Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air
Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air is one of San Diego County's largest home-services companies, operating since 1978 with three published offices (El Cajon headquarters, San Diego, San Marcos) and dedicated pages for water heater repair, installation, maintenance, tankless, and 24/7 emergency work, with financing and a maintenance plan. One material gap from our research: no CSLB license number appears anywhere on the pages we fetched, and a state business-name search returned only two cancelled historical records under this name — so the current operating license needs to be requested directly and verified before hiring.

Review signal
The site claims 3,000+ five-star Google reviews at a 4.8 average and a BBB A+ — company-site claims we could not verify on a fetchable third-party page, so we publish no rating.
Observed strengths
- Operating since 1978 with three published San Diego County offices
- Complete water heater scope on dedicated pages: repair, installation, flush/maintenance, tankless, 24/7 emergency
- Financing advertised for installations and major repairs, plus a maintenance-plan membership with published discount
Ask before hiring
- Ask for the current CSLB license number and verify it at cslb.ca.gov — none is displayed on the site, and our name search found only cancelled historical records; the operating license likely sits under a different legal entity, but verify before signing
- Ask for specific written warranty terms — the site says "extensive warranties" without specifics
- Ask the diagnostic or service-call fee up front — no fees or prices are published
