I called a couple of different plumbers and Neffsville answered right away and came over right away. They fixed it right away at an extremely reasonable cost. They were fabulous. They figured out a trap thing was broken, but their estimate was higher than another companies'. However, they are the ones who diagnosed it properly.

Dear member , Thank you for your review .Price is important to everyone certainly ,sometimes our Company may furnish a higher estimate/quote when comparison shopping .We (as a company) place high priorities on work diagnosed and completed correctly and professionally .Those standards we maintain may or may not affect the terminal price .Our staff all live by the mantra...."we do it right the first time" ,fully guaranteed and no excuses .Our hope is our customers realize the importance we place on long lasting value at a price determined as fair .Is that not the way it should be to instill trust and peace of mind ? Respectfully submitted , Rick Groff-pres.

The do good work, but they have very high prices. I have a service contract with them, but it always seems like when your air conditioner breaks, it is on the hottest night in July, or August, and every single time they have come out within a reasonable time to fix the problem if it is fixable. You pay for that. Great service but high price. He charged me $300 for freon, and he told me that there was probably a leak, and they would be back after a week to check that.
Description of Work: I use Neffsville Plumbing. I used them a week ago when my air conditioner cracked out and the guy was out in 15 minutes at 8 at night.

Dear member , Thank you for the review .Our goal is to always give customers the option to repair or replace .The repair option would not exist unless the technicians were well trained and professional .A correct diagnosis is important on many levels .Refrigerant (freon) leaks must be repaired by law ,plus it is the right thing to do .Leaks also create huge inefficiencies and other damages that result in high utility bills and potential property damage from water leaks .Not only is the refrigerant expensive ,an adjustment of the refrigerant charge and leak search get costly as well .Sometimes a high efficiency ,fully guarantted ,new system is the best investment but is it not good to have the option ?

He did the job fine. My wife and I were at work and my daughter was home. She called us and told us the bill was $560.00 to unclog the sink drain. He was there probably half an hour and all he did was run a snake down the line. I was p***** and called him and he said my daughter approved it even though my wife specifically told him to call her first. He did reduce the bill to $330 which still think is high. Definitely won't use them again.

Dear member, Thank you for considering each category carefully, and grading us appropriately. I have reviewed the invoice and talked with the responding technician. To properly clear your kitchen sink drain, and get it flowing the existing garbage disposal had to be completely removed and set aside. He was then able to prep the work area with protective measures, and set up the cable machine for direct access to the drain. It required more than 40' of cable to reach the problem area with a good amount of hand work to clear it. After the garbage disposal was reinstalled flow was checked and the blockage was confirmed removed. Clean up and invoicing followed. The actual cost for the above work was 478.00. Also included was one year of our customer care service plan at 85.00. Most of our customers see huge value in the plan as it pays for itself the very next time we respond to the property. In addition, after three years it is no cost to our customers and becomes a lifetime agreement. The technician that responded to your need is a 30 plus year veteran master plumber. He cares greatly about his work and his customers. I am sorry that you were not able to be there to experience his customers first approach. It completely mystifies me as to how the communication breakdown occurred with the billing authorization. That being said, occasionally things do happen , especially when home owners are not able to be at the property. For that we apologize. In the end we did credit back the one year customer care plan and made an adjustment. As with all our customers, feel free to call in and talk things over. Jon LePage V.P.

One of the prime reasons I choose this company was due to the fact that the person who gave the quote was also an installer. He was passionate about what he does and clearly took pride in his work. Both men that came out for quotes were very interested in my understanding of the process and making sure that I got the best system for my situation taking into consideration both my budget and environmental concerns. In addition they pointed out that my gas line to fireplace was not grounded and made sure that safety concern was addressed. The company kept me informed if a schedule needed to change and the work went off without a hitch through a week of snow storms and polar vortex weather. The work was tidy and took great care in making sure nothing was damaged. They did what they said and said what they did. They took the time to teach me about the wireless thermostats and programed them for me. In the future they will bring the salt for the water softener and even fill the tank for me if I like when they come for the annual check up. Another bonus is that the gentleman that did the quotes and the installation, Jay, is planning to be the one who comes each year to check. I looked at five different companies before deciding on Neffsville and feel as though I found a company I can trust and rely on for years to come.

