On time professional. Drained the water out of the water heater and said that was the cleaning. Looked under the sinks and told me that one of the drains was going to rust out in the near future. He pointed out an occaisional drip at the pressure relief valve in the primary water line by the pressure tank (Well system) Offered to fix it for $275. He didn't have the part on his truck, so it wasn't done and I didn't pursue it. It probably cost more than $49 dollars to drive out from Lancaster. Offered a service contract of some kind for a larger amount.
Description of Work: Inspected for water leaks and drailed the water heater.

The technician, Kevin Jones, did an excellent job. He was polite, professional, extremely clean and organized. The pipe was definitely giving him a fit (second story kitchen, rusty cast iron down through the basement). He tried to sweep it a couple times, but couldn't get it. Any other plumber at this point would have absolutely approached me about charging extra to go to the basement and get into the pipe from another location. He did not. He worked tirelessly for almost three hours until it was working properly. And at the end of the job......they charged me $99, exactly what was quoted. I have them now giving me a bid on a new HVAC system. I will call these guys for my next plumbing job.
Description of Work: I called Lancaster heating and Plumbing due to their advertised $99 clear any drain special. The kitchen sink had been backed up for a while, and drano wasn't doing the trick. Actually, a friend of mine had a drain snake and tried to clear it, but couldn't. I called these guys and they came out the next day.

The plumber, Aaron, was very professional and did a stellar installation job. He made sure I understood the system. I was further impressed that I received a phone call from the company informing me that Aaron was running late. This was my second interaction with this company and employee. Thumbs up to both!

.See above. The problem I had was was difficult to tell if I needed a plumber or a roto rooter guy. In the end, the roto guy wanted to break throught my foundation and redo plumbing that had worked for 40 years for thousands of dollars. I then called 3 other experts in and they all disagreed with him about doing something that drastic. I had the pipes cleaned all the way out to the street and now have no more problems.
Description of Work: Company was very responsive and did a good job in regards to cleaning pipes. My issue was more complex and they never were able to come up with an explaination for the cause of my recurring clogged pipe problems. The pipes clogged three times in 3 weeks. They did however, not charge me for 2 visits because they couldn't solve my problem which I thought was an excellent thing to do and showed me they have integrity and honesty. In the end, I think my plumbing problem was just a little over the heads of the plumber and rooter guy. I finally called in a private master plumber who explained my problem and disagreed with a few things I was told by them.

I prefer to use them when I have need of a plumber. The person that came out was knowledgeable, I was able to talk to him, and he was able to tell me things that I needed to know. He did something for me that he doesn’t normally do; he sent a camera down the line. He did that because it didn’t really cost him any extra in terms of time or effort. That was a nice little extra perk that I appreciated. He was able to show me what my line looked like inside and that gave me peace of mind. He told me what to do so that I don’t have to call him again. He was clean and I thought he was professional. He knew his plumbing but he also knew how to do customer service. I would give them B’s across the board. I don’t give anyone an A unless they need to hear it.
Description of Work: We use Lancaster Plumbing Heating and Cooling for plumbing. They had a special running for exactly what I needed at the time; I needed them to open up my main drain line to the house.

Very solid - Except for a steep price; however the positive result made the investment more than necessary.
Description of Work: My experience with Lancaster Plumbing and Heating was phenominal. Pricing was a bit high but well worth it for the quality of work and professionalism. From the office associates, to the services provided, to the follow-up. The service technician was knowledgable and competent to as he performed necessary work but more importantly left me details all along the way. I would recommend Lancaster Plumbing and Heating to friends, family and neighbors.

He came out and looked at everything. I was happy with the service however, the main reason I got the deal was because it said that they had a camera that went down to inspect the drain and that was included in the price. He stated that in order to do that they had to unbolt and remove the toilet to get a straight shot of the pipes because it didn't bend or go through small pipes. It would have been a $30 charge to remove the toilet. I later did my research and found the about 80-90% of homes do not have the appropriate venting pipes and it would require removing the toilet to use the camera. I didn't get the service that I thought I would of. He was really nice and very knowledgable about plumbing but overall I was disappointed.
Description of Work: We purchased a Big Deal through Angie's List for them to inspect our drains. I was having trouble with the toilets draining. They were draining very, very slowly. I felt there was something going on in the pipes.

Following minor confusion concerning the cost of the services requested, I was contacted by the operations manager of Lancaster Plumbing Heating and Cooling. He explained there was a misunderstanding concerning the cost of the services, he took responsibility, and said he would correct the situation through technician training. This is a refreshing example of extraordinary business leadership and customer service. He then said he would credit my account for the previous service call and would send a technician out to service my air conditioner at an extremely reasonable cost. The technician did so and was very efficient and courteous. Lancaster Plumbing is now the only service provider I will use for plumbing, heating, and cooling. I highly recommend them.

