I was introduced to this company from Home Depot. The sales man was great and really showed how good the company and their work was. Even though it was a fair bit more expensive we went with it due to the great salesman. But the work and service did not match what we were told!The guys were nice and fast but we paid for all of our ducts to be replaces fully insulated. I told the sails guy things to lookout for and he said his crew would do that and agreed on this. They did not! I had to go up into my attic and check myself as I felt something was off. When I went up there I found that the things we agreed to were not done. 3 of my ducts were not replaced, even had a hole in it! They secured their crawl boards on top of the electrical line, which you do not do!!They double stacked the ducts on one hanger so one was crushed down to 75% air flow so my sons room is hotter than it was earlier before I paid them $7000.00 for this.There was fiber glass on the carpet they left.I called the salesman and went over this first visit to replace the ducts. He scheduled a crew to replace the missed ducts.I then poked my head up there and saw the restricted ducting as my son needed fans to sleep.I called and left another message. I was called back and they asked for pictures. I emailed these. I was told it would be fixed. Weeks went by, no calls or scheduling to fix it.I called again when I found another problem after the insulation was pumped in. I was told again that they would schedule this and the date and time. No one called or came out. Now I'm pretty upset and it takes a lot for me to leave a bad review so I called again. Left a message no response!So we had this work done in May and it's July still not fixed and I know have to go up in the hot attic and fix their work. Pay for the things they covered with insulation, but where supposed to be collected and put in a box per the agreement. I don't know what else I will find.But very disappointed and for the normal home owner who does not crawl up in the attic to inspect these guys work I feel bad as they don't know what the are not doing even though paid for and a lot!!!!They said all their work is guaranteed but you can't get them out to fix their work!

Water heater failed in the middle of the night early Friday morning. We found this company through Lowe's and contacted them. An employee came out on Saturday and explained options and provided an estimate. Technician (Corey) came on Sunday morning and removed old unit and replaced with a new one. See photo. Very pleased.

We had a main sewer line blockage that backed up water in our bathrooms leaving us with no working bathrooms and unable to use our waterline. It happened last night and this company was the only emergency service that was responsive in getting us an appointment as soon as possible. Cameron, our tech/ plumber showed up ready to work. He was highly knowledgeable and professional. He kept me informed every step of the way. He got the issue resolved efficiently. I am highly satisfied with the service I received. I highly recommend this company.

Tech arrived on time and introduced himself. Showed him where the thermostat and heating unit were located and he got straight to work checking the system. 30 minutes later he announced he was finished and told me everything was great with the along with no safety concerns with the gas line and fittings.All in all a great experience. Will have them come out in the spring to do the yearly A/C service.

These guys were awesome. Very professional and courteous. Very efficient. As soon as they realized that a task in the order was missing. They stopped, reaccessed and came back the next day. Some customers would have been upset but it wasn’t their fault. They’d rather keep us in our old functioning AC than rip it down and come back the next day. They even notified me that the home builder AC install was a little unusual and corrected the misalignment of the ducting. Super satisfied with the work. Highly recommend Rueben and Andres and their crew for your AC work.

This was basically a perfect experience from the initial call to setup a quote to the finished job. The advisor explained what the problem was and gave several options to fix it. On the day of service, Even though the technician experienced a flat tire on the way to the job, he called and told me there would be a delay, they showed up ready to work, very courteous and respectful. Explained all that they were doing and why they needed to do it. Then the service advisor came after the work was done to make sure everything was done correctly and it was. Very satisfied with the entire experience. I was concerned because of some of the negative reviews, but the guys who showed up to my home were top notch professionals.

I unfortunately lost power in two rooms at around 4 am and made an online request for an appointment. I was called almost immediately after 8 am when they opened and had a tech out at my house before 10 am! I had James and would highly recommend him for his punctuality, fun personality, and problem solving. He quickly found the fault was with a switch that needed replacing, and was done and paid before 10:30 am. Very friendly to my many pets including guinea pigs, rats, and my dog. Explained clearly what happened and what he was going to do, as well as the price before attempting to do any work outside of the 93$ service charge (which is taken out of the total if you have them do the work). A bit expensive but that's what you get with same day, top notch service! Thank you for your help James!

Kyle provided great service to diagnose the issue and then ultimately complete the repair work. He clearly explained our options to repair or replace our water heater. The reason why I’m not providing a 5 star rating is the lack of communication and follow up on the repair. We were told one week for the part to arrive. The repair was completed more than 2 weeks later. No one contacted us to advise that the part was delayed, the technician was on vacation, or working on other higher priority jobs. It’s a reasonable expectation that ARS would communicate with us and help set our expectations for the repair. We have been longstanding customers of ARS and this is the first time we’ve received poor customer service.

We are satisfied with the completion of the huge job that we needed . The process went pretty good overall. Our issue we encountered was with communication trying to get our questions answered . After the 5th call to the office, leaving messages, we were able to finally get a quick response from Samuel Martin. Mr. Martin was able to get all of our questions answered along with making us feel at ease about the job that was completed. So thanks Samuel for being professional,understanding and prompt. Now all I'm waiting for is my referral bonus . BTW this is our 2nd pipe repair with this company and our 1st repair went %100 smooth from beginning to the end with no issues at all. Thank again for your service!

I called this company for an emergency repair last summer. I was pleased with the experience and had them send a sales rep out to give me a quote to replace the system since it was on the older side and likely to break again. We ended up deciding to hold off and 9 months later reached back out to explore replacement again. I scheduled an appointment for Saturday morning (today was Thursday) and let my tenants know that someone would be coming. I gave explicit instruction to call me to discuss the quote and not speak to my tenants about it. 2 hours later, I received a text message that someone was on the way. I was confused, as it was Thursday and I had set up an appointment for Saturday, so I immediately called to cancel. The company assured me they had contacted the sales rep and called off the appointment and apologized for the confusion. 20 minutes later, I got a text from my tenant that the sales rep was there. I was furious at the disorganization of the company but my tenants decided to just let them do the quote since they were not busy. The sales rep proceeded to walk my tenants around the property and point out all of the “flaws” of my current system. He never called me until after he had already left the home. His quote was over $7000 more than I was quoted 9 months prior. His rationale for this was “inflation.” It was also a 1 year newer model of the same system which meant it had better SEER. I asked what that meant and he responded that it was hard to explain but it just meant it works better. After I expressed my displeasure, he knocked thousands of dollars off of the quote in a matter of minutes which solidified my distrust. I decided to get a quote from another company and was quoted a price lower then ARS gave me 9 months ago and nearly $8000 lower than my new quote from ARS. I would steer clear from this shady company.

Installation was done but it took almost 4 hours. I did not receive an itemized list of the installation steps. I did not receive the account number for the installation. I did not receive the information about any guarantee. Installer said it would take only 45 minutes. Installer had issues with putting together the toilet. The Home Depot website suggested that the installation would be $99. It was $400. I'm still in shock.

I couldn’t be more satisfied. After not having hot water for almost 3 weeks and then having to start shutting the water off to the whole house ARS of Austin was a blessing to me and my family. I called the emergency number on Lowe’s website, I told them what was going on with my water heater and what I needed. As soon as I hung up with the representative, my phone rang and it was a very nice young lady getting me set up for someone to call me for a quote on a water heater installation. I had a water heater installed within 2 days of speaking with ARS representatives. Everyone was so professional. The plumbers did a fantastic job installing my water heater. They also reached out to me and sent pictures of water damage to my walls and areas of mold on the wall to make sure that I was aware of it. I am in the process of getting that taken care of as well. Thank you ARS for a nice job well done!

We had a clogged sewer line from the kitchen sink. The technician was on time and was nice. He was able to open a small diameter through the clog but said he didn't have the equipment to completely clear the line and that we would have to schedule another appointment. The cost was already 2 1/2 times what other companies charge. We have used ARS many times and this is the first time we have been disappointed in the service and the cost.

She sent two new technicians to correct the mistakes of the first technician, and they were wonderful. The job was done quickly and efficiently, and they were friendly and left the space clean. Our first technician was confusing and difficult. He quoted a price & then changed it multiple times during the visit. He removed a working part that did not need replacing without checking. I was initially very disappointed in the service from this company, but couldn't have been happier with the second round of service... very glad I called.

Against my better judgment I renewed my contract again recently. I have been a customer for 17 years, but this company needs to get its scheduling fixed. Repeated cancelations of appointments. No reasons given. Seldom any contact at best. At the last minute after you call them to ask where the technician is. If it first improve I will not be renewing again.the last vouple of years it has gone downhill badly !! I keep hearing its an issue between their Houston dispatch centre and local offices. If it is its a 3 year issue now. Sitting at home waiting for nothing gets very frustrating

I said nope - I'll go with someone else. Home Depot should really use someone else. This is terrible service.**Your reply mentioned Renee and a number as though it will go straight to her but it just goes to the normal line where I received poor service to begin with.

Heater went out after the power came back on from the winter storm in early February. Called a service tech and he quoted us at $3k to fix a few parts. He recommend us getting it replaced since it was over 10yrs old. We had another guy from ARS come out to give us some options and he quoted us at $7k just for the heater replacement and over $11k for the heater/AC. We told him we needed some time to get a 2nd opinion before committing to spending that much money. I found another service, had them come out and they fixed the heater for a little over $300 and now it works fine. We've had ARS for years and really only called them a few times throughout the past 10yrs when they installed our current heater/AC, but still, they were clearly trying to get a sale and have us spend all that money on a replacement when it could've been fixed for cheap. This just rubs me the wrong way. ?

