Sorry for the long post- I hope it will deter people from using this company. I am also waiting for a snarky response (read the reviews below) despite my documentation.
My water heater went out Sunday, 11/28. I filed an online claim the same day with my home warranty company, 2-10. I called Jefferson Plumbing on Monday, 11/29. They said the earliest they could get someone out to diagnose it was Thursday, 12/2. I understood and accepted that, as winter is a busy time. The man that came by Thursday, Mark Sheets, was very friendly and helpful. He said he wasn't sure when the install would be, which I understand is not his job to schedule. I tried to call Jefferson Plumbing on Friday, 12/3 for an update on an install date. Their hours are listed online as Monday-Friday, 7:30 am - 3 pm. I called at 2:30 pm and 2:45 pm but didn't get an answer. No answering machine either. I called again at 7:45 am on Monday, 12/6. The receptionist said they were waiting on the home warranty company to order the water heater. I called the home warranty company a few hours later. They said Jefferson Plumbing filed the diagnostic paperwork that morning (after I called). I called Jefferson Plumbing again today, Tuesday, 12/7. I tried to call them 5 times, starting at 7:30 am. A coworker of mine also called them four additional times. They finally picked up at 8:30 am on my fifth try. I asked for an update, and they said the earliest they could install it was next Monday, 12/13. I said that would put me without hot water for two weeks. It is 29 degrees outside right now. They said they had a lot of emergency calls over the weekend. I said, Shouldn't I already be in line since you all came out on Thursday? She again said they had too many emergencies over the weekend. I told her the warranty company told me Jefferson Plumbing didn't file the diagnosis until Monday morning (yesterday) after I called. The receptionist kept trying to deflect. Eventually she said, Well regardless of when it was filed, the earliest we can install it is Monday. I am very upset that I waited nearly one and a half weeks without hot water for nothing. I am very disappointed with the runaround and unprofessionalism.
