Every one of J. Erickson Plumbing & Heating's 27 Google ratings is five stars, and the reviews keep returning to the same person — Jon — doing the work himself, from a late-night emergency fix to a full plumbing overhaul during a remodel; one reviewer, writing in January 2024, calls it her "go to for plumbing and heating." The company's site lists boiler installation, an oil-to-gas conversion service, tankless water heater work, water filtration, and kitchen and bathroom remodels among its services, plus free estimates, 24/7 emergency service and insurance, and says it has been operating for three years. In a March 2024 review, a homeowner whose 12-year-old hot water tank had just failed described Jon showing up the same day despite being booked out a week, rigging a temporary tank until nearly 10pm, then returning within days to install a permanent Rinnai tankless unit. Another review from that same month recounts him first replacing the anode rod to try to fix a rotten-egg smell in the hot water, on the understanding that a full replacement would follow if that didn't hold; he came back and swapped the water heater at the price he'd quoted. A December 2023 review describes him redoing the plumbing in an older home during a remodel, replacing a water heater, and fixing a toilet a previous contractor had installed wrong. The Google reviews on file run from December 2023 to May 2024. Within that stretch, several describe using him repeatedly rather than for a single job — a January 2024 review cites many years of use, and a December 2023 review cites five years of work across rental properties and a residence — and a January 2024 review describes him coordinating directly with a city inspector for approval on a job. Reviewers across that period repeatedly mention him explaining what he's doing and why before he does it. This is a strong call for water heater trouble, drain issues and everyday plumbing work; for boiler installation or an oil-to-gas conversion, both listed among its services, it's worth asking about that specific experience before booking.
