Best Businesses in Indiana

I called this company after having assurance plumbing out and they didn't know what they were doing.  Ryan and Gage responded quickly and reassured me that they would come out and give a price and get the work done immediately to get hot water back in my house.  They came gave a good price l, when and picked up the tankless hot water heater and installed the next day.  They were not pushy on what to do and made recommendations to get a water softener but again not pushy.  They will be coming out to install my water softener here in the next week.

My bathtub stopper has been not fully keeping water in the bathtub for quite some time. Mac's plumbing responded within 12 hours and had the issue fixed within 48 hours. Incredibly responsive and very fair with pricing.

Called Blake after I noticed my slide room got wet during a rainstorm.  Was in a panic because we are full time, and my husband was out of town working.  Blake got Brittany out right away the same day.  She was very courteous and pleasant.  Blake followed up to make sure I was happy with the repairs.  Very honest people, highly recommend.

Quentin did a hot water replacement in a rental I own, and replaced a couple toilets. The floor under one was rotten from leaks and he did a good job of repair, re-floor (vinyl sheet flooring) and replacing toilets.  All done quickly and coordinated from out of state.  Highly recommend.

King's employees were professional and addressed my concerns and questions.  I've used them before for a bathroom issue and water heater installation.  These guys are fair and know what they are doing.  Quite satisfied with the work they have done for me.

Called for Mark Plecker, at the advice of a friend, at 9:30 am on Monday morning to address an emergency (self induced) bathroom shower leak (Folks, be careful trying to change your leaking shower cartridges if you have calcium build up - you may just damage your copper pipes, as we did).  Monday AM our water had been off for 12 hours, and I was desperate.  I had called a 24/7 plumbing company late Sunday night, which gave me an estimate of $1700!   Mr. Plecker rearranged his schedule Monday and was at our home promptly for our 1pm appt.  He had estimated between 1.5 to 3 hours of labor and was done, woohoo!, in 1.5 hours (which included his drive time).  At the end of the job he took time to discuss next steps and gave great advice on other plumbing concerns we have.  I could not recommend him more, especially give the unscrupulous competition he has and his amazingly fair price, which was about 90% less than $1700.  I guess when you are honest, your name is over the door, and you do a GREAT job, you don't have to advertise everywhere like the other plumbing companies...  Thanks Mark!

I bought a new home and during the inspection there was a finding of mold in the crawlspace and the attic. There was some initial miscommunication on the dates they were coming out. However, once that was figured out the team was on time and got the mold knocked out quickly. Dan the mold dog was an absolute professional and him and his team members saved me a lot of worry.

Called Sam for a garbage disposal replacement. Cost was reasonable. On time, professional and outstanding job. Will definitely call again when the need arises.

On a Sunday our sewer backed up into the basement. I called one of the other plumbing companies that couldn't make it to help until Monday evening.  When they arrived it was a disaster!  After 2 days the other company decided our mainline was clogged and we needed a clean out.  They dug up the entire front yard only to find that the mainline was in the rear of the house!!!  Then didn't call, and wouldn't answer our calls for 2 full days.  They were so fired!  Called Peterman and they corrected the work done by the other guys and in a very short time we had our sewer up and running.  So, lesson learned.  Peterman was not the cheapest but they are the best.  Will be doing business with them again.  Thank you for great service.

My elderly mother in Muncie had her air conditioning quit working and even though I explained how she is an elderly heart patient and needs air, not one of the companies I called, (including ones that serviced her prior) could find time to see her. Some were 3 weeks out. Summers got to her as soon as they could and not only that, but made it quick and painless!
We knew she needed a new unit and they really tried to accommodate us. The fact they were willing to help when no one else would and understood the gravity of the situation meant everything! Justin came out promptly and the day of install they sent two great guys! Thank you Kenny Cook and Matt! They were both amazing and worked tirelessly through a few bouts of pouring rain and completely replacing everything perfectly and better than it had ever been. They were courteous and kind and cleaned up every speck! Our new unit is surprisingly quiet, I can't believe how wonderful it feels and sounds! Thank you again Kenny and Matt-you guys are the best! If you try these guys, I promise you won't be sorry!

We agreed with Thomas Wright and Comfort Heating to replace both our upstairs and downstairs units in our historic home.

Cliff notes:
1. Poor workmanship/attention to detail caused a clogged drain (previously not an issue)
2. Said clog caused waterfall down inside of our walls
3. Water caused more than $10,000 worth of damage
4. Misleading, at best, about turning over damage claim to insurance - Only turned it over to insurance (2 wks later) after I got estimates
5. After insurance settled, got invoice for full amount
6. Threatened legal action -  forcing us to pay for their incompetence

Details:
Comfort's caused a clog in our drain line (which had never been an issue) and caused more than $10,000 worth of damage.

