    Answered
    I hired Albert Nahman Plumbing to install a heat pump water heater in July of this year, due to their good reviews, and they are a ****** authorized installer. To qualify for the $1000 rebate for replacing my old gas water heater, the installer has to be authorized by *************The install was completed and paid for on July 25th; On July 20th I submitted the paperwork to Albert Nahmans then-rebate coordinator ***********Life happened and it wasnt until early October that I realized I had heard nothing about the rebate status, so I called on 10/4 and was told ***** had left the company and I should talk to the new coordinator, *****. I did so, and she assured me that shed take care of it and should just forward her all the paperwork I 'd originally sent to *****. Which I did. I heard nothing and contacted ***** again on Oct 10th and then again on Oct 23rd. On 10/30, I called in and asked to speak to a supervisor. ************************* (General Manager) contacted me and after listening to my complaint asked me to sum everything up and follow up with an email to him, which I sent the same day. ****** responded that hed spoken to his coordinator, who would push the rebate further and they just needed to find a picture of the old water heater. Give me until tomorrow he said.Tomorrow came and went, and I called and left messages for ****** several times. None got a response. I emailed him on Nov 9th, which he responded to by saying hed been busy and would get an update from *********Once again I heard nothing and tried calling multiple times to no avail, and sent another email on Nov 16th demanding a response and progress on my $1000 rebate. I also say if I dont hear back in a week Im going to look into other options, such as bad reviews, state board complaints, and legal action (which would need to be small claims)And here I am. Stonewalled and ignored. And to add insult to injury, I just found out that ****** lowered the rebate to $250 in August.

    Please be aware the prices Albert Nahman Plumbing company charges are outrageously high. $500 to clean a shower drain (all of 15 minutes). We questioned the repairman and he said that is what plumbers are charging now for that service. We needed the drain cleared right away and we were in a tough spot so we agreed. We contacted the company to possibly negotiate a fair credit for the job but they were very uncooperative. We hired this company once before and the price was fair for the job; we will not use Nahman Plumbing again. When we agreed to the $500 charge we asked if there was a veterans or senior discount and ******* said yes; but instead of discounting the $500 he increased the price to $531.00 and then applied a veterans discount bringing the total to $505.00. After discussing this with the company they agreed to applying the discount to the $500 balance. This has been a very upsetting experience.

We understand that pricing can be a sensitive topic, especially in urgent situations. Our transparent pricing is based on industry standards, considering our team's expertise and quality of work. We can't apologize enough that your discount wasn't applied initially, and we're glad we were able to resolve that for you. Please know that our commitment to quality service remains unwavering, and we will review the processes that caused these issues to prevent any oversight going forward.
