Reviews of local pros in Haledon, New Jersey

These people are untrustworthy. During a recent storm, we called their service for an assessment, and they quoted $95 for the visit. A young technician arrived and supposedly assessed our sump pump issue but ended up replacing it with a new one after only 30 minutes. The total cost came out to be $3,300, which included $550 for emergency service, $1,000 for the sump pump itself, and $1655 for labor. He never discussed the installation details with me or asked if I was comfortable with the new pump at that price.
When I expressed my dissatisfaction, he offered a reduced price of $2550 but still insisted on charging me for the removal of the old sump pump. After multiple requests to speak with his manager, he refused and didn't provide any information about the sump pump's specifications or type. The company didn't return my calls. I'm relieved that my complaints have saved me $1350, but I'm still being ripped off.
What's worse is that they seem to target affluent neighborhoods by quoting high prices initially and then lowering it after some negotiation. They lack integrity, which is unfortunate for the young technicians who are likely pressured into making sales without considering their customers' needs. The worst part is that my sump pump wasn't even broken – the reservoir wasn't filling with water because of unrelated basement flooding due to heavy rainfall.
I'm left feeling frustrated and disappointed in the entire experience. -
Prompt service at a reasonable price, with staff who are genuinely helpful. Replaced our old heating system with a newer, more efficient one – noticeable improvements so far.

They did a great job, it was quick and well done. Given our heating wasn't working that night, they were considerate and offered to fix it ASAP. The technician was polite and even gave me a discount as a gesture of goodwill. Overall, I'd highly recommend Rescue Plumbing & HVAC to anyone.

I had the chance to work with Mike from Rescue Plumbing & HVAC, and he really knocked it out of the park. His professionalism and expertise were top-notch - they completely overhauled my house's drainage system without any hiccups. The planning was spot on, especially since we have kids - I never worried about using the bathroom or kitchen while the work was being done. Their clean-up game was also aces: no mess left behind whatsoever. I'm thoroughly impressed with their work ethic and would highly recommend Rescue Plumbing to anyone seeking a reliable, efficient, and fair plumber.

Our third attempt to fix our air conditioners was a breeze thanks to Joe and Sully's charm. They arrived on time, were friendly and efficient. After 25 years of service, we needed two new units - they had extras in stock to replace them the next day. The technicians worked non-stop for two days to get everything up and running. We're extremely satisfied and will only call this company for air conditioning and heating services going forward.
-
They delivered exceptional work, arriving on the same day as requested. The job was completed promptly and priced reasonably. Overall, I'm thoroughly pleased with the service and would highly recommend without hesitation.

I've been relying on this company for my HVAC and plumbing needs for over three years, and I've consistently been pleased with their service. The technicians leave the area tidy, while the office staff is friendly and courteous. Appointments are usually arranged at a time that suits me, rarely taking more than two days to secure. When Mike showed up, he was punctual and delivered his work as expected. He's always professional.
-
Very professional service arrived on time and fixed the issue. However, they charged separately for each part of the job, which felt a bit high-handed.
-
They fixed our faulty thermostat on their first try, which is a big plus.
-
We've relied on this service for over two years now, and their proactive maintenance has consistently delivered significant benefits.

We were disappointed with Rescue Plumbing & HVAC's service. After an initial assessment, we were told our HVAC system needed a motor fan replacement - a pricey fix at $1500 for parts and labor. Unfortunately, this didn't resolve the issue.
Further testing revealed another problem: a control board issue, with an additional quote of $1500. We took our concerns elsewhere for a second opinion.
To our surprise, the other company diagnosed air flow as the root cause, resolving the issue for under $700. That's where my one-star rating comes in - despite the technician being responsive and courteous, even on Thanksgiving, we're unhappy with the lack of resolution. Rescue Plumbing & HVAC has been unresponsive to our request for a partial refund, making us question their commitment to customer satisfaction. -
The technician was patient and explained everything clearly as he installed the new thermostat. He showed me how to operate it, making sure I understood before moving on. The whole process was hassle-free and exceeded my expectations.

I was desperate after a burst pipe in my main water line in August 2022, and in my desperation, I chose the first emergency plumbing service that showed up on Google. The "plumber" sent over by this company, who went by Sam, turned out to be a far cry from professional. He spent two hours working on the pipe but only managed to apply a crude patch that seemed more like a Band-Aid than a proper fix.
Despite being charged $2,027 for what I was told were high-quality materials, Sam didn't make any effort to explain or justify his methods. Instead, he tried to spin it as a discount, taking advantage of my lack of knowledge and exhaustion at the time. I should have known better, but I was too far gone.
Fast forward three months, just before Christmas, and the patch starts to fall apart, causing a massive leak in the main water line under the repair. I spent weeks trying to get Sam to return my calls or respond to my texts, but he either ignored me or didn't answer at all. His responses were always vague and unhelpful, claiming that I had a full warranty on the work.
However, every promised appointment came and went without him showing up, leaving me to deal with the mess myself. I applied tape and putty to try and stem the leak, but it was a temporary fix at best. Eventually, I lost patience and hired a legitimate plumber who replaced the entire pipe. In hindsight, I should have reported this company to the consumer affairs division in NJ as soon as possible.
If you're searching for an emergency plumber, stay far away from this one. It's clear that they don't care about providing quality service or fixing problems properly. They're just looking to take your money and run. -
We had a great experience with this company, especially since they came to our office in Bloomfield for HVAC maintenance. Their technician arrived on time, was friendly, and got the system up and running again right away.

They provided excellent service with knowledgeable professionals who explained repairs clearly and fixed our hot water heater promptly.
-
I'm extremely dissatisfied with Rescue Plumbing's performance. A week without hot water has been frustrating, and daily calls to the company have yielded nothing but silence or vague promises of a technician visit that never materialized. When someone does answer, they just tell me it'll be taken care of eventually. The lack of reliability and trustworthiness is staggering - I'd strongly advise against using this service.
