They're good, Thompson E J and Son, LLC Plumbing, Heating and A/C is excellent. My mother in law called this past winter, lost her heating and cooling system and if it'll be repaired, it'll be dangerous to the point where it couldn't be repaired it needs to be replaced and I called on Thompson E J and Son, LLC Plumbing, Heating and A/C again and they put in a new system for her house.

The two guys from EJ Thompson and Sons were great! They were prompt and courteous. They even went so far as to show us how previous repair people we'd used in the past (we've had this problem with the commode happen many times) had basically rigged up our old commode with modern parts that did not fit well -- hence the leak. The EJ Thompson guys installed parts that resembled the older ones (they even had them on the truck already, so no delay to go find parts), so that they fit in our old bathroom perfectly. I am writing this review several months later, on purpose-- wanted to wait and see how the repair held up. The toilet is working perfectly! We've had it repaired many times over the past 10 years, and this is the first time that we haven't had to call someone back within just a few months. Plus, the price was reasonable. We will definitely use EJ Thompson and Sons again. Highly recommend! Many thanks!
Description of Work: Called them when our toilet tank wouldn't stop refilling. (It is an old, 1950s toilet, original to the house.) They made the repairs and it is now working great!

We called them to correct a leak at the top of the hot water tank and a leak in the bathtub faucet. The men were very friendly and corrected the problem, but we were not happy with the service. First, we were not given an arrival time. We were told they probably would arrive the first part of the following week but arrived the same week without calling and almost missed our being home. Second, when repairing the hot water tank, the service person broke a piece and had to go to Lowe's, and I am sure we paid for the time. The tub faucet leak was repaired, but the valves turn the opposite direction. Third, we were not told the price but that the bill would be mailed. It arrived in a couple of days, and we were not happy.

I could not be happier with the job EJ Thompson did. I am renovating a bathroom in a 1940's house and the job turned out to be more complicated than expected. But they took extra time to figure it out and even fixed a couple of other small things like my outdoor faucet and furnace condensation pump at no extra charge. They did what they said they would do WHEN they said they would do it and never left me hanging without functioning facilities. They came back every day until the job was done. And everyone was very friendly.
Description of Work: Bathroom upgrade including new fixtures, new water lines, and new drain lines. That was the contract description and they went above and beyond and stuck to the contract price.

Contractor arrived on schedule and removed old air handler/electric furnance. They were on time throughout the job.The employees were cordial and worked efficiently. They were definitely experienced but were hampered slightly because they were using a truck which wasn't normally assigned to them. Installed a new 15 SEER Heat Pump with a 5and quot; fabric air filter.The fit and finish of the final installation was excellent. Cleaned duct work using vacuum system and compressed air/rubber tipped hose on each register. I noticed the employee did not use saftey glasses.With the duct cleaning, the entire heat pump replacement project was finished in three full days. I had to prod them a little to go ahead and remove the outside unit on the first day and do some prep work for the pad; otherwise the job might have gone into another 1/2 day. Thay had all the necessary equipment and parts to complete the project. The employees removed all old parts, trash and cleaned up any debris before they left. .
Description of Work: Remove old air conditioner and electric furnace... Replace with 15 SEER, 9.25 HSPF Heat Pump. Add outside quick disconnect.. Clean HVAC ducts. Run two supply ducts in basement and add basement return register. Haul old unit away for disposal.

When I contacted the company I asked for someone to come clean and start the boiler for me. I am planning on selling the home and needed it functional. The repairman came and did the inspection, found an issue and within 2 1/2 hrs he had purchased the part and it was running. I had never seen anyone clean the boiler before and was very impressed with his cleaning and handling of each piece of the boiler. The issue was a part that had frozen up since I hadn't used it in 3 years. When I received the bill I was very happy that it had not been inflated on time. While the part was somewhat expensive I knew to expect a markup on it. I am very happy with the service I received and definitely will use them again. The company was very kind and professional from the first phone call to the day I paid them. I couldn't ask for better treatment.
Description of Work: Work was performed on an older steam boiler. It had not been operated in 3 years and needed only a small part replaced. Got the part and returned and had it running within a short time.

In spite of some initial problmes with the parts themselves, I am satisified with the quality of work performed. Their workers were very friendly and did a good job on the installation. The new furnace had a faulty combustion blower which they replaced on the same morning that I contacted them about it.

It went very well. The price was reasonable. They gave me several quotes of different systems and they gave me explanations for the differences between them. We negotiated on the price a little bit. He gave me much wider choices and was better than the other people I talked to. He gave me brochures and different options, which was good. They were very professional. They did it in a little less time than they anticipated. They said it would take 3 days and they did it in 2. He also did a little extra work that he didn't charge me for. They were clean and responsible. They were very good. Their price was very competitive. He quoted me a 2 1/2 ton unit and I asked for a quote for a 3 ton unit. He ended up upgrading the size without charging me. He originally told me it would be $500. The job looked very neat and they cleaned up after themselves. It was a Trane system that they installed. I have already recommended them to people.

