Applewood Plumbing & Heating

We had our roof replaced and, in that process, our attic fan was damaged and replaced with a solar powered one. It never worked and the Roofing Contractor sent Mike Taglialavore from Applewood Plumbing & Heating. He asked a few questions and understood my concerns. While fixing the attic fan, he discovered a potentially dangerous situation. The wire from the damaged fan was hanging from the roof, still live !! He capped the wire and put it in a junction box, situation DONE !! Everything is running like it should be. \r Thank You Mike ! Pros: Mike Taglialavore was very profession and knowledgeable. Cons: N/A more

I needed a basic AC Tune-up and cleaning service done since I'd neglected to do so for the past 5 years. I called around to several local companies and decided on Applewood - I'm glad I did. They were willing to work with my schedule and got me an appointment the same week even though this was not an emergency issue. Other companies were telling me about 2 weeks out. In addition I saw an online Tom Martino video specifically about AC tuneups and the extensive checklist they go through. They were running a special so the price was great.\r \r Without a doubt, the best service call I have ever experienced. They called within an hour of the technician getting here to let me know he would arrive soon. Then asked if I would like an email with the picture and certifications. I said absolutely. Within seconds I was reading an impressive list of qualifications and seeing the picture of the person who would be doing the work. He arrived in the planned time window and got right to work. Extremely professional and he did an excellent job. When everything was finished he went over everything he had done and showed me on a written checklist and answered all the questions I had. \r \r I have had many service techs out to my house over the years for various reasons and I can without a doubt say Applewood gave me the best impression and customer service. They went beyond what was necessary and I will be doing business with them in the future. I'm running the AC right now and it's working great!\r Pros: Timely, Friendly, Professional, Excellent Work more

Applewood was very prompt and thorough. They called an hour ahead to indicate they would e-mail a photo and credentials of the technician who would be coming to our home. We had both the AC and Furnace inspected and a maintenance check. Art, the technician was very thorough and provided advice and information. We had questions about the whole-house humidifier and got specific detailed information. The technician made recommendations without a ""hard-sell"". \r \r Received a follow up phone call to ensure all questions had been satisactorily answered. Pros: called ahead to confirm, called after for feedback more

They must be hiring people to write some of these reviews...\r I needed to have a shower faucet replaced in a renovated bathroom we were doing. The valve was exposed (no walls) so it was easy access to replace. I know enough about plumbing that this is a one to two hour job at the most. We sat down to get the quote and almost had a heart attack. I almost laughed in his face. I actually told him how ridiculous his price was… 1,100 dollars. I ask him if he was crazy that he was charging 500 plus an hr to replace a simple shower fixture. Called a local plumber in Parker, came out the next morning and did the whole thing in an hour and charged me 150 bucks. The real thing I am pizzed about is the 39$ service fee I had to pay to get some out of the world quote…..Don’t waste your money Pros: showed up early Cons: 39$ service fee to get ripped off more

I called the Applewood plumbing & heating after being told by excel energy that my ""no heat"" problem was not something they could fix. I called Applewood to see if a technician could come out, thinking that the $99 dollar service fee would be nothing compared to being warm. \r BOY WAS I WRONG!! the on call customer service representative who answered the phone must have forgotten who she worked for or why someone would be calling at this time of night (WE'RE COLD), then when I DID receive a call from the on call technician, he informed me that he ran out of invoices and it would be a $99 service charge ( I KNEW THAT), and that I would basically need to wait until the hours of 6-7 am on Thursday morning. I went on line and seen RAVE reviews and decided.... I'll call back and maybe someone else is working and will come get me some heat in my home.... The SAME woman answered telling me that the guy was the ONLY technician working and whatever he said was what I needed to do. DID I MOVE TO THE WRONG ZIP CODE? IS THERE BAD RELATIONSHIPS WITH APPLEWOOD AND THIS AREA? WILL I EVER EXPERIENCE GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MONTBELLO? Cons: UNWILLING TO HELP, RUDE more

After the hail storm in July 2009, I hired a local roofing company to fix my roof. The roof was completed in April 2010. After one of the cold spells we had in April, I tried to turn on my furnace but it would not come on. I called Applewood to come and look at the furnace. After the Applewood tech looked at my furnace he noticed that the back pressure sensor in the exhaust vent was tripped and that is what caused it to shut off. The Applewood tech climbed on the roof and discovered that the roofers had completely closed the vent for the furnace exhaust, causing the back pressure switch to shut off. This could have been a deadly situation from the Carbon Monoxide being produced by my water heater being trapped by the closed vent on the roof. (The furnace and the water heater use the same vent.) The Applewood Tech fixed the vent and quite possibly adverted a catastrophe in my home from Carbon Monoxide poisoning. THANK YOU! Pros: Professional more

