    On 2/21/2023 I called Need A Plumber for electric water heater replacement. They asked for photos of my old heater. I sent 2 pics, of the heater and mfr label with wattage. They found a heater in the warehouse and said it could be installed next day. I said how *****. They said ****** BTUs! I said my heater is **** *****! They said oh sorry, and searched the warehouse again. They eventually found a **** watt heater. I set up the install for the next day. I planned on 2 hours away from work. Upon arrival at my home, the heater was 7-8 inches taller than my old one. The technician said it could be installed even though the old pipes were 7 or 8 inches lower than what would be required for this taller heater. I said OK, believing I got the last electric heater in stock. After 4 hours, the tech said the bill is $1765.00!He said the office added $165 for labor and added copper costs too. No mention was made about returning the heater to the warehouse and sending a proper replacement. I was under the impression this was the only one available. No prior mention was made about extra cost to install the heater. If I sent photos of my old heater and mfr label, shouldnt the plumbing company, who are the Professionals, know what size and wattage are required? I asked for $300 refund and was told I can have a 10% discount on my next service! Why would I ever do business with a plumber who messed up my install? Eventually they offered to install the proper heater at a cost of $1765.00! This is more than the original install. I feel like I should be compensated for missing 2 additional hours of work. I planned on 2 hours for the install and had to take another 2 hours away from work because the Professionals sent the wrong sized heater. Thank you.

    I found Need a Plumber through a google search and gave them a call. Everything from the initial call to the job completion went great. It was easily a 5 star job... until I got the bill. You see, you are not paying them to do a job... you are paying them simply for their presence. So, if the guy is still there 1 minute past one hour your bill goes from $185 to $277.50 because they charge in 30 minute blocks, not 15 minutes (which would be a bit more acceptable). And they decide when to start and stop the timer. So basically, they charge you like lawyers or tow truck companies do, dishonestly. In this case, he literally opened the door to his van at 11:50 am, and I was looking at the completed invoice at 1:04 pm. But the job itself (he unclogged a pipe) took less than an hour, easily. Afterwards, on a later phone call I was told the service took 1 hour 20 minutes, meaning they even counted the time it took me to call their office (at his suggestion) to ask them about this seemingly excessive charge. By this logic they may as well charge you for the time it takes to drive to your home and back. Find a more honest company that won't rook you. At least when it comes to billing Need a Plumber does not act in good faith and cannot be trusted.
