Recommended Customer Reviews

I've been dealing with Burkell Plumbing for over 30 years. Expertise, efficiency, make an effort to minimize the cost of repairs. Honest local company.

Came right away, replaced the thermostat, restored heat to the house. When the unit they installed turned out to be defective they came out the next day to replace it, no questions asked. Would definitely use them again.

Burkell is the best! I have used them for the past 25 years. They are always prompt, friendly and get the job done. Many years ago my father was trying to put a new shower hand held attachment in one of the bathrooms and accidentally drilled into the water pipe which had water leaking from the lights in the kitchen below. Burkell came and saved the day!!

So helpful! Prompt and knowledgeable. He had an answer to help with the repairs and said he would find out about one part that he wasn't sure if it could be replaced.
Support office staff are very efficient.
I definitely recommend Burkell Plumbing!
Thank you,
Pam

I had a water heater put in. That little closet now looks like a work of art. The attention to detail is superior, and the water heater is so much more efficient than the old one. Who knew?
First class work. Mark is THE BEST.

We had 2 issues, disposal and bathroom sink problem. Jeff gave us an estimate and then was prepared to fix both immediately. We were very pleased.

My experience was good with Burkell. The heater stopped working in a cold morning. The technician showed up 5 minutes after I called. His troubleshooting was very fast and honest. There was wiring problem with the thermostat. I will use their service again.

Well, I think I'm just another homeowner who got ""had"" by Burkells. I really wish I had read these reviews first before calling them. Just read several homeowner's 1 star reviews and that pretty much describes what I went through: bad service, rude and misleading dispatcher, over charges for work (after surprising you with a high bill with no forewarning at all about the hourly rate prior to performing so called ""work"", the tech was very defensive when challenged how long he was actually in my house and made me very uncomfortable), that does not fix the problem, when you call back to discuss, the curt dispatch lady just cuts you off and transfers you to the ""owner's"" voicemail who never calls back. It's their way of ""throwing away"" dissatisfied customers. Based on my and the other customers' experience, it sure seems that as long as you're a not-so-savvy homeowner, you're perfect prey for them. They'll take you for what they can and then dump your calls/complaints into the black hole AKA owner's voicemail. With so many similar horrible experiences, I might just call the Better Business Bureau to have them look into their shady business practices.

The furnace decides to quit late afternoon the day before Thanksgiving. Call a couple of contractors both that afternoon and on Friday. Not surprisingly, no return calls. Monday we include Burkell in our outreach. They answer the phone! Technician arrives that day within the scheduled block of time, problem diagnosed, part ordered. It arrives Tuesday and is installed on Wednesday. The technician was a very pleasant, professional fellow. Overall, a very positive experience.
