We work up one cold winter morning to discover that our heat had stopped working overnight. I called Valverde and they were out within an hour and had the problem resolved within the next half hour. Very responsive and great work!

Top notch, somehow squeezed me in same-day. I had pipes burst and he fixed them in about an hour. Professional and excellent work. I highly recommend them. Diego was awesome. The picture is the "before"; it's a running electric heater standing in an inch of water. Not what you want to come home to. But thanks to Valverde Energy, it's all fixed three hours later.

We HIGHLY recommend Valverde Energy & Plumbing. They are professional and knowledgeable. No nonsense - they get the work done timely and get it done right, and stand behind their work. We had two solar systems installed by Valverde, Thermal and Photovoltaic. The systems are working and we could not be more pleased. Thank you Valverde!
