Best A/C Repair in Columbus OH

I had a 50 gallon electric water heater replaced. It was a swap of the same model on warranty since the 3 year old tank was leaking. They came to take a free look, then left to go get a replacement tank after 30 minutes. They returned back, 1.5 hours later, claiming they had to go to two places to find the correct tank. The tanks were swapped in 30 minutes. I was charged $1,016.00! This was just for labor as the tank was a free warranty replacement!

Apparently, I was unknowingly paying them hundreds of dollars per hour while they drove across town, to two places, to pick up the water heater. Based on my math, I was charged $406.40 per hour for this water heater to be picked up and then swapped. I was not given any specific breakdown of the cost. This pricing is absolutely astronomical and I will make sure everyone I know avoids this company going forward. I do NOT recommend Apex Plumbing Pros.

Nicked my water line while doing a project at home. They arrived within an hour of calling, were personable, professional and helpful. They wrapped up the job in under an hour and the price was very reasonable. Water back on and disaster avoided. Highly recommend.

After reading so many positive reviews I really wanted to get an estimate from this company for a small plumbing job in our home. I tried contacting them a couple of times by email and their telephone number. They have no answering service to answer questions or schedule, so i finally got another plumbing company to come to our house.

Y'all.

Sit back and relax and let me tell you about the absolutely amazing experience I had with the amazing people behind Ohio Water Heaters (OWH).

Once upon a time my tankless water heater stopped working and I searched the world of Columbus over for quotes on a new heater. I needed a company with flexibility with a  flare of tech savvy and virtual visit options. I filled out contact form after contact form and was told pictures weren't enough and someone would have to come onsite.

Until I connected with Mike of OWH.

Words can't describe how incredible my experience has been with OWH. I sent Mike a picture of my current set up and confidently talked through my options. I wanted to virtually show him the space and we were able to swiftly move to a video call. Mike understood my needs and made an excellent project recommendation. Setting up the appointment was a breeze and I LOVE that OWH has a dedicated client website and utilizes text reminders for the appointment and to notify you of when your tech(s) are on the way.

Austin and Chris were assigned to me job and are great! They answered my billions of questions with style and grace.

The checkout process was fantastic as well. I was impressed to see that they use an iPad checkout process. I immediately received an invoice that included details on my warranties. Bonus - I didn't have to register my product; Mike did it all for me!

Choosing OWH to help me with my water heating (and some light plumbing) needs was a slam dunk win decision!

I gladly recommend McDermott with five stars. This week, the company came out when our washer's drain pipe was backing up and overflowing onto the basement floor. Another company had previously said our drain might have concrete in it and the floor needed to be completely broken up. That would have cost thousands of dollars. Michael from McDermott snaked the pipe and fixed it pronto, never suggesting concrete in the pipe. (He said it was just typical gunk.) McDermott is honest, reasonable and Michael is very nice and easy to work with (and he's a dog person, so our dog loved him!). McDermott also has installed a water heater for us in the past and took care of a leaky dishwasher.

Trevor did a great job! He came in through our warranty for a toilet issue that he quickly remedied and also discovered some unrelated issues with our water heating and piping in our basement. He is very detailed in his work and in noticing areas to improve the plumbing. Much appreciated!

Quick and easy! For a great price too! My toilet was broken and I was at a loss of what to do or where to go! Found A Mann Plumbing through a recommendation and they took care of me! Rebuilt my toilet completely for a great price. Will definitely be going back to them for future plumbing needs. Thanks for the help guys! You rock.

Plumbing one came out to help us in a pinch. They were knowledgeable, quick, and didn't break the bank. I highly recommend them for anyone's plumbing needs.

These are my go-to plumbers in Columbus. They do great work, but I have to start here:

Oh my goodness, the receptionist is so kind and caring. Clearly people are having a bad day most of the time when they are calling a plumber. She's empathetic and let's me believe my (relatively small) problem is a travesty. I also have no idea how she balances everything. I was scheduled for my broken dishwasher about 48 hours from my call but I let her know I worked form home and she said she's put me on a cancellation list. By noon the next day I had a plumber in my house.

The plumber was early (!)  he called and let me know he was 45 minutes out and then showed up in under 30. When I commented he mentioned he decided to skip lunch. If my kitchen wasn't a wreck I would have made him one.

He fixed the problem expertly and asked him to look at a kitchen sink bad install I had (last time I'm ever not using these plumbers for anything, but it was a contracted job). He was able to fix it too. It had been driving me nuts for over a year.

This isn't the first time over used them. Every time I've had someone different and every time they're great and have solved some tricky problems. Once a clogged drain necessitated an entire repointing under the kitchen sink (again, call G&M first but I let my boyfriend take a crack at it first). The problem had my man cursing and yelling up a storm the night before. This guy came in and NO LIE -- SANG -- while he worked.

