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!

These guys are rock stars! i would trust these guys 1000%. I had a problem nobody else could diagnose but called and Don Meir himself came out to my home and use his expertise found the issue, had he not found it i would still be in a fix. I have called them for big and small and not ONCE were they late unprofessional or tried to sell me something i did not need.

I PROMISE you call Don and his company if you need a plumber

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.

I've been using Russell Bros for almost 15 years and thoroughly recommend them! They are punctual, honest, reliable and do a great job! Carol in the office is very helpful with scheduling and will call you to remind you of your appointment, you can also get reminders for annual services etc. The plumbers are very knowledgeable, helpful and tidy workmen. You couldn't ask for more! Very happy, long term customer!

Fast and friendly service. I have used them several times now for plumbing issues from toilets to bath tubs. They are always available same day within a few hours and can provide a quick fix. They dont mind if you want to watch and have them explain things or if you want nothing to do with it. Very good with dogs too!

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!

I've utilized Mike and County Line Plumbing for the last 4 years. He is always very responsive, and comes out quickly if there is an emergency. He is always friendly, and performs high quality work at a fair price.

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.

I saw the good reviews and scheduled an appointment *2 weeks* in advance on my day off. He never showed. When I finally called, his excuse was that he had an emgergency job that morning. That's fine but what happened to calling your customers and letting them know your running late or not showing up at all. This guy has no office, he answers on his cell phone and appointments mean nothing.  AVOID.

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.

Avoid using allied at all costs.  The install at the beginning could be good but the system doesnt last at all.  Within 8 years, the evaporator coil had to be replaced two times already.  The evpaporator coil was replaced in may 2021 and it cost 1900 to repair (labor only).  Not only was it expensive for the repair, i waited over 4 weeks to get it repaired and they never return my calls to let me know status. The same repair 5 years ago was only 500 dollars.  I tried to get an itemized breakdown of 1900 but they dont return calls once they got my money.  The next time my unit breaks, i plan to replace the whole thing with someone else so i dont ever have to use them again.  I would give zero stars if i could.
