Not the best way to start a Saturday. Water was puddling in my yard near my front porch. I was able to find the leak in my water line after a some digging, but I thought it would be impossible to get someone to come on a Saturday afternoon to repair the line. Called Ideal and was very impressed at how helpful and responsive they were on the phone. Rob was at my house late in the afternoon and quickly fixed the line. Great customer service from everyone and Rob did a really beautiful repair. Everything was done and water was back on in time to still make dinner! Very impressed!

The work was the best, Rob was knowledgeable and helpful, thorough and up to date parts. I will never used any other plumbers except Ideal Plumbing. Very expensive but I live in a condo, and the plumbing should be perfect.

Over the last two years we have been enjoying the new forced-air gas heater and electric air conditioning system and whole house fan that Ideal Plumbing (IP) installed for us in May 2016. Our existing heater was approximately 36 years old so it was time to be replaced. We were also tired of not having air conditioning during the summer. Further, we had a kitchen and bathroom remodel and room addition project starting in June 2016, so we had a tight window in which to get a new system installed. IP designed a new high-efficiency HVAC system, that incorporated our new room addition, and reserved space in their schedule to conduct their installation just ahead of the remodel/room addition project. They also prepared all the paperwork necessary to obtain the county permits and to apply for the available rebates. IP actually installed our new heater in the attic, instead of the existing location in a hallway closet, thus freeing up the existing location so we could install some much-needed cabinet space. In addition to the heater unit and the air conditioning condenser, all new ducting was installed along with a new WIFI thermostat. The installation went smoothly and on schedule and the final efficiency test results were better than originally quoted to us, which resulted in larger efficiency rebates and reduced our cost. As mentioned above, we also had them install a whole house fan which is a great complementary system to our new HVAC system, in that we can use it to minimize the use of the air conditioner and it is also a great way to quickly move large volumes of fresh air into the house. IP’s representatives that we worked with in their office and the installation crews were great. We signed up for a regular maintenance program which ensures that the system runs as designed and also qualified our new HVAC system for a longer warranty. IP completed their installation as scheduled before our remodel/room addition started and came back and installed the ducting to the room addition once the room addition was far enough along. We are happy that we contracted with Ideal Plumbing and would certainly highly recommend that they be considered by others for any HVAC work.

We have a 63 year old Home. As they began to demolish the existing bath, some major plumbing issues became evident. Joe Clark, the project manager throughout the remodel, was clear when describing the problem, the recommendations and the additional pricing involved. He and all members of his crew were professional, on time and cleaned up daily. They were responsive to all of our requests to make changes or take care of minor issues to our satisfaction.

Overall, they are generally efficient. Sometimes their prices are reasonable and sometimes their prices are high, it all depends on what you are having done. I think they were done within an hour.

Joel is another awesome employee of Ideal Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical. He did the installation of trim kits (I think that is what they are called) in the showers and tub/shower combo and did a great job. That was possible thanks to the hard work of Joe Clark who researched and found exactly what we needed to match our sink faucets. He knew what we needed and made sure we got them. We continue to be so impressed with the expertise of the Ideal employees in the various trades and their concern for their clients. Highly recommend Ideal.

How did it go? It went great!! I forgot that we needed two additional outlets in the kitchen before the granite backsplash was to be installed and Ideal Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical came through for me. I don't know how Rafael fit us in but he did. He came out and installed those needed kitchen outlets and also installed the new lights in the master bathroom plus added an outlet. He worked a miracle for us and we were and still are very grateful. Thank you, Rafael.

I am blanking on the name of the Ideal Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical employee who repaired the kitchen ceiling after the fluorescent lights were removed from the soffit. He deserves being mentioned by name so my apology. He did an excellent job. You absolutely cannot tell where he did the drywall repair and texturized to match the surrounding areas. He was definitely skilled in his craft. Thank you to him and to Ideal.

We are so pleased with the work done by Juan and Damien. They removed the fluorescent lights and installed recessed lights in the kitchen ceiling. It was a collaborative effort on their part to make sure that the new lights were where we wanted them. We felt very included in the decision process. They did other electrical work in several other rooms and were just as interested in getting our input. They knew what they were doing, were efficient, and it was important to them that we were happy with what they did. We were and we are! Plus, they were really nice guys. We would definitely hire them again. Ideal Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical is an awesome company with really nice employees.

I could not have asked for a better company to replace our water heater, HVAC system and they even built a new platform to hold the units! The planning and work was thorough and seemless. They made accomodations for my Autistic, whom has sensitivity to noise and does not do well with disruption to schedules. Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly! They even found discounts and rebates for us! Everything is working well!

I've used this company for at least 40 years and have always been happy with their work and professionalism. They are not the cheapest in town but when I've tried other plumbers, I was not always thrilled with the results. Ideal Plumbing and Heating guarantees their work and everyone at the company is friendly and considerate of my home.
