Had a small revisit on some work and again received the best service I have had from a plumbing and heating service.  I absolutely will bring my business to these professionals again without hesitation.  David as before was fast and professional.  Thanks again Cornett!!!

We used Cornett Plumbing for the replacement for our Garbage Disposal.  Not only was Wayne the ABSOLUTE BEST, he was responsive for our budgetary needs.  
He was ON TIME,
gave OUTSTANDING SERVICE and
I would RECOMMEND for EVERYONE for their Plumbing needs.  

DON'T HESITATE TO CALL THEM!!!

Wayne came out today to fix my furnace.  He was earlier than the scheduled appointment time!  Work was done quickly and efficiently.  Didn't have to pay an arm and a leg.  Would definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Called them a couple of weeks ago for an appointment at the house that I'm remodeling and Brad showed up at my house in Gardena as advertised, on time as advertised and work done as advertised.  Friendly and courteous as heck!   Not until after he completed my work that I realized he's one of 2 singers on their television commercial.  I highly recommend this company and ask for Brad!  Maybe he'll sing their jingle, pretty catchy tune, too.

i called them in a pinch for some plumbing work.  they came earlier than scheduled and were courteous and fast.  i'm giving 4 stars for instead of 5 because i'm not sure if the price i paid was the fairest price i could have gotten for the work we had done.  we were in a pinch so i didn't really have time to get other estimates but the customer service we got was great.  they left a clean job site and i would use them again.

Updated review because this week Cornett repiped my entire house. Jonathan and Joshua were polite, knowledgeable, worked clean, and left my wife and I completely satisfied! Anybody reading this should feel confident if calling Cornett for plumbing needs; asking for Jonathan or Joshua, based upon this recommendation!!

After a few attempts of being taken advantage of by larger HVAC companies during a heat wave, Wayne provided an honest, fair, and no-nonsense assessment. Installation of a new AC unit + the addition of dual zoning took 2 days. Wayne and Josh were extremely respectful, clean, and efficient during the installation and provided information, explanation, and tips along the way.

Please consider calling Cornett for your HVAC needs rather than calling a larger company that focuses on upselling, warranties, and fear tactics.

After I poked a hole in my bathtub trap while trying to clear a blockage, I knew it was time to replace it. My neighbor referred me to Coronet Plumbing and said she would use no one else. I called and scheduled for someone to come out ( I had temporarily patched the trap hole ) and they sent Mark. When he arrived he didn't hesitate to crawl under the house and check the job. The estimate was acceptable and I scheduled him out yesterday. He worked without stopping until the work was done, checked for leaks, and cleaned up. Mark is a hard worker and a good representative for Coronet Plumbing.

I have used Cornett in the past. Always professional, neat and reasonably priced. Today I had a new toilet installed by Bryan; great job. I know what quality work is and I saw it today. If you need work you can't go wrong with Cornett.

Over time, Cornett has become our go-to for any plumbing needs that we can't easily fix ourselves.  We have used them for leaks coming down from the ceiling of the garage in our old townhouse, leaking hose bibs and valves for the shower, and hydrojetting the sewer in our new house. I know I should shop around for price, but their people are good at what they do, and due to their size, they can usually send someone out that day if I call first thing in the morning! I have even had them call me when they are on their way so that I can meet them from work.

Water heater gave out. I called Cornett. They were very helpful on the phone and when Wayne arrived, he was helpful explaining my options. Within 3 hours I had a fix! And the price was very reasonable.

We have a 1945 house that was remodeled in 1954 bought it in 1995 Dale and his family at Cornett Plumbing has been handling all and I mean all of our plumbing and heating needs since 1996. When we first started using them they had one truck and there is a reason that they now have many trucks and a fleet of very talented and knowledgeable service men. If there was six stars they would get six. Service is excellent. Pricing is very reasonable. Make sure that they are your first and only call for Plumbing and Heating in the South Bay

They know what they are doing in plumbing heating and AC. They are easy to work with and give the best explanation of what they are doing and what we need to do t o take care of plumbing and heating. They are prompt, do an excellent job and the prices are reasonable. I can't imagine using anyone else. Frank K

Amazing, same day service. The garbage disposal on my sink was not working properly so I called this company my mother recommended to me. They dispatched Edwin within the hour and I am so grateful because it was a dime that was caught in my machine! Edwin was supposed to charge me for the service/consultation but he felt bad because all he did was remove the object and reset the disposal. I hope this review doesn't get him in trouble for not charging me- but I am VERY impressed with the speed, professionalism, and knowledge shown by the company and Edwin. My disposal is working fine now thanks to Cornett! Definitely will use in the future and recommend to family and friends!

Just had Wayne here to look at our A/C unit.  Easy quick fix that he was more than happy to take care of for us.  Explained everything thoroughly and price seemed absolutely reasonable.  Would recommend for sure!

Spoke to the receptionist who was friendly and knowledgable about how to resolve my problem. Customer service is great!  I will call the owner tomorrow to set up my appt if he feels it's possible to remove the debris from a PVC pipe.  

Thanks for giving me hope!

SUCCESS!!!!!! Dave arrived this morning ON TIME and after blowing air to remove the debris, shooting water from the hose to remove the debris he finally had a break through when a rock came flying out of the PVC spinkler pipe!  Had to spend about 2 hours on this challenge but HE FIXED OUR PROBLEM!!!!!  

Best job ever!!!!!!

Both my sister and I used their services quite a few times.  We trusted them although their charges are getting more expensive which we understand things are changed after Pandemic.  The recent call was not satisfactory at all, workman went, could not complete the job as it was a community public issue, workman did call me to provide reason for not completing the job, but left without putting back what he removed.  I called their main line, emergency hot line with no response, called the workman and he hang up on me at the moment he answered and I said Hi.  
Believe me, the charges were ridiculous high for an incomplete service. The 3 stars was rated overall satisfaction of all the services in years.

If you're looking for a company that won't rip you off and do a great job, this is it! I had my AC and heater looked at by a company through my homeowner warranty and they said if it's not covered it'll cost over 10k to fix, and also I need to have all the vents replaced and of course the homeowner warranty said they will not cover it. So I called Cornett to come look at it. Dale came and looked and gave us the run down and all the possible solutions from temporary fixes to replacement and the cost breakdown. Also, surprise surprise, the vents don't need to be touched. On a separate occasion I asked them to come look at my water heater and again Dale came by. yes it needed to be changed and they could have easily charged me to change it. HOWEVER, Dale told me to save my money and have home warranty come look because he thinks they'll change it for free. OMG he saved me 3k! It's rare you find a business in this type of industry that you want to refer to your family and friends but Cornett I want to tell strangers about! Thank you to Dale and everyone at Cornett for making my winters warm and my summer cool!!

Do not use for re-piping and re circulation system terrible experience and results, do not use them for anything of this scope.  They did not know current code requirements or current technology. They are OK for putting in a toilet or something simple like a garbage disposal.

It took them almost 4 weeks to complete. They'd be gone for 4 or 5 days then show up to work a little. I decided to pull a permit because they made me nervous about their workmanship and understanding. They failed the first inspection. They argued with me about what had to be completed to meet code, even after the city inspector told them what was code.  The front office would not call me to tell me they would show up.  They complained that it took longer because of the routing. Which is completely unfounded. We were remodeling and had a completely open kitchen and master bath down to the studs and an open attic. They were the first trade into the space.

They were unprepared for the job and had to use my ladders for access.  They said The boss doesn't let us have tall ladders. They said our wood was old and to strong so they were going to start notching structural members with a grinder, which I stopped.  Turned out all they needed were to buy new drill bits.

They had installed the re circulation pump in backwards.  They were going to pipe that pump so that it would have blocked access to the service the water heater burner,  using 3 elbows to make the connections. I pointed out all you have to do is raise the pump one foot and you'd only need one elbow and it wouldn't block the water heater.

They left the re circulation pump running when it was air lock, I came back to find the pump making a terrible sound. and so hot you couldn't touch it.

I went with them since they were the middle quote, but they under scoped the work and ended up charging near my high end quote, but not for the same workmanship.

Again terrible experience and results, do not use them for anything of this scope.

I called Cornett due to all the positive review here on Yelp.  I met Dale who was great.  He was a very straight forward and honest.  We are in the process of having Cornett replace a garbage disposal and remedy our outdated sprinkler system.

So far so good...

A lot of the negative reviews here focus on the 'lady' that answers the phone for them and mine is as well, but I digress.
I spoke with Dale directly on 12/15/2015 more than once that day regarding installing a new wall heater for one of my houses, the old heater died and my tenants are without heat.  

During the communications between Dale and I he gave me a price and I agreed.  Dale told me that he was going to go back out to the house to check the installation location for the heater in the next day or two.  I do not live there and gave him the number for the tenants.  During the same call he told me he would be out to install the heater on either 12/22 or 12/13.  I immediately notified the tenants about both him coming by and the install date, all is well, or so I thought.  
Today is 12/23 and the 'lady' calls me from Cornett and wants to schedule an install date, I immediately indicate that Dale and I spoke directly and he was supposed to have the job done by today.  We hang up and she calls Dale, she calls back and tells me nope, the earliest date I have is 01/06!  I had no choice but to take the reservation and figure out my options later.  

A few hours later on 12/23 I got home and pulled my notes from the phone call out of my file and I had written it all down during the phone call and I was right, Dale did promise to do the above and I did not remember it incorrectly.   So I call back and ask the lady to send a message for Dale to call me and explain what happened and WOW, she could not get me off the phone quick enough.  She initially said a message would not work and call back in the morning but when I asked again to send a message she became the coldest, rudest, most unapologetic person of any person at a business I have ever spoken to, and I fully understand why the negative reviews here are directed towards her.  Before she was able to hang up on me I did manage to tell her to cancel the whole order as I am not going to give thousands of my hard earned dollars to a company that has an employee like that.  
Dale seemed like a nice guy but I have to say he lied to me, I guess there were more important customers or something.  
Business' need to remember that the voice on the phone are usually the first impression of their business.

Great experience with Cornett - twice! I had Cornett over a few weeks ago to replace the hose bibs on my washer/dryer. Fast service, and a reasonable rate. I found a need to call them again a short time later.

I tried to install a smart thermostat on my HVAC and messed up the installation. I called Dale, and he came out the same day (today!) and told me that I had burned out my transformer (oops). He replaced it and verified that my smart thermostat is now working like it should.

Thanks, Dale!

