We’ve experienced a true months-long “saga” with a plumbing company who installed our new furnace and air/exhaust stack in August 2022 which failed to heat our home all throughout the months of December 2022 through April 2023.
Several onsite service calls, costing me a fortune, to this installer/plumber – who first acted as though they didn’t believe the problem was happening, until finally witnessing the issue that we’d been experiencing, with their own eyes. (I won't even go into details the game they've tried to play with regards to the furnace and stack that they installed, still being under warranty.)
Of course, they promised to communicate with us to expedite further trouble-shooting and repair efforts, which never happened, even though I've attempted to contact them. I've concluded by now that, they simply don’t care about the quality of their work, or their customers, at all.
Frustrated with this experience and completely and totally DONE with this notable Anchorage installer/plumbing company who advertises 30+ years of experience, I called Discount Mechanical Plumbing and Heating instead.
Discount Mechanical Plumbing and Heating arranged for a Service Technician to come out, the next day, to trouble-shoot and hopefully repair our heating issue.
Discount Mechanical Plumbing and Heating’s Service Technician Jim was on site at the appointed time. He provided extensive diagnostic and testing of the furnace, and experienced the issue we were having first-hand, exactly as we had described. He has since repaired the issue and is confident that the problem won’t happen again!
I am so very, very pleased to report that from the moment my call was answered, I felt a tremendous sense of relief in just speaking with the dispatch staff! After speaking with the Office Manager Latoya to tell her about having had such a fantastic and positive experience with her staff, I would like to offer my profound thanks, and respect to Latoya and each of her employees, especially Aaliyah (Dispatch) - and forgive me, I sense that there may have been one other dispatcher I spoke with on Monday and I simply am unable to remember her name, I feel terrible and I apologize if that's the case- and Jim (Service Tech!) who helped us, with a sense of urgency and commitment! Latoya has assured me that if we continue to experience problems with our heating system, they will stick with us until resolved! As for my wife, who suffers from a serious chronic medical condition and I, having steady, reliable heating in our home, without question, is paramount to us.
The staff at Discount Mechanical Plumbing and Heating, are absolutely the best of the best, and they will be the company that we will rely on for any plumbing and heating needs we may have! We are so happy to be your customers!!!
Thank you,

I have since requested additional service from Discount Mechanical Heating and Plumbing regarding an exterior water spigot and an interior water spout in one of our bathrooms. Once again, we had a great experience! Dispatcher was completely knowledgeable about the type of request presented, had a complete handle on the scheduling portion, the Service Technician (Abu) was on time and so very respectful of our property! He gave us a game plan, then executed it perfectly! Once complete with the repair, he took the time to explain what service he performed and showed us the parts that needed to be replaced! I could not be happier with the service we've received from Discount Mechanical Heating and Plumbing! You are all appreciated so much! Thank you once again! -Mic and Janice Silva
