On November 17, 2023, I contacted *** Plumbing about flickering lights in my bathroom and kitchen. ***************************, a technician, was sent to my house. ****** performed a diagnostic and presented me with four different service options (attached) more than what I had initially requested: (1) $9756, (2) $3263, (3) $1789, and (4) $918. I felt pressure to approve work beyond what I asked for.I chose option four, which cost $918 because ****** said it would fix the flickering lights. He said the problem was a light bulb in the bathroom that needed replacement, and he had to rewire the kitchen fixture and dining room lights for a separate switch, which required 20 feet of rewiring. However, I saw no rewiring, and the existing wire was still there.****** asked if I wanted to change the kitchen fixture for aesthetics. After leaving to get supplies, he returned 45 minutes later with a new fixture and took down the old one. ****** took my fixture off the premises. When I asked about it, he told ****** it was no good and threw it away elsewhere.After he finished the job, ****** asked me to sign off that the work was done, I later discovered the bathroom light was still flickering but had already signed the approval. When I received an email the same day from *** Plumbing asking if I was satisfied with ******'s work, I responded that I was unhappy. I called the company to complain and spoke to ******, who promised to follow up.After several attempts to ask for a resolution of ******'s unsatisfactory work, ****** scheduled ********************** to come to my house on November 29, 2023. I understood that ********************** would resolve the problem. ********* visually inspected the bathroom fixture and offered to change the lightbulbs on the vanity after speaking with ******. ********* also mentioned that he could perform another diagnostic, which would be a cost. I declined another diagnostic. ********************** confirmed that the flickering of the lights in the bathroom persisted.Business Response

Complaint: 20952405
I am rejecting this response because I have been trying to contact ******* continuously for a resolution, but I have failed to do so. While attempting to reach her, I discovered that the lights in my dining room, which were supposed to have been rewired, are flickering again. Consequently, the service I paid for has not been entirely resolved. My original complaint was about the bathroom, which still needs to be resolved, and now, the dining room also remains unresolved. It seems that getting to a resolution is not a priority for ***.Furthermore, I would like the fixture taken from my home to be returned. **************** stated to *** he threw it away, but if he felt it was broken, why did he not inform me or leave the fixture on my premises? He did not have to take it, and this has caused a trust issue with the company's contractor. This matter is starting to cause undue anxiety because I feel like I have been taken advantage as a consumer who once trusted the brand of *** but now skeptical.Sincerely,

When our water heater went out suddenly,my husband and I called *** plumbing sewer, etc.company because they had installed new furnace and air conditioning units for us,and we had confidence in them.After all, theyre advertising says that they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee! When *****, the salesman, told us that a tankless water heater, which we asked about, would cost upwards of $10,000, my husband and I thought that prices sure had gone up since we had last replaced our water heater.We decided to go with the less expensive option,a regular 40-gallon skinny water heater. It cost over $4000 with some gas piping that needed to be done and the Village permit included.***** immediately arranged for installation that afternoon. He left without leaving any type of itemized bill; all we have is very faint writing on an *** pink parts department sheet. Later, after talking to our son, my husband and I realized we had been overcharged.My husband found the exact water heater by going to the website of the manufacturer, State Water Heaters; he called them asking how much they charged for it and they told him $863.00. I called *** several times, asking for a refund of $3500,and talked to various people: The first time I called, on 8/2/23, I was told that the customer experience team would be notified and that I would be called back. When I wasnt contacted and called again on 8/7/23, I was given the same runaround. When my husband called, they said they would give us $200 back, a standard discount we hadnt received. My husband was also told that if he could get an estimate from another company for the same amount of work and send it in to ***, they would pass it along to the higher *** to see if anything could be done-another runaround.Since this all happened,I have been recovering from surgery,which is why this complaint was not filed sooner.What I wonder is if our age(were both over 65)and my disability, (Im on oxygen) were factors in how this all played outBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: I called and left a message asking the customer experience team to call me back. I was told they would call back that day. They did not. I called back a few days later and asked for ******** because I was told she was one of a couple of people on the customer experience team. She was not aware of the BBB complaint even though the reply from *** said it was from the customer experience team. She told me that she would look at it and get back to me. She didnt so I called again. When she finally called back, she said that her company *** was constantly in contact with the BBB and that the BBB didnt like *** because they had a BOGO(Buy one, get one) offer. She basically talked over me and said that since it was a service issue and not an equipment issue, they would not satisfy my request for a refund of the overcharge. I said that the company might have been legally correct but was morally and ethically corrupt.

