I understand that the company and its employees must be compensated for diagnostic time. But $150 for a 30 minute visit for time and labor only is outrageous. I left a message with customer service to discuss the charges. My call was returned by an associate. Despite the fact that I described my issues to him in a calm and polite manner, the associate responded to me confrontationally and aggressively. Their business model is predatory and I will not do business with My Plumber again nor would I recommend their services to anyone I know.

I was surprised that most plumbers would only replace a hot water heater if one was purchased from them. The reason given was that they could not guarantee the hot water heater unless it was purchased through them. When I asked what was the brand name they sold, several of them replied with the exact same brand/model number that I bought through my connections - but they still would not install that same heater. (And surprise surprise, their prices ranged from $230 to $415 more than I paid for the same heater. After talking to four A-rated plumbers in the area, I found F J Hooks who had no problem installing my heater, at a price that was $50 less than their nearest competitor, even those offering an Angie's List discount. They even offered to go to my supplier and pick up the heater for me, but I had already arranged delivery. An appointment was made for two days later. Unfortunately I was unable to keep the appointment and they graciously rescheduled for a few days later - to show up between 10 and 12. At 9:20 on the morning of my appointment, I received a call saying they were on the way. Jesus and his assistant arrived, removed the old heater, installed the new one, and were finished around 11:00. I was told I would receive the bill in the mail. I left on a business trip and returned 17 days later. The bill I received was for $525 - $75 more than I was quoted. And it was due on the day I opened the mail after returning home. I called the office, left a voice mail - and within 10 minutes I received a call back. I was actually in their driveway to drop the check off when the call came in. I went into the office, showed the invoice - and without any dickering, the invoice was reduced to $450 paid in full. Apparently the additional charge came from upgrading from a 42 gallon to a 50 gallon heater. Would I use them again? I'm already looking at projects for them to complete - converting a wood burning fireplace to gas, rerouting a water line for a refrigerator ice maker, installing a new dishwasher and gas stove, etc ?. as $$ become available. They've become my go-to plumbers. Friendly and professional all-the-way.

There was no one answering the phone in the office until more than 15 minutes after they opened (it was still forwarding to the answering service) so that's the reason for the B rating I gave in Responsiveness. They charged me $1944.00 for a new 50 gallon propane water heater (includes all charges and installation). Today, my mom checked prices out of curiosity, and found a similar one at Sears - she priced it with installation and old water heater haul-away (to make sure it was an even comparison) to see how much they charge. The online estimate was $1075.00. I can understand there being a price difference for using a private company rather than going through something large like Sears, but almost double the price??? When I called the office to ask about the charges they told me that propane water heaters cost more (the estimate from Sears was for a similar propane water heater). I asked how much they charge an hour for labor. The woman on the phone said that they don't itemize - the charge included everything and isn't broken down. I am so disappointed because I really thought the company would do right by me because this is still a small (but growing) town, and I trusted that they were at least competitive in price. I wish I'd checked Sears and Home Depot before I bought the water heater from Rapidan Plumbing. I am willing to pay a hundred dollars or even two hundred dollars more to use a private company for such a large purchse, but almost double the price is really disappointing. I feel very cheated and feel like I was taken advantage of, and wish that I'd checked around instead of trusting them. The serviceman was great, which makes it even more sad that I plan to never call them again because of how much they took advantage of my trust and my pocketbook. Note: I listed N/A for quality because it was only installed a few days ago. I have had no issues yet, but 2 days isn't a very long time to know the 'quality' of the water heater and service yet.
4/13/2013: Even after bringing the significant price difference to their attention no price adjustment was offered (we found many other prices that were significantly less expensive)... I did not want them to come down to the less expensive prices we found, but thought they might at least come down a few hundred dollars. They did not. I hope that they reconsider their prices at least for the benefit of future customers, and offer them a more 'fair' price considering the local price for the work done."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/fredericksburg/rapidan-plumbing-inc-reviews-2001751.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Farrell Plumbing and Heating Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"VA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lauren H."},"reviewBody":"Replaced our water heater.

Tech inspected and tested water heater. After the inspection I was told that the cause of the issue was electrical and because of this they would not to pursue a repair. That is understandable and I have no issue with that. Visit took 30 minutes. I was charged $150 for a 30 minute visit. ...

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Claremont, 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.
