Best A/C Installation in Minneapolis MN

I have had Marvel our twice to 2 different properties.  Performed great inspections and cleaning of sewer line.  They provided a detailed video of the inspection and are very knowledgeable to answer any questions.  Would highly recommend.

I called Ouverson Sewer & Water in a panic yesterday. The woman who answered the phone listened to my story about another company pressuring me to make a fast decision about two, very expensive repairs.

At first, she told me that they are a small family owned business and that they fit their camera scope appointments in when they could,  between other paying appointments.  When I called back a half hour later, she spoke to me woman to woman and said it infuriates her to see people trying to take advantage of women and that she was going to make sure that someone would make it to my house that day (yesterday).

The Ouverson Sewer & Water Technician was at my house for maybe 15 mintues total. Within five minutes he had easily pushed his camera through a toilet paper clog that the first company had showed me an insisted was impassable.

Ouverson Sewer & Water charged me nothing, their technician (Matt) showed me that the water was draining through the pipe with ease and potentially saved me $7500 / $8500 that the other company was trying to fleece.

Ouverson Sewer & Water came highly recommended. I hope that you never need them, but if you do, you can bet they will be honest.

Calling around for a plumber is never fun and usually means something broke and needs to be replaced, which means $$$$$. Pete at PJS Plumbing will be my first call next time and all the time. I called late Friday needing a hot water replacement and got an estimate from Pete which was considerably less than other places. He called around and got me a water heater for the price he said it would be and it was installed almost by the time I woke up on Tuesday. Its funny that I don't even feel like I spent money, but I saved money compared to the 'other guys' prices. I actually rounded off the price and gave Pete more money. I've already recommended him to a friend. Don't change your phone number, I will be calling to use your services again. But hopefully I wont need to :)

Sometimes in life one finds oneself with a broken water pipe on a Sunday night, in the middle of a pandemic, mere hours before a house inspection that could make or break a sale.  Surely, I thought, it would be impossible to find a plumber who would be willing to come on such short notice, who'd have the knowledge and experience to do the job, and who wouldn't charge an absolute fortune.  

But as fate would have it, I found Steve @ Hibernian and my plumbing emergency actually turned out to be a positive experience.  He clearly knew exactly what he was doing and he had the expertise, equipment, and strength to get the job done well.  What's more, he was pleasant, professional, and personable... and he was completely fair in his pricing (even with the circumstances).  

I highly recommend Hibernian Plumbing.

I had an idea of the pricing going into it and it actually ended up being in the low end of the quote. Quick service and friendly tech. He explained everything well.  Everything was resolved with the visit.  I would use them again.

I wish I would have called these guys to begin with. Poor researching on my part. They offer a free consultation/ diagnosis and were about $50.00 cheaper then the other place I called with the $25.00 fee just to come out.

Our plumber Steve came out once, diagnosed the issue and came back two days later to work with our schedule to alleviate the monster slow drain problem-o we've had forever.

Major bathtub drain problem and bathroom sink that he worked wonders on. We can't wait to shower again now that the standing water problem is down the drain literally!

-Excellent and friendly customer service.
-Plumbers call to confirm with an ETA
-2 Hour windows so not waiting all day
-24/7 Service, but after 10:30pm it might be more, but at least they are available.

Steve was fun and took care of the problem quickly and explained what he was doing.

Would certainly recommend to anyone in need.

We had reached out to a different well known plumbing service in the TC area that had someone out to look at our bathtub drain clog. They told us they would need to replace the drum trap and some pipes and wanted to charge us almost $1,000 to fix our clogged drain. They still charged us $90 just to come out and look at it without even attempting to snake the drain.

So! We reached out to this company instead and they sent Grant out to fix it. He was so persistent at fixing a really tough clog, it took him several hours but they still charged the same price and he got the job done for a mere fraction of the other company. I'm so thankful we called these guys and only wish we had reached out to them first!

