It went very well. The plumbers were very polite and professional, explained and showed us what they did after completion and did an exceptional job of cleaning up when they were finished.

They're really nice. I thought there was something wrong with my furnace. They ran a diagnostic and adjusted my thermostat as opposed to charging me for a larger issue.

Twice this summer Bair saved me from plumbing disaster--this time we were having radon remediation done in a house we were selling when we discovered a leak in the drain pipe. They came immediately and replaced about 15' of badly corroded cast iron pipe. Totally professional, thorough and no complaints about the low-overhead crawl space they were working in. The radon guys were able to finish the job as planned, saving us from a 2 1/2 week delay. I've been a satisfied customer for over 20 years and this summer they just confirmed my faith in the quality of their services!

"We are sorry for the miscommunication with Carmen. However, we were concerned for you and your family when it was discovered that the bathroom ceiling drywall was blackened. We are not certified to re-mediate these types of issues. We only recommended to have the blackened drywall evaluated and cleaned up. We never stated that you needed gut your entire bathroom. We are sorry to lose you as a customer."

While replacing my kitchen faucet myself, I had a leaking shut-off valve. All of the shut-off valves under the sink were quite old, and so I purchased replacements and attempted to install them myself. I was able to remove the cold-water shut-off valve, but was having trouble installing the new one (couldn't get it tight enough to engage the ferrule) and I was unable to remove the hot-water shut-off valve (nut was stuck and I couldn't turn it). Unable to turn my home's water back on until this was done, in desperation I called Robert Bair Plumbing. A plumber arrived within about 1.5 hours and was able remove/install the shut-off valves (he had to cut off the one that was stuck).
My doit myself faucet replacement was a bit more expensive than anticipated, but I appreciate the quick help that I needed. The plumber was polite and all-business and got the job done quickly (about 20 minutes).

They did a good job. However service tech told me I might need a new furnace. I called the office and got a more detailed explanation and it was determined I didn't need a new furnace. Kind of hit or miss on the techs. Some really good, some just ok. You need to follow up.

The technician came out on time and was extremely professional. Gave me three options to decide on...1. Replace the unit with a reputable pump, 2. Replace the switch only or 3. I could buy the pump myself and they would come back to install....the tech was not pushy at all. Thoroughly answered my list of questions (thanks for being patient). Performed the work in a timely manner and left the work area clean. Recommended and installed a quality product. Great job from this company, I highly recommend them.

I had some plumbing work done. It was a long time ago and I think I ended up using a company called Robert Bair Plumbing. It wasn't long that it took them to replace all of that, it was maybe half a day or something. They actually had to come back because they had to order a part so they had to come back but all in total maybe half a day. There were no unexpected issues that I recall, not really, it went pretty smoothly, it went on right. They are top grade overall. I think they were comparable for the price. The valve that they replaced was pretty expensive and that is what really raised the price. I think overall the price was real reasonable and I would give him a high grade on the price also. The responsiveness was tops. They were very responsive, very professional and I was very happy with them.

I had a gas leak at my mother's house in the basement near the furnace.   The gas company came to shut off the gas as is protocol.  I called and scheduled an appointment with Robert Bair Plumbing because their sticker was on (ironically) the pipe that was leaking.  They said that a plumber would be out between 4-8pm that evening.  At 8pm, I called to find out where he was only to hear that I should "call the office" in the morning to schedule service for the following day because they were "just too busy."

The scheduled low temperature for the evening was 1 degree!  I mentioned that this was an emergency as the pipes would surely freeze (older house).  I asked for her to call someone to use some common sense and the response was "I'm just the answering service."

I called another plumber and he drove from his home (45 minutes away) at 8:30pm and fixed it, in the cold.  What makes it

worse is that Robert Bair had installed the furnace and some new gas piping fairly recently.  The guy who fixed it couldn't believe the way they installed the piping (no way to make a repair without cutting pipes and re-inserting new unions).  Apparently, the poor installation was the culprit and had caused the leak in the first place.

I've used Robert Bair on my house in the past and always found them to be average in terms of service, responsiveness and professionalism (quite expensive too).  Last night has convinced me to delete them from my contact list.

"We take these reviews very seriously. We have reached out to the customer by phone and are working toward a resolution regarding this misunderstanding. We do feel that it is important to clarify and address some of the alleged wrongdoings. It was not mentioned in the review that the customer’s mother does not live in this home, and it is vacant. Our technician did arrive the residence between the agreed upon time frame, he knocked on all doors, but no one answered. When the technician received no response he contacted our dispatch for instructions; our dispatch had the technician wait while we tried to contact the customer by phone. We were not able to reach the customer, but did leave a voice-mail. We had the technician wait at the residence for 15 minutes in hopes that the customer would call back. We did not hear back from the customer and our technician was instructed to go to his next job. We admit fault in the miscommunication between our dispatch and the customer, and sincerely apologize. It is our protocol to contact all customers 20-30 minutes before the technician is dispatched. We called the customer’s home line instead of the cell number so the customer did not have the notice he needed to arrive at the vacant residence, and was unable to be made aware that we were on site. Once again we are very sorry. We have addressed the inappropriate and unacceptable response that the customer received from our outsourced answering service. We have not installed a furnace at this residence. Our records indicate that this residence has an existing boiler. Our service records show that we have made some minor repairs to the boiler, but we have not performed any installs or major repairs that would include a re-pipe of any of the original configurations on your boiler. It is our policy to provide equipment stickers and major valve tags for customers ease in an emergency, which is the reason that our safety tag could be found so readily on your gas valve. It is our intention to continue to work toward resolution with this customer and hope that he chooses to remain a part of the Robert Bair Plumbing, Heating & Air Family."
