4.6k+ Do not use this company. This would be a 0-star review if Angi would allow it. TL;DR: Two service calls and almost $1000 later I had a boiler that was no longer working, had a leak in the backflow valve, and had been cursed out and hung up on by the owner. What happened: I called the...
Dmytro did a great job. They were very fast to do the assessment, provide a fair quote, and do the job. He took time and care to identify a few unexpected issues based on the previous boiler and fix them when he did the boiler replacement
PHD Heating and CoolingRonnie handled the boiler - good job and diagnosis. Brian worked on the plumbing. Both were professional, friendly, and know their craft
American Vintage Home Heating Cooling & PlumbingReeder's technician showed up promptly at the scheduled time, and inspected the boiler and its elements. He confirmed that the backflow was preventing the system from pressurizing. He said he had to submit his findings and the company would be in touch. A month goes by and I call Reeder for...
I have a Buderus Boiler and have had several contractors out previously to service it. Since it's a European Boiler, each time they'd need to learn how the system works. Chris from Paragon came out and was already very familiar with the boiler. He opened it up and immediately saw one part...
Aaron showed up within 30 minutes of me placing a service call. He was very knowledgeable. He was here for about an hour and fixed our boiler. I will definitely use them in the future (and request Aaron!).
Ibbotson Heating & Air Conditioning CoCame out for an estimate to replace our 50 year old boiler with a new high efficiency unit. Their estimate came in 40% higher than the other two estimates so we did not use them.
Deljo Heating & CoolingWe use the same package for the same service every year and it comes with a discount if you end up needing a repair the following year. We are very happy with the service and will continue to use them in the future. They're also neat, and don't leave a mess. They do air conditioning and...
American WeathermakersThe pipe burst in the sprinkler system. They fixed it. They worked on the boiler and radiators. They were attentive, excellent, thorough and courteous. They did not leave a mess. Their prices were reasonable. I did not have to get the same job done twice. They did an excellent job.

"Installation went very well, but at the end I noticed the floor anchors are sticking out too much and the caps are not covering them. After I asked the installer if he can trim it, he said he doesn’t have hand saw and cannot use his power saw to do it. He told me I will have to buy my own saw and cut it myself. That defeats the purpose of hiring and paying for a professional to do their job!"

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
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.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
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.
