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 used Adam Mechanical for heating and air conditioning service for several years.  They are technically competent in heating and air conditioning, but not for plumbing.  We stopped using them because their pricing scheme is a rip-off.  We were greatly overcharged on a couple of occasions and when I protested, they refused to reconsider.  They price according to the type of task, also called flat rate pricing, regardless of how easy or difficult the task may be in a particular customer's system.  The alternative scheme is called time & materials pricing under which a customer is charged for the exact amount of labor and materials the specific customer's problem actually entailed.
In one instance, a task took the Adam technician 45 minutes to replace a $100 part in my heating system, but they charged me over $1,000!  (It was an emergency, so I didn't have time to get estimates from other contractors.)  Under time & materials pricing, the job would have cost maybe $500.
A flat rate pricing scheme enables a contractor to give the customer a fixed price immediately, but that's the only benefit -- which is not much of a benefit when the fixed price is double what a task should cost.
Bottom line: DO NOT USE ADAM MECHANICAL, or any other contractor that uses flat rate pricing, for that matter.

Just finished a big gas line installation for us (adding a garage heater, converting an electric dryer set-up to gas, and doing a prep to convert our old electric HW heater to gas in the near future)--the crew was prompt, worked very quickly and cleaned up after they were done. Very little disruption to our household. Very pleased with their pricing and their willingness to break a complicated job into tiers to make things more affordable. Thanks!

The most important things to me when selecting a service provider are that I have confidence in their expertise and that I have complete trust in their recommendation about what needs to be done. I don't want to be wondering whether they are, for example, telling me I need a new water heater or HVAC system when in truth the existing one can easily be repaired for a much lower charge. Veteran Plumbing and Heating is that company. They won't sell you something you don't need, and they have the expertise to get it done right the first time. They are also Veteran owned and operated, and I like to support our brave soldiers who put their lives on the line for us. Chris Tucker was the technician I dealt with, and he was extremely knowledgeable, patiently explained how my HVAC system worked, did not talk down to me as a woman, arrived on time, and was respectful of my home (wore paper booties over his shoes). I now have a new HVAC and plumbing person, and could not be happier.

We have used Russell Brothers for years. Occasionally we have tried other plumbing services (Horizon), but we keep coming back to Russell Brothers. If you want professional plumbers who know how to service new and old homes. Then Russell Bothers fits the bill.

I wouldn't recommend them. Expensive and rude. First job they did, they were super nice and did decent work. Second job, is a whole different story. If you have no other option but work with them, at least ask to talk with Dave.

Did a rapid and solid job on installing our residential HVAC replacement, and was responsive to questions after the installation was complete. They were not the cheapest, but I selected them because I was willing to pay more for a Trane system installed by a certified operator.
Replacement of our existing system took one day. when the new system glitched they came out in a few hours to put it right.

I have NEVER hired anyone to do any work without seeing good reviews from at least two different sources. Until today, out of desperation, when I called this company and Eric (bless him) was able to come the same day to install a dishwasher that the scheduled installer left sitting in the middle of my kitchen (a rant for another day). My 150-yr old home has been in a state of renovation for 10 years so I've had more service people than I can remember. I tend to stick with good people when I find them because it takes up lots of time doing research first.

Eric told me when he could come, called 30 minutes out and showed up on time.  He and helper introduced themselves, worked quickly and efficiently, and I paid a fair price (a little less than the price of the installer who didn't do the job and slightly more than the Amazon installation that I couldn't get scheduled soon enough). He gives a warranty for his work, communicates well and is pleasant and professional.  My only suggestion (tiny complaint) is that it took over an hour to get an unexpected part. I realize that the small guys can't always have a well-stocked truck like bigger businesses, but I wonder if paying slightly more for small parts at the local hardware store might be worth it given how much a business owner's time is worth?  Just a thought. Overall, I highly recommend them. I'm happy to support a new small businessman in my neighborhood!

Needed water heater replaced due to a leak at bottom seam. Put in request to Home Advisor. Mike answered right away, and after obtaining details of work needed,  he  provided a very fair estimate.

Mike arrived the next morning and completed the job in a professional manner.

His price for the completed job matched the estimate which was much appreciated.

I've hired plumbers in the past that have ripped me off - but Anthony Sweeney Plumbing is everything you would hope to find in a plumber - honest, good work and fairly priced.  I had them out to do a faucet installation in my kitchen (which I bought at a large box store), and also handled some small plumbing repairs on our master bedroom bath, both of the faucets and the shower.  Less than $200 for the whole job.  Also got some advice on doing some of my own small repairs / maintenance stuff (DON'T DO IT!!!)...  nah, really some good hints!  I'm having them out again soon, to install a gas line to our new gas range, and hook up a new dishwasher.
Good people.  Call them if you live in eastern Montgomery county.

Dan was one of a few plumbers I contacted for quotes to have gas valves installed for the dryer, stove, and to replace the connection to the hose out in front of my parent's home. He came out quickly to assess the work, provided me with an estimate via email, and we scheduled quickly. On the day of service he was on time and I was pleased with his professionalism, the work he completed, and his patience answering the 1000 questions I had for him. I have no complaints.

I have dealt with Mr. Bennett on three occasions now. Each time he has been very professional, friendly, and knowledgable. His rates are also very reasonable. I would not hesitate to call him again.

Just to update you here are the images of the 50000 in damage Allied Energy Experts caused in our home from improper installation which caused catastrophic mold and ice damming-water pouring through our ceilings.  Seriously, this company has no business insulting anyone's home.  The furnace and air conditioner has been repaired numerous times and we have yet to pass any inspections...
