I think they're a little overpriced, but they're very professional. That's why I continue to use them. What I usually do is I call somebody else and get a second opinion and their price is not so much lower that I decide to go with them because I just trust this guy more.

We called Applewood and were relieved that they could send someone out within an hour or so. The tech was friendly and professional. He quickly determined our power problem was XCel Energy's responsibility. We were very happy to pay the trip charge of just $29; they did not charge extra even though it was both Sunday and a holiday. I highly recommend Applewood!

We ended up declining the service offer from applewood. The service was excellent. Making the appointment was easy and took almost no time. The service call charge of $29 seemed fair. Applewood dispatching provided good and timely information including sending a picture of the technician ahead of the visit. The technician, Tyler, was polite, seemed knowledgeable and competent and was easy to work with. He quickly diagnosed the problem. Unfortunately, the price offered to perform the capacitor replacement was $529. We had, in advanced, confirmed the issue and had done some research to find that the part to be replaced was about $20 and that the repair was simple to complete (several online videos were used to confirm). We thanked them, paid the service call and fixed it ourselves.

It was a lot. It was $2000 because they had to put different pipes in because everything was not done right for the size. They explained it all and it made sense. So we just said, "Go ahead and do it." Now I feel confident that the water heater is not going to leak and go all over the place. You get what you pay for. You can go over to Home Depot and get a water heater there, but they don't last as long. So, I just feel like we got our monies worth. The technicians are just really good. The pricing was fair for the job. They're same all the time. That's what I like, they're consistent. I know they're going to remind me, I know they're going to call when they're 15 minutes away, I know I'll get an e-mail with the guy's picture. I just know what it's going to be like all the time.

The guy that came out refused to do the work. He did nothing but go downstairs and sniff around and say oh you have a blockage. I think I might have paid extra for him to putter around the furnace. It was not a successful call.

We had not had heat in 24 hours. We had called our regular furnace guy and he was unable to help so we hit Angie's list. After the first company blew us off we tried applewood. I fell for the trap of seeing their trucks around town so they should be quality providers. Now I know why they have such fancy trucks. They charged us 4 times what the cost should have been. They quoted us a price and told us what was wrong. While the guy was nice and professional it was not nearly worth paying 4 times the price. They were even over an hour past the window in which they said they would be here. Unfortunately they had us because it was already 6:30pm on a Sunday and we couldn't call anyone else. We thought that we were probably being overcharged a little but when the repairman left and I looked up the part and what the labor should cost the part was only $45 so the labor at most maybe $100 right. We will not be using them again. They did call about 15 minutes after the guy left to ask our opinion and we told them what we had discovered. We were sent to a voicemail system to share our input so we will see if we hear back.

Applewood Plumbing was a wonderful experience with Mike! He was a life saver!! I had just gone through an awful experience with another plumbing company that left with the problem unresolved. Mike came in and picked up the pieces and fixed the problems the other company had created with my hot water heater and he also fixed two leaky pipes. He was very thorough, professional, and nice. He went above and beyond and took the time to explain to me the process and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend Applewood Plumbing to my family and friends!! Very impressed!

I have had a bad experience with this company in the past and while they handled it well, I was very hesitant to call Applewood again. A light switch sparked and tripped the breaker. I needed someone out this evening and called two other companies but couldn't get anyone to come out. So, I decided to try Applewood again. Tony was at my house within 40 minutes, was very kind and courteous, fixed the problem quickly and didn't charge as we have the gold membership. Honestly, today's prompt, professional and generous service call has won us back as customers. While Applewood isn't the cheapest company, you do get what you pay for and worth the few extra dollars.

