Best Businesses in Albuquerque, NM

I have used the on a few occasions. They always provide fair pricing and excellent service. They saved me over $3,000 on a recent job over another proposal. Always get a second opinion! Highly recommended!

Installed a Swamp cooler a few years ago, and just did some plumbing for us in our bathroom, which required cutting thru a wall to access the piping. Excellent work. Great company, professional, fast, very reasonable.  The only one we'll call for work we can't handle ourselves

I managed an apartment community and was referred to Charles. I have nothing but good things to say about Charles. They are reasonable with their prices and get the job done right the first time. I definitely recommend for both HVAC and plumbing needs.

Great service.  Sky came immediately to my office complex to help fix a leak on a hot water heater. The issue was fixed and my tenants were back to doing business in no time. Kindest most trust worthy person to do business with.

I had an ancient boiler for baseboard heat & domestic hot water heater. Both at least 27 years old, really!
Before catastrophic failure, I requested 4 bids from HVAC plumbers. Of the four , 3 submitted bids;  1 suspiciously low & 1 really high & one in the expected range. Only Baker Plumbing sent the actual plumber to do the bid. That is Steven Baker himself. He arrived at the time agreed upon, asked the right questions & got an itemized bid back in 1 day. Work started on time and finished when anticipated. He came in on target with no overcharges. He explained fully & helped getting tech info for custom settings.

Steven Baker plumbing is highly recommended.

Was really stuck in a bind with my AC and Meliano from Bosque came through big time. He showed up quick, was very knowledgeable, and explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it. Very impressed with the service and will definitely recommend this company.

Main line plugged, whole house on quarantine and they came out and fixed it next day. Easy no judgment and pricing was great! Will definitely use again since my kids love flushing anything but toilet paper.

I'm sorry to give a poor review, but I won't try to use Simmons again. It is hit and miss with their service. I had them close down my swamp cooler and start up my furnace- okay job. Next, I had them replaced a garbage disposal, that evening while doing dishes my shoes were flooded with a river of water pouring out of the cabinet below the sink. He returned the next day and, apparently, hadn't screwed a part together. Whatever. Then my toilet wouldn't flush and they came out and replaced the inner workings. Okay, it worked. Then my husband, who is in failing health, physically disabled and when in the middle of an episode has poor thinking skills and he pushed our toilet about a foot. Needless to say it was broken. I called Simmons and they came came out within a reasonable time and I requested they buy a chair level toilet.  Well, while the installer was finishing up and figuring the bill I noticed he had put my old toilet in my trash container and all the cardboard into my recycling container. I was shocked. I asked if the city would pick it up or would I be fined. He replied he didn't think I wanted it on the side of the house. I didn't know this was an option. At 66 years old I have had many toilets replaced and they always hauled it off. Later I called the city 311 line and inquired if I could be fined and the answer was yes because a toilet is too heavy for the truck to pickup plus damaging the container when it probably would have fallen through the bottom of the container. So I have a freakin toilet in my trash container which is too heavy for me to move, no place to put my trash and now trying to get rid of another mess. I will not give Simmons another chance. The only jewel with this company is the office manager, April, who works hard to schedule service quickly and efficiently.

The job they did was fine, but they charged me $155.00 for 20 minutes of drain clean-out. Be Wary!

Tim has unfortunately been out to my house in Edgewood twice now.  Once for a leaky outdoor faucet that had to be replaced and today for the water from my washing machine backing up and onto my floor.  Tim is professional and dependable and does a great job, highly recommend! A++

My auto sprinklers stopped coming on at the time it was scheduled I was told to call deerbrooke he had me up and running in 10 minutes.

Mike M and Bret M of Williams Mechanical came out to install mini splits at my house. Once the installation was done, they decommissioned the old gas wall furnace and air conditioner, which was a huge help under the circumstances. You can imagine the mess, wall board fragments and soot might have gotten everywhere, but these two techs were meticulous. Thanks! (Installed in 2015).

Update 2018: the original mini split system turned out to not heat the house very well, though it cooled fine during the summer. Williams worked with me over the last couple of winters to get the heating system up to spec, under warranty. During very cold snaps they even provided supplementary heaters! Not to get into too many details, but the owners, Chris and Annette, did not give up or leave me in the cold. They continued to diagnose and adjust the system until it was working to spec in winter and summer. As I write this, I am happy, warm and comfortable and satisfied I chose Williams Mechanical for this big upgrade. They turned out to be honest in their dealings with me, and stood behind their warranty, above and beyond. I can't give them more than 5 stars, but if I could I'd give 15 stars. Highly recommend.

Was overcharged for a simple tankless water heater flush. Two men sent for a one person job, one who didn't do any work other than translating for the one who did all the work. Nice enough fellows but poorly equipped. Drain hose was connected without a washer and ended up spraying water all over mechanical room/garage. Call someone else.

Terrible rude never retuned calls. Would not recommend. Didn't clean up after job. Don't hire

Bottom line: They didn't find the leak and it would have been even worse than that if I hadn't looked for a second opinion. I recommend the Albuquerque Leak Detection service instead.

Details: Why did things go poorly? Because the American Leak Detection team never located the leak, despite it being so obvious that a competitor I hired for a second opinion, from Albuquerque Leak Detection found the leak in a few tens of minutes.

Poorly also describes the nature of this interaction because the American Leak Detection team didn't have confidence that they found the leak the first time and charged almost $400 to give me a best guess about where they might look next, requiring an additional fee. The additional fee was estimated at almost $2000 and would have required demolition of concrete flooring in my water heater / furnace closet of the garage so that a closer look could have been taken. Fortunately, I didn't accept this recommendation and I got a second opinion. The leak wasn't anywhere near the approximate region indicated by American Leak Detection. Instead, the leak was discovered by the Albuquerque Leak Detector 40 feet away, in the backyard. The leak was the result of a leaky valve off of a hose faucet.

After locating the leak, I requested that American Leak Detection evaluate their work and consider giving me a refund. They consented, their manager was professional and came to inspect the situation in two additional visits. But that required two additional visits that accomplished nothing when it came to locating the leak, required many phone calls, and after almost a full month of time after the final visit, I received a partial refund, less than half of the charge for the ill-fated visit. Considering all the cost and time, it just wasn't worth it to deal with this company, despite some of the kind and nice people working there. I couldn't trust them to do the thing they advertise to do and it was up to me to stay on top of the situation, even though I was paying and this wasn't my area of expertise. When it comes to finding leaks, good work means almost everything and good intentions mean relatively little if the leak isn't found.

Now, it is likely that this instance was one of the unfortunate cases where things just went wrong. However, because this is a pricey service - no matter who you select - and because of how quickly their competitor was able to demonstrate that they found the leak after American Leak Detection tried for hours, I recommend that you avoid this company and select an alternative. Try the Albuquerque Leak Detector, whose team is led by a chemical engineer who has a well-thought through method for detecting leaks. I found the pricing comparable and respect the Albuquerque Leak Detector team for their professionalism and competence.
