He was punctual and very professional. He worked very quickly and neatly and took care of everything that needed to be done. I would highly recommend and I have used them again since. The people in the office are also very prompt and professional. It was a great experience!
Description of Work: They replaced a sink faucet and repaired several commode leaks. They repaired a leaking faucet outside and repair work that was left over from a previous plumber that didn’t complete the work. I had used them previously for heating and A/C service and thought I would give their plumbing a try.

I called this company for an emergency clogged drain (water coming up through a pipe in the basement; it smelled awful). Anyway, I was pleased with this company as soon as an answering service picked up on the second ring (Note, I called 2 other people before these guys and left a voicemail). The operator told me a Frank would call me back ASAP and he was ringing not even 5 minutes later. I should also note it was dinner time on a Sunday AND THE STEELERS WERE PLAYING THAT NIGHT. That being said, I was so happy and surprised when Frank was able to make it to my door in 20 minutes. He fixed the problem, checked out some other things for us while he was here, and even made some recommendations regarding our plumbing which rattles every time we turn on the water. The pricing was steep - a whopping $160/hr - but that was the emergency rate. Quite frankly the smell was so bad in my basement I would have paid anything to make it stop. Could I have priced around? Probably. One of the other guys returned my call - 4 hours later. The bill was a little high for my liking, but I was SO HAPPY that someone was at my door only 30 minutes after noticing a problem.
Description of Work: unclog a clogged drain

The plumbers were knowledgeable, helpful. The work was a huge improvement over existing conditions. They were punctual.
Description of Work: I used A.J. Buerkle on two separate occassions approx. 6 months apart. The first visit they disconnected, moved and reconnected my furnace, reconfigured duct work and replaced and relocated my hot water heater. The second occasion they replaced the expansion chamber on the hot water heater. I was cautioned by the plumber that tthe expansion tank maybe an issue when the hot weater heater was replaced in the fall.

We called AJ Buerkle for a plumbing repair, a leaky tub through to a ceiling below. Although we didn't end up hiring Mr. Buerkle (my husband repaired the problem), he was very prompt in returning his call to us and scheduling our estimate. He arrived when he said he would, and was very professional and friendly. We will definitely call him in the future for our plumbing needs. Great customer service and professional.

We needed an estimate for moving our washing and drying machine into another room. The owner came to do the estimate and was willing to adjust as needed to help meet our budget. While writing up the estimate, he voluntarily looked over our furnace (new to house) and hooked up a disconnected house humidifier at no cost to us. The owner requested that if possible we wait on our project so that his more experienced plumber (who was out for a few weeks) would be available since this type of project was his forte. And the owner followed-up with us. Would definitely recommend this company for service.

They are an excellent company. I highly recommend them. Their price was very reasonable. I would use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used A J Buerkle Plumbing Heating & A/C Co. I last used their services in the fall of 2010. They checked the furnace. They did a lot of work for me. They repaired the faucets. I’ve sold my house and so I had them come out and check the interior things prior to my occupying the house.

We like them. We've also used them for heating and A/C. They were excellent and you couldn't ask for better. The people are always on time and come when they are supposed to come. They are clean and you feel comfortable having them in your house. They do good work.
Description of Work: We use AJ Buerkle Plumbing Heating & A/C for plumbing mainly. They did emergency plumbing work because the main house line was ruptured.

They did a great job removing the old unit and cleaning up when they were done. I knew we were living on borrowed time with our 19 year old A/C. Naturally it went out during the heat. They were responsive and friendly in spite of working crazy hours during what had to be his busiest time of the year. He even came back out to make sure everything was done to his quality standards and to make sure we were happy.

We have very expensive toilets, and he told us they all needed to be replaced even though they were only ten years old. He said that after ten years all toilets needed to be replaced, which was not the case. They never keep the part with them so that is an extra charge. To me this does not make sense, we did not end up using him for the work because it turned out the toilets did not need to be replaced, and that they could be fixed at a reasonable rate.
Description of Work: They have done a lot of plumbing work for us, this past year we have had them out to do work on the 8 toilets in our home.

WHILE WE HAVE WORKED FOR THE MEMBER IN THE PAST, WE HAVE NO RECORD OF RECEIVING A SERVICE CALL IN THE PAST YEAR TO REPAIR TOILETS. OUR COMPANY IS OFTEN CONFUSED WITH BUERKLE PLUMBING, ANOTHER PLUMBING COMPANY LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH. WE ARE LOCATED IN THE SOUTH HILLS OF PITTSBURGH AND WE ARE IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH BUERKLE PLUMBING. WE FEEL THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REGISTERED IN ERROR.

Mr. Buerkle came out to my home (the same day I called) to locate a fresh air vent in my back yard that my township demanded I find. He quoted me the price, I told him uh, uh; however, while conversing as he got back into his van to leave, I mentioned another problem in my bathroom. He asked to see it, told me the problem, drew diagrams for me and left without charging me a cent. What a guy . . . .
