Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

We had Ryan from RJD install our dishwasher and I couldn't be happier with the install. He seems to be a bit of a perfectionist and that is exactly what you want in a contractor.

We contracted with Adam Mechanical to install a high-velocity AC system in our 3-story Dutch colonial home. After spending a miserable first summer there last year with no AC, we decided to call up Adam Mechanical as they came highly recommended by people we know and have excellent reviews. Our house was built in 1923 and has radiant heat, so there was no existing duct-work. Perry visited our home and determined that high-velocity would be the best option for us, walked us through where the air handler, unit, and ducts/vents would likely be installed (he explained that there could be some slight modifications to this as the team got in and found other solutions that would be more efficient) and formulated a quote and scope of work for us. We felt that the quote was reasonable, and liked that they were able to start the following week and would only need 4 days.

Perry, as well as the team who did the work, were all very professional, arriving on time each day, and made a point to keep our home clean by using floor protectors and shoe covers.  The work took 4.5 days, so very close to the quoted 4 days, and they were done by midday on day 5. The air handler was installed in the unfinished part of our 3rd floor (attic space); we explained that we would like to finish this area someday, so they were able to keep the air handler and tubing around the perimeter so we will still have this option. The majority of the duct tubes were able to be run through our closets (they are small and really don't take up closet space) with only one area of tubes being visible in our guest room (will be easy to cover with a soffit though). AM's attention to detail & aesthetic was great; along with keeping the duct tubes hidden in closets for the most part, the tube that runs from the attic air handler to the outdoor unit was nicely covered and made to resemble a gutter.

We've only had to turn on our air once so far this year, but it seems to be functioning as expected and cooled down our house in a short time.  I would definitely recommend AM to anyone in the area who is looking to install AC, especially in an old home!

We had a backup in our sewer line, and another plumbing company was pushing us to replace our whole line, which would have cost lots of money and torn up our whole yard. We got referred to PS, and Don came over. He had his guys video the line, and they found that while the line needed to be cleaned out, it was intact and didn't need to be replaced. He recommended that we install a cleanout and do a thorough cleaning of the line. We went ahead, and we also decided to ask him to change out some old leaky plumbing. They did all of the work, at the price advertised, didn't try to upsell or nickel and dime us on minor things. Don, as well as the crew that came over with him, were all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. I strongly recommend this company for any work you need done.

This was the best experience I've ever had with someone coming to where I live for emergency service.  On Saturday evening I noticed a leak coming through the 14 foot high ceiling in the kitchen of my condo. I couldn't find the source but thought it was coming in from outdoors because it had rained a lot that day. Next day it was still dripping and I didn't thing I could get anyone between it being Sunday and coronavirus.  I called, got a very friendly person answering who said he could have someone there in an hour.  An hour later, Chris the plumber drove up and we did some looking around where I thought the problem was coming from. Couldn't find anything wrong so he asked about a source I hadn't considered, an upstairs neighbor's bathroom which I didn't think was over the kitchen.  We went up and sure enough she said she had a leak in the pipe from her toilet.  He fixed it and came down to wait to make sure it was the cause. While we waited about a half hour he answered a lot of questions about central air that I had. He knew an impressive amount  about the subject. When he was ready to leave I asked how much I owed him. Nothing because it wasn't a big job.  Whooo, Came on a Sunday at dinnertime, did great detective work to find the problem, filled us in on a lot of information about central air, and didn't want money for it????  Unreal.  I gave him money anyway but I come from New York and never heard of such a thing. I'm switching my central air maintenance contract to Veteran. It was the most impressive house call I've ever had. Thanks!!

I've used Russell Brothers for several years, but this year in getting my home ready to sell, there was an extremely difficult problem with a main drain. Dennis spent hours assessing my situation (the others I'd contacted for pricing had not), and he came up with a solution that worked perfectly. He and Bob Meulenberg and all the other workers who were here for the weeks it took to complete were conscientious, clean, and kind;  my job was priority and they were here every day until it was completed. Everything is working properly, and I have a brand new bathroom, and they were able to save my beautiful fireplace. I highly recommend them.

called in a complete panic. My sewer line backed up so I needed someone urgently. Within an hour of my frantic call, Mike & Joe were at my house. They gave me up-front pricing. Snaked out the entire line and the house. Even helped me move some things put of the way. They were personable,  experienced, professional, quick and courteous. And to add to this, they both took the necessary COVID precautions! For a terrible experience,  this was the best out-come and experience I could have hoped for. I absolutely recommend Archer Plumbing!

