Water Heater Install, Oceanside, Ca
“Consider it Done.”
We’ve used Lowe’s products and installers numerous times, one specific installation
was our home water heater some 5 years ago. When we decided to start fresh with a
new water heater in a rental condo we recently purchased, we again enlisted Lowe’s
to do the job.
This install was complicated by it being a second story condo in a 33 year old condo
development that had not designed in the water line to the outside, necessary for the
water pan underneath, which is required for a city permit. The team that came on site
to inspect the install at first said the install could not go forward due to this
limitation.
They contacted Jeff at the All Star Water Heater home office who guided them through
the process of determining that the existing pressure release valve and external pipe
could be modified to meet city requirements. We later learned that Jeff was able to
gain agreement with the Vista City engineer that tapping into this line would allow
the install to be permitted (thus dodging a bullet for us).
On the day of the install I was pleased to recognize Dave Smith, as the installer
on our home unit. Dave is a no nonsense guy who tends to skip the chat about family
and weather and puts his full attention into the project at hand. Fine with me.
Dave had no preparation for the complication this installation presented. I described
the issue best I could, wondering what our result would be. Dave listened intently to
my rough explanation and simply replied with what is now my favorite 3-word reply from
a service representative: “Consider it Done”.
Per his style, Dave went straight to work on the necessary re-plumbing for the installation
like he’d done this one or two times already (this week). Time for installation seemed no
longer than a standard install. Dave cleaned up the job site and was out the door in record
time despite the complication.
I can highly recommend Lowe’s system of sale and installation once again,
thanks to All Star Water Heaters, Jeff at their home office, and, of course, Dave Smith.
I’m pretty sure Dave gave their company the best customer slogan ever – even if off-handily –
“Consider it done”.
Well done All Star Water Heaters. Well done!
