    They advertise this on their website when it ended on December 7th, 2025.

    Fante's made up an estimate from their Employee Alex/Alex added two Zone Valves w/two Thermostats/He told Me I would be getting another new thermostat in the upstairs apt so they could operate their Own thermostat/Fante's didn't do that work/They said Alex was a Rehash salesman which oh well it's on the estimate. I would have picked TJEckard for also $4000.00 less if I would have known this company wanted to swindle Me doing their bait & catch routine/Fante's didn't even get a "Permit" which is illegal. They waited 5 days after installing the heater to file for the permit but filled nothing in/They also switched the GB-ET60. 61 Extrol tank to a different brand called Prospect/they never sent the first item on the estimate which was the carbon monoxide alarm. I had to contact Mr. Ebner and tell him that that's missing. It took a month for him to send someone out, but that person handed it to my tenant and told her to put it on the shelf somewhere in the basement! And walked away! I then contacted him again and told him the outcome and it took four months to get someone to come out and actually install it where it's supposed to be on the wall. I'm on the opposite side where the heater is. That's against code and they should be fined. it's just laziness yet they advertise they have the best employees/it was finally installed properly per code 4 months later after the heater was installed without a permit. I have yet to see the chimney Certificate as well/All I am asking them to do is to pay me the difference from TJ Eckardt and minus it off my bill and let's get done w/this mess that they made/I think that's fair because I would've paid $9861 with TJ Eckardt not pay $13,845 w/Fantes. The only reason I chose them is because Alex said there was going to be a second thermostat installed upstairs so the tenants can control their own heat during the winter time/if I thought he was lying, which I did not I would've never chosen that company/but they tell Me they fired him & He explained everything to Me how the two zones work & how they would come in on the bill/all I want to do is give me the price of the extra thermostat that was sent for $350 deduction & a big $600 credit off of My bill/is that fair that I paid to have an extra thermostat & all I'm getting back is that taken off the bill? No it is not fair & it is not acceptable. They give out bogus information to the customer yet they think the customer should still pay even though the customer paid for something that wasn't done. instead of saying, their salesman made a mistake and they will take off the difference. But their salesman Alex sent Me an email explaining everything to Me/How two zones were going to be put into the house, then they fired him. Totally unacceptable & inhumane to treat your customer like this. Even the Installer put down at the bottom is the customer 100% satisfied with the job and the Installer put down "No" because there's a discrepancy of the second thermostat being installed upstairs. I am back-and-forth with this company with a Better Business Bureau and they keep saying the same thing over & over again. you would think a company would have looked over that sheet oven estimate which they think it's a contract that I never even signed and someone would've been smart enough to know since Alex put down two zone valves with thermostats that it is not impossible? Or why are we not sending the material? Who runs this company? they don't do a very good job. If I don't get what I am asking for them to do then I will have to take them to court . Plain and simple/I hope they turn around and realize they screwed me over and they're going to reimburse Me/I would never recommend this company to anybody. I feel I have been frauded w/this bait & switch Rehash guy/Also, in this so-called Estimate they don't even put their license number or insurance numbers on their estimates and I have never signed a contract. You can't make Someone pay if they didn't sign a contract. But I am willing to honor this so-called estimate once it is minus the price of a complete thermostat/like I said I would have hired TJ Eckardt instead if I knew this was never going to happen.

    The quote was very reasonable, and the crew sent to install was awesome (thanks Nick!).

    Awesome company!!!…read more Doug, arrived at my home, saw the problem, and within minutes fixed the leak. No hassle, polite, -and no BS! I would and will recommend JFK plumbing to anyone in need of plumbing services!

    I pretty much got stood up for what sounded like a better opportunity. I had JFK Plumbing &…read moreHeating scheduled for an 8 am-10am window this morning. I received a call at 7:50 that they would be there in 10 mins. I let me tenant know, and she advised that she was home and would be waiting for them. At 8:25 am I received a call back from JFK Plumbing & Heating saying that they knocked three times and that no one answered, so they left. I said, "I'm the landlord, and you didn't try to call me when after 3 knocks no one answered?" The plumber said he was getting all kinds of calls for other jobs so he couldn't stick around. I asked my tenant what happened and she said it was the strangest thing. The plumbing van pulled up, she even went over to the door after no one approached the house, and then opened the door as the van pulled away. My summation is that a more lucrative job came on the horizon (as mine was only a leaky toilet) and they decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze, pivoted, and took off. Regardless, the lack of professionalism, subpar efforts to communicate, and failure to consider how scheduling an appointment a week out and then bailing after 3 (largely contested) knocks, is just poor customer service. I wouldn't put my faith in them again, especially, as the plumber said if "all kinds of other jobs are coming in" I got deprioritized and you might too. Proceed with caution.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Goodman Plumbing. After having a great first…read moreexperience with them, I hired them again because I trusted them. Unfortunately, this second experience was the complete opposite. The original agreement was for Goodman Plumbing to dig down to the curb stop, shut the water off to my home, install a new water box, replace the pipes inside my home, and install a new shut-off valve. After realizing they could not dig into the street to perform additional work that would have cost me thousands more, they changed course and went against the terms of the original contract. Instead of honoring the agreement. Communication was terrible. I waited over a month with little to no updates while my pipes continued leaking. I had to repeatedly contact Goodman Plumbing just to find out what was going on. When they finally came out, they dug a hole and then refused to continue the job, claiming the pipe contained lead. Throughout the visit, the technician was on the phone with someone from the company. However, a Philadelphia Water Department inspector confirmed that my service line was not leaking, and records from the PWD Lead Service Line Map showed my address as non-lead. Despite this, Goodman Plumbing refused to accept the inspector's findings or move forward with the original work. To make matters worse, they broke the tip of my curb key and never told me. Inspector informed me the water can no longer be shut off due to tip was broken off. Goodman plumbing company refused to repair it, refused to restore the area with cement as required by the contract, and left an open hole in the public right-of-way with only caution tape around it. This created an unsafe hazard outside my home. They also never completed the plumbing work inside my house that they were hired to perform, yet still expected to be paid. When I asked them to take responsibility for the damage they caused, I was told it was my responsibility because my home is older. They refused to provide their damage liability insurance information and repeatedly shifted the blame instead of taking accountability. I was also pressured to make a decision within one day and received repeated phone calls the next day pushing me to spend thousands more. Rather than work toward a solution, I felt pressured and dismissed. I was told repeatedly by workers, and Manager Nick they will not fix or place cement over hole as it is now my responsibility, yet this was a part of the contract.  The most disappointing part was being told by Manager Nick to never contact Goodman Plumbing again for any future services. As a customer who trusted this company enough to hire them a second time, I found that response completely unprofessional. I regret giving Goodman Plumbing my business again. Instead of standing behind their work, they failed to honor the contract, damaged my property, refused to repair the damage they caused, left my property in an unsafe condition, and walked away from the job without completing the work they were hired to do. If you're considering Goodman Plumbing, I strongly encourage you to carefully review reconsider or if any digging is needed to follow-up with PWD have them inspect first. My experience was stressful, frustrating, and one I would never want another homeowner to go through. Now my home is left with unsafe, hazardous unpaved hole left with dirt they placed over with caution tape and sticks holding caution tape.
