Michael & Sons is the company to use! They are inclusive for all of your main home components including HVAC, water heater, plumbing, etc. No need to have several companies with several contracts when you can have one company and one service contract. Our water heater went out on Friday (of course on the weekend)…
My HVAC serviceman Jordi and plumber Anthony arrived within minutes of each other and got mfurnace tuneup and water heater services done. They went over everything they did in detail and recommended potential followup services that might be needed before much longer so I could keep those in mind for later. Great service done quickly....thanks, guys!
Frank C. was fantastic. He came out on Saturday and did hls best to correct my years of not descaling my waterless tank. But the water stayed lukewarm.The only error my Rinnai heater gave was to descale which he did. Since it was Memorial Day weekend he needed to wait until Tuesday to talk to a Rinnai corporate…
Very positive and Jason was responsive and thorough.
Very nice service men
Elis was amazing! He took the time to explain everything he was doing and went over the prices before and after their membership. He was extremely knowledgeable and I would 100% trust him to work on our house in the future!
James Devoe was absolutely great. Walked us through our water heater flush, and what to expect. James was able to quote us our house filter system and will be getting that done soon.
Nolen was great! Extremely professional and thorough. Glad I switched from Roto-rooter who failed at getting the job done or at providing decent service. Glad I made the switch!
Exceptional service!! Highly recommend!
Bryan was On time, very informative very thorough! Also very pleasant and knowledgeable
Petey and team were awesome! He had to order a part For our water heater and was super responsive and understanding throughout the whole process. Appreciated the updates and the concern that he showed and now we have hot water!
James did an excellent job with replacing our water heater. He was professional and very knowledgeable.
Water issues and being on well water is a challenge but Travis was great
Great job!
Chase Fuller did an outstanding job in providing our family with hot water again. He worked quickly with his partner and repaired the problem very professionally.
Very professional, expert service.
Fast, friendly and great!
Called for a tankless water heater flush and a health check on the well pump/filter/tank; Ryan DiSorbo was a great technician, very knowledgeable and friendly, and took the time to explain his processes and teaching me what I (the humble homeowner) could do myself to keep my system in proper condition. Great service!
Juan did an excellent, professional job dealing with the plumbing issues of this old home. Well Done!
Called to have a water heater which was under warranty repaired, they tried to scam me out of thousands of dollars for a simple fix. Do not conduct business with this company.
Jon R. was great!
Jordan Joseph, who did several plumbing related jobs, was excellent. He kept me posted, answered all the questions. He was very timely, patient and even came back on our request for some change, without any fuss. Would recommend him strongly.
I can’t recommend this business enough. My water heater broke and being without hot water (especially with teenagers in the house) was no fun. I called many places that couldn’t even come look at my problem for another 4 days. When I scheduled with Michael & Son, I was able to secure an appointment a few hours…
Luis was outstanding!! Got my hot water heater working again and was so knowledgeable! Right on time and really friendly.
Michael and Sons just performed my bi-yearly check up. The technician was highly skilled and was able to complete the task in a highly efficient and professional. He pointed out areas that need some attention and could have completed the task today if needed. The best AC company in Raliegh!!
Danny was very professional, considerate, and knowledgeable. He was able to diagnose multiple plumbing issues very quickly. He was very detailed in showing and describing to me what each problem was, and what needed to be done to fix it. He also gave very honest recommendations and options for me to choose in order to resolve each issue. Highly recommend
Adam was very thorough, professional and friendly. He was able to service our water heater in a timely manner. I love this company!
We had a weird problem. Thought it was plumbing, turned out to be electrical. Jason, Blake, & Chris coordinated with each other and took the time to solve the problem, which was absolutely not straightforward. Blake kept me updated on costs and his plan the whole time, and when they finally figured out the problem,…
Great work and prompt service.
Tech was professional, patient, showed empathy, explained what he was doing and why.
Brayan went completely above and beyond during this repair appointment. He came in to help with our disposal (which was fixed quickly) and ultimately ended up fixing a long-broken shower and helping with long term plans to protect our water system and fixtures. He even fixed a lose doorknob he noticed!!
David was exceptional in helping me to determine next steps for our shower pan as well as diagnosing a problem with our water heater's expansion tank and PRV. He changed both of those items (and everything that goes along with that) and we are back in business at the correct pressure in the house. Thanks, David, for all of your help today!
Our plumber showed up promptly at the beginning of his arrival window. He was thorough and professional. What I really liked is that he didn’t try to upsell. He was honest about what was needed and provided great service. Ryne did a great job.
Andrew Hyatt did a great job… professional, knowledgeable and friendly! A real asset to your company. Thank you!
Yovan, the service person, wasvery knowledgeable and proficient in his job. He explained very well what needed to happen to make the repair.. Good job!
