Description of Work: ONE OF THEIR PLUMBERS WAS SENT OUT TO INSTA A HAGAN DRINKING WATER SYSTEM. AFTER UNPACKING THE MATERIAL THE FIRST THING OUT OF HIS MOUTH WAS THIS: I'M NO GOOD AT FIGURING THINGS OUT....IN MY HOUSE, I ALWAYS GIVE IT TO MY WIFE TO PUTS IT TOGETHER. HE CALLED HIS BOSS (OUTSIDE), AT LEAST THAT'S WHO HE SAID HE CALLED AND CAME BACK IN AND SAID HE COULD NOT DO THE JOB AND DID NOT CHG ME ANYTHING. OK, I GET IT, HE HAD NEVER INSTALLED ONE BEFORE BUT DID NOT WANT TO HAVE SOMEONE TALK HIM THROUGH IT. TOO BAD....I'VE USED THIS COMPANY BEFORE AND ALWAYS FOUND THEM TO BE RELIABLE.

Description of Work: Had to replace a 50 Gal. water heater, as other identical units in this development -- of the same age -- had notably been failing, and the writing was on the wall for this one. Didn't want to wait until there was a catastrophic failure in the garage. And I did not want to go the el cheapo Home Depot model route: longer term reliability is important to me for something critical like this, and I'm willing to pay for it. | |As you probably know from their commercials and elsewhere, Anderson is one of the major plumbing services companies in this area. I've used plumbers that were more expensive, and that were cheaper; they probably fall somewhere in the middle. My impression is that they are very capable in their work. On their strong advice, I took this opportunity to replace the water (pressure ?) regulator with a new unit, at the same time. They matched a package deal price that they had been offering previously, even though it had technically expired months earlier. (My "B" rating on price should probably be more like a B+. I just seem to recall that others may have been offering this same model at a slightly better price.) | |At the time this was done, I signed up for a yearly service policy ($100.) that provides an annual flush and checkup on the water heater, plus offers a discount on any other work they may wind up doing for you. This was used in the first year, but I do not have any recollection of their contacting me about renewing this policy. |

Description of Work: I had several visits that month. One was for a leak under my sink which turned out to be a cracked garbage disposal unit. They quoted prices for several new models and the pros and cons of each unit. They had one on their truck so were able to install right away. I also had a problem with my hot water mixing with my cold and they discovered the problem where another plumber had not been able to.

Description of Work: I called to get a quote on my hot water heater to look at and replace. They told me they could not until they got ahold of the owner of the home. They are the only company that does this when I called around which really delays the process and my landlord is very hard of hearing. They finally got approval from the landlord to give a bid and the bid was extremely high so I used another service provider that saved over $800 and it works perfect

Response from Anderson Plumbing Heating & Air
First I personally thank this customer for taking his/her time to write this review. Every opinion is of great value to us. I personally review each so that we can continuously work to improve in all areas of our business practices. I also want to thank this customer for the B ratings in both professionalism and responsiveness. These grades are of great importance to us. We do check our pricing regularly with our competitors and will do so again after reading this review. We have found that our pricing is always very close to our competitors when comparing apples to apples. I will contact this customer to see if they will allow me to see what was installed and compare their pricing to what we provide. Was a permit and city inspection included? This is the law in State of California as protection to the homeowner. Did the installer offer the same warranty? We have some of the longest warranties offered on water heaters. Were peripheral parts replaced and not just the water heater? Some companies will do a simple change out without replacing water lines, shut off etc. We include it all. Was a water heater flush included? We include an annual return to flush the water heater and tune it up. Did you know that an annual flush and tune up extends the life of your water heater and will save on energy costs? Did the company used provide true 24 hour service? If the system fails for any respond, will they show up in the middle of the night or on a holiday to restore hot water? Was the technician certified, drug tested, a criminal background check performed? Was pedophile registry checked? I should also address the homeowner vs tenant comment. While we have great respect for the tenant and their wishes legally we cannot perform any work without he legal owner’s permission. With that said, we will always ask if the customer requesting service is the homeowner, if not, we ask if we may contact the owner and advise them of the request for service. This is a common practice in the home service industry and is greatly appreciated by the homeowner. We do work directly with the tenant is scheduling and performing the actual work since we understand and respect their time and availability. Mary Jean Anderson, President/Owner

Description of Work: Service tech cleaned out the drain pipe leading from kitchen sink to dishwasher. It took him 45 min to discover the problem. He was very thorough. I thought it might be less money since I had a 1st time user's Angie coupon. Not so. Was disappointed a bit by that.

Description of Work: I called or a quote for a 65-gallon electric water heater, including installation in my basement. Price quoted was $2698 -- outrageous! I wonder how they ever get any business. I rejected the bid out of hand and expressed my indignation at such a ridiculous price. I will never call them again for any work.

Response from Anderson Plumbing Heating & Air
Thank you for the mostly positive review, we're happy we could help you with your water heater. We agree we’re not your bargain-basement contractor, and that's because we provide homeowners more value and peace of mind. Our trucks are fully equipped to ensure your plumbing or HVAC issue is addressed the first time around. Additionally, we have the strongest warranties in the industry, and our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is iron-clad and in-writing, to protect our customers and ensure our services benefit your home for the long term. Our technicians are highly trained and we continue to provide on-going training on a weekly basis. The repair performed on your home comes with great liability. Working with gas can be very dangerous and one mistake can be detrimental to your home, so we carry $2 million in liability insurance to protect you and your home. We track our technician’s movements and our tracking shows that our tech was on this job for much longer than you mentioned. Please contact us if you feel this is an error, we will look into what happened immediately and see what we can do to resolve this for you. To further explain how our pricing works, we provide you with pricing upfront and in writing, prior to any work being done, and charge the same price for the same job to every customer. This way, you do not pay for the time of a technician who may be slower than another, gets interrupted by the dispatcher in the middle of your job, or when a job expected to take an hour turns into a four hour job due to unforeseen circumstances. No matter how long it takes to make sure your plumbing or HVAC issue is fixed properly and to code, you will pay one price and that does not change. Our technicians cannot overcharge onsite based on age, gender, the area you live in, or the car that’s in your driveway (which unfortunately some contractors have been known to do). Our flat rate pricing has been widely appreciated by our customers, since what each really wants to know is the bottom line cost for their repair. Thank you for your feedback! Owner/President Mary Jean Anderson