Bottom line, they have been able to fix all sorts of problems around my house and they're reasonably priced. Even the times I've thought holy hell when I saw the bill it's been a reflection of the time, expertise, and complexity of the project.  

Oh and yeah, plumber wore a mask the while time and didn't comment or complain...unfortunately been rare with tradesmen.

They were very nice and came quickly for a non-emergency repair of a toilet valve and flapper assembly for a typical toilet plus new water fill valve to the toilet.  I've given them three stars because it cost $365 which seems really expensive for 30 minutes work.

My experience with Ben Franklin Plumbing was outstanding, and no money exchanged hands! I scheduled to have an older valve replaced on a shower that backs up to a vanity. The plumber Tim arrived and informed me that the shower backs right into a stud at an odd place in the wall where a bedroom closet/vanity cabinet/air chase meet. He could replace the valve but would have to do a workaround using a different trim and cutting into the marble of the shower. When I told Tim we plan to remodel the bathroom and replace the whole vanity eventually, he suggested I wait until we do that work to get the shower valve replaced. That way, they could do it the right way with less cost to me. His honest assessment of the current repair (i.e., buying the extra trim part, paying for more labor to cut the marble, mess of cutting the marble) was impressive to me. Trustworthy repairpeople are so valuable! When we are ready for our major remodeling, I will hire Ben Franklin Plumbing without hesitation.

Called for emergency on a Saturday. They promised to be out within the hour. They showed up in about 20 minutes. Very professional! I was a mess and they were super nice and helpful!

Great guys. Had my plumbing issue fixed in no time and at a great price. I'll definitely use them in the future.

John & his son came to install a new water line for a new refrigerator that's being delivered soon. John was polite, clean & takes pics of all of his work. It took very little time & his charge was less than his estimate! He's also available to take electronic payment for his work, so that makes it easy as well.
    Absolutely recommend him for your next plumbing need!

I wish I could say enough good things about Emergency Plumbing Service. The drain in our basement overflowed due to a blockage and I had them come to my house. It was the first time something like this would happen to me and I was a bit panicked and agitated. They didn't lose their cool and gave me a first class phone and in person experience. Not only did they get the basement which was about 5 inches deep in water completely drained but they also got my water heater to start working again. They saved me thousands of dollars and I don't know what I would have done without them. Chris and Jen you are both fantastic and so are your employees!

Amanda Plumbing is our go to Plumbing partner / expert.  Their team is fast, friendly and accountable.  Their receptionist / dispatcher is so friendly and helpful.  Had to go out of town and they came same day to fix a leaking water pipe.  Actually made a mistake and had to come back same day (for no charge) to make sure they got the job done right.  They are not the lowest cost plumber some people may need, but I trust them to do all the things that I would just screw up and make a mess with.  Thanks Amanda Plumbing.

Cruikshank Plumbing deceptive sales practice: lower estimate by omitting part of work through use of technical terms, pad your bill w/o explanation after work have started.

Chris has replaced all the pipes in my entire house and snakes my main drain line yearly. He is always on time, professional, and does great work. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

3.5 stars rounding up to 4.

Let me start by saying this was contractor #7 I contacted to do this job.  The other 6 stalled somewhere between showing up to give an estimate - all the way to pulling a no show when the quote was accepted and the job was scheduled.  Needless to say, I was pleased when someone finally showed up to do the work.

I was able to schedule the job within several business days of contacting them.  They charge an hourly rate - and I opted to provide materials.  I needed a water damaged spot in the sub-floor in the master bathroom repaired - which then required the flooring to be replaced.  Of course, all the linoleum had to be removed and the toilet taken out.  No small job, despite the small spot damaged.  But the work was mandatory as we are working to sell the house this year.

I dealt with one person and he was quite pleasant.  Communication was good with the company - reminder, notice of who was coming, etc.  The worker went about his business with little bother to me.  He only let me know when he was going to pick up materials and asked my input about the replacement tiles.

The one thing that disappointed me - he didn't go to the most convenient store - so he got stuck in traffic which cost him time and ME MONEY.  I should have been more specific but since I mentioned the name of closest place and he went elsewhere - I thought I had conveyed the information.  WRONG.  Lesson learned.

The delay in traffic kept him from doing another small job I needed done.  But at that point, I wanted to stop paying his hourly fee and called it quits when the job was finished.

He did a nice job of cleaning up and removing his waste materials.  I would use him again for a job that warranted their pricing scale.  I will either do the smaller job myself or find someone who will fix it for a fee.  Recommend if you're done being stood up by all the other contractors but you will pay for the work.  Definitely not a cheap proposition.  And I recommend you buy the materials yourself.
