple hours. He was very clear on what he was going to do. He had all supplies he needed to install my new water heater. He worked all day in a small space and he did a great job.

Barney had the lowest bid on a much larger job, but I opted to do much of it myself to keep the cost down. In the end I had him replace some old rusty gas lines and install a gas hot water heater that I supplied. He was punctual, on-​time and did a great job. I’d hire him again without question.

My water heater is in the house and was leaking. I figured we’d have to get a whole new water heater. I called a couple places who not only couldn’t make it out for days, but didn’t offer any other solutions. I called Barney, and he was extremely helpful on the phone. During the time when he was unable to get there, he was able to give me instructions to minimize water damage. He explained all of the repairs that he was performing as he worked on the water heater. He was extremely kind, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He could have easily sold me a whole new water heater, but didn’t.

We were having trouble with our hot water heater. We figured we”d have to replace the heater, but Barney suggested a fix that wouldn’t require full replacement.
A few weeks later the water heater did fail, and he at least credited us the work he had already done. He got out quick and installed our new hot water heater the same day. We will definitely be using Barney again the next time we need a plumber.

I couldn’t get the pilot light on my water heater to work. They replaced a part and got it to work again.

I initially had my home warranty company send a plumber out but wasn’t happy with the cost, attitude, and lack of professionalism. Instead of having the water heater repaired by them I took a buy out.
I then called Barney to ask questions about my 40 gallon tank that was leaking. Barney answered all my questions and communicated with me throughout the process of my making the decision to go with him. He was able to deliver and install the new water heater within a day of my decision to use his company. They removed the old device, installed new piping, installed the new war heater, and cleaned up afterwards.
They took the time to explain how I should flush it out annually in language I could understand. I was extremely pleased with the level of service and professionalism.

I called at 7. Heard back at 8:15. Arrived at house at the exact time they said they would. Diagnosed the problem with my tankless water heater in less than 5 minutes. Ran out to get part. Installed new part on my water heater and was good to go in under 20 minutes. Works perfectly.

I called after I noticed that my water was not heating up, which should not had been a problem since I was told I had a new water heater installed before moving in. Barney’s came 2 hours after I called and completed the job in 20 minutes. I appreciated how the plumber explained everything he was doing and how to prevent the problem from happening again. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I went to Barney to purchase and install my current water heater. Lowe’s was supposed to install our dishwasher but said that we had to re-​route our water lines to do so. The people of Barney were nice enough to came over to my house and give me a second opinion. After looking at my drains they informed me that what Lowe’s was recommending simply wasn’t necessary and offered to install the dishwasher with no re-​routing required. Not only did they do this, but also fixed a broken pvc pipe on our basement sink drain. Barney’s was very professional and did everything in such an expertly fashion, I will continue to use Barney anytime I have any plumbing needs.

When we called and said our water heater had stopped working, I wasn’t sure if they would come out to my area but they were very nice and actually came the same day that we called! After inspecting our problem, they recommended a new water heater. We were nervous because the previous quotes for a new water heater were so expensive. They gave us an estimate for two options, one of which allowed us to have a tax credit. My parents were thrilled with both options because they were cheaper than other quotes we’d received. They were able to install the new water heater the next day. Overall, very responsive; they’ve been recommended to family friends.

After trying to get sears, home depot and one other business on Unilocal to replace my water heater, I called Barney. I got voicemail and received a call back not more than 20 min later. I explained the problems I had been through trying to get a plumber to replace my water heater. Barney installed my new water heater the next morning and charged exactly what he quoted on the phone. Very professional quick and clean. It was such a relief to find a plumber who wasn’t afraid to work.

I called them yesterday (Sunday) when I noticed my hot water heater leaking… Barney called me back about 15 minutes later and explained to me that he could come out to turn off gas/​water or he could walk me through the process, which he did and all was turned off and the tank started draining. He said I would get a call about 7:30 the next morning to set up a time to install the new water heater, which did happen and I was told his plumber would be here between 11 and 1. Danny was here a little after 10:30 and replaced the hot water heater and then explained to me how to keep it going for the long run. I have used this plumbing service before and they have always delivered. I like the fact that they are local and I highly recommend them.

OMG… this is the last in a series of services over the last few weeks… Barney installed a new water heater for me last year so he came out and drained it. I also had him change all the faucets in the three bathrooms, install two rain shower heads, install a new garbage disposal system, and today he replaced two filters and the membrane in my reverse osmosis system.

The water heater in my parents rental property started leaking over the weekend. Barney was the only plumber I called that was willing to come out the very same day. (Thank god) Since the old heater was already 10 years old we opted to just have a new tankless water heater installed and he was very nice and no pressure for any fancy upgrades. I would happily use Barney’s plumbing services again
