Appletree Plumbing Heating & Drains Inc

Horrible! A man came out to look at our fernace and, with out fully checking it out, said that the wiring to the fernace was faulty and we needed an electrician. We call an electrician out and he says that the wiring is fine. Call this place back and get the same guy to come back that was originally here (Because he took the thermostat of the wall and never replaced it and the electrician wanted $ 300 to put it back). This time the guy goes down to the fernace and looks at it briefly, says that he won’t fix it because it’s too old and he «speaks for the company» but he’ll put in a new one for 5k. Again, he didn’t look at it. Ended up getting a friend of a friend over to look at it, turned out it was only the thermostat that needed to be replaced. Over all, the guy was a jerk who thought that his poop smells like roses and the company was no help. I’d give no stars if I could. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!

Our Furnace stopped working recently, so we called Appletree to come and fix it. We knew that it was the ignitor as my husband is a handy kind of guy, but he didn’t feel confident in fixing it himself. They told us they would charge $ 45 to come to the house and look at it, which seemed reasonable. They came out the very next day which also was nice.
The only thing wrong with the furnace was that it needed a new ignitor. It took less than 20 minutes to repair. However, they ended up charging us $ 333! This was a «discounted price» they gave us after we questioned why the cost was so high. They quoted $ 480 as the «standard rate» on the invoice.
The repairman couldn’t tell us how much the actual ignitor cost. He told me that other repairmen would have suggested we replace the entire furnace, or could have charged us over $ 700 for the ignitor repair. (We have a new, very nice furnace by the way).
I called yesterday to talk to the owner. A woman took my name and number and said he would call me back. I haven’t heard anything back.
Our furnace is working again, that is the up side here. However I have done some research and at most I have found ignitors to cost $ 50. I have been told by another repairman that switching out an ignitor is as easy as changing a light bulb. Maybe the owner will call me back and convince me otherwise. But for now, we are very disappointed.

This company is run by a bunch of swindlers! I had a leak in the compression fitting of the yoke to the water meter in my basement. I just didn’t want to mess with it, so I called them. They told me the entire yoke had to be rebuilt and it was a custom job. He started measuring everything and said he had to go back «to the shop» to weld it up. I was quoted $ 850-​$ 950. I couldn’t believe it, so I had him call the owner to confirm the quote. Yep, that was the quote… I said, let me think about it overnight. In the morning, I drove to a plumbing shop on Broadway and they said those are standard yokes made in mass production for each water company (mine is Willows Water). I went downtown and found they actually cost $ 60 not $ 950!!! Plus, the company said there was no need to replace it if my leak was at the fitting. They gave me a 20 cent rubber gasket and it fixed the problem fine!!! I called AppleTree Plumbing back and asked them how they SLEEP AT NIGHT!!! Don’t use this company! Crooks!!!

Same here. we had a leak in a valve to the garden hose. The estimate was 450. Off we go to home depot, and my husband bought all necessary material (we had nothing and had to buy everything). 100 usd later and a few bad words, valve changed and everything in order. Will never call them again (oh and did i say we had to pay 110 for them to come over and check a gaz leak)

I called Appletree to diagnose a leak and to fix the faucet in my shower. They did a good job in both respects. They found the leak and they fixed the faucet. Their estimate for repairing the leak, however, was outrageous! I was able to get a quote from Bell Plumbing for nearly half of what they quoted.
I found out later that a friend had a similar leak and initially called Appletree and got the same bid. Fortunately, she encouraged me to get a second bid. It’s going to save me thousands of dollars!
