The man came from Kokomo and arrived on time. I explained what I wanted and that I was getting estimates from three different companies. I wasn't sure if I would finance or pay it in full. He spent no more than 10 minutes at my house, measured and wrote down my email address. He didn't sit down with me to discuss options I wanted. He never gave me a business card. AND he never sent me the quote to my email address. I checked my email daily including my spam and no quote was ever sent nor any follow up phone call from his company. Needless to say, I will never call them for anything nor recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: I had an appointment for a quote on a new furnace, air conditioner and water heater.

Time from call to hot water was 9 hours on a Saturday. They did a great job working with the quirks of a 72-year-old house. Very professional; cleaned up and removed all items; adequately prepared for job. Others tell me that the final price was high, but I feel that you get what you pay for (generally). Added two items to service at my request (directly related to water heater). Excellent in all respects.
Description of Work: Installed a new 40 gal. tank water heater (gas) with new flue pipe, stand, and new valve on fill pipe.

I don't believe I will use B and W Plumbing again. The service call was $118, which would have been reasonable if actual work was performed.
Description of Work: Our 7 year old sump pump was not running. They were very quick to respond to my service request and extremely polite over the phone. The technician was punctual; visually inspected the pump with a flashlight and stated it was bad and needed to be replaced, not once actually touching the pump. He did kick the pipe a couple of times, I guess in effort to get it going. The quote came in at approximately $500 for the new pump. Due to the cost, I had another company give me a quote. During their physical inspection, they found some corrosion on the floater ball, cleaned it, and the pump worked properly.

Everything was fine on installation. They came out very quickly. I requested an itemized bill, but when they were leaving they did not provide one. My wife asked the technician for an itemized bill, but he said they don't do that. When we called the office we got the same response. This leads me to question their honesty.

Response from B & W Plumbing Heating And Air Conditioning Co Inc
It is our goal for the customer to know the price before we start the work. In order to achieve this goal, we have utilized flat rate pricing for over 15 years. We provide the customer the price for the whole repair or installation before we start the work. This gives the opportunity to the customer to accept or refuse the repair based on the price given. Mr. (Member) contacted B&W on the morning on January 20th with a no hot water issue and that the water heater was leaking. He believed it was a 40 gallon power vent water heater. Our Licensed Plumber arrived at the (Member)’s home at 12:15 the same day. It turned out the water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. The water heater was actually a 50 gallon power vent not 40 gallons as first described. The plumber gave the standard installation price of $1916.75 but would not exceed $2000.00 due to gas lines and vent pipe for other equipment that needed to be removed and reinstalled to access the leaking water heater. The price was accepted before we proceeded. The total price for the installation was $1971.21. The (Member)’s took advantage of TWO discounts: a $10.00 off for submitting online and a $25.00 off Angie’s List discount, bringing the total price to $1936.21. Mr. (Member) wants an itemized bill to determine if the changes are reasonable and fair. Mr. (Member) received same-day service from a local company that served the community for over 50 years. A licensed plumber came to his home, verified that the existing water heater was leaking and checked to see if the water heater had additional warranty remaining. The plumber gave the above quote and Mr. (Member) agreed to the price prior to the work. Our plumber professionally removed the old water heater correctly installed the new water heater. New drop cloths and shoe covers were used to protect their home and the plumber cleaned up when he was finished. The customer also received a 6 year Labor Warranty from B&W to match the manufacturer’s 6 Year Part and Tank Warranty. After the work is complete is not the appropriate time to debate the price. We feel strongly about this and is why we give the price before we begin. We know that most of our customers call us when an unforeseen issue arises and no one wants to have a surprise expense. The customers always have the ability to shop the price. We hope that our customer see value in our experience, reputation, responsiveness, professionalism and care on each job.

Heat went out on Sunday, called Monday and told them we needed work done, but not an emergency due to weather being above average. I received a call about 8:00 a.m. the next morning and set up appointment with Dave for between 12 and 3. He said they would call when about half hour out or so, which he did. Then, John, the tech called as well. John showed up around 2:00p.m. John was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He seemed to know what was wrong from my very brief and elementary description. He went to work immediately. Unfortunately, he didn't have the part on his truck that was needed, so he had to make a trip to pick one up. Once he got back, he was right back on task. When he had the transformer on the air exchanger fixed, he couldn't get it to come on and then realized that our thermostat had been fried. Again, he didn't have the necessary part. He did give us the option of going out and getting one ourselves, but we decided to go ahead with the quote he offered us. He left to go pick up the part needed. Again, upon his return, he went straight to work on it. He did an excellent job and he had to make numerous trips up and down our basement stairs between the air exchanger and the thermostat in the living room to get the exact calibration. We were very pleased with his overall job. My only complaint(and it's not really a complaint, just couldn't think of a better word) was that he had to leave to get parts. I understand they can't carry every part for every type of furnace, heat pump, plumbing job, etc. We really felt bad for the guy, because he had to leave twice to pick up parts, which made the call even longer for him! Considering the length of time he spent on our call and the professional and friendly way he handled everything(including our small dog) we couldn't have been more pleased. we would certainly recommend B & W to anyone. For the length of time he spent working on the furnace, making trips to get parts and running up and down the stairs, we really got our moneys worth of service.
Description of Work: John realized almost immediately that we had a blown transformer in our air exchanger. After returning with the part to fix it, he couldn't get the furnace to turn on and realized that the thermostat was bad as well. He was very knowledgeable and seemed to have a good idea of what was wrong from my very inadequate explanation. He seemed to think there might have been a power surge, which we don't remember, but it could have happened we weren't home, that fried the transformer and the thermostat. John replaced the transformer and the thermostat once he had the parts with no problems whatsoever.

I was impressed when Plumber Dave called on the phone to say he was on his way. Plumber Dave reviewed my problems and began to work on them. Tightened the faucet and advised that the pull-out sprayer just needed a vinegar treatment to remove the lime build up. Plumber Dave worked on the disposal and removed a penny and a plastic ring. Plumber Dave turned it on and it worked perfectly.

B & W Plumbing Heating And Air Conditioning Co Inc I called B & W, because my heat pump had blown up, so then I had no heat. They were a distributor of the type of heat pump I use. I had called them at 2:00 am in the morning and they actually answered the phone and was here by 7:00 am in the morning to repair the problem. He had worked on it all day so I had some heat, he had to order the parts and came back the next day to finish. I think they are a good company! They are coming out tomorrow for annual check up, and I am going to renew my contract with them.

They came out asap and replaced the old sump pump with a new better one, He gave us many options of different types and warranties and I believe we chose the middle ground. He was very friendly and helpful. He wore booties on his shoes and took them on and off each time he had to go in and out. I thought that was really thoughful of my floors. He cleaned up after himself and was done in a couple hours. Great service, quality and we are very happy with the job. We would use them again.

Contacted B&W based on positive Angie's list reports and a positive service call two months ago. Mike showed up as scheduled at 8:30 AM. Work took about two and a half hours. Everything looks good. Had Mike do the water jacket fixture becase these pipes will be behind new kitchen cabinets that would be difficult to remove. He suggested the approach and it seems sound. Nice work. Plan on having B&W do the new sink install when needed.
Description of Work: Uninstalled Kitchen sink in peninsular island, cut water and waste pipes back to wall and prepped for future new sink install. Installed new fixture on outside water jacket to enable repair from outside. Installed new toilet handle.
