Ridiculously priced! I called them to have the flange under my toilet replaced. The guy came and looked at it and told me it would take roughly 20 minutes. He gave me a quote of $534. When I asked "Why are you charging me over $500 for 20 minutes worth of work?" his response was "It's going to take longer than 20 minutes because I have to go get the part." The part sells at Lowe's for $15 and is 10 minutes away. I said I would go get the part if your knock off $300. He declined. Another company is doing the work for over 60% cheaper. This is a simple job guys. You can't be gouging peoples wallets like that. read more

I usually don't leave reviews either bad or good. But I have to leave one this time so hard working people don't get taken. Technician Matt came out to look at electric water heater on 3/7. He diagnosed an electrical issue that he fixed. I was very satisfied with Matt. A week later it was not working again. I called back and Earls sent Technician Robert Chase Rife out on 3/14. He did not even diagnose water heater. He said it was "too old for him to work on and he would not touch it". My wife said he was there less than 5 minutes. He left an estimate for $2,200 for new water heater. I called another company to look at it. The heater did not have any power to it. Easy fix for $175. According to Robert Chase Rife I needed a new water heater for $2,200. Don't be taken advantage of by Earls or this technician. So disappointed. One technician can lose a customer for life. read more

Friendly, reliable, and they do a good job. They came out two different times to help us out. They were great both times. The staff is friendly, easy to work with. read more

Hi a plumber named Ryan came to give an in home estimate a few days ago. He verballed harrassed my partner, causing a siezure. He then blocked me physically after getting to close to me and would not exit the house. My partner fell on the front steps, as a result of the siezure, while I was asking the plumber multiple times to leave. When the plumber left I ran through the house to the front and found him injured on the front porch. The plumber saw me holding his hurt head, yet drove away without asking if he was hurt or needed help. The manager Donny refuses to recognize that this even happened. It did happen. read more

Yay! I love Earl's Plumbing and Nate was exceptional! Nate is a kind and humorous man and a welcome repair guy! Thank you Earl's for sending Nate to save my water service today! read more

I had to leave while the technician was still working (finishing up) and when I returned several hours later, I saw that several drawers in my office and bedroom had been opened, and some jewelry had been taken, as well as papers that showed my credit card number, and a flower vase. We were told that it wasn't enough to file a police report, but were devastated and upset by the theft. DO NOT HIRE EARL'S PLUMBING! read more

Matt Bedsaul with Earl's Plumbing was fantastic! I had a time-sensitive emergent issue and he came, gave an estimate, and had it done in under 2 hours. Professional and super clean-masked up and respectful. Most plumbers in the area are comparable price-wise...BUT when I get a conscious and kind great service person it makes all the difference who I call! Call Earl's- and ask for MATT BEDSAUL. read more

this place is a joke. i had them make repairs to my well. first the clown that did the work installed the wrong pump which had to be removed then a proper pump installed. i have had constant leakes since. very poor plumbing.i am extremely sorry i made the mistake of calling them. i also think i was over charged.the person that made the repairs thought it was funny he installed tke wrong pump.. i was not sure he knew what he was doing. i had to endure an additional day with out water and i think i had to pay for the additioal time spent installing the proper pump. i have since had constant leaks in my well house because of his inadequate plumging skills. call anyone but earls plumbing read more

Nate arrived in the specified time given, analyzed the issue I had and verified his analysis with a simple test. He was spot on... problem solved. Nate is now the plumber I will insist on if I have ANY plumbing problems. read more

Thank you Earl's Plumbing for going above and beyond to fix my well during these terrible snow storms here in Forest Ranch. You used a personal 4 wheel pickup to get to me and made the necessary adjustments so that I could get water - wash the dishes, wash clothes, etc. before we lost power again. I am so grateful. That is old-fashioned service right there. Thank you. read more

Earl's Plumbing has always done a quality job. They are respectful, timely, and affordable. We've used them for all kinds of jobs from our property in the mountains to small jobs on properties we own in town. They have been very trustworthy and we would call them first any time. read more

This was the most outrageous price I've ever heard of. He thinks he's on hospital prevailing wage job. I would never ever recommend or ever use Earl's plumbing again. Unless you don't mind paying over price service, call anyone but them. read more