I had *** come out to fix a drain back up on 10_21/23. They cleared the drain but told me there was a more serious problem that has to be diagnosed with a camera. That was set for Monday 23.They never came even after I had prepaid. I called several times and they said they were busy. Finally on Friday the 27th the camera operator arrived and determined that there was a break in my pipe. He suggested a complete overall of the drain system at a cost of $16,112. I was told it would take 10 days for permits. I tried calling on the 28th and On October 29th i told them i wanted to halt the work order and I also told them I wanted to contact my home owners insurance. After we agreed to this I found out that the work they wanted to do was not really necessary to the drain issue and was actual an over selling and up charge. Today on October 30 they told me they did not care and I owed them the money. They have a hold on my credit card of $4028. I want the money released and the contract canceled.Business Response

I contacted *** sewer , heating and cooling company about their online advertising offer for a main sewer line cleaning just as preventative maintenance. One appointment was scheduled last Thursday and one of the technician came to my house and upon communication notified me that services I requested is not one that is advertised because my main sewer line is not back up. Cost would be $655 instead of $93 as was advertised. He left so i called company again I scheduled same services again because I wanted to do this service for an advertised price. Today 2 technicians came and start deceiving me into advertised promotion was not applicable to service I requested. There was some conditions in advertising but all of them were met I dont see the reasons for refusing have that promotion accepted by *** company. I called an office again and asked for a manager and was contacted with him shortly. During our conversation I felt that company deceive potential customers with this advertising because they try to give excuses not to honor this promotion and would offer same services for a much different price. I do believe company uses deceive advertising to fraud customers. I do have a copy of their advertising.Business Response

The work was started on December 14, 2023. The representatives from *** Plumbing came to my house and did the work incorrectly. I was overcharged for the installation of a ceiling fan, track lights and replacement of light switches and outlet covers. I agreed because I was confident they would provide good service and do the job correctly. They installed track lighting and when I questioned whether the light track was straight they told me is was an "optical illusion". I had to try several times to get another person to come out and straighten the track which was 4 inches off. The original representatives refused to measure it.The installed a ceiling fan in the bedroom incorrectly. After several no show appointments they finally cam out and installed a completely different fan because they said the fan I had was "faulty". It was not wired correctly. It still isn't wired correctly. We had a city inspector at our house with a representative from *** and this sill has not been resolved. There have been numerous no call no show appointments with *** where we took off work to be available and they never showed up.They threatened US with fines because the property had not been inspected for the work they did wrong. They did not show up for the first appointment for inspection and tried to say it was our fault somehow. We just wanted the work to be done correctly and never imagined it would turn out to be such an issue. We a requesting a partial refund. We should get all our money back but in fairness to the vendor (they came out and fixed some of it, not all of it) we have put in a dispute form with our credit card company for the amount of the down payment.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: *********** came back and did a poor job reinstalling the fan. It should be flush with the ceiling. I paid $5,600 dollars to have a good job done. If the company is not able to install ceiling fans properly they should not accept the job or accept payment. We had to patch up the wall because the representative said they do not do drywall after installing a switch in the wall. I was looking for a complete job, I may just have to pay another contractor to fix this.

The business has not reached out to us to fix the issue. We never declined an appointment. We were threatened by the company because we wanted an appointment time and they would not guarantee a meeting time. We took time off work to meet them on multiple occasions to meet them when they never showed up. I feel like they took advantage of us and are not a reputable or reliable company.*** Plumbing missed multiple appointments and I reported them to the ***************. The quality of the work is poor. I have had another contractor look at this and he said the fan is mounted incorrectly and should be flush with the ceiling. Our wall was never fixed either even though we have the materials. They refused to patch and paint where the wall was cut to put in a switch. We will do this ourselves but request the $1400 for the inconvenience, poor craftmanship and refusal to fix the wall. The entire charge from *** was $5600. We are requesting partial reimbursement.

The plumber charged me $880 for a change of gas valve and I got a second opinion. They claimed that it is reduced to $660 because I am a member. I got a second opinion and this company charges almost double what the others quote and I am disappointed to have this company perform future services.
