Best Electric Water Heater Installation in Pittsburgh PA

If you're looking for quality plumbing work, hire Joe. First, he returned my call after hours, which showed me that he really cared about my problem. He came the next day to fix my faucet and took the time to evaluate another issue we were having. Joe is a super friendly, honest guy. He's a true master at what he does. I highly recommend him for any plumbing need.

I have had to call Frank three times in the recent months.  Two calls were for smaller problems and one was for a large problem, a broken pipe behind a wall.   Frank was able to fix all three problems in a very reasonable amount of time and at a very reasonable charge.  I recommend Frank to be called for any type of plumbing problem.   John B   Penn Hills

Very happy with Express Plumbing. Its such a relief to find a professional that I can actually trust. (especially when he was dealing with me and not my husband) I was ripped off by a big name plumber who didn't even finish the job. I called Express Plumbing and the same day Steve came out and fixed the mess the other guys left. He was quick and very reasonable. I have since had him come back to install a hot water tank, as well as a new furnace and AC unit. I highly recommend!

After waiting to see what a problem  was with a small leak , it needed a call for help. That leak was non stop and time to give Wexford Handyman a call . But, there was a 2 week wait! Soon after the call , they said a worker, Andrew, would be at my house in an hour.
After viewing the leak, Andrew went to work and he stated that there would be some cutting to be done on the garage ceiling/ dry wall. There was water on the joists and floor board above.
After getting rid of insulation, he decided to try another idea. There was a leak from the dishwasher!
Some time later , Neil, came to help with the project. This tandem was experienced with heaps of knowledge. All necessary items were from their trucks and their timely work ethic was fabulous.
Later, they took out the dishwasher and placed ITV in their truck. The clean up was done perfectly.
I will check Wexford Handyman again since they have more different jobs listed.I highly recommend them for any future needs or problems.

My experience with Lakewood mechanical was very positive.  The home we purchased last August has multiple HVAC units and Rob was great. He listened to our concerns and checked everything out. He cleaned and serviced all the units and made suggestions about how to inspect and maintain the units going forward. Very highly recommended.

Heater/Humidifier was acting up. They showed up within 30 minutes of us calling. They were incredibly friendly on the phone. They sent Tyler, who was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They are not only the most reasonably priced company around, but you can tell they aren't trying to rip you off. I will go back to this company anytime I need help with our furnace.

I've had this man clean my gutters twice. Very professional. I will call him when I need something done again. Clean vehicle, clean appearance. Doesn't talk down to women.

Gerard plumbing review for yelp

The plumber that came out to the house was absolutely great. He did a great job, was personable & respectful. The wait time to get someone in to do it was a lot less than other plumbers for a non emergency service. The guy I spoke to on the phone over the weekend was also great. However, they quoted me one price over the phone over the weekend, when someone called on Monday to schedule the service she said oh, he gave you a nice discount for that then when the plumber came onsite he charged my mother $100 more than the highest end of the quote. Originally, I asked to install a valve & a dishwasher. Turns out the valve was already there, but it did end up needing replaced. So they charged $100 more for less than 2 hours of work and a easier job that originally quoted. They also took down part of my basement ceiling to see how the dishwasher was draining, that I now have to replace, so it is going to cost even more money to repair that now as well.

Mr Shelton and his daughter Sarah went out of their way to help me prepare for a home inspection! They could not have been more kind or flexible! Their contractors were the nicest, most polite people. I will always call them in the future!! Highly Highly recommend.

Friendly and professional. I like how they wear shoe covers in my house. They do a good job scheduling and notifying you ahead of your appointment.

Cleaned and serviced our Mitsubishi mini split units throughout our house. We just moved and I had never had them before and the technician was so patient and polite with his responses to all of my questions. He took his time and inspected our outdoor unit, cleaned the filters for all 4 indoor units, put them back, and cleaned the drain line for an insanely low price ($75-$99 if I remember correctly). I was very pleased with this service and glad I found them, because we did not know who installed the mini splits and most companies declined to work on them if they did not install them.

Terribly rude person/owner.  He was very condescending and has little patience when speaking to customers.  He lost his patience and hung up on me because my child began to ask for me.  Would not recommend him to anyone ...especially if they have children.

