Fischer Plumbing is excellent. We live in a condo and they worked with our building supervisor to coordinate water shut off and were fast and professional. Best of all, they had spare parts when they found some additional problems. David K & Julian did great work. Will use them again
Prompt, polite and knowledgeable. Gladly recommend Fischer Plumbing. Both Kyle and David were great.
He approached the task with skill . He checked with us before finishing and completed another task. He did the job with lots of humor!!
Cedar did a very good job in my Condo,fixing a leaking pipe, thank you
Ali and Salvador came at 1 p.m. - earliest of the allotted appointment of 1-4 p.m., to install a new water heater. They were both friendly, and answered questions. They used a drop cloth to ensure they don’t get the work area dirty; Ali explained why an expansion tank would be needed, or not. Ali also replaced my leaky washing machine valves, and used plenty of rags to make sure no water mess. They left the areas clean, as when they found them.
The workmen came within a few hours of my call even though it was not an emergency. They called shortly before arrival. They were efficient, neat, and friendly and fixed the broken valve quickly. I’ve used Fischer Plumbing a few times and recommend them highly.
Cedar was efficient and knowledgeable, one of the best plumbers I have dealt with. His assistant Yared was helpful and did a good job.
Travis diagnosed and replaced a defective shower valve stem within an hour. He was extremely friendly and courteous. I highly recommend Fischer Plumbing!

On a recent project at our Condos, I worked with Steve, Carlos and Julien on a repair/repiping of three units.

It was a pleasure to meet them and have them work at our Condominiums

Noah showed up, politely introduced himself, and went straight to work, quickly knocking out the clog. Would definitely call again if I ever have any issues!
Ali and Jesus were great. They were able to finally fix my hot water problem. I have been dealing with it for a few months, with nobody knowing what the problem was, and they figured it out.
Ali and Jesus arrived on time and put on shoe covers. They did a great job removing the old water heater. Installing the new one was done with no issues. Ali and Jesus left the job neat and orderly. We found the cost to be competitive. Give Fischer an opportunity to quote your job.
Thank you Fischer for sending Chris to assist in clearing my clogged sink. He was efficient, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with .
Okay Ali and Jesus are just built different as plumbers. First, Ali was so knowledgeable and completely willing explain every step of the process when fixing the issue with my line. He gave me real options, leveled with me on cost, and importantly, he respected my family and my home. Jesus was helpful and assisted Ali with everything on the job. Both Ali and Jesus made me feel comfortable and in control, and that quality is rare anywhere, let alone with a plumber. Thanks for being so knowledge, kind, and courteous with your work today. Fischer is obviously hiring the right people.

Nick and his colleague did a great job repairing some leaking toilets and faucets. Job well done, work areas neat and dry, everything working great a few weeks later. There were some complexities in the faucet leaks regarding finding parts but they found substitutes that worked well. The attention to detail and meticulous work was noticed.
Had a great experience with them. We had a pipe freeze during the recent cold spell. When it warmed up, we had a huge leak. Called Fischer's emergency number at night and received a call back right away. David came to our rescue very quickly. He found the leak in no time, and worked with the Fire Dept. to shut off the pipe. Would highly recommend them!
David came out to remove an instant hot water unit and replace a leaking faucet. He was on time friendly and did a great job.
My experience with Fischer Plumbing has been nothing short of fantastic. The team that has been upgrading/replacing the plumbing in our elegant 1929 building on Capitol Hill is full of thoughtful, intentional workmen. They are polite, diligent, and accommodate whenever they can. Team lead Josh has been extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with. When the team encounters problems they collaborate with our building’s project managers to find workable solutions. They get the job done right by not cutting corners instead focusing on the integrity and durability of their work. Highly recommended. We are fortunate to have them
I had a blockage in my bathroom that was causing drain water to backflow up through my shower/toilet. Fischer was able to get someone over within a few hours, Chris was friendly, knowledgeable, and quickly got the clog broken up and cleared. Thanks!
Had a small water heater replaced and Fischer was cheaper and quicker than any other quote I got by far. Thanks!
Great experience. I received a call alerting me to their impending, on-time arrival. Chris and Oliver showed up and set to work. Friendly. Helpful. Efficient. Did the work as I requested with no sales pitch. Price was lower than a previous contractor doing less work. Highly recommend.

We specialize in water heater repairs and ongoing maintenance to ensure your unit operates at high efficiency and provides uninterrupted hot water for your Seattle home or business throughout the year.
Water Heater Repair
Even brand-new units can encounter issues such as improper heating or performance. Some common problems include foul odor, rust-colored water, insufficient hot water, and strange noises from your unit.
A professional water heater repair service will be able to identify the root cause of the issue and get your taps running correctly in no time. A routine repair may involve checking for gas or other leaks, inspecting the heating element, checking the thermostat, cleaning the tank, or replacing whole components.
Water Heaters Types
There are different kinds of heating units available in the market. Each has its specifications, advantages, and disadvantages. However, each has one primary purpose: to heat water.
The different types include storage tank water heaters, tankless water heaters, solar water heaters, and heat pump water heaters.
A tankless water heater will provide you with hot water on demand, and this type will save you the most energy as it doesn’t store hot water. Storage tanks can be convenient since they always keep a large amount of water heated and available.
Heat pump water heaters are also very energy efficient since they use the heat from the ground and the air to heat water, and solar water heaters are naturally the most eco-friendly option.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters require less energy but are also more expensive to purchase and install. Consumer reports found that gas tankless water heaters are 22% more energy efficient than their more common gas storage tank models. This equates to a savings of around $70-$80 per year, using 2008 national energy costs. However, they cost much more than storage-type water heaters, so it can take over 20 years to recover the initial cost.
In addition, they are designed to heat water more quickly, which results in water savings. You generally do not have to wait for the cold water to run through the pipes, as with a storage water heater. Further, water is heated as it passes through the tankless models, so you will never run out of hot water from a single source.
Water Heater Warning Signs
Pay close attention to your water heater’s performance to determine when your unit needs repair or replacement services. Watch out for the following warning signs:
- Age. A water heater can last 8-12 years. After this, you need to hire a water heater replacement service to install a unit.
- Rusty or Discolored Water. A rusting tank can cause this kind of water to run in your tap.
- Leaks. Any leaks in your unit can indicate it needs a replacement
- Insufficient Hot Water. A reduced volume of hot water over time can indicate a reduction in the efficiency of your unit.
- Noise. Unusual noises from your water heater, such as cracking, popping, or rumbling sounds, can indicate sediment buildup and a potential problem.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The labor cost of installing a water heater depends on whether the unit is tankless or has a storage tank and how long it takes.
Water leaks are the most common problem with water heaters. In the long run, the water can corrode the tank and cause leaks.
Strange noises, insufficient hot water, foul odors, and old age may be sure signs that your water heater needs to be replaced immediately.
