This was the MOST outrageous plumbing contractor I have EVER used. (The water heater was covered under a home warranty. Choice Home Warranty pays for the water heater and installation labor.)
The old water heater was 6 1/2 yrs old and started leaking through the tank. When it was replaced it was through a home warranty ( different warranty co.) and all the lines and shut off had to be replaced as per the home warranty company.
Now, 6 yrs later, 2 of the 3 lines have to be replaced as per THIS company for liability reasons.
I retired from the construction business of 30 + yrs and have never in that time seen 2 lines cost $700. There was $430 labor plus the cost of the 2 lines.
The total started at $800 and the only variable was I was going to take care of disposal, $100.
This was totally outrageous. I know they had a way to go to get here but, THEY contracted out to Choice Home Warranty and I guess according to "Chris" they have to do that per the company. It seems amazing how they have to undo those lines to install the water heater ,BUT, changing those lines cost $400+ In labor.
Be careful using this company, they will rob you blind to make up for what the warranty company doesn't want to do.
IF YOU AGREE TO CONTRACT OUT TO A COMPANY, YOU NEED TO GO BY THEIR PAYMENT SCHEDULE OR FIND ANOTHER JOB.
I will never use Around The Clock Plumbers or Choice Home Warranty again. Its all a SCAM!!! read more