I had my main water line break and got a couple quotes to fix it. These guys came out and looked at it and were very respectful and professional. We told them that the water company was going to shut the water off in ten days. They waited for six days to give us their quote that was higher by fifteen hundred dollars then any other. They tried to paint us into a corner knowing that our water was getting shut off. We opted to get our water shut off instead of paying them and went with someone else.

Thank you for being so responsive and for the quick appointment! Having never needed a plumber before, 5-Star Air set the bar extremely high. Will definitely call again if the need arises. I can't say enough positive things!

When a crawlspace pipe burst while I was out of town (Feb 2022), Tom's same-day service was invaluable to identifying and resolving the issue. His communication was great and the service cost was very fair. I highly recommend Suica and will definitely use them in the future!

I had a clogged toilet and very yucky stuff backing up in my tub as a result. They arrived earlier than expected and did great work. Mike & Mike are an amazing team and I couldn't have been happier with them and their work. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I would use mark allen plumbing again in a heartbeat!

Never again.

TL;DR;
Calfo did an incomplete / incorrect diagnosis, costing me $2400 in repairs that fixed nothing. Wanted another $2000 on top of that to do additional repairs. Owner not empathetic to the position I was in; Wouldn't budge on cost. Weird MVP program you must join to get basic things you'd get included anywhere else. I ended up needing a whole new system and had it done by someone else for less.

The Diagnosis and Estimate:
I have electric heat at my house with a heat pump. I called Calfo because my heat pump was not warming my house up whatsoever, despite running constantly. The tech (Dylan) who was polite enough, did lots of testing and determined in his view that the root cause was a bad reversing valve. He told me it would be $2400 to fix the reversing valve (which I learned is a 100-200 part). I was stunned, but begrudgingly agreed to the repair as it seemed to be the only known issue and I would avoid needing a new system, which Calfo charges in the range of $10-11k to do.

The Fix:
Two techs came to repair the reverse valve. It took them roughly 4 hours. They fired up the heat pump and, after about 20-30 minutes, gave me grim news. The heat pump was still not operating well. They had now determined that the TXV expansion valve was also bad and needed replaced. The cost? $2000 extra.

I was very upset, both that the issue with the TXV was not spotted in the first diagnostic, and that I was not warned in the first place that there could be potential for further issues. I would have NEVER agreed to a $2400 repair if I was told there was even a slight chance that this would not fix my problem and I'd have to pay another $2000 to again 'maybe' fix things.

Conversation with Owner:
I figured I'd talk to the owner and get a discount on the second repair, considering they were at least somewhat responsible for this misdiagnosis and failure to provide me the right information to make a decision. It took several days to get a call back, and I got nowhere with him. He would not budge on the $2000 price tag to put in a $100-200 part. He insisted that the computer tells him what the job costs and their is no wiggle room. I find it odd that the owner of a business can't cut any margin to help out a customer that has already given them a substantial amount of money. All I wanted was 50% off the new repair and he wouldn't do it.  All he would do is give me a small discount on a new install (which they charge around $11,000 for). I asked to send me an estimate for the lowest SEER rated system they install. I never received one. He also insisted that I could use the heat pump, it just wouldn't work as well as it could. This turned out to not be true, as I ran it for hours and hours after the repair and my house would not heat up.

In the end:
I ultimately decided to eat the $2400 and call someone else. Not only did they confirm the TXV was bad, they also suggested that the reverse valve installed by Calfo was already showing signs of malfunction. They highly insisted on a complete replacement at just $7000 for a 14 SEER system. No gimmicks. No silly MVP program. 10 year warranty.

I cannot recommend Calfo. They screwed up and have to know it. Mistakes happen, but as long as you own up to your part in it and rectify the situation, you are okay in my book and I'll write you a great review. After giving them the chance to make things right, they simply wouldn't.

The right thing to do would be to give me a full or partial refund  since the repair didn't really resolve anything.

The plumber wasn't vaccinated & believes the virus and Dr Fauci are a hoax.  

The quoted price for the service is 3 times what another charges.  They are crooks.

Adam Mondine of Modine Plumbing & Construction is FRAUDULET!  He asked for a $150 retainer for Tiling my shower. He declined to do the work and promised to refund my money. Over the last 6 week I have asked Adam for the refund and he promised he would. He has lots of excuses of why he could not!
Not a Man of his Word.  Please stay away from him. 6 weeks of his excuses are enough!
