Fast, professional, reasonable pricing. These folks were one of three on a list sent to me for water heater warranty repair. Talked to all three, these folks seemed best.

Have a new {3-month-old} AO Smith gas water heater that decided it didn't want to light anymore. AO Smith referred me to PhilCo. Phil was here, on time, the next morning. Changed the complete burner assembly and controller in all of about 20 minutes. Thank you.

Don’t bother with this company! They will break your unit and not say anything until you find the issue. Then have the audacity to quote you 175 to fix it.