Samuel Martin and the crews that saw to my needs are phenomenal! Samuel stayed on top of everything and stayed in touch with me throughout the process. I highly recommend ARS because of the excellent service I received. Sam expedited my needs which made certain I would be safe and able to remain in my home.I had so many issues! My water heater had some rust and was leaking, my tub wasn’t draining, and then there was the old toilet! They assessed all issues with professional courtesy and thoughtfulness. I now have a fabulous new toilet, new tankless water heater, new sewer line, better pressure for the kitchen faucet (corrected from installation by another business), have a well functioning bathtub drain, and feel more secure in my home. All of the folks at ARS strive to provide great service and they succeed beginning with dispatch, Jose (inspection), Samuel (sales/plumbing, etc.), Steven, Max, Pedro, Heidi and others. ARS employees always wear booties and does what they can to protect your property, as well as remove any mess or debris. They are polite, considerate and patient. We have used ARS for at least 20 years and refer them to friends. We rely on ARS and will continue to do so.It was time for my semi-annual check for the HVAC system and the dispatch persons were very helpful and darling! They also updated me on his arrival time. Daniel performed the semi-annual check of my HVAC system plus reviewed the ductwork and insulation. He made recommendations, but did not push a hard sell. He was wonderful and considerate. These are some of the many reasons I love ARS.

I was quoted an $89 flat diagnostic fee. The tech arrived and shortly after looking at the water heater confirmed my suspicion of the control valve, but highly suggested a new water heater due to ours being 8 years old. He stated “they just don’t make them like they used too, and they only last about 9 years.” I told him all I wanted was the control valve. He confirmed they could get the part and have it replaced the same afternoon. He left the unit draining and disappeared for 2 hours. I texted ARS and within 5 seconds my doorbell rings. The tech lets me know he has been looking for the part everywhere and it will arrive on Monday ( the day of service bring TH)??? He then tells me instead of $800, he will be charging me $1100 for the valve because they have increased in price ( this is after he has sent me a quote for the services that I have already signed). The tech then proceeds to push for the water heater stating he could have it completely replaced by next day at $3000.00. At this point I decide I don’t want anything and I let him know I will wait for my husband to get home from Korea over the weekend to deal with it. The tech then proceeds to tell me that he needs to calculate what is due to him. I tell him, it’s $89 as I was quoted but he goes on to say that he had to do legwork that took time… I stop ✋ him and tell him that all I will be paying is $89 and he says that he will allow it for this one time, like really??? I’m so happy I did not go ahead with the services. I felt this young gentleman was an opportunist and a macho-sexist that took advantage of the situation. I have used ARS for 20 years and as of yesterday we will be taking our business elsewhere.

He left and my friends comes to the house looks at the system they installed and said I have the same system but it cost me only $180 at Home Depot ; my friend was very upset and we called 3 x to talk to a manager to get an explanation why they will charge me so much ; no one called me to follow on me about this issue; I talk to a lady for the last time told her did they do the membership like I ask nope they didn’t even listen to what I said so they never did the membership they supposed to call me to sign me up for the membership so that if I have any air conditioning problem Ido t have to pay for the hand work only if they need to replaced a device; they never sign me up and I’m glad they didn’t but please do not go to this company they just try to take your money and they not considered or follow with you about any concern; I have requested a refund because they charge me so much was just a devise that’s costed $180 and they charge 750ish horrible service and customer service please do not go there.

From the moment I called them to get an estimate to the moment they left after installation of my new HVAC unit. They were very professional and very accommodating. The dispatcher that scheduled my appt (Debi) was friendly and helped me get set up with an appt ASAP! She explained everything to me and what the Comfort Advisor would do. The Comfort Advisor (Chance) was very thorough in explaining the differences between a 2 ton and 2.5 ton units and helped me pick the right one for my size of house and budget. He got me set up with an amazing loan that is working out great for me, as well. The install technicians were fast and thorough, they also installed a Co2/smoke detector and thermostat for me, with my purchase. Then I needed a new breaker for my electric panel and the electrician (Richard) was also very knowledgeable, friendly and helped educate me even more on how the breakers work and why they needed to change it. He was one of the best service men I have had out to my house.I was very pleased from start to finish with the service and product installed at my house. I have not had a single issue since and I'm loving the quieter and more efficient unit they installed.Thank you, ARS Team.

ARS installed a toilet for me that I purchased two years ago from Home Depot. After the initial installation was completed there was a leak under the toilet on the floor. A second installation was made by ARS. Two years later, the toilet began to leak again under the toilet and on to the floor.I called ARS, disgruntled that the toilet was leaking after the second installation.I spoke to the General Manager. Renee.Renee had a technician out to my house within three days. The tech completed this installation and explained to me, each step of the process. ARS made this repair one year after the warranty had expired.There are not many companies out there that would provide this type of service anymore.Kudos to both Renee and ARS Plumbing.

Initially we purchased a new HVAC unit through Home Depot and ARC was the company they used to install it. The installers were nice but we later found out they made some errors. After 1 year our coolant had leaked out and luckily it was covered at the time. Here we are another year later (2years after getting a completely new hvac system for approx. $14k) and having the same exactly problem. Which means twice the problem hasn’t been fixed. The technician that came out today told me the 3 year old compressor wasn’t going to last long and just to extend the life of the compressor it would cost approx. $3k! Additionally my appointments were canceled twice and the third time I was given 10 minutes notice before the technician arrived, despite the expectations of 45 mins from the original scheduler. Dispatch was very rude and left a snarky message. I’m very unhappy with the service and will be contacting hq about it.

You cannot trust the prices they quote. Called for a kitchen sink clog. Was quoted a price. Confirmed that the price was for fixing a kitchen sink clog, not an issue with my main sewer line. Waited for the plumber to come out. Was almost immediately told by the plumber that the price was about $400 more than quoted. Talked to supervisor and was told the person on the phone was wrong and their phone center had been giving out bad quotes recently. Supervisor also told me they charge more than the quoted price just as a service fee. About the only good thing is that they agreed not to charge me the service fee for coming out and doing nothing because they gave me a bad price quote.

He could not fix the issue but stayed for an hour trying to figure it out. He was very sweet and looked up all kinds of things. I asked if he could just put in a new thermostat but he only had the non programable kind. So my only suggestion would be to have a few in his truck instead of having to schedule a return visit.

I contacted ARS through Home Depot, the whole process went really smooth until I found out from the AHRI Certificate that a 14 seer unit was installed instead of the 15 seer that I paid for. After that they stopped answering phone calls and text messages. I made several calls and trips to Home Depot before ARS finally responded and agreed to change out the unit. I certainly wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Courteous technician. Checked system and found everything to be in working order on my 16 year old HVAC system. I was expecting preventative maintenance work to be done such as cleaning the coils and drain lines, etc for the $69 fee. I guess I’ll continue to do my own PM until my unit craps out!!!

Repair guy Pedro was informative and friendly however the weekend dispatch Kim has a terrible attitude, customer communication skills are not friendly. I don’t want to bash Kim because she could’ve been having a bad day but aggressive behavior and hanging up on a customer because she didn’t want to be at work was a red flag ?. Outside of the one issue the service was on par.

Contrary to their being available for quick service, we have been waiting a week for a plumber to show up. They cancelled the first appointment and had us wait an additional six days. We know there is a shortage of plumbers, but we wonder what would have happened if we had a serious leak. If you need timely service, I suggest you look elsewhere.

I contracted with ARS to replace my HVAC system and this was partially done on Oct 3, 2022 - this did not install all the equipment at that time. They made several appointments to finish the installation but would never show up.I finally called Visa and reported this as a fraudulent charge. That got Home Depot interested and they, in turn, got ARS suddenly interested. They completed the install but it was not properly done and causes significant vibration from the compressor into our exterior wall - enough that you can literally feel the vibration when you touch the wall and it is very loud.I was able to get a technician out twice to evaluate and he agreed something was very wrong and that the compressor should be replaced. Since then, I have been unable to get ARS to return and replace the compressor. I have called their support multiple times, filled out many online forms, contacted the sales rep, and remain in contact with Home Depot, but still ARS just cannot seem to handle this.My recommendation is to *run* from these guys. They will take your money and not deliver the products and services they promise and then try to wait you out until you get tired of calling them.

If you have any kind of problem you better figure it out with a real professional company. These people are not here to be helpful or honest they are just out to make money. They are a horrid company who does more damage than good. Seriously figure out what is exactly wrong before you call them. Because they are only out to sell you their stuff. They destroyed a toilet at my mothers house and it flooded the basement with sewage. Thousand of dollars to clean up. Sell you products you don’t need they have an excuse for everything.

Not very honest! Advertised $84 drain clean or your money back BUT when plumber got here he told me as he had to clean out the kitchen drain it would be $418 !! I asked him to explain the difference between sticking a snake down the outside cleanout and the kitchen drain out and he repeated himself kitchen clean out is $418. I told him to stop wasting his and my time! The old bait and switch trick. Very dishonest practices!!

