They were rude and the guy that came had no clue what he was talking about all he could do was talk about how this other plumbing company was in it for the money when in all that's what he was after the other company was pin point on and fixed the problem and even helped me get my money back read more

Canceled appointment 2 weeks in a row. I first called Plumbline July 18 and made appointment for July 22. I received a call at 7:30 am on July 22 canceling appointment for later that day, and on the incorrect assumption that they would not cancel 2 appointments on me, made another appointment for July 28. The morning of the 28 I got a call canceling service for that day, and was given the opportunity to make another appointment for August 9, 22 days after my initial call. Why would I make another appointment with a company that does not honor their appointments? So if you make an appointment with Plumbline don't assume that they will actually show up. read more

Beware. I had them out when my furnace wouldn't kick on. They scared me into getting a quote for a new furnace and told me that my 14 year old furnace would go out soon. I had another company out and of course they couldn't make any guarantees but he didn't see anything that indicated issues and expected my existing trane furnace would last at least 20 years. Shop around! read more

Bait and switch! My 4 year old water heater quit working on a Saturday morning. I called at about 8am and they said they can have someone at my house by noon with no trip charge. When the tech got to my house he said there was no trip charge but there was a $185 diagnostic fee. WHAT?! The the tech stood in my utility room without even looking at the water heater and said that he can't fix it until Monday because he can't get the part until then. How does he know what part I need? He hadn't even looked at the water heater yet!! I asked him what the diagnostic code blinking meant and he had no idea until I showed him the code label on the tank. He then unplugged my water heater and the gas control valve , plugged it back in and said it was fix. When I asked him what will be done to make sure this doesn't do this again he said that he can't guaranty his work and I would have the same $185 charge. The tech left and sure enough less than 2 house later the water heater quit working again. I called back to plumbline and after complaining excessively they agreed to send someone out to check again without a charge. This new tech came out at about 7pm and told me that a part that was under warranty would need to be replaced but labor is not covered. He estimated that labor would be around $900 but they could not get the part until Monday at the earliest. *(don't forget they would also charge the $185 diagnostic and the price for the part until they got reimbursed.) On Monday I called a local company and a master plumber came out. He said I did indeed need the part changed and it was under warranty. Tuesday the same local company came out and fixed my water heater for $200! Over a $1000 difference?!! Shame! read more

They quoted me over $1000.00 to replace a Circuit board for my furnace. The part was $100 retail price I ended up replacing it myself and saved myself $900.00. I'm sure they don't pay retail for the Circuit board, so they wanted over $900 in labor that took me less than 10 minutes to replace. This company is a complete rip off. Seriously, call anybody but this company. read more

Horrible experience!! First off, we were originally quoted $99 to have our lines roto-rooter'd. When the technician arrived, he wasn't able to get his machine into our basement and said he had to go get a smaller machine. Three hours later he came back with it but said it was actually going to cost $260. If we would've known that ahead of time we would have just called a different company. Unfortunately we got the bad news that we need our sewer line replaced. The technician said he'd get back to us with a quote and we set up an appointment to go over it and talk about the plan of action. He didn't show up for that appointment and several phone calls went un-returned. Our sewer started backing up again this weekend, so we called Plumbline to see if we could get it roto-rooter'd again to buy us some time. We explained the above mentioned situation to the receptionist, telling her about the price difference and that we have been trying to get a hold of our technician without luck. She said they could come out to roto-root our lines again and cover it under the warranty for all the trouble we've had with them. We set up an appointment window between 2-4. After re-arranging our work schedules to be home for the appointment window, 4pm rolls around and no technician. We called and they said that the appointment was put on hold because they left us a message saying they wouldn't cover it under the warranty. When we asked to talk to a manager they said there weren't any in the office and we would have to leave a message. Now it's 5pm on a Saturday and we don't have a sewer system. You can bet we wont be using these guys to replace our sewer lines (a $7-10k job!)". Don't use Plumbline, there are plenty of other companies who have a sense of customer service and stand by their word. read more

I had them come out estimate moving some plumbing, 2 lines, for an addition, and they quoted me $2300 for the work. I had another plumber come in and did the work for $250. read more

Ron was very prompt, explained all he was going to work on and how to take care of our hot water heater! Ask for him by mane!

