    Our main sewer line backed up so we called Roto Rooter. They responded late at night and resolved the issue. The technician was friendly and seemed knowledgeable. Very grateful for this service, particularly on the eve of a major winter storm. The price of $415 to open the drain line was fair. I would have gladly paid more for the technician to have a helper. The helper might have helped him carry in the equipment so they could park on the street, rather than in my driveway resulting in their van trenching up my neighbors yard just beyond my drive. The helper might have helped him carry the sewer machine through my yard, rather than laying deep trenches in the wet dirt that used to be my grass. With a helper assisting, maybe the technician would not have rolled a muddy mess into my basement, leaving mud clods across the floor. Maybe I would not have had to spend an hour from 1-2 AM cleaning up mud and dirt in my basement. Mud not from the drain, but off the wheels of the sewer machine, tracked in by Roto Rooter's technician. A helper might have helped to make this overall experience positive and for that I would have gladly paid more. Instead I am left between relieved that the sewer issue is resolved and utterly disgusted by the mess Roto Rooter left behind. Next time I will call someone else. Hopefully a company I can pay more for better customer service. 2/13/2022 update. The technician broke the sewer lid cap and covered the port with a temporary piece of rubber and a metal strap. He said he would come back with a new cap but never did. Ten days later, I discovered wet carpet in the basement bedroom in the other side of the wall by the sewer main. I had the great pleasure of cutting out padding, treating the carpet back, buying and installing a sewer lid cap, and drying the impacted area. Thanks a bunch Roto Rooter for making a bad customer service experience even worse than I realized.

    First hole that the tech did himself

    Had them out to remove a water softener and some basic pipe alterations. They did a great job! Highly recommend.

Customer service was absolutely fantastic and Tyler W. was accommodating and gave us clear explanations as to what was wrong. We received a text message with a picture of the employees so we knew who to expect and what they looked like. Arlinghaus has to send another worker out to discuss prices on a new furnace. Tyler was able to get our furnace working temporarily as we look into buying a new furnace. It cost $89 for him to come out and diagnose the problem. They will remove this from any extra work they may need to do. Unfortunately, in the end we could not afford even the lowest option they had for a furnace. They use a top furnace line brand and are more expensive then the national average. This was the only draw back for me that it was to expensive and I did not want to enter into a loan for a $7,000 furnace when the average homeowners pay is $3100. Regardless, they were transparent and did not pressure me into anything we didn't want to do. I highly recommend Arlinghaus for their professionalism and honesty with their customers.

My system was running well and did not need any service, when the Technician left, my system was not operating the same as when he started, My Central Air was not cooling my house and the system blower sounded different. I have lived in my house long enough to know how it sounds and feels, The person who worked on my system created the problem in order to create a service call and an unnecessary bill for a problem that he inserted. This is not the way to maintain customers or good reviews. If your service is not broken, the service person should not be out generating revenue. I was very concerned when he was measuring the amount of Freon as I heard a loud hiss as the vapors were being released. BTW, the same service person bypassed a safety cut-off device in my furnace last winter and, I had to buy the electrical device and reinstall it for the safety of my home. I am very dissatisfied with their procedures.

    I was charge $1400 to have my sump pump replaced (a 20 min job). When the technician was at my…read morehouse he mentioned the total charge as I had not received a quote from the company. I commented that $1400 seemed pretty high. He pulled up the cost of the sump pump on his device. The sump pump the technician installed was $350. He said that if I provided my own pump I would be charged $600 to have them come out and install it. So, my question was, what are the additional $450 for? I am ok paying it, if I know what I'm paying for, but the information from the technician just wasn't adding up to the full charge. I reached out to Five Star to ask for an invoice. It came with a one line summary of the total cost of the work. I asked if they could please send an itemized invoice and explained the reasons I just mentioned above. After a bit of insisting, they forwarded my request to the manager. This was his response: ---- Hi Veronica My name is Garrett and I am reaching out to you regarding a sump pump we did for you on Sunday. I understand there was some confusion about the charges, I am here to help! So as far as a full breakdown goes, We pay around $350 -$400 for the sump pumps, and labor comes in right around $600. The remainder of the charge goes towards our 1 year workmanship warranty, administrative tasks such as tracking, scheduling and being a support system here for you if anything were to happen with it. We stand behind our work 100%. All of our pricing is flat rate, so breaking it down can be challenging in the sense of the charge does not change if we ended up taking longer to install the pump for you. We do it this way for the customer experience, as some plumbing companies do charge per half hour or hour, and can exploit the consumer by 'taking their time' so to speak to run up the bill. We always try to be transparent with our pricing, and just know that we are here to stand behind the workmanship and product we installed for you. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Best, Garrett Sowers Customer Relations Specialist Five Star Home Services (614) 245-3954 garrett.sowers@fivestargroup.com ---- My response to his: You charge $400 for a one-year workmanship warranty??? That is literally the cost of a brand new pump!! I'm not sure how that doesn't sound ridiculous to you! I also pay the $40 monthly "membership" but there doesn't seem to be much benefit in that either. It just seems unusual that a company refuses to provide an itemized invoice for work performed. I am sure that if you had work done by anyone, you would hope to be able to see what you are being charged for. I need my heating and air unit replaced but I am very glad I had the sump pump experience first. There is absolutely no way I will have Five Star do any other work for me, especially not a high dollar repair! I will find another company that is honest and isn't so hesitant, or flat out refuse, to provide an itemized invoice. It's just a disappointment.