I signed up for the Premium monthly membership and I must say, it has been the worst. The first 5 visits go rescheduled and I took off of work 2 of those days to be there and they didn't show. Next, My house is new, this was supposed to be routine check, nothing serious. Troy shows up to perform the inspection. 1st he decided to bypass a high voltage safety switch at the furnace. I asked him about it because I was standing there watching him. There were times that I had to leave and I could hear him falling and making all this noise. He completes his inspections after a few hours and leaves. The next morning, my heater didn't work, it was 30 degrees outside that day. The first thing I thought, that dang switch! Turned out after he came back, the logic board failed! Brand new communication board and a brand new house and it fails.I complained to his supervisor and he tried to back up his guy bypassing a safety switch, and make lt seem trivial. This is the worst company to deal with during this time. The inspection you ask? No, they never gave me any results, freon levels, a/c voltages good, is my furnace ok, nope, not nothing. I have been waiting on a call from the customer relations to cancel my membership. Again, you guessed it, NO CALL YET. This all started 9 months ago. Had they came out the first time and I had the board fail I might have just paid it. But it took them 8 months just to come out! Then, coincidentally the board fails at the exact time they come out...I have been paying monthly subscriptions for this. I will call someone else for my needs. My first ARS experience SUCKED!P.S. I'm not one to leave reviews but this was terrible service. I had too. And I've been waiting on a call from this Renee person for months. Bad form

STAY FAR AWAY!!UPDATE: after 4 months I had ARS remove their water heater that did NOT pass city inspection and I got fed up with missed appointments. I did get a refund.————-It took 3 weeks to get truly hot water in my new hot water heater & I received abusive behavior from the original plumber who thought he did good enough work! If leaving a mess, moving the new heater to a new place that took away much needed space in my utility room & not having hot water is a good job…Daniel, the electrician, had to fix the original plumber’s mistakes as well. It took 3 trips to fix the leak stop the plumber messed up. Daniel was professional & great.John C finally fixed the plumbing problems (3 weeks later) & he was terrific!Renee, the Customer Care manager was delightful & kept me from killing somebody! She fixed everything.

Called ARS because our Remi Halo was not working. (Installed approx 3 yrs ago along with a.heat pump) Renee did a great job coordinating and sending out her top service/warranty guy Scott P. He was excellent. He looked at the unit and the heat pump that was also installed by ARS. He found other issues we had not even detected and he fixed them all. He put quality above simply getting a quick fix done and leaving.We had previously had a few other issues with the heat pump over the last few years and the techs sent out were quick to fix the immediate problem but didn’t look at the system as a whole as Scott did. We had become frustrated with ARS and had lost faith in their techs abilities. However now that Scott has come and done a thorough job we feel we have finally received quality service. Hands down Scott has built trust back with is care and attention to detail and we are completely satisfied with the work he has done. Thank you Scott! Also thank you Renee for sending out a quality service/warranty tech!

Update - 7 months later: The AC unit and air transfer unit are good. The equipment is quiet and efficient. But the sales people promised too much. The electricity bill savings have not come close to what they said. That was a major selling point. I suggest buyers beware of promises from the ARS sales team. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is install day but so far so good. The sales specialists and installers explained everything well. They answered my questions and offered additional details based on our conversations. ARS is not the cheapest option but it has the best warranty I found. To support this warranty ARS needs to do a more thorough install (more parts replaced) than what is usually considered an AC replacement. To me this justified the added expense. The installers were fast. I think they were done in under 4 hours. They went thru Nest thermometer setup with me and showed me their work in the attic and outside around the condenser. Very professional start to finish. If the work and warranty hold up I'm a committed customer.

Searched for Electricians in Dripping Springs, these guys came up. Set up appointment with their person, they did not say Dripping Springs was not serviced. Two days later, on the day of my appointment, I had to call them to find out they don’t service my area. That’s three day without electricity and no correction from them. When I called them and found that out, I asked to talk to a supervisor, was told no one was answering the phone for that department. OK then.

1st technician came out and gave me false information that I required to pay 69 dollars for summer fees despite my prepaid diagnostics of 49 dollars. I told the technician my issues. And he informed me I required a drain pan service that cost 300 dollars. My cold air was not restored.After two rescheduled because they did not make it during the window of my appointment, a second technician came out.He made it seem like he was making up for the 1st technician by checking everything for me. He put leak stopper in my system and topped it off with refrigerant. I asked if there would be a way to check for leaks. He informed me that not until he comes back later and notices lower pressure/higher temperatures. In addition he replaced my capacitor because he told me that I should side with caution due to the incoming summertime heat. Because my capacitor was at it's minimums. I was charged an additional 200 dollars after being told I was supposed to be charged an additional 300. I got cold air for 1.5 weeks. And sure enough, my cold air was gone. I'm sure rescue rooter was waiting for my call back to replace my coil for me.ALL A SCAM.I went with another company that worked 10x faster and more efficient. My system was filled with refrigerant by the new technician and the new technician was able to detect a leak from my coils using a device detecting parts per million. READ THERE WAS A LEAK. WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I am replacing my coil with them and not this contracted scam of a company.ARS rescue rooter hires technicians that screw over home owners. Waste customers' time and money. 500 DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN for no reason.One 89 dollar service fee and a courteous leak check was provided by this superior company and cut to the chase. I am replacing my coil with them.

When I had a conflict with my scheduled appointment, ARS tried very hard to meet my needs. I was called 30 minutes prior to the technician, Louie, arrival. He introduced himself, asked if I had any a/c issues, and then got to work. He kept me apprised of any issues. He stated he would take photos of his work and send them with the invoice. I got the invoice, but no pics. He did however, show me the one issue and explain clearly what was occurring. He included a possible timeline for the repair and cost. I was pleased with Louie.Update:; The technician did not fix the issue and another tech came and ultimately fixed the issue. ARS also discounted the cost since it was not fixed the first time.4/21/23. Maintenance completed today by competent and knowledgeable tech, Peter. He introduced himself and following his inspection explained his findings with photos to support his explanation.

After costly septic pipe replacement by ARS in the spring my washer line would back up when using high water levels. At that time ARS augered the kitchen drain which merges with the washer line, and I had no problems with the washer for about 3 months. Late in the summer I tried contacting the Austin plumbing office but was routed through their Houston phone system and never heard back from anyone.So a month ago I requested a new appointment online for a technician to come out to troubleshoot. I tried to explain the work that was done earlier. He used a camera but did not auger (he charged me $328 for augering per receipt). He said he was going to get more information on what he thought was a solution. I texted him twice but have not seen or heard from him.I was very pleased with the 2 plumbers who did the septic pipe replacement in the spring. Both were efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. However their current managers/sales and some other staff leave much to be desired: get the customer's $ and run. Maybe this is just the Austin office. I hope so.

UPDATE: ARS sent another tech out to do a second opinion. Scott Partridge was the assigned tech who came for the second opinion. Scott reviewed with me what the prior techs told me and then did his own full inspection. He identified there was nothing wrong with my system. Scott was professional, thorough and a pleasure to work with. I can’t say enough positive things about Scott and would suggest ARS hire more techs like him if they want to keep their customers. Thank you Scott.Original feedback:I have had an annual maintenance contract with ARS for probably 15+ years. I have never had an issue until these past few months. They never sent me my annual renewal notice. I had to chase them down and after several requests, finally got the info to renew. Upon renewal, they said it was time for the annual heater inspection so we scheduled it. They did not show up in the scheduled appt block and it was a nightmare trying to get any updates from them for an eta. After showing up 4 hours after the appt time, the 2 guys were very pleasant but of course I suddenly have a major issue that needs repair right as my warranty expired just this summer. The timing of the issue sounds fishy and I will be looking to get other quotes.

Tech was friendly and competent. He fixed the problem in a reasonable amount of time. We have a service plan with ARs and yes they do give 15% off which was nice but all he had to do was drain the line and it was $64 for a service call and $300 and some dollars just to drain the line so my issue is the value of what I paid for what I got. Also ARS up to their monthly fees from $9 to 15 which is supposed to include a free service call but apparently not on Sundays. Do not recommend them.

I requested an internal pipe cleaning and camera service on a Friday. Scheduled it for Monday. The first set of plumbers came to my house 45 minutes before my scheduled window (woke my sleeping child walking around) and then proceeded to tell me they didn't have the right tools for the job. I said, No worries. Yes, I can reschedule for tomorrow with someone who does have the right tools. The next day comes and goes and no one shows up. I call in and ARS says they can send someone the following day. I verify that that individual knows the work is to be done on a drainline inside my house. They confirm yes. The plumber shows up this morning, opens up my cleanouts and confirms that the service I requested 7 days ago is what I need. He then turns around and states the price is FOUR TIMES WHAT I WAS ORIGINALLY QUOTED. I was quoted an external cleaning instead of the internal I had asked for... I tried to be patient this last week. My local plumber will usually show up the next day and be done by lunch. It had been seven days of pushing for service, confirming they had the right tools, confirming they were doing the right service... so I cancelled my service on the spot.

I didn't select ARS. I went through Home Depot and they use ARS. They did the tankless water heater installation in my attic. Installation was done facing backward. They asked me to add an extra controller because it's too much work to change it now. They didn't complete the ventilation part of the installation and had to call multiple times to get it complete. They are a pretty bad company and complaining to Home Depot didn't help either. I have a case pending with them and they never call back.

I ordered the water heater at Home Depot and the installer picked it up on the way to our house. Pete Lindeman did the install and he pointed out a lot of problems with the old configuration. After the install he walked me thru how he addressed each one. He did very precise work and the end result looked great! We were online by 4:30 pm! These guys are PROS and I AM going to use them next time and I recommend you give them a call!

I had floor installation done thru Home Depot. Ars was contracted thru Home Depot to remove and install new toilets. Ars said that the toilet upstairs need a new flanged. Which I told them to go ahead and replaced. The price changed multiple times. They said because they are a premium company. A fancy word to charge more. This was done less than two years ago. Toilet plumbing is leaking. They damaged the piping. The company doing the repairs is alot cheaper than ARS and they are doing more work. Ars was also contracted to take the toilets away. And they plumber was angry about that. I argued with him about it and he called his supervisor. His supervisor told him to just take them. Overpriced and poor craftsmanship on work performed. The plumber said that the pvc pipe was damaged and that ARS fixed it will silicone instead of replacing the pipe.

