I had the most amazing experience with the Plumbing and Heating Doctor team. Aria and Braxton in the office were great communicators and always got me answers promptly. Tony jr. got me the quote and took the time to explain each item for the repairs. Mark and JD were the techs that made the repairs. All I know is I…

So grateful for this company & technician JD. Had 2 sumps installed & water heater replacement on the same day. A competitor said they could do JUST the sumps over 2 days in 3 months, PHD's JD scheduled me ~a week out, got it done in one day. Professional, informative, timely, thorough. I took a shot in the dark…

Our water heater failed over the 4th of July weekend, and Plumbing & Heating Doctor was the only company that answered our emergency call. Mark called us back almost immediately, answered all of our questions, and gave us clear recommendations. We decided to wait until Monday, and Mark arrived right on time. He was…

Our old water heater finally died. Laureta was extremely helpful! Plumbing & Heating Doctor sent Dan out to take a look. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Due to it's age and becoming a safety hazard, we ultimately decided to go with a tankless install. After a few days in operation, supplying hot water…

Excellent service! I discovered a leaking water heater on Monday and by Friday I had a new on-demand unit installed. JD & Dave were great and answered all my questions, they left my garage cleaner than when they arrived. Every person I spoke with at PHD was great, very polite & professional. I've already recommended PHD to several friends.

I will say, I do feel I over paid for the installation of my tankless water heater. However, other than departing with more money than I would have liked, I feel like it was worth it. What I paid extra for in this transaction was a company I feel I can trust. While I was quoted less from other companies for the…
