He was on time, clean, efficient, helpful. I bought a new handle. It was not the right one and he was nice enough to trade it out for me with one he had that was right.

Saturday morning, pipe under kitchen sink burst, water everywhere, rugs floating, wood floor getting soggy. I found Ideal Plumbing in my latest Angie's monthly booklet. Originally I was told that they would send someone in 3-4 hours. As I was speaking to Natalie (I think that was her name) she said that an appointment just opened up and they could have someone at my house in 1-2 hours. Tom arrived, surveyed the situation and repaired/replaced the burst pipe. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the employees of this company, and would not hesitate to contact them in the future for any plumbing needs that may arise. Great company!

I didn't end up using them.
Description of Work: I had planned to put central heating and air and upgrade my electrical panel in my new home. It did not have any heating or air so they would have to install brand new ducts and cut in for vents. I wanted to use Ideal because I was hoping they would be able to do both projects for me. The bid for the heating and air came back right away, but I had issues with the electrical quote. He came out to take a look at what I needed and was very helpful but I had a heck of a time getting a response back after that. I ended up getting a bid in the mail almost 2 weeks later, but not for the work I wanted. He came back out and we re-discussed everything and I again waited for a new quote. But this time I never received anything. So, after phone calls and emails went unanswered I gave up and used a different company. It's unfortunate because I was set to go for both projects. I understand if they are busy and wouldn't be able to do the project for a while, but I wasn't told anything. If that were the case they could have told me it would take X amount of time to get a quote back. Apparently they didn't need my business. I could have just used them to install the heating and air and found someone else to do the electrical, but I think if the company is hard to get a hold of for one thing there's a good chance they'll be hard to get a hold of for another. The last thing I want is to spend 15 to 20 grand on new systems and then not hear back from them once they have my money. It ended up working out better for me. I took the quote I got for the central heating/air installation to the other company I used and they beat Ideal's price and gave me a more efficient system.

After I explained the rapid rate of leaking, Ideal plumbing took care of my problem within 48 hours or less. I'm very happy with the results. I trust them with their ability and their cost was reasonable considering the time and extra labor required in capping off the old system. They were clean and pleasant to deal with.
Description of Work: I had a very leaky water heater and holding tank. My old solar hot water system had been failing for some time. Now it became urgent as the water heater was continually leaking. I called Ideal plumbing and explained my situation. I had been checking into a electrical tankless water system to replace the very old solar water system. They connected me with an experienced person and confirmed what I had been told by another plumber, that the electrical tankless system was not as good as a gas one. I explained my situation of having this older solar system that was breaking down and whether I could get a regular water heater installed, but also disconnect all the pipes and two tanks removed. I was quoted an estimate over the phone of $1300. The plumber that came out spent three or more hours disconnecting and replacing my solar hot water system with a 50 gallon water heater. It was done very nicely. Everything was sorted out, capped off, new water heater installed, and tested.

They were okay. They went really quick. They had to tap on my fuse box; they did not mess anything except they disconnected something else. My hot tub was running in use, but it was just not completely clear. I just do not know if I would use them in the future.

Great work. Very professional. Price seemed way to high though. I had two jobs and used them for the first, but their quote for the second seemed extremely high. I'm happy with the work they did for the first job, but I ended up using a different company for the second job that did it for less than half the price.

I still love the final result, which I attribute to their excellent communication skills as well as the quality of their products and services.
Description of Work: I first started with Ideal for toilet replacement. They gave very good service and used excellent quality products. Later my AC gave out in the middle of a heat wave, and they were able to give me a time certain appointment and fix an older unit quickly. When I moved to a new place, they were the ones to help me remodel both a bath and kitchen as well as upgrade much of the electrical.

