Best Heater Problems in Milwaukee WI
We have been using Hartlaub since we became homeowners and have always been incredibly impressed with the promptness of their services as well as the friendliness and reliability of the staff. We recently had Jack come to our home to help with a clogged kitchen drain and he not only resolved the issue promptly, but also took the time to offer education and preventative services for the future. On top of it all, he allowed my curious and energetic puppy to “help”, which made for a stress free environment in our home. I would recommend Jack and Hartlaub every time!

Knauer is always very responsive .They are very fair and honest in their appraisal of problems. I use them for both heating and plumbing issues.-for over 15 years. I once had a toilet that overflowed on my third floor and they came within 30 minutes to fix it and basically saved my home! We recently lost the heat in our home and i feared we would need a new boiler-an expense i dreaded during this current crisis time. Knauer replaced a valve and it was fixed! I highly recommend them.

Called Alpine back in Feb 2017 because I wasn’t getting enough hot water. Was told I needed a new hot water heater, to the tune of around $1700. When I called back a few weeks later and explained that this didn’t fix the problem, I basically got the cold shoulder, no attempt to correct or address the issue.
Several months later, I had an issue with mold in the utility room. Upon investigating, my husband and I found that one of the HVAC drain hoses was up against the wall, nowhere near the floor drain, causing condensate to run under the wall. I can’t prove that their installer moved it, but he was the last one in there, and judging by the quality of the cleanup, I definitely wouldn’t be surprised.
A few weeks ago (June 2021), I noticed I had no hot water on a Sunday evening. Circuit breaker was tripped. Thought, “weird, but maybe has something to do with everyone running AC with the heat wave”, so reset it. Still no hot water. Called the 24 hour ‘hotline’ and left a message. No call back. Called Monday morning, left a message. Received a voicemail an hour or so later that someone could be out today in the afternoon, and I should call back to confirm if that worked for me, when I called back (within two minutes of it being left), a most unpleasant woman told me that they had a tech available, but was he now booked, as I hadn’t called back quickly enough and I could either pay them for overtime to come out that night or wait until tomorrow. When I explained how unhappy I was and how wrong I thought that was, I was told to call someone else.
After making a few more calls, my husband ended up taking a look at it. First thing he found was that the flexible conduit running to the heater was as loose as can be on the water heater end. On inspecting connections to the incoming power, one of the wire nuts had melted, then wires melted through the plastic inside the connection area, shorting to the shell of the heater (ground). Note that the melted wire nut was apparently yellow (see pic). My husband noted that per the package of wire nuts, ‘yellow’ is undersized for this application (2 x #10 AWG), they both should have been red, as the other one was. Oh, and the conduit was so loose because the hole in the cover was about 3 sizes too big for the fitting used- and rather than use a couple of $0.59 reducing washers, they just flopped it together as is.
As my husband put it, one doesn’t need to be an electrician to figure something like this out – I would surely expect someone who installs stuff like this to know how to use the right fittings and components. Thank God for circuit breakers, or my house almost surely would have burned down…

Vince was great to work with, communicated very well, and was very straightforward and honest throughout the process. His team was also very flexible with working around my time restrictions. I’ll be using them again moving forward and would recommend them to anyone in the Milwaukee Area!

Darryl reached out within an hour of my initial inquiry. He came, looked at the pipes, made a recommendation and quoted me a price. He arrived at the stated time, did the work, cleaned up any dirty area and was on his way. Super nice guy. I would use him again and recommend him to others with drainage problems. Reasonable price for the work.

Goes by milwaukee plumbing services for billing purposes. Will charge you at least $80 to walk in the door and claims all non-desperate plumbers do the same. That is a lie. Will then tell you not to purchase any replacement parts so they can get you a warranty. That is just to upcharge you. Finally, got a second quote that was nearly half the price. Look elsewhere.

Adam diagnosed and repaired our water heater. He was very courteous and professional. I was amazed on how quickly he was able to get our water back going for us. The landlord forgot to mention that the toilet tank was filling really slow. Adam went ahead and fixed that up for us also. Really grateful for the quality service. Thank you.

Professional job plain and simple. Work was impeccable and well worth the price I paid. The plumber (Tim) put all the PVC Pipes together, checked and rechecked before cementing them together. The outcome was a great end result.

I love my maintenance package with Rozga! Made an appointment to have my furnace checked, the guys arrived on time and while one worked on the furnace the other checked all of my air ducts and vents, adjusting them for maximum efficiency. Also suggested a few things I could do to even out the temperature throughout my condo. Very professional!

My wife and I had a high water bill and we were concerned we had a leak. Jess, the owner of Milestone was very helpful with a tip on how to check for a leak. We found a leak in our home and Milestone was able to send someone the next week to fix it. The plumbers were on time, professional and did a great job. Highly recommend them.

Fantastic service! Viking fixed what two other plumbing companies weren't able to, in our sewer drain. VERY happy with the work, affordable pricing and really nice people! Plus, they cleaned up afterward too! Thanks Viking!
