They had hoped to have the work completed sooner, however, it took longer than expected. I appreciated thefact that they worked diligently to be sure that everythig was correctly done and completed. The plumber and owner Raciel had a copy of his license to show me while on site. This was very professional. Brookland Plumbing does not normally do Saturday calls; however, they agreed to help us out on Saturday--it took most of the day. The receptionist at Brookland Plumbing was exceptional. I called three plubming companies but eventually went with Brookland Plumbing because of the customer service provided by the receptionist, Silvina. She was vey responsive to me as a customer. She called to provide information and worked out something for me so that the plumbers would come out on a Saturday so that we could have hot water. She also assisted me in purchasing a water heater with another company and called ahead to ensure that all the parts needed for the hot water heater needed would be ready. I only had to call in to pay for the water heater and Brookland Plumbing picked it up. Silvina provided information and put everything in writing to be sure I understood what I was getting into. On yesterday, 2/12/13, I reached out to Brookland Plumbing for another plumbing issue in my bathroom. A plumber was sent out and the repair was done the same day! I would highly recommend their services.

Stang came out last November to try and figure out why they were not working properly. They came out again with a Noritz representative in January 2011 and the conclusion was that I need to added a third heater. They said that I need a another system installed but the new system needed to be the exact model as my others. The respresentative gave Stang the information for a local plumbing resource to obtain the additional heater. Once they got a price of the heater, Stang was to send me a price to install. During our discussion, I told John (Stang) to "just go ahead a do whatever needs to be done if this will solve the problem". I called repeatedly for an update or a price or even if they are capable of doing the upgrade since it involved moving the existing heaters and installing the third. I have been trying to get ahold of John for months on end with no response. It got to the point where I just wanted the information of the plumbing supplier so that I could contact them to purchase the third heater--as the heaters were discontinued and I wanted to obtain one while they were still available and then have another plumber install it. All I needed from Stang was the contact information, which they have refused to give me. (John gave me his personal cell phone number at the beginning of this process so I could always get in touch with him but I have always contacted their office). Every message I have left with their office to call me back was never returned. I have been very patient and all I am asking for is a response from this company with the contact information of both the Noritz representative and the plumbing supply house so that I can move forward. To have to wait over a year for a response is truly unprofessional--especially since they could have given me this information back in January 2011 when he was here but he said the would handle everything! This is a custom home and I told John that we wanted the problem fixed, if he could fix it. Price was never an issue and I never received a price proposal from Stang. I believe he never contacted the plumbing resource because the work was outside the scope of his expertise. I believe this because while he was here in January with the Noritz representative, the representative had to explain to him what to do and how to fix the problem. The Noritz representative also told John that his employees (including himself) could take training classes on how to do this work to educate themselves.
As soon as I get the information that I need, the problem will be fixed by another plumber at whatever price it takes.
To say that we had "at least two other plumbing contractors that had already been involved in trying to meet the members needs" is a flat out lie. We joined Angie's List to find a plumber to find out what our problem was. We found Stang listed on the Honor Role and called them because they were close to us. They were the one and only company we have had look at this problem. To date, we have paid them $614.00 and we are still waiting for a response from them.
UPDATE: I had e my problem fixed by another local plumber. It turned out that all that was needed was a diverter (part) that cost ~$200.00, which he purchased through The Plumbery in Mt. Airy. The staff there knew immediately who the manufacturer was and ordered the part. The problem was that the dial was broken and would not turned completely for more hot water. That is why the water would not get hot. Now that it is installed, my problem is fixed. Boy to think that I would have spent THOUSANDS with Stang is mind blowing.

We hired them to clean our two chimneys and at this time they recommended that we install sterling silver linings in both of our flues due to a fire hazard. Based on the information provided to us by this company, we decided to install a sterling silver tube in our downstairs chimney/flue. The company spent almost 10 hours installing the sterling silver tube on January 13. That evening, our boiler shut off and the radiators turned off. We had no heat. The next day we paid for an emergency visit by a plumber, who told us a carbon monoxide sensor in the boiler was triggered and recommended we contact Priddy Clean Chimney Sweep. It turns out that Priddy Clean Chimney Sweep was completely negligent in recommending the installation of a lining in our flue because they cut off the exhaust pipe of our boiler. As a result, we spent three days without heat in January due to our legitimate fear of carbon monoxide poisoning. When Priddy returned to fix the problem, they ended up hitting some pipe that flooded our basement (our tenants unit). There was about an inch of water in our tenant?s bedroom. They spent all day working on the issue and never found a solution. They just pulled out the silver lining and left. The problem was that our house is 115 years old and at one point was heated by coal, resulting in the boiler venting into the chimney flue. A competent chimney company would have checked to ensure that this was not the case before installing a sterling silver lining that created a serious hazard to our home and health. Even though Priddy Clean Chimney Sweep refunded most of our money, we still felt at a severe disadvantage after spending three days with no heat and paying for a plumber to come out. I would highly recommend not using this company. They created a dangerous situation that resulted in us being in fear for our health, our home, and wasted over 20 hours of our time."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/beltsville/priddy-chimney-solutions-reviews-162748.htm"},"position":10}]}

Customer Satisfaction is our number one priority and we promise that we can make a real impact in your home in a way that keeps you happy every step of the way.
"Atlas home energy solutions did an outstanding job from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, courteous and easy to work with. All the crew members Ben Mott (was very knowledgeable, did the home energy audit, followed up with competitive quotes, which was adjusted to accommodate my request, offered BGE rebates upfront, patient and friendly to attend my calls and answer all the questions), Zam (Crew leader who did the exhaust fan installation), Tun (Crew leader who did an outstanding job to insulate the attic and basement), David (Crew leader who did duct cleaning and Aeroseal) were phenomenal and did an outstanding job. The end result is a day and night difference before and after the work and my BGE bill last month went down by more than $100 which is a huge cost saver. The HVAC does not run that much these days and the temperature is pretty even across the 30-year townhouse. I highly recommend Atlas home energy solutions for home energy audit and improvements."

