Thank you to everyone who has reached out. It has been heartwarming and humbling to hear from the community that has developed around HalBro. We’ll take some time for the dust to settle and see if we can’t return in some form or another. It’s gonna be a long rebuild anyway haha
Water heater died last night. 5 yrs old, still under warranty.
Called Manufacturer, they said they'd send parts, but that'd be 4-6 days. Couldn't leave my family without hot water that long.
So I called local repair company, they'd been there 5 minutes when they quoted me $1,100 to fix it. Wouldn't break it down to parts and labor until I leaned on them hard.
- $300 parts
- $800 labor
For 30-40 minutes of work. For a water heater that cost me $700 with sales tax.
I called the manufacturer back and told them the situation and that I planned on buying a new unit at The Home Depot and install it myself (I'd installed my current one).
Rheem said no problem, take your old one with you and we'll give you full credit towards your new one.
With the military discount from my buddy that was helping me, I was out of pocket a whole $65 when it was all said and done, and even traded up a model with a longer warranty.
Thank you Rheem, thank you Home Depot.
Fuck off predatory appliance repair companies.

"[Quinn Hughes] saw them treat Boudreau bad. He watched Tocchet walk. He has seen the treatment of Ian Clark. He has seen the treatment of other people in the organization. He got tired of all that stuff"
