I immediately went to Yelp and saw Outer Banks Plumbing had a five star rating. I called and left a message. By the time I went into the other room to let my husband know what was going on Shawn was calling me back. By 11:30 I had a new hot water heater to replace my 20 year old hot water heater. He even looked at a couple of toilets we were having trouble with. The price was very reasonable. My guests were happy! I was happy! And I found a new go to plumber. Communication was great!

I needed a gas line extension and a…read morehose bib replacement, and after dealing with a few other local plumbers, I was feeling pretty frustrated. The other companies gave me patronizing vibes and quotes that felt like total scams. Everything changed when I called Baybreeze. Robin, the owner, is incredibly down-to-earth. He gave me a very reasonable quote right over the phone and--strangely enough in this day and age--didn't ask for a single cent until the entire job was finished. I was honestly stunned by that level of trust and integrity. Monty and Mike handled the actual work, and they were fantastic. They were polite, courteous, and the quality of their work was exceptional--all at a fraction of the cost of the other guys. It's rare to find a team that combines great craftsmanship with honest pricing. Baybreeze is officially on my speed dial for any future plumbing or gas needs. If you want a fair price and professional service without the runaround, call these guys!"

They showed me the faulty areas on the wax ring that was causing the leak and explained every step in the process for replacing it as they were performing the work. As someone with no experience in this type of work I mostly enjoyed their professional attitude, quality of work and clean up afterward, as well as their simple explanation for the problem and solution. I was glad to see the previous positive reviews of Baybreeze held up through my first hand experience.

Heat Pump Service Issue and Billing Concern…read more Background In September 2024, I purchased two new heat pumps from R.A. Hoy. Since I am retired and spend most of my time at home, I do not need to adjust the temperature frequently. Specifically, the unit in question serves the upstairs area, which I rarely visit during the day. Discovery of the Issue In February 2026, I received a service message on my thermostat for the upstairs unit. Upon checking the unit through my app, I discovered that it had been running continuously, 24 hours a day, since mid-November 2025 up until the present date in February 2026. Service Call and Diagnosis I contacted R.A. Hoy for service. The technician identified that the unit was only producing 70-degree air and was one pound low on refrigerant. I also have 2 inspections each year that were reported as good. Electric Bill Concerns Because my electric bill is automatically paid from my bank account and has remained consistent for over 10 years, I had not been monitoring it closely. However, after realizing the heat pump had been running non-stop, I reviewed my bills and noticed an increase of over $100 per month starting from when the unit failed in November 2025. My electric bill is normally lower in the winter as my gas furnace heat my home when temperature is 40 degrees or lower. Concerns Regarding the Repair and Warranty I received a bill from R.A. Hoy for the refrigerant. I believe that, since the leak appears to be a result of the initial installation, I should not be responsible for this charge. Additionally, if this leak is not properly addressed, it is likely to recur annually. However, I was informed that because the issue arose more than a year after installation, it is not covered under the warranty.
