The work was done quickly and professionally. There was a small unintended event where some pvc glue spilled on our new white freezer, but it's ithe basement, so no big deal.
The furnace has worked fine and follow up questions were answered quickly.
The leaking drain was not fixed in spite of 2 different visits, months apart (they did not accurately diagnose what was leaking either time). I had to contact a different plumbing service to get this fixed.
The burst pipe was repaired, but the repair leaked. When I called them back, the plumber came right out. He could see the evidence of the leak, but could not see it actively leaking at the moment, so could not isolate where it was leaking. I figured out later that week where it was leaking, and my tenant called back to be treated very rudely by the service person who took the call and stated that the plumber found no leak so it wasn't leaking and they wouldn't come out without charging us. (When the plumber had come back, he fully acknowledged that he clearly saw the evidence that the pipe had been leaking after his work.) I called back later, got it cleared up, and the plumber came out and actually fixed the leak in the pipe he had replaced. It took 3 visits, but the burst pipe was repaired and remained leak free.
While he was doing the first fix to the burst pipe, I was draining the water heater (turned off) for a drain/flush. (No water anyway, good time to drain out the water heater.) I told the plumber what I was doing, that the water heater was shut off, draining, and not to touch it as I would finish taking care of it myself later. The plumber 'fixed' the burst pipe, failed to fix the leaking drain, and then messed with the water heater, turning it on and filling it, causing a burst element in the heater. I called the owner about this and the failed repairs, and he was not professional at all. My water heater was old, yes, but his plumber had done things he was explicitly told not to do, ultimately harming my ability to have hot water until the water heater element was replaced. He refused to acknowledge any responsibility for the actions of his plumber. He said the water heater was my problem as it was old. Even thought his plumber had messed with it after being explicitly and directly told to leave it be, he refused any responsibility for the resulting damage. He got on my case for not paying the bill for repairing the leaking drain when the drain was leaking just as bad after. He finally decided it was in his best interest to cut his losses, or something. He refused to send anyone else out to actually fix what they had been hired (and paid at least once) to fix in the first place, and he refused to take responsibility for his plumber breaking my water heater, but said he would cancel the billing, and said I would have to call someone else to get the plumbing fixed. In the end, even with the canceled billing, I had paid hundreds of dollars for repairs that still leaked afterward because the plumber did not bother to make sure he had it all right and a broken water heater element because the plumber refused to leave it alone..
I had to call another plumber to fix the problems that Canfield couldn't/didn't/wouldn't AND the problems they created. If I can remember who did the follow up repair, I give them a review as their plumber had to actually work at the leak problem, but got it right and we have had no leaks since then.
Canfield might be good for basic or easy jobs, and they will come out on a moment's notice for an emergency repair, and their prices are not horrible for emergency repairs, but beware if you have what might be a more challenging problem, especially if the leak (either that you call them for, or that they create during their repair) is intermittent. Ladies, don't bother calling. There isn't a very good chance of being treated with respect. They might be fine in a pinch for other people, but beware if your problem is going to inconvenience them.
Also, on the first day of using the new furnace, it leaked water all over my basement floor. To his credit, Greg came out on a Sunday morning and fixed it, as well as offering to have the carpets dried out. He said the problem was a connection that was loose. Not sure if that was the fault of the Rheem factory or the installer.
The installers were polite, professional and punctual. Everything has performed flawlessly since that first and only mishap.
