Upon his departure, the elderly individual whose AC unit was repaired felt confident the unit was functioning properly and that the service personnel would return if it stopped working.
This is the 3rd time I have used Bob Rath Pand H and feel confident to recommend their services.
Though the worker was unaware of the sale that was available to be purchased or what it had included, he went straight to work. The work was done neatly and without any side talk about the job needing extra added stuff to bulk up the price further. After examining the Angie's Coupon, the worker seemed a bit flustered but figured it out. He did seem to charge a little more than the coupon but for the work he did the price was almost two hundred dollars less than another quote I had received. An overall positive experience.
"Thank you Member for your response! We're glad that Tim was able to take care of your plumbing needs. Just a reminder, we also service your heating and air conditioning for your home. Be sure to check our website www.rathplumbing.com for our monthly specials."
"Member, Thank you for being a customer of Bob Rath Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning since 2001. We deeply regret any communication issue that we may have had regarding your job. We try to keep an accurate history on each of our customers, but we must have missed that piece of information. On the job on Meyersville Rd. we came out to your home and returned the next day to replace the faulty part at no charge to you. We did not realize that you were not happy. We try to call our customers back to make sure everything was completed with your satisfaction. We would like the opportunity to serve you again, since our customers' happiness is our highest goal! If you have any plumbing, heating or air conditioning needs or you want to chat with a technician from our office, feel free to call us anytime at 908.754.6686"
"Member, We are sorry for the experience that you received. We try to be as professional as possible and this was definately not up to our standards! We usually send out our estimates within three days (depending on the amount of work done) and it is usually sent by e-mail. If you have any other needs, feel free to use one of our other technicians who are more than qualified to come out and look over any plumbing, heating or air conditioning needs that you might have. We have evening appointments available for your convenience, since many of our customers work and cannot get home during the day. Again, we are sorry for the experience you received and look forward to when we can meet with you again!"
"Member, Thank you for calling Bob Rath Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning in 2004 for the estimate. We're glad to hear you were happy with our response time and the professionalism of our staff! We're sorry that our estimate was higher than the others. It may have been the way that the technician viewed the routing of the pipe. It was a labor intensive job and we gave you a price of a little more than $800.00. If there is any plumbing, heating or air conditioning questions you may have, feel free to call our office and we would love to have a chat with you! 908.754.6686"
"Thank you member for the great review! We are grateful for your confidence in our business and are always there for our customers when they need our services."
The only issue I have with Bob Rath Plumbing is that he has significantly higher prices than the competition. Now for important stuff that absolutely needs to be done quickly and correctly, I can justify the higher prices because he is a great plumber who will do the job, but for the smaller jobs, I have been using other plumbers who don't charge quite so much. I guess its like trying to hire a heart specialist to take care of the common cold...
"Thank you for your kind remarks! It was a pleasure working with you. Even though the bathroom remodeling took sometime to complete, I'm glad you're enjoying your "retreat"!"