After a visit to the attic and saying we had an existing small leak, the tech actually saw the damage inside of our master bathroom. That led to a 35-minute phone call (outside and out of ear-shot) to his supervisor.

We agreed for them to come fix the issue. The fix was to change the angle of the unit so that the condensation hit the drain pain. The pan was never an issue.

The next day, another waterfall into an adjacent hallway. The fix was a shim of wood and didn't do anything but cause more damage. We installed new drain lines and pan because the clog (which was the actual issue they caused) wasn't likely to be found in the existing line - roughly a week later.

So it took nearly 10 days to actually get the installation correct, with more than $10,000 in damage - which, unbeknownst at the time HAD NOT been turned over to insurance. Thomas told me after the fix that they'd turn it over - that was not true. What happened was that Thomas called Service Master Crossroads Restoration as opposed to starting an insurance claim.

I didn't trust them, so I called a reputable restoration company to provide an independent estimate.

Both restoration companies came the same day. Service Master wanted to start right away (wasn't going to allow that w/o the insurance process) without providing an estimate (still don't have it) - which they couldn't because the tech had no equipment...Thomas told SM we had a small leak (per SM owner). Thomas had photos of the damage.

ONLY AFTER I sent Thomas the estimate from the independent restoration company did he contact his insurance - the liability adjuster told me when he was contacted.

As soon as the insurance check was issued, Thomas sent an invoice for the full amount. I immediately called and expressed that he was expecting us to take on a disproportionate liability - we'd pay for the equipment and the lower level installation, but that we needed to come to a different number for the upper level.

Thomas said he had to chew on it and would call me early the following week, citing the fact he needed to pay his guys - the same guys whose poor workmanship isolated my family to half of our home, damaged our walls, trim, carpet and ceilings - for nearly six weeks at that point.

He did not call or email and only after I reached out did he communicate with me via email.

He replied that he would settle for an amount that was ~ 10 percent less than the full invoice - which covered all of the labor and equipment and took no personal responsibility. I countered with an amount that covered equipment and some labor - which he flatly refused. This was clearly not a two-way discussion.

He followed up with an email saying he was under no obligation to offer me anything, so pay now or get ready for legal action.

These are other examples of unprofessional and unorganized behavior:

1. Didn't turn main gas line back on
2. Left cellar door open with light on after the job was finished
3. Sloppy foam insulation on exterior (it's a big clump)
4. Left gaps bt air handler and box without tape in the attic (at least 2 large gaps)
5. Left cut wire pieces on bedroom floor (17-month-old in house)
6. Left electrical panel door open
7. Left dirt and dirty hand prints on walls (interior & exterior, just had our house repainted a month prior)
8. Workers did not use shoe covers/those who did wore them both inside and out, tracking mud, dirt, etc. around our on our hardwood floors
9. Continuously slammed doors (custom, wooden doors) - and cracked the window doing so
10. Smoked on our front porch
11. Didn't connect duct to 2nd bedroom closet (and lied when asked)
12. Did not clean up

Benjamin Franklin worked on my family's hot water heater on Friday July 3. That day we had smelled gas in the laundry room (where the hot water heater is located) but assumed it was because of the work done just hours before. We had people over Friday night and we kept most windows and doors open and we didn't seem to have a problem. Flash forward to the next day, the 4th, my family and I were gone most of the day for festivities while we left our dog home. When we got home, a gas odor had taken over the whole house and my dog was acting lethargic and even fell off the back of our couch. At that point we decided to hook up a portable carbon monoxide detector and about 10 minutes later, it was reading carbon monoxide levels of over 200. When we called Benjamin Franklin they expressed that they couldn't do anything until TUESDAY. That's 4 days. We had to have the gas company shut off all of our gas and we had to stay at hotel for the night, with the chance of having to do it again tonight. I am appalled by the lack of concern Benjamin Franklin has for the health of my family and I would suggest not doing business with them. We had no gas odor and no problems (except the hot water heater being out) before Benjamin Franklin got involved. And when they risked the health of my family and I, the best they could do was wait 4 days. 0/5 stars for almost killing my dog and risking mine and my family's health.

I chose Jim Russell as the owner is a family friend and I am extremely disappointed in what I received. I had a leak that was due to a loose nut - my fault for not checking that. I was forced to work around their schedule because they would not come out at a time that was convenient for me. The technician was fairly helpful and had the problem resolved and was in and out of my house in 4 minutes. No parts, only labor. I was charged $180 for the 4 minutes they were in my house. A rate of $2700/hour. While I would have understood a rate of $60-$120 (there are costs for scheduling, training, trucks, gas, etc) $180 is an insane rate to charge, especially for a company that sells themselves on the money they have saved their clients.

I will be using a different plumber going forward that has upfront and reasonable rates with good customer service, unlike Jim Russell.
