Told plumber 5 radiators not producing heat, unable to bleed. Asked if I had auto bleeders- I replied yes. Asked him price, said it wouldn't be $99. Arrived 9:30am 11-13-07. Asked him to take shoes off or I would provide plastic bags to cover shoes. He balked at request. 1st thing, went to boiler w/out checking radiators. Any question I asked, he told me to let him think, put my question off. Was surveying pipes above boiler, talking out loud to himself, confusing. At one point explained other plumbers would stretch job out to 6 hours & charge $900. He said he had to the change feeder valve. Once done, checked radiators. 5 now working but bedroom baseboard radiator stopped working yet was best working one before. Presented illegible bill $543, less than 1 hr.work. Bled baseboard but it never got warm although he said it was. Next day called him to come back to fix. He bled until it was hot but got quickly cold. Said he couldn't guarantee it working.
Description of Work: 5 Radiators were not emitting heat. Plumber replaced a boiler feeder valve in under an hour. Had much trouble with him, couldn't fit in below. Asked him to hold check, to which he agreed till I transferred money but he didn't costing me fees.

Response from Perry's Plumbing & Heating Inc
I wore special new plastic booties made for the purpose of keeping houses clean. She wanted me to remove them & put on new ones every time I walked from room to room. My refusal to do this from the beginning was what prompted this complaint. No radiators in her house were getting heat. No need to check radiators. I went to the boiler. No pressure existed & it couldn’t be raised. I quoted her $500.00 to install a new feed valve. I drained the boiler. I drained the Expansion Tank. I then removed the bad Feed Valve. It was clogged with muck. I installed my new Feed Valve. I brought the pressure up to 18 lbs., (the gauge worked fine) & then purged out the air from all radiators in her house. I got heat up in all the radiators. Two days later she calls me up & tells me the radiator in her upstairs bedroom is cold again. I came back, & purged out about five 5 gallon buckets of water & got the heat going very strong in this section of baseboard. I spent another hour there. I did this at no charge to her. I explained to her that my installation of the Feed Valve corrected the problem of no heat anywhere in her house. If the heat doesn’t stay up in this baseboard, this problem needs more attention then I will give it, for the same price she was already charged. Contrary to what she said, I’m sure this problem in this one section of baseboard always existed. Plus, given the way she expressed herself to me, I told her I will never do any work for her again. She said she is reporti