Run away, especially if you are an old, single woman. I have been ripped off by this company three times now. They started out with a very helpful, very reasonable priced repair on my jacuzzi bathtub. I think that is how they hook us. They then sold me a VERY expensive and totally worthless Nuvo filter system. When I asked them to check on that since my water quality is MUCH worse, they tried to upgrade me to an even more expensive water softer (while the technician admitted almost no one likes the Nuvo system). It went from that to a very expensive water heater. Their tactic, at least with us stupid old women, is to convince us if we do not do the expensive repairs right now, we will have very big and unmanageable costs in the future. This week, I call again to check on costs for septic pumping, telling them the last company that was here told me I would never have to pump it again in my lifetime. I am told "free estimate". The guy shows up and tells me $200, but gives me the impression it will be deducted from my bill if it needs pumping. I tell him do not leave the gates open. He leaves them open and my dog runs off. I am still crying, looking for my dog when he tells me it will be $1350. I am too distraught to argue so write a check, just grateful that I found my dog. I tell the guy please make sure the gates are closed. "Yeah, of course". Fortunately, I checked before I let her out of the house and found the back gate barely closed and not latched, side gate wide open. People are telling me I was grossly over charged for services I probably did not need-but I am a 67 year old single woman terrified of huge repair bills that will force me out of a home I love. I think this unethical company preys on people like me. Too late for me, but save yourselves!!! At least my dog is okay. They had the nerve to ask me to vote for them as "best plumber in Chico." read more

We recieved a quote from Earls to replace a water heater. This particular water heater requires ventilation. We were quoted with ventilation and proper install. They then stated they would not do ventilation, then did they would. They never did, but sent us a quote for another $1000 to place vents. Without proper install of vents, hot water heater will not work properly. We hired and paid for a professional, complete job. They never cleaned up after themselves, leaving boxes strung all over our patio. They left our side gate open, our dog could have gotten out, they removed our fire alarm and never put it back up, left everything they moved, did not put things back, and something broke out of their truck and they left the part and glass in our driveway. The men were nice, but the job was not completed and we will not use them again. We are very disappointed. read more

This crew put a filter on our well, fixed some lines, and addressed a series of unfortunate events lickety split! The crew was called out to fix a well filter but a series of unfortunate events that were just poorly timed to go off during their visit presented a bunch more problems for them and we were happy to have them on site. Without going into too much detail, Dennis was responsive, informative of each subsequent problem, and a joy to have into our home. We will certainly call them again! read more

Our toilet started to back up and than we found out our septic tank needed to be emptied. We called Earl's and they were able to get here in 2 days. Once they got here the job was done very efficiently. I am very impressed with the teams work ethic and their professionalism. Their prices are very resonable. A+++ if you need a plumber or your septic tank emptied I most definitely recommend Earl's! read more

I called because of a plugged sewer line. The dispatcher or person that answered the phone was very professional and set up the appointment quickly and efficiently. The communication was great. Following the phone call to set up the appointment, I received a text message verifying the appointment. I then received a phone call when the service man was able to respond earlier than scheduled. After confirming that the earlier time would work for me, I received another text message with the new information including a photo of the service tech. The service tech was friendly and polite. And clean! He was careful removing the toilet and took care to minimize the mess. He also fixed a leak that was discovered when the toilet was removed. The job was finished in a reasonable amount of time, and he also cleaned up the work area. In summary: On time, excellent communication, quality work, a bit pricey, but he had all the right tools and parts to fix the problem the first time. read more

My garbage disposal quit working. I called Earl's to.come and repair it. The guy came out, took an alan wrench and turned it a couple of times, unjammed the rotors. Did not take the unit apart, did not put in any new parts. Total time he worked on it was 5 minutes tops. Total cost $125. I have another project around my house that needs work. Would I call Earl's again? After that rip off job? Not in a million years. read more

We had the worst plumbing disaster I can think of - a failed septic system. Earls plumbing, and our main technician Devin were amazing. It was a long complex process with the county, finding an engineer, tree removals - basically everything you could imagine and Devin was proactive every step of the way. They were highly responsive, reliable, and transparent on all costs. Highly recommend. read more

Dennis was excellent and the work completed without incident. I had to have my Sewer from the street to the house replaced. Earl's team took care of the permits, road opening and all associated work. I was kept informed as the process took place so I had answers when I had phone calls regarding the situation. read more

They worked on my toilet and this morning my bathroom was flooded. They should have made sure everything was OK before leaving any they were not cheap read more

Earl's is the best, hands down. Trust no one else. I know for a fact the owner pays his guys well, and they perform accordingly. These guys know their trade and they are very straight. You might pay a bit more than a competitor, but the job will be done right or they will make it right. We've had bathroom installations, french drain clogs, gas line installs, water heater, etc. Earls does it all. read more