We heard a leak in our wall on New Year's Eve.  Not something you want to hear on a holiday weekend.  We had a different plumbing company come out that day.  The person sent was a young kid who couldn't get an access panel off to get into our crawl space.  To make matters worse, our water couldn't be turned off because the valve had been stripped.  He told us he couldn't help us that night.  Our HOA suggested Cornett Plumbing & Heating because they had done a lot of work at our complex in the past.  I called this morning at 6:00 am.  They were here by 10:00 am.  Less than two hours later, the entrance to the crawl space was opened up, a new valve was installed, and the pipe was fixed.  Dan was absolutely great!  I will definitely recommend him and Cornett to everyone I know.

Thank you Edwin!
I called this morning, they promised to be here by this afternoon, and  here it is noon and my clean out is cleaned out!  Showed me the roots causing the problem, offered some suggestions to prevent it, and was on his way.  Polite and professional.
Will call Cornett again definitely.

Needed all of the old asbestos heating ducts in our newly-purchased 1950's house replaced.  Estimate was very competitive, and Dave Cornett was a delight.  Job completed on time and on budget, and estimates for future work were very competitive as well.  Guess I found my plumber/HVAC guys!

We got this company from Yelp to come for a second opinion  ,with  a short notice  Like all reviewer , prompt ,pleasant, and then checked out the 20 something  year old furnace and why it wasnt working properly.

He saw the possible problem , checked it,  replaced it and then it was working fine. He also taught me the mechanism why it stopped working properly here and there and another possible cause to watch for and recommended to keep the furnace cabinet closed and replace the filter every 2 months during use since we have dogs.

I told him what the other company said to me and checked it also and said there was no crack .No sales pitch of trying to replace the heater becuase of this and that,

I asked him to replace the ancient  thermostat and he did with a value line  digital  programable thermostat from Goodman and now the heating in the house is more effecient.

Thank you

Pricewise , I would say they are comparable to other companies , of course it is cheaper the buy the material oneself but labor is always part of the fee.

We used Cornett for our HVAC needs in our home a few years ago.  My wife who handles all the household repairs was so impressed with Del, the owner, who came out.  She had no problem remembering Cornett when she thought our AC was not working up to par during this recent heat wave.

She contacted Cornett and had an excellent experience with Manelle and another receptionist who were very kind and accommodating.  She helped us fill a cancellation the next day!  Ordinarily they are booked a month in advance, so we were lucky.

They called to let her know Wayne, the son, was on his way.  He even called while on route.  My wife was again impressed with his thoroughness and expertise.  

We can wholeheartedly recommend Cornett, and will certainly use them again.

It's easy for companies to just write you off and say your warranty expired.

In the past 2 years we have had a wall heater and water heater purchased and installed by Coronett, costing us close to $4k in less than two years.

Our wall heater cost us $2k, was installed in feb 2018 and already has broken down. Basically I threw away $2k of our hard earned money to simply be told it's out of warranty and will cost us over $300 to repair.
 

Updated: thanks Wayne for your response, just called your office and left you a message....I hope you can work something out to make us all

Thank you Wayne for helping us out!

I'm mean, I could have been told anything....My heater/furnace in the attic shorted out and I figured I was at least going to need a new motor...I was really afraid of needing a new system. Mine is pretty old. Anyway Dale came to the house and located the part that went bust and shorted out. I was expecting to pay $600 plus, but it turned out to be $185! Such a blessing considering how short on money we are right now. This place is awesome with Dale showing integrity and keeping the costs down! Thank you Cornett!

Seriously...if your looking for a heating company, stop looking...you've found it.

I have twice used Cornett Plumbing and Heating to make updates / improvements to my plumbing (actually my house's plumbing -- I'd need to call someone very different to work on my own plumbing)!  For both jobs, Roger performed the majority of the work, and he did an excellent job.  

On the first job, he replaced my bathtub drain line, since the bathtub drain was fused to the drain line and couldn't be removed.  It was well worth the money to have Roger replace the drain line--if I tried to crawl under my house with a blowtorch, only bad things would have happened!  Roger even gave me an extra sweated piece of copper pipe, since he saw I was going to botch another repair by using a compression fitting.  On the second job, he replaced my water heater, and ran some new copper piping in my garage so that I could move my washer / dryer hookups.

For both jobs, Roger took his time to ensure that the work performed was high quality and would last for a long time.  His work was done at a very reasonable price, and I will definitely call him the next time I need any more plumbing work performed.

My parents are senior citizens and I am always a bit nervous when service professionals come to their house for repairs when I'm not there. This is the second time I've called on Cornett, once for the wall heater and today for the water heater.  Both times I got same day appointments. I was pleasantly surprised with today's call since last night was extremely windy and they were busy with other customers' wind-related issues.  

From the time I called to the service person's arrival, Cornett was courteous, came in the time frame promised, called with an estimated time of arrival, and most importantly, honest in their assessment of the problem. In both cases, no repairs were needed only adjustments, safety checks, and truthful advice and suggestions for what repairs/replacements may be needed in the future.

I highly recommend Cornett!  

p.s.  Living in Orange County I am not familiar with Torrance businesses and services. Yelp has not only helped me find OC-business for my use but has proved essential for finding service professionals in the Torrance area.  Thank you, Yelp, for providing such a useful site!

We highly recommend Cornett Plumbing - Heating.

Our house needed a total re-piping job with copper pipes.  We interviewed a few different companies and decided on Cornett because the price was competitive and more so the professional- Jason- that came to our home was so reassuring and honest.  

This is not a fun thing to go through at all and we had put it off for too long.  Jason made us feel secure about our decisions on what product to chose and the best and most efficient way to re-pipe our home.  

It took about four days and each morning Jason and Josh were on time and ready to start the work.  They went out of their way to address all our questions and requests.  They cleaned up the house as best as possible after each work day.

The re-piping is now finished and we are SO relieved.  The job that Cornett did was outstanding.  They did not take any short cuts and even did extra work towards the end of the project.  

We are so glad we chose Cornett.  We even went to their office before the job began and the office staff was so nice and professional and helpful.

Mikey came to help with an issue and was very polite, clean and responsive.  Our work required an additional follow up for more major work which he clearly explained and walked us through.  The only reason we dont give 5 stars is the front office scheduling was a bit challenging and we had to continue to follow up to get answers and schedule.  Once we finalized the remaining major work Mikey came out once again and rocked it.  Very professional, hard worker who continued to walk us through the process.  Cornett is lucky to have an employee like Mikey and his face to the company highlights great service and great work.

I wish I could give them 6 stars. Our old forced-air heater started acting up, during very cold weather. I called Cornett but they couldn't come out for a few days. I made an appointment w them, figuring I would cancel it if I got things resolved before they could come. Meanwhile, because it was so cold and we had no heat, I then called another local heating/air company that advertises - they were available. When the guy arrived (2 hours late) he looked at the heater from about 5 feet away, identified it as a Consolidated heater that had been recalled a decade ago, and told me he couldn't repair it, and offered me a next-day install of a new heater. I thought I'd get a second opinion (I knew I had the Cornett appointment in a few days). So we bundled up and roughed it - like Southern CA cold is roughing it. Meanwhile I went online to both Torrance and Redondo Beach govt sites and researched the Consolidated heater recall. Our unit's model, name and serial number were NOT on any recall list. Nor was the BRAND. I do appreciate that our unit LOOKED like the Consolidated heaters - at least from five feet away. I then called the Midwest manufacturer of OUR heater - and sent them pics. Our unit was definitely made by them, and was old, but was not on any recall list. A day later, on schedule, Cornett called and confirmed the appointment. Dale arrived, on time. A great guy. A friendly expert. He explained heaters to me. He confirmed this was NOT a recalled model, and he made an adjustment that will see us through this winter, and maybe longer. All is well. And if/when we need a new heater, guess we're we are going? Cornett's estimate was less than the estimate offered us by the service guy who had incorrectly identified our heater as recalled, and unfixable.

Cornett. That's where you want to go. I know sometimes things can get funky re service and parts and working w any company or any mechanical device, so MAYBE someone w a gripe-review about Cornett truly has a bonafide gripe. Or maybe not. From our experience, Cornett is spectacular - the real deal. And the lady who first took my call and scheduled the appointment was friendly and efficient.

Six stars. Maybe seven.

Just called to make an appointment for tomorrow because our A/C unit is not working properly. The receptionist said I would have to call back tomorrow to make an appt. because she just shut down her computer and is walking out the door. I called at 4:40 pm and they close at 5 pm. Really? Cornett has been my absolute favorite place for all my A/C and plumbing needs as the techs have been great. Office help really needs some help. This is a shame.

Again, top notch service from the people at Cornett Plumbing & Heating.  After water from a pin hole leak in the ceiling damaged one of the rooms in our home, my wife and I decided it's time to repipe.  Went with PEX and got quotes from several contractors to see how they compared to Cornett.  Some bid higher while others quoted lower.  Some of them had only been repiping with PEX for a short time while others had years of experience, but also tried to up-sell equipment not needed as well as overcharge for the job.  Jason from Cornett came out for the estimate.  Explained the pros and cons of PEX and copper as well as the costs.  I brought up the items other plumbers had mentioned during their estimates and he explained they were not needed or would not make a significant difference to water quality and only add to the cost of the repipe.  Discussed the route where the new water lines would go and met with the abatement company to show where he wanted the holes to be specifically cut.

After the abatement company finished making their cuts, Jason came out with his brother, Josh and the pair worked quickly and efficiently to complete the repipe.  The duo worked independently on their assignments to finish sections of the house fast but employed a sense of team work, if that makes sense.  At the end of each day, they cleaned up their respective areas nicely and brought any old copper pipe and debris with them.

While working the job, I pointed out some non-related plumbing issues I had and Jason took care of those as well for a significantly less cost than what I thought it would be.  Nothing but positive comments for these guys and a continued commitment to excellence from Cornett Plumbing & Heating.

Stop looking anywhere else - Cornett Plumbing and Heating is so awesome - we had another heating company tell us that we basically had to replace the entire heating assembly of our furnace ($$$) - well Dale from Cornett diagnosed that we needed one part, he replaced it and saved us hundreds of dollars (plus we have heat again!!)! Thank you to Cornett for having the integrity and honesty that so many companies lack nowadays - you guys rock! If you are looking for the right company to do your work - stop your search and call Cornett now - you won't be disappointed!