Dear Member, Thank you for posting a review.We know how frustrating it is when your private water system quits working.It is usually without warning and the type of repair we enjoy doing.It is gratifying when a restoration of service to the most essential need in our home (running water) can bring about such a sense of relief to our customers and yet again demonstates we takes our role seriously as service providers.The U-V light you chose to have installed was a wise investment indeed to assure the water coming out of the tap will be safe to drink for you and your family.

We had a problem with our one toilet running and just needed adjusted. Neffsville came and gave us an estimate that was "totally out of sight" for the repair. I called our original plumber as we are in a fairly new house and told him the problem and how much they wanted and he said it would take him no more than 15 min and 1 small part as Neffsville told us it take an hour and wanted about $350 So that confirmed to me that they were doing above and beyond than what was needed. Thank you.

Dear member, Thank you for taking the time to submit your review.According to the observations and findings sheet from our visit on 8/13/13,Vortens(type of toilet) fill valve not working due to hard water fouling.All that is most unfortunate and I understand yor disapointment since your home is fairly young.The charge for a complete toilet rebuild was $258.00 and the full year Customer care program you purchased was an additional 84.95.Our policy is only to suggest complete rebuilds.It was a decision made not to increase cost to our customers but more importantly to provide a repair that is long lasting and also fully guaranteed as worry free using hopefully higher quality than original parts.I would hope you would reconsider using our services again however.The Customer Care program you purchased assures you of preferred pricing to any service work 24 hours a day.Additionally there would never be a trip charge and you would be entitled to a full complimentary inspection by a technician of your entire plumbing system before the year is up.You may wish to consider a water test to see if you require a water softener to protect the plumbing system,faucets,and water heater in your less than 3 year old home.I do understand your disapointments,we are trying to provide solutions and professionally repair problems in a cost effective and professional manner.Service work is what we do 24/7.You can always contact me by phone to elaborate and review further...625-1000. For now. Rick Groff-pres.

then tested for water hardness and found it to be high which one would assume since the system had been turned off. meanwhile, some very brown water was coming from the kitchen faucet which he said was because the resin in the tank had dissolved and that it would cost almost as much to repack the resin as it would to get a new system with a brine tank. a new head, and a new resin tank,he left an estimate of between $1800 and $3000 depending on which system we would want, after he left, the water cleared up and the system re-generated. works fine now. so i guess that was worth the $58 we spent to have him come out. However, when i checked prices on the systems he recommended, I found that the estimate was about $800 higher than if I purchased the unit myself and had a licensed plumber install it. that was not an option that he presented nor did we ask that question when he gave the estimate. also, if we had needed more resin, the cost of material was only about $100.
Description of Work: we called to get our system checked because we had all the signs of hard water happening. He checked the water softener and found that the bypass switch was on bypass instead of service. turned switch back to service position.

Dear Member, Thank you for your review,it is appreciated.I would like to respond to you concerns.When water softener resin beds become fouled,(as I suspect yours is),their capacity to suspend the minerals(etc.) until regeneration is severely dimished.We understand from your description that it appears to be functioning normally and not require further investment.Older water softeners do require maintenance periodically and at a minimum,replacing the resin to function properly and thoroughly.A fould resin bed results in a softening process that may be incomplete and short-lived requiring more frequent regeneration cycles.New softeners are far more efficient than what you presently have and conserve salt and water.If you consider a new unit to protect your homes plumbing system,I hope you could see the value of purchasing the unit through your local Plumbing professional.Any additional upfront investment should be more than offset by knowlegable service after the sale and a comprehensive guarantee on the labor and your new water softener.It may also provide the peace of mind knowing it was installed per the Plumbing code.I wish you luck and hope the perspective may be of interest.I do appreciate the fact you recognized a good value from our initial visit,water test,and consultation...even if our grade did not fully reflect that.Please call me directly,I am available and hope my 40 year tenure in this trade can be of service to our many wonderful customers.

