We were recently scammed by a plumbing company (Plumbing and Bath Blus, LLC f/k/a Acclaimed Plumbing, Inc. f/k/a Acclaimed Services) who used fraud and deception to rip us off - the company is corrupt top-down, do not go near! It was traumatizing and on top of it all, we still didn't have hot water. While still traumatized, i reached out to The Plumbing Doctors - they were very straightforward and professional (and sympathetic). They came in and immediately noticed that the "repair" the other company did left us with thermostats not even touching the tank and not getting any power at all - they had wired everything wrong and shorted the whole system! I honestly feel that was intentionally done by the other company so they'd have to come back and tell us to replace the whole thing - basically ripping us off again! The wiring diagram is on the thermostat packaging - there's no excuse!! The Plumbing Doctor replaced the thermostats, re-wired the system correctly and also fixed a shorted circuit breaker to get us up and running again quickly and easily - I can't thank them enough for their help and also for their general handling of us as sensitive customers after a recent traumatic experience. Thank you!

Terrible customer service. They were sent out by my home warranty company to fix/ replace a water heater. I took the whole morning off work so I could be here for their appointment. They came out and were very friendly. Then diagnosed the problem and told me I needed a new water heater. They said it would be 3-5 days. A week passed and I did not hear anything. So I called Empire Plumbing. I got a voicemail, so I left a message. No call back. I called again the following day and again voicemail - no call back. I waited a couple more days and called once again. This time I got hold of someone. I was told he would speak with his supervisor and call me right back. No call back!! I waited almost 2 weeks and called my home warranty people. They looked it up and told me that Empire Plumbing had not even sent in the report yet. I finally heard back from my home warranty company. They said that there would be an additional charge of $355 for modifying pipes and also a $75 fee to take away the old water heater. There was no modification listed or mentioned at my initial appointment and another person verified that this was not required. So they not only do not answer the phone or respond to voicemails, but now try to scam honest people. In addition I stressed my concerns of this company and their lack of communication skills. The home warranty people said they would instruct Empire Plumbing to contact me to discuss any concerns. Once again no call from them!!! On top of that Empire Plumbing was going to do the work with no mention of a permit. In the county of Henrico a permit is required for any gas water heater replacements. Due to their lack of courtesy of not calling people back, I would highly recommend you pass. There are so many other (better) plumbers out there (i.e. Advanced Plumbing). If you do a check online you will see that many people had the same experience as me.

In the end the following was decided by the technician: 1. A new vent was needed to be installed to meet code. 2. A vehicle barrier was needed to be installed for code. 3. The price could go up if additional personnel or equipment was needed. In the end I installed the heater and had it inspected by the county. The inspector's words, "You did a fine job". My costs including the permit and all material was approximately $600. Time for the installation about an hour. According to a retired plumber a professional should be able to install a heater in about a half an hour. In my research a quality heater runs $400 to $600. Even if the heater costs $1000 with parts - which I found is about $50 Stemmle was charging about $3000/hour for labor! The technician did say they weren't the cheapest but they would do it right and to code. Really? Read on. We did not have them replace the heater for the following reasons: 1. The price was ridiculously high for what amounts to 30 minutes of work. The heater being easily accessible. Their price was hundreds above the next closest. In their defense the other quotes were over the phone. 2. They charged $79 for the house call which was not mentioned when we made the appointment. My wife clearly stated that this was not an emergency. The receptionist - Vicky could be heard backpedaling when the technician called her about the confusion. In addition per the county inspector: 1. A vehicle barrier was not required. 2. The exhaust vent did not require replacement. I simply rotated the existing one about 45° So much for Stemmle doing things to code.
Probably the most disconcerting issue was the $79 charge for the quote. It raised a question of integrity within the company should we have had an issue down the road. Also there is no need to charge such an unreasonable amount for a quote. The companies that gave quotes for our roof job didn't charge neither did those for the siding. When I asked about the charge the technician stated it was due to the time to come by. Perhaps, however the above mentioned contractors gave their time without charging. Perhaps plumbers are special. Perhaps their time is so much more valuable. Or perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he drove up in a Mercedes-Benz.

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Bon Air, VA
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
