Overall, so far, it went fine. He was later than anticipated in arriving but had called to let us know he would be late. The gentleman was very professional and pleasant. He explained in detail everything he had done, what needed to be done, etc. The outside fire pit logs were not inoperable as it turned out - this was a case of "operator error" on our part. However, having it cleaned was a good idea - and I knew from the beginning what the charge would be for this. He also told me some things about the inside fireplace operation that I didn't know. With the jacuzzi tub, he tried to fix the problem but this turned out to be stripped screws - even though the tub is only 4.5 yrs old and had been fixed by the builder (which is probably when the screws were stripped). We don't use it that often and this shouldh't have happened already but it did. He told us that we had a couple of choices and gave us reasons behind these , what he would do, and discussed all this again with my husband so he could make an educated choice. My husband chose to order the parts which we are waiting for.
Description of Work: 1.The fawcet in our jacuzzi tub wasn't working. We could turn the cold water on but possibly not turn it off. It had been repaired, supposedly, by the builder several years ago. The plumber from Heidler took it apart, cleaned everything, discovered that the threads had been stripped and needed replacing. He gave us the different options for permanent repair as well as fixed it temporarily. The part had to be ordered and he had his company send us an estimate for the part and installation. We are waiting for the part to come in. 2. He also inspected and cleaned the outside firepit gas logs. They had not been working. After cleaning the line, he showed me how to work the ignition correctly and explained all he had done. He also checked the inside gas fireplace - which was fine.

Heidler was our plumber of choice from 1997, when we bought our house, until we moved, 13 years later. Their service was exemplary - punctual, professional, and ALWAYS finding the source of a problem. The installation of the waterless hot water heater took exactly as long as had been estimated, and cost exactly what the estimate read. It will save us money in electricity and water bills. We would recommend them to anyone needing a plumber and would gladly use their services again.
Description of Work: In the first years we owned the house, Heidler sent out an experienced plumber when one toilet was badly blocked. We thought it was an excess of toilet paper. He found a scissors stuck way down. They added a filter to the refrigerator and hooked up the sink's filtered cold water attachment in the kitchen. This year, 2010, they installed a waterless hot water heater before we turned the house over to our tenants.

After he fixed the valves, he checked if there were any other problems I had had that I hadn't specifically called about, and fixed the slow-filling toilet. Prices seemed reasonable; discount on 2nd valve. Also offered a maintenance contract that gave 15% off of all services, including the ones already performed; the 15% saved paid for 50% of the contract that day. Plumber was very polite, even offered to remove his shoes when he realized I had wooden floors. Very pleased.
Description of Work: $65 for the base fee; replaced the washer pressure valves; fixed the slow-filling toilet.

I received a call approx. 20 mins before the serviceperson arrived , to let me know he was on the way. He arrived on time. He was polite, professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything to me, and made sure several times that the unit was working and that I was satisifed with the work, before he left. The cost was reasonable-and much better then what we had been told previously. We will use this company again for any repairs, and for a yearly cleaning, and will recommend them to others .
Description of Work: Our gas fireplace was not working-we thought it needed a new part. The serviceprrson throughly cleaned the unit-found it did not need a new part-and that a switch that was supposed to be on was off. This was all that was needed to bring it back to working order. We had previously dealt with companies that wanted to replace the whole unit-or said that they would have to take the whole unit apart to replace this one piece-and it would cost a great deal. They never mentioned cleaning it.

Perfectly. The work was done quickly, on budget, and they cleaned up nicely.
Description of Work: Heilder came and re-routed some water pipes in the basement so that our separate MIL unit attached to the back of the house received treated water from the softener. They also removed an old, non-working pressure booster pump.

Both service requests went fairly well although I thought the kitchen sink work was too expensive. Heidler tends to charge a bit more than some other companies I've used. Both times I had the same plumber and that's really the key, this guy "Chuck" is good but I've found that the work varies depending on who is sent to do the job. Unblocking the sewage line also went well and the price was fair because it was an emergency request on a weekend when our line started to back up. Chuck worked for quite some time getting everything straightened out; I assisted him in fixing the connection in our front yard even though it was getting dark and pouring rain. Chuck never complained and was focused on doing a quality job in spite of less than ideal conditions.
Description of Work: I had two service requests over the past few years, if I remember correctly each one cost around $600. One was to have a blocked sewage line cleared out and the other was to have a kitchen sink worked on including replacing components underneath the sink and fixing the leaky faucet. The date listed is approximate and only for one of the jobs - I honestly cannot remember when I had this work done.

They were on time. Not only that, but their office called 10 minutes before they got there to say they were on their way. When they pulled into my driveway, they called the office to report they were here. Very polite and they liked talking about plumbing.
Description of Work: I had a variety of small problems - leaky facet, a sump pump in a crawlspace that wouldn't shut off, slow draining sink, etc. They a a large note book with STANDARD pricing. They tell you what it costs before they do the work. The master had an apprentice. He told him what job to do, asked him how he would do it, then added a tip or two. After the apprentice finished he went and checked his work. Meanwhile the master worked on another task and explained to me what the problem was.