"Excellent service! I had a 26yr old A/C and Propane furnace that I wanted to update to an ALL ELECTRIC high efficiency heat pump. The price in the estimate was much higher than I was expecting, but they worked with me and brought it down considerably, provided I could accept an install slot in a couple of days due to a cancellation. Go for it, I thought! Unfortunately, it turned out that the estimator/salesman (who shall remain nameless) apparently got a bit confused and set up the equipment as a hybrid propane system - not the all-electric system that I wanted. Ugh. I only realized this when the installers had the indoor unit in place, and I saw the propane burners. Doh! So, I explained the situation to them, and they pulled the unwanted unit out and jumped through the hoops to order the correct unit and its accessories (wiring, breakers etc.), with no change to the price. They were very friendly and polite through all of this even though it meant the wasted work and that they had to come back the next day with the new IDU. Anyway, the final install all went well, and they were very friendly and respectful of the property and explained all the install details as they went (sorry Melvin, for all the pestering!) I'm very happy with the company and the installer's knowledge and professionalism. RECOMMENDED!"

"Edmond responded right away and listened to my explanation of the issue over the phone. It was Friday afternoon and we both agreed the issue was non-urgent so we scheduled an early Monday morning visit. He showed up at 8a sharp as we agreed and he did a thorough check of our AC system. Edmond is very knowledgeable and he explained everything thoroughly. He gave me a couple of suggestions. I’m pretty handy so I’ll try to tackle it myself. He said to just call him if I get stuck and he could either come back out or coach me over the phone. Pricing is reasonable and quality of service is top-notch. I’ll keep them on speed dial and I highly recommend Hecomo for HVAC service!"

"I accidentally broke the PVC pipe leading out of the condensation drain coming out of my air conditioning unit. (This may seem to be a minor problem, but that is only because you didn't have to haul the buckets of water produced during this heat spell to the sump pump drain.) I put in the request on Monday afternoon. They arrived first thing Tuesday morning -- early. It took them all of about 15 minutes. I could not ask for better service. They were prompt, professional, friendly, and courteous."

When Glenmont Heating & Air Conditioning was founded 28 years ago, we had one goal in mind; providing area families, and businesses with solutions that fit their lifestyles and needs, as well as their wallets. If you have any questions about heating and air conditioning maintenance, a new HVAC system, or are looking into installing a more energy efficient system, Glenmont Heating and Air is the solution to your needs.
"Not Recommended for Thermostat Replacement — Unreasonable and Unfair $700 Charge I do not recommend Glenmont Air Conditioning & Heating for thermostat replacement work. I was charged $700 for a simple thermostat replacement, which I believe was unreasonably high and unfair. I was under the impression that the quoted estimate represented the maximum expected cost only if the technician had to perform additional wiring or complex installation work. If you want to install an Ecobee or any other type of thermostat, you can simply YouTube the installation, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to unwire, label, and rewire to the new thermostat. For my installation, I was under the impression that additional wiring might be needed, but it turned out to be a straightforward swap of the old thermostat with a new Ecobee unit, a process that took only about 15 minutes. Despite that, I was still charged the full amount. The Ecobee Premium thermostat itself costs around $250, meaning they charged nearly $500 just for labor, regardless of how simple or quick the installation is. To make matters worse, the installation only comes with a 30-day warranty, which hardly justifies such a high price. I tried to communicate and explain that this charge was unreasonably high and unfair, but they simply said, “It is what it is.” If you’re considering a thermostat installation, I strongly suggest hiring a professional through Thumbtack, where qualified experts can do the same job for under $150 with transparent pricing and good service. I expected fairness, honesty, and reasonable pricing from Glenmont, but unfortunately, that was not my experience."

"They installed our AC system; that went fine. But several years later, when it needed repair. They came out and looked at the problem, and then ghosted me. They didn't return my multiple calls. When I finally got somebody else to come out to look at the problem, they told me that the warranty had just expired on the part that needed replacing. Putting 2 +2 together, Buric ghosted me to run out the clock on my warranty for the repair of the product they installed. Would you ever hire anybody who behaves like that???"

Plumbing Heating Companies questions, answered by experts
Just as frozen pipes can cause a blocked sink that won’t drain, frozen toilet pipes can block water from flushing down the drain pipe and prevent the tank from refilling, depending on which lines are frozen. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can fill the toilet tank or bowl with warm water and flush, allowing the water to thaw the pipe as it rushes through.
The lifespan of bathroom pipes is between 20 and 100 years. This is a wide range, so to narrow it down, it helps to know which type of material your pipes are made from. Copper and cast iron have the longest lifespan—between 50 and 100 years—while other materials, such as galvanized steel and brass, last for 50 years or less.
Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They’re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home’s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.
The normal water level in a toilet bowl is about halfway full. The water should sit above the P trap drain because this creates a seal and suction. When you flush the toilet, the suction keeps sewer gases from entering your house through your toilet. Anytime the water level is higher or lower than half full, you need to make adjustments or replace broken parts.
Toilet handles can get stuck for a couple of reasons, but it’s commonly an issue with the chain. Remove the lid and check the chain’s connection, running from the flapper to the handle arm. Sometimes the chain gets snagged on or against another part of the tank.
The chain might not have the right tension. For example, a chain that’s too short can make the handle feel stuck. Check that there’s some slack in the chain. Old, worn-out flappers can get stuck, too. In this case, you’ll need to see which size toilet flapper you need.