Called to purchase toilet and set up installation date. Gave the company the exact model number of the toilet I wanted. The company said they could have it the next day and we agreeded upon a price. I sent up an appointment for installation. The next day the company called and said it would take 2 to 4 weeks to get the toilet. I said ok I was not in any hurry. Michael from parts said one more thing is that it is going to cost an extra $140 more over the price we agreed upon. I said I will have no canel if they cannot live up to the agreeded upon price. I order the exact same toilet on line from one of the big box stores. It arrived so I thought I would give Ideal plumbing one more chance, so I set up an appointment for installation. On the day of installation they called and wanted to arrive an hour early. I said ok as I had shut off the water to the house and emptied the toilet of all water. The plumber arrived and seemed irritated that I had already started work on the toilet. The plumber was unwilling to use the new parts I had already bought from one of the big box stores. Said his were better but they looked exactly the same except the price was 2 to 3 times higher. The plumber was uncooperative and unwilling to do the job the way I wanted it done. The plumber removed the toilet and put it on the back porch. It is normal to put a rag into the open sewer line to prevent things from falling in while they remove the old wax ring and also to prevent sewer gas from coming back up. He refused to put a rag in the sewer line. The toilet flange has a small chip out of it which could be easily repaired with the spanner flange I had purchased. He said his boss would get mad at him if he used the spanner flange. He wanted to go under the house and cut out the toilet flange and install a new one. I was unwilling to do this so I had to ask the plumber to leave. He presented me with the bill for $150 and I gave him a $15 coupon. I wrote a check for $135 and gave it to him. He wanted me to sign his invoice. I said no and why would I want to sign that? He said it proves that you paid. I said my check would do that. At that point I asked him to leave as the job was done and he had been paid. He would not leave and he insisted that I sign his invoice. I advised him to leave in no uncertain terms and advised him that if he did not leave I would call the sheriff. He finally left. I installed the spanner flange and cleaned out all of the debris that had fallen into the sewer line and completed the installation. Toilet works great but unfortunately I have to send it back and order another one because the bowl is linen colored and the tank is bone colored. Will put the next one in myself and save a big headache. I think a lot of these companies write their own reviews. As another reviewer stated it is funny how when these companies get a poor review almost immediately they will get a great review from a new member or a member who has only 1 review.

Response from Ideal Plumbing Heating Air Electrical Inc
Dear Member, First, let me sincerely apologize for the delay in responding to your posting. I have now reviewed the issues and I feel I can add some perspective with a thoughtful response. Doing a job right is important to avoid liability and unhappy consequences in the future. This is why we often decline to use some owner supplied parts and available quick fixes like your spanner flange. Professionally, that is viewed as a temporary fix. If the spanner flange fails it could cause water damage to surrounding wood sub floor and floor covering. I apologize regarding the way my technician may have approached the subject of why we prefer to not use some products. Our technician should have remained professional and courteous regarding these regrettable circumstances. When people hire us there is generally an implied understanding we are there to do for them what they can’t do for themselves. As a licensed professional we or obligated to inform a customer of codes, certain jeopardies, improper fixes and unsafe practices. This can sometimes come across that we are reluctant to provide you the level of service you are asking for. We should have asked you to sign a damage waiver and proceeded as you requested with your parts and the spanner flange. Again, I am sorry for this misunderstanding. If you have any questions, please contact me at (619) 583-7963. Sincerely, Don Teemsma, Jr., President/Owner

We have a fairly high-end and new furnace and air conditioner. We have a six month service contract with them. We used them for plumbing issues. We also used them for vent cleaning. They also energy proofed our attic. They've done pretty much everything for us over the past few years. We don't call anyone else. We call them. They're pretty incredible. When I have something urgent, they show up within a half hour. They do a phenomenal job, and they're reasonable. I've never seen a better company. The quality is perfect with anybody I had. They're nice people too. You can see that they're extremely well trained or factory trained for what they do.