Was referred via Home Depot for a water heater installation. I spoke and made an appointment and they assured me they would replace my water heater that day. I asked what is the average cost of installation and they said it varies. (does it ever) Feeling pressed I booked. They scheduled me between 9-11. I phoned at 1:35 to check status and was told they would not be able to come until the following morning. An hour later a tech calls and he assures me he is right on time. I had drained the unit, and trouble shot myself.The heat trap valve was gone, and the copper line from the water heater to the wall connect had a hole. I decided given it's age I might as well replace vs. repair. I had emailed the details, model, size and all the steps taken, none were known. Not by the person I scheduled the appointment with nor the tech. The estimate is free, but the cost labor only to replace the 700$ water heater given was $3200.00 (THEN) as I am in the industry, I said are you sure? That is outrageous. He then said hmm well how about $1700. *&( to install. 2200 lower than the first attempt???? That feels dishonest and like a scam. That was it, not another word was spoken.

I was really disappointed in the level of service that they provided. First they charge a $85 service call fee just for coming to your location which I understand in fairly common, but then they wanted to charge me over $500 to replace a capacitor that costs less than $50 and only takes around five minutes to replace. I ended up doing it myself and cost me $35 for the capacitor and around 30 minutes of my time. I own five houses and will never do business with them again.

I discovered a leak in my water heater at midnight and was able to shut it off, called the number on their website and it was answered by a woman who scheduled a service tech to come that morning. Stephen arrived at noon and determined that there was still warranty through Home Depot on the unit. Since he arrived by himself I helped him remove the old unit from the attic. We went to Home Depot and secured a replacement and I helped to get the new one back in place. Stephen handled all of the connection points including fixing a minor leak on a factory installed fitting. He cleaned up after his work and was professional throughout the 6 hour job.

I bought a water heater from Lowe’s and scheduled ARS to help install. I moved ahead and installed the water heater but still needed some assistance, so I called ARS the day before my appointment and explained what I did and what I needed to complete. ARS said OK, we will keep the same appointment time to complete the job and explained that the service would be $89.00 to be included in the repair cost. Well, no one showed up for the appointment so I called the local ARS office again and was informed the appointment was canceled. So ARS rescheduled me for the next morning. For the second appointment, ARS called me and said they were behind and they would not make my appointment time again, this time saying a little after 1:00 pm. Then ARS called me at 2:00 pm saying there was a mixup and they would try later in the day. I told them I was done, cancel the service.This is NOT acceptable service. Nine hours of my time wasted.*****Update*****I see the same cut-n-paste corporate response to the many unhappy customers of ARS. I'm not interested in speaking with a Quality Assurance Manager because by all the bad reviews, there is no quality service with this company. One or more employees of the Austin local office should lose their jobs.

I was introduced to this company by home depot ONE MONTH AGO!!. My ac stopped working right as summer started, they came and gave a $15,000 estimate for new inside unit and outside unit, but stated they wouldn't check the ducts. The sales man insured me that the unit I was purchasing was big enough to cool my entire house and that it was energy efficient. They said they could come next day and install. I got an estimate the day prior from Ellis air for $8,000 but they didn't know when they could install due to product shortage. I chose to use ARS. 3 days after install I had to call them because my floor around the unit was soaked. They came next day and said no one sealed the drip pan. They added an entire roll of tape that day! I had to call back again 2 weeks later because I went on vacation and when I came home it was 90 in my house, I called they came out next day and said the thermostat noticed we were away and completely shut off!!! Yesterday my ac was set to 77 and ran all day long trying to get there but never got cooler than 80. I called for them to come out and she said it would be 2 days, I said no ma'am I purchased this 1 month ago and my warranty states service within 24 hours! She said she would put it in the notes..... No one came today. My ac is set at 80 and it's 80 in here yet my unit is still constantly running!!!!***UPDATE**** 3 WEEKS LATER THIS STILL ISNT RESOLVED!!!!

This review is for the Houston office.This company wants your business but they won't come do the work. Their business model is to advertise a low price (like for sewer line cleanout $69) then keep you hanging on till they may or may not send someone out. In my case they kept saying someone was on their way blah blah blah and 8 hours later still no one. This was daytime hours when they should have had a full staff responding to calls. This was a critical issue! I called Roto Rooter at almost midnight finally and they had someone out by 8:30am the next morning. Now that is how you do business. ARS Rescue Rooter is a joke. By the way, they called me the next morning 3 times and still said they had someone that could come but the problem was already fixed by their competitor. I don't know how they stay in business.

Missed two appointment windows for repair estimates. Sent out the wrong technician for the problems I told them needed to be diagnosed/estimated. ARS told me the estimate would be free, then tried to charge me an $89 fee for coming out. Called ARS to escalate the issue; haven't heard back.Had to ask the sellers/owners of the home to leave each time for the service window. First appointment window was 4 hours, and when they missed it I rescheduled for the next day, emphasizing that I needed a more accurate time of arrival to provide to the sellers. ARS gave me a 2-hour window assuring I would be one of the first service calls in the AM. The technician didn't arrive until nearly an hour after the window ended.Then when they arrived I reiterated the plumbing issues that needed to be investigated, but the technician said all they were told about was a clogged sink, and that they didn't specialize in the issues I mentioned but would take a look. We went ahead with the appointment, but I don't have much confidence in their ability to have identified all the problems. Whomever I spoke with when booking the appointment did a poor job of listing the issues I outlined and wasted a lot of people's time.And finally the billing issue for the free estimate was just the nail in the coffin. Tech said the ESTIMATE is free, but that there is a dispatch charge of $89. I did not pay and called ARS to escalate the issue. Haven't heard back but I won't be paying if they do call asking for my money.

I selected this company their exceptional guarantee and satisfaction or money back. I knew this was a big project and I wanted the best. The main reason I replaced the AC is because the pan and wood under it was rotted away and in bad shape. I was assured they would replace with new wood and remove the rotted junk. I was so shocked to see they left the rotted wood and just covered it up. Then they took it amongst themselves to cut a piece of frame wood without my authorization. This has caused a huge stress problem in my life, along with huge inconvenience and 3 work days lost. I need someone In corporate to reach out to me and come to a resolution. I have pictures to show and events timeline . I am beyond disappointed with ARS.

Next thing I knew, he was bringing in equipment and began to work on the problem. A short time later, my drain was cleared to allow water to flow again. Gives me peace of mind knowing professionals like Andy are put there.

ARS charged me $325 and did NOT fix anything. They mapped my plumbing then left. I asked for at least a sketch of where my plumbing pipes are, they would not do that, all they said was they would credit that $325 towards the $51,000 charge for replacing all my plumbing. Apparently I am expecting too much to just have a sketch of where my pipes are. I hired another company who is doing the needed repairs much cheaper.

ARS rescue rooter is not reputable. Less than 2 weeks ago they cleared a plumbing line, after I called related to a TV ad. 1st they increased the cost, stating “that price is for the Houston market”. While here, they notified me that we need a 15k repair. I’ve had the line cleared before without this scam. Then, they did not replace the sewer cap, allowing sewage & paper to pour out onto the yard. When I notified them, they indicated they left the cap off for “my protection”. Then proceeded to tell me I will have to pay a new service charge, & they will not be cleaning up the sewage, as this was our fault for creating a new blockage.

I only worked with ARS because of home depot purchase of central AC unit. Today I called because I smelled wire burning from the attic area. My husband went to the attic, hear sparks and could see a visible burn mark on the box. The scheduler was rude almost from the beginning of the conversation. The scheduler yelled at me repeatedly stating they can come out July 6 or not at ALL. Now I'm trying to explain to her that I'm afraid of my house burning down because an installer error but she stated to me you don't want me to tell you what you can do. Now in order to be seen as a priority customer I need to pay for this $10 a month plan or $180 plan. And because of the extreme heat and their business schedule (which I understand) I may be seen next day after speaking with the third scheduler. I asked if I had another company come out will I be reimbursed and the answer to that is I'm just the scheduler. I spoke with three different schedule just to get a little help. And I asked for a supervisor and even asked for Rene from Quality to be emailed to contact me. I was told very rudely she will not contact until 3-5 business days. I ask for a manager or supervisor. I was told there is no one for me to speak too.P.s...Ok, the Technician Ricky Rodriguez came over to fix the problem same day after paying the $180 bucks and he is just as rude as the scheduler. My husband asked Ricky why did we experience the burn out of this item and Ricky looked at my husband then stated I'm not here to argue with you. And I'm not Houdini. I can not answer that for you. These things just happened. Man what a experience I tell from start to finish terrible. I guess asking him this question offended him.They charged me the $180 twice. I hope this nightmare end. I will never use thus company again.

I've requested an AC diagnostic via Home Depot, and this company called me. They scheduled an appointment for an on-site diagnostics between 12-4. I have received a call saying that they are going to be running late a little, and I said that would be fine. After a while, I received another call saying that they won't be able to make it, and if I would be fine with rescheduling for another day. Things happen, so I asked them to reschedule it for the next day, so they scheduled it for Saturday between 12-2.Saturday comes by, and instead of taking care of other business, we've waited at home, because we've had an appointment with them. I did not receive any calls from them saying that they are on their way, etc. , so I decided to give them a call around 2PM to see if they are running late again, and it went to their voicemail. And nobody showed up that day.I don't know if there is a communication problem between their main office in Houston and their local offices, but if you set up an appointment with them, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Then inspection of my thermostat which kept sending signals of more needed repairs revealed a wiring disconnect in the mechanism. A new Google thermostat was installed.

We were told that the coil inside needed to be replaced, which would cost over $2000 just for the labor (the part was covered by the warranty because we just replaced it less than 3 years ago). We got a second opinion and determined that ARS misdiagnosed the issue. It took 15 minutes and a lot less money to fix the real issue. In addition, ARS never even called to schedule the work that they said we needed. Just terrible customer service. We will never use ARS again.

