They did an excellent job at diagnosing my unit’s issue. Fair price to fix too, and they came out fast and fixed it on the spot!

***MUST READ FOR TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATER INSTALLATION*** 10/21/2020

***DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY*** When my hot water heater needed to be replaced, I called A1 American. First impression was great, on the phone, they informed me of the service fee, and the technician would contact me before his arrival. When Jeremy arrived, he determined my hot water tank needed to be replaced. I inquired about a tankless hot water heater replacement. Jeremy explained what needed to be done to convert from a tank to tankless. He was very confident and reassured me of his experience (many times). I decided to go with a Rinnai tankless water heater. He gave me two options a lower-end model without recirculation and lower gallons per minute or a higher-end one with recirculation and more gallons per minute. I chose the higher-end model RUR199i. He returned the following morning to install my system, and this is where it started to go bad..... Issues: -He said he could work around my irrigation pump, but he cut the lines and told me it was an add on to put it back. -The vent protruding outside my house looked like a hack job. Sheet metal, screws, and a 3" pipe hanging off the side of my house. Thank God I was there to object before he completed whatever he thought he was going to do. ***MOST IMPORTANT*** When the installation was complete, Jeremy and his assistant tested the water, packed up, and left (I was out to dinner for my anniversary). He texted and told me he was done. When I came home, I tested the water, and it took forever to get warm, so I started to do some research (on my anniversary, my wife was not happy). -The thermal bypass valve was NEVER installed -The thermal bypass filter was NEVER installed -The Control R module was NEVER installed -The system parameters were never set (temp/service intervals/recirculation mode/recirculation timer/GPM) The worst part is all these parts that were not installed were thrown away. AFTER convincing him it was not set up correctly by sending him ins more

Bad day in trash compactor repair 1/28/2020

I have never experienced anything as bad as I have in hiring A-1 sewer and drain. I called at 9am and was told that they would schedule the repair and get back to me. I got a return call after wasting a day at 4pm stating that their tech was running behind and that it would take place in approximately 2 hours. No call until 9:45 pm stating that they would schedule me 1st in the mourning. I got the call at 8:30am and the tech moved on to other jobs as I took a shower and was not available for the 4 second phone call. I called the office where the receptionist informs me that she must call the supervisor Ray to schedule me again with a different tech. The tech arrives at 11:30am and immediately refers to a price booklet which states for A-1 plumbing that unclogging a garbage disposal will cost $566.00. I was shocked! Then the tech tried to inform me that no one guarantees their work and provides the quality of A-1 sewer and drain. The tech then asks for my credit card and begins to ring me up for a job quoted on google that should cos: (Clog: $150 to $200. You may need to clear the pipes or plumbing further down than the sink or shower drain. Jam: $0 to $100. Try to clear it yourself by cleaning the garbage disposal.)" Wow, the tech disassembled the disposal found that it was'nt clogged and then after an hour of banter tried to upsell me to replacing the disposal for over $1100.00. Again, I was SHOCKED! I called a competitive certified plumber who informed me that the job would cost $375,99. I will also tell you that in my dissatisfaction of wasting 2 days while attempting to be rung up for huge bills, that the supervisor would not speak with me. I have called my credit card company in fear that I will be charged for an over estimated repair that never took place. The tech was not even able to reassemble the disposal he took apart! I have a pan under my sink until a real plumber can fix it for a reasonable price! If I could rate A-1 in negative stars what do you think I would do? more

Plumbing service for business 8/12/2019

Never use this company. They wanted to charge us $650.00 to change a faucet that cost $65.00. Talk about an upcharge. Called office and they clearly did not care. Good luck using this high dollar company. Truly hated to give them a star. more

John M. Was very fast and efficient and allowed me to watch him reset my toilet and replace the flange on a concrete floor. more
