I was referred to Michael through a warranty at Lowes. He was not only professional, he was honest and quick. He answered the phone right away and helped diagnose the problem. I really appreciate how kind he was at making sure we had hot water. He was patient with all the questions I asked. I highly recommend him and his company.

Extremely good service. Our water heater failed Thursday night, Michael was able to find the replacement heater under warranty, and get it installed Friday afternoon. We feel that he went above and beyond. We highly recommend Archibald Plumbing.

I was referred to Michael as a water heater specialist from my goto plumbers. I was having trouble starting our water heater and then it was going out after a moderate period of time. Michael came out quickly and got it started, replacing the thermal couple kept it running. Heres the biggest part- my wife who was home with our children was sure to tell me she liked him, that he struck her as a "good" person. I already knew that since he was referred by my other trustworthy plumber but it makes it better when your wife feels comfortable with the repair people in her home. Did I mention

Needed a flammable vapor sensor replaced to get my water heater running again. The technician arrived in about an hour and the job was done, my heater running in another 20 minutes. Fantastic service!

Archibald Plumbing is our go-to for all plumbing problems. They are very prompt and reasonably priced. Their work at my place has always been very good. They have done everything from installing a toilet to fixing a garbage disposal to installing a water heater. I've even called Michael for a recommendation on an appliance guy, and he was really helpful. Five stars from me!

I normally don't write reviews but when a company is this honest and saves me about $2000.00 to fix my broken water heater, l have nothing but rave reviews for them. Others wanted to come and replace the entire unit but Archibald plumbing found the the problem and save my water heater for a fraction of the cost of replacement. Thank you Archibald Plumbing for your service, honesty and integrity. I know who to go to next time. Your guys are awesome.

Awesome experience from start to finish. I had a bad 75 gallons water heater and wanted to replace it. Called a few plumbers for a quote with pictures of the old heater and all of them wanted top come by to look at it. Michael responded within minutes and gave a quote with a reasonable range.

I finalized the job and had him come the next day to install the water heater, with expansion tank and hot-water circulation pump for instant hot water throughout the house. The costs were pretty reasonable and the service was fantastic! I would highly recommend Archibald plumbing for all your plumbing needs

Reckless driving is not a good representation of your company!
A car pulled out in front of you and you road raged past 4 other cars, one of them being me! You nearly hit me and scared my kids! Not a good representation of your company when driving a company vehicle!! On 7/15 at 3:44 pm heading east on 78 freeway... not okay!

Mike saved our bacon, last minute, on a Saturday no less! We were having a new refrigerator installed from Best Buy and the technician said we needed to call a plumber. Why? Well, he claimed the water bob wasn't working and the problem must be from inside the wall because, even though the water to the house was shut off, he said water kept spraying out.

So, I text Mike from Archibald plumbing with an SOS! He was there within 15 minutes!! Of course, the technician had already taken off. Was there an actual problem? No! The technician just hadn't turned the valve off all the way. That

Michael is a certified AO Smith technician and repaired our AO Smith water heater that was under warranty. He responded to text inquiry and showed up Monday morning, quickly making the needed repairs with new parts he had in stock. Whole repair was covered under warranty. He is a pro and showed up exactly when he promised. I can highly recommend him and will be using him again.

Archibald Plumbing takes care of our Company and houses, we have an IBC hot water heater-boiler system that's fairly complicated he got it up and running as fast as he could get the parts from the distributor, when others in town would not even come look at it, as this system is not made in the US.

I highly recommend Archibald Plumbing.

This is a 5 star plus review. I have a Polaris hot water heater-boiler that's fairly complicated. It quit working late on a Friday, so I waited until Monday to have my plumber come over to take a look at it. Very honest and referred me to another plumber that he highly recommended for trouble shooting and repair. 2nd plumber recommended Mike from Archibald Plumbing. At this point I'd already become familiar with the heater thru their tech support and actually ordered an igniter. Called Mike and he had the part on his truck. I had other issues with my expansion tank and a leak that Mike

I have never written a negative review on Yelp until now. I feel compelled to share the truth and prevent others from being taken advantage of by Michael Archibald of Archibald Plumber, a supposedly 'excellent' plumber by prior reviews, who has shown a lack of plumbing skills, lack of customer service to a customer who paid him more than he originally quoted, and then lied with a failed promise to come back to complete the unfinished job, now more than over a month ago.

The original problem involved a loud noise coming from our tankless water heaters when turned on in the morning

Broken leaking water heater just before Thanksgiving!
Mike Archibald was able to purchase and install a new one, clearly his installation is better than the last plumber's efforts. His insulation was actually a fantastic job thorough and complete in every aspect. He is clean efficient and professional. He is very personable as well. His instructions for maintaining a healthy functioning WH system will be followed.