I used ARS Roto Rooter to get my HVAC units serviced before summer. They were being pushed through Home Depot and I was offered a deal for the service. The technician was nice enough but of course he found $800 worth of repairs that were required to prevent my system from becoming irreparably damaged. I shelled out the money and everything was fine. The service was supposed to include cleaning and maintenance but neither system was cleaned at all. I then had another problem less than 2 months later and my AC wasn’t cooling down at all. I had ARS come back out and was quoted $2000 dollars to fix it. I then had a second opinion come out the following day and he let me know that it was a $20 part that took 5 minutes to replace. I will NEVER use ARS again and you shouldn’t either.

Was signed up by a representative at local Home depot. They are rescheduling appointment from past 3 days and no one ever shows up. You call the customer care and they say they will check with dispatch team and dispatch team never picks up any calls. Everyday, they tell me service will happen next day, but no body shows up. Beware, if you have any urgent issues,Don't book an appointment with this company. Highly unprofessional

Called at 7pm last night for an emergency repair to my water main line. They said they could have someone at my home between 8am and noon the next day. They called at 11am to say it would be apx. 1 hour before they could make it out. They never showed up. They did call later and say they were not able to make it. However, this is completely unethical for an emergency repair to say you can come and then not show up. Stay away.

Although the representatives were on time and willing to answer all questions before installation, I was left with an uncomfortable uncertainty. No warranty document was given to me nor any owner’s manual or maintenance guide to help remind me or show me how to maintain any components of the over $12,000 unit I purchased. I wasn’t even given an instructional manual to work the new smart thermostat (which I need since I’m far from being a techie). I don’t even have a final receipt of services. Nobody came by after installation to assure our satisfaction nor inspect any portion of the installation. I hope I don’t come to regret my purchase later.

I’ve always used ARS for my plumbing and hvac needs. I had an issue with my ac this past week and was charged 300 to clean out the drain and then they found my capacitor was faulty. They wanted to charge another 300 to replace the part and the technician said I was getting a deal cause it’s normally 500. I looked it up and the part that needed to be replaced was at most 20. I ended up replacing it myself in 10 mins. I never would have expected such predatory behavior from this company and am rethinking my continued relationship with them.

I used ARS because of their affiliation with Home Depot. The sales rep was knowledgeable but poor follow through when there was a question about new placement of the filter. There were lose ends related to the installation that have yet to be resolved. My previous unit had the filter slide in under the unit. The ARS system did not have the same filter placement. I asked installer about it upon finishing install but he was rushed & not helpful. Did not take time to go over new thermostat functions or turn on system to assure it operated properly. I have called & promised I would get assistance but it has been 3 days and nothing. If it is not resolved in another 24 hours I will contact Home Depot.

BAIT AND SWITCH BLATANTLY FALSE ADVERTISINGI responded to an ARS ad currently running in Austin on the morning television broadcast news for an AC tune up for $49. My central air was not working and I was very sure it was the capacitor at the compressor. The subject capacitor is available online through the manufacturer for $15. Considering the service tech was already out her for the tune-up, the most, the very most, I expected I would be charged, was $100.$589 for a $15 part. The unit side panel was already off and open. Removing and replacing a capacitor takes no more than 60 seconds max.THESE PEOPLE ARE EXTORTIONISTS. STAY AWAY.

I was not satisfied with ARS for several reasons:1)First, they RAISED THE PRICE on me after I paid a $2000 deposit to start the job, but before they started the work.After I paid a deposit to start, they increased the price from $4000 to $6000. They told me it looks like we might have to dig under the side of the foundation to fix this, and doing that is more costly. The ground in this area can also be very rocky, so we need to account for a potentially more difficult job and to subcontract people to dig under the foundationThey said it looks like it might be 1 or 2 feet under the edge of the foundation. So I asked them to provide photographs to me to demonstrate that the job warranted a $2000 upcharge for this. (They never provided any photos of the work.)2.)ARS did not follow through on several specific requests that I made prior to the job starting.I asked for pictures of the work to demonstrate that the job actually warranted the $2000 upcharge. Before the job started I asked that they show the digging and if tunneling was performed. No pictures of the work, or digging under the foundation was ever provided.Also, I asked for video of the lines being camera'ed. Despite two sets of camera'ing the line being performed, I was not provided any of the videos until I refused to make the final payment for 3 months. They finally sent someone out to provide a video, but still never provided any photos of the actual work being performed.3.)ARS also quoted me $1250 for a toilet flange replacement job that I had replaced by someone else for $550.4.)ARS expressed a rapid turnaround, but then did not start when they said they would.I hired ARS because I was going out of town within about 8 days after the issue occurred. They assured me they could have it completed in 3-4 days. I would not have agreed to a higher priced upcharge, and not getting a 2nd quote, except for ARS promising a rapid turnaround. A week later, they had not started, and I had to go out of town (which is why I asked for pictures of the work being performed in my absence).5.)They also never told the tenant that the issue was fixed.A month after the repair had been completed, the tenant asked me “Are we OK to use our toilet yet?” The tenant had not been informed that the issue had been resolved.PS. The voice recording on their call says something like if you're not happy we'll do everything to make it right...I already spoke with several people. I said that in the absence of photos that show that the $2000 up-charge was warranted, I would be happy paying the original $4000 quote.Nobody took me up on that request, so I'm leaving this review.

The work performed by Service Technician 1811 was both professional and accurate in terms of isolating multiple issues with a tankless water heater install. Unknown to me initially was major changes would need to occur with the existing plumbing and the time it took for the install was longer than expected but ARS installers completed the work and ARS service technicians were able to refine and complete the job to my expectations. I can honestly say that all the technicians and installers who worked on my set up put a tremendous amount of effort during and after to finalize the job. Thank you for the commitment they have for the trades in plumbing and electrical and I would use there services again. I would caution to ask as many questions as possible though to sales to get both a clear idea of the scope of work and how any obstacles would be addressed.

ARS was able to dispatch a plumbing technician to unclog the drain of our house on the same day. We were very happy about the quality of the initial work, especially that was close to the Thanksgiving holiday. During the initial visit, the technician ran a camera and found tree roots growing in the sewer line, which requires additional repair. Mr. Robert Woodward took over the case. Robert was very knowledgeable and gave us an estimate on the same day. When we decided to delay the repair until after holidays, Robert was patient and understanding. What happened later proved that we made a mistake not to go ahead with the major repair immediately as suggested. On December 29th, our drain backs up again. I called Robert in the early morning of the 30th, and he immediately made calls to secure a spot in a very tight holiday schedule. We are very thankful since this is a significant amount of work (required 2 technicians), and it was carried out on New Year's Eve. Robert ran the camera again after the repair. He even came back on New Year's Day to remove all the rocks from the digging. We are extremely satisfied with the quality and response time of the service and we highly recommend ARS. Thank you so much, Mr. Robert Woodward!

I called to have my drain unclogged and was texted a number to call. I called the number and the line is disconnected. I had to look up the number on google to find it. After I scheduled my appointment I then received 2 more calls asking me to set an appointment to which I told them I already had one(you’d think they’d be able to check that). They told me that the serviceman would call 30 minutes prior to arrival. My window was 1-5pm and at 5:30 I had to call and see where he was. I wasted 4 hours for this guy and no update was given that he’d be so late. I’ll give him credit, he fixed my issue but he smelled of cigarettes the entire time he was going the job which was highly unprofessional. When it came time to pay, he didn’t go over the invoice with me and just requested the card. Overall poor quality of professionalism.Edit: the first time I called them, I had an electrical issue and was bumped after waiting for 3 hours because someone else had an “emergency.” They made me wait until almost the last possible minute to tell me to reschedule.

We used this company. They did a great job. They installed the same day. The only thing was we had to wait almost 2 weeks to turn on the central air bc we had to wait for their electrician to come (scheduling error) instead of them being there the same day or 1-2 days after installment. Nonetheless, they still did a great job.

I booked an appointment with ARS to fix a leak in my house. The appointment setup was prompt. I was told there would be a fixed service fee of $59 to give me a quote of the actual problem. This seemed fair, since leaks are tricky. The person showed up within the stipulated window. So far it was going according to plan. From here on though unfortunately it went all down hill.The person did a very cursory look around. Said he would need to do a pressure gauge test to identify the leak. And said it’ll cost me $260 to do the test. This is where I asked him about the initial service fee and what it was for? He said that’s for the visit, and $260 is to give you the actual quote to fix the problem. Also quoted me $410 to recap a slightly damaged pipe which was not even connected to the real issue. This was a red flag. A recapping of a dead pipe should take less than 30 secs which I was planning on doing myself anyway.Absolutely horrible experience. This is a scam to get gullible people to just pay whatever plumbers are asking for. They know customers are usually desperate when it comes to leaks and such. No integrity or work ethic left.

He arrived on time, figured out where the clog was very quickly, and got it cleaned out in less than an hour. The price was around $250, which seems fine to me for emergency service. The technician was super nice, great at explaining what he was doing and what the cost would be up-front, and he wore a mask.

I have never been so dissatisfied with a business in my time as a home owner. Technician failed to show up on two separate days, the first without a phone call, the second not until 5:30 pm. I was assured they would show up the next morning at 9am and did not hear anything until after 11 when I was told they had the wrong parts and could not even discuss rescheduling until the following week. More frustrating is that no one I’ve spoken to there seems to have any concern with the poor quality of service i have received. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere for your plumbing needs.Edit:I had sincerely hoped that after Renee got involved I would be able to edit this post about how this was handled promptly once the right people were informed however that was NOT the case.Renee was able to get me another appointment scheduled however par for the course, the technician no-called / no-showed that one as well (fourth time it needed to be rescheduled). I informed Renee of this but have not heard from her since.Finally after 13 days and four missed appointments, they finally came out to complete the install. Then in the most bizarre fashion at 4:15, the tech had to take lunch after which point he would come back and complete paper work. Just under an hour later he returned only to park in front of my house and sit on the phone for another 40 minutes. All of this to delay the two minute process of digitally signing my name on the work order.

