Best Water Heater Installation in Minneapolis MN

I finally got around to getting the living room electrical issue addressed. The cats had a huge fight some time ago, and I'd lost power to 3/4 of the room. Because I figured that it was going to be a pretty spendy proposition, I hemmed and hawed about it.

When I finally broke down to address it, I used the Yelp Get-A-Quote feature to find reputable companies to get the job done.

Erickson was one of the responding companies. They were not the company who promised me the cheapest rates. Their contact was professional and friendly. After giving my phone number, I was called by a young lady who asked me to return the call if I was interested in having them work on my home (I was in my 10,000th Zoom meeting at the time of the call).

I called back and was asked a few more questions about the issue and I explained that I believed that one outlet was the source of the problem and that fixing it would end all the other problems. I was told that they bill for time and materials and that the cost would be around $200, depending upon the amount of time the electrician would be working. This was in line with the research I'd done on outlet replacement costs.

I took a deep breath and accepted the time slot of 7:30 - 9:30 Thursday. This was a quicker time than some of the other companies had available, and I didn't want to wait any longer.

Dean was right on time and got right to work inspecting what needed to be done. We chatted a bit as he was preparing to get into the outlet. I showed him down to the basement to ensure that the circuit was off. He'd mentioned several things about the wiring and such while down there. I've made mental notes of them. Before going down, he tried to use a device that would read the current but couldn't get it into the outlet (it was pretty melted).

After taking apart the outlet, which was very crispy, he explained that the problem was the wiring in the outlet itself and that my cats fighting didn't cause the overload. It was a fire waiting to happen. I wasn't happy to hear that, as I've now got concerns about all the other outlets in the house.

It didn't take him any time at all to switch out and correctly rewire the new outlet. This was probably the best $205 I've spent on the house thus far.

Dean was friendly, professional, and fast. I'm feeling quite happy that Yelp has helped me go three for three with service professionals coming to work on things in my home. I know that I'll be calling Erickson for anything that comes up in the future.

Our pipe was leaking through the top floor bathroom and into our office area on the first floor. We needed emergency services and Hibernian was there. He showed up on time, had the right PVC piping to solve the problem, and fixed our issue. He was engaging and so helpful! The price was much less than anticipated. He saved our 4th of July weekend! Amazing professionalism, fun conversation, and our new go to plumber! Will be recommending him to all our friends!

Michael expertly diagnosed and corrected  a complicated drain clog.  We had had another incorrectly address this problem before, which is really why this call was needed.  The tech arrived within an hour of calling the company on a Sunday, and made no mess whatsoever.  Highly recommended.

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.

Scheduled the service call from the online form.  I got to pick the date and time window I wanted. There was a call letting me know the tech was on his way.
Fred was professional and answered every question I had. He snaked the main line from the house to the street. We knew what we needed as we have really large trees in the front whose roots interfere with the system. He made sure the line was clear by thorough testing.
Was happy with everything. The price seemed high as I didn't shop around, but he was honest and said that Roto-Rooter wasn't the cheapest, but also not the most expensive... That made me feel better. ;)

Brad came out early as my plumbing issue escalated, which was really amazing!  I had standing water on my bathroom and laundry room floors which increased with every flush, washer load or shower drain.  He cleared our line in good time and did a great job!  He explained all he did and wrote it down for me on the receipt.  He took the time to chat with my husband on the phone also.  He was super friendly with my two dogs and very nice to me.  I will call Weld & Sons Plumbing every time we have a plumbing issue!  Thank you so much, Brad!

I've used Pete to help me finish my basement bathroom as well as a bonus room bath.  I've also given his name to many of my friends for their projects such as toilet replacement, leaky faucet repairs, and used him at our place of business (flooring replacements).  Pete always responds and gets the job done when we need him to!

In the past, I've called a plumber, had the work done and never wanted to call the same plumber again.  I've used St. Paul Pipeworks three times now.  Each time I've received excellent service, they fix all the items on my checklist each visit, and if they can't do something, they explain why, so that it makes sense to me.  Communication with St. Paul Pipeworks is excellent from the first call where they get a description of the problem(s) and schedule a time and day, to the person who does the work.  Their staff is knowledgeable, professional and personable.  Before beginning any work, they assess the problems while at my home, then give an estimate of what it will cost.  St. Paul Pipeworks is outstanding, trustworthy, and I never want to call anyone but their company now.

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.

My first experience with Discount was good. It was so good that I called them again when we had a plumbing problem.
Today, my experience was terrible. We were quoted a high price, and it came with an attitude. I'll be looking elsewhere.