PLUMBLINE BLOWS!!!! There Plumbers are all working on Commission!! and are way overpriced! for a 300 dollar job.. (YES expensive) was priced out to me at $1245 bucks by Plumbline!!!! I told the guy to walk after paying him 42 bucks for the visit. read more

False advertising was used to get me to call them. The did not fix my water heater and charged me for a part that did not fix the heater. I did have to call another company to come out and fix the heater. Wrote a letter to the owner but did not receive a call back or even a letter. I would not recommend them for anything... read more

I would recommend to anyone that is considering using Plumbline services to get at least three quotes. We had them come out to a home and give us an estimate for a tank less water heater. Their quote was double the price of two other companies for the exact same manufacturer and the scope of work was very similar. I also was told that they would come out between 2:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon and didn't actually get there till 7:30 that evening. So potential buyers beware their pricing and the information they give you over the phone before they come out can be drastic in comparison and all the while you have to put up with used car salesmanship. read more

Not impressed. I had Plumbline out for a simple question and finally agreed to a $189 service check on my furnace. During the process, the technician pointed out my ignitor was going bad and it would be $303 to replace it. I asked why so expensive and we discussed it must be the fact it's an important part - only took him 5 seconds to put the new one in since he already pulled mine out. NOoooo. I later looked them up on the internet and mine cost $28, so I was charged $275 for a 5 second job since he was already there anyway.. I find this to be rape. Any website will tell you these are cheap and to keep on on hand in case you need it on that Sunday 4 below morning. Two simple screws held mine in. Otherwise thought they were good, but how can you trust a company like that? read more

The service I got from Plumbline was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. All they had to do was clear a main line. It took Jason Jordan 4hrs. Two hours to do the work, and two hours to, *attempt* to clean up the mess. I hired a cleaner to come in. Sure, I signed the paperwork which said I was happy - it was just to get the very unqualified technician out of my house!! In Jason Jordans bio on the plumline website... http://www.plumblineservices.com/get-to-know/meet-employees/jason-jordan.html It states this: "Jason Jordan has been with Plumbline Services since 2010 and is an expert in plumbing." Jason Jordan is not a Plumber!! Jason Jordan is a, "Drain Tech".. Jason Jordan explained that to me when he was asked to replace a toilet flange on my basement toilet. Plumbline tried to grease me. They wanted to call a "plumber" to install a toilet flange!! That is beyond, EASY, so I guess Jason Jordan is not, "an expert in plumbing".. Also, Jason Jordan is a liar. He said to me that he would have his "boss" call, and they would discount the shody service. I have the paperwork that states this!! It never hapened!! Plumbline is 100% garbage, and the good reviews must be from a long time ago. I am actually thinking about calling a lawyer.. However in Jason Jordans defense - He may have told this,"boss" character. It seems that his boss may also be a bum? It's hard to say.. Bums usually hire bums!!! It's disgusting to me that plumbline still has people fooled. Rod M. read more

Friendly, on time, professional. However $102 later (47 trip charge 55.35 diagnostic charge), it's a mixed bag because the $47 trip charge was the only charge I thought I'd be paying to see if something was wrong, even after I asked the screener what it would typically cost. I would not feel completely over charged if she had just been up front with those costs in the first place. This appointment/diagnosis took all of 15 minutes. The review is low due to the cost. I will be looking for a new plumber to use in the future. read more

