Best Electric Water Heater Inst… in Austin TX
Problem was a bad 50 amp breaker. Scott quickly diagnosed and changed it in no time. Same day service was appreciated. Perhaps a little pricey but I live a ways from Austin. Will use them again. Scott was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable.

Hired father and son duo to install my bathtub and plumb faucet with PEX. Provided the install instructions. They were super friendly- however...
They installed the faucet upside down, but came back to correct it. They did not shim under the tub nor put cement or felt as Recomended by the manufacturer. Found out later that the overflow plastic mechanism was broken off during install but not mentioned. Tub was scratched on the apron as well as the bathroom door. Tub was not shimmed to the studs, and had to be reattached. Shower head spout was not positioned correctly (recessed too deep) for Sheetrock to go over. Tub spout was 2in higher than per the manufacturer. The work got done with no leaks so far, but the quality for the price is simply not in alignment. I corrected about half of the issues, but they should have knocked off 30-40% of their price as I'm certain they did know they were being rough. I would hire them again despite this review, but they need to be managed with certain types of work to ensure that they are careful and thorough.

I love these guys. They come promptly and do a great job. They found the problem that made my AC quit, but also checked out the whole unit. The charge was very reasonable. These guys know their business.

We're in the LONG process of getting the proper approvals and permits for a home backup generator. Steve, Terry, Chuck and Michael have done a FANTASTIC job of patiently working through all that was/is necessary to prepare for the generator delivery. That included proper sizing of the generator to be installed. For those planning on getting a generator, determining the proper size generator is critical. Everyone I have worked with at Blanco has been TOP NOTCH. They're exactly the 100% customer oriented group of guys that any customer could hope for. Unfortunately, far too many companies selling generators fall far short of Blanco's standards. And, they will not take the time to select a generator that is adequate for your needs. The right home backup generator will very likely not be cheap. But, wouldn't you want that selection to be the right one for you and your family? Go with Blanco & you will not regret the decision.

I had an extreme emergency when I came home from work Thursday. I had nowhere to turn. I got on the nextdoor appt to find a local plumber. 1st ac and plumbing came highly recommended, so i crossed my fingers and called. Luckily, they had on call people who were close by. Within 1/2 hour the plumber came, he checked everything. It was an ac problem, so he called the ac on call guy, who came within 1/2 hour of that. Everything was figured out, and presented to me with a fair price for the evening. I took the night to consider how I wanted to proceed with repairs. Calls and texts were returned quickly and obscure questions answered respectfully. I felt like they didnt give up on me and our problem, that we would be in good hands. Ac arrived on time and worked all day until matter resolved. Great job from John, Junior and Ryan. I am definitely adding this company to my cell phone contacts. Thanks 1st plumbing.

A caution regarding an unscrupulous electrical company. I contracted with Salt Light & Electric to fix an issue with a circuit breaker that kept tripping. When the technician arrived, he offered to do a $589 diagnostic or he could do a $280 breaker replacement. He went hard for the expensive diagnostic stating that it would come with a free breaker if it was the problem. I opted to have the breaker changed, thinking that it was the problem. After an inspection revealed that the breaker wasn't faulty, I went ahead with the diagnostic. To my surprise at billing time, I was charged for both, even though the technician said the breaker wasn't faulty. Since I had to sign before ANY work was done, it NEVER occurred to me that I was being double charged. When I contacted the company, I was told that I had paid for the breaker because that is what I signed authorizing them to do. I discovered AFTER the fact that despite telling me there was nothing wrong with the breaker, it was replaced, consequently incurring the charge. Salt Light & Electric not only stood by that decision, but made it a point to say that I had signed to have the breaker replaced, even though their technician determined that it wasn't faulty. The end result is that the experts claim that I determined that a breaker was needed when, in fact, had I opted for the diagnostics, the very first thing they would have done is checked and/or changed the breaker.
Beware of these shady business practices. Even their customer service rep who called me for a follow up was dismissive, rude, and ONLY concerned that everything was by the book, so if I wanted to be upset then so be it!
Steer clear of these folks! They are terrible! My next steps are BBB and social media.

My 20 year old ac finally dies in March 2018. I called Jon Wayne Air and stupidly let them talk me into buying a 10,000.00 system. Included with that price was a service contract for a year so in Feb 2019 they came and serviced the ac. They tried to sell me another 1 year service contract for 240.00. I declined because it was just too much money. Aug 30 2019 my ac quit working so called them and they came out on the 31st and checked my ac. They were going to charge me 600.00 plus labor to replace the starter and capacitor, or I could sign up for another contract at 240.00. Sound fishy? You pay 10 grand for a system that doesn't last a year and a half and they want to stick it to you. Beware of these con artists.
