    Overpriced | $500-600 ZERO STARS…read moreWe bought the service contract this year with Carmine's for $490 bucks. I called them because one zone in the house was down. TYLER M came out and diagnosed the problem... seized zone valve actuator. The part costs $116 bucks. He wanted to charge me $772 to replace it. When I refused, he asked me to pay the $150 service charge for coming out, even tho I have the service contract. Probably normal if you don't let them repair. I called Carmines and complained, but they wouldn't reduce the charge. When I told TYLER M that | was going to pay the $150 service charge and let him go, he said he needed to go back down and get his tools. After about 12 min I went down to see what he was doing and he quickly grabbed is bag and started walking out. When we got to my door, he showed me that the price had dropped to $529 for the service to repair. What kind of rip off gymnastics is this company doing????? I let him do the repair. Big mistake. JUST TO BE CLEAR... I paid $529 to replace a $116 part which took 15 min to change out. They were originally going to charge me $772, until I refused. PRESSURE-PRICING TACTICS. Had a bad feeling after I let the tech (TYLER M) replace the damper actuator. I set the heat to 70 and the heat went up to 80 and the heat kept coming up even tho the thermostat was set to 70. I had a bad feeling that he did something deliberately so that we would need another repair. So, I called them back and they sent the same kid (TYLER M) and he said that the OTHER actuator on the other damper blew out... within 24 hours of the first one. He said he would replace it for the same price I paid the day before. I told him we'd take a pass and showed him the door. Now my HEATING SYSTEM IS ALL SCREWED UP and I need to start over with a different company. I called Carmines to report this to them and ask for the remainder of my service contract. They said no and told me to have a nice day. No effort to mar it right or retain me as a customer. This was a locally owned and operated company. They are now "partnered" with GEM Electric. Please don't use them. They are unscrupulous. I will be reporting them to the CT Department of Consumer Protection and the Better Business Bureau

    I hired carmines to do an estimate on a valve that was simple.And they wanted to charge nine…read morehundred and sixty dollars plus tax.I got another company to do it 220.00 he did it the whole job in ten minutes. Ever since carmines merged with this other company They've gotten nothing but complaints. I would make sure that I do my due diligence.Next time you want to consider hiring them, make sure you've got other estimates because the company that bought carmines is a rip off.

    Showed up on time, charged a fair price, fixed everything that needed to be fixed the first time…read more Great people!

    Our first experience with Plumbums was excellent - we had an emergency issue, Jim was able to come…read moreout within an hour or two and get it fixed, and he was on his way. When our pipes froze during the big storm this January (thankfully, without water in them), we decided to hire Plumbums again. That didn't go as well. Quality of work: The fixes Jim suggested (a series of individual junction fixes) seemed reasonable for the repairs needed, but in some cases replacing whole sections would have been more time- and cost-efficient (according to other plumbers we've had in our home who have seen the work done). And we needed four return visits within our first three days living in the house to address issues that had not been resolved or that popped up as soon as we turned systems on. One problem (heat running constantly on our first floor, making the house over 80 degrees in the winter) was unresolved until I researched possible causes myself and communicated that to Jim, who sent out one of his guys to implement the fix. Professionalism: We were frustrated by the lack of care shown toward our property. Jim's guys left plumbing debris (not just the stuff our homeowner's insurance requested, but just straight-up trash), food trash, and drywall dust in our basement and living areas. This means that the first thing we had to do after driving 3,200 miles to move in was clean up after them. Drywall was removed roughly in several locations, and although patching was not included in the estimate, the cuts themselves appeared unnecessarily sloppy (and our new plumber neatly cuts and replaces drywall as a matter of course, leaving the mudding to us, which is fine). Plumbums did work well with our insurance company to get our claim handled, and ultimately we have working plumbing. But our experience wasn't great.