This is an update from an earlier review where I gave Cornett a negative rating.  

I had contacted Cornett  needing service on my floor heater.  I was aware that my heater was very old and no one made them anymore.  However when making the appointment, I was told that they had experience with these heaters because of their years of experience with the older homes in my area.  The technician came out and told me that my heater was un-fixable and I would need to install a new system.  However, the layout of my house would not accommodate the recommended wall heater without extensive remodeling.  At the time I was given no other alternatives and  to my dismay, was charged $94.50 for the service call.    

UPDATE:
As a result of my initial rating on YELP, I was IMMEDIATELY notified by the owner, Wayne Cornett.  First he apologized for the lack of service and arranged to come back personally to see the problem.  He stated that if he couldn't fix it, they would return my service fee.  

As soon as I called back to arrange his visit, he was able to come the very next day.  He went under the house and looked at the problem himself.  Due to the age of the heater, he wasn't sure if they still made parts for it, but if not, he offered reasonable alternatives that WOULD NOT require demolishing walls or any remodeling.  Wayne was awesome!  He immediately did some research and was able to find parts!!!  When he returned, he was able to repair the heater in a few hours and now it's working as good as new!!!  Not only that, the cost was VERY reasonable.  Needless to say, I was very pleased with the service and, because in the 35 years I've lived here, this old heater really put out the heat and was much quieter than the newer systems.

One thing I learned is, if I was dissatisfied, I should have contacted the owner before writing a bad review.  From now on I'll be calling Cornett for all my plumbing and heating needs.  Thanks again, Wayne!

Contacted Cornett Plumbing and Heating because of the wonderful reviews on Yelp!  Forced air heater stopped working.  From the first phone call, the prompt appointment, an honest and fair estimate, repair, and even paying the bill was a pleasure working with this company.  Wayne Cornett has another very satisfied customer!  

I would highly recommend this company to any one and will definitely use them again!!!

My husband and I needed to get a new forced air heating unit and called several companies to come out and give us quotes.  Wayne Cornett (it's a family run business) came out, was refreshingly honest, did not try to upsell and gave us an incredibly fair price.

We were scheduled for an installation 3 days later.  Wayne was prompt and installed in record time.  He was in and out by lunchtime!

I highly recommend them to anyone in South Bay.

Thank you for all the plumbing jobs well done! We first met Roger the plumber and Manal the dispatcher when we had a shower leak in the wall. Roger was expert, professional, and efficient in solving a complex problem. On later visits that included replumbing a master shower, we have been privileged to develop friendly and trusting relationships with Roger and Manal.  Then, over the holidays, we had a slab leak in the living room. It was an absolute pleasure to work once again with Manal; she was knowledgeable, responsive, and courteous. Under a tight timeframe, she coordinated a team led by Josh and Jason to complete the repair before our daughter returned home. Subsequently, we made the decision to re-pipe the entire house. Josh and Jason spearheaded an effort that was respectful of our home and privacy. The work was completed on time; furthermore, they were focused on providing follow-up and service to ensure total satisfaction.

Dale, the owner, embodies the culture and professionalism of Cornett. Every team member is gracious, skilled, and provides excellent workmanship.
Although we do not wish for additional plumbing issues, it is a delight to work with Cornett.

Had a problem with a bathroom sink. Called Cornett at 9am it was fixed by 130pm. The staff was very friendly. They gave me a 2 hour window but called me to let me know when Roger was 20 minutes out. Roger is excellent . Very friendly and knowledgeable . I would not hesitate to use Cornett again . I will also recommend them to anyone that is looking for a fast, friendly, knowledgeable Plummer.

We have a toilet of doom!  It gets backed up whenever it's feeling blue.  

We have used Cornett plumbing twice so far.

First time was about a year ago, one of our toilets wasn't flushing, time to call the plumber.  Since our plumber decided to retire at 45, sweet!  my friend suggested two options, one of them (a one man operation well known in RB) was on vacay, the other one was Cornett.  So I called them and waited.  The technician came and cleared stoppage very quickly, the bill was $110.  

Few months ago, the same toilet backed up again, this time we had the city clear the main.  

Just when I thought we won't be having another plumbing problem for a while, it flared up again, damn!  So I called Cornett on Tuesday around 2:30pm, I wanted to know what would be the estimate if they have to lift the toilet off the seal to clear the clog,  the lady on the phone asked me why we need to do that, I told her there were seepage around the base of the toilet.  She said it didn't sound like they need to do that and she advised me to call within 30 mins if I want the job done today.  I called again 20mins later, this time I talked to a different lady who said it's $110 to clear the stoppage and it shouldn't be more than $135 if they have to lift the toilet.  I was dubious with her quote, but that bowl of trouble needed to be dealt with...

Roger showed up very quickly after that, and turned out he did need to do the following:

1) Disconnect and lift toilet off seal.
2) Clear clog in pipe.
3) Replace wax seal.
4) Replace and reconnect toilet.

He had to do step 4 twice, because it didn't work the first time, it took him long time to get it working.  Phew!

The bill was $245.99 this time.  I like Cornett for their quick dispatch this time, but I hope I don't have to call them soon.

All I can say is Wayne was amazing. He is honest, fair, and most of all reliable. We have had a bad Ac unit which wasn't blowing out cool air. I got multiple quotes from different companies and even got someone to try and fix it. Let's just say, it was a very long drawn out and stressful experience. Then Wayne came into the picture, diagnosed the problem, and presented possible solutions the problem. He was able to replace the whole unit and have us up and running within 1 week. It was a very stress free and pleasant experience. He gave us a fair deal and now I'm sitting here as cool as can be. Don't hesitate and book them!

Imagine Christmas Day stepping down on a wet carpet...I called and left a message with Cornett to  come as soon as they could. The next day, Dale,boss showed up himself, as a worker had been ill and they were short handed.  Dale was professional, friendly and used his leak detector to  locate our leak.  His very efficient and qualified workers arrived the next day jack hammering up our concrete slab, and repaired the leaking pipe.  We were very  pleased with their excellent work, cleaned up  the place, and the bill was less than Dale had estimated...We will most assuredly use Cornett with any future plumbing problems

5 stars for sure....

Floor heater stopped working right-- sometimes working & sometimes not. Got a referral from realtor friend  for Cornett company. Was serviced by heating tech Dave .. great & professional service!! I could tell he was experienced & extremely knowledgeable in heating repair/ operations. He also had another guy to help. The other guy was young & I could tell he was obviously not as knowledgeable /experienced  but Dave was great training & guiding him. He got it working & called the next morning to check if it was working. I am glad I took the advise to call Cornett. I would definitely recommend Cornett company for heating repairs (Dave) I heard they are reputable plumbing repairs as well.

Wayne fixed my geriatric heater! Two other people wouldn't even come out to look at it, but wanted to install a new one for $2500 or more. Got the heater working and installed a new thermostat for less than $200. He showed up on time and was pleasant and courteous in addition to competent.

We just had our gas furnace in the attic fixed at noon today. They did a good job. I am sorry. I was too excited to ask the technician's name. He is a tall, good looking guy probably in his 40s. He is super efficient. It took only him a few minutes to check the problem (our heater can run for a few minutes and shut off by itself), then he said he thought it's the bad capacitor, went to his truck, got a compatible capacitor, put it back, done. Yesterday (Sunday Nov 6, 2011), we asked somebody from Cole Heating (website: losangeles-heating.com) to come. Cole is such a rip-you-off or rob-you company. Don't try them if you don't want to be fooled around and ripped off. Cole's technician told us circuit board, capacitor, thermostat all should be replaced with $1220+tax. so he suggest us to replace the current furnace with Lennox one at $3995 if pay by check. ( got to pay tax if pay by credit card). Even though I have no idea about heating furnace, but I think both numbers are just TOO high. My husband thought so too, but he believed that if we replace components and they should be the three parts that he told us. So we kind of decide to buy a new furnace from another company. I ask two companies to come over today to give me an estimate of a new furnace. Actually, Cornett technician called me before our appointment time (I like it because they are punctual and ahead of time) and when the technician show up. He told me 10 year furnace is not old at all. I am really suprised to know this NEW information. Because this is absolutely the opposite to what I was told by Cole technician who said 10 years are long for a furnace. even if we replace the three parts, who knows if other parts are gonna fail soon. It's kind of persuading us to buy a new one. And he sees I am pregnant and the weather is old..... It's hard to believe Cole technician took advantage of our immediate urgency but he obviously did. Back to my comment to Cornett. Cornett technician ONLY changed a capacitor and it works just like before!!! Cornett company is a trustable company. They told us the truth. I will highly recommened Cornett to my friends, neighbour and you!!!

Dale rocks!
We have 1950's-era Crane sinks, with Dial-Ese connectors that most plumbers haven't a clue how to work on. But Dale knew the stuff inside out and eased our fears that we were going to have to replace the whole damn sink because of a bad valve and impossible-to-find parts. He also took care of a balky Moen shower cartridge in no time flat.
Perhaps the best thing is his integrity. We had a sink's hot-water supply line leaking badly. He could have told us we needed a new valve and line and all sorts of stuff. Nope, just tighten down the packing and good as new.
While Dale was here, I also asked him some questions about a potential back-bathroom renovation my wife and I are pondering. He was clear, precise and detailed in his appraisal of our plans, and really helped us in terms of what our next step should be.
These guys are awesome. Prompt. Courteous. Skilled. A good value.

I had a super slow draining shower. After reading reviews on Yelp of other plumbers in the area I decided to call Cornett. Jason was able to unclog the drain in less than 15 minutes and for a very reasonable price compared to other quotes I received from other companies. I will definitely be using them again for any future plumbing issues.

Poor front desk support. I made my appointment 2 weeks ago based on Yelp reviews. I called their office yesterday to reconfirm my appointment for 8-10:00 window and asked for the early part of the window but was declined and was offered an appointment for another day. I told the woman that I took the day off for this appointment so I will keep it. I received a voicemail at 9:00 this morning requesting to reconfirm appointment. I didn't have my cell phone close by to hear it ring. At 9:15, I called the office and was told that since I could not be reached, the technician skipped me and went to another job.  Office lady said she usually tells people about this procedure. She didn't inform me when I called to make the appointment and she didn't inform me when I called to reconfirm yesterday. Actually, she was rather unprofessional and condescending when I called yesterday stating I wanted to reconfirm my appointment. I was waiting for her to respond by asking for my info but instead she started laughing and said HELLO? HELLO? I need your name... WTH? Rather than wasting more time dealing with this woman and spending my money here, I made an appointment with another heating company based on Yelp reviews. They are not the only ones working with a schedule.