Response from Heidler Inc
We saw your report, and wanted to look into this as we do not wish for you to be unsatisfied. We see that you paid a $49.00 service fee in 2007 for our technician to come to your home, and that unfortunately we were unable to resolve your well problem at that time. We also see that you had us perform a pipe repair in November 2009. We appreciate that you gave us another opportunty and have continued to use Heidler, Inc. as your plumbing contractor. We will be glad to waive our dispatch/service call fee on our next visit as a courtesy to you, and have noted your account accordingly. Sincerely, Kris Smith Service Administrator

Appointment date was timely. Tech arrived on time. Estimated what had to be done when he arrived. Turned out he couldn't just tighten the pipe that had a small leak. Instead, he said it had to be replaced. Thus, cost more that I anticipated. I got a call from the office on the day after service asking if everything went ok & was I please with the work performed.
Description of Work: Tightened toilet to floor; and replaced leaking pipe in bath sink. Both done as part of home inspection repair for sale of house.

My experience with them for this work was fine. We had issues with them on previous calls, but not on this one. Their service was at times excellent and at times very poor. They came quickly and the price was reasonable, but the service was all over the place. Some of the technicians that came out were excellent and some were not good at all. We went with someone else.

They are really professional and are very careful. They explain what they do and give good estimates. They are not as cheap as some other companies, but I don?t even bother shopping for prices any more. I just call them for any plumbing work that I have. I used their services for the first time many years ago. I had a hose faucet in the back yard which was leaking. I couldn?t figure out as to how to make it stop leaking. I didn?t know as to how to fix it in order to replace the washer. So the plumber from Heidler came out and showed me the faucet which was really old. It couldn?t be reused and they had to wind something around the faucet to fix it. There was no way in the world that I could have figured that out. They always clean up after themselves. I then had them replace my bathroom sink since the whole drain fell apart. They had to put in a whole bunch of parts because my house is 40 years old and it was built using the cheapest possible materials. They had to do several things including connecting the drain in a different way through a hole. I also had them come and fix a leaking toilet and the plumber worked on it for at least an hour. He fixed a system that still kind of works. I would also like to have them back to put in new toilets and wash basins in both my bathrooms. I am thinking of calling them to see if there is a tax rebate to install a tankless water heater. I have recommended them highly to a number of people. I also recommended them in my church when there was a water heater problem.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Heidler for plumbing work about two or three times now. Their last visit to my house was in November for installing grab rails for my shower. They have fixed a faucet for me, replaced a bathroom sink, repaired a leaking toilet and I also had them run a water hook-up to my refrigerator.

Steve Heidler was here less than a week after my husband's first call, to give an estimate on replacing our hot water heater and look at the location of the current one to see about removal. I asked if my husband had considered a waterless on-demand heater, and when the reply was negative, I asked for information. It sounded fabulous: about 2.5 times as much as the estimate for the tank type, but we will probably get a $900 rebate on our taxes for this year, and will save enough on water, electricity and gas over the next 2-3 years so that the HWH would pay for itself. It has a 30 year warranty, turns itself off if so much as a drop starts to leak. It's about the size of a carry-on suitcase. Steve and Shawn, the servicemen, worked from 9:15 AM TO 4:15 PM on the installation. When finished, they showed me every single valve in the system, and we labeled them. They showed me how to raise or lower the water temperature on the digital gauge. We went outside and looked at the air intake and output tubes. The men had a shop vac and left the furnace/water heater area immaculately clean. They were polite and professional throughout, explained when I had questions, and wore "booties" so as not to dirty the stair carpet. The HWH worked perfectly on the first day, and provides all the water we need for showers, clothes and dish washing. I have no idea why anyone would ever want the old kind of heater again!
Description of Work: Servicemen Steve and Shawn installed an on-demand, waterless NAVIEN hot water heater, removed the old, rusting tank and connected all the pipes, drains, gas line and electrical wiring.

Overall it went well. The company sent someone out very quickly. Because of the nature of this sort of plumbing problem, it is difficult to find where in the yard the condensate line ends. We were warned by the plumber that he might not be able to locate the end of the line that evening. Thankfully, my husband was home and was able to hear the line and spot where it ended and this was near the house. Not sure this would have worked without my husband there but the plumber was then able to finish the emergency repair. Good news! I was very happy that the company sent someone out at 8:30 at night. All worked out well and I thought the price was very reasonable for an emergency call.

I was not satisfied with him. Sometimes he sent people who knew what they were doing and other times he sent people who didn?t know much about plumbing at all. We had to have them come back because their initial work was not done satisfactorily. We had a maintenance contract with them for the faucet and so they did come immediately within 8 hours or less. That was an advantage, but once they got here they did not do a good job.

I had gotten estimates from several other companies but Heidler was the only one to actually give me a complete estimate for the entire project including not only framing and building the wall but optionally painting and tiling around the fireplace as well. They did an excellent job from start to finish.
Description of Work: Heidler installed a direct vent fireplace including building out a wall to do a flush mount, connected it to the gas line, and checked for proper operation. The wall itself was framed and wallboarded in one day and the mudding and finishing took place over the next several days.