I had great service from Applewood Plumbing. I had a clogged pipe connected to my washer. Levi was very helpful in explaing why the pipe continued to back up and what was necessary in repairing it. Levi did a great job repairing the pipe and I now can do laundry without the worry of water backing up and making a mess of my house. I will definitely use Applewood again for plumbing needs. Pros: Friendly service, timely despite the required work more

April 26, 2010\r \r \r \r Applewood Plumbing Heating & Electric\r 5000 W 29TH Avenue\r Denver, CO 80212-9802\r \r Re: David Bright\r Master Plumber\r \r Dear Applewood:\r \r I seldom take the opportunity to compliment and provide feedback for service representatives; however, in the case of David Bright I would be negligent if I did not do so. \r \r David is a very professional and personable representative for Applewood. He not only addressed our needs for our service call, he went the extra mile to suggest methods for ongoing maintenance and preventative care. Although there were items that I have little doubt that most plumbers would have repaired without a second thought, David provided alternative actions that we could take that resulted in no repairs and zero expense for the service that Applewood provided on this date.\r \r Your policy of not charging a service call fee is refreshing and sends a message for intent to do the right thing for the customer. You completely complete the service circle with a service representative such as David Bright.\r \r Thank you very much and rest assured that we will be an ongoing loyal customer and will welcome the opportunity to refer Applewood.\r \r Sincerely,\r \r \r \r Thomas M. Green\r Pros: Overall Professionalism more

I asked Applewood for an estimate to run 5 feet of gas line. The service tech did a site survey, went to his truck and returned with a $14k estimate. Stunned to say the least. His assessment was the entire line needed replacing with some new TracPiping. Even replacing all the lines with new Black Pipe would only result in 40 feet of pipe to remove and replace. ARE YOU SERIOUS? Does Applewood take everyone for a fool? Not cool at all. Ended up using another plumbing service and spending under $1000 to have all the piping replaced. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY> BANDITS would be a nice word for them. Cons: EXPENSIVE - TO THE POINT OF ABSURD more

Our 22 year old furnace began making some noise on a recent Saturday. Remembering seeing orange Applewood trucks in the past, I checked them out on the BBB website and decided to give them a call. A gentleman named Chris took my call and scheduled me for the following morning (a Sunday and no additional weekend service charge). Sunday morning Chris called to say the tech was on his way and that he would be happy to e-mail me his picture and qualification. Marty arrived right on time. After putting on his plastic shoe covers to protect our floors he quickly assessed the problem and had it corrected in short order.\r It doesn't seem often enough that you find truly professional service people; that take pride in their work; do what is necessary and don't try to sell you unnecessary services.\r I will not hesitate to recommend Applewood to anyone in need of their services. It feels great to be treated with respect! Pros: On time, professional, no up sale, courteous, respectful. more

When my Lady and I moved from California 9 years ago, we had a lot of trouble connecting with honest businesses, in fact we got ripped off on our central air conditioner by a fly-by-night plumbing company.\r Finally, we hooked up with Applewood Plumbing and we just ain't going any place else. The folks at Applewood have treated us with respect, honesty and the finest of service.\r These folks are top drawer and my Lady and I recommend them HIGHLY!!\r James and Veronica French Pros: The best! Cons: No drawbacks! more

I thought I had one relatively simple plumbing problem, but unfortunately there were a number of things that needed to be fixed. I appreciated that they stayed and did all the work the same day instead of having to schedule the work for another day. I was especially happy with the plumber, Greg. He was extremely polite and worked about 9 hours virtually non-stop. I needed a number of different parts and if Greg didn't have all of them in his truck, someone else delivered them so the work could be completed timely and very efficiently. more

