I have a pretty new water heater from AOS. Been having issues with it turning off. Called AOS and they referred me to Gruber Plumbing. I called and he said he could look at it but it would $375. I had to choice since AOS referred me to him. He came out, looked at it, and recommended a couple of fixes. I had to shallow the $375 fee for just consulting but no work. When I asked how much he would charge for a 3 foot section of replacement duct work he quoted $800. None of the $375 would apply to the $800. I'll probably call AOS and just let them know what Gruber is charging just to come and see a water heater.

After six years the burner assembly on my 50 gallon Whirlpool water heater failed. Normally, the 12 year warranty only covers labor for the first three years, but because there was a recall on this part I didn't have to pay anything. Whirlpool customer service referred me to Phil Gruber who returned my call within five minutes. We scheduled an appointment for the following day. His only requirements were enough space to access the water heater, a parking space for his van, and observation of the Covid restrictions (masks, etc.). He arrived on time with the part needed. He performed the installation quickly and successfully. His demeanor was polite, friendly, and professional. I can't comment on his prices, because that is between him and Whirlpool. I have no complaints whatsoever. It is wonderful to have hot water again. Many thanks to Phil and Whirlpool customer service.

My Whirlpool water heater's burner was broken. It's still under warranty so the company sent me the new burner and asked me to contact Gruber Plumbing for the installation.
Some comment says Phil charges money for just showing up. I was concerned and asked him about this before he came. He told me he only charges if the water heater is not easily accessible, which is not the case for me. I called him in the morning, he showed up before noon, installed the new burner. No charge. The entire process went pretty smoothly.

Run! Fast!! My wife called Gruber Plumbing to inquire about a warranty repair for our water heater. He requested a picture of the label to confirm the info and then said he would come out to take a look. Again, our five year old water was leaking and we called for warranty service. He never mentioned on the phone that he charges a $375 service call fee to look at the water heater. When he arrived this morning, he told my wife as they stood in the garage that he charges $375 just to show up.
After telling her that there was no warranty and that he wanted $2600 to change the water heater, she said no, that was to much. He demanded the $375. I spoke with him on the phone and he was very direct. I could not understand how he could charge such a large fee without advising us first. I told him that this was very dishonest and he went on to insult me. We had no choice but to pay him. After reading other reviews, it seems this isn't the first time. Oh, we had the water heater replaced today for $1500. call Bay Area Water Heaters! They were amazing! Great price and great service.
Not only will I never again do business with Gruber Plumbing but I recommend that you don't either. I've been in residential construction for 30 years and this behavior is not ok.

The water heater did not work and wad on recall and I got the chance to work with Phill. He came in twice and ordered parts.
He was professional, knowledgeable and showed up on time even during the coronavirus challenges.
Thank you Phill for saving the day!
Highly recommend

Phil is great and was a pleasure to work with. After my Whirlpool gas water heater broke, first burning with a loud roar, and eventually failing to re-ignite after the insulation on the ignition wire failed; I called their support line and learned the burner/ignition issue was covered under an open recall. They shipped me a replacement burner unit, and referred me to Gruber Plumbing.
Having called Phil on a Saturday and left a voicemail, he returned my weekend call an hour or two later and confirmed his availability to install the burner once it arrived. When to my surprise the burner arrived a day early, on Monday morning, Phil was able to fit me into his schedule and replaced the bad burner and the gas controller in the early afternoon, restoring hot water to our home. Thanks for the rapid replies, and quick turnaround in fixing our water heater!