Had a gentleman out to give me a quote on having air conditioning installed 2 and a half weeks ago.  He was supposed to email me the quote and I never heard a thing.  After reading such great reviews for this company I was bummed to get ghosted like this.  While he was here he had nothing but negative things to say about how difficult the job was going to be, so he probably just didn't want it.  I've since had 2 other companies out and neither were phased or made the job sound difficult at all.  I gave 2 stars because the plumbing guys are great... this particular AC experience, not so much!

Great service and great attitude! (It was good meeting you, Dale.) 5 stars all the way.

I think a lot of home owners are in the same boat I was in... not knowing who is reputable and who isn't. I used Cornett's reviews on Yelp to help me decide to take a chance on them. I'm very glad I did. I feel I now have a go-to company for plumbing and heating.

Prompt response... even at the height of our South Bay cold spell, I was offered next day service for furnace/heater repair. Dale gave me a call when he was on his way, so I wasn't left wondering. (The front office girl was very friendly and professional too... sorry I didn't catch her name...)

I think many people worry about getting charged for unnecessary work. I mean, how can you know unless you're an expert yourself? Funny thing... I was expecting to pay $$$ based on research I had done on the Internet. I believed I knew the trouble and that the part was going to cost big bucks.

Turns out that NO parts needed to be replaced. Dale removed a small part that clearly was in need of a cleaning, He did his thing, and my furnace is working like brand new. For a less reputable company, the opportunity was certainly there to sell a high priced repair and I wouldn't have known the difference. Dale and Co. are obviously above that.

Talking to Dale for a while gave me the impression that he and Cornett truly care about their customers. He's been doing this work since he was a young man-back when his dad ran the company, so there is certainly pride in doing a good and honest job.

Great Torrance family-owned company! Thanks again, Dale.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. I made the mistake of changing the filter in our heater.  When I completed the job the heater would not come on.  I called Cornett Plumbing and Heating and the next day Dave came out to fix it. He was very friendly and explained how our heater worked. He saw the problem right away, he fixed our heater and now it is working great.  I've decided no more in home projects for me. Truth be said put a tool in my hand and I am an accident looking for a place to happen.  From now on for our yearly maintenance of our heater I will call Cornett Pluming & Heating!!!!!

When I used to live in Torrance we used Cornett to fix our HVAC issues.
Over the years we had 2~3 different guys come and fix our A/C & Heater, but I remember there was this one chubby dude (forgot his name) that came when our A/C was broken.
The dude was seriously genuinely nice and was super patient with me. I'm like super ignorant about this so I asked him like 9284935 questions, he didn't seem irritated and answered every single question. Cornett's getting 5 stars cause of him.

During a recent heat-wave I noticed our central air conditioning wasn't blowing cool air. I went to Yelp to find the top AC repair companies and called the top 6. Cornett called me back the very next morning and I set up an appointment for the next day. While on the phone, Del explained to me just what I needed, how it's done and gave me a rough estimate.
The next morning Wayne called and said he was on the way. He showed up right on time, asked what I needed and started working immediately. He installed a new Honeywell digital thermostat, programmed it and explained how it worked. Wayne was very nice and professional. He then recharged my AC unit and checked the furnace and blower. He gave me a new washable & reusable filter at no charge. He then gave me advice on how I can DIY to make my furnace run more efficiently.
My family now enjoys a nice cool house even when it's scorching hot outside. Just in time for the next upcoming heat-wave.
I'm more than pleased & satisfied with how Cornett handled my AC needs from start to finish.

Hello All, I just wanted to say that I called Cornett Plumbing and Heating along with 3 other places. Cornett was the only place that returned my call. I appreciate that! Dale came out to look at my A/C, but realized that it was a heat pump. From the start he said he does not fix heat pumps, but looked at it anyway.  I appreciate the fact that he looked at it.  He was honest.  He told me he could not fix it and did not charge me, but did provide me with someone else's information who fixes heat pump A/C's. cornett Plumbing and Heating is VERY HONEST! Not usual now a days.

TERRIBLE SERVICE! Do not use this company. I've called for several days to set up an appointment and on my last attempt to reach someone, I get this rude woman on the phone who says her name is Minel (spelling not sure because she said she doesn't have to spell her name!) who apparently thinks she can be as rude as she wants to be and it's ok. When asked to speak to the manager she says she is the manager. Who ever the owner is of this business please be aware you have the wrong person answering the phone! There are lots of plumbing companies out there so pass up Coronett and find one that treats people well. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!

To the business owner's reply...THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT THAT CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT!  WE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THE FEE!  And if you don't think she was rude, then that explains why she was rude. You let it be ok!

Two years ago we had a new heater installed by So Cal Plumbing & Heating.     They called and we were advised by them that we should have the unit checked since it was over 2 yrs old.  Their technician checked the heater and the ducts in our attic and advised us that there was asbestos in the ducts which would require the removal and replacement of all the ducts.  The cost would be about $4,000.  We decided to get a second opinion and called Cornett Plumping and Heating, who we have used in the past and we're always happy with their service.  The technician, Wayne Cornett came at the scheduled time and checked everything out and told me that there was no problem with the ducts in the attic and that the asbestos was properly covered. He also noticed that the heater that we purchased from So Cal Plumping was too big for the size of our home and that was the reason it was so loud when it was on.  He was great and saved us $4,000!
We've used Cornett many times in the past and their technicians were always very professional, knowledgeable and honest.

We hired Cornett to replace a water heater that suddenly stopped working.  I called them first thing in the morning and they came out a few hours later. Bryan was the tech and he was very straightforward and knowledgeable. He explained our options and gave us the lowdown on tank vs tankless heaters and the pros and cons of each. He never tried to upsell services and their prices were very reasonable. By the end of the day we had our new water heater installed and they did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend them.

We confidently recommend Cornett Plumbing for even the largest and the most complicated job. They completed our total repipe in a short time with almost no mess nor damage at all. The necessary drywall and stucco cuts were extremely minimal. The repairs are invisible and were done with no sanding and no dust at all. Dale and his crew are skilled, honest and polite professionals.

Dale took time in advance to carefully plan the job for efficiency and to educate me on the repiping process. We are pleased with the price and with the results of Cornett's work.

I called Cornett Plumbing & Heating after seeing all the positive reviews on Yelp. Dayle came out to my house to repair the heater. He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave me an estimate on the spot. It was a little higher than I wanted to pay, but we need a heater since it has been exceedingly cold at nights. So I went ahead and authorized him to do the work.

He did a great job. He changed the circuit board and the thermostat. He showed me how to change the filter on my own. The next day the heater wasn't working and I called Dayle again. He came out to inspected it and made the final repairs. We slept in a warm house last night!! Thanks Dayle!

Cornett Plumbing and Heating in Torrance, CA is the best! Dale was a great help.

We  live in Palos Verdes and we weren't sure if our problem was our furnace or our thermostat.

Dale quickly identified our problem was with our furnace. He fixed our problem in a short time and we couldn't be happier!

We give Cornett 5 stars for quick on-time response,
friendly and very smart service and a very fair price for such great work.

We highly recommend Cornett Plumbing and Heating and Dale's work. (And, though we've used other companies over a long period... Dale and Cornett will always be our choice for heating and plumbing in the future!!)

Amazing service!!! First time customer based on yelp reviews. They sent Roger the plumber out to fix my drain stoppage and found the source all on the same day. The pricing was average but he was very honest and I didn't feel like he was trying to make a buck off me. He was very professional too. He showed up on time and smelled good...lol. I don't understand why they a couple bad reviews which I think were either fake or are from very anal customers. Thanks again for all your help. I will be referring you guys.

I spoke with Wayne on the phone about problems with my thermostat.  I made an appointment for a service call, but he also suggested that the problem may just be that the battery needed replacing.  Well, it turned out that was the case, so I was able to save myself the fee of a service call and didn't have to lose time from work! I am so grateful to Wayne and am impressed with the integrity of his customer service.  I will definitely use Cornett for any problems that I have in the future because I feel like they are an honest business with great customer service.

Have utilized their services in the past for small plumbing repairs, then we needed a gas hot water heater installation. Dave arrived, and the trouble with him promptly ensued. He started to complain and it never seemed to end the entire time he was here in the garage. My father sat out there supervising. Dave continued on about the hot water heater we selected, bought and paid for elsewhere, and angry it came with a power blower....it had all the same parts as the older one he was removing, except this one needed an elctrical outlet (which there was beside it). Our heater had all the updated emmisons Ca standards,(prop65) energy efficient star rating, and had a 12 year warranty. He kept coming into the house with dirty wet work boots, and nasty disposable gloves.....just to complain even more. Josh his helper, tried to deliver their hot water heater,and tried to show Dave a YouTube turtorial about installing thei A.O Smith hot water heater on his iPhone. Dave was clueless about installing ours, and it showed with the amount of angry jesters, and constant complaining. We asked how much does he charge by the hour, and said he charges by the job. He wanted to charge us $750 for two new hoses, a drain valve, removal and discarding of old heater, and installing new heater. INSANE. According to Dave, IF WE HAD SELECTED THE ONE HE BROUGTH HE WOULD HAVE CHARGED $1500, with only a 6 year warranty, no Ca.emission standards, and not energy star rated. After enduring his wrath for two hours, he didn't even bother to clean up his debris. Good ridence.

I have an old house in Torrance and after 70 years the floor furnace decided to no longer communicate with the thermostat on the wall.  Dave came out a service call and was able to get the furnace to light by using the thermostat but the readings on his voltmeter and the weak pilot light convinced me to have the floor furnace overhauled.  Dave gave me a fair estimate and the work was completed in a very professional manner.  Even though he had to go under the house through a trap door in the bedroom he put plastic down and I had no clean up when he finished.  The work was completed on a Friday and the following Monday morning Dave called to be sure the furnace was operating satisfactorily.  It was a pleasure to do business with a company who completes their work on time and honors their quotes.  I would not hesitate to recommend Cornett plumbing and Heating to anyone.

My kitchen was flooded and I found out about it at  midnight. I called several plumbers who offered emergency service. Some told me it would be about 2 hours to get to my home. I called Cornett Plumbing. Wayne Cornett came out in half an hour and took care of the problem. He was professional, and yes, did not smell bad!!