After recently breaking her hip, my mother-in-law moved to a senior living center and put her 3 bedroom town home up for sale. Her townhome was under contract very quickly and an inspection was scheduled. The inspector looked at her 35 year old boiler system and said that it needed cleaning and adjusting. My mother-in-law had always used a nationally affiliated company to service her furnace and we called them and set up an appointment. My wife met the “tech” that came out at the town home. After a couple of minutes in the furnace closet, he told my wife he needed to show her something. Flames were rolling out of the boiler unit and the pressure on the expansion chamber was too high. He told her the entire unit needed to be replaced, that the furnace was unsafe to leave on and he shut it off. Cost of replacement after negotiation, $ 7500.\r \r We didn’t feel comfortable spending $ 7500, almost 10% of the cost of the home for a replacement unit. Thankfully we chose to call Applewood Plumbing and Heating, partly because of their local reputation and partly because they were open early. My 6 AM phone call resulted in an 8 AM appointment. Their technician was on time, cleanly dressed and very courteous. Initially he was concerned about the cold reading on the expansion tank, but went ahead and re-ignited the pilot light. The flames came leaping out again and he realized the gas valve was open all the way. After adjusting the valve, the flame burned normally. He shook his head and said “oldest trick in the book”. It turned out that the cold water pressure on the expansion chamber also returned to a normal range after adjustment. The unit came up to operating temperature and worked perfectly. Total cost of the service call, less than $ 200. Relief at not having to go through the cost of replacement and finding an honest company, priceless.\r Pros: Honest, knowldegeable, reliable more

From the initial response I received by phone on a Sunday afternoon after I emailed my request for a plumber throughout the visit from a courteous and knowledgable plumber the following day I have never experienced such a smooth & easy experience. I was most pleased with his positive attitude and desire to get the job done correctly. They also offered additional free services at the same time which was very nice. I highly recommend Applewood for any type of service they offer.\r \r Michael Pros: Applewood is the most professional / courteous company Cons: Nothing more

Applewood Plumbing arrived at our home to fix a water leak within three hours of my phone call. The scheduler was responsive and the technician called on his way and arrived on time. Our technician, John Murphey, diagnosed the problem immediately and handled the repair in a friendly and professional way. It was great to have a service company exeed my expectations. \r \r Jay Brenneman Pros: Responsive service and quick diagnosis of a leak more

My wife and I just moved to the Denver area from out of state. We recently bought a foreclosure, which was completely trashed. \r \r The only appliances that were left behind were the dishwasher, washer and dryer. Once we moved in we decided to do some laundry and come to find out the cold water connection to the washer was spewing out gallons of water. \r \r I called Applewood, based on a family recommendation and they were able to set up an appointment for us the next day. \r \r Greg was the technician who came out to the house. He explained how Applewood srevice works and then was able to diagnose the problem with the cold water valve. He replaced both the hot and cold water valves and hooked our washer up as if it were brand new!\r \r It has been great to do a load of laundry without water spewing all over!\r \r Thanks Applewood! Pros: Expediant and thorough service! more

We had recently moved in to our home and the boiler in our home heating system was not working properly and I wasn't sure who to call. The previous owner had given us a file of home repairs and warranties and I found receipts for maintance on the boiler by Applewood Plumbing and Heating so I called. Julie took my call and sold me. She assured me that they had very experienced technicians who were very familiar with boiler systems and that they would come out and check it out. Dave came out and looked the whole system over and told me that there was some parts that needed to be replaced to get it working but that over all it was in good condition. The boiler is working fine now but we will need to have a few more parts replaced over the next year or so to keep it in top working order. The repairs that we needed were done and not anything extra. Dave went over with me the things that will need to be replaced in the future and about how much they will cost and about when they will need to be done. He also explained how my boiler sytems works and I now know how to tell if it is working properly, how to maintain it, and what will need to be done in the future. Thanks Dave and Applewood. Pros: Very knowledgable and professional Cons: None yet more

Mike G. came over to do an inspection on our electrical system throughout the home. He was very friendly and knew exactly what to look for. He pointed out certain things that we needed to fix and made the proper recommendations. There was no pressure in making a sale or providing services that were needed. We purchased a CO2 monitor that we needed and it was installed right away. Great Job Mike! Pros: Great Job more

We had our heat go out late on a Thursday night when we were leaving town the next day. I was concerned about getting someone out so early the next morning. We called Applewood in the am and they had someone there within an hour. The technician was very pleasant and respectful. He wore booties the entire time he was in our home. He was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We felt as if he gave us a fair assessment of the damages and a fair price and did not try to upsell us on anything but what we needed. The service was complete within an hour and he was on his way! They give great coupons and referral discounts as well. I would always recommend Applewood to my friends and family. In fact I would insist on it! Pros: highly available more