The inspection was thorough but it didn't result in an estimate. I communicated what we wanted and was disappointed that we did not receive the bid we had requested.
Description of Work: After we closed escrow we were soliciting bids for extensive plumbing work. As a result of a physical inspection we were strongly advised to replace the cast iron sewer lines. I called for an estimate. I was told there would be a $59 charge for an inspection which I gladly agreed to. At the same time they would send a remodel estimator. The two gentlemen arrived and I accompanied the technician for the plumbing inspection which was our priority. We were provided a thorough plumbing profile. I specifically asked about when a proposal would be generated. The technician did say the rate was $98/hour but he would send the proposal in a matter of days. I called twice about the bid. Providing an hourly rate without any indication of estimate of hours does not constitute a bid. We never received a bid though that was the purpose of the inspection. We did however receive estimates on remodeling the bathrooms.

Response from Ideal Plumbing Heating Air Electrical Inc
Thank you for reporting your experience. We want happy customers, and your feedback lets us know how we can improve. I spoke with the member and apologized that our company failed to provide a timely proposal. As a business owner I do care that our customers get the services they are asking for in a timely manner and without unnecessary phone calls and delays. I spoke with the plumber and he too feels bad about what happened and sends his apologies. This incident has caused me to reflect on how this can be avoided in the future so someone else isn’t unhappy with our services. We refunded the plumbing inspection cost of $59.00. I hope we may have an opportunity in the future to show you service excellence from Ideal. Sincerely, Don Teemsma, President

Joe, the V.P. of Operations, gave me an estimate for the work and was responsive to all my questions and concerns. Plumbing technicians were friendly, professional and on time. Very satisfied with service. Amazed that Rob, the main plumber assigned to the project, could perform all that work in our tiny crawlspace. We would definitely select Ideal Plumbing, Heating, Air and Electrical again for any future plumbing repairs.
Description of Work: Three old metal drain lines were changed out to ABS for two bathrooms. Bathroom sink drain was cleaned out. HVAC ducts were reconnected in the crawlspace. Old lines leading out to the street were video camera inspected. Source of some standing water in crawlspace was correctly pinpointed.

I called Ideal based on Angie's List and family referral. Given that we had cold showers, I was grateful they were able to come out the same day I called. The repair was quick and efficient, the serviceman was pleasant and not over-bearing like many I've dealt with in the past. As with all "small" repairs, the service charge seems too high (the bigger the repair, the less the cost bothers you since it's the same). However, I don't rate Ideal down for that because I'd expect roughly the same from anyone else (roughly $100 for the call), they have a 40 min. round trip from their office, I get it. Otherwise, no complaints and I would use them again.

Central quoted us over $1800 to replace our water heater, and suggested we spent over $500 to another company to deal with possible water damage. We called around and found several other companies charging $1050-1150 for the heater installation, and went with them. We don't know whether Central's heater would have been a lot better, but disliked their pushiness in wanting to do the work straight away and offering no options. They were very prompt and no other problems. We'd had them in the past and felt overcharged for previous work, so were a bit more cautious this time. Their previous work had also been of fine quality and apart from their pricing, their plumbers were nice, tidy and decent.

We provide pricing up-front with no surprises so customers can decide if they want to work with us or not. We acknowledge that we don't have the cheapest prices in town but believe we offer the best value by providing quality professional services along with a 2 year warranty on all of our work. We have a responsibility to the clients we service and we only do complete and quality work; we do offer our clients options but don’t make partial repairs. We pull permits on all jobs when required by law and it is required on water heater installations in the City of San Diego (other companies might say they are not required but you can call the City to confirm this) and that was included in the prices you were quoted. As far as the water damage, it is in a homeowner's best interest to take care of this properly and make sure they don't have future mold issues. Again, we have a responsibility to our customers to make recommendations based on our experience. Roland Harman, President.

Called to buy a furnace but the person who answered advised me that I needed to get a load calculation before they got involved in an estimate. She said it was state law, Title 24. She recommended I call a home services company to do it and then call back. I called three other companies and all of them did the load calculations so I did not have to go to an outside company for it. I ended up buying my furnace from an A rated company on Angie's list.

