"They told us "Our dispatch fee to come out is $39 and we waive that towards any work or repairs, including diagnostics." The electrician went to check and stayed at the property for less than 5 mins after confirmation to do full diagnostic of the electrical system. I don't think less than 5 mins is enough to run a full diagnostic and later on advise to upgrade the whole panel."

Since 1996, Ragsdale Heating, Air, Plumbing and Electrical has worked to maintain our reputation as the name you can trust for your heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical needs. Our Ragsdale team is comprised of truly good people, who care deeply and are devoted to taking exceptional care of our customers, our community, and each other. From the people in our office to the technicians out on the road, everyone here is dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction. We are a family who treats you like family, and we are 100% focused on doing what is right every time, every day. Our goal is for you to take comfort in knowing that when you have a problem, Ragsdale is here for you.
"Although the technicians are very nice. As a company Ragsdale has failed us miserably. We spent about 18K to have our whole system upgraded and new insulation in the attic. We followed the recommendation of their sales person to the letter. He ASSURED us that in spending all that money we would not have any more issues cooling our home. Immediately there were more issues. The A/C unit they installed outside dies in 3 days. It was a lemon I guess. And when they went to replace that they also saw that the sales person didn’t notice that the circuit breaker was not the right one to handle the new unit. They had recommended we add new intakes in two rooms so we had done that as well. Like I said we did everything he told us we needed to do to solve any cooling issues. Still two rooms don’t cool well, my office and our master bedroom. We have reached out a few times and they send someone to look. Every time they have different recommendations from a second unit to another thermostat, tinting the windows, keep the blinds closed etc. I have tinted the windows and we keep the blinds closed, but another unit or another thermostat are just not things we can afford to pay for out of pocket. Two times I was told a supervisor would reach out to us but they never did. The guy today, again he was very nice. Said we should buy wireless sensors to connect to our thermostat so it knows to keep cooling. That’s another $100 out of our pocket. He said there should be a second cooling vent in our master bedroom as well. Yet another thing they didn’t recommend when we bought this system that we were assured would be more than enough to cool our home. All these things we would have considered and/or done if we were told they were needed when we spent the money. But the I think commissioned sales person didn’t really know what he was doing now. He was just looking to make a sale and didn’t care wether it actually fixed the issue or not, he got paid either way. Again today I try to call and speak to someone before I left this review. I sat on home for 5-10 min with the recording telling me my place in line and to hold to speak to someone. Just to get the general voicemail to leave a message. We are stuck with them now, they do the warranty work so they do the yearly maintenance to keep the warranty. But I would NOT recommend til his company to anyone right now. They have completely failed us and taken our money without actually doing what their sales person assured us would happen. Very disappointed avoid them for your own good"

Franklin's Septic has been in business since 1979. We offer complete septic care. Check us out on the bbb.org website today. Call us today for a great deal!
"I contacted Mr. Franklin for what I thought was regular maintenance. I had never had the septic pumped before and was unsure where the tank was located as there were no visible indication of the piping. Mr. Franklin poked around but could not locate the piping so he contacted the County Health Department and obtained a copy of the blue print outlining the location of the septic tank. Turns out the line was inactive and the tank did not need to be pumped. After all the trouble Mr. Franklin went through between the drive out here, the hour he spent poking around trying to find the septic tank and waiting for the county to call back, he refused to accept any money from me. He would not even accept a trip charge. In a world were honesty just doesn't seem to exist anymore, it is so good to know that there are still trustworthy businesses out there! Mr. Franklin's knowledge of what to look for toppled with the time he took just to educate me is just priceless! I wish all businesses was like Franklin Septic!"

The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
