They did a good job but they’re very expensive. $360 to fix a clogged bathroom sink. Took 20 minutes to remove the p-trap, snake the pipe inside the wall and remove hair that caused the clog. Pleased with the work but very pricey

United responded quickly on weekend night and dispatched consultation next morning. Neo was very friendly and not a pushy salesman. Pasha installed the new tank and did a great job!

Anton got here on time same day for a bad clog. He got into the crawl space to get a sense of pipe layout, snaked through the clog that’s pretty far down the pipe, and showed me videos of the pipes to get a sense of the issue. Very happy with the results!

I’ve used this company twice and had a great experience both times. Julian helped with a kitchen drain issue and did a thorough evaluation of the house, and Pasha helped with the water heater and faucet. Both were professional, responsible, and paid great attention to detail. I originally found them through their drain cleaning promo, and there were no hidden fees—the price was exactly as advertised. Reliable, honest, and easy to work with. I’d definitely use them again.

Close to the Fourth of July, my air conditioner stopped working in the middle of a heat wave and united HVAC was quick to respond. Logan came by and worked tirelessly to repair it. And now it works even better than before. Logan was very helpful and explained everything step-by-step and I really appreciated the diligence he showed in getting everything working. He just came by again to do a regular maintenance check up on my system ahead of winter and it’s just a pleasure to work with him.