I follow up two weeks later and he calls later that day with a $5,600 quote that seems higher than mentioned in person so we ask for a supervisor to look it over, an hour later, John calls back and says, oh sorry we can’t get it down any further it’s actually going to be $17,000 TO INSTALL A NEW WATER HEATER.

NOT happy with them AT ALL. I was having issues with my AC unit. They recommended a full replacement of heating and AC system. I paid extra for them to perform a full diagnostic of the entire system just to be sure. They gave me a whole list of issues with the system and still recommended replacement. I had to pay $8,500 for full replacemnt of the system. It was to include replacement of both thermostats. They did not replace the thermostats. and even after full replacement of both systems, and AC was still not working. It took took them 8 months to figure out why AC was still not working. I was having same issues as before replacement. They replaced dampers in the attic and a few other things non-related to full AC install and finally AC was working. So now, i believe i didn't need a new AC after all. If they had just gone in the attic to replace the other parts, my previous AC would have probably been fine.Additionally, now it is 30 degrees outside and my downstairs heater is not working. They have a money back guarantee, but everytime I ask them about. they give me the run around.

Kyle was able to maintain a casual conversation while focusing on installing my garbage disposal which he did easily within the time frame he said it would take. He took care to test and verify the installation went well and the disposal worked as expected. It can be difficult finding a service person who cares about his clients and/or his job and I felt Kyle was able to express both in his demeanor and focus to not only his work but to me while I waited around for him to complete the installation.

Technicians installing the AC unit were very efficient and quick with installing the unit. They were professional and took extra steps to ensure no damage was done to the interior of our home.However, a bathroom sink linked to the AC drainage was clogged and the technicians did what they could to unclog, but unable to do so,I was advised a plumber has been dispatched to address the clog.After making several calls and advised a supervisor is engaged to ensure someone would be out to resolve the issue, I called my salesperson who instead of personally handling the issue gave me the dispatch phone number to handle myself. I called the number and again promised a supervisor was engaged and to resolve the issue. Hours later (830p)after no response, I called my salesperson again and after asking for a senior manager name and number he took action and someone the next day finally resolved the clogged sink issue. My disappointment and made it clear to those I spoke to was I had to wake up every 2 hours to bale water out of the sinking for the water continued to rise. Without baling the sink would have overflowed.I basically felt after paying a lot of money for a new 5 ton AC until ARS basically took my money and ran. The salesperon promised outstanding service post install and have gotten off to a bad spot.

I'm shocked at his apparent x-ray vision inside the pipe and tell him I need to get a second estimate. I call another plumber who in 10 minutes augers the blockage and I pay the bill of 159.00...

Alexander and Caleb showed up on time, they were beyond professional, and the job they completed (vastly exceeding my standards) was exemplary. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for superior products, expert installation and 100% customer satisfaction. My family and I are beyond pleased with our complete new AC system and NEST thermostat. ARS more than saved the day before the true Texas summer heat hit. Much appreciated and to Alexander and Caleb, you men are top notch in my book!

Do not recommend. They stood me up on two separate occasions last month and both times the customer service was terrible. I asked for a manger to call me and never heard from anyone. We used this company for 4 years and over time, the customer service and the work declined. They are over priced and try to up charge you on everything. We even had a technician tell us we had a bad fuse on our air conditioning unit, and he offered to do the work off the books at a lower rate. When I asked to see the fuse and had him show me, he said he was mistaken and that the fuse was actually fine. Rip off.

Salesperson Quinton and installer Sam were both very knowledgeable and professional. I received good communications from office and the doc u sign process was easy. Installer showed up, as scheduled, on a Saturday and called an hour before his arrival. May have been able to find less expensive labor but quality and customer service go a long way in my book.

I called ARS because my bathroom sink started backing up with water from the AC condensate line. The p-trap was clean, so I knew the clog had to be deeper in the line. My landlord asked me to use Liquid Plumber before using a plumbing service, so I did (grudgingly). The sink drained on its own, and the plumber from ARS came out the next day. And so begins a week-long saga that involved three different service calls and no resolution of the issue. Read on if you want the details.First, the plumber arrived nearly two hours past the appointment window. Instead of really examining anything, he just shined a flashlight on the p-trap and turned on the bathroom sink. When the water drained, he said there was no clog and nothing he could do. I told him I would like him to go ahead and clean or snake the line, because I was afraid the Liquid Plumber would only be a temporary fix. He said he didn't want to clean the line because it would be pointless and cost me a lot of money. He also said my issue was probably with the AC, not the plumbing, and went outside to call his supervisor. He told me he would be right back. Twenty minutes later, he still hadn't returned, so I looked outside. He was gone.I was totally confused, so I called ARS to ask what I was supposed to do next. They scheduled me for a service call the next day. About a half hour later, I got a call saying a technician was on his way to my house. (Apparently, ARS and its technicians are not good at communicating with each other.) I had other things to do, so I declined and said I'd just keep the next day's appointment, as scheduled.The next day, an AC technician came to my house. He spent less than ten minutes looking around, and said the evaporator coils were bad. He turned the AC off at the breaker and told me not to use it, or it would freeze up and eventually burn out. He left, saying he would have someone out to fix it in two hours. Problem: ARS failed to call or send anyone. I had to call them the next day to find out what was going on.By the time the third technician came out (several days later), my landlord was convinced ARS was trying to upsell me, and he would only OK a blowout of the condensate line. The AC tech did blow out the condensate line, but in the process he reclogged the main line at the sink. Now my sink won't drain again.So, after a plumber and two AC techs---and what ended up being a week without AC---I'm back to square one, with a clogged sink. I feel like a lot of this could have been avoided if the first plumber had just cleaned the line like I asked. My landlord has asked me never to call ARS again, so now I'll be looking for another plumbing company to fix my sink.

My fiancé and I were having issues with our AC unit constantly turning off and not cooling our house. Fearing the worst, we scheduled an inspection with ARS through Home Depot. Mike F. with ARS was at our house the next day, on time, and carefully performed a very thorough inspection on both the unit and the compressor outside. He found our condensate line was clogged, unclogged it for us, and got us up and running within minutes. He explained all the points of the inspection and what they meant to us as the homeowners. He was personable, very knowledgeable, answered all my million questions, and made recommendations that we will be following up on this weekend. Overall great experience and we will absolutely have ARS and Mike F. back for our annual inspections.

I called ARS because I thought my plumbing vent was blocked and was creating a bad smell. When the technician (Ricky) came, he immediately identified the smell and let me know that it was a gas leak! He brought out a tool to test the gas in the air and he was exactly correct. Major gas leak! I called the fire department and Ricky stayed back about an hour helping to identify and solve the problem. If it wasn’t for Ricky’s skills, this could have ended very bad for us. Ricky did an amazing job, professional, caring and very good at his job. Thank you very much for coming out and we will definitely use your team again in the future.

I paid $8,000 for a new AC unit and heating system, and my thermostat reads 71, and yet it’s still 85 in my house right now and won’t get any colder. AC unit will turn on for about 20 seconds and then immediately turn back off. I need someone to fix this immediately or my money back.***UPDATE***I left the above review 9 months ago. 9 months later this BRAND NEW system they installed still does not work. They were supposed to replace the thermostats and did not. It is 30 degrees outside and my heater does not work. Based on their recommendation back in April 2021, I had the entire A/C and heating system replaced by them and neither have worked since. I have had them come out multiple times over the past 10 months. None of their techs bring a ladder. Several of them check the A/C filters and say I need to change the filter. I change my filters every month. They CLAIM to have a 100% money back satisfaction guarantee, but every time I ask them for my money back they just want to send another technician.I am at my wits end

I hired a ARS to come and service my AC unit and they told me that it would take $1300 to fix, but that they did not recommend repair b/c my unit was at the end of it’s life and 20 yrs old. They instead recommended replacing the unit at a cost of over $10,000. I then called Christianson‘s for a second opinion. They replaced a part on the system, charged me $300, and got it up and running great. It’s been working well ever since and I did not have to replace the unit. I felt like the ARS service tech was not interested in doing a less expensive repair, but was hard selling a replacement unit instead. The tech said he had 40 yrs experience which was impressive on the surface, but disappointing given the eventual outcome.

Technician tried to take advantage of us instead of just solving a simple problem. Our blower needed to be replaced - that was it. Instead of just focusing on the blower replacement, he said the capacitor was bad (it wasn't - just replaced 1 year ago), said we needed a compressor saver installed (nope - the system is only 6.5 years old), and recommended a few other items for upgrade (UV light, surge protectors, drain, etc). Then presented us with 3 pricing options based on whether or not we joined their annual subscription and if we act now blah blah blah. Came off as a pushy salesman. Well, instead of following our gut, we agreed to 3 items totaling a whopping $1800 (blower, capacitor, compressor saver/starter). A month later, our compressor wouldn't kick on. We had to call them back and when he came out, he said our compressor was out and recommended a full system replacement. I had a feeling it wasn't out, and that the compressor saver he installed was causing the issue. Sure enough, I had another company come out for a 2nd opinion (Stan's). They unhooked the compressor saver and the system started right up. Everything checked out with no problems. Saved $10k by not replacing our system! I will never use ARS again and I recommend you don't either.

To start, I was billed for a two man crew and only one plumber showed up at my home and was there for 8 long hours. He cut a whole in my wall and didn't tell me about it. Then left without repairing it. I called, and called and called, filed a complaint with the BBB and Home Depot, until 3 weeks later before someone was sent to fix the 4 by 12 hole. He'd also cut another hole in my siding and told me that he'd seal it when completed, but of course didn't do that either. I had to call the ARS office to get him to come back and seal that hole. The plumber did not place the screen (comes with the system) in the air intake pipe to keep the bugs and debris out of the tankless water heater filter. It's now been 10-weeks and the job is not finished. Dispatch sends text they are arriving between 10 and 2, on Wed, arrival time is 3:30pm. Supposed to be here today before 4:00, had to call, we'll call you back. Haven't heard anything thus far at 2:00pm.

