Hire this company if you want your house to go on fire.
We hired this company to come out and perform routine maintenance on our steam boiler. This boiler is less than 10 years old and was in perfect working condition as well as our thermostat.
The first minor issue we encountered is that Chris Stamp and his assistant arrived to our home 3 hours after they were supposed to arrive. I assumed they were busy so I decided to give them some slack.
After an hour or so of the two men banging things in the basement, they came upstairs to ensure the heat would turn on. As they turned up our thermostat, a red glow and smoke fumes soon emitted from the thermostat. Chris Stamp's assistant began immediately yelling to turn off the power since the thermostat wires appeared to be on fire. Chris however, did not seem enthused and simply stated "its ok its low voltage." As I write this review I will admit I am not a licensed electrician but it does not seem normal nor safe to have a fire in the wall since it is only "low voltage."
After a while of fussing with the thermostat and ripping it off our wall in the process, Chris decided he would just change the thermostat. Chris did not know how to install a simple thermostat and had to phone a friend for this simple endeavor. This seemed strange for a plumber who does HVAC...But okay the saga continues... Of course, this did not solve the problem as our boiler still was not turning on at this point.
At this point, Chris and his assistant began yelling at each other and could not figure out what to do. As the mystery fire and electrical issue ensue, Chris decided this is no longer his problem to solve and we need to just contact an electrician for the problem he created. Chris then happily demanded $340 dollars for boiler maintenance. I asked Chris how are you going to charge me for "cleaning a boiler" when all you did was break the boiler and start a fire in the wall? Chris then told me he did me a favor by "installing a thermostat" which he did not know how to install lol.
Chris and his assistant then happily departed with their check in hand as we are left with a recent fire in the wall and no heat.
We then hired a competent plumber who diagnosed this issue immediately. The wires in our pressure valve box shorted due to moisture which shorted the rest of the unit, likely due to incorrect servicing of the boiler by the previous plumber. At this point, the LWCOV, pressure valve, and other wires needed to be replaced entirely. This resulted in an unfortunate bill of $1000 to fix the previous inept "plumbers."
All in all, I seriously doubt Stamp Plumbing and Heating are even a real company, let alone licensed professionals. The reviews on here have to be largely fake. I urge you to steer clear of these scam artists as the only heat you'll have is from the fire they started in your home instead of a functioning boiler. read more
