Essig Plumbing & Heating

Our air conditioner wasn't working so we called them. I saw a tv ad and what they said is exactly a business I want to align with. Honest, won't gouge. Well . . Don't believe their ad. They are exactly the opposite. They came out quickly (for $175). The tech wasn't there to diagnose. He didnt even take the cover off. He quickly told my husband we needed a new air conditioner and a new heater. My smart, mechanically inclined non HVAC husband could actually hear things that the young salesman blew off. He was clearly there to sell. We moved on to another local business. An honest one. While we may need to replace our air conditioner the other company actually diagnosed the issue and agreed with my husband where the issue is and said ""no way do you need a new furnace"". Well Essig, you may have raked us over for $175, but you lost more in a sale and reputation. We know lots of people. . .

First Essig plumber ""repaired"" a loose toilet. A month later the problem returned. Second Essig plumber ""repaired"" it again. No refund for the first failed repair, and very, very expensive.

Years ago Essig was a reliable and trustworthy plumbing company. No longer. Go elsewhere for your plumbing needs.

I've used Essig several times already in the past we always ask for the same technician he always did great work but this time they sent someone different so I figured ok if he's as good as Phil were golden well not this time I always come home from work and look at there work cause I'm always impressed by the quality of there work I had them come out to fix my tub faucet and drain and replace my outside faucet when he fixed my tub faucet he broke the cover and instead of saying something he filled it in with silicone and never replaced the outside faucet I'll still use Essig as long as it's Phil assuming he still works there

We contacted them for emergency water heater replacement at 9:00am. I was quoted around $1200 on the high end for replacement and $189 for SATURDAY service call. We were OK with that. Repair person was running behind and asked about doing repairs on Monday...OK no big deal. He asked which water heater we wanted and told him nothing special but something with decent warranty.....his response $2500 and best price was $2000 without warranty. So since this is robbery they pretty much blew our chance of having the work done by another company that day because it was now 5:00. I believe this is a common scam tactic and I feel very bad for the elderly people who are abused by companies like this. We have another company coming Monday and it's $1150 for 10 year warranty 50 gallon tank. STAY away...you will be played with and ripped off! ESSIG should be ashamed!

Great service! Our tech Mike W. did a fantastic job; he was prompt, courteous, professional, and fixed our AC with minimal hassle to me. He also took the time to explain what was going on w the unit - it could've been a very expense repair but ended up just a clogged drain pipe (no upselling here except it did cost more than I would've expected for a pipe clearing-$99 for tech visit and $140 for the pipe clearing). I did a Google search for AC repair and came across Essig. I called on a Friday, unfortunately they couldn't come out that day and I decided to not go with an emergency repair so I made an appointment for Monday. I got a call later in the day and, since we are in the midst of a heat wave, the company asked if I wanted a tech out on Saturday and they wouldn't charge me the extra emergency fee. HOORAY! Talk about customer service. I have to say that I was impressed and will call them for future work but would compare prices beforehand.

Don't let these idiots near your heating system. My furnace did not work properly; when they were done nutsing with it I spent several hundred dollars and it did not work at all. Said they'd be back next week to charge me even more! They do a good job with plumbing but don't know s@&t about heating systems!

Their emergency service techincian told me my heater was shot and they would send the ""estimator"" to sell me a new heater. My old repair man, the next day, easily fixed it and it's running great . I don't need a new heater and would have bought a new one that I really did not need.

Called them today to ask about helping with my broken A/C. They told me $189.00 just to come out and LOOK at it and then pay for service and parts. Total Joke! I called a local company in Birdsboro. Came out at 7pm on a FRIDAY Night. Not a penny to look at it and it cost me just $3 (THREE) dollars more than the ESSIG ""look at it"" price. Fixed and running in under an hour. Don't waste your money with bigger companies, go with the small local guys. they appreciate your business more. Oh the name of that local company? Al Boughter Heating and A/C located in Birdsboro.

I recently purchased a new house. Two months after being in the house my water pressure dropped drastically. It is on a mountain and I have a well so I was a little concerned that maybe it was the pump. Please keep in mind I have no idea what I am doing. My wife called the plumber to come look at the set up and figure it out. The plumber that came out from Essig said that since everything was 15 years old it should probably all be replaced. The total was a little over $12,000. Instead of going for the $12,000 option since we need a quick fix and family was coming in from out of town we went with a $541 quick fix. After contacting the previous owners of the home they said that the water filter gets very dirty very fast and needs to be replaced every single month. I replaced a $17 fucking water filter and everything works fine. I am really glad that I did not give you motherfuckers $12,000 to replace everything like you suggested to my wife. It's people like you that don't fucking try at life that fucking suck. I fucking hate you you fucking suck. If you wonder who writes his review google my fucking name if you have issues come and fucking see me I want my $500 back.

Will not call them again. They told me they could not put freon in an AC without doing a $179 leak test. Not what I heard from 2 competitors I reached out to. I hear they are famous for upselling and by the reviews I am reading that is obvious.