I would recommed Cornett Plumbing as I was very happy with their service

During the heat of the last few weeks, our air conditioner unit outside stopped working and no cool air was being produced.  I called Cornett to come out and repair it if possible.  The appointment was for early afternoon so I left work early to be sure that I'd be home on time.

I got a call from the serviceman when he arrived, a few minutes after the appointment time, just to confirm I was home.  He came up, asked for the synopsis, and then started investigating.  He checked the fuses and discovered one had die.  My unit uses 25A fuses, but he only had 20A, so he replaced the old pair with those.  We then turned the A/C on, but it wouldn't start.  He opened the side panel on the unit and started testing some stuff there.  He determined it was the capacitor that had gone bad, so he replaced that as well and the A/C started working.  Fantastic!

He came inside and showed me how to replace the A/C filter to increase air flow, and suggested doing it once for the winter and once for the summer, since each filter is supposed to last for 90 days of use (and I had never even known there was a filter to change).

The total came to $177 for parts and labor, which seems a bit on the high side for about 30 minutes of labor (though it was pretty hot outside, unfortunately), some fuses ($15 at Home Depot), and a capacitor that must be $15-$25 according to this site grainger.com/Grainger/ec…, but I'm happy that the A/C is working and the serviceman arrived on time, friendly, explained what he was doing, and worked expeditiously.  I'd likely seek their services again.

Cornett Plumbing was great. I had an issue with my kids bathroom and not only did they try and help me over the phone and walk me through how to do a simple fix they did an awesome job fixing our sink.  Dave O cam out and quickly fixed our under sink plumbing in less than 1 hour.  He came at the time given over the phone and provided a respectable and fair quote without giving us any sales pitch for thing we didn't need.  He was super friendly and didn't keep my wife busy while she was working from home.

We will be using Cornett Plumbing again.

After purchasing our first home, we had two leaks within the first two months. I worked with other plumbing companies who were much more expensive, less reliable and not as responsive. Once I finally started working with Cornett, everything became exponentially easier. Plus, their entire team (every tech I met) is so warm and easy to work with, which is a bonus. I'll continue working with them from here out! But let's hope I don't have to. ;)

Honest and reliable! We just purchased our home a few months ago in Manhattan Beach. Our neighbor recommended this company for a leak in our back house. Gabriel found the leak in our sprinkler system. He also went above and beyond to answer all my questions and concerns with other plumbing issues. I will definitely use this company again! Thank you, Gabriel!!!!

I called on Wednesday to schedule an appointment for a non-urgent issue.  The woman who answered the phone said a plumber would be out between 9-11am on Friday.  This time worked for us because my husband didn't leave for work until 1p.  At 1130a, my husband called inquiring about the service call.  The woman who answered the call told him his wife called and needed to reschedule the appointment.  He told her he didn't think I did.  She replied by saying they were short staffed today and she could have someone come out but it would be later.  After speaking with my husband, I called the office and the same woman who answered my first call answered again.  I asked to speak with management but she did not transfer me to anyone.  She said several times that she got confused and she could send someone out later.  She confirmed they were short staff today.  We were unable to wait for later in the afternoon because my husband had to leave for work.  Knowing this was a non-urgent call, I wish they would have called us and asked to reschedule.  I'm disappointed in the scheduling.  We have  used Cornett plumbing in the past and have been happy with the plumbing services but I am really disappointed in the scheduling.

Please support this local, family run business!!!  I have used Cornett's services twice in three months - both were for problems with my parents' heaters.  On both occassions the service provided by Cornett was first rate from the person answering the phones and scheduling the appointments to the people sent out to our home.  We have worked with Dave and Wayne - both very professional and friendly! On both occassions Dave and Wayne took a lot of time providing me with information, explaning what the possible problems were, and provided me with the most simple and most affordable repair option FIRST(wow what a difference from those news stories you always see about repair companies ripping consumers off!).  

Great experience using this company and they are definitely my go-to for heating problems.

Contacted Cornett Plumbing through Yelp for local plumbers.  Got a quote and appointment set up within reasonable time.  Bryan did a clean installation on my kitchen faucet and garbage disposal.  Price was reasonable and workmanship was great. Could have rated 5 stars but didn't want this to sound like a fake biased review.
I would use Cornett Plumbing again in the future, and would recommend to others in Torrance.  Local businesses should treat local residence well for long term goals/success.

Once again I used Cornett plumbing. I have to say that I use to dread  calling a plumber before I started using Cornett for fear that I'll be taken advantage of.  I have had such great experiences with Cornett, I feel confident that they will do a good job and not over charge. This time I needed to have my kitchen faucet changed out. I requested  Mark , who had come out previously  and was so nice and efficient. I was very happy with the work and cost. I continue to recommend Cornett!

In Praise Of Cornett Plumbing

My wife heard a plumbing noise which we traced to the water heater.  Something was obviously leaking.

The lady at Cornett said they could send out a technician tomorrow, Friday afternoon, between one and four.  At five minutes to one they called from their office to say he was on his way; he arrived about fifteen minutes later.  We've had this sort of responsiveness and promptness from Cornett before and it is certainly appreciated.

Dave quickly identified the leaking part and the fact that the heater would have to be removed from its shelter to effect a repair.  Big job and a good opportunity to replace an aging heater that had other problems.  No pushy sales pitch from Dave, just a statement of a fact that reflected my own earlier thoughts on the subject.  Dave thought for a while and offered me the estimate I had requested.

When I asked if the work would be done next week, Dave's answer was, No, we'll do it this afternoon; you wouldn't want to be without hot water over the weekend.  Remember here that this is happening on a Friday afternoon!

I retired to the house to get out of Dave's way and about two hours later he invited me to see the new installation.  Not only was the new heater in place and functioning but a corroded inlet valve had been replaced and an overflow pipe missing on the original installation was in place.  New earthquake brackets had been fixed to house studs per code.

Now the final treat in this episode of house repairs gone right.  Dave gave me the bill and it was exactly the amount he had mentioned in his estimate.  How many times has that happened?

On their webpage, they say:

We've been in business this long because we have always provided unmatched customer service and topnotch workmanship that you can't find from most other plumbing and heating companies. Our customers can always count on us to get the job done right the first time.

and they mean it; consider them for your next plumbing job.

Came out promptly after receiving furnace part and installed in under an hour. Now our furnace works again. Their quote was significantly lower than the initial quote we received. Also looked at a couple other issues around our house and provided some good tips and advice.

Cornette did an excellent job of re-piping our copper lines throughout the house.  Completed job in 4 days. (3000 sq ft house)  Alex and crew were great - they had the experience and knowledge on taking slab plumbing and re-routing it to overhead.   Price was very competitive.  The Torrance area has a number of sub-divisions with marginal copper.  I would highly recommend Cornette for this type of a upgrade.

Michael D from Okells Fireplace recommends this company for repairing and running gas lines to fireplaces, Fire-pits and BBQ's.  We have known Cornett plumbing for many years and value our relationship.  As we all know customers spin words and sometimes omit valuable information when trying to gain information.  Our employees would never step on anyones toes because we understand the importance of building a strong network within our industry. I ask that you bring in some business cards so we can continue to work together and use you as a referral for our customers.  Happy Holidays!

Yelpers!

Cornett heating and plumbing installed our home AC unit in Torrance. Though we have not had the opportunity to really test its capabilities, thus far I am very please with the customer service, price and installation. Wayne who provided the bid was extremely personable and knowledgeable. His team came in roughly 40% less than their competitors, was fast and enjoyable to work with.

This review is purely based on Cornette Plumbing and Heating's responsiveness as I did not get a chance to work with them.
I called Cornette for a furnace installation quote after finding the great reviews. Someone came in to take a look and said he will provide me a quote next day. Never received a quote next day so called again. I was told he will send it next business day. As I did not receive the quote the next business day, I called again. Lady on the phone had no clue and said that she will follow up and provide a quote. Its been several days since and I haven't received a quote. Seems they have enough business that they don't bother to entertain new customers. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Wayne, you have a receptionist/secretary working against the profitability of your business! She's extremely rude, unprofessional, and argumentative, and has absolutely no business whatsoever dealing with the public or in customer service. I was referred by a property management company and tried getting an appointment TWICE to no avail with this woman who wouldn't give me her name, but is answering your calls! You have an enemy on your own payroll who's sabotaging your business!

I just had my furnace fixed by L & R who came out just within hours of a phone call. And the receptionist was professional, courteous, and wanted the business! She ASKED if she could put me hold AND actually came back to continue scheduling! Imagine that! She even called to inform me when tech was 20 min away. Your receptionist/secretary could learn from her!

Called them last month with a heating problem and they were there in an hour.  I already knew the problem but could not buy part because I'm not licensed.  Honest, didn't try and sell me a new furnace even though mine is over 50 years old.  I will call these guys first for an estimate when I get new furnace and add air conditioning this Spring.

The guys from Cornett replaced all the ducting in our home. They were prompt, courteous, and very reasonably priced. Dale was very straightforward, which we greatly appreciated.

What a great experience! Had a full heating and AC upgrade. Wayne and his guys were true professionals. They got rid of our old wall heater, added the attic ducts,vents etc. they did whole job in 2 days! (Very clean, and safe)Great value too. We had a couple other estimates and heard some nightmare estimates from other friends from other local companies. But not from Cornett, glad we made the decision to go with them. Truly satisfied customer.

When we had a furnace problem, the guy named Wayne came over and fixed right away except ventilation problem, which a roofer needed to replace a vent cap.  the roofer came over and took at a wrong vent and claimed it was still new.  Then, I contacted Wayne again and he responded immediately and took care of the problem.  

Thank you Wanye for your professional work!

Called Cornett on Monday and got a service scheduled for Wednesday. Requested an after 2:00 pm service and was told a technician would call after 2:00.  Wayne called at 2:08 and was at my house ten minutes later. He went right to work, found the problem with my furnace, quoted and repaired it.  He informed me that my furnace has a filter and showed me what a filter looks like after 10 years of neglect, and promptly replaced my filter and also explained how to maintain it.  My furnace is working like a champ now, thanks to Wayne and Cornett.

Cornett has consistently provided competent plumbers for us for over 10 years and they are the only company I use for everything from rooter service to toilet repair, broken pipes and faucet repairs. Today Wayne came out and replaced the corroded leaking shutoff valve and the ancient float assembly in our second bath toilet and he did it in less time than it would have taken me to go to Home Depot and back! Call Cornert and you'll never be disappointed!

