The Water Heater Dude/The Air Dude replaced our water heater 2 years ago and our AC Unit 1 year ago with great work and very fair prices! We loved Ray and Demetri so much we had them install the HVAC and Plumbing in our 1500sq’ finished basement. It was a big job and they completed the job ahead of schedule and under budget! They were clean, professional and always competitive with thier price. Ray was transparent with his costs and gave advice for what was needed and not needed to save money thruout the construction.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Water Heater Dude/ The Air Dude for any/all HVAC/Plumbing Jobs!
We also HIGHLY RECOMMEND TWD/TAD’s yearly Maintence Plan for AC Units and Furnaces.
Thank you and God Bless , The Weisers!!

I had a great experience with the installation of my Rheem PROG50-38N RH60. The installers, Demetri and Hayden, were professional, efficient, and very knowledgeable.

They did a clean and careful installation, and everything was completed smoothly. What I appreciated most was that they took the time to educate me on proper maintenance and showed me how to safely relight the unit if needed. They made sure I understood how everything works before they left.

Excellent service, great communication, and high-quality workmanship. I highly recommend Demetri and Hayden!

Prompt response from Ray on estimate and additional installation process due to the location of water heater. His crew Hayden and Dimitri were on time, courteous and professional throughout the water heater installation. They even saved a family heirloom that fell into the sink/p-trap. While doing so, discovered a potential plumbing hazard and was able to replace with proper parts.

The Water Heater Dude recently completed a new HVAC system install in my home. Demetri and Hayden were the consummate pros, quickly diagnosing the issue, discussing different options to address the problem in a way that was easy to understand, and installing the new system quickly and affordably. I was especially grateful for how prompt they were, confirming their estimated arrival time by text before each visit & always sticking to the schedule. I highly recommend The Water Heater Dude and look forward to them checking my system annually. It’s never fun to be faced with a big, costly home repairs, but WHD made a tough situation much easier to bear.

We have used Ray Water Heater Dude for several seasons. Very reliable and trustworthy service. We had our furnaces serviced for fall and had preventative drain cleaning and dryer vent cleaning performed. Demetri, our technician did a great job as usual. Very friendly and personable with great communication. Highly recommend The Water Heater Dude!

Demetri does my semi annual HVAC checks and not only does a great job but he’s personable and always a pleasure to deal with. He even cleaned out my dryer vent while he was here! Great company and I’ve been very happy with their service for years now. Will continue to be a customer.

Demetri was great from the start. He was very thorough when he came out to quote us, gave us the best option for location (which some other companies didn’t do), and it was a very reasonable quote. Some of the other companies we had quote the job clearly were trying to take advantage and do work that was unnecessary just to increase the ticket amount, but The Water Heater Dude was very straight forward. They were so easy to schedule with and even donate the old water heater to those that can’t afford one. On the day of install, they were very quick and made the process so easy. I would absolutely call them for any plumbing needs and we can’t wait to use our new tankless water heater!

Ray is awesome. Honest, acts with urgency, provides quality materials and labor. He even talked us through different options for water heaters, tank sizes, tankless, and gave us realistic recommendations for our home and family size. I would recommend him to any of my neighbors and family.
