I hired this guy to install a new water heater in my house. He and his assistant set the new water heater up and before the job was done, Chuck left to go to the next job leaving his assistant to finish up wiring the new water heater and testing it out. The assistant could not get the new unit to turn on because the circuit breaker at the main house supply box would not turn on. The assistant dismissed this and said my problem was with the circuit box and not with the water heater. I asked him if he wired it properly and he emphatically said "yes", and that I now would have to hire an electrician to determine the problem. He did not go back and check his own wiring job. Chuck's assistant charged me $1,275 for the work done, despite still not having a water heater that worked and not knowing exactly why.
The next day I was able to get the lead electrician from GAC Services in Gaithersburg (Bruce Moore who I cant speak highly enough) to analyze the problem. He checked the wiring done by Chuck's assistant and found that the wires were "pinched" in the J-box causing a dead short, not allowing the breaker to set. This findings were detailed on the electrician's bill. The electrician had to cut out the bad wires and rewire the water heater.
When I called Chuck to explain the problem and request reimbursement for the electrician, Chuck went nuts over the phone. He called me a liar. He said that the electrician was a liar. He said that no matter what I would tell him, it would be a lie. He wouldn't allow me to explain how his assistant kept trying over and over to make the circuit breaker set, when in fact the water heater had a short and the circuit breaker was only doing its job. Thr conversation went downhill from there.
There are plenty of good, honest, ethical plumbers in Montgomery County who stand behind their work. I learned the hard way with this ugly experience. Don't make the same mistake I did.....
