Archibald Plumbing

Susan ..

The gas valve control assembly on my 2 1/2 year old water heater went out. Mike at Archibald Plumbing came highly recommended by Bradford White and a plumbing company in my area. I called him this morning and he came out, replaced the part and had me up and running in no time. He replaced the part like he could do it with his eyes closed!! His prices are reasonable and he's extremely honest! As far as I'm concerned, I have a plumber for life! I hope he never retires!!!

After moving to Vista we needed some plumbing done. Our neighbor recommended Michael Archibald. She has used Archibald Plumbing for more than 40 years and has always been very pleased with the work.
When we first consulted Michael we were very impressed by how easy it was get hold of him, either by phone or text. He was very responsive to our questions and needs, and always explained very well any repairs that need to be done. He or a member of his staff fixed any issues expeditiously. We highly recommend Mr. Michael Archibald and give him a 5-star review because he deserves it.

It is without hesitation that I write a review for Archibald plumbing. While out of the country I found out that my water heated quit working. On flight back I began looking at YELP reviews for a plumber to replace my water heater. Although there are several with good reviews I chose Archibald for three reasons. First was their prompt response to my text, second was that I was quoted a very fair reasonable set price with no potential add-ons, and third they were able to schedule me on the day I returned. Needless to say they achieved all my expectations. They communicated with me regarding time of arrival, did job with no added costs, and finished the job on day started. All code requirements were performed and job area was left just as they started it. I'm extremely pleased. Regarding the price quoted they fell within the range of purchase and replacement of water heaters in California and were lower than another quote given to me by text stating their price was just an estimated price.

Woke up to cold water only on a Friday morning with the prospect of a no-washing weekend (no baths, no showers. no laundry, no dishwasher). I started researching on Yelp, but I couldn't locate a plumber who could do it that afternoon until I got a referral from one of the calls I made. I texted Archibald Plumbing, and, within a few minutes, Mike responded. Within two hours, Mike was at our home
and the problem was solved.

I called and spoke with Mike the owner. He was very helpful and invited any questions that I had for him regarding repairing the water heater. He knew exactly what I was doing. He even came recommended from the water heater company and to top it all off, he was less than half of what my old plumber was charging.

Mike came in and was done in 30mins and I am very satisfied with his work. I will be sending him many referrals!!

Thanks Mike!!

Michael was quick to respond and was able to get the water heater in my rental unit back up and running quickly. He also handled getting new parts for my Bradford White water heater under warranty. Great service and quality work at a fair price.

We had a crack on our main water line at the the end of of our backflow at the 90°brass elbow and the schedule 40 reducer to the main line. We contacted Archibald Plumbing and immediately received text messages from Michael the owner requesting to see pictures. Once Michael received the pictures he called me to discuss our options. Due to the weather (rain) and the holiday Michael was not able to come out until the following day.

When Michael arrived he immediately reevaluated the situation and made additional recommendations. Michael went straight to work and quickly repaired the pipe using schedule 80 PVC and extending the length of the brass fitting for a smoother transition. He also reinforced the riser to the backflow with a post and bracket.

A O Smith water heater went out on Christmas Eve, eve. Called SDGE who came first thing Sat and could not light. Since I was still under parts only warranty, I waited until Mon and called A O Smith who gave 3 SD County companies that were authorized to do warranty work. Archibald had great ratings here so the next day I texted Mike the owner. In 15 mins he called back, came over, cleaned out the tube to pilot and I have hot water! He was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Will call again. I have had many plumber experiences and in this case you get what you pay for. Thanks Mike for saving me!

I reached out to this company by searching for near by plumbers. I needed a gas control valve/ thermostat to be replaced for my water heater. The owner Mike spend some time over the phone, Asked me all the right questions and guided me to do few things and it just worked out. He not only saved me money, more importantly saved me the hassle of arranging time to meet up with my super busy schedule at work. the next day I reached out to him to thank him and I offered to pay for his expedites and he politely turned down. I was very impressed and touched by his manner. It is hard to find a good and honest plumbers these days and he definitely earned my trust. Way to go Mike. I will refer you to anybody needs plumbing. Thank you very much.

Mike & the team at Archibald Plumbing are so helpful. I've used their service a few times. Today my AC went out and I sent him a text. Though he doesn't repair AC units, he responded within a few minutes, gave me advice and I was able to get the AC working. Excellent customer service.
