    Called First Rate Plumbing and they sent out Julian. The rooftop furnace was not firing up. Julian quickly diagnosed the unit and found that it had a bad spark module. He was prompt, professional, and did a great job. The unit was fixed same day and back up and running.

    Its a great name for a great company. They really are first rate. Their technicians are very professional and courteous. The prices are very comparable if not cheaper. They beat out 3 others companies on replacing both our furnace and swamp cooler. They will be the only company we call for plumbing from now on.

    I had a leak at the water main. The first repair person dispatched was not able to do the repair and had to enlist a more experienced plumber. The second plumber dispatched was able to immediately understand the issue and repaired it promptly. A good thing because we had water that evening, as promised. I would have given a 5 star rating to First Rate due to the professionalism, the commitment and perseverance of the company but Im not sure why an inexperienced plumber was dispatched in the first place? Nonetheless I am content with the repair quality and they seeing it through to the end.

    Honest work, fair pricing, fast reliable service. They say you only get two out of three. Not with First Rate Plumbing! You get all three. I operate a few rental units in the city and reliable vendors has been a real struggle. So grateful to have stumbled across this company. I can rest easier knowing that when problems arise we have a reliable fast and fair company to rely on for all of our hvac and plumbing needs. They also came in well under the other estimates we received. Be a smart person and choose First Rate!

    We have had Kyle service our system a few times now, and he has always been friendly, efficient, professional and did a great job. This latest time, he went above and beyond to help me loosen a water filter prior to starting his work., We have had First Rate perform our maintenance for several years now on our furnace, air conditioner as well as our tankless water heater and have always been pleased with their service.

    Nice young man showed up on time, after calling to confirm. The company had previously sent an email with his photo, so we knew who to expect. The call was for our regular autumn service check of the furnace and there were no issues. We are annual “club members” with First Rate, so there was no fee this time.

  • Review 7 (2024-09-11 - Rating: 4)

    Service was first rate. An easy and quick repair on my parents shower. Called on Monday and came out on Tuesday. Michael was friendly and professional. Plumbing repairs are not inexpensive, however, the price should have been less. Nevertheless, Im satisfied with the overall experience.

  • Review 8 (2024-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    Kyle at First Rate Plumbing and Heating was very nice and polite and kept us informed every step of the way as he fixed the leak in the plumbing at my mothers house. He came out the same day we called them and identified where the leak was and came out 2 days later with Enrique and fixed the problem. They were both very professional and polite. With the help of John they came up with a creative solution to our problem. We are very pleased with the work.

    Company did our Fall HVAC service. Technician was very thorough, and provided us a written report on what he had accomplished, and recommendations for other plumbing and HVAC services. Company notified us that the tech would be arriving early, and confirmed that was OK with us. They also let us know his name and how far away he was. Great approach to service!

  • Review 10 (2024-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    As always, we were very pleased with the service we received today. Mike showed up early and was very efficient and finished winterizing our cooler and starting up our furnace in record time. Thanks for always giving us such excellent service.

  • Review 11 (2024-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    So fast and easy. Priced competitively and had the inspection done before Wagner even called me back. Daniel was early, communicative, helpful, and polite. Id use them again without thinking about it.

  • Review 12 (2024-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    The plumber called and arranged to arrive early. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed. He also took the time to explain how we could relight the pilot and restart the heater ourselves in the future. Great service, wed be happy to have Mike back if we have problems in the future.

  • Review 13 (2024-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    My A/C had been acting up for 3 days. My brother had used First Rate and highly recommended them. They sent a technician (Jude) to my house within an hour. Jude quickly diagnosed the problem, serviced my refrigerated air unit, and explained exactly what was wrong. The cost was about what l expected it would be and Jude was professional and polite. I will definitely recommend First Rate to others.

  • Review 18 (2024-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    When my swamp cooler went out suddenly, First Rate Plumbing was indeed “first rate.” There is a real person promptly answerig the phone, and they offered me a same day appointment. Ron came promptly at the appointed time, and was very thorough in explaining what the options were.

  • Review 19 (2024-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    Ive used First Rate Plumbing for 3 or 4 years. I have a service maintenance agreement with them which primarily is used to start up and provide maintenance for the HVAC system . This recent visit was to replace my utility sink. Patrick came out to discuss options and give an estimate. A few days later he returned with the new sink and installed it. He did a great job! I always appreciate when Im given additional information about the work, i.e., why it needs to be done this way, etc. Patrick also checked with me during the work to make sure I was ok with the progress of the install.

  • Review 20 (2024-07-18 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 23 (2024-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    First Rate sent a technician who owned the same type of cooler I had and understood the specific operation and potential failure points unique to brand. He diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in a short time. He did an exceptional job, including rerouting a water line to clean up the installation. A++ service.

  • Review 70 (2024-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    I recently had mini-splits installed by First Rate Plumbing after getting quotes from 3 companies. I was very impressed with the expertise and professionalism of all the technicians who came to the house to do the work. Ron did a great job of evaluating the best solution for my house, provided a guaranteed quote while at my house and informed me of the rebates and tax breaks I could expect to get. None of the other companies did this.The 2 main plumbers, Jake and Enrique, doing the work were great and were very knowledgeable and helpful in answering my questions and in letting me know when they were arriving and leaving. They did a great job! The company sent a photo and a bio of their employees who came to the house, which is a great idea in these days of scams and unwanted soliciters. I highly recommend First Rate Plumbing!3