Had to get some major work done on some rusted pipes in my house and they did a very good job with getting the work done and getting it done throughly. It took them almost 2 days to get everything done, but they made sure to minimize how many walls they had to make holes in and got everything done correctly. They are a little more expensive but would rather not take a risk with something like plumbing and they give like a 20 year warranty on their work. Edwin (our plumber) did a great job and was very professional.

I was told by another plumbing/heating company that my entire heating system needed to be replaced for a lot of money.   I decided to get another opinion from Cornett. Wayne at Cornett came and fixed my heater and replaced the thermostat, which was all that was needed.  He went over and beyond fixing a few plumbing and heating issues in my place.  I tend to be skeptical of contractors/heating/plumbing/electricians because I just don't know if I am getting the truth.  Working with Cornett was great!  I felt like I got honesty and efficiency and I highly recommend using them!  I know I will again!!

One star for Maysha the lady that answered the phone.  No stars for Cornett Plumbing.  I love yelp, after researching the best company for a gas leak,  (the gas company had shut off all the gas to the house) and reading that Cornett were gas leak specialists, I called them.  Maysha set up a same day appointment and then lo and behold 2 hours later I get a call that they are unable to even look at our issue because there was no gas on.  Maysha told me the boss's son told her that they could not detect a gas leak with the gas off. (WRONG)   Since air is put into the lines to check for the leak so no-one is  blown to kingdom come, I was very surprised that the son of the owner would not know that information.

I've been using these guys for a while now and they are always fair, courteous and knowledgeable. Most recently I used them for two different occasions while remodeling. Josh was patient and flexible with my extenuating circumstances - we were down to the wire with a lot of moving parts. The schedulers are easy to work with and forthright when a delay was eminent. I would recommend Cornett, and intend to use them in the future myself.

Absolutely pleased as punch with the service from Mike and Martin this morning. They were the FOURTH round of people to come and install a drip pan and washing machine over the course of a week, but the only competent professionals who could confidently complete the job (within the next day of calling too!). Great rate for the service, especially when a junior plumber was going to charge me $100 more after needing to research drip pan installation and come back the next day. I'll be calling to request Mike and Martin for all other plumbing needs!

Definitely not recommend for anything other than very minor repairs. They routinely subcontract work to other plumbers, collect a fee, and do not provide real solutions or even read what the third party plumber recommended. I had asked for a service to be done as recommended by the 3rd party plumber and Cornett did not, as they did not have the equipment. Consequently we had major issues 6 weeks later and I was told I should have asked for the service (I did) and was given several excuses. I was told they would call back to schedule a repair and I never got called back so we went a day without water. Poor customer service, no staffing, no communication with the 3rd party plumbers they contract with and reception staff trying to assess problems. No responsibility.

You're better off calling a larger plumber who has the skills and staff to get the job done right. And one who will be accountable for their work and cares about doing well.

Friday, December 19, 2014 - with the last Christmas shopping weekend just a few hours away, and the bottom of my hot water heater about to let go (upstairs in my town home) my panic cries for help were answered in less than an hour. quickly and efficiently they were able to get the very old and awkwardly located frozen handle free to shut off the flow to the water heater and empty it as well. Removal of old heater and installation would have to wait until the aquifer underneath the upstairs bathroom subfloor was also drained and surrounding areas dehumidified. (to be continued). well worth the $200!

Wayne did a video scan of sewer line before we purchased our house - no major problem found. but he did suggest creating a clean-out.-$300
Right before we moved in, I had Wayne come out and snake out the sewer line.-$100
At the same time, we had them hook up a bathroom vanity. Another guy by the name Gabriel came to do it. He didn't seem too happy to take this job in the first place. Not on time, disappears in the middle of a job, decides to come back the next day without even telling us (hello, we have to take time off work to let you in!) not impressive. Oh, and he broke the wall of our master bedroom that was sharing the wall with the bathroom. -$400 something.
We moved in, in just a week bathroom began backing up. we called them again. They came out and snaked out again -$145.
Another week, it started backing up AGAIN. I already had enough getting sucked out by the wonderful Cornetts, so called another company to snake out again. AND that was the end of the story. IT NEVER BACKED UP AGAIN. -$60
I don't know what this company did differently from Cornett...

Cornett, I don't even want to give you a star but there is no option to give you no star. You can't even do a simple snake out...that's pathetic.

My husband complained and got the first $100 back, but we will never never call Cornett. Horrible experience.

Our heating stopped working during the coldest part of this winter so far.  After having 4 other estimates that were over $5,000 to reconfigure out entire heating system we were frustrated because it seemed like all the options were too expensive and not even promised to work.

I found Cornett on Yelp, and they gave me an appointment for the same day.  Dale came and fixed our entire heating problem in 1 hour and our entire bill was less than a nice dinner out.

I highly recommend this family own and run business.

She wanted to get her water heater wrapped in a blanket since the heater is located in a metal shed outside next to her house.  I spoke to Lisa at Conrett.  She was so nice, friendly and helpful.

I have used Cornett for two properties now and each time have been pleased with their work.  Most recently I met with Dave who was a dear.  He waited patiently for almost half an hour for my tenant to come home from work to let us in because I had brought the wrong set of keys.  Poor Dave!  But he never complained once.  I will definitely continue using Cornett's services.

I scheduled an apppointment on New Years Eve to have my furnace looked at.  During the coldest spell all year it decided to stop working.  Setting up an appointment was easy and I was given a time for Wednesday morning between 800 - 1000.  I received a call at 9 from Wayne saying he was on his way and that he'd be there in about 20 minutes.  

Sure enough, Wayne showed up in the appointment window and was very personable.

I briefly explained to him the problem with my furnace, and with it being so old had really expected the worst.   I mentioned that the blower was on when plugged in and wouldnt turn off and that it would not ignite.  I step away for 2 minutes and hear the igniter for the furnace fire up.

Wayne calls me over and not only shows me how he fixed the problem so quickly, he also mentioned what the cause of the problem may be and took some extra time to verify that nothing was indeed wrong.  

Apparently there is a temperature shut down sensor that can 'trip' if it gets too hot from not 'venting' through the roof.  He said I may need a roofer to come out and replace the vent hood.  However, he checked it and showed me how to check it  at the furnace point and said, well, it looks like it's working perfectly.    It must just be a fluke.

Now for the kicker.  I would have certainly paid for him to come out - it took time, it took gas and nobody works for free.   He said he wouldnt charge me for the visit and if it acts up anymore to give them a call or if any other plumbing and / or heating needs arise.  Lastly he asked how I found out about them. I mentioned yelp and that's when I decided to come and write a review for them.

It took an exceptional and positive experience for me to fire up Yelp and write a review.  I'm normally just a mobile check-in / quick tip guy.  

For Cornett this was worth logging in and giving them a well deserved review.

They are certainly my #1 choice in the future.

I had a slab leak.  Called a company that does leak detection.  He detected a leak, but he did not investiagte further into finding the manifold to cut off the leak temporarily.  
I gave up on this company and called Cornett Plumbing.   The receptionist was extremely polite and scheduled a plumber for that day.
Mikey showed up within 2 hours and in the same amount of time as the first guy, he found the manifold that fed to the bathroom that was causing the leak.  
Mikey capped off the manifold, turned the water back on, no more slab leak.
He then provided an estimate that was extremely fair in pricing to re-route the cold and hot water piping.  I approved it and he started immediately.
By the end of the first day, Mikey had already completed 90% of the copper plumbing re-route.
He came back promptly the next morning with another plumber named Alfredo.
They were extremely quick and neat.  Job completed just after lunch.
We have running water again and no more leaks.

If you live in the South Bay and need a plumber, look no further than Cornett Plumbing and Heating.  They are an excellent company.  I will no longer have to look for plumbers as these are my go to guys from now one.

Thank you Mikey and Alfredo.  You guys are the best!!!!

We recently had a central A/C unit installed. Wayne gave us a great estimate! He didn't push replacing our existing central heating unit that other companies were recommending.

Further Wayne didn't try to sell us a larger more expensive unit as he felt we didn't need it, this was also in contrast to other companies.

Cornett Plumbing and Heating is honest, does great work and is very reliable. I highly recommend them for your A/C needs.

We used this company for the first time. Our choice was based on some positive reviews.
The service guy came on the second day after placing our order. The guy has found and fixed the problem within 45 minuets. It was a simple fixed. Quick and easy and no parts were used. To our surprise the bill was not as reasonable as we thought.  They refused to give a breakdown for the amount billed. We have no choice but have to pay what ever they asked. We will not use this company again.

What a difference experience makes!  I bought a shower/hand held combo from Kohler. I was assured... simple... just take off your old fixture and screw in the new one. Nope!  Had to have a pipenipple installed. I called a plumber who came over, charged me 200$ to tell me he couldn't help me!  (Why??  I still dont know?  Inexperienced?  Didnt care?) So it sat there for months while i tried to find someone to help. I remembered that i had used cornett before so i called. They sent Dave over... experienced, efficient, and no drama repair!  He even mounted the shower bar onto the shower tile with no problem!!  Dave from cornett is my hero!!  I so appreciate his expertise and experience!

First time using Cornett and had a great response.  Roger did the work.  He was on time,  very professional and had a fantastic demeanor.  His attention to detail was outstanding.Cornett has won a customer for life.  Thanks.

I used Cornett to get a new water heater in my house.  The water heater was in the worst possible place.  Tucked away in a tiny corner, behind under appliances, any plumber's nightmare.  Brian came to my house and did a phenomenal job.  He spent the day working on it, and my new one works way better than the old.  This guy did a helluva job.  If Brian comes to your house, consider yourself lucky, as he knows everything, will give you an honest, detailed opinion, and will work hard like a true professional.

Definitely recommend Cornett to anyone who's got a tough job or wants an honest opinion.

I used Cornett Plumbing recently to replace my fixtures in my master bathroom. They worked with my schedule to make sure that I was available when the plumber came. Alex, the plumber did an awesome job. He explained to me everything he was doing and he showed me where to look for for possible leaks. The job was completed with my full satisfaction and I will definitely continue to use Cornett Plumbing for any future plumbing problems.

My wife learned a lot of salad doesn't go down the garbage disposal.  I had to call Cornett out for an emergency since we had friends coming later this evening to stay a couple of days.  Josh came and was very courteous.  He drained all the water (there was over 10 gallons of grossness), checked and cleared the traps and ran a snake.  He checked for leaks and cleaned everything up.  I definitely will use Cornett again and want to thank Josh.

