I was a little concerned with the cost. But the faucets look good. He tooks 60 dollars off for me. Everything is fixed.
Description of Work: I moved into a new place and didn't have running water. It was a major nightmare. He originally quoted me a price of 669.00, which did not include the fact I wanted new faucets in the bathroom and it it looks great.

It went very well. It took four hours to seal all my duct work. The gentleman was very professional. The only slight ding is in the beginning. The company did convey that there was a emergency service call. But that was an 1/2 hour after the appointment. They wound up being hour late. Luckily I am off work today. Just be mindful of the encounters that take place.

Walked into the utility room to see water on the floor and determined it was a leaking water heater. Checked Angie's List for plumbing companies open on Saturday. B&W came up and had Saturday hours. Called them around 9:30 or so and the receptionist said someone could be out between 1:00 and 3:00. Received a call from Randy saying he was about 20 minutes out and he arrived around 1:00 p.m. I had told the receptionist what size heater we wanted and she gave me a price on the phone. Randy had a replacement tank on his truck. He explained about the heater and since we didn't want to go all weekend with no hot water and possibly a utility room mess, we had him go ahead an install it. He removed the old one - laid down cloth runners and wore booties to protect our wood floors and carpet. By 4:30 he was gone and we had hot water. We didn't call around trying to get the "best deal" on a heater, but assume B&W is a competitive company since they've been in business so long and have good ratings. We just wanted the issue taken care of and they did it. Randy was very professional and we were totally comfortable with him. Thanks, again, Randy! We did use our $25 Angie's List coupon. They also cover their labor costs for the term of the heater warranty.

The experience I had with B & W's HVAC department was top notch. I called on Labor Day evening when I came home to an 83 degree house without AC. I spoke with their emergency service and, within minutes, was contacted by the manager Dave to schedule a service repair. The repairman made it to the house early the next morning but they did offer to come out that evening if needed. The AC unit is almost 10 years old, so I naturally worried that this could end up costing some cash or result in a new unit. I was relieved to learn the capacitor needed replaced. The repairman was awesome - prompt, quick, clean and thorough. We were up and running soon thereafter.

I called B & W and spoke with Chris who scheduled a repairman to come to our house in-between 3pm and 5pm to fix our garbage disposal. Chris was professional and flexible with our schedule. The repairman, Randy, and Chris both ended up calling prior to Randy's arrival to alert me that a project had run over which moved our service time to about 5:45pm. This was no big deal since we were at home for the evening. The work turned out to be a fairly minor repair as there was some clogging/jarred particles in the disposal which Randy fixed right away with a flashlight, a screwdriver and his hands. I ended up feeling like I could have done the work without spending a little less than $100 bucks...but better safe than sorry. Randy gave some good tips on how to clean the garbage disposal to prevent odor along with general upkeep info. I'm not sure how the total came up to what it did...repair vs. service call. Either way - it's fixed and it was painless.

During the very cold winter last January, one of the crawlspace doors had opened just to where it was ajar. It had exposed the master bathroom pipes and they froze. We called around and B&W was the only company able to come out and helpful. They were able to send a technician that day by noon. He did a wonderful job! He stayed with us and ensured that he got the job done, even in the cold and deep snow. He was excellent! We were so grateful that they were willing to come out on such short notice when no other company would come out.

Emailed B&W about leaking water heater. Chris called me within a couple of hours. We discussed replacement costs of going with tank or tankless. Scheduled tank replacement for the next morning. Michael called 30-40 mins prior to arrival. Did an excellent job. Used drop cloths on basement stairs and wore booties while in the house. He even put booties on the wheels of the dolly when bringing in new unit. He checked for gas leaks on all supply pipes, not just the one for the water heater. Left no mess. Very professional. Will use B&W for all future plumbing issues. I've used another company in the past and was not happy at all with them.

B & W is the one stop for plumbing. Over the past year they have installed a commode, replaced a water heater and cleared a floor drain. Everyone they've sent is good, but Plumber Dave is the best. They are professional, and punctual. Great to be able to call a local business.

Went to B&W's showroom to select the product. Had it installed the following day. Plumber called ahead and was on time. Knew we were going to pay more than buying at a big box store, however we wanted a professional job. That's what we got, so money well spent. Outstanding product and service. Had used B&W before for our water heater. Will use them again. 100% satisfied.

