Best Heater Installation in Minneapolis MN

Great company to work with. The electrician, Joe M., arrived right at the scheduled time. He quickly assessed the job I had in mind and recommended the best solution. I am extremely happy with the results and the cost of the job. I would definitely trust Joe and Erickson Plumbing, Heating, Air and Electrical of Blaine to do work for me again.

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.

We had a clogged main drain. Our Home service connected us with a company who was a no show. John's was called and not only did they come right away, they were 15 min EARLY!!!  Our technician Nick was very professional!!  I would highly recommend them!!!!

Our Kitchen faucet recently broke and needed to be replaced.  After trying to remove it myself, I couldn't get it out so I called another plumbing company to come out and do the work.  Not only did they try to up-sell several different fixes / services, but their estimate was well over $1,000 because they insisted that the valves needed to be replaced before they would change out the faucet.

I called BP Mechanical after telling the other company to get out and Kirsten in the office worked their schedule out so that they could be there the same day.  Both Pat and Kirsten were very friendly and easy to work with and had the job done in less than an hour!   Their rate was 1/10th of what the other company quoted me for the same amount of work.  Knowing that someone like them is in the same city as I am and VERY reliable, I will never call anyone else for any plumbing needs going forward.

Feeling dirty.  I've used them in the past.  Was happy and remembered their advice of preventive maintenance.  Makes sense as it is something you do with cars, etc. Starting to get that occasional funky smell in the basement so I make the call.

I also come prepared with my my $50 off coupon and a 30% off coupon for a 2nd line service as a buck in my household goes a little further now then it has in the past.    

So I get my bill (you never see a price list) and am told that I'm being given 50% off of the cost for the 2nd line so he isn't using any of my coupons as he is saving me money in the long run.  Hmmmmm.  

So I pay and he leaves and I sit there for a bit, getting kinda pissed so I call.  I speak to a manager and he explains to me the same pricing the guy gave me but in the long run, I'm still feeling like I got bad deal because in the end, you don't really know the problem or if the pricing just happens to be for you and if you are getting charged for services you don't need.    

So I ask, is it wrong that I want to see a menu of pricing for services?

The guy says things have been slow but as someone who is working a pt job looking for FT work, I consider that slow on my end too (at least the $ coming into my wallet).

So in the end, I still want to recommend Roto Rooter (who else is there?) but come on, show me some pricing.  Hell, ya got yourselves a fancy website, FB page, blog, Google +, YouTube and a Twitter account.  How about a simple page that tells me up front  what you charge?  You can put your legalese spin on that in case you need to charge more if the job is a mess.

Sump pump failed. Called them about 8:30 in the morning, had a new sump pump installed before lunch. How fantastic is that.

I have been using PJS Plumbing for years.  They have done multiple jobs at a couple of different locations and we have been thrilled with the work each time.  Pete the owner is very knowledgeable, honest, prompt and professional.  You get all of that and PJS is very reasonably priced.  In fact, I think they should charge more.  Whether you're doing a massive renovation and simply don't have the time to install some new faucets, I would highly recommend PJS.

Charlie and Phil are great. A friend recommended them. They're responsive, keep you informed about their work and what's going on with your home's pipes. I moved a washer upstairs to a new area and they installed quality plumbing...and found and replaced some old pipes that could have caused thousands in home repairs had they gone unchecked.
I will use these guys for my bathroom remodel next.

I called Chris as well as 6 other plumbers on a Sunday and he was the only one who called me back within 10 minutes.   He came within 90 minutes and was extremely thorough.  I felt his prices were fair, especially given it was a weekend.  I would highly recommend him for any plumbing job you need.

Had a drain clog that could not be accessed to run clean-out.  4 feet of metal pipe was removed and replaced with pvc pipe with clean-out.  Line was then cleared.  In addition to the base charge of $169 for drain clear and 50 feet clean-out, the placement of 4 feet of pvc with clean-out access cost an additional $300, for a total of $469.  A non-discount plumbing company has stated this should not have been in excess of $250.  Total job was accomplished within one hour, on-site.

We had Bruckmueller Plumbing install the water line on our new refrigerator, and install our new dishwasher and garbage disposal. He was very professional and did an excellent job!

My son has just moved to an older unit in St. Paul.  He is a student at Hamline University so I am here from California helping him move in and get settled.

We arrived to find that the bathroom needed way more work than my son described in his short visit before moving in.  When we turned on the shower the faucets almost came out of the wall due to a cheaply done make over and old old plumbing.  There isn't enough water pressure to bathe an ant.  The situation was so bad that we had to say in a hotel one night so we could both take a shower and clean up after two days of moving.

