    FS Plumbing - New shut off valves installed by Frank

    FS Plumbing

    (38 reviews)

    My main water valve starting leaking so Frank from F.S. Plumbing was quick to respond with a price…read moreand time the next day (was even able to make it out on a Saturday)! Frank stayed in touch to update me for time and ETA of his arrival. He was able to fix our problem and was super knowledgeable about all of our plumbing needs. He was nice enough to take a look at our kitchen faucet that also had a slow leak to help diagnose that problem. Great local small business that works hard to make sure customers are treated right. Highly recommend!

    I could have died from carbon monoxide poisoning. I hired Frank, he never told me his last name, to…read morerepair two bathroom drain pipes that shared one wall in early March 2026. I asked him if I would need a work permit pulled for these repairs and he said "no". I thought F.S. Plumbing was a licensed plumbing company. I later found out it is not a licensed plumbing company. I also found out from both St. Louis County and St. Charles County that a permit would have been required for these four repairs. When Frank came out to do the work, he tore out a part of the wall in my bathroom, he said the only way to repair both drain pipes was to cut a hole into the metal vent that was inside the wall. I asked him if it could be easily repaired and he said that it would be an easy fix and that I could fix it myself with a piece of metal and a few screws. He told me he thought it was a cold air return. When I told him my cold air return was in the hallway, he didn't respond. I then told him I thought that was the vent coming off my furnace and asked if he wanted to go to the basement to look. He had been in my basement earlier to look at my outdoor faucet pipes since he was going to repair them as well. He declined going to look in the basement to see what the vent was and he proceeded cutting into the vent. He cut a large hole in the vent and the way that it was cut I saw no way to repair it since the one drain pipe was running right through it. I decided to Google "can you cut a hole in a furnace vent?" I got the quick response of "absolutely not". I called my local fire marshal and he agreed that it should have never been cut due to it being the furnace and water heater flue vent for carbon monoxide release. I called a retired HVAC friend and he said Frank, a plumber, should have known that you can't cut open a furnace flue vent. He told me not to pay Frank until I found out how much it would cost to replace the flue section. After I researched and found out this information, Frank asked to be paid. I told him I couldn't pay him that day until I found out exactly what it was going to cost to replace the flue vent. He said he wouldn't leave my house until I paid in full. I felt threatened and intimidated so I wrote him a check for the full amount of $1495. Frank left the house and, I found out later, he immediately drove to my personal bank (of the check) and cashed the check that same day. Also, when Frank left my house, he didn't tell me to not use my heat or hot water, or to turn them off in the basement. I could have died of carbon monoxide poisoning if I hadn't called my friend, later, who told me this fact. My friend told me how to shut off the gas furnace and water heater valves after Frank left to cash my check. I didn't have heat or hot water for over two weeks until the flue vent was ordered, delivered, and replaced. (The vent was a special order and came from out of State since it was a vent from the 1960's and no other manufactured flue vents would fit properly or safely). Frank refused to pay for the repair which turned out to be a replacement of the section of flue vent between the two bathrooms. I got 4 bids for him so he would see I was trying to get him the lowest price for the flue replacement. The HVAC bids ranged from $1500 - $2500. Frank came over to my house a few days after his initial work and said he was going to "fix" my flue vent. He was holding a tube of caulk and a piece of metal. I told him again that the flue section had to be completely replaced. He didn't believe that the flue had to be replaced even though a fire marshal and six HVAC guys said the situation was very dangerous and the vent section had to be replaced. I spoke to Frank, off and on, for three weeks giving him ample time to do the right thing and pay for the flue replacement. He refused, and the last time I texted him he texted me "God is watching". I had the flue vent replaced and I paid for it. I, also, had to have another plumber redo the drain pipe repairs that Frank charged me $895, I had to pay an additional $1000 for the drain pipes to be moved to the correct position, away from the vent. I had to have the wall repaired with new dry wall and tape since the HVAC man had to tear the wall out to get to the entire flue vent. I contacted YELP in late March since Frank has the red YELP GUARANTEE but they have not responded to my filed claim. I have contacted the Missouri Attorney General Consumer Complaint department and they have opened complaints against YELP and F.S. Plumbing and are currently investigating the claims.

    Had them come out a week before Christmas. House was at 54. They came out and said it was a bad…read moreswitch and that they had to order it. So, my house was chilly (furnace would work but not hold at 68) but we were running space heaters so not too big of a deal. Get the part a few days after Christmas. The guy comes out to install it but this time the furnace wouldn't work at all and the guy said it must be a cracked heat exchanger. So, he ultimately came to the conclusion I must buy a new furnace. The guy said I'd get a call from the office that day to get a new furnace. I stressed the urgency before the cold spell. Crickets... no one called and with the recommendation of a new furnace, I wanted another opinion. Called another vendor. They came out and looked at the switch. The Chowning guy installed it backwards... the heat immediately came back on once the new vendor flipped it. 3 days later, the furnace would no longer hold the temp again. Called the new vendor up and they were out that day. They spent 3hrs doing a full diagnostic. They determined that I didn't need a new furnace and the original switch (that Chowing insisted needed to be replaced) was never bad. The circuit board was going bad. The new vendor searched online that day, found a replacement in Fenton, picked it up, and installed it. Furnace is working like a charm now. All I can say about Chowning is that it's lazy. They don't care if they're wrong and you have to spend a bunch of money on a new furnace you don't need. That laziness combined with the apathy of outcomes for customers is why I'll never use them again.

    I highly recommend Chowning Heating and Cooling. Once when we had a problem with our unit, we…read morecalled Jerry Kelly. Not only did they try to sell us a completely new unit, they wanted around $2,000 to fix the problem. We called Chowning Heating Cooling, and they fixed the problem for around $300!!! They are honest and won't try to take advantage of you.

    Faszold Heating & Cooling - O'Fallon location

    Faszold Heating & Cooling

    We have used Classic Aire for almost nine years and have had service calls and twice-yearly checks…read moreover the years. A new HVAC system was installed in our home in late March this year and everything was done professionally and neatly with no messes left for us to clean up. The system worked great until the incredibly damp and cool spring when the AC was having real trouble dealing with the humidity in the house. But Faszold--and its mother ship, Classic Aire Care--kept sending out a couple of stellar technicians to check and adjust the system until they got it right. And this was warranty work--we did not pay for anything as they tweaked settings and made the system work in our home. Anthony and Steve are true problem solvers as they continued to address individual parts like the thermostat and fans and they finally got it all worked out so that the system is able to keep our house below 50% humidity. It was a frustrating time but the company has been responsive and supportive. Mike Faszold was also amazing and continually answered my calls and texts during both pre-sale and after install time. This company stands behind its installs and comes through on its promise of good customer service. Check around but believe what they tell you.

    Called this morning and they were able to fit me in today for a service call. Their technician…read morediagnosed the problem as being a bad circuit breaker and not a furnace issue at all. I appreciated the honesty! He had to leave to get a new circuit breaker and came right back to replace it. I'm happy with the service - prompt and courteous - but I am not thrilled with the high cost. The service call was $89 and a new circuit breaker should cost only $20-$30. I was charged $331.50 total, which I've been told by neighbors is very, very high for such a simple fix...Oh well. At least my furnace turns on now.