I scheduled an appointment for a Furnace Tune Up with Plumbline on a Monday afternoon two weeks ago. My boyfriend waited at home during the scheduled time frame and no one showed. Neither of us received a phone call so I gave them a call. I called a total of 5 times with no answer. I went to their website and sent them a message there and received an immediate call back. The woman on the phone claimed that they had called saying they would not make it, but neither of us received the call or message. We checked our numbers which were correct and without apologies she insisted we received a phone call. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt so I rescheduled for the following week. Again, no show, no call. This time, when I called, I got through right away and the woman was very apologetic and unsure of what happened. She took my information and promised a manager would get in touch within the next 24 hours. I never heard from them. I am bummed because other Yelpers had good experiences so I am not sure what is going on with Plumbline. But if sitting at home waiting for a no show technician TWICE is not your cup of tea, I'd pass. read more

while bidding out a new furnace and central a/c system- i got a recommendation from homeadvisor for Plumbline. Rep spent approx 2 hrs at home and very knowledgeable about systems, etc. Received bids ranging from $13.3 k to $14.6 k depending on models and efficiency etc. Asked him to break down bid for equip vs labor; rep was hesitant to do but finally agreed. For the 13.3 k bid it was approx $4900 for the equipment and over $8300 for labor and overhead- 2 men @ 8-10 hrs for install. This was so outrageous i didnt even respond. Got another bid from an Angie's list recommended contractor (A+ BBB) and total including labor for same system was $6600. Wow could not believe difference. I believe every company needs to make a decent profit but here Plumbline was way out of line. so beware and get multiple bids. \ read more

The good: 1) When we had a water line freeze on New Years Eve, they came out the next day to fix it. They were one of the few companies that I called that were able to come out on short notice, and I appreciate that they were able to get our water up and running within a few hours. So they saved us when we were in a pinch. 2) The plumber was polite and professional. The not-so-good: 1) They are a bit pricey. It was over $1,000 for 3.5 hours worth of work, even though it was about 75 dollars worth of parts. So basically $280 per hour. It was New Years Day and an emergency repair, so I understand that it was not going to be cheap. But still, some might consider that gouging. 2) They apparently do not stand behind their work. They installed a new pipe in the finished ceiling, but did it in such a way that it is hanging about an inch too low. So now we cannot install new drywall, because the pipe would be entirely within the new drywall. I did not discover this error until the next day. I called, left a message asking them if they would be willing to come back and fix it for no additional charge (it would take about an hour for them with their equipment). They have chosen to completely ignore my request. I have not gotten a callback, despite leaving them all of my information. So I will now have to hire someone else to finish the shoddy work that they refuse to fix. Bottom line, I will never use them again due to their atrocious customer service and high prices. There are other options. read more

I had used them before for a new furnace and air conditioning and was very happy with the service and the unit they put in. When my old hot water heater failed in 2011, I called them again. They are very expensive, and they aren't shy telling you why, but I expected a quality hot water heater to be put in. Not the case. I've had to relight the pilot light on it at least every 6 months since it was put in. I called the manufacturer numerous times and now 4 years later, I can't light it any more as it has completely failed. After doing some research, I find out that American Hot Water Company was sued in a class action suit in 2008, and there's more than 227 complaints on the consumer affairs website. The hot water heater is under warranty but Plumbline wants almost the same amount I spent 4 years ago to put it in. My conversation with the manager wasn't comforting, it was a joke. It was like listening to some one reading you a bad bedtime story over and over again with the only good ending to the story being when I hung up. Do yourself a favor, go with a plumbing company that only sells quality products. This company sells you below par products knowing that you can't afford the average to premium products and then when they fail they can get you again. read more

Had an appointment made over a week ago to get AC unit looked at and they just called to cancel saying I wasnt a priority as they over booked! Wont use them or refer them and I have a big mouth and know a lot of people! read more

Excellent customer service!! They went above and beyond the call of duty. This company will be the first I call for future services.

