Best Water Heater Installation in Saint Paul MN

I'm so grateful that I found Mark and his company's information in the Villager!  He was booked out a week in advance but was able to squeeze us in NEXT DAY!  We were working with Contractors from Hell and they did something to cause the pressure in our shower to be non-existent.  He came over, identified the issue, fixed it on the spot and even took the time to explain it!  We were getting a General Contractor quote at the time (to fix CFH issues) and he even advised us to work with them first before he did anything to help with the dishwasher install.

Great rates, great responsiveness, very honest and trustworthy.  I'm so thankful to stumble across him and wanted to share with the Yelp! community.

I would recommend Rescue Sewer & Drain to anyone, and I'll definitely be back with future plumbing needs! I wasn't expecting to have our garbage disposal fixed the same afternoon I sent an inquiry, but Roman made it happen. He was incredibly efficient and professional. I'm seriously so grateful, having the garbage disposal working gives me peace of mind!

We had Legend Services do all of the plumbing and heating work with finishing our basement and it came out great. They were on time, very friendly. Left no mess behind, professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know.

Everything you could ask for in a great service company. John gave specific detailed feedback, weighed the costs and benefits of what actions to take, showed commitment to customer satisfaction and feasibility in price and functionality, and I got to learn plenty of baseline information about the specific problems that were occurring on my unit so I know why decisions are made.

Mike and the Hessian Plumbing team are worth their weight in Gold.

After a toilet sprung a leak over the weekend, I called around to 5 plumbers Monday morning trying to get ahold of someone to come find the issue and fix it.

The first company to come out was not Hessian. Gosh, I wish it would have been! That would have saved me $99 and a lot of worry. The plumber who shall not be named quoted me minimum $1200 to fix the toilet and two valves I requested a quote on, but came up with a laundry list of other urgent fixes. The scare tactics and price tag made me uncomfortable (10K of fixes?!).

I called Mike in tears to see if could get a second opinion. He talked me off a ledge and restored my faith in the profession. His quote for the toilet and valves was in the 400 range, ended up being $740 because they had to replace a pipe they didn't know about until the toilet was removed. So - more work for about half the price quoted.

While they were here, the plumber also peeked at a few things from the urgent repairs list from the other company and reassured me that none of it was truly urgent. We found a few items that can be put on the someday list, but nothing dangerous or urgent at all.

Hessian plumbing has fair and transparent pricing, they are NOT pricing on commission to find things that don't need to be fixed like some other large chains in the area.

We are SO HAPPY we called H2C Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing for a second opinion on our malfunctioning older boiler!  We originally called the people with all the billboards in & around NE Mpls - they came away with Inform customer to replace boiler it's not worth putting over $3000 into it.   Well, I just had this niggling feeling that something was not right about this - ended up finding a recommendation on the Facebook page North House for H2C -- $290 later we are up & running with heat throughout the house! myH2C.com

These guys are a joke.  The bank I bought my house from sub-contracted them to do plumbing repairs on my house, probably picked them at random. I would never have chosen them.

Their guy sat in my basement smoking cigarettes, doing nothing, charging by the hour while he waited for the city water utility to turn on the water main.  I never asked him to wait in my basement. If I had been there, I'd have told him to do his job or get lost.  Instead, because he hung around doing nothing under the pretense of working, they got to charge me for three times the amount of labor they actually performed. The truth is, he was unable to do any work until the water main was turned on.  Very, very shady. They also charged me an enormous truck fee (around $70) just for getting off their duffs and driving a mile and a half to my house.

In spite of how skeezy this all was, I never disputed the fees or how they were calculated even though I knew I was getting screwed.  I didn't want to wade into the quagmire of smalls claims court as I was trying to get my house into livable condition.

The bank stupidly paid in advance for the work, cut them a huge check and told them to remit the remaining balance to me after they took their cut for their labor. Even with all of their hidden fees and questionable charges,there was still a sizable sum left over.

Well, you can guess how that turned out.  I had to threaten to sue them, file complaints with the BBB, and repeatedly call one of the plumbers at his other job before they finally cut me a check for the outstanding balance.  It took weeks to get my money back.  That money wasn't a gift from the bank.  It was slated for other repairs that needed to be done as part of our signed contract.  Everyone deserves to be able to move into a house that has a functioning toilet and running water.

It sure seemed like they were trying to rip me off in any way they could.  The bank made it easy for them, and they took every advantage they could of my situation.  

My advice: steer clear.  And if you are ever in a position where the bank you are buying your home from is paying for repairs to be performed, if those repairs are going to be performed after you move in, make sure you're the one choosing contractors and subcontractors.  And don't allow anyone to make bids who has bad reviews.  I don't know if Tschida Brothers did before, but they do now.

I have mixed feelings about Ike's, the gentleman we've had to our house twice was more than kind, professional, and explained everything that he was doing. However, he didn't really get to the route of our issue and when we notified them they were a less than professional with us.

Great local company with honest and knowledgeable techs.  Highly recommend! Go local and forget about the monopolies!

Did a great job of installing my tankless water heater for a reasonable price. Quick response, done in one day including removing the old unit and installing the tankless in a slightly different location.

Disrespectful and a racist. Dont give him your money. He is known for over charging and being disrespectful. Only works with rich white folks and scams them by over charging because the rich folks dont know anything.

They were on time, friendly, thorough, protected our floors, were done in half the time of the prior plumbing coming that was nearly twice the price. They pointed out a couple items we need to take care of down the road. Great experience, highly recommend.

Called out to troubleshoot a furnace.  Technician came out and stated heat exchanger, pressure switches, gas valve, and blower motor all needed to be replaced. Technician actually red tagged my furnace and said I could not safely turn it back on.  I was then highly pressured into signing up to get a new furnace on the spot.   I had to spend 30 mins explaining why I wanted to get a second opinion and why I had issues signing up for a new furnace then.  Called another licensed company who came out and diagnosed and got the furnace up and running.  It had tripped out due to lack of air flow due to a dirty filter and tried to start back up several times and needed a hard reset.  None of the suggested repairs were needed as well as paying 16K for a new furnace / AC (before the negotiation with supervisor for additional discounts to get it down to 13K).  Customer service didn't want to discuss any resolutions and only said they will talk to the Technicians supervisor and use this experience for future coaching sessions.  Bad enough experience I filed a complaint with BBB.  Would give 0 stars if possible.

Pedro was the technician who stopped at my house and I don't know if he is the owner of the company or just works for them but he is the only in-home technician that I have ever had a truly horrible experience with.  I showed him the problem in my basement and after some examination, he tried to show me in my pipes where the problem may be coming from.  All of that was just fine but, honestly, I couldn't get too close to the guy because he was soaked in cologne and the smell of him was giving me a vicious headache.  He didn't seem to appreciate me not wanting to get close to him and started to speak to me in an agitated manner. He asked me questions about the work done prior, which I hadn't been home for.  I called my husband and asked him questions about the work done previously to the pipes and Pedro kept talking over me as I was talking on the phone or trying to listen to my husband speak.  I put my husband on hold and asked Pedro not to interrupt me, I couldn't talk on the phone that way.  He said If you don't want my help, fine.  Pay me and I'll leave.  I wrote him a check and he stormed out.  About 5 minutes after he drove off he came back and parked in front of my house.  He got out of his van and stormed halfway up the driveway like he had something else on his mind, and by God, I was going to hear it.  Then he turned away and left, like he had changed his mind.
I have dealt with technicians in my home a lot and this was the first time that I felt uncomfortable and a bit unsafe.  Seriously.  Do NOT do business with this company.
