Proudly Offering High Quality Service Since 1981

Thank you, he was very helpful.

We needed a new tankless water heater (our over 15 year old Takagi T-K2 had finally conked out, after many years of service without any issues). We first called Albert Nahman because they have a great reputation, and they came out same day and looked at our existing water heater and said we needed a new one. They gave a rough estimate, which seemed high. So, I contacted several other plumbing companies, and had a few come out and look at what we needed, and although they had lower bids, they also had significant flaws. The flaws in the other bits: (1) Didn't have the brand we wanted, which was Rinnai. Some had a very specific brand which all they offered. (2) Didn't have any licensed electrician, which we also needed to install an outside outlet (old system had a wire directly into it). (3) Didn't think we needed to obtain a permit from Berkeley, which when I looked into it seemed pretty crucial as otherwise if there is an issue then home insurance may not pay for any damage caused by a badly installed water heater. (4) Didn't have any reasonable way to solve our issue with getting hot water in under a minute to a bathroom far away from the water heater. Some offered no solution and just said we should live with it, others offered to drill holes in our marble walls or to install clunky water pumps in our far away bathroom. In the end, Albert Nahman was ready to install almost immediately and with the unit and features that we wanted, and in addition they installed additional safety features, e.g., on our gas meter they installed a safety cutoff that will trigger in case there is a major earthquake (none of the others offered this). Also, they offered a solution that provide instant hot water to our far away bathroom that is both elegant and non-invasive, and it makes a night and day difference (the water is hot instantly in this bathroom now, we are saving so much water and time). They worked from early morning till late afternoon, and in the end we had a perfectly installed system that is working like a charm. It also turned out that issues that came up they solved immediately, e.g., at first they had the wrong unit without the recirculating pump, but they called down and it was delivered within an hour, there were some issues with the electricity but the licensed electricians they brought in (Guerroros Electric) were just fabulous, did very clean and professional work, and when I looked them up they were rated 5 stars with 100s of reviews. During the day, the founder and owner, Albert Nahman himself, came up to visit the site and make sure everything was going well (it was). Can't say enough about how great of a job they did! Photos show impact on far away bathroom (can't even see it from far away, had to take close up photo of underside of sink to see anything), new installed unit up close and farther away, the new safety valve on the gas meter, and a couple of pictures of the old unit before it was removed.

Jared was really great. He fixed the sink and figured out what needed to be done with the water shut off and outdoor faucets. He explained things clearly and answered all my questions. I'm asking for him to be the one who comes back next week to finish the other jobs I need. Jared came back and changed out some outdoor faucets. He installed a shutoff valve outside the house because the house didn't have one and now I don't have to call EBMUD to shut off the water at times. Jared is so personable and very knowledgeable about plumbing

They replaced a clean out valve on a pipe.

Tony and crew replaced our heating and hot water system. They were efficient professional and informative and we look forward to enjoying their work to keep our home comfortable. Marcia Anderson and Rodney Blacklock