I have been a customer with them for about 2 years. I even paid for their 5-year membership for two other properties and I REGRET PAYING for the membership. Their services were good to start with but they do not value their customers. They will not keep a scheduled appointments, this happened on multiple occasions. Their customer service agents are rude with the exception of Deena who is remarkably nice. The show no respect for your time and schedule. Overall I have been extremely disappointed with them! read more

When I scheduled appt was told it would be $95.00 special that's advertised on tv and online to do drain cleaning. Well, $195.00 was final cost because line was run through toilet. All other companies are cheaper. Originally wanted to charge $245.00. Seniors especially if on a budget,BEWARE. read more

This company is a total ripoff! We are having our kitchen renovated and we need a second gas line run from our furnace, in our easily-accessible crawl space, about 10-15 feet to where the new gas stove will sit. Scott, the technician, kept telling me what a simple job this would be and gave me a whole spiel about how great their company is and how they are "not the most expensive plumbers out there, but also not the cheapest." Damn right they're not the cheapest! His quote came back at $2,000 and when my husband called him to ask for a break down on the estimate, he couldn't give us one, stating that "that is not how their company does things." On top of all that, I had to pay him $50 to look at the job, which took all of 20 minutes. Then when I asked if that $50 would be factored into the final total if we went with them, Scott said yes, but acted as though he was doing me a huge favor. My kitchen contractor was here at the time and witnessed the entire encounter and after Scott left he told me what a scam this company is and confirmed that they were charging us triple what the work is actually worth. The job we need done should cost about $500 max. Stay away from these clowns, unless you'd like to remortgage your home in order to have simple repairs done! read more

Too bad they can't keep appointments. I set an appointment a month ago to have them come at this day and time. It's an absolutely gorgeous Saturday and I spent half my day waiting for between 1 and 3pm for them to show up, (plus the time it would take for them to do their service visit). I've been home all day, specifically waiting for them. Yes they called to "voice confirm" but I'm busy working around the house, I didn't hear their calls. They said they're required to "voice confirm" before they actually show up for a previously schedule appointment. I'm sorry I have stuff to do around the house. What, do you only do business with people who have a cell phone in their pocket at all times? Do you only show up at a dentist or doctor's appointment, or for a dinner reservation after you voice confirm? No, of course you don't, you show up to the appointment ON TIME AS SCHEDULED (between 1 and 3pm in their case) what a concept, you show up on time and knock on the door, ring the bell, whatever. The last thing you do is to decide not to show up. That's crap. That forces me to have wasted half of this day PLUS the next day they decide they can show up on time So I call them, and their next appointment is Tuesday between 1 and 3pm. Oh, great, lucky me, now I have to take off work to meet these people. No? How about two Saturdays from now? Oh even better, now I have to waste another half of another (probably) gorgeous Saturday to wait around for a company that may not show up. This was my first time ever scheduling to do work with this company. Now, not only will I never engage them in another business transaction, but I'll make sure everyone I know avoids them as well. I advise you do the same. -Chris read more

Five years ago we hired Plumbline to install a brand new AC unit and they "threw in " a brand new furnace with it for free...$13,000 total!!! We realized after the fact that we were taken advantage of. 5 years later our AC stopped working. I took the day off from work and was given a window of when they would show. Just before our window they called and said they couldn't make it and would need to come out the next day. Two days of PTO from work! When the tech arrived he told us that because we didn't have them service our AC for a year that we broke our warranty, BUT if they did $1500-$2000 worth of service that day they could possibly activate the warranty again. Had another company come out to look and they replaced the motor for free!!! The motor had a 10 year warranty on it. The warranty is on the part, not the company! Lesson learned! Spreading the word to all of our friends and large CO native family! read more

Tony J. and David W. came out and did a great job. They worked hard. Were very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly. They came out on a cold, wintry day to replace our riser pump and a section of pipe. I really appreciated their up beat attitudes and friendly demeanor. I would definitely use Plumbline again. read more