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!

Anytime I have to call someone to come work on my house it seems like there are always hidden costs. With Plumb Right they were up front and told me exactly what the work would cost before starting. I have never met a more determined employee than Thomas. He told us that our clogged drain was the worst he had ever seen but he worked at it diligently and eventually cleared the drain. Also, they recommended a water softener which we had been shopping around for. Having them come in and install it took a big burden off our shoulders. We will eventually have to repipe all our water lines and Plumb Right will definitely get our business. I won't go anywhere else for plumbing anymore.

All-around great service.  Needed a basement drain cleaned after it stopped flowing.  He responded to my text inquiry within 40minutes on a Sunday morning and we scheduled work for the next day.  He was prompt and fixed things in about 30 minutes, including some extra runs down the pipe to make sure it was clean beyond the trap.  We appreciate his thoroughness, politeness, promptness and fair price.  Loved the option of scheduling via text too!

I didn't know who to call so I took a random guess. Had an outstanding experience with this company. Nate was awesome. We got our new water line in hassle free and very affordable.  I will definitely use them again when needed. Great job!

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.

Everyone makes mistakes and accidents happen. It's part of life.

However, when a company repeatedly makes blunders which cost you money and then refuses to make it right, that's just bad business. Personally, I had to take vacation time over six days and spend an additional $700 too because of their errors.

My wife and I built a new home last year with Sabre as the HVAC and plumbing contractor, and we've had an incredible amount of trouble with their quality, craftsmanship and customer service.

Here's is a quick rundown of the trouble we've had with Sabre:

-The technicians at Sabre installed our HVAC system wrongly causing cold winter air to be forced into the house instead of passing through the furnace. This caused our winter heating bill to be $100-$150 more than the average for the winter months.  It was eventually fixed, but in the end, their mistakes cost me money.

-Because of the issues with the HVAC system would couldn't use our lower level during the winter. The temperature rarely crept above 60 degrees.  At night, the temperature rarely got above 55 degrees, despite our thermostat set at 70 degrees. The problem was eventually resolved, but it took over three months and six service visits to get it done.

-Our 2 Zone HVAC system and thermostats were wired backward. The heat control on the thermostat was wired to the AC system, meaning the AC would turn on when the heat was supposed to. This meant we were greeted by a blast of cold air when the heat was supposed to turn on. This should have been found during inspection but was not. Again, Sabre had to send someone out.

-Technicians had to come to our home six times over two months to fix the problems above. Yes, you read that correctly SIX TIMES. This forced me to take unnecessary time off and lose even more money.  You know it's ridiculous when you are on a first name basis with the technicians.

-Finally, we had a natural gas line installed during the building process. I spoke with a rep from Sabre and was quoted over the phone $292 for the job. To my surprise, I received a bill for $550 after it was installed. This price was never agreed upon at any point. I would have paid the bill without much thought, but because we had so much trouble, I was extremely annoyed. I paid the bill, but the company should have compensated us.

Save yourself the trouble and take your business elsewhere.

They have an online scheduling system, which I used, but they never showed up. I got confirmation emails and texts, even reminder texts. But no show, no call, no nothing.

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!

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!!!

I have a ceiling fun in my staircase with switches on three levels. Wanted a dedicated juice wire just for that fun, independent from the ceiling light (they are at present on the same circuit).
Have done a lot of DIY, but thought a would get a professional for this particular job, since our condo has six levels. The fellow came with a fully equipped truck as the girl on the phone said (what professional doesn't come with the tools of his trade?). Before even asking what was to be done, he presented books of their company's BBB rating which made me wary. Than It took me more than 15 minutes to explain what I wanted a ceiling fan hooked up on a separate circuit - got the feeling that the guy tried very hard not to understand a very simple procedure I wanted. After spending another hour looking at the switchboard and writing estimates he came up with three figures ranging between 3 and 4 thousand dollars with a small discount if I subscribe to their club with a monthly fee... Which would include the rewiring for practically the whole house. And all that for hooking up a ceiling fa... I assume it was the same Paul mentioned in another review (like taking a car for an oil change and being told you need to rebuild the whole engine. This is a classical scam procedure and I don't care how many stars they have from some people they can scare with their ridiculous sales pitch.
BTW. On their flier they advertised a whole house inspection for $49, than after I called, the girl on the phone said he could come within three hours for $59 or within two hours for $79 which already sounded fishy.
Hands off is my advice.