This morning Erik Brue came from Plumb Right to help assess the situation and make realistic recommendations for repairs an or replacements.  

Erik went above and beyond.  he gave me two separate estimates to present to the landlord.  One to try and repair and one to realistically redo the plumbing and shower area.  His estimates were extremely reasonable and he was able to even show me photos of other installs he has done which look fabulous.  He also mentioned that this work could be completed by several installers on one day which is a huge plus since my son is a full-time student with limited free time.

I feel much calmer now and am equipped with the proper information to share with the landlord to get my son's bath room livable before I return to  California to thaw out.

It is very intimidating being in anew area and having to rely on recommendations from unknown sources.  Home Advisor recommended Erik and Plumb Right and really saved the day!!!!!

Finally had enough of the shower turning into a bath mid-way through washing my hair, and decided that something must be done. One week and a failed experiment in DIY plumbing later, I decided that something ELSE must be done, and that it would involve a professional.

Google brought me to Augie. His website was informative and, given the option, I'll usually go with a local small business. However, when I called, the recording on the other end of the line told me he was away fulfilling his obligation with the National Guard. I certainly couldn't fault him for that, but the clog had only been getting worse, and this could not wait. Dejectedly, I called a big chain drain-cleaning company, navigated the phone tree, and got put on hold twice, when a familiar number popped back up on my screen--Auggie called me back. He was free. He wanted to clean my drain. Things were starting to turn around.

He showed up promptly, right when he said he would, even though it was the weekend. Super-friendly. He quickly diagnosed and solved the problem, even with my old pipes, even though I had the type of trap he was hoping I didn't. He even gave me some advise about insulting my pipes and whatnot. Nice guy. Doesn't take credit cards. No big deal.

In conclusion: An absolute pleasure to do business with.

We had a knowledgeable plumber that helped haul out our dishwasher and replace a new shut off valve, but we had to get an electrician for the rest. He was early and very easy to get along with and let us know clearly what our next step is.

This company attempts to take advantage of the elderly. They gave my parents a quote for almost 6k for a new ac unit. They told them it was shot because of mouse problems. They called another company and they repaired it for $140.00. Do not call these incompetent fools for any reason. The friendly voice when you initially call is a con that will cost you a fortune. Heed my warning! You will forever regret this mistake.

Before I begin, I want to say that I have a unique situation. When my house was built (far before I bought it) they decided not to make room for a furnace inside the house. Instead, they opted to go with a furnace/air conditioner combo unit on the outside of the house.

My existing combo unit died in 2013. I hired Sabre Heating & Plumbing to install a new unit. On the installation day (Friday, December 20, 2013), I should have realized that Sabre was not the company I should have gone with. I was at work when they installed it. When I returned home, I tried to turn on the furnace but it would not turn on. I decided to look around the new unit to see if there was a power switch or button. I couldn't find one but instead found a pair of fuses just sitting on top of the unit and two wires coming out of the ground, neither attached to anything (see included images). I told them what I saw and the next day they came out and fixed it. Strangely, I did not see the fuses or wires poking out of the ground later.

To protect my investment, I signed up for their Sabre Blue Maintenance Plan. For $300/year, a technician would come out twice a year to make sure the unit was running correctly. For the first few years, everything seemed to be working just fine. I believed that when they came out for the biannual checkup that they were doing a thorough inspection of the unit. Also, since there were different technicians who came out over the years, if one technician missed something then the next one would probably catch it (or so I thought).

Things started to go wrong in the summer of 2018. At the beginning of August 2018, the air conditioner was not cooling my house so I had them come out. I looked back in my email and all I could find was a charge for $106.25. I don't delete emails so I was surprised to find no work order. On 8/16/2018, there was another charge for $108.00 to replace an ARMOD. On 10/11/2018, again my combo unit was having issues and I was charged another $125.00 for a trip fee. Next year on 8/22/2019, I again needed them to come out and repair my unit. This time at $234.00 and again with no work order so that I could not trace back what they did. One month later on 9/20/2019 they had to come out again. This time to replace the TXV at $433.89. The sheer number of issues with my unit should lead me to believe that these $300/year biannual checkups were either not being done or being done by untrained technicians.

