this was my final experience with them: Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing Paige H. Chat Specialist Good Paige H. Welcome back to Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing! How can I help you today? Customer I have been waiting for 3 days for someone to show up and repair my heater. I was told yesterday I was scheduled for today after I had been told the day before I would have someone here yesterday. I called this AM and was told someone would call me right back...that was almost 3 hours ago. I will not be doing business with you. I explained I was a senior with medical problems, and you say you have 24/7 service. I know you have nothing to do with this, but I would like you to pass it to management. I will be putting my experience on YELP and Google, and any other reviews I can find. This type of service is completely unacceptable! Paige H. Let me read over this information. One moment! I am so sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience. I know it can be frustrating especially during the holidays, but we can get super busy even during this time. We would never forget about you! Would you like our emergency line? You should get someone quicker with that number! Customer I have been calling it for the past three days and told everyday someone would be here tomorrow, so no thanks. I have called another company, and yes someone has dropped the ball after I put in my first request here three days ago. I told the person I could make it thru the night but wanted someone asap. Again this is unacceptable. Read Paige H. Let me read this! I understand. I am really sorry. I will be sure it doesn't happen again. I'm glad you are getting your problem solved. Is there anything else I can help you with today? Customer Pass the content of this chat to Management. There are many who need to go back to training!

He left when I declined the outrageous estimate of repairs without performing any of the "tune up" services. The tenant was left without water service as it had to be shut off. I'm completely dissatisfied.
Description of Work: I requested and paid, in advance, $49.00 for a "toilet tune up" The service rep performed no tune up at all. He did provide an estimate to repair/replace the water shut off valve in the toilet tank and the supply shut off valve ($32.00 in parts, for both at home depot) for $476.00 !!! Needless to say, I declined the offer. In my opinion, these "tune up" offers are an opportunity to over charge and I'll not purchase any again.

I checked out the plumbers listed on Angie's List, and called Rite Way. They were located near the house where the problem was (running toilet), although I've never called them before. They were polite on the phone and said they would send someone to check out the problem right away, and they were punctual according to the tenant. The house call was $77, which is high, but expected. I had to pay prior to the house call with a credit card. However, they were going to charge me $411 to replace a flapper or valve on the toilet, which isn't reasonable and totally unacceptable. I've paid less to have a new toilet installed. I called the office today to give them an opportunity to revise their bid, and they wouldn't budge. I would not call Rite Way for your plumbing needs. The toilet still needs to be repaired, and I'll call someone else.
Description of Work: Fix a continuously running toilet.

They came out and cleaned the coil. It took them about an hour, maybe an hour and a half to clean the coil and charged me $560.00. I was expecting about a $300.00 price tag. I was really upset about the costs, so I called around to other A/C companies and they told me I would be looking at $300.00 for them to do the same work. I feel that I was completely over charged.

The duct cleaning was done first and the the new HVAC was installed a few days later. The installation took only about 6 hours and was handled very professionally by 2 installers. We got the system with electro-static air filters. the new system is very quiet and efficient. Rite Way also worked with TEP to get us a credit for installing a more efficient HVAC. We are very pleased with the work and the new system.
Description of Work: Rite Way cleaned our air ducts and changed out our HVAC system to a Trane XR17 system.

from Rite dgiOur Hvac system quit so we called Rite Way Heating Cooling to come see if it could be repaired. Their repair tech came to and inspected our system found the problems and explained them to us so we understood the problems clearly. We decided rather than put more money in a old inefficient system we would replace it with a new modern and efficient one. Branden Hughes was able to come out that evening and showed an great amount of patient explaining and knowledge concerning the HVAC systems we were we were interested in. He explained all financing options available. We selected the Trane XV18-4TTC. Rite Way was able to schedule installation in 5 days after our meeting with Brandon. David Shirly and his install crew arrived on time and explained what would take place and answered questioned we had about install and went to work. When install was complete they cleaned up everything, including any smudges on walls. Quite frankly if it wasn't for the fact we now had a new HVAC system you really wouldn't have know they were there. Before David and crew left he thoroughly explained the new thermostat and went over the new system so we understood them completely. At no time did I feel anyone from Rite Way was in a big hurry to get done and leave. I am a 70 yr. old disabled vet and it was really grate experience to deal with there folks

After the inspection of our roof top unit the tech told us we had a faulty cooling condenser unit as well as a failing fan. In addition he said we were down 4 units of coolant. The price he gave us for the repairs was $3400 and $3700 depending on whether we replaced the fan. On a 3 year old unit I thought that was pretty high since it was all labor and the cost of coolant. I asked the tech about the labor portion of the cost and he said it was $2600, the rest being coolant. Then I asked him how long the repair would take and he said about 5 hours. So they're asking over $500 per hour for repair labor. I then contacted 2 other independent HVAC technicians recommended by our neighbors. Both came out and after measuring the HVAC unit confirmed that it was in fine working order. I wouldn't trust Rite Way to do the actual work even if it was needed after this type of con.
Description of Work: We asked Rite Way to come over and check our 3 year old combo HVAC unit prior to the summer cooling season. We found them on Angie's List rated A so we thought they'd be a good choice

Clogged got opened. The only complaint is the advertisement that they have a camera that goes inside the pipe, but the guy that came didn't have one on his truck. If I am already paying for someone to open the pipe, I would like to know what is the condition of the pipe and see if the clogged area was just pierced or was actually got pushed forward.

I ordered and paid for it, but I needed repair sooner, so my son-in-law came and snaked out with a 20 ft. snake. That cleared it out, so it drained, but I kept my appointment because it sounded as if it would be more thorough as there was quite a lot of buildup, probably 20 years’ worth. However, he ended up using a snake similar to my son-in-law's but longer. I don't think he went in more than 50 ft. though. I thought he would do the camera inspection, but he said the filaments (or whatever) would get torn up in the smaller pipes of the kitchen and to run it through the bigger drainage would be a different problem, so it wouldn't be covered. Now I'm still afraid to use it much because I think there is still buildup in the line that will fill in again in no time. I said yes for would I hire again, but it is doubtful that I would.
Description of Work: Kitchen sink was not draining properly and plugged up regularly, anytime I tried to use the garbage disposal for something more than a couple of tablespoons of soft stuff.