The gentleman who came was very nice but not knowledgeable about water heaters in anyway, shape or form. I don't think he was a plumber. As one person said in another view, the first thing they do is sell you up to the membership. When I said that sounded like a good deal, he proceeded to try and relight the pilot light. It took him over an hour to find out what the problem was, he was constantly calling people to find out what he was looking at. When he was done with the conversations, there was 5 minutes of personal conversation about his schedule, his shifts, etc. He concluded that the whole hot water heater had to be replaced because it was "rusted," and that in order to be able to warranty the work, all the copper piping associated with it would have to be replaced. I told him that it had been replaced within the last 4 years, he said it didn't matter. I asked what the ballpark estimate was, he said $5-6,000.00. I paid him 29.00 for the visit. When he backed the truck out of the driveway, he went right into the ditch and got stuck. He called to get help. I gave him a drink and said that I needed to go upstairs and sit down (I'm disabled and have bad knees). I pulled out a chair for him to sit in, gave him my remote control and said that he could watch tv until the tow truck came. He said that instead, he was come upstairs with me and "visit." He said that the estimated time for the tow truck was an hour and a half. Before he left, he said that he would call me the next day. I called the company later in the afternoon (the next day) and let them know that he had promised me a call and had not called back. I also told them everything that I mentioned above because It was very unprofessional and extremely taxing appointment for me and that I was disappointed that no one had called to apologize. I thought they needed to know how inconvenienced I was and why I was choosing not to do business with them. The next day, a woman called (I can only guess she was in the Sales Depatment, she did not leave her title with the message) and very condescendingly, apologized for the guy getting stuck in the ditch BUT wanted to explain to me what the charges were going to be. I got the impression that since I was a female, they had asked her to call me because they thought she could smooth out the issues and be sold more successfully because she could relate to me better, as a female. I also found out that the gentleman came to my house earlier in the day to talk with me. I thought that was very inappropriate especially since he didn't have an appointment After complaining to them that this appointment had transpired which in my opinion was exhausting, a waste of my time, and downright creepy and having them takeaway that I was upset by the fact that the gentleman was stuck in the ditch, that let me know that no one listens and that their only goal was to suck every single penny out of me that they could. My only regret is that I didn't tell the guy to wait in his truck or call the police to ask them to stay away from me. Or, to ask for my money back. I'm just too creeped out.
Description of Work: I made an appointment for Applewood to come and restart my Hot Water Heater after the room that is in, had been under the water table for a month and a half.

The gentleman that came over was very nice and professional. He did a nice job explaining where the problems in the line were and what was causing it. He explained how they would fix it. Everything was fine except the price. Way out of line. We received about 4-5 quotes and Applewood was more than double most of the other quotes. I understand some lower quotes we received were not all inclusive and/or did not include a warranty. But the company we went with gave us a warranty, the quote was all inclusive and they did an amazing job! We had called Applewood one another time prior to this to replace a garbage disposal and they quoted us $900. The service and responsiveness was fine. The price is far too high.

Applewood came out on an emergency hot water replacement job. Their quote to replace the gas hot water was laughable - $3,000. They were sent packing, and the installer stormed out of the house and raced out through the neighborhood. They engage in deceptive business practices by refusing to quote a price before arriving at the house, but once at the house all prices are quoted from their pricing book. They know that if they quote the book price over the phone, they won't be invited to the house. I talked to one of their managers - Jennifer who stood by the bid and by their deceptive business practices. Never Again with this company!'

Called applewood for a leaking hot water heater. Tech arrived as scheduled and was friendly. He confirmed that the existing hot water heater was leaking and needed a replacement. He shared that with the law changes, there wasn't a compatible solution to work in my house configuration and let me know about two options. First was to replace natural gas with electric for a cost of $6500.00 or install a tankless for $11,000.00. This was ridiculous. I had the tech bypass leaky tank and let him know I would find an alternative option. The simple bypass cost $450 which I also think was absurd for 90 min of effort and a few feet of pipe. I later looked at Lowes and found a replacement natural gas tank for $600 that would fit in my house. I will a different plumber to install.

I had them come out and take a look at my furnace. They figured out that the controller board is not functioning and needed to be replaced. They wanted to charge me $1600. I checked my self and the board was about $50 and the job should take about an hour. I believe Applewood is price-gouging during the winter time.