My husband and I have used ARS for the majority of our plumbing needs. We have had our house completely replumed and it didn’t come cheaply, nor did they give us any service for free. When we pay for a service, the expectation is that the problem is repaired. We had to get them out several times for the same complaint…water on the floor and smell of rotten eggs.I would caution any consumer seeking to do business with ARS. I am not satisfied with their business model and lack of detail to customer service.

I called ARS on 4/08/21 for an annual service contract (checking A/C in the spring and heater in the fall). I made an appointment for 4/12 from 12-4 PM because it was forecast to be a warm day, which is necessary to check the A/C properly. ARS withdrew $180 from my credit card to cover the annual service contract. On 4/12 I got up extra early so I could put in a full 8 hours of work before noon. ARS called me around 2 PM and said they could not make it because of some kind of equipment trouble. For the next two weeks the weather fluctuated from hot to cold until finally a new appointment was scheduled for 4/26. On that day I again got up extra early and worked a full day to be ready at noon. ARS never showed up and never called. I finally called the head office at 4 PM and asked what was going on. They didn't know anything, so I asked for a $180 refund to my credit card or a check. As of today (5/01) I'm still waiting.5/06/21: I am tired of calling Renee every day. It's not her fault. I have reported ARS to the Better Business Bureau. I want my $180 back.

So incredibly happy we called ARS and had them come out to check up on our AC units. We had another company come out a week before, and they were super pushy and basically told us the world was ending unless we replaced both our units ASAP. But ARS was honest and walked us through the potential issues that could arise (not dire like the other company stated) and gave us options and educated us. I was so happy with our visit from Peter that normally we would call to get a third quote from somewhere else but instead we will always hire ARS. Highly highly recommend.

Quick install, so quick I almost got whiplash. Installers were respectful of property, and cleaned up debris, and took everything with them. Overall company communication is lacking, quick to take money, slow on refunds, no itemized invoice provided, so I have no idea what the cost of items vs labor was.Overall the positive out weighs the negatives, and I would use them again.

Nice enough kid who showed up. He explained that our water heater was old. I knew that. I inspected it myself and found that the solder at the input had cracked, creating a slow leak. He explained to me that the input, output and tank were all leaking. For all three to happen simultaneously seemed a little suspect, but I let him try to sell me anyway. I was quoted $2,700. for a new 50 gallon water heater and install. I asked how much to install a unit that I purchased myself. He told me $1,500. ?That’s around $50 per minute by my estimation. So.... in conclusion, find another service provider, unless you don’t mind paying two to three times what it should cost the average homeowner.

Well their regular maintenance service was fine as long as nothing was wrong. As soon as our hvac drain line got clogged and began flooding the house they blamed the new hot water heater (not true), plumbers (not true) and claimed it wasn't their issue to fix (not true). It took 3 or 4 techs visiting before one finally did the actual job and fixed the problem (unsurprisingly this tech shared he was leaving the company because this had become normal). Now we have water damaged walls and floors due to their negligence and laziness and their quality assurance manager has been useless and won't follow up with us on repairs or compensation. We would never hire them again.

She kept us up to date with all developments and how they can proceed with the service , repair and maintenance.

I actually had to use plumbing and hvac services the same day. AC fix made the underlying plumbing issue worse. Technician agreed to come out later in the evening rather than let it wait till the next day. Seems like an obvious move to make some overtime however they didn't charge an additional fee since my issue started earlier and the technician attempted to fix the issue but didn't have the right tools. What I liked best was how they explained how to fix the problem in a way that made it easy to understand and would allow me to perform some general maintance on my own equipment. I'm sure there is data some where that shows customers are more likely to use your services again when they feel like they can trust you, but it also could mean they don't want families to sit around sweating to death in their own home trying to cool off by splashing material filled water on their face. Maybe equipment that is cared for is easier to diagnose, repair, and replace. Maybe it's some other reason. Maybe it's a combination of some sort. Pedro and Brice? (terrible memory and couldn't read name on receipt) did a great job and I'm mostly mad at myself for not being able to plunge a sink for longer than an hour. Both were courteous and respectful my property. Sense of humor but stayed focused on task at hand. Polite and knowledgeable enough to not only fix the issue but explain the issue in terms that a lay person can easily understand. Will use again and recommend to close friends and family.

ARS was the first company to respond to us for service. Our compressor burned up and I knew it was time to replace the entire system since it was old and pieced together. Alex met with me to review my system and was courteous, knowledgeable, and interested in designing a system to fit exactly what we wanted. He did not oversell us and tailored a system specifically for us and also gave us options. Alex patiently answered all our questions and did heat load calcs and measured our flows before and after to insure our system was perfectly sized and working at max efficiency and max comfort. His engineered approach put me at ease especially considering the sizable investment we were making. Our system was installed in one day with some follow up and rework to make sure everything was serviceable and operating great. Alex was involved through the entire process and even worked with the installers at times to make improvements. The system looks great, is quiet, and feels wonderful. I am very happy with the service and system I received. I highly recommend Alex to anyone needing some AC work. You will not be disappointed.

We had tried a different plumbing service that sent two guys who did not clear the drain, talked a lot of nonsense and charged us anyway, expensive lesson to be learned. ARS was reasonably priced, stayed till they got the job done, and gave us a warranty for their work. We will never call anyone but this company again, Dominick and Logan have made us customers for life!

So my father's water heater went out 04/13. These ppl told him they would come out and change it the next day, after charging him $2,200!..Needless to say on 04/14 they called my father and told him that it would have to wait until the 18th! My father had to go the whole weekend without hott water! & now it's Monday the day they said they'd get it done, guess what?! Now they're trying to reschedule AGAIN!This company is terrible!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE @%#HOLES!!

My original service window was 8-12 which got canceled because the person who I spoke to put down the wrong phone number . Had I not called to confirm I would never have known it was canceled. After rescheduling I had to lose a whole day’s work to wait on the repair person who showed up at 3:30 . I was charged $350.00 for replacing the capacitor but not given any itemization on my receipt. The service call was 79.99 according to the person who I made the appointment with. So I assume I paid 270 for a capacitor and about 20 minutes of labor. I believe that to be a bit pricey and will be more wary next time I need something repaired.You should itemize your receipts for your customers if you want them to trust your services.

Tim with ARS Rescue Rooter did an amazing job replacing the circuit board on my furnace. Tim arrived shortly after his call. Came masked and gloved up. Left everything clean and tidy. Tested and verified the furnace worked great. The cost was very reasonable. I will use ARS Rescue Roofer and request Tim for service again.

I scheduled an appointment last Thursday with ARS for an AC service. My AC is not cooling properly and cannot reach the set temperature, and I also have a plumbing issue with a possible pipe clog and the water dripping out constantly from the hot water heater outside overflow spout.My appointment was today with a 4 hour window from 4pm-8 pm. I made arrangements with work to leave early and was fortunate to have coworkers cover my patients at the hospital while I made the 20 mile drive home to be present for the service window. At 4:45 pm I received a call from the technician Ethan. He told me he had been running service calls all day and wouldn’t be able to make my appointment. He said the earliest he would come out to help me would be next Friday.Unable to reschedule with work again this week, I explained I was also a customer needing service and how could he cancel at the beginning of my scheduled window when he had 4 hours to get help from another technician? Ethan hung up on me.I called the main number and was transferred to a manager. She also said she would not send anyone to my house to repair my AC as “the weather had gotten warmer and they were too busy helping customers with AC issues.”She then said she would transfer me to someone who could help me, disconnected the call before I could reply and transferred me to a voicemail. Poorly ran business with no integrity and absolutely no customer service.Use with caution!

We had a diagnostician come out to look at our which was not working AC. He gave us a quote of 2,800 for a compressor and $462 for an electrical surge protector. The next day I got a call saying a technician was on their way to replace our AC unit despite my not having made the appointment. I quickly told them I was still shopping around and did not want the repair yet. That evening I had another AC technician from another company come our. On site, the man told me a wire had come loose and rewired it for $160, and then left. My AC works great and I didn't have to replace the entire unit as suggested by ARS Rescue Rooter. Shady!

I was linked to ARS when calling the Home Depot 800 number to get a water heater installed. The initial contact was frustrating. They wouldn't give me any information at all. The Home Depot sales guy said he thought installs started around $150 if it was simple, but ARS would not discuss any numbers. We scheduled for 8:30am-12:30pm the next day to get an estimate with the promise that I could get an install that day if I approved the quote. After waiting 4 hours, I got a call at 12:30 saying a tech would arrive at 1ish. I had cleared my whole morning and had a meeting at 1pm. The tech rushed over and arrived at 12:50. He was a nice guy (the only reason I gave them a star), but he didn't have the authority to even provide a quote. He had to take pics and send them to a supervisor to develop a quote. We had no answer by 1, so he promised a call after 2pm. I never heard from him, so I called at 4:30. At that point, he gave me a quote of $1,600 plus. He noted that their smallest fee for an install is $850. If I had known that, I would not have wasted my morning waiting for them. (I had already drained and cleared out the old heater and bought a new heater plus accessories. They were sitting a few yards from an easily accessible heater closet with ample space.)I told the tech that I was frustrated that they wasted my time and his by not sharing the minimum amount up front. I would not consider paying that much for so little. He explained that they don't like to tell people the minimum charge up front because they want the opportunity to explain things personally. So they are willing to waste 5 hours of my day so they can try to sell me their services. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I will never call ARS for services again.

