Description of Work: Had them out to look at air conditioning unit and then for leaking shower. Both times the technicians arrived on time. They were professional and informative. They did not try to upsell and I believe we paid a fair price for services rendered. We will hire this company again.

Description of Work: They replaced a water feed line in a vanity sink. The plumber told me it would cost me hundreds of dollars to replace the valve in a faucet that I replaced for $31 from Dixieline. He also wanted to replace the faucets and feed lines in two other sinks that we are not yet ready to replace. You take potluck on who Bill Howe sends when you call for a plumber. Some are good, but some not so much. |

Description of Work: They removed old leaking water heater; provided us with a 20 gallon water heater while the work was being done; removed mold that had gotten into the walls; repaired the walls; rebuilt the foundation for the new water heater; installed the new water heater; worked closely with our insurance company and completed the job to our satisfaction. The only complaint we had was that it took two weeks to do everything.

Description of Work: I needed a dripping bathtub faucet fixed. I also needed the toilet "snaked" because after being flushed, the water would fill the bowl then go down too slowly. The technician, David, from Bill Howe Plumbing was great: he explained what needed to be done, the estimated cost, and then carried out the work efficiently and professionally. He explained what might still occur, and how he could do follow-up service if this happened. Then he'd give options and the pricing.

Description of Work: Replaced toilet gasket and fluid master unit. In advance I shared toilet model number so that proper gasket could be brought. Arrived late enough that local plumbing supply stores were almost all closed. Found gasket finally at Dixieline. Nice person, and knowledgeable. Just came late with wrong gasket. Price reflects 10 per cent Angies List discount.

Description of Work: Bill Howe Plumbing provided a free in home estimate. I was very impressed with the plumber who arrived. He was on-time, professional and thorough. He identified the correct cause of the problem, which required new hardware. It was not necessary to use Bill Howe plumbing to correct the problem, but I would have used them if it did.

Description of Work: Technician Laurence arrived on time. I was running 20 minutes late and he waited patiently for my arrival. I described the problem with my air conditioner. He examined the A/C system and quickly diagnosed the problem. He had identified that the capacitor was not functioning and replaced it. Her then started the A/C system and confirmed that it was working well. He also checked refrigerant level. I am very happy with the service provided and the professionalism of Bill Howe Technician Laurence. I would highly recommend Bill Howe Heating & Air. |

Response from Bill Howe Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning Inc
Hello. We would love to know more about when you tried to contact us. We have searched through our back end email database and have no record, have a live 24/7 operator and if you left messages with our answering service, one of our representatives should have returned that call next business day. If you messaged through Angie's List, we have no record. They also would have noted it with you address (if that was provided in the message) but we have no record of you in the system. We would greatly appreciate your assistance to make sure that we are not experiencing a technical difficulty. All of our contact methods are operational, but if there is a glitch, we would need more details. Thank you, Julie
