This company is honest, responsive, and professional. I contacted Nichol for an outside bibb/valve to a garden hose that was leaking. Chris came out to look at it for no charge. I told them to go ahead to replace a bibb for about $200. When the plumber came out they found that it only needed to be tightened and repaired it for $57. It was very honest of them to not do any unnecessary work. I would have been ok if it did get replaced, but the integrity is impressive.

The estimate we received was much lower than the other estimate, yet based on the reviews here we felt confident with Nichols so we hired them. On the day of the service the plumber arrived on time and worked on cutting into the existing gas line, adding new connectors, then running the new line behind the dryer. We asked him to run the line in a specific location so that we could place cabinets on the wall behind the dryer. He understood and did exactly as we requested. Next, the plumber replaced the original faucets supplying water to our washer with a single brass shutoff valve. Shortly after the plumber left we had a pinhole leak near the shutoff valve. Most likely this was caused by the age of the pipe and being exposed to heat during the soldering process. Regardless, we called the office and they sent out another plumber within the hour. He repaired the problem at no cost so we were very happy. Based on our initial experience with Nichols we would definitely hire them again for our next plumbing project.
Description of Work: We hired Nichols Plumbing for two projects: extending a gas line for a new dryer and replacing two faucets with a single shutoff valve for our washer.

Response from Nichols Plumbing Heating & Cooling Co
Price is only one of many criteria in the installation of any water heater. We use only American made products, copper piping and new valves installed by trained, licensed and insured mechanics. We strive to install our products in a professional manner at a fair price.

First, I need to mention that I called with a blockage in the main bathroom at 8:15AM on a Monday, and Nichols was able to have someone at my house that same morning at 8:45AM. They put me and my issue as a priority which is a HUGE plus in my mind. Two of Nichols employees serviced my house, and tenaciously worked for two days until the issue was solved. What my husband and I thought was just a localized blockage was actually rust and lime deposits that had completely blocked the sewage pipe from the third floor all the way through to the basement. Nichols worked and worked and worked until clearing the entire line inside of my house. I would definitely recommend Nichols. They will solve your problem, give you advice on what to look out for in the future, and will work until they know that the problem is fixed.
Description of Work: Discovered source of blockage and cleared out over 40 feet of rust and lime from entire sewer line in large three story 100 year old house.

On 10/14/14 I noticed the hot water all of a sudden get very hot (160 degrees from 130 degrees). I called Nichols Plumbing, and they came out to inspect the water heater within an hour in the late afternoon. We discovered that water was collecting at the bottom of the tank and there were brown streaks coming from the top coil. He said he would come over the next morning and replace the tank and haul out the old tank. The old electrical tank was twelve years old. A young technician showed up on time and proceeded to do the work. We also discovered the cold water shutoff valve was highly corroded. I had him replace the valve with a new ball valve. I am slowly but surely replacing all my old valves with ball valves. The job took about three hours from emptying the old tank to filling the new tank. Thankfully the new tank was an exact replacement for the old tank. I have been using Nichols Plumbing for decades, and I'm always very happy with their work. Their prices are not the lowest nor are they the highest. They are fair. I would not use any other plumber because the price is well worth their promptness, professionalism, great quality of work, and their excellent clean up. Nichols Plumbing is my plumber and will be in the future. I highly recommend them.

Ok . We made the mistake of using a company in Lancaster Pa to supply the ultraviolet system. When it came to replacing the ultraviolet bulb they sent the wrong bulb to the plumber so he had to come back another time. Once the piping was fixed the job was satisfactory.
Description of Work: The company installed a ultraviolet light system to purify the well water. They also came a year later to follow up with changing the bulb. Whe the first plumber came to give us an estimate of the service-he was professional and he was an authorized installer from the manufacturer. When the actual work was done another plumer came to do the job and he did not seem to know the system that well as he kept calling the office for advice. When he put up the piping for the light, the pipe he installed was very flimsy so we couldn't change our water filter without possibly breaking the pipe. It was fixed the following year.

My wife realized it was turning way too cold even with the heater switched on. I then called Nichols Plumbing and Heating and the serviceman was at my doorstep in 2 hours. He then detected the problem to be with the censor and fixed the same. He also taught me minor trouble shoots and how to take the panel on and off. I liked their services and will use the same in future.

Quite positive. Representative was polite and we were happy to have the problems resolved.
Description of Work: A spray nozzle and hose was attached underneath the kitchen sink. We'd been unable to do it ourselves because the joint was very rusted; it turned out to be a little challenging for the rep as well, but he accomplished the task in about 10-15 minutes. Also, our air conditioning had stopped working (this is our first experience with home ownership) and the rep determined that a breaker switch just needed to be reset.

PLUMBER WENT TO THE WRONG APPOINTMENT FIRST (OR SO I WAS TOLD BY THE OFFICE), SO HE ARRIVED 2-1/2 HOURS AFTER THE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT TIME (30 MINUTES LATE FOR EVEN THE REVISED ARRIVAL TIME I WAS QUOTED). FRIENDLY, WORKED QUICKLY. CLEANED OUT OUR BOILER AND FLUE, BLED AIR OUT OF ALL THE RADIATORS. WAS ONSITE FOR ALMOST PRECISELY ONE HOUR, BUT CHARGED FOR 1.5 HOURS. WHEN ASKED, HE SAID THEY CHARGE FOR TRAVEL TIME ALSO.

VERY RESPONSIVE. I FOUND OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRYWALL JOB THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE A PLUMBER REMOVE A RADIATOR. I CALLED NICHOL'S AND THEY WERE ABLE TO COME OUT THE NEXT DAY TO DO THE WORK. THEY ALSO CAME BACK WHEN I NEEDED THEM TO REINSTALL. THE ONLY MINOR PROBLEM WAS A SMALL LEAK IN ONE OF THE PIPES WHERE THE RADIATOR WAS REATTACHED, BUT THEY CAME OUT QUICKLY TO FIX THIS WHEN I CALLED ABOUT IT.
