We have had a service contract with Wheat and Sons since 2017, and have reached the end of our rope. The technicians have seemed to be professional and seem to be knowledgeable, but two things: 1. Several times right after service, there have been problems -- caused by the techs. For instance, yesterday, the technician left the power off on our outside HVAC unit. This was after I found out there was no cool air coming to our bedroom, a day later.

I was able to find some information on line, and checked the control box and found that the switch had been left off. Fortunately for me, this was obvious. Other times, the thermostats would not work, etc. and we had to call again and have someone come out and correct the issue(s). This has happened repeatedly and we are done. 2. Be prepared for the upsell. I suspect the techs get commissions, or bonus points for add-ons. Yesterday's was some sort of surge protector and a compression unit that "is getting old, and may fail." This was to add another $575 to our service trip.

We've used James A Wheat & Sons for over 15 years for both our plumbing as well as our heat/AC needs. The technicians are consistently knowledgeable, professional and good communicators. Their annual memberships make a lot of sense and are ultimately cost effective when it comes time for repair or replacement. I recommend this company highly.

Jose' did an excellent job on the sink and plumbing. He explained everything with precise detail and took great care in his work. He almost cleaned up the entire floor when he got done. Jose' deserves a bonus & raise! Great job. He's excellent & very well mannered. We definitely would ask for Jose' for any future jobs and we highly recommend James A. Wheat & Sons for all of your plumbing needs!

They are very expensive. We were pleased with our first plumbing project they repaired, but the price seemed a bit high. So, for our next plumbing issue - replacing our water heater - we shopped around. We got prices from other companies ranging between $2400 to $ 3200 whereas James Wheat was about $5900. We saved a lot of money which we used for our third plumbing project.

I chose them over another plumbing company even if they charged $900 more. When the estimate was done Tyler and team were very professional and I appreciate that they followed infection control precautions including wearing shoe covers. During installation the team who worked on the submeter was Cody's team. They did a good job however I found out later that they left a dent on the top portion of my laundry washer.

It appeared as if a heavy tool was dropped on top of it. I called and the Office Manager told me she will investigate and that I will have a response the next day. Over two weeks have passed and I have not heard anything. I was not asking for a new dryer. It would have been as simple as acknowledging that the dent was caused by their crew. Or better send someone to fix it? I know things like this happen - I am not sure if I will recommend them to others after this experience. BUT.

Just to update this review - the laundry washer's dented top was finally replaced with a new one. Vince did a great job. So overall, they technicians were awesome - just remember to be careful moving forward!

Great service from Tyler, Andres, Peter, and Roberto. Installed a new Daikin heat pump at my row house. Friendly, knowledgeable, skilled, and a good value to boot! Love the heat pump, too. Services: Thermostat installation, Heating system installation, Install AC