Eric was out to my home for a leak in the basement.  He arrived right on time even though he was sick!  He located the leak which was coming from my attempt to put in a new sink.(He agreed that I should not quit my day job and go into plumbing!)
Eric was wonderful and professional.  He even chauked areas in the bathroom that I had not done and fixed a tile issue.  He was fast, clean and VERY reasonable.  I took about a dozen cards from him to  pass out to friends.  He is now and forever my plumber.

Fixed the problem and then charged us an outrageous price. Quoted us a price for future work that was way out of line. Found someone else to do the work for $400.00 less.

I contracted Erickson to replace several old nasty furnaces in a rental property. Zach gave me a fair quote, responded quickly to all of my questions wasn't pushy at all regarding making the sale.
Their crew showed up on time on the date promised; we're professional and polite with the tenants and completed the work in the time frame allotted.
Very pleased, defiantly recommend them and would hire them again.

The owner, Matt, did an excellent job. He was very professional, took the time to answer questions, and was very punctual. Both visits he said he would be there at 9AM and both times he was exactly on-time. In the past I have called the bigger guys with flashy vans and been left waiting...and waiting...and eventually the 2 hour window turns into more like three or four hours.

I will be using Matt and his team for all my plumbing needs in the future!

We used Southtown Plumbing twice this summer. The first visit was more of an emergency call to fix two things that needed immediate attention, and the second was to replace something that we had put off for a few years. In both cases, they showed up on time, diagnosed the problems and made the repairs quickly and properly. Todd, the plumber for both visits, was extremely professional, always wore a mask, and cleaned up well after completing the work. They charge time and materials, and were very reasonably priced. They are by far the best plumbing company we've ever used. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

BUYER BEWARE!  I WAS CHARGED $530 TODAY FOR A JOB THAT RUMPCA WOULD HAVE CHARGED $250 FOR ONE YEAR AGO:  PLEASE READ ON:

RUMPCA NO LONGER BILLS CUSTOMERS BASED ON PARTS AND LABOR.  I Just spoke with Mr. Rumpca on the phone and he explained to me We stopped doing that a year ago.  The least they could have done for a long term customer was tell me up front that parts and labor charges are out the window. Mr. Rumpca further explained  We now charge a flat rate.

IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING WHY RUMPCA NOW CHARGES A FLAT RATE here's how it works straight from the mouth of a reputable small business organization: When a small business is paid a flat rate for completing a service, it can make more money by performing more services in a shorter amount of time  Unfortunately that means you, the customer pays more.  In my case a lot more. More than double the price of what I would have paid under Rumpca's prior labor and parts pricing system.

My furnace was not working properly yesterday. So I called Rumpca and they stopped by. They ended up replacing the gas control valve. Under Rumpca's prior practice of charging for parts and labor the total cost would have been $250. Here's how that breaks out:

- LABOR $150: According to Homeguide The average cost for a service call is a minimum charge of between $75 - $200 and that is applied to the first hour of labor.  I'm using $150 which is near the top of Homeguide's range.
The technician was at my house for 1/2 hour - SEE TWO PHOTOS AT BOTTOM. Here's what he did:
1.) He looked in the error code window on the front of the furnace and it indicated that the gas control valve was bad
2.) He removed 2 screws and took off the furnace door
3.) He detached 2 electric quick disconnects from the existing gas valve
4.) He backed off the 2 threaded fasteners and removed the existing gas valve
5.) He rubbed thread sealant onto both threads and attached the new gas valve
6.) He plugged 2 electric quick disconnects into the new gas valve
7. He ran a quick pressure test
8.) He refastened the furnace door with 2 screws.
THAT'S $430 DOLLARS FOR 1/2 HOUR OF LABOR - THAT IS WHAT I PAID UNDER RUMPCAS FLAT RATE PRICING - UNDER THE PRIOR LABOR + PARTS PRICING MY LABOR COST WOULD HAVE BEEN $150.

- PARTS $100:  The gas control valve Rumpca installed is sold on Amazon for $75.  Since Rumpca is a business, they pay about $50 for the valve. Assuming they double that to make a profit on the part, $100 for parts.

