      Status:
      Answered
      Beware: Do not hire this company. The very worst experience that I have ever had with any company. They replaced my hot water heater 4 years ago for over $1,000. The cold water line fittings completely corroded and rusted out and developed a major leak. I live on the 8th floor in a condo in Naples and if someone was not there at the time, the water leak would have flooded all 7 floors below me and could have caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage due to improper fittings used on the cold water line. Was told by the tech that the guy who did this, probably doesnt work here any longer. I had no water since shut off valve for tank did not work, also installed by them. Had to turn off main supply line. They came out and said would replace tank at no charge and be there later that day or following day. I asked for an emergency repair just to get cold water working and they wanted $374.00 to put a cap on the line to stop leak. Another way to hold me a hostage. They would not answer phones, even the emergency number. Talked to the owner the very next day and he said to sign the estimate he sent by e mail for $986 and they will install tank. $986.00 was for labor only or a job that they said would take 2 hours to complete, highway robbery! They were holding me at full hostage without a useable condo, (could not even flush toilets). I am a school teacher and had to work the next day and had to drive clear across town to shower at a friends house before work. I hired an honest and reputable plumber the very next day and he by -passed tank for cold water use and charged me only $67.00. The new honest company will get all of my future work and business for all of our condo units in the future. Our condo association is well aware of this and have inspected this disaster installation event. **************

      This business has flat rates: We were charged $75 for ProTec to simply dispatch a plumber to our address. At an additional "flat fee" of $280, the techs spent 20 minutes to evaluate and identify the source of leak as coming from drainage piping (leaking toilet). Their evaluation included other potential plumbing issues for consideration. They charged us over $350 -- without repairs. Their "flat fee" (with a military discount) to replace flappers & floats for 2 toilets was and ADDITIONAL $535. The 1 star is kudos to the professional staff we interacted with. Predatory pricing? You decide.

      02/12/2024

      Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns regarding the recent service you received from Pro-Tec Plumbing and Air. We apologize for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction you may have experienced during your interaction with our company. Providing exceptional service to our customers is our top priority, and we regret that we fell short of meeting your expectations in this instance.
      Upon reviewing your account and the details of your service request, we understand your frustration with the charges incurred. We strive to maintain transparency in our pricing structure, and feel our pricing is very much in line with the services rendered. Identifying a leak in the hoe does require diagnosis from the technician.
      As for the pricing for the replacement of flappers and floats for your toilets, we understand your concern about the additional cost. We will review our pricing structure to ensure that it reflects the value of the services provided while remaining competitive in the market.
      We appreciate your recognition of our professional staff, and we are grateful for your acknowledgment of their dedication to serving our customers with excellence as we do with every one of our calls and customers.
      In response to your concerns about predatory pricing, we want to assure you that it is never our intention to take advantage of our customers. We are committed to fair and transparent pricing practices, and we regret if our actions have led you to question our integrity. We present estimatesto be accepted for all services to be rendered before any work is done. We have been doing business in Southwest Florida for over 15 years and we pride ourselves on fair and honest pricing. 

      Customer Response

      Point 1: We were quoted the flat fees of $75 simply to dispatch their technician. Actually, two techs arrived, each in a relatively new truck.Point 2: We were quoted $180 flat fee to identify the source of the leak. Within 15 minutes the source, a running toilet, was discovered.Point 3: The two techs spent nearly 30 minutes in their trucks generating several high-priced repair estimates for items they considered to be a problem. Every one of them was way off the charts cost-wise.Point 4: One tech pushed for immediate payment using a credit card vs. having the office generate a bill on paper. I provided my credit card, which he ran without showing me the cost. A day later not only did we receive a paid receipt from ProTec but a charge on our **** totaling $284. THIS IS $100 OVER THE QUOTED "FLAT FEES". Point 5: Absolutely NO work or repair was performed therefore, what is their explanation for charging us $100 MORE for nothing more than showing up and identifying the leak source.POINT 6: Separate to this incident, a replacement part for the leaking toilet was purchased for less than $20 and the leakage stopped.PREDADORY BUSINESS?