We have used Plumbline a couple of times now. First time was for a sink backup. Second time we had a water line hooked up to our fridge. Both times I was very impressed. So we decided to use them again. We are at the very end of a complete kitchen remodel. I have been without a sink or dishwasher for 2 months now. Not easy when you have children! We had an appointment scheduled for today between 3-5 to hook up the plumbing. I was so excited to finally have my kitchen completely done! They called after our appointment time and canceled on us. Not impressed at all. Judging from other reviews this seems to be a common occurrence with them. Wish We would have read here first before hiring them. read more

I had to have my furnace cleaned and thought it was a great deal until they tried to tell me my furnace is getting old and needed to be replaced. The air conditioning also need a small part replace which costs $25 and they wanted to charge me over $500. Then I discovered that the air conditioning unit was not completely cleaned. I would NOT recommend them. read more

Rep. came to my house and I explained what I needed and he stated he could not do anything. He told me they could not replace the flue on the roof because that needed to be done by a roofer! Roofers put shingles on roofs, not flues! Then I needed some heat tape on a water line and he did not even look at it just said "per code" we can't do that, YET I had a licensed inspector say it can be done and that would be to code. Rep. was excessively lazy and clearly did not want to take the job. SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH ANOTHER COMPANY THAT CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

If I could of gave a big fat zero, I would have. Called plumbline to get an estimate on a new furnace install. Phone rang and rang. Hung up the first time, figuring they were busy. Tried again an hour later. Let it ring and ring until I got an answer, it was a voicemail. Left a message stating I was in the market for a new furnace install. Left my info and waited for a call back. 24 hrs later nothing. Called another company and they sent someone right out. I will have a new furnace in three days. Sooner if my schedule worked. Just heard a plumbline commercial on the radio and that's what prompted me to write this review. Practice what you preach people because as far as I am concerned your service is bottom line. Wait I got no service. No recommendations from me. read more

Don't bother - they won't show up at the time they tell you, and you'll have taken off work or cancelled other activities in order to meet them. Apparently, their time is more valuable than yours (though you're the one with the money). Save yourself the aggravation and call another service. There are plenty of them to choose from, and it boggles the mind that outfits like this that treat their customers like crap manage to stay open. read more

UPDATE to 6/19 review: The City of Arvada's inspectors just left my home and Plumbline Services failed inspection for the HVAC as well as the tankless units. The Electrical inspector was so dissatisified with the results of what he saw that he stopped the inspection before he finished and demanded that Plumbline send the electrician who did the work out along with his license information. They failed what the inspector called a "very big deal" issue with plumbing - the gas line going to provide 390,000BTUs to the Eternal units is far too small and must be replaced for them to be installed to code. UPDATE to 6/10 review. Plumbline has proven to be very "crafty" in how they conduct business when things go terribly wrong. See my previous review on 6/10 to learn the back-story. This follow-up is after interacting with Bob Logan (service manager) and Plubline's Controller (I still am unsure of his name because he didn't have the consideration to not use speakerphone both during his two minute rambling of a voice mail as well as when I called him back). After the incident that left my home with nearly $20,000 in damage due to flooding, damaged stucco, etc.. Plumbline immediately "sprang to action" on my behalf - or so I thought. Bob Logan expressed his deepest symphathies with what had transpired, assured me that Plumbline takes their reputation extraordinarily seriously, and would do anything to make the situation right. At one point during my first couple of phone calls with him he said "I'd just cut you a check right now for the damages if I could but it sounds like we've got more than just a few thousand in damages going on there." Last week I was informed that Plumbline would be involving their insurance company - entirely understandable. I was asked to provide photos that I had taken of the damage for their company to take a look at. I was also told to get whoever I needed out to get estimates and the repair work process started to make my home whole again. I was told I'd hear back from someone as soon as they had talked with the insurance company and knew what would happen next. In the meantime, Plumbline replaced the motherboard on my Eternal tankless unit (the one they weren't authorized to install in the first place), and then they went silent. Fast-forward to today - 6/18 - I emailed Bob Logan with some questions surrouding getting damages repaired and the Xcel Energy rebates I should be getting but nobody ever assisted me with. I specifically asked Bob to call me back on one of two phone numbers. What happened next was interesting - I received a voicemail on my work telephone number, one that was gleened from my email signature - not the numbers provided for callback - and a two minute voicemail was left with fun words such as "we're not admitting fault" and then the tables were turned back on me and I was told to go file a claim if I wanted the damages fixed. I'm now out about $7,000 in up-front cash between deductibles, new plumbers to fix the problems with the tankless units, and a deductible on my homeowner's policy. We all know what happens next - months and months of back and forth to determine fault. I spent $22,175 with Plumbline for two Eternal tankless units and a furnace. I will get to spend an addiitonal $20-30k repairing the damage done to my home. I welcome anyone with questions regarding my experience to contact me for the full story. This is obviously one super long and wordy review - for a reason - I don't want to see ANYONE get taken advantage of by this group again. The interesting part - I was actually going to go online and write a glowing review of how they handled the problem last week when they told me everything would be ok. Little did I know they were just buying time for their lawyers and insurance company to come up with a great defense strategy. read more