- TOTAL COST THAT RUMPCA WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME A YEAR AGO WHEN THEY WERE STILL CHARGING A FAIR PRICE BASED ON PARTS AND LABOR WOULD BE $250 ($150 labor + $100 parts). UNDER THEIR NEW FLAT RATE PRICING I WAS CHARGED $530. That's right!  $530 dollars for 1/2 hour of labor and a part that cost them around $50.

YOU NO LONGER RECEIVE AN ITEMIZED BILL THAT BREAKS OUT PARTS AND LABOR - Just a single line with the final amount.  It's like taking your car to the auto mechanic and paying an expensive bill and you have no idea how much you paid for parts and labor - Since you're not a car mechanic or in this case a heating and a/c technician you have no idea how the costs break out for the parts and the labor - Not exactly good for an informed consumer but great for the small business, in this case Rumpca.

RUMPCA IS NOT THE REPUTABLE COMPANY THAT I'VE BEEN DOING BUSINESS WITH ALL THESE YEARS.  In my opinion their new business model is to gouge as much as they can from the customer with flat rate pricing and manage their Google reviews so they look good (That night after they preformed the service they solicited a Google review from me via text message just like shady online companies do).

I will be filing a formal complaint with the Minnesota Attorney General and the BBB - Rumpca should have notified me up front that I was no longer being charged for parts and labor as has been the case for many years.  Morally suspect to say the least when a company changes their terms of service without notifying an existing customer.  I will also post my review on all other online review sites so others know the score.

We hired Boys Electric to pull an electrical permit and complete the outside fixture electrical work for a siding project we were contracted to complete. Not only did they never pull the permit, but they lost our appointment and were only able to offer us a reschedule a week and a half out! Furthermore, when they finally did show up to the property to complete the work, they took a look and decided that the work had already been done and NEVER contacted me to let me know. The home owner ended up having to complete their own electrical work and we had to get them to pull their own permit. Lost appointments and lack of communication are standard for this company.

Very dissatisfied with the timeframe I was given. I was told between 10:00 and 12:00. I even called that morning to confirm and was told someone would be out to my house between 10 and 12. Received a text at 11:50 that Rick was on his way. 40 minutes later still no Rick. I called and was told he's on his way. Rick arrived at 1:15. Dressed professionally and polite. Rick did a very good job explaining what he did and the results of our furnace. Answered all my questions with great detail and I felt he was efficient. I just wish they could give a better timeline. I missed a half of a day of work waiting.

I see Sabre vans coming in and out of my neighborhood all of the time. So we thought we would use them when we wanted to get estimates on heating our garage.
We called three times. Left messages all three times. No call backs. Called one more time and we got an appointment for today at 12pm. Guess what? He is a no show. Sigh. Please do not use them. Find someone else. They are not responsive and have poor customer service.

Beware! We had a plumbing emergency and this company's response was horrible! The sewer was backing up and the owner came right out. He talked a great game and said it would be taken care of as soon as he had a check in hand. $6000 later, the pipes still aren't cleaned out, their mess in our house wasn't cleaned up, they damaged the outside of our house, made a mess of our yard and the neighbor's yard. We can't get them to come back! The only response is: we thought we would do it in the Spring. In the meantime the neighbor is consulting an attorney. What a mess!

I scheduled an installation with them and the lady told me someone would call the day before with a timeframe. I got nervous when I didn't receive a call. The day of I called to get a window and they had no record of my appointment and they weren't concerned or apologetic. Would not use them, that's just unprofessional.

Needed some plumbing work done on the shower and had no water in the entire house due to no shutoff valve. I called SNS in the morning and was told I would be contacted by someone. Three hours later I called back after not hearing from anyone and was told someone would call me in fifteen minutes. Two hours later I called for the third time and said I still had not heard back. I was told that it would be mentioned I had called three times and someone would get back to me. No one ever called to see if they could help. I had read good reviews on this company but did not have a good experience on my first attempt.