Our water heater burst late evening. Michael & Son came that night, Juan assessed our situation and installed a new one the next morning at a reasonable price, and the team that arrived the handle the remediation process (Houston, James & Michael) were professional, courteous, and great with keeping us apprised of…
I have never been so displeased with service as I am with this company. I have called and requested to speak with mgmt and corporate and have yet to receive a call. I have had several technicians come to my home. They seem incompetent and unaware of what they are doing. I have paid for service and the problem…
Highly recommend Michael and Sons. Specifically the tech, Ryan Disorbo. He was very personable and extremely thorough. He went through all of our options, taking time to explain the little details and the cost of everything. He wasn’t pushy and was confident in what he was doing. Will be using this company again and…
Ryne did a great job, was early and explained what he was doing! He was efficient with his and my time!
Frank was knowledgeable and helped with my tankless project. Came prepared, had parts and all of tools needed for the job. Thank you Frank. Will definitely recommend the company to friends and fam.
Joshua repaired my water heater. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and upfront about the process and price. He did a great job!
First of all, I cannot say enough about the professionalism and skills that Luis from Michael and son brought to my home today. He was clear, concise and explaining everything that need to be done. Very patient with me as we search for the shut-off valve in my home. Overall the experience was great. I suggest anyone…
Tom was outstanding… Second time he’s worked on plumbing repairs at our home. Knowledgeable and nice to work with.
We had a pipe burst to our hot water heater that caused quite a bit of water damage. We noticed it around 6:30pm and called Michael and Sons. Houston came out and examined the damage and talked us through everything. He was thorough and very kind. Adam was the plumber that came out. Again, he was very thorough and…
Great service and they very professional! Would recommend them to anyone have any plumbing issues in their home!
Great technician.
Justin Farrell came for seasonal furnace inspection and service. He was very personable, professional and thorough. He earned my trust for all future needs!
Ask for Andrew! Great work courteous professional and cares about his handiwork!
Michael was very knowledgeable and I would welcome him back to fix any other electrical issues I might have
Michael and Sons Thomas Hyatt was the most professional and knowledgeable service technician! His troubleshooting thought process was very sound and logical. He utilized all of his resources to attack the issue.
Jason called in advance. He showed up on time. He was quick in servicing my hot water heater, locating the issue, and making the necessary repair. I would absolutely recommend Michael and Sons!
We’ve had several folks out from Michael & Son for electrical and plumbing jobs and all have been kind, professional, and patient with questions. Their work has been excellent and they always present options and explain advantages/disadvantages of each.
Our water heater broke down on a late Saturday night. We called Michael & Sons and this company has made a terrible situation felt a little better. Frank and Danny explained what happened with our old water heater and you can see in the photo how much corroded gunk were inside. We eventually decided to switch to a…
My technician Miguel did a fantastic job. After asking a few questions about our problem, he quickly had an idea of what was causing my unit to fail. He said he would have it up and running in a few minutes and he kept that promise. He also gave me some tips I was unaware of, even after many years of technician…
Danny was professional and explained everything he was doing. He was very kind and personable.
Ryne is amazing!!! He fixed our water heater and even though he couldn’t fix every problem he made sure to leave us as comfortable as he could. He cleaned up the excess water under our sink and replaced our water heater damages. He was really a lifesaver!!! I would recommend this kind gentleman to anyone for any plumbing issues.
Frank was amazing. My water heater wasn’t working and required a part to be ordered. He kept me updated the whole time and came to finish the repair as soon as the part arrived.
Both crews, Gaspack and Furnace/AC, were very good. They worked hard and steady. They finished a little ahead of schedule. Tyler kept me informed and explained every thin when they were finished. They cleaned up at the end and it was like they were never here except the new systems work great.
He did a wonderful job! We're very satisfied. Above and beyond!
He came early and completed the task in a timely manner Educated me on how to maintain in the future Excellent job
Adam was very thorough in his work to repair the gas leak.
Our technician Ryan was super knowledgeable! We explained the noise and he immediately knew what was wrong and fixed it! He also checked out our water heater and noticed some valves and our expansion tank was starting to show signs of having issues. He explained the different options and things he could. We opted…
The technician was a very nice, courteous, and informed person.
Juan was fantastic! He was knowledgable, friendly, and made the necessary repairs. He will be our call when we need repairs in the future.
I have had quite a few different technicians from Michael &Sons work on my AC and plumbing and gas systems in the past 6 months and I have been extremely happy with the quality of the work, but also the friendly nature and thoroughness of the technicians. These are the folks that have come out: Josh Litvak, Edwin…
Frank the Plumber from Micheal & Sons did an amazing and very professional job addressing my hot water heater situation at hand and provided sound guidance for my near future replacement.
Easy to schedule and get support when I've had issues. I've been on a maintenance plan for several years. Not always the cheapest, but they definitely always do a great job. Most recently Ryne helped me with my plumbing and Darrin helped me with my HVAC. Would definitely recommend.