During this incredibly hot summer, our A/C has not been working. We called Plumbline and had to wait 12 days before someone could come out. When he did, he said the compressor was bad, the situation was dangerous, we needed coolant and that we needed an entirely new unit for $2000. Before agreeing to the work, we had another contractor come in. After reviewing the Plumbline report, he went to the unit, flipped a few switches and it started working. He said any expert should know that it takes a unit some time to kick on. All we needed was to clean the exterior of the unit off, reset it and to install a new filter in the attic. So after a combined three weeks of no A/C, we simply needed a hose and a new filter for $5 and have been happily cool ever since. I strongly feel that Plumbline was either incompetent or trying to rip us off. Either way, we won't be calling again. read more

Horrible company, please don't use them! They advertise a lot on the radio and their website seemed pretty comprehensive, so we figured they should be a decent company, but we were wrong. Both times we called them out, they tried to overcharge us. The first time, I called Plumbline to perform routine maintenance on our furnace and the guy that came out seemed really nice. He spent about an hour checking the furnace and supposedly blowing out dust. However, all he really did was change a furnace filter (wow, like I couldn't do that myself) and told us that the heating element was going bad and needed to be replaced. He kept on saying the furnace is an older model and probably needs to be replaced soon. Keep in mind that our furnace was less than 15 years old (most furnaces/AC need replacing only after they are 25 years old) and when I called another qualified technician from another company they found nothing wrong. The total was $185 for the maintenance (all he did was put in a cheap air filter and use a compressed air can) and they wanted $550 for a new heating element. The second time we called it was for a simple cleaning of our mainline. They advertise that they will clean "any drain, including the mainline, for $99," well the guy wanted $150 because in his mind it was very dirty. Thankfully, I didn't use their service and called a few other companies and got our mainline cleaned for $75. Most of the estimates from other companies were around $80-90, so why is Plumbline trying to charge $150! PS: Their radio ads are a little stupid IMHO, there's really no reason to make the guy in all of their commercials sound like the "dumbest person alive," while their smart wife saves the day. Men and women can be equally smart or equally stupid. When people get so angry about the Dr. Pepper 10 comercials, I don't understand why Plumbline continues to use such silly ads. read more

Needed a new furnace and called Plumbline. Their quote seemed very high so I told them I wanted to do some research. 24 hours later I had a quote for the exact same furnace and a humidifier, total cost $1000.00 less than Plumbline. The sales experience with these guys is like buying a car. If you are thinking about doing business with them do yourself a favor and get another quote or two. read more