This leads to the most recent issue. On 2/4/2020, I noticed my furnace making a loud whirring noise. On the following day, it stopped producing heat. The technician who came out replaced the inducer motor. I asked what I could do to prevent this going forward and he told me that sometimes they just seize up. He got the furnace working but I noticed that there was barely any air pressure coming out of the vents. I was happy the furnace was working so I just let it run for the night. I woke up cold at 3:00 am and saw that the temperature in my house was 56 degrees. I called Sabre again the next day and informed them that the furnace would run for 20 minutes and then shut off. They sent a different technician the following day. After working on it for a number of hours the technician told me that furnace was overheating and that a safety switch was turning it off. I asked him what could be causing it to overheat and he replied: I don't know. He told me that he would increase the high limit so that the overheating would not shut off the furnace. I didn't like this answer so, for the first time, I decided to call another HVAC company, Blue Ox. Within 20 minutes the Blue Ox technician discovered that the evaporator coil was completely blocked by dirt and dust. The reason why it was overheating was that no air was coming through the intake and the motor was trying extra hard to suck in air. In addition to this, the Blue Ox technician noticed that the exhaust vent was still taped inside the furnace where the evaporator coil was. The Sabre technicians who installed the furnace didn't know or even bother to inspect the unit after they had installed it (hence the random fuses and bare wires). Since this exhaust vent had been in there since the installation, it meant that no Sabre technicians had bothered to look at the evaporator coil, not on the numerous times they came out to fix the unit or on the many biannual checkups. In addition, these experts rarely offered solutions and were not even curious as to what the underlying issues were. This makes me believe that they are either severely under-trained, extremely lazy, or unethical. Any way you cut it, it is a good reason to go with someone besides Sabre.

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.

I have a Price Pfister pull out kitchen faucet (2 yrs old) that developed a leak in the sprayer and/or sprayer hose. I contacted PP and they sent a new hose and sprayer (in 8 days), no charge. After looking at a number of videos on how to install the new hose, I tried it myself but I didn't have the grip strength to complete the job. Since I had a coupon from Ben Franklin ($73 off), I called and explained the problem. The cust. rep. said there is an $89 service trip charge - in addition to any work done. I told her I had the coupon and asked if it applied to the service trip charge. She said yes, so I set up an appointment for 2 days later. The plumber rep, Matthew, arrived five minutes before the end of the schedule period, which was no problem. Matthew was very cordial and discussed a couple of ways to solve the leak (either replacing the hose, which PP had already provided) or replacing the O ring in the sprayer (with the O ring that PP had already provided). I said OK, how much. Matthew showed me the BF price sheet. My jaw dropped. The lowest price was $225. The repair would take less than 5 minutes! Really? REALLY? I said NO. Then I said I have a coupon that the scheduler said I could apply to the $89 service trip charge. Matthew said that coupon only applies if work is done. He said, no problem, all phone calls are recorded; so he called the scheduler. She played the recording, and yes, I was right. I had indeed said so the coupon is applied to the service call charge? Rep said yes, according to the coupon details. Yay! No...wait. In very small print that I needed my readers to see, it states not valid with any other offer or toward trip fee. Damm. So I paid the $89 and chalked it up to experience. (I asked Matthew what he would charge to install a new faucet...$350 - not including the faucet. BTW, he recommended Delta Faucets.) My advice: find an independent licensed plumber (recommended by someone you trust) and get the prices in advance. Not Ben Franklin! (The real Ben Franklin is probably raising his bushy eyebrows and saying Whaaaa?)

Was terrible, from not showing up first day to being late .. He knew I had a home warranty, they were the ones that found him.  He knew the rules.
This process took over a month to get resolved, He finally came out to the house and told me I had 3 leaks under my kitchen sink.  After numerous attempts from myself and the home warranty to get the $$ for fixing the problems he finally came back with a cost of:
$717 for the kitchen faucet (I told him no, I bought one myself and had it installed)
$225.00 garbage disposal
$184.00 old garbage disposal (I could of thrown this away myself after looking at the invoice)
$115.00 piping repair.
The day the problems were corrected he told me to pay bill in full and that he wasn't dealing with the home warranty company and that if I didn't pay him he was charging me an additional $160 per hour. I paid him as I wanted them out of my house.  All this took place while I had the home warranty on the phone explaining to him they would be issuing him a check that very day!  But Jason from Big River Plumbing, didn't care! my after thought were I should of called the police and had them removed from my property.  
Then Jason had the nerve to send me an email thanking me for their business and wished me a 'blessed' day.. Really?!?!?

Save your headaches! this problem took over a month to get resolved.  Don't use them for any projects!!!

The plumber came to our house, said he wasn't able to take care of the job but they'd send me a quote within the next couple of weeks. Since the job was exactly what I described, in writing, this seemed like a miscommunication on their part. They tried to charge me $69 for the travel fee despite not being able to do the work. They said there's no contract stating they have to actually perform the work. So I replied that there's no contract stating I have to pay the fee. I didn't pay the fee, and you shouldn't either. What a waste of time.
