Our heater broke the day before Thanksgiving. We called a whole bunch of places and no one could come to fix the heater until Monday. We were freezing and needed it fixed as soon as possible. I called Cole Hardware's referral line after hours. I got a machine, but they had an emergency line you could call. The emergency line connected me with Cabrillo Plumbing and Heating. They scheduled an appointment for the Friday after Thanksgiving at 3:00pm. On Friday they called at 8:00am, saying that they had a cancellation and asking if they could come over earlier. They were there within the half hour. When Cabrillo arrived, he immediately diagnosed the problem, had the part in his van (even though my heater is from the 70s), and fixed the heater very quickly. We were so thankful.\r

Then, right after Christmas our water heater started leaking. We decided to replace our ancient water heater. They sent someone over to give us estimates for several different types of water heaters (tankless, hybrid, gas). They were very honest about the limitations of my 1924 home, they recommended a gas heater in our specific case, even though other types would have generated more work for them. When we decided to purchase a heater, they were able to install in within a couple of days. Overall, they were very professional. I would definitely call them again with any plumbing or heating needs.