I got referred to Cornett and so far first job...very good.  Once you find an honest group of professionals you stick with them.  I had Edwin come over and he simply found the problem and didn't try to make it more of a bigger project.  It could have since toilet plumbing was too low for the toilet.  But he stayed on the normal protocol of finding where the leak is, applied a couple extra waxy gaskets and voila!!!  Came on time also with his apointment.

Cornett Plumbing came to my rescue! I needed to remove the kitchen stove but, to my surprise, there was no shut off valve. The technician, who's name I believe was Josh, arrived on time, was extremely efficient and very pleasant to boot. Very glad we called Cornett!

I had a leaky sewer cleanout and a recommendation from my general inspector that I hydrojet the sewer line. I had 3 plumbers over in total, one quoted a ridiculous price up front; another wanted $3800 to dig a trench and pull out the pipe. Then Cornett Plumbing came over and took care of everything (no hydrojet was needed in the end) for $325. They are going to be my go-to plumbers from now on.

I was looking for someone to come check out my heater as I had not used it for awhile.
Yelp recommended Cornett Plumbing.  I called and the person answering was very
professional, asked me what day and time and what was the problem with the heater.
My appointment was set between 9-11am.  Wayne called me that morning and was
there early to check my heater. He was very easy to talk to and listened to my problem.
He even covered his shoes after I told him I was concerned about tracking dirt on my carpet.
Wayne gave a through check on the heater and thankfully the heater only needed the
filter changed which Wayne promptly did. The cost for service was very reasonable.
I would highly recommend Cornett for your heating or plumbing needs.

Have used Cornett Plumbing 25+ years.  Residential home and Condo.  Always Excellent service.  Dale is owner, good manager.  This year have had two significant jobs.  Dish Washer and recently Electric Hot Water Heater.  Mike Madsen did both jobs.  Professional, high quality workmanship.  Will always ask for Mike if he is available.  Recommend Cornett.

One word: integrity. Another company in the heating business convinced us that we needed to replace our heating equipment. They told us our unit had been recalled and was a fire hazard. We called Cornett for a second opinion on price. Lo and behold, there had been no such recall and we learned we could avoid an expensive and unnecessary replacement. Dale, the owner, made the service call and is committed to service - and integrity in the way he conducts his business. Cornett is our go-to heating company. Call him for a second opinion when you are looking at a potential big ticket heating expenditure!

We recently had flooding in our garage due to a slab leak. We called Cornett and left a message. It was late at night so we honestly didn't expect them to call us right back although the yelp site does say they're 24/7. I called again the next morning and talked to the secretary who told us someone would come take a look that morning. Sure enough, Joshua came within an hour to take a look.

They're super busy these days so his earliest availability wasn't until two days later which wasn't ideal but fine with us. He said the job would take a day and a half but he was actually able to finish it all within a day! He did an excellent job and was very friendly and professional. We could tell he has a lot of experience and he knew exactly what he was doing. We were so stressed out about the leak but his confidence put us at ease. He even talked to the HOA office for us and confirmed that it would be fully covered.

I highly recommend Cornett for any plumbing needs, especially Joshua!

yeah they were okay.  a little disappointed in the cost.  $95 for a 5 minute stop.  
Okay so here is what happened, we just moved into the new house and the furnace wouldn't come on.  Talked to the old owner and followed directions no luck.  Ends up I couldn't tell that the thermostat had a hidden panel that was hard to open, and impossible to see.  
Doug opened it tuned it on, took the $95, and was gone in under 10 minutes.  I wish I would have checked out the other guy who posted a $50 service charge on his yelp page.  

I guess I will call them next time.

Manal is one of the rudest people I've talked too. Can't believe the owner lets her talk to people the way she does and even answer the company phone. I live at an HOA that uses this company for plumbing so I've had to talk to her a couple of times when it comes to scheduling. The HOA has thought about canceling service with this company due to Manal being so rude to the homeowners, we have all complained to the board about her. The only reason they haven't got rid of them is due to cornett knowing the building so well. She is just rude and unprofessional. Seeing all the other comments about here tells me I am not the only one complaining about her and maybe the owner should figure something out to make her be a better employee instead of defending her.

Had a kitchen sink that wouldn't drain.  
First plumber said it would take $3500 to fix.
OK, had another plumber come out, started to work on it, said he would return Monday, then he decided he couldn't do the job= a no show. (He also left a mess from when he originally came out)
Someone I know recommended Cornett plumbing, so I called them.  Spoke with a nice lady there, explained my issue.  She said their sister company, Calif Drains could come out the same day, so they did. They sent out a guy named Jesse.  My son was at the house and showed Jesse the issue.  Bottom line, Jesse took care of the issue.  He did not leave a mess, (he even cleaned the sink!)  
Any business is only as good as the people who represent/work at that business, and with that said, from the kind lady who answered the phone to the plumber Jesse  = a great customer experience = honesty and professional service....Thank You Cornett Plumbing !

Our condenser was leaking freon and needed to be replaced along with the evaporator. Wayne came out and assessed the repair and cost. He was very thorough and took time to explain the cost estimates,  how long it would take and was flexible with scheduling. Initially, the job was going to take 1 whole day wrapping up around 4pm, but to my surprise, Wayne brought a couple of guys and finished the job before 1pm. They did an awesome job, A/C is working great and I would highly recommend them for this type of work again.

Wall Heater was not working properly so I gave Cornett a call and was told that they could come out after 1pm and that I would get a call to let me know they were on their way. Dale arrived shortly after 1, looked at the heater asked a couple of questions, looked at the flame and discovered that the heater was pushing too much gas thought the burner and running too hot, made an adjustment, tested and checked some more, less than an hour and we have heat again.
Price was very reasonable and service was quick and efficient
Would not heistate to use them again.

Cornett installed my furnace in 2001 and a few water heaters over the past 20+ years. I purchased a new thermostat that required a common 24VAC. They gave me instructions on where to tap into it on the furnace circuit board rather than come out and charge me for a service call. You guys are the greatest!!!

Cornett is our go to place for any heating problems for sure! I've only been a homeowner for a little over the years and there's a lot I've learned and am still learning. The people here are always courteous and honest. Always have a good experience with them and have been able to make appointments pretty quickly. They do their work well.

We've called Cornett for other heating needs before and they've always explained everything calmly even with all our questions. I readily admit that I really don't know much about home maintenance! I just changed my furnace air filter after three years not realizing that we had to change it! This time around we wanted to do a furnace check as we haven't had one in all the time we've moved in. After extensive researching it seemed like it was something that we should be doing every single year.

Cornett came out this time and let us know that since we have a newer heating system, we didn't need any maintenance checks! We only needed to call for service if we found something went wrong! Well that's one thing I don't have to worry about doing every single year then! Thanks Cornett for being honest and telling us the truth about what's actually needed!

Our a/c wasn't cooling very well during this heat wave. Wayne came out right on time and performed an overall inspection of both our compressors. He didn't want to mess with one as the base was rusting out (it is not on an above ground slab). He did not try to sell me a new unit!  Instead, he said let's just watch and wait, as it might last 5 more years. Both compressors needed a bit of Freon as they have not been serviced since we moved in over 10 years ago (and maybe never). Wayne gave me some helpful hints on how to keep the units operating effectively. He did not try to sell me anything, which I really appreciated. Great service. Will definitely call them again.

After falling for one of those discounted advertised annual HVAC checkups for $59.99, that salesman told me my system was not only shot, but dangerous, and offered to replace it all for 15K. I called Cornett, and Wayne came right over and thoroughly checked out my system, tested it and said it was just fine! It is old, but still working and completely safe. Why I wasted my time with HC, USA I don't know. Cornett has always. been reliable, knowledgeable and fair. Wayne is THE BEST! Don't go anywhere else. And the are still a family-owned, local company.

I've been using their services for years and am quite satisfied. But the reason why I give them a 5-star review is this story: my central A/C and heater malfunctioned, and one of their service managers visited my house, inspected it and advised to check with the installer and manufacturer as this (expensive) fix could well be covered under the warranty. Well I did check and it was covered. Cornett Plumbing's honesty and the fact that I kept my original paperwork saved me a lot of money!

Amazing same day service! Even Kimberly( I think) who answered the phone was amazing! I needed a plumber last minute to place an angular stopcock(?) for the toilets.

Didn't have time for replacing the faucets( since it was last minute) but he scheduled somebody in for the next day.

We had an issue with our kitchen sink backing up. Roger was sent out to address the issue. I received a call 20 minutes prior to the 2 hour window  they gave me letting me know they were going to be there early (I wasn't available to attend to them before scheduled time). First time out, he asked very few questions and was in an obvious rush to move onto the next job. Visit took no more than 20 minutes (all he did was snake the pipe), and charged me $225. The invoice states that the work included a 30 day warranty. After a few days we noticed that when the water ran for an extended period of time, it would start backing up again. Contacted Cornell to have them send someone out to investigate further since snaking the pipe didn't ultimately solve the issue.
Roger was sent out again. He arrived with a terrible attitude, was extremely rude and unprofessional. Would not let me speak or explain what was going on. After a few minutes he explained that he was pissed off because he had been waiting around for me, I tried to explain that the doorbell doesn't ring inside, so I couldn't have heard it and that I had no calls from them in attempt to reach me. He said he did call (later found out they called the old number on the account which I updated the first time I contacted them). At the end of the day, this all could have been handle with  SOME professionalism. It was completely uncalled for giving me such a nasty attitude and being so rude. Clearly I wasn't trying to waste his time, it was simply a breakdown in communication. Not even an attempt to have a conversation without storming off and telling me to hire someone else. Unreal.
Also, it would be great if he could be taught how to write legibly on invoices to reduce the need to dispute the legitimacy of  the work he claims he performed. Grow up man.

I don't often find myself saying that I love having a plumber or a heating expert at my house.  Most visits are usually filled with anxiety and skepticism, BUT you won't experience any of that with Cornett plumbing and heating.  I ended up working with Wayne who is a member of the Cornett family at the kick off to a big demo project for our guest bathroom.  Wayne was punctual, courteous, clear with the plan of action and found ways to save us money on the project.  

