We had a very good experience with Riverway and would recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing service. I was able to setup an appointment quickly, the service technicians were very professional and kind, and the quality of the work feels top-notch. Thank you so much, Riverway!Posted on Google Marissa BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Riverway always does such great work. The capacitor went out on our air conditioner and they had someone out the same day and the repair took maybe 15 minutes. They’re always kind and courteous. We’ve had them out three times for various issues and we keep calling them because they take such good care of us and stand by their work.Posted on Google Michael GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My air conditioner stopped working during the hot summer. I called Riverway at 10 a.m. and scheduled an appointment for 1 p.m. that day, excellent! (all other places had a 2 day waiting list). Techs called and said they would be here sooner to fix a/c. They show up at 11:30 and had a/c repaired in 5 minutes! They were very courteous, knowledgeable, and fast. Bottom line: I called Riverway at 10 a.m. I'm sitting in the cool a/c by Noon. You cant get better service than that!

We had a leaky kitchen faucet and one we decided we wanted to replace with a more modern sensor faucet we had bought, so called Riverway to come out and do the job. For a reasonable price ($165), they sent someone who came and did the job in less than an hour--a job I'm not even sure I could have done on my own over a day or two, given the corrosion and need to saw some pieces off the old faucet attachments below! The fella they sent was well equipped to do the job, courteous, and fast, so we couldn't have been happier.Posted on Google LauraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

F. A. Q
Replacing a major appliance often brings up technical questions. Here are the most common things our Bloomington customers ask when they need a new water heater.
If your water heater is over 10 to 12 years old, has a leaking tank, or requires a repair that costs more than half the price of a new unit, replacement is the smarter investment. Newer models are vastly more efficient than those manufactured just a decade ago.
A traditional tank heater keeps a large volume of water hot at all times. A tankless system heats water on demand as it flows through the unit. Tankless units are smaller, last longer, and never run out of hot water, but they typically have a higher upfront installation cost.
For a standard tank-to-tank replacement, our Bloomington team can usually complete the work in 2 to 4 hours. Transitioning from a tank to a tankless system may take a full day as it requires new gas lines and venting configurations.
The ideal water heater depends on your household size, daily hot water usage, and the number of bathrooms and appliances that use hot water. Our technicians help recommend the appropriate system based on your home's needs.
Yes. As part of the installation process, we can disconnect, remove, and properly dispose of your old water heater, making the replacement process as convenient as possible.