Dear Member, Thank you for posting a review.Replacing HVAC systems is a large investment.Installed cost variations for a home your size could range from around 6 to 17 thousand dollars.Efficiency,Manufacturer,options chosen,and installation practices all contribute to installed cost.American Standard is a premium brand promising top quality construction and reliability.Your three complete system replacement options from us ranged in price from 10,898 to 12,540 (before any rebates) including the required permit.An important role for us is to assist our customers to make long term investment decisions regarding their heating and cooling systems.We are of the opinion that quality and reliability in a long term investment is prudent and therefore recommend American Standard options in high efficiency levels,albeit at a higher initial investment.We regret we could not move forward with you in the purchase of your new system.We are sincerely hopeful you are still happy with your decision 10 years from now.Thank you for your past business and any future possibilities.

Called to schedule appointment to install gas line to the laundry room. Very helpful and pleasant customer service. Appointment was scheduled for the day I wanted. Jay arrived on time, quickly assessed the installation needs and gave me a quote before he began any work. After approving the quote he got right to work. He installed the new gas line from the basement to the 1st floor laundry room, installed the dryer to the gas line, leak tested the line and fittings, and installed a new dryer vent from the dryer to the outside wall. At my request he also evaluated my 15 year old hot water heater and provided multiple recommendations and quotes on replacement costs. Very responsive and helpful. Follow up phone call by customer service was received to ensure all went well.

On a previous visit I was provided with a quote for replacement of my 15 year old gas hot water heater. I called service tech (Jay) directly, since he provided the quote, and scheduled installation for the date I wanted. Old water heater began leaking the morning of replacement so couldn't have timed that any better. Old water heater drain valve was so clogged it had to be drilled open to drain the water before removal. Expansion tank had a busted bladder and was saturated. After removing the old water heater, the new, much more efficient, 40 gallon gas hot water heater with expansion tank and drain pan was installed. Very difficult and time consuming job but it was done well and with a smile. Very happy with new hot water heater and with the service.

We called Neffsville because our air conditioning system froze and quit working several days before. They answered the phone right away, took our information and told us they would have someone there that day. This is a busy part of the season and the temperature was in the 80's so we were surprised someone could come so soon. I received a call a few hours later from the company that their tech was on his way and he showed up shortly thereafter. He was very professional, put on shoe covers, and went right to work. He explained every thing he did every step of the way and diagnosed multiple problems within a short time. We are only two weeks from selling this home so we were greatly concerned we might have to replace the entire system, and he assured us he thought we could avoid that. He added Freon, replaced the filter for us, replaced a part and fixed a problem with wiring that a previous company had done wrong on a previous repair. Within a relatively short period of time the air conditioner was up and running better than ever and we are eternally grateful. The entire bill, including the diagnostics, filter, parts and repair was only $216.00-an amazing deal! We would never use anyone else and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Our furnace is only three years old, but it needed repair. We went to 4 different people and no one was able to fix it. Finally we found this company that was able to solve our problem. The gentleman that came out to perform the job was thorough and knew what he was doing. I was impressed that he didn’t charge me an arm and a leg. We set up a contract with them to come out next fall to perform routine maintenance.
Description of Work: We hired them to fix our furnace.

