Hello [Member Name Removed], This Aprill Smud announced that they are lowering their rebates prices for heat pump water heaters from $3000-to $2500 . On our website the ad said we can install a heatpump water heater starting from $99. This price is for a unit that has the electrical work already completed and a new wire does not have to be pulled from the electrical panel. Your unit however is not the case and requires additional work.The price we quoted you at $750 is for an energy star water heater tank and requires pulling a new electric wire as well. We believe we have given you a fair price and most plumbing companies would quote you a lot higher on average. You are correct that the recording says the heatpump installation starts from $99 but that recording was taken while the rebates were $3000. Due to the situation happening around the world our advertising company is closed and we have not yet switched the recording or the adds but are trying our best to find someone We also received information from Smud 2 days ago that they are no longer going to have the rebate for Heat Pumps, HVAC, Windows and Insulation. We fully understand you would like an installation for $99. I would also love to provide you a $99 installation as well, however we can no longer keep these same prices because Smud was changing the price of the rebate which they are no longer doing. Again with this Corona Virus alot of Advertising companies are no longer working and we have tried contacting several different ones. The situation is difficult but we are working as quick as it can to have the ad updated.Service Provider Response
Hello, thank you for the review. We looked into the estimate submissions with our sales technician and concluded he does not have the time to do all estimates on site, and so he holds onto the information until he emails out the estimate at a later time. To us it was a surprise, and we will continue to work on providing the best service because all of our estimates must be done the same day. On our website, it is said our starting price is $2998. We honor that price and do the work if a home falls within its range. The price for a re-pipe is based on a lot of factors. 1. The size of the home. 2. How many floors the home has. 3. Amount of bathrooms 4. Number of fixtures. 5. Whether you have PEX or copper 6. Full house or partial re-pipe 7. Whether or not the sheetrock was removed, etc Your quote was $7200 with PEX and $8700 with copper. It includes all materials, kitchen area, ice maker box, laundry area, 2 showers, 2 toilets, and 2 bathroom vanity sinks, 2 existing hose bib areas, plus an additional hose bib installation. The permit too has a price, and requires a technician to come back to the home for a day after the work is done to complete the inspection and put on the final touches afterwards. $4200 is for a one bathroom house. Your house has TWO bathrooms. This means there is TWICE the work. TWICE the amount of materials. TWICE the amount of time needed to be spent re-piping your home. I understand you may feel you have been lied to. However, we give honest quotes, and we take everything into consideration when finalizing these estimates. We do not force anyone to go with us. The estimate we gave was free. If you do not like our quote, we would encourage you to get other estimates and go with the one you feel most comfortable with. Again, thank you for letting us know you did not receive your quote instantly. However, in the end it was free, and if you did not like our quote, you do not have to go with us.Health & Safety Measures