The toilet in the laundry room overflowed on the evening of Saturday, February 16, 2013. The clothes washer was emptying and backed up thru the commode. The drain was open enough to just let the commode bowl empty in about 20 seconds. We were afraid to use much water since it could have been the main sewer line that was failing. On Sunday the 17th. I tried to work an auger through the main sewer with no improvement. I called EJT on Monday, the 18th., and they referred me to a drain cleaning company (E's Drain Cleaning) because they could not get out that day to try and unstop the sewer.. I called E's Drain Cleaners and they got out in the afternoon on the 18th. The men from E's made and excellent effort and felt one stoppage clear. They were cleaning up and I flushed the commode about 5 times and the commode started to backu again. E's again used the auger and got out about 50 feet of auger and started bringing back clay mud on the auger head. E's said that this indicated a broken sewer line and someone would have to put a locator and camera down the line to locate the break. I talked with E's men and they said that, if I could not get anyone, they minght be able to work on it on Saturday, the 23. This was too long, and I called EJT early on Tuesday, the 19th. Some one was supposed to come out and take a look. No one showed. No call from EJT, either. I called EJT on the 20th., and was told that some one would take a look. No show, no call from EJT. I called EJT on the 21th., and was told that a helper was injured on the 20 and no one could stop by yesterday. My work ticket was on the truck and some one would be by today to take a look. No show, no call from EJT. Frustrated, I called EJT early on the 22nd. and told them to cancel the order. After the call to EJT, I called Valley Plumbing around 8:00 am. Please see my review of Valley Plumbing.
Description of Work: EJ Thompson & Son had done work for us before at another property and they did good work at that time. Not so this time. Essentially, EJ Thompson (here after, EJT) did nothing. Not calling to say that they could not make the appointment kept me home, waiting, for the better part of 3 days. This was 3 days using the least amount of water possible and not knowing if the "bad, stinky stuff" would back up, too.

I called J. E. Thompson and two very polite gentlemen arrived approximately 1 hour later, at about 7:00 PM. They knew right away what the problem was, installed a new thermostat, and had my heat back on within 45 minutes. I have not had a problem since then. I would not hesitate to use this company again.

I found this company on Angie's List and chose them based on previous ratings. I rated them A all the way.Once home from vacation, we turned on our A/C but our house never cooled. The repair was scheduled easily and quickly. I didn't get a price in advance but based on other reviews I wasn't concerned. It's been running great with no other problems. There is now a calendar reminder to change the filter monthly.
Description of Work: My AC was checked because it wasn't putting out cool air. It needed an adjustment and filter change. apparently the filter was overdue and it tripped a breaker. Although my husband had checked this prior to calling, he was unaware that there were 2 breakers that worked with our system. I called my husband at work and the repairman explained everything to him.

Great experience from start to finish.
Description of Work: Had central air installed in my home built in 1960. We had no duct work and did not want the pipes running along the ceiling of our finished basement. They came in and accessed the situation and decided the attic would be our best bet for what we wanted. They were in and done in 4 days flat. System works wonderful and they respected our home and animals. They also helped us get a great deal on a 36 month 0% interest credit line for the air units. We have been doing buisness with Thompsons for over 30 years all of our plumbing/heating/cooling needs. They have installed a new furnace/new water tank/new toilets/new sinks/numerous window air conditioners (up until this year). Cannot find a better crew for your heating/cooling/plumbing needs. will always call them for the above needs

I pay around $75 to inspect a heat pump. They did some plumbing installation and we paid them around $1000 for that. They are prompt and they are honest. We have always been satisfied with them.

I called Thompson on Tue. May 31, 2011 and asked that a technician come to my house to check the refrigerant level in my A.C. and to also check out the unit to make sure it was ok. They said they would come to my house on Thursday, June 2. They never came and they never called. I called them again on Friday and they said they would come to my house on Monday or Tuesday. They never came and they never called. That's about as unprofessional as you can get. If they didn['t want my business, they should have told me that when I called them the first time and I would have gone elsewhere. Eventually, I did seek another company and that company came the day after I called them.
Description of Work: They failed to show up to perform the service that I requested. I wanted them to send a technician to my house to check the refrigerant level on my A.C. and to check out the unit to make sure it was working ok. They did not come to my house even though they said they would. I called them twice.

These service calls were my first experience with EJ Thompson--very happy with their service. I recommend this company if you have any plumbing, heating or AC problems--reliable and dependable!
Description of Work: I had a defective part in my heat pump that was preventing my thermostat from cooling the house. Their AC technician came, diagnosed the problem, ordered the necessary part (which was still under warranty), and installed it for me when it was received. AC is working just fine now. I have also used them for plumbing issues (replaced faucets in my bath tub and washers in my lavatory earlier in the month). Found their technicians to be very knowledgeable in resolving both plumbing and AC problems.