When inspecting our plumbing, Jon did a great job of explaining the dynamics of water pressure in our house and how they change over time. Since our pressure had evolved to be too high, he provided us with mitigation options. He replaced our pressure relief valve and our expansion tank (which had a bladder rupture…
We have used Michael & Sons for a number of projects over the last 15 years. Always quality work that keeps our home up and running. Their tech Nick helped us out with a water pressure issue this last week. Within minutes Nick had the issue diagnosed and was able to get the part replaced. Great work! Quality Work!…
Sylvester arrived promptly and was professional and courteous. He listened intently and then began his diagnosis of the issue with my water heater. He explained what he found and what the remedies are, and the outcome of each remedy. Based on the information he provided, I was able to make the best decision. He…
Very knowledgeable & thorough, also a very nice guy
Professional, nice, and on time!
We had the Company out 2 days due to a recurring problem in the frigid cold. It was a frozen condensate line. Juan, our tech, was great and a cool person. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Definitely recommend M&S for your needs.
Dezireon Ore from Michael and Son arrived on time early this morning and immediately went to work, fixing/replacing some of our old plumbing fixtures. His visit wasn't cheap, but it was professional and thorough. He was pleasant to work with and communicated clearly and helpfully. Good job, Dezireon!
I will have to say this is the first time using them. Very quick response to the issue and handled professionally. Will also have to say. Juan was our service person and if I was to rate him it would be a 10+. My mother-in-law lives with us. She said “that he was the most polite person she’s seen ever come service…
Quick to reply and arrive at our home. All was resolved.
Great work and very helpful. Talked me through the issues, solutions, and what to look for in the future.
The technician from Michael & Son was courteous and neat. He pointed out issues to monitor on our HVAC system, but he didn't push for the upsale. He also took care of a secondary service that was not part of the original appointment.
As always Michael and Son people always friendly and informative
The young man was very polite and knowledgeable.He completed the job quickly and cleaned up the work space. Great job!
I was so impressed with the service, very detailed, knowledgeable about out unit and the services they provide. Very professional, thank you!

Jason is an asset for your company. He’s helpful, polite, and professional.
Luis inspected our plumbing, descaled our water heater and also diagnosed a problem with our well tank, quoted and replaced it the same day. Very courteous and helpful.
Of the plumbers I called out to take a look at my issue, Michael's and Sons responded the quickest. Travis was courteous and knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it quickly and efficiently. I asked him to add one more repair on and he did it without hesitation. The annual membership for servicing was a pretty…
Ryan did a great job! He was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and even suggested a water filter system for me. It was great to have someone familiar with the area. Very professional service!
Fast and efficient! Thank you
I called that morning and that sent a technician out that afternoon. The technician was knowledgeable, personable, and got the job done. What a great employee and person Juan is.. I will definitely use Michael & Sons in the future
We had plumbing service done today because our home was not receiving any hot water. Michael Glavin was the Expert Technician to visit us. I was ridiculously pleased that someone could arrive on such short notice. The Emergency Fee was VERY reasonable. Michael was great to speak with, and resolved our water…
Had a great experience with Michael & Son Services. They came out to look at leaking water heater . Turned out to be expansion tank and the Tech Josh was great and was able to replace the expansion tank within less than hour. He was very professional and very knowledgeable about the water heaters . The price was…
I contacted Michael & Son for emergency repair of my water heater after a major burst that caused significant water damage to my home. Noah, the technician, came an hour earlier, but quickly diagnosed and fixed the problems from the water heater. I will be using them again, if I should have problems in the future!
We had an urgent plumbing issue that needed a first available appointment. It was so nice to be able to book a specific time slot online after business hours for the following morning. Josh was so professional and friendly and took care of the issue before I even got a callback from the other companies I left after…
I had electrical and plumbing work done. Both techs arrived within an hour of calling for service which was amazing! I had Devon come for electrical work, (installing smoke detectors, installing a light fixture, fixing wall sockets and re-doing wiring to a hot tub). Noah came for plumbing, (installing a new water…
We were so impressed with the level of professionalism and response time. Michael & Sons is a well run company! Our technician, Frank, was phenomenal. He explained our options without any pressure to buy a more expensive package. He spent a long time with the installation making sure everything was working properly.…

From the initial online appointment request 1:39pm they showed up early and the replacement/repair was completed by 5:05pm on a Saturday!! Prior Service -…
David Rivera was knowledgeable, conscientious, polite and efficient in explaining our options in repair versus replacing our tankless waterheater. What a pleasure to finally have found a company that takes care of their customers! The personal postcard was a surprise and very thoughtful.
Fabian was extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming regarding all that was needed and what the process would be. I had additional questions, and he took the time to look into each of them for the concern and resolution. I appreciated that so much. Thank you Fabian!
Frank was friendly, explained what he was doing, and did a great job
Excellent service....analysis of problem & given all options with a complete explanation of his findings!!
