Description of Work: Just moved into a new home and found the heat was not working. The temp. outside hovered around 30 degrees. I called them out of the blue and they dispatched a driver who arrived within 30 minutes, replaced a faulty switch on the furnace and solved the problem. The driver was smart and professional. We will use them again for sure.

Description of Work: Just before one of the coldest days on Cape Cod in 2015, I realized that my furnace wasn't working. I figured out that the pilot light wasn't lit, and after trying unsuccessfully to relight it I started looking for help. | |I had used Riedell Plumbing before for a minor plumbing issue soon after we moved here, so I called and asked if they handled furnace work too. The answer was yes, and they had someone who could come right over. Less than 20 minutes later, the problem was diagnosed as a failed thermocouple and the part was replaced soon afterward. | |The cost of the service call seems a bit higher than I've been used to after living in Maine for a decade, but perhaps it's par for the course on Cape Cod. Given that we had heat again while the temperature outside was dipping down toward 0F, I'm not going to complain too much!

I called their after-hours emergency number and gave them the error code my furnace was blinking. They sent a manager who tried and failed to fix it (he also said the whole system may need to be replaced). The next day a real tech came over. This tech was really knowledgeable and thoroughly troubleshot the problem, got it hobbling, and ordered replacement parts. the parts took about a week to arrive and by that time the system was failing again. When the tech came back with the parts he fixed it in short order.

Overall, I would highly recommend them and ask them to wear their booties (which they used to do). The money spent refers to our total expenses over the years.
Description of Work: We have used Riedell for plumbing, heating, air conditioning etc. since about 2005. They have always been courteous and prompt and have done what appears to me to be excellent work. They have been our plumber on two bath remodels. We only have had one complaint in all that time and it was with out last bathroom remodel. They had to install a new bathtub and I was absent from the premises at the time. The walls going up the stairs were all scraped and will require another paint job to fix. Apparently the tub was large and this may have been unavoidable....just do not know. They also arrived to install the toilet and faucets when I forgot they were coming. I explained to the plumber that the new tile floor was not sealed yet and they needed to be very careful. They did not use a drop cloth and the grout was dirty when they left. We had to re-grout. They have installed a new furnace for us and all went well. They took the time to explain things to us. Riedell also upgraded our radiant heat and did a great job, explaining that our insulation was not installed correctly. Their was a water filtration system in the house when we purchased it. They tested our water for us and determined that we really did not need the filtration system. This service was free and suggested by them

the person responding to my call was polite, and they cleaned up after themselves, even going so far as to replace the things I have stored under the sink. I had them on the floor next to the sink, and was surprised to find them put away for me. They explained what was needed, but they had to leave my home to go to a wharehouse for the part.

Called Riedell for a gas pipe install and had someone over within a couple of hours. The rep came over, went into the crawl space under the house (which was pretty dirty and had difficult access) and gave me a estimate for the work. Very professional. I hired them for the job and the install went quickly, without any issues, and came in well below the estimated price. They arrived exactly when they said they would, and did excellent work
Description of Work: Ran new gas line in crawl space for new fireplace.

We noticed that we were getting no cold air through the vents in the upper part of our house, which is cooled through a unit in the attic. I called this company and they were able to send someone over right away, which was terrific as we were planning on leaving town that evening. They came very quickly and diagnosed the problem. In the winter, we had shut many of the vents into our family room to direct more hot airflow into our son's bedroom. However, that meant that there was not enough air movement for the air conditioner output, so the condenser had frozen up. They let me know that there was a problem with the drip tray under the unit, namely that we didn't know we had one up there and were supposed to empty it. It did not have a drain or an automatic shut off valve, and was full. Had the condenser thawed and dripped water into the already full tray, it likely would have resulted in a leak in our ceiling. They installed the auto-shut off valve so the unit can't turn back on if the drip tray is full, then came back twice to see if the unit had thawed enough for them to make sure there was no damage. Based on the hourly price I was quoted, I was expecting the bill to be between $400 and $500; instead, it was about $250. I will be calling them for all my plumbing, heat and cooling issues from now on.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problem with our air conditioning unit, installed auto-shut off valve for drain tray to prevent condensation from leaking through ceiling, and confirmed that the unit was working correctly once the condenser thawed out.

Every person in the company that's been to my house has been very professional and good to work with. They are very good at telling you what you need to do versus what you should do. They don't try and over-sell. When my boiler was initially leaking, the on-call person took several phone calls from me to help reduce the severity of the issue so we didn't get hit with a weekend call. Then the company was sure to be out the next day. Currently looking at using them for a new heater/hot water unit. The sale person that came over for the site survey was very informative and provided us with several options to choose from - and didn't over-pitch the pricey-est ones.
Description of Work: I've actually had these guys out a few times over the last two years. They've helped fix a leak in my shower initially, but most recently fix a leaky valve on my boiler.