I had a small back-up into my basement drain when running several loads of laundry consecutively. Made an appt and asked about line video and drain clean, as well as estimates for new water heater and basement sink replacement (non-essential projects that we have been considering). Tech was courteous, looked at the issues, and drew out estimates for each project. While the estimates seemed a little high my outflow drain obviously needed to be at least snaked. Since that particular estimate did seem the most reasonable of the lot, I consented to the video and snake. Video showed some tree roots, which I expected, but the line didn't look too bad and they were able to run the snake without too much trouble, except that they couldn't get it to go all the way to the street's main line. Video again, with some difficulty, and the 'uh-oh's' begin. While they were able to clear enough of the pipe to allow flow, they couldn't get past a significant rootball. The re-video image was unclear, and the tech surmised that this lack of sight was due to the line being bowed and/or otherwise compromised, which necessitated a complete replacement. I asked for an estimate of the work, which came to almost 7,000$, not including replacing the sidewalk that they would have to dig out, but did include removal of the offending tree. Interestingly, at the bottom of this estimate was a reference to use of a high-pressure snake to clear the roots, though they couldn't guarantee its effectiveness and it would itself cost almost a thousand dollars on top of what I just spent. I was left wondering why they didn't just offer to use the high pressure snake in the first place (instead of charging me for a regular snake first--there were obviously roots involved). Anyway, I arranged for a couple of second opinions, and called the city to buy myself some time (since I happened to know the tree could not be removed without the city's consent). In the meantime, another Neffsville rep showed up for my free home inspection, which is part of the service agreement I agreed to, as it reduced my price on the snake. This tech proceeded to go over every plumbing installation and make various recommendations, which was fairly thorough and was for projects which I would normally have considered having done. Except I was having some doubts in that he kept contradicting the previous tech on several points (i.e. no, it isn't required to put in a chimney liner when replacing my water heater; the first tech said that it was, which is why it would cost an extra thousand dollars; No, I couldn't have sediment build up in my pipes because they are obviously new copper piping, which they are..). What convinced me that I wouldn't use their services any longer was the approach to our water pressure problem. We have low flow on some fixtures, which is annoying but not unbearable. The tech had a different explanation for this issue at every fixture we arrived at, which is not altogether unreasonable, as water pressure is a tricky thing. But my confidence was broken when, upon testing the shower, he was convinced that the pressure problem was localized there, in a faulty brass balancer. He bargained that he could fix the issue straight away; it should be an easy fix and if he couldn't do it he certainly wouldn't charge me anything. I looked at the piece, which seemed straightforward to remove, and agreed. He then proceeded to chip away at this brass fitting with what was obviously the wrong tool, sending filings and chips all over my shower, gaining no headway. I even suggested that there should be a proper tool for the odd-sized piece, but he insisted that there wasn't. After about twenty minutes I told him to stop. The piece is now damaged beyond repair and will now take a complete removal of the plumbing fixture, including tearing into the wall. Since that last visit, I've had the second opinions on the sewer line, including a proper video. The tech was able to clearly view entire line and the video confirmed the pipe's integrity and showed no issues other than the roots. The line was easily cleared and given a clean bill of health, utilizing a high-pressure sprayer, for which this company charged half as much as what Neffsville estimated. To Neffsville's credit, they did make a standard follow-up call to ask how the service was. I informed them of some of my concerns as listed above and indicated that I wouldn't be using their service again. They called back again about an hour later, indicating that if their tech had done any damage that they would send another tech over again to review and rectify, but I just don't have confidence in them any longer and so declined. Furthermore, on the same day as their f/u call, their written estimates arrived in the mail for the projects that were discussed in the inspection. The estimates are just unreasonably high for the amount of work needed, and really motivates me to recommend others for this type of work.

Dear member, I would like to respond to a few of your concerns. First off, thank you for your detailed description of the events. Every review is a means for us to see what is working ,and what needs improvement. Regarding the chimney liner, if yours does not have a terra cotta liner then we would be required to install the metal liner as described to you. We do work in 25- 30 municipalities where codes change, so it is possible there was confusion on the second technicians part? That’s a training issue for us. As for the high pressure jetter, that method is used once the line has been opened with the cable equipment. It is effective in cutting out roots, but only to a certain size. We have to make that determination based upon the size of the roots. In your case, we felt they had grown in a size that would not be effective for the jetter to remove. It was a judgment call for the tech and he felt better with the guaranteed solution of replacing the line. There would be no yearly maintenance of having to remove more roots that would just grow back thicker and stronger. Kind of like pruning a tree if you will. Problem is ,as they grow back bigger the intrusion into the pipe gets larger until a point where it then collapses the clay piping. This scenario would surely result in a emergency excavation. Due to the size and location of the tree it would be better planned, with no interruption of service to you. On the shower faucet, if we damaged something we will certainly repair it at your request. Most homes without water treatment or of significant age, will present a challenge when it comes to removing parts that come in contact with water. Think of it as a rusted bolt, even with the right tool it often strips out or snaps off. In most cases it’s no different with plumbing repairs. We do go into it with the best intentions, and inform the customer what the chances are of being successful . Most often, we explain to the customer what the next move would be in the event of a failed repair, before we attempt the repair. I stand behind the CSR offer to return and make things right with you. Service is all we do, for 70 plus years now, it is our purpose. We don’t always get it right, but when we don’t and know about it, we always offer to correct the situation as any good company would. Jon Lepage V.P.

We were having our outside faucet leaking. The problem revolved around a valve in the basement that needed to be replaced. We contacted Neffsville who came out within 1.5 hours. A proposal was made and agreed upon. The repair was made.