Excellent service. Diagnosed problem and gave us the actual repair cost immediately. There were no surprises costs at all. VThe technician arrived on time and was very professional & friendly. We will definitely be calling Earl's whenever we have a plumbing problem. read more

Well I am not impressed, service guy came out promptly the day after I made a appointment. Was quoted $1020 to replace a shower valve. I thought at the time whatever, water is ruining my floor. He repaired the leaking valve and now I have less than half the water pressure out of that shower. And after speaking with other plumbers, I was told I was way overcharged. Not happy with Earls read more

Just had a technician come out to the house because of a problem with our water heater. The tech first told us that the unit was probably 'shot' because of the age of the unit. I asked him how old he thought it was and he said it was stamped on it that it was manufactured in 2008. I told him the unit was installed in 2012. I asked where he came up with the 2008 date...he said 'It's stamped right on the unit', implying we were stupid or something. My wife went to double check...sure enough, it is stamped right on it: 'MFG Date 2012'. This guy was reading the serial number, not the manufacture date. When we pointed it out, he backtracked. At that point he said he would try and check the pilot light issues...why wouldn't you start with that??? I guess these guys try to go for the most expensive fix first. Anyways, he quoted us an INSANE price for a thermocouple replacement (OVER $250) but said there was no guarantee that was the issue! FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AND THEN GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE!!! What is wrong with companies like this? Do they really think consumers are that stupid? read more

I love them, Earl's Plumbing has been very responsive and in emergency situations has always been there for me and my business. Devan specifically has been the most amazing tech by far. While they are on the more expensive side, I know I'm paying for piece of mind. I've never had to call them back to redo a repair or re-address a previous issue. read more

First of all, the plumber was very nice and professional. The problem was the up sell on everything. We needed a faucet put in our bathroom. The quote for that one faucet...$1500!!! Apparently it comes with a lifetime warranty. Not sure I need a $1500 faucet with a lifetime warranty. We also got a hard push to warranty all of our plumbing throughout the house. That is not why we called. I guess if you're looking to have all of your plumbing warrantied for life, these are the guys. read more

As a Chief Engineer/Maintenance manager of 2 local hotels I've gone through a few plumbers. After learning who to trust and who I can rely on, my first and only call is Dennis @ Earls plumbing! He is extremely professional and respectful. The company as a whole is outstanding, but Dennis is my go to guy, never shows up late, but will stay late to complete the job. read more

Sales heavy and skill light. Poor problem solving by their plumber. They quoted me 13,000 for a drain line replacement after I spent $1000 on snake, camera, and hydrojet. I called a second plumber and he had the problem fixed for $150 dollars in repairs, and a $300 camera. There was a root that went through my drain line. Earl's was lazy. They didn't problem solve. They wanted to sell me a new drain line. They didn't listen at all. When I explained that the 90% of the drain line they wanted to replace was new, they didn't care. When I asked if I could dig up the problem section of pipe for them so they could examine it more closely, they said no. Everything about my experience was pathetic. If you are looking for a good plumber that cares about you, don't go to Earl's. I even talked to one of their ex plumbers. He mentioned the training is all about SALES, and not about plumbing expertise. If you want a plumber that cares about making the most money, but doesn't care about your personal needs, look no further. But hey - they offered 12 month no money down financing on the 13,000 repair I didn't need. So they got that going for them I guess? read more

As we are in the middle of the worse time we have ever seen, Earl's technician came just to do the yearly maintenance. I have a yearly maintenance and they were on time, performed the yearly check-up and also checked that the dishwasher was in good working order and not leaked all over the floor, since it had not been used for more than 2 years. I highly recommend Earl's Plumbing technician for his professional, prompt and excellent work ethics. read more

Wow what great service. Jeff Johnson was the technician and he was timely, very informative and fair on pricing. Sewer line cleaned and inspected same day and kept an escrow moving smoothly. Thank you Jeff and also the Earls scheduling folks for being there when I needed you. read more

Great service! Jason from Earl's plumbing was prompt, friendly, and got the job done. We have our on demand water heater serviced annually and they always do a great job. read more

James Card was great. First, I like that there isn't a service call charge. James gave me a run down of what it would cost to fix all three of my issues (they all went at once!) and also quoted the maintenance needed on my tankless hot water heater since I complained that the hot water takes too long. His work was professional (he wore booties in the house so my freshly cleaned house wouldn't get mud all over the floor) and he cleaned up after his work. Call Earl's! read more
