We are attuned to the expectations of our local celebrity clients and coordinate with personal assistants to guarantee discretion from our team.

For more than 25 years, Thrifty Plumbing and Heating Inc. has served the mountain communities as a reliable plumbing and heating service. We are a state-licensed General Engineering Contractor (A) and also have licenses for Plumbing (C-36), Heating (C-20), and Sanitation or Septic Systems (C-42). Lic. 504977. Look at our license number in comparison to others to assess experience; a lower number reflects a longer duration in the field.

It all started with a little boy who was intrigued by how things operated and had a knack for mechanics. His mother frequently discovered toasters and other gadgets taken apart in their home. Fast forward twenty years, David began working at a leading plumbing company in Orange County, where he maintained their vehicles and equipment. David excelled in this position and progressed through the ranks, gaining training in every aspect of the plumbing industry. In 1986, David ventured out independently, securing his Plumbing Contractor's License. Over the years, he has perfected his craft and has been asked by the State Contractors License Board to help train other contractors. David has also played a role in establishing standards for Sanitation System Inspections at the request of the County Health Department. David Rupp and Thrifty Plumbing and Heating enjoy a strong reputation in the community for their knowledge and excellent service.

We had a major 40 cubic feet leak from the main to the house. The job was huge, but Justin took care of it like a pro! We had no water and a lock on our meter. Time was of the essence, and Justin made us top priority. Thank you again to Thrifty and their great employees, including our neighbor Paul! You guys rock!

You probably read a lot of reviews that praise individuals and you might think its overrated, fake, or embellished but let me reassure you when you read something about JUSTIN, it's all true. Came up to our cabin for a wonderful snow/ski trip and my heater wouldn't turn on. As I was panicking because I planned a house full of people, Justin came to the rescue. Was able to asses, correct, and get my heater working within hours. He took the time to explain why it broke, and what to do to prevent future repairs. Justin is authentic, honest, and a pleasure. Call Thrifty for your mountain needs. You wont be sorry.

Justin is an amazing plumber with a depth of knowledge. He has been out to my house twice and both times he got the work done fast and prompt. He was able to explain something to me in a way I could understand going forward.

By far the most capable and the most trustworthy plumber on the mountain! Justin gets the job done and gets it done right. He has a professional, no-nonsense approach to his work, which is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise polluted and morally bankrupt plumbing community here on the mountain.

Have you met Justin? If you haven't then you are missing out on some excellent service, a wealth of knowledge and experience, professional and pleasant customer service, and one of the cleanest plumbers I have ever met. You want a clean plumber. Further, Justin responds quickly and takes incredible pride in his work. Clearly, he has garnered himself quite the fan club in the mountain plumbing industry and it is well deserved.

We hail you, sir! You have become a representative of true customer service and professionalism for this mountain community and we thank you.

In Crestline and selling our home. As always some issues will pop up and Thrifty Plumbing worked with us and our schedule to make sure the work was done properly, documented properly and exact quotes were given. Justin came out, gave us our quotes, we contacted the realtors involved and got the agreement on work to be done. Justin came back and did the work, ALL before anyone else would even schedule an appointment. WOW. Great prices on top of great service. The realtors up here would do well to advise their clients that one call to Thrifty will yield satisfaction and they simply keep their word.