A friend of mine called Plumbline to fix his hot water heater and had a terrible experience this past weekend. The technician was two hours late and once he arrived and looked at the water heater had to call the "help line" for the water heater company for help in fixing the problem. He then realized that he didn't have a voltage meter with him, so he left for 45 minutes to "run to the store" to buy a new one. Once he returned he quoted my friend over $400.00 for a new part needed to fix the problem. My friend, being pretty unhappy with the poor service, paid the exorbitant $165.00 service fee and sent the technician on his way. He then talked with a neighbor who recommended he call the company who had originally installed the water heater. That company diagnosed the problem over the phone, charged my friend $25.00 for the needed part, shipped it to his house for my friend to install himself, and now the water heater is fixed. I don't want to write the name of the technician, but in my opinion this is terrible service. The technician obviously had no idea what he was doing, showed up late, didn't have the needed equipment and WAY overcharged my friend for the necessary part. I would not use this company, my friend will not use it again, and we wouldn't recommend them to anyone. read more

Very bad experience with this company today. The tech was not very knowledgable and quite rude. After 60 minutes of looking at costs and options of which were really recommended by us we decided to go with another company as the proposal was much more than the 99 quoted. Not confident this technician could have handled the job properly so we decided for an alternate plan B which was very successful. read more

I called Plumbline based on a recommendation from my brother. When I scheduled my appointment, the representative was courteous and thorough. My appointment was scheduled for 2-4 but they called me when they could come early. Amone A. was AWESOME. I had water flowing to my basement floor when my washing machine drained. I thought it was a clog, and Plumbline had a $99 snake special. It ended up being a crack in the trap of a utility tub which he told me would cost $12 from Home Depot. He was at my house an hour and it only cost me the $99. Amone A. was very courteous and I was extremely pleased with his promptness and honesty. An A+++++ read more

Pricing is not competitive and their sales tactics are geared toward selling a new furnace...no matter what the problem is. While the customer service of this company is certainly intact, we found the pricing, overhead and sales tactics to be outrageous. When the technician arrived, before even looking at my furnace he told me that my heating element was probably cracked and that I was definitely going to need a new furnace. Well, he took the whole furnace apart and found not only was the heating element not cracked but it was in perfect condition - as was the rest of my furnace save the draft inducer motor. I was relieved until I asked him what the cost of the part was...he took out his catalog (Plumbline generated) of prices and pointed to the part for $800! I immediately looked up the exact same part on amazon and found it for $70. When I asked him about the price difference he said, "we're a big company so we have to have some overhead on our pricing." Then he proceeded to tell me I should just get a new furnace because mine is almost 20 years old. Another representative from Plumbline called a "comfort counselor" came to my house to measure my furnace and decide what kind of furnace I needed. Turns out the cheapest option was $4000. He went on to tell me about all the warranties and that they'd put in a new thermostat for free! I said I didn't want a new thermostat because mine works fine and it felt wasteful to me to put in a new one...he just stared at me. I told him I'd like to think about it. My fiance ordered the part on Amazon, we looked up a you tube video and 30 minutes later, my furnace was humming and warming my house like it never has before! read more

Did you know . . .? Neurosurgeons are the highest paid of all medical professionals with a median annual income of around $704,170.This is largely due to the fact that they have to be flippin smart to become a Neurosurgeon, AND it takes extensive educational and residency requirements to become one. Neurosurgeons operate on people's brain. Pretty darn impressive, right? Every time they operate, they literally have their patient's life in their hands. Calculated as an hourly wage, that equates to about $339 per hour. Less if you count the hours Neurosurgeons are on-call. On the other hand, you have HVAC "professionals" who didn't go to college but learned their profession through a 6-month technical school coursework and recieved a certificate. HVAC professionals work on machines, replacing parts, and cleaning out the dust mites from heaters. Every time they come to your house to fix a broken piece of equipment, they literally have your balls in their hands. According to Plumbline Services at https://www.facebook.com/#!/PlumblineServices, and the bill I received for a 2-hour service call, they charge $50 MORE than a Neurosurgeon at a whopping $389 per hour! Just wanted to be clear and put everything into perspective. http://www.healthcaresalaryonline.com/neurosurgeon-salary.html read more
