I found Heyrich & Co, sadly, to be surprisingly unprofessional and lazy in their analysis of a persistent leak from my shower. Heyrich's team had an 'pass the buck' attitude toward fixing the leak, blaming their inability to fix the leak on the tiling person that Heyrich himself recommended. In the end, I found Heyrich amazingly unprofessional, rude, and patronizing.
Description of Work: Repairing a leak from a shower apparatus that dripped into the basement.

Every time we have used Heyrich they have been very professional, quick to diagnose a problem, and highly responsive. Even though you may think the prices are slightly high the quality of the work is never to be questioned. We have used them for over 15 years on everything from installing new systems to maintaining existing systems and we have been very happy with their services.

Once scheduled, they arrived on time and did the various jobs essentially over two time frames. The shutoff valve job needed the outside water shut off by the town before that job could be done. The town was doing other jobs (draining hydrants) when the other three jobs were being done. Once available, it was done quickly on 10/29/2014. Through the winter, all items that they did worked without any problems.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen sink drain and strainer. Cleaned and serviced steam boiler. Installed new automatic water feeder and new low water cut off. Installed new shut off valves on incoming water system.

Ok, it's the afternoon of December 23, and we have 13 people arriving in 2 days for Christmas dinner and a broken oven. Must cook tomorrow. New oven arrives, but has no clearance to accommodate the existing gas pipe. I called the folks at John Heyrich, who we've been using since we moved here over 10 years ago, and they came to our rescue. Gas pipe in basement wasn't easy to access and re-route, but they figured out how to get it done. I'm greatly relieved and appreciative of their quick response. We've been using Heyrich now for a decade, and they are our go-to plumbers--always trustworthy, reasonable, nice, neat, responsive. And they remember us, know who we are when we call, which is a treat. Couldn't recommend more highly.
Description of Work: We had a new oven delivered, and it turned out that the gas pipe from the prior oven blocked the installation of the new one. The gas pipe had to be moved and oven installed.

The business is run by John Heyrich, and his son Rob and grandson Robbie are the guys you see most. Once you place a call, they call back right away, they're very, very nice, they try to keep the job cost efficient and they give excellent advice. I was a little bit of a pain because I scheduled this most recent job poorly, and they had to return several times. Each time they were supremely cheerful and kind and didn't seem to be at all fazed by the repeat visits. Big, big fan of John Heyrich plumbing.
Description of Work: Installed a dishwasher, and disconnected appliances, sinks and toilets for floor work being done. But we have used this provider for years for every imaginable plumbing need, including installing toilets, dealing with clogs, fixing leaks, etc.

Every job John Heyrich Inc has done for us over the years has been excellent. They have always been responsive, prompt, and very professional. Their time and cost estimates are on target ... they know what it will take, and how long it will take, and where permits are involved, about how long that will take. Having a house that is nearly a century old has its challenges, and they are very knowledgeable about plumbing and heating in old homes. The company has been in business in town for just over a hundred years and they know what to do, and coordinate very well with the town when the job requires a permit or other town resources. I would recommend them without reservation.
Description of Work: John Heyrich Inc has been my plumber for about 18 years. In that time they've replaced a steam boiler, a hot water heater, and done basic repairs as needed such as a new kitchen faucet, replacement valves, etc. A couple years ago they put in a french drain, sump and sump pump (and subcontracted installation of the dry well for the sump outlet). Most recently (last week) they replaced all the old brass water pipes in the basement (which were in pretty bad shape) with Pex tubing, and installed a water-based backup sump pump.

My hot water heater had started to leak but it was still under warranty from Sears. I originally had arranged for Sears to bring a replacement unit and pay $375 for installation. However, when the Sears dispatched plumber arrived with the unit, I was told that due to plumbing code changes, the upgrades of a grounding wire and wider flue would cost an additional $350. I told them to leave the water heater and go. I checked with various plumbers on Angie's list. One with lots of ?A? rated reviews quoted me $1500 to install the water heater which was already sitting in the basement next to the old water heater. Heyrich came over within one hour of calling him and gave me the price of $375. He said it would take about 90 minutes and he could install it the next day. The next day came, the work was done in 90 minutes and the old tank was removed. Considering Heyrich did the same exact work that the other 'A' rated plumber on Angie's list quoted for $1500 and Sears? quoted for $725, it was a tremendous savings. Sears hourly rate would have been about $500/hour and the other 'A' rated plumber?s hourly rate would have been $1000/hour. It just shows you should get multiple quotes and I have absolutely no complaints with Heyrich.
Description of Work: The old hot water heater was to be removed. The new hot water heater was to be installed and the overall system upgraded to the new code.

They responded quickly to our phone call for estimate, came on time, were clean w/ their work space, pleasant to talk to. They were polite & friendly, eager to answer questions regarding future plumbing/heating options to improve our energy comsuption. The plumber who came to do the work was 'family' to the owner & he represented the organization well. As a woman at home alone I was comfortable having them in the house without my husband in attendence.(also was not afraid of our dog)

They did perform service for us and it is ongoing. I can rate them excellent in terms of customer service and professional service. They are terrific and highly responsive. They are good; when you got good, you stay with it. They are honest and they are top of the line. In terms of punctuality, they are on it. We would continue to use them.

We have used Heyrich Plumbing for both plumbing and heating system repair for the past ten years or so. The last work they performed for us was to replace a sump pump the week of the March 2011 floods. Rob Heyrich came the morning of the failure and helped get the pump going sufficiently to get the water out of the basement and prevent further backup. The next day he sent an employee to replace the malfunctioning pump with a high quality pump. Afterwards, Rob was helpful in providing a report for my homeowners insurance company. I recommend John Heyrich Plumbing because of their responsiveness as well as the high quality of their work.

He was responsive. He did a very good job at a competitive price. It was not more or less, but it was fair. He fixed the furnace and some other problems like water in the furnace or something like that. I was the president of the board at that time. Since it was a nonprofit we got several estimates. We were very happy with him. I wasn't the person who worked directly with him, though. Our house and grounds person was the one who dealt with him. He was very happy with him. He was excellent in every way. We had a good experience with him and will continue to use him. He is a fine service provider. He says we are welcome to call him back if we have any problems with something. I don't have a single complaint about him. I would recommend him.

They were prompt and meticulous. I would use them again.
Description of Work: We had our boiler break down two nights before Christmas and the weather was cold! Plus our drains in the upstairs bathroom clogged the same day. John Heyrich Co. called us back the very next morning at 7 and arrived shortly thereafter. The father & son team was able to analyze and fix the boiler pretty quickly. They thoroughly explained what happened and what to do going forward. The clog was easy to fix for them. The next day I asked them to install an automatic water heater which they did.