I hired Queen B because just like myself I'm a woman and I go by Queen G. It's a bit biased but I wanted to support the woman's business in HVAC. I went through several companies before making a decision. They responded through chat and after talking for awhile I called her office. I spoke directly to the Queen and we set up a date and time. The day before my scheduled appointment she called me from her cellphone. She wanted to know if I had any earlier availability and I said absolutely. She told me her technician's would be out between 1-3. Two gentlemen should up and got to working on my ac unit. After a few hours they knew what the problem was they told me how much it'll cost. I gave him they ok, they put the part on and got it up and running. I thanked them for coming out sooner then expected because it's suppose to reach close to 100 degrees this weekend and I didn't want to be roasting in a hot house without ac. Thanks Queen B

Excellent work....highly skilled..on time..explained all work procedures..would call again if needed..We highly recommended this service.

I needed to repair plumbing issues in preparation for the sale of my house. Mike was professional, returned phone calls, arrived on time, and did a great job. He completed all work on time and within estimate. He provided good advice on quality of fixtures that I needed to buy. Overall I'm very pleased and recommend him to my friends in the area.

I called early in AM for broken hot water heater.  He came to check out old heater then called back with estimate and had job totally completed by 1PM!!! Price was fair and workmanship fabulous.  All staff was pleasant and made sure not to leave a mess.
I have always used them and continually happy with all jobs.

Thought I had a venting problem in my drain pipes for my washing machine. wayer would back up in the washer after the final spin cycle. Dan removed the old pvc and installed new pipe with a secondary vent and check valve. When he found that the washer still wasn't draining properly he surmised that there was a partial blockage in the drain line.
He removed the clean out trap cover and removed the clog. Unfortunately waste water got on our finished basement carpet when the blockage was removed. I realize these things happen and happy that the problem is resolved. Thanks Dan for a great job.

I've had a bad experience with Bennett's Plumbing. I hired Richie Bennett to do a digging job in order to run a drain line from the street onto a lot which I own. I gave him a $1400 check which he cashed the same day. The work is not done.  It was never started.

  The job had a deadline.  The contract  states a completion date of May 25th 2011. It was imperitive that the job be completed before the city poured the new sidewalk. It is now a few weeks past the deadline. The sidewalks have been poured, therefore it is too late to do the work with out destroying the new cement.  

 I believe the plumber began with good intention but for whatever reason, the job was never done and Bennett has communicated nothing to me. I briefly spoke to his wife who said he intended to return my money.  He does not return my phone calls and he still has not returned my money although he did know where to pick it up.

P.S. I found this business at 2207 E. Boston St., not at the address displayed on the yelp listing.

SCAM ARTISTS!!       They come to your door and try to make you believe they are working with NJ State.   Telling you that the state is going to pay for EVERYTHING through energy rebates because they want you to be more energy efficient!  I am a rather skeptical person so I had a hard time believing that I was going to get a new A/C, Furnace,Insulation, water heater, etc without paying ANYTHING from my pocket.  I went as far as to say I am not going to pay ANYONE a DIME for ANYTHING because I can do all of this work myself!  The agent assured me that was the case!! Hmmmmmm, okay, I'll bite.   He made an appointment for another guy to come and explain the program, etc.  The Second guy went through about 10 minutes of his sales pitch and then said the government would pay up to $5000 for the project.  I said, You told me I would not be paying anything out of my pocket, how could all of this be done for only $5000?      He replied, Oh no, the project will cost $16,000 and the state will pay up to $5000. I asked who pays the other 11K?  He said, you can pay it off monthly with no interest!!!   AHHHHHHH there's the scam!    I was immediately annoyed and asked what part of I will not be paying ANYTHING out of my pocket for labor, etc did you not understand?   HE replied,  oh but you will be saving on your energy bills so you will make the money back.  Oh really?  then why wouldn't I just do the work myself and save $11,000?  He saidbut you can pay it off monthly for no interest and you will save money on your energy bill??

Do not let these overpriced scam artists trick you.   They make you believe they are somehow affiliated with the state government and they are the only ones able to get you the rebates.  NOT TRUE!!  ANYONE can qualify as long as you have qualified  high efficiency equipment installed.   There are plenty of companies that will replace AC, Furnace and Hot water heater for less than HALF of what they wanted to charge!!