We needed to replace an old heater, I mean seriously old, and relocate it from a closet on our ground floor to the attic so we could take back some of the space it was taking up in our bathroom.  We needed to have an abatement done since it's an old house and Wayne made sure to set everything up and made it convenient for our schedule. Once we were in the clear with the abatement, Wayne and his team showed up and got to work right away reducting the attic space.  Did I mention they're incredibly careful with making sure they leave your house better than they found it?  All of the guys that came through our house on behalf of Cornett were great.  They were all respectful and just all around nice, good guys.  It's important to feel a sense of confidence when you have strangers in your home.

We hit a snag when we ordered the replacement furnace, but that had everything to do with the new emissions standards set by CA and not by any fault of Wayne or his company.  In fact, because we had an issue with the new furnace, he went above and beyond to make sure we didn't have any surprises budget wise. He was always very clear in his budget updates and always made sure we were happy during and after the project was done.

We plan on working with Wayne and his crew again in the spring when things start to heat up and we're ready to add air-conditioning.  For now, thank you Wayne and the entire Cornett crew for such a positive experience.

I'm not in the habit of referring vendors because I am often disappointed, or my experience is hit and miss.  Dale and his crew are phenomenal. They are all highly trained, friendly and honest.  Pricing is fair and the business is just run with integrity.  If a situation arises where they are running late, they always call me. Or if I am out and about, we are always in communication. Honestly I wish more businesses ran this way. I've used Cornett about 4-5 different times on our old condo and now for both plumbing and heating in our current 1950s home. And I won't hesitate to use them again.

I can't imagine trying to get a warranty call with this company when I can't even get an estimate for a new install.

I'll begin with the receptionist, they lack the art of customer service, when I first called, I mentioned I was looking to get a quote for an AC and Heater installation on a property. They seemed reluctant because I wasn't the home own, although I had full authority to get a quote started. The receptionist was unwilling to help out to proceed with a quote for the property till finally, I had the home owner call them and tell them that I was authorized to get a quote. I mean, I understood their hesitancy with it however, I did not understand their lack of effort to help me out to move it along.

So finally, the appointment was made for the technician to come out and provide us a quote. The technician was on time, nice and respectful. He took about 10 minutes to look around and mentioned, yup, we do these installs all the time. He mentioned we'll get that quote out to us soon.

Well a couple of weeks have gone by and haven't received a quote yet. I called for an update and once again, the receptionist wasn't much help again. A couple more weeks went by and finally, I called again and asked to speak to the owner.

When I spoke to the owner, I mentioned before I left a negative review about the service of your company, I hoping that you'll be able to remediate it and give you guys a fair chance. I mentioned I understand how things call fall through the cracks but please note, this is us try to hire you and give you money for a service your company provides but it's getting me very nervous if I would ever need a warranty call on the installation. He mentioned he'll look into it and get back to me. Well the owner of the company, much like the receptionist and the serviceman, did not get back to me after weeks of waiting.

I always say that customer service is always a reflection of management and this once again proves it. This also seems to be an ongoing issue with this business. I would strongly recommend that you call another business for a quote at the same time, in case they don't get back to you too.

So if customer service isn't a priority, then Cornell might be the company for you.  Again, I didn't have the opportunity to hire then and experience their work but they were way below my level of customer service expectations.

Update: 05/25/2020

Oh, I don't mind you guys choosing not to work with me, but let me know. Don't leave people hanging for a response. Again, I can't imagine trying to get a warranty. I've already installed a new unit and paid someone else $10k.

We live in a 1971 mobile home in Harbor City. Since the home was so old the plumbing was really shot (old and rusted). Gabriel took on the almost impossible challenge of re-piping the whole mobile using the best grade of PEX pipe (which is now used in all the newer mobile homes) with all new brass connections along with a commercial grade water heater.  Before leaving he made sure we were satisfied and asked if we had any questions. Thank you, Gabriel for a professional job well done.

Our furnace would not function last night, and we wanted to get it working before the upcoming holiday.  This morning, I called Cornett and they sent somebody out the same day in the afternoon.  Dale arrived and quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem, then fixed another unrelated issue - all for a reasonable price.  Friendly, professional demeanor.  Will definitely use again and recommend.

Long story short: Roger messed up, Dave saved the day. We had high hopes for this place because of all the reviews then Roger showed up. He came to install a brand new garbage disposal we had purchased. Once he was done and left, my husband noticed the lower bracket was rusted. He immediately contacted Roger. Roger explained it was the one off the old disposal and that we should just wipe off the rust. My husband asked where the new one was that came with the new disposal we had purchased. He said he had thrown it away. He kept insisting it was fine and continued to tell him to wipe off the rust. After much convincing, he finally came back and dropped off the part. Didn't install it. Now why would you throw away a brand new part that a customer had purchased without asking them first? Makes no sense. My husband had to call the office, then Dave had to come out and install the bracket and offered to fix caulking around the sink for us.

I've used Cornett for the past 5 years while I was renting out my house in Torrance, and could always count on them to be quick, efficient and reasonable. Wish I had found them while I was still living there!  Now I'm selling and needed some work to fix up the plumbing.  Roger came, installed new kitchen and shower fixtures.  He saw one part for the tub was the wrong brand, so went to the supply house and brought back the right one.  How many people would do that??  He had to come back the following morning, turned up on time and worked unsupervised to finish the job, then called me to review what he had done.  I will strongly recommend them to the buyers.

-project:
fix or replace ac: water was leaking/dropping from the ceiling.

-making an appt. for estimate:
easy/never had to leave messages when i called during their business hours-someone picked up the phone every time i called.  i had to reschedule and they came out two days after the original appt. date - it was worth the wait because wayne fixed the problem and showed me how to prevent leakage in the future.

-arriving on time:
great. my appointment time was between 10am-12pm and he called at 9:55am to let me know he will arrive in 10 minutes.

-work result:
ac is working great with no water leakage. other companies quoted me $3000-$10,000+ to replace my ac unit and parts. but wayne said if my ac is working fine (giving out cold air) there is no need to replace the unit. after he drained out the water and explained what caused it, he showed me patiently how to keep the pipes clean and drain out the water myself - super easy.

-thank you cornett for keeping our house cool and for your honesty! saved a lot of money by calling here :)

Our 20+ year old heater suddenly stopped working.  Wayne first tried a relatively low cost solution, to no avail.  He explained what parts were failing and the cost to repair the heater versus the cost of a new one.  We decided it was time to replace it and Wayne provided new model options and advice.  After placing the order, he came back a few days later and installed the heater and thermostat, and ran new wires to connect to the thermostat.  Great work, professional, and nice to deal with.

We've relied on Cornett since 2015 to install/service a tankless water heater, change cartridges in shower valves, install faucets, clear sinks and main line clogs and patch leaks.  We've worked with most of the team here.  The leadership of the founding family attracts and retains talent.  Their plumbers have always been reliable and professional.  They have consistently solved our problems.  Their pricing is transparent and fair.  As a result, they will always be our first call.  And speaking of that first call, the kind lady, Manal, who mans the phone lines, is fantastic.  We've also worked with them on the HVAC side.  They are excellent there too.  They've earned and rewarded our trust.  Highly  recommend.

Yesterday the appointment I received was they would come between 11-1 and would call when on their way. My adult son was waiting for them as a favor to me. At 1255 they had not contacted us. I called the company and the lady said Well, we're busy as an excuse. She could not even say they would be there in the next few hours. My son didn't want to wait all day because it's his only day off. Now I'm stuck with a broken toilet still because I have to work all week.

UPDATE: I continue to be amazed at the level of service from Cornett. I had a high pitched squealing sound from my furnace. Dale quickly returned my call and in a professional and courteous manner, determined the issue over the phone. My next furnace service will be with Dale and Cornett. Highly recommended.

Original review:

After doing a fair amount of research (Yahoo Reviews) and speaking with a number of heating professionals, I decided to go with Cornett and I am glad I did.

They were on time, professional, and knowledgeable. They didn't try to sell me a new heater, but found the problem and took care of it.

Highly recommended.

This was the second time Cornett Plumbing has been out to my home. I was sold the first visit and didn't hesitate to give them a call this time. They came out to unclog two bathroom sinks and a tub. Edwin showed up and completed the work in a timely manner and explained what he was doing. The price was excellent! Highly recommend this company!

I had a leak dripping in my wall. I had an afternoon appointment, but their office called  me around 11 saying the plumber could be on his way now. Awesome! Josh came out, assessed the situation and had to take a small piece of my ceiling out. The location of the leaking pipe was not completely evident but when he cut out a small piece of my ceiling the leak was right there.  He patched it and recommended that I wait for the ceiling to dry before calling someone to fix the drywall. He was courteous and professional. After I paid him for the leak in my wall, I remembered my cranky toilet. He looked at it gave the handle some WD-40 and replaced the float ball for free. I am very impressed with this service.

My forced air heater went out and Coronet was out the next day and gave me an estimate on the spot.  Wayne was out two days after that to install a new unit.  He did great work, was nice, cleaned up, and even shared his Spotify playlist with me!  Bonus!

Still on the fence on how my experience went with dealing with Cornett.  If they make any service call it is an automatic charge of $94.50.  No free estimates here.  They charge me $94.50 to crawl underneath the house to tell me the furnace was broken.  Umm, yeah I know the furnace isn't working isn't that the reason I am calling you?  So i'll be fielding other quotes (making sure they are free) to install a new furnace.  Yeah, Cornett, will be in the running for our business but just with our initial dealings I am left with a bitter taste in my mouth.

They installed our water heater. The owner, Dale, came out for inspection/estimate, explained a lot of things about tank vs. tankless, and was very knowledgeable and also friendly. I liked his common-sense approach too. Then Roger came out to install the heater. He was polite, left the garage clean, and was also friendly. Everything went so smoothly, and they've got a new, happy customer!

The only thing is that they can upgrade their phone service. I called in to give my credit card info. With such an easy task in a short time period, I was given a bad impression of rudeness and unfriendliness. You never know what the person is going through... but unprofessional nonetheless.

Outstanding service! Dale efficiently troubleshot my defaulting heater and had it up and running within an hour! Very courteous and professional service. Cornett Plumbing and Heating is my #1 choice.

Our faucet burst in the bathroom sink and water started overflowing the entire bathroom. Mikey from Cornett was the absolute best! He was at our apartment complex helping another unit, and popped over right away to help us. He fixed it immediately and even patched up a hole which was unrelated. We appreciate the service at Cornett and will always be calling them for any plumbing needs!