I'd have to say that the overall experience was so-so...I was scheduled to have the AC guy (Jake) arrive at 9:00 am, but he arrived at 9:30, I was also scheduled to have the Plumber (Alan) arrive at the same time, but he arrived at 10:00 am! Promptness was definitely a factor, and neither response fit the bill. They both provided good services but, I think I might have to consider another company in the future mainly because of their costs. To me, their services seemed a bit expensive! The Lancaster Plumbing and Heating $99.00 offer for the AC check I did agree to; no problem there. However, I think I'm in need of a second opinion as to whether or not I need the "recommended" parts for my central AC to run more efficiently (which would have cost me a few hundred dollars more). I also agreed to Lancaster Plumbing and Heating's $99.00 offer for the drain clearing but I ended up spending $525.00 for my main line to be cleaned (I think this is what's connected to the sewer line; it's the line that runs from my house to the city sewer line)! I expected to pay $99.00 for each drain to be cleared, including the main line. To me, this offer was misleading.

Response from Lancaster Plumbing Heating & Cooling
Dear Member, Thank you for your business and for taking the time to review your recent service calls. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee exact appointment times, except for the first call of the day at 7:30AM. If you were not scheduled for a 7:30AM appointment, then your appointment will fall between a window which is given to you upon scheduling with our Customer Service Representatives. We scheduled our sewer and drain technician to clear your main line at the special rate of $99, however upon scoping with a camera, our technician found further issues and in order to alleviate the issue the work went beyond a basic $99 drain clearing with a snake. Upon inspection, our sewer and drain technician provided an option to run a high pressure jetter at the rate of $525. All Lancaster Plumbing & Heating technicians provide up-front pricing, and must get the homeowner’s approval before proceeding with any additional costs. With up-front pricing, the homeowner has the option to decline the proposed work.

I would definitely use Lancaster Plumbing again! Well who wants to spend $625? It's the going rate and it was necessary. I've used 2 other plumbers and wouldn't hire them again. I would definitely use Lancaster Plumbing again!!
Description of Work: Cleaned slow drains, 1 at no charge, camera'd the main drain to find serious roots and the need to cut them out. They were cut out and the camera used again to see that they were gone. The plumber was very professional and informative!

He carefully installed the faucet at the sink and cleaned the tub drain. He could not install the tub faucet due to its location. This was disappointing as it was the primary purpose for the service. He explained why and we realized that it could not be done by anyone without ripping out the entire wall. Maybe in the future?

We had a clogged toilet so we called them to clear the clog. They had a $99.00 special available. They performed the service that we paid for. THEN, he said we needed to replace the toilet. We agreed but asked for estimates. He quoted us over $600.00 to replace the toilet! We declined. We went to Home Depot, bought a toilet for $200.00 and put it in ourselves. We feel that the quoted price was totally inflated. For that reason, we can only assume that all of their quoted prices will be over inflated. We will not use this firm for any of the services that they have available.

Response from Lancaster Plumbing Heating & Cooling
Dear Member, Thank you for your recent business. However, we were sorry to hear that you will not use our services again due to an estimate that you received to replace your toilet. We would like to express our regrets that you did not see the value in our estimate. Please be aware that the grade of toilet that a consumer can purchase at Home Depot or Lowes is not the same grade of toilet that you would get from Lancaster Plumbing & Heating. You will also not receive a full 1 year warranty on parts and labor and an additional 6 year warranty on the toilet itself through Home Depot or Lowes, but you would receive these warranties from Lancaster Plumbing & Heating. If you should have an issue with your lower grade toilet in the future you are not covered by the larger retail stores under any warranty and you will have to pay for the repairs out of your pocket. We hope you will consider using our services again in the future, we guarantee 100% satisfaction on every service, so if for any reason you are ever dissatisfied with our services please call our office and speak to a representative and we will do whatever it takes to make it right. We are also very competitive with our prices, but please keep in mind that we do not purchase or offer products of the same grade as your local retail stores.

I don’t much approve them at all. I think they have a membership plan that is kind of bogus. They had an advertisement in the newspaper, which said that there is no charge for providing service on the weekends and in the nights, so, I did that and they came over. When they came in, they charged me a large amount of money and a membership fee, so that I wouldn’t have these charges, but it was still a large bill. I think the membership thing was not right. After my membership, it was a quick visit from them later on, but I consider it unethical. I think they should charge everyone one price and not do this membership thing. The repair was fine and they were friendly. The service was fine, but the prices are high. I will not use their services in future.

The plumber was great, and the very simple fix, which he showed me how to do myself in the future, took just a few minutes. I was charged over $500 for this, which seems a bit excessive, even on an emergency call.
