Another plumber wanted to charge us for a bunch of unnecessary work and these guys came in and told the truth and did what they said they would do. Imagine that. Good guys. Also John Luke himself came in to check and verify some things and offered me some sound advise about home owners insurance while he was here. I will happily recommend this company. While I wouldn't say they're cheap, they are fair and honest and don't charge for unnecessary stuff.

Sent them the pictures, and reached out about a week later to see if anyone had looked at them. They responded with "it's on the to-do list". Never heard anything back after that. If they're too busy just say so. The level of incompetence with companies like this is disappointing and frustrating.

I'm honestly surprised by the low rating here, because that was not my experience at all…read more I had a horrible plumbing situation. I brought in two other companies to look at my issues and they made it sound like complete doom and gloom. 70 year old cast iron pipes don't bode well, but the quotes they gave me for PVC replacements were outlandish. Then the folks at Walsh Brothers came in, gave me a reasonable quote, and fixed pretty much all of my serious plumbing issues. The pipes even look good! All it took was for someone to get a little creative with the layout of my house and figure out an alternative solution, which they were able to do. Three months later and my plumbing is doing just fine. I'm super happy I chose Walsh Brothers because I feel I was treated with respect (i.e. not gouged for money) and my issues were fixed quickly and efficiently.

The visit lasted 30-plus minutes--not a bad profit margin for the company! But I was also concerned about my bathroom's sink and tub drains being very slow. The young worker told me that once he solved the clogged toilet issue the others would also be solved. I tried to urge him to look at the other problems, but he declined, saying that he was not familiar with my brand of fixture hardware; and, thus, he could not investigate. The brand is actually called "California Faucets" and I would think a plumber, worth his credentials, would be able to deal with just about any clogging issue. Apparently not. So, now I have to hire another plumber to get my sink and tub drains flowing freely. Lesson learned: Be skekptical of a plumbing company's advertising! Thus, the 2.8 current quality rating via Yelp. P.S. As an aside, I asked the plumber about his newish battery-operated device that extended as far as six feet into a toilet and effectively (after a few tries) blasted through the obstruction in the piping. He told me it was very expensive, costing around $400...enough to discourage a homeowner from purchasing one, but encouraging the homeowner to call a plumber. I looked into buying such and found out that it really sells for around $100, definitely worth the price to a homeowner.

Fosh Plumbing and Heating have been our go-to plumbers for many years. Recently, we had an plumbing…read moreemergency that required immediate attention. Jim personally sent someone over right away, even though it was on a Sunday. We had to replace our floor and scheduling that installation required having plumbers come just before and then right after the installation.

I highly recommend Jim Fosh and everyone at Fosh Plumbing and Heating.

However, once we went to my basement to look at the pipes, he sat on my workout bench and started using my weights without asking. Later, he sat on my sofa upstairs, again without permission. I let it go at the moment because the conversation was going well. I also mentioned a bad experience my mother had with a previous contractor and simply asked if his work came with any type of guarantee. He took it the wrong way and became defensive. Later, his secretary called me about a payment plan, which I explained I would consider once I had the money ready. The next day, she called back saying the plumber decided not to do the work -- and shortly after, he texted me saying: "WHY WOULD YOU CALL A PLUMBER AND YOU HAVE NO MONEY WASTE OF TIMES." That message alone shows a complete lack of professionalism and respect. When I called the company to report it, the secretary defended his behavior instead of apologizing. I do not recommend this company at all. Experience means nothing without professionalism, manners, and respect for clients.