Response from Ideal Plumbing Heating Air Electrical Inc
Central Plumbing, Heating & Air follows the Title 24 Laws in the State of California for Energy Conservation. Please note that it is our policy to have load calculations done by a third party and all testing required in Zone 7 and Zone 10 by the same third party, as required by law. These are required to pull a permit on furnace or a/c replacements or new installations. We can't comment on other companies' business practices, but this is our policy as we stated up-front over the phone. We find it very hard to understand why someone would choose to give our company a negative review because our policies are to follow the law and do things legally to protect the consumer. In addition, the only contact she had with us was one phone call and they didn't use our services. We assume the A rated company she did use is pulling the required permit. Roland Harman, President.

Sunday sink drain clogged, called for an estimate to clear the drain. A simple running a snake down the line. Baird plumbing will do it for $20, but they don't work on the weekend. Spoke to Audrie who connected me to technitian, Howard. Both were very quick in getting back to me and very professional. The only complaint I have is that I was quoted $125 just to show up, and then $268 to run the snake. Almost $400. Even with Sunday, double time, that is a little extreem. I then called Bill Howe, who quoted just under $200 for the same work -I also got a window of 3-6pm on a 2:45pm call. We'll see if the estimate blows up with the work.

Thank you for your review. We are glad the contact you had with our staff was positive. With regard to the pricing, we provide pricing to customers up front out of our flat rate pricing book, there are no surprises and customers can make the decision if they want to use our services or not. We do quality, complete repairs and offer a 30 day warranty on drain stoppages and 2 year warranty on repairs. We are available 24/7 for emergency services. We pay our technicians overtime for work outside of regular business hours and so obviously we charge higher rates for work done during those times. Thank you, Roland Harman, President.

Quick response on the phone, professional staff who came, good followup from management.
Description of Work: Ideal installed a gas line from my current supply line to the kitchen, so I could install a gas stove. They were prompt & professional. They also sent out a separate employee to add the electrical outlet I needed for the gas stove. They probably could have cleaned up a little better in the basement after crawling around in there to install the line, but it's not a public area of the house so I didn't have a cow. I also used them about 2 weeks later to fix a toilet that leaked / overflowed and they did a good job on that.

Their price was very reasonable. It was a situation where we had a leaking pipe behind our dishwasher and the workman from Ideal managed to locate the leaky broken pipe. Although it was not really inside he figured out where it was. He had to go outside the house and knock a hole in the stucco wall outside. In fact, he had pinpointed the leak and he had scheduled out for inside work. He perhaps knocked a big hole in the wall with my permission. He told me that he can't guarantee if there was anything there, but he thought it must be right there and asked me if I wanted him to go ahead. I agreed and after taking the location of the broken pipe and after knocking a hole in the wall, he managed to repair the pipe and stop the leak. He did a pretty good job. We were very pleased. He was outstanding all the way down.

I called and the appointment was in a reasonable time. The serviceman arrived on time, clean, professional. Didn't laugh too hard at my attempt to fix it. The house is marble through out and he was careful about moving the washing machine out of the cubbyhole to repair. He gave me information specifically about front loading washers (use of product to clean with, bag small items...). Worth the $130. afterall.
Description of Work: While preparing for an open house, I noticed the front loading washer smelled. I had already cleaned it with a "professional" rinse and it did not do the trick. Taking the washer apart, I reached a "you've gone to far point" as the rubber from the door to the washer requires a special tool to undo. I called Ideal. $130. later, I was schooled on front loading washers. Although the washer and dryer were installed by the company I bought them from,washers move. A front load needs to be "tipped" toward the drain, otherwise water pools and gets to smelling. Previously, a pair of underwear stuck in the drain had created the same thing: lesson: small items in a lingerie bag. The new owners got a great washer!
