I highly recommend them.
I contacted Academy and another local company to get quotes for replacing my old evaporative cooler with a new high-efficiency unit. Both Academy and the competitor were A-rated on Angie's List. Academy Plumbing came in over $800 lower than the other bid. While I'm not one to always go with the lowest bidder, the difference was a little too much to ignore. I scheduled an appointment.
They arrived on time and completed the work within the estimate they gave (about 4 hours). The technician was very professional and answered all my questions. As part of the job, he removed the old electrical box and replaced the water supply line and sillcock. All work was of the highest quality. The Aerocool unit they installed is sturdy and well-made.
The one complaint: the tech routed the bleed-off line into a dry vent instead of a sewer vent. As it turns out, this "vent" went basically nowhere, into a wall cavity. After half an hour, I noticed water on the carpet in the hallway. I quickly turned off the unit, rerouted the line and called them back. In his defense, I live in an older home and there are several "mysteries", so I'm not surprised he mistook the pipe protruding from the roof for a plumbing vent. He returned promptly, vacuumed up the water and rectified the problem. He also taped over the vent to prevent rain from getting in. The upshot of this is that my house now has one less mystery!
Overall, I'm very pleased with Academy Plumbing and would recommend them--good work, reasonable price, professional. When there was a problem, they returned quickly, cleaned everything up and made it right.
I had them come out again this October to winterize the cooler - work was done promptly and on time. They also suggested that they could turn on the boiler for the radiant heat system as part of the same service - included in the price.
We'd had the original installer of the boiler come out and check it, but next year we'll have Academy do the whole job.
Highly recommended.
