Description of Work: I have used James A Wheat & Sons for plumbing and HVAC for years and have been very satisfied. I highly recommend their Eagle agreement service plans for both systems--they've saved me money and allowed me access to emergency after-hours service without a hassle.

Description of Work: I needed two valves replaced under the kitchen sink. The plumber arrived and gave me an estimate, which was quite expensive. When I hesitated, the plumber then told me James A. Wheat and Sons was too expensive and he had his own company, which would be much cheaper. He then proceeded to give me his business card and told me to call him. I felt this was extremely unethical and just wanted him to leave. I ended up paying $35 for the visit. I then contacted James A. Wheat and Sons to inform them about what happened. They acknowledged receipt of my email and agreed it was equivalent to theft, but made no further effort to contact me or refund the $35. I found a reputable company for a much lower price.

Response from James A Wheat & Sons Inc
We completely agree that the former employee was completely out of line. We can't thank you enough for coming forward and letting the office know of the situation. We addressed that situation immediately. My understanding is that my service manager offered you a discounted repair, providing you prices as though you were an existing Eagle Club Member . As I've stated in this website numerous times, you are going to find a plumber that will be willing to do the job for less money than we charge. A very good friend of mine runs a one man shop, does great work and is listed on Angie's List with a great rating. I love this guy and trust him to death, but we don't offer the same services. We both offer plumbing services, but simply put its not apples to apples. The rating here is based on professionalism which was clearly a problem that was unknown to management. We thank you for bring it to our attention. The pricing you were provided, the actual service provided was accurate and fair. We offered you a discount to provide the repairs because of the situation. The "theft" occurred to James A. Wheat & Sons, not you the customer. However, because of the situation we did offer you discounted repairs. Thank you Michael M. Wheat

Description of Work: James A Wheat has become my go to plumber. They have snaked lines, fixed nine burst pipes from last year's polar vortex, and added a shut off valve to the dishwasher after it overflowed. It's been a rough year for water in our house.

Description of Work: After a 5 year old furnace died due to a poor installation job, I decided to go with the best. These guys were so attentive, so neat, so thorough. The bid process was wonderful and the saleman responded to my numerous calls with questions about the bid. We decided to add the additional insulation work that was contributing to our lack of cooling problem and they sent an awesome subcontractor who was also extremely cautious of their equipment going through my home to the attic. They may be a bit more expensive, but so far (judging by the installation), I'd say it was well worth it.

Description of Work: I had water backing up into the kitchen sink every time the shower was used or the toilet was flushed. The technicians arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the problem. They then clearly took their time to explain the solution and all associated cost. After giving me a clear breakdown I confirmed I wanted the repairs and they were soon on their way. They were fast, efficient, courteous, and very professional. I would use them again for any major plumbing issue. Also, booking the appointment was easy and also efficient!

Description of Work: The technician went out of his way to be helpful and provide me with the best service at lowest cost! He checked out my A/C system and replaced 2 parts. Recommended new filters, but the one on my humidifier was too hard for me to reach. The technician said that after I bought a new humidifier filter, he would be happy to come back and put it in for me - at no extra charge. That's customer service!