Our 5 year old HVAC system stopped working, so we called McLoughlin Plumbing , Heating, and…read moreCooling. Steve from service was dispatched to look at our unit. He found a few issues with the system and replaced the refrigerant. The unit started to work again. About 30 hours later, the same problem occurred. Steve found a leak in the system and worked with his manager to locate the part. Unfortunately, the part was back-ordered. There was no target date for our unit to be repaired. The day this occurred, the temperatures went to 100 degrees. Not willing to wait or to put more money into the problem, we contacted Rob who put together a quote and sent it to us in about 2 hours. I ask him when he needed to know the model we wanted to install, and he told us by the next morning at 8: 00 am. My husband and I called Rob's mobile phone at 8:00 am. We told him that we expected that the HVAC unit would be installed by end of business that day. Much to my surprise, Rob said that the two units we were interested in were available locally. Not only that, he said that he pulled two guys from a new construction installation, and if I looked out my window, I would see two trucks outside waiting for him to tell them to come to our door to begin to dismantle the existing unit. I quickly went to our front window and they were there! Wow, now that was impressive! Not only that, Rob stopped at the distribution center on his way to the office and was at the site to pick up the unit that we decided on! Also pretty impressive. The installation was flawless. The three guys were great, professional, and efficient. I highly recommend McLoughlin for HVAC units. My expectations were extremely high, one might even say unrealistic. I am pleased to say the Rob and his team far exceeded my expectations. Thank you to all that worked to get us cool again. Laura Thompson

My wife and I bought a house in Havertown, PA while living in California. My local parents…read moreinformed me that the A/C was not working. My wife and I engaged with Borden as the unit is a Bosch and not all A/C companies service the brand. My wife gave the receptionist her credit card number and asked her to fix any issues and/or perform routine maintenance. She made this request because we did not trust my parents that the A/C was not working (user error more likely). We did not hear from Borden on the day of scheduled service. The next day my wife told me her credit card was billed $1200. Via text or email, the technician explained that my parents were using the wrong thermostat. The technician proceeded to place a float safety at the secondary drain pan and also recommended adding another return to the unit. He charged 300 dollars an hour for labor. His half hour drive was also billed at 300 dollars an hour. Let me be very clear. There was nothing wrong with the unit. My parents did not see a second thermostat. The technician then did 1200 dollars of work without consulting us. A float switch installation should not take 2 and a half hours by an expert. Three hundred dollars an hour is an expert wage. To top it off, a week or so later, our painter informed us the A/C was not working. My wife found a different company. That technician found that the float safety valve turned the unit off. The drain pan was full (good job Borden). When he purged the drain line, he found expected sludge and also PVC shavings and glue. So... Borden did a good job installing a float valve, but the shoddy workmanship contributed to a blockage. The new company charged $150 to clear the line. If I could give Borden zero stars, I would. I don't begrudge anyone trying to making a buck, but I certainly will never do business with them again.

We were very fortunate to have our heating system break down, but able to be maintained heavily…read morewhile we shopped around with time on our side for a new system. We got 4 estimates in total. In all honesty, the prices were not super far off - the recommendations, or lack of were the biggest variable between all of our proposals. This is kind of long, but like others have mentioned, the experience was so good that I wanted to make sure to take the time to give this feedback. 1. Borden was the only one who recommended a chimney liner in our new system. Which is important in the newer 84% because the temps are not as high as they used to be. But even more important in the 90% model where the water heater would be an orphaned appliance. Which is actually a pretty serious safety concern. 2. Borden was also the only one who recommended a new expansion tank and offered to cut back to the steel one if we wanted to shave a little off of the price. A number of places i looked said that the amount of new installs they see using an older tank is mind boggling. And there are numerous benefits to the new style including eliminating air, rather than just controlling it. 3. Borden was the only one to add more options ala carte, especially the outdoor reset option. I really appreciate the flexibility your proposal offers. 4. Borden was the only one who actually opened the boiler to make sure they saw it was leaking etc. Everyone else heard "new boiler", saw dollar signs and that was about it. 5. Borden was also the only owner to come out! Which i think is extra important when it's one of these big jobs where you are not only trying to get the customer set up with a good system, but start a relationship for service and maintainability in the future. Mission Accomplished. Finally, they took tons of time with me explaining how each component would be installed, and a very thoughtful and insightful explanation into why you recommend those pieces. Not at all in a pushy sales way. I'm really excited about our new system and it just so happens today is the coldest day of the year and we have invaluable peace of mind! It also looks like a work of art - the company absolutely takes pride in their craft and it shows.