Called to schedule an appointment for the following day and both people I spoke with were very nice and helpful. Randy called me before going to my clients home as I requested, and he arrived 10 minutes early. He began clearing the pipe and it turned out there were multiple clogs. Randy went above and beyond to get the old pipes flowing again (he was covered in nasty water). Once everything was working again, the trap and components under the sink were in too bad of shape to put back together. We discussed the issue and he replaced everything for a reasonable price. I would definitely call Randy if I need a plumber in the future.

We have historically always used them. We have not had any complaints though we have been through all kinds of problems like water heater problems and plumbing problems. They come in the middle of the night or whenever we ask them. They don’t seem scary like the scary plumber at 4:00am. They haven’t had to come back for the repair. When the job is done it is done and the problem is fixed.
Description of Work: The only plumber that we use is B & W and we used them last for our latest leak during the winter when the pipes started freezing. It turned out that it actually wasn’t a frozen pipe but a hole in the pipe but they figured it out.

Excellent service, professional tradesmen, and QUALITY work.
Description of Work: Contracted for an annual furnace and air inspection. Original price for the service was $175 less my senior discount (5%). They ALWAYS do excellent work and with a contract, if anything happens during the year, you get first priority service plus 10% discount on pricing. I also used them when I first moved into my Condo to fix DIY disasters and re-route plumbing for a water softener and now am assured that I shouldn't have any pluming issues for quite some time.

All went well except for not having all supplies and the unexpected costs.
Description of Work: Minor plumbing. 3 shower handles needed reversal, tub diverted needed fixing, corrosion on pipe needed cleaning. Plumber did not have necessary items for replacing everything. I had to go purchase them and my husband put them on. I purchased a big deal thinking these things could be fixed for the $120, but had to pay $350 additional. Entire job only took about an hour and a half.

It went great. They came out and gave us a quote and came back out and did the work and it went real well.
Description of Work: We had B&W come out for duct work. They did plumbing too. We had some duct work relocated in the basement so that we can finish our basement and have a smaller bulkhead where the duct work and pipes would go. They had to disconnect an existing supply trunk, they had to install a ninety degree angle to put the supply trunk in between the floor joists. They had to extend a supply trunk five feet for the bulkhead. Reconnect all supply runs which entailed extend and shorten as required. They had to pump down an AC condenser so the refrigerant lines could be cut. They had to run a line set to be routed through future bulkhead and they had to adjust the refrigerant as required. It was pretty extensive.

Asked for information if they would be willing to work with us, a property management company, on pricing and estimates. I guess the receptionist didn't understand what I meant when I said I needed estimates before the work could be approved and was trying to send emergency plumbing teams to do the work that day. She failed to mention that they had a person that would do the estimates for free until the end of our conversation. I told her that that is what we would want and that we would have approval for the work generally around an hour or two after we received the bid. She informed me that I would need to send our company's credit information and I provided her with my email address to send the forms we needed. It has been over a week and I have yet to hear from them.
Description of Work: Nothing for us. We never received the forms for the credit information they requested.

Response from B & W Plumbing Heating And Air Conditioning Co Inc
July 16, 2014 [removed member name] Valorem Real Estate 10412 Allisonville Suite 208 Fishers, 46038 Dear [removed member name], I read your comments on Angie’s list reviews. I apologize for the miscommunication. I did send the credit application to [removed member email]. Is that the correct email? I had understood you were wanting a plumber that day. It was approximately 4:45 when we spoke. When you asked if we had plumbers available, I thought you needed service as soon as possible. The tenant information you gave me kept me on that same track. As you stated it was not until the end of the conversation I realized you only wanted a quote. I understood you to say you needed all work to be invoiced, and that is why I said we needed a credit application to set up an account. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I have been out of the office until recently or I would have contacted you when I did not receive the credit application back. It is never my intention for any customer to feel ignored or not valued. If there is an opportunity to redeem this situation, please let me know. Sincerely, Beth Rovazzini President B&W Plumbing and Heating Co. Inc. 2101 Cunningham Road Indianapolis, In 46224 317-243-3581

B & W gave us a quote to have the work done. They had to cut through the backs of two cabinets and deal with some issues that could not be seen to the time the quote was given. Much of the pipe was original from 1940. The job took extra time and required extra material, but they did not go above their quote, despite the hidden issues. They did a great job cleaning up as well. Wonderful service!

Service received on Saturday evening June 21, 2014, to replace water heater. Service was outstanding and professional. Great communication from Beth prior to service technician arrival. Randy installed the water heater and was professional. This is my first time using this company for plumbing needs --- and due to their customer service I intend on using them for future needs.
