He replaced our old electric range with a gas range. Fixed a toilet that was beginning to leak into our floor. Fixed our clogged dishwasher line and replaced all the gas lines in our rental home. All his work is done with the utmost care and safety. He looks at the problem and communicates why or why not the work is necessary. I was out of state when the tenants reported a gas leak. On further inspection it was determined that all the lines were old and needed replacement. Obviously the tenants were very concerned. Because I had used Anam P many times before I trusted his judgment, integrity and knowledge. I knew that he would not recommend anything that didn't really need to be done. The work was begun the next day and he worked through the weekend to complete it before his jobs the following Monday. His cost was more than fair. I received this note from the tenants and it says it all. "Anam Paldgyee finished today. He was GREAT! We will definitely use him on our house. He was very professional, conscientious and it seems did an excellent job. He kept me informed all along the way of what he was doing and when we would/wouldn't have hot water or gas to the stove. We had plans in the house this weekend; guests on Saturday night and a cleaning person on Saturday. Not having a stove or hot water and giving Padgyee access to various parts of the house throughout the 3 day could have been over-the-top challenging. But he was so easy to work with and now the gas lines are safe. Yay. He showed me where the gas shut offs are in and out of the house, which I am so grateful to know in case of an emergency." As a homeowner and landlord I cannot overstate how secure I feel using Green Eagle Plumbing. I feel Anam P is not only great plumber but enjoys his work and takes your trust very seriously. I unhesitatingly recommend him.

The one we used last time we had a furnace maintenance issue is no longer in business. I chose Hassler from among several that got good reviews on Angie's List and Yelp. I called Hassler and was immediately given an appointment the following day for between noon and 2 p.m. Derek, the technician assigned to the job, showed up at 1:30 and went right to work (which entailed going into our damp crawl space). He diagnosed the problem, a burned out pilot generator, very quickly, sized up what to do about it, and made the fix very promptly. In addition to working in the crawl space, Derek was required to work in very tight quarters to access the furnace--I've mucked around down there and I give him extra points for that. Derek also made sure I understood the price he'd be charging before he proceeded. As I said before, it struck me as being on the high side but fair given all the circumstances. Derek also inspected the heat exchanger in the furnace to insure it's still sound, explained that a cracked or broken heat exchanger can be a source of carbon monoxide gas, and inquired into whether we have a working CO monitor in the house (we do). All in all, I was satisfied with my experience with Hassler and would not hesitate to recommend the company or consider them for another job on our home.

Gas Fireplace Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Berkeley, CA
He came in to see the chimney on the inside and then he went outside with his ladder and went on the roof to check to see if there was a damper . My chimney does not have one as it hasn't been used in over 50 years. He gave me a price to have one installed on the chimney itself not inside...

Amazing, called in for a service call on my Wedgewood stove. They diagnosed the problem over the phone and saved me a repair call. This is the sort of reputable service that you would hope that repair shops might provide. I am glad to recommend them.

"So far so good. Snaking of kitchen sink with very old pipes. Hopefully snake did not poke pipes. Only time will tell. Keeping fingers crossed. They did a good job explaining and triple checked for leaks before they left. Of course they tried to upsell and gave us a metal trap they did not quote us upfront for. We would have chosen it over plastic, but price difference would need to be cleared upfront. That's the only negative. Otherwise, thus far we are very happy with the result. Thank you for coming on such short notice and on time! Super appreciated. 4.5-5 stars."

"The plumbing technicians came out as promised to assess the leak. They were both very courteous and kind and assessed the damage. I am giving three stars because they estimated the cost to be almost 250% higher than what the actual cost was to fix the issue. I am sure there are customers out there that would just accept any bid however, please get multiple beds for these projects, especially when working with this company as they will inflate the cost to take advantage of the situation. I ended up only paying for the $79 estimate."

"Spent too much time discussing a replacement faucet. Did schedule very quickly which was appreciated, did do the work requested quickly after “discussion “ stopped.
I do feel that the “come on” $49 work estimate fee gets you involved with them when you have no idea that the cost would be so much! This I find is the norm with plumbers on Angi. Total cost for a simple procedure( yes I could not do myself) was at least 50% more than I thought."

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Berkeley, CA
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
