They came and fixed a plumbing problem that we had but when we inspected the job they had put they stickers over all our appliances.

1.1

You cannot remove these labels without destroying the original label of the suppliers underneath who we were very happy with. This is tantamount to trespass and defacing of our private property. I would not let Benjamin Franklin or One Hour Heating within our house ever again and will recommend the same to our neighbors unless they agree not to put their advertising on our property.

User's recommendation: Do NOT USE these people without stipulating that they just fix your problem without defacing your utilities.

Swamp cooler not working at all after supposed clean up and new filters installed.

Poor customer service

2.7

I wrote a harsh review of this local business because no one was coming to inspect the problem pump instead they wanted me to buy a new one. After months of calls and conversation the manager came to check. The problem was simple and fixed quickly. The manager explained his area of calls covered more than Melbourne and Palm Bay. So he agreed to give me a heads up when he will actually be in town. Lack of communication is the general cause of many problems.

Prices are way over what they should be.

I hate being ripped off. I don't think I will use your companies again. I always feel like I'm being overcharged and I know that I am. Thinking about canceling my service plan.Call someone else.

User's recommendation: Call someone else. They are a rip off!!

Gouging price for service

1.0

I had them come out to look at a leaking disposal and I purchased one from Lowes and had it there open and waiting for them. I was at work and my Wife was home and I did not talk to them untill after they were gone. They charged us $500.00 to install our disposal and put a washer on the sink drain on the other side. One hour and fourty minutes. When I called them the girl said they charge $350.00 just to install the disposal and they charged the rest to the washer??????????????? What a rip off! I will tell as many people about them as I can and if I see them in my area again I will stop and tell the homeowners about them. Never again

User's recommendation: Do not use them.

Over charging seniors

1.0

They charged 2,135.31 for a 50 gallon water heater that cost 766.00 at Home Depot and when i ask for a receipt they said they don't give itemized receipts only the total price they sure took advantage of me because i needed hot water. I would not recommend this company to anyone especially seniors. Charles Loch.

User's recommendation: any body else but them.

Gross incompetence and usurious fees and misleading practices

1.0

I called Benjamin Franklin to inspect a leak. First eyeball was to recommend new hot water heater which would require multiple hundred dollar monthly payments. I rejected that proposition and he inspected the pipe and found a pin hole with a fixed repair cost of $400. I agreed to repair and in less time than for me to shut off all the faucets (under 10 minutes) he cut out bad pipe and replaced with a section of new plpe. I signed receipt with 2yr warranty on "our pipe" with no mention of our work product. Less than 3 days later my wife noticed wet spots and I called Benjamin Franklin to return because I noticed a 2nd pin hole on the same length of pipe but several inches beyond cut out. The same plumber came back and I was told that there was no warranty and I would have to pay again for the worker that either missed because of competency or deliberately to price gouge. I have used Benjamin Franklin because they gave me a magnet with their tel number to call but because of my age I do not recall the dissatisfaction of the 2 other encounters which involved gross over charges and costs of parts for kitchen faucet.

User's recommendation: I will only mention them to my least favored friends and those with bottomless wealth.

They rush their jobs and make mistakes. After their last visits, they left my furnace running 24/7. We found out several weeks later after we came back from a vacation. We tried to contact them but they would not even return our calls. They are very expensive and unreliable.

Run away... worst quality and most expensive Plumber...

1.8

I am an absentee landlord, took advantage of the situation, charged me $600.00 for a minor repair on a bathroom sink. When we took a look at what they did, they used substandard materials. My husband did a similar repair on another sink. It took him 30 minutes and $35.00 on much higher quality materials from Home depot. They wanted to charge us $1,000 to install a toilet. They should be out of business.