The salesman is a good talker. He talks about what all is going to happen. When the times comes for the actual install, it doesn’t happen and when you bring it to the techs attention, they just say the salesman has no idea what they are talking about. Not impressed one bit by this company. Honestly, go with someone else.Let’s update this review one year later. Conveniently past their “one year labor” guarantee. System is short cycling. They came out and said it’s the thermostat. First they tried to say they didn’t install it, they did. Then they said oops we did but it’s going to cost labor because it’s only good for one year. $289 to replace the thermostat in under 10 mins. The box it came in says the thermostat would cost anyone else who didn’t have parts under warranty $579, I looked the part up and the most expensive I could find was $120. Tech kept complaining about how late it was, sorry I was working during the day. Everything was rushed, especially when asking me what setting I wanted on the thermostat. Did that fix the problem? Nope.Called this morning and they said they would be out after 5pm. The first appt they called and asked if they could come out sooner, I said no because I’m working. Now this appt they call about the same time and say they can’t come at all. Asked about the weekend and nope. I’m busy. Most days I’m busy so when I make an appt, it’s because I have the time. I had the shuffle things around the last two days to make these appts happen but the weekend is a no go. So we will wait until Monday to see if this and now a new problem can be fixed. Honestly run, I’ve never heard of units crashing and burning after a year. Well now you have because I’m living it.

Service was ok but the tech found that my UV Air Purifier that was installed on Oct 2020 was not working. Tech had no information on when it could/would be repaired only said that I should have purchased a different system. Again ARS sold and installed this system and it failed in less that 19 weeks and they have no idea when it will be repaired. I’m waiting on someone from ARS to contact we with a solution. Not a happy ARS customer... I have worked with ARS since 2003 and I feel that they are dropping the ball on this warranty/repair.

This company installed my tankless water heater a few months ago before this winter storm. When they installed it, the technician didn’t finish the job. According to the tech, he was not a electrician and someone else needed to finish the job. The water heater was installed outside, but I had through run an extension chord through the window for it to run. This was supposed to be overnight, but it took a week of leaving my house unsecured and many phone long calls before they even acknowledged that they left the job undone. Finally they sent an electrician to finish the job.Then came the winter storm...The pipes that ARS installed burst. They did insulate the pipes, but the pipes burst regardless. Also, gas was leaking bad. I immediately shut off the water and gas lines and called ARS. They came out as soon as it safe, but they sent the same technician. He removed the insulation and discovered that it was his handiwork that caused the pipes to burst. He then slyly fixed it enough to cover his tracks and then he yelled at me and blamed me for the water heating breaking because I cut off the gas to the water heater. He said there is nothing that ARS can do because I voided all warranties. Then he left without leaving me any other option and not even a quote for me to pay it in full. I do not believe I did the wrong thing by shutting off the water and gas, but if I voided warranty, I was willing to pay in full. I found it strange that he left immediately without leaving a quote or setting a follow up appointment after trying to scare me away as a customer.

We went through the Home Depot website to purchase a new water heater, and asked for an install estimate. ARS were the installers to contact me back and set up an appointment later that day. Jim Schaffner came out and gave the estimate, and set me up with Thomas Howard to come out the next morning for an install. Both were great to work with; Thomas did fantastic, clean work on the install and showed us his work throughout the appointment so that we could see how it was going. He has a great personality and was fun to talk to as well. It's only been a couple of days since the install, but the heater is keeping the water hot so all is well!

Damaged my home. I was hooked up thru Home Depot for a water heater install. $$$$. During install, hit and cracked my ac drain and that resulted in water leak/mold/stained bathroom ceiling. They came back and repaired the drain pipe, The ceiling damage remained. The employee said repairs of mistakes come out of their pocket, took pity and repaired ourselves.

I went into Lowes to price water heaters after my unit failed. Lowes referred me to their third party vendor ARS Rescue Rooter Austin. The company sent Collin Bagaline to my residence for an initial estimate.This representative lied in order to charge me an outrageous amount of money to replace the water heater. He told me that the unit would need multiple electrical and drain code changes to pass the city inspection. I talked to a city inspector, and he told me that these statements were untrue and that my current setup was within code and would pass a subsequent inspection.I read the contract and Lowes does not require payment upfront, but after the work has been satisfactorily completed. Collin Bagaline told me that Lowes requires payment up front. Bottom line, I would not recommend doing business with this representative or company. Lowes is ruining its reputation by referring people to this company.If you need your water heater replace, buy it yourself and have a local plumber install it. Or just hire a local plumber.

We called ARS because we had a problem with our upstairs AC unit. We called ARS because they had installed our units in 2008 and had been servicing them since. Peter Wabbel was assigned to us. He arrived promptly within the time frame we were given. He provided a complete analysis of the situation with the upstairs unit as well as the downstairs unit. He provided 3 options for solving our problem with zero pressure on which we should choose. He was kind, courteous, funny at times and at no way pushing any solution. We chose not just replacing the coil but doing a system upgrade. Our choice was mainly based on age of our system and cost. It was a very good exchange and dealing with him was pleasant and professional.

Robert did a great job today! ARS replaced my HVAC coil 5 days ago. Said I had a “leak.” After they left the AC never really cooled very well. After spending last night with the AC running and the house not cooling below 78 degrees I had had enough. Called ARS and told them get back out here and fix my AC! Robert showed up and found the system was low on refrigerant and detected a leak in one of the capillary tubes. He said he would try to fix and did! Made sure there were no more leaks and recharged the system. Now it’s working! I’ve got a 20 degree difference in temp from the inbound side to the outbound side (76 and 56). Robert was what I needed last week! Thank you Robert!!!!!!!!

Sam and Stan did a great job replacing our water heater. Our water heater is up in the attic so it cost more to replace but you get what you pay for. They were thorough and double checked a lot of stuff to make sure the new water heater would fit. All the connections appear to be high quality. My only complaint with a ARS is not with Sam or Stan but with the installation schedulers. I repeatedly told them that I would like the water heater picked up from Home Depot but the message was never conveyed to Sam and Stan. Sam and Stan we’re both very professional about it and did not complain and went ahead and picked it up from Home Depot without any problems. I would definitely recommend Sam and Stan again but make sure you coordinate everything through them when getting a quote.

Tried to use them b/c of $89 ad but when they came it was not $89, but rather they said $407 to clear a toilet because they needed to scope inside, etc. I told them no thanks, filled a bucket with a bunch of water, and cleared it myself in 10 minutes. They lost out by being greedy. Many (most?) plumbers in Austin, sadly, can’t be trusted to have customer best interests in mind.

Although ARS and the estimator Collin seemed very polite at our first meeting, everything went downhill from there. At the estimate appointment, Collin made a mistake and provided a quote for installing 2 tankless water heaters and all the gas and vent updates that were required. I made a 50% deposit based on that quote. When the installer arrived (a week later by the way, far longer than Collin had stated the appointment would be), he realized he could not install 2 tankless water heaters because of the diameter of our gas line. This is precisely why we had an estimate appointment. Collin should have done the sufficient review of the situation to provide a proper quote at that time. Instead, I was told a week later at the install appointment that I could not install my 2 very expensive tankless water heaters and that the only option would be to wait for the gas company to up the pressure on the entire home or install traditional tank heaters. I was told by the installer that he would make sure I wouldn't pay more than the $2500 I had already put down as a deposit if I went with the traditional tank heaters. Based on this information, I chose to go that route.After the job was completed, Collin then told me that the job would cost $5000 as originally quoted. When I argued that this was preposterous, considering tank heaters are much easier to replace than converting to tankless, he then conceded that it should be $4000 for 2 tank heaters. He also never apologized for his initial error at the estimate appointment. He also never sent me an updated invoice after the change was made to our plan.I understand this may have been due to a miscommunication between me and the installer, but this is why more care should have been made at the estimate appointment. And had an error been made, there should have been a sufficient apology and an updated invoice immediately sent to me. Instead, Collin had the nerve to argue with me that I was saving money. Like I stated to him, what I had an issue with was not the pricing. It was that he had made the initial error and caused a delay, that I had never received an apology, and that the pricing after the change was not made transparent. Had the pricing been transparent and agreed upon, I would have had no reason to be upset.I am highly disappointed in this level of service with such a reputed company and would suggest another plumber if you want transparent services.

From the first diagnostic visit from Tech # 1133 when found out our entire Air conditioner unit outside and inside the Attic needed to be replaced. Randy Baker Comfort Specialist came over the following day and right away proceeded to assist us with finding a financing solution that worked for us and also made sure we were able to get the installation the very next day. Everyone at ARS has been absolutely awesome! The Installation Guys were Professionals from Start to finish the Tech and his Assistant Nathan #1227 were Polite and knowledgeable able to address any concerns and questions we had. Even in in 90 plus degree heat they worked tirelessly and efficiently and cleaned up the place behind them taking the old unit with them. I would want these guys to handle any emergency we had. They so nice and even updated two of our fire alarms in the hallway. They were outstanding! Way to Go Guys! I want to say thank you for the wonderful job well done.

On 10/27/2020 I bought a water Heater from ARS RR. They installed it with no problems even though they pushed for buying a contract for 2-3 years. Now I know I was lucky to choose not to buy service contract with them. On 2/14/21 due to a winter storm the water heater stopped working. I called for service on 2/15. I was told that they will come and fix it as soon as possible, today 2/24 still I have no hot water in the house and still they cannot tell me when and if they will ever come. Their service is very bad! Stay away from them. There are so many other providers locally that offer much better service. One word says it all : STAY AWAY FROM ARS /Rescue Rooter!

Price gouging during a weather emergency is horribly unethical. I was charged $580 for one busted PVC pipe that took 1.5 hours to repair! The only reason I agreed was1. I thought there would be more to the repair then that.2. We have been without running water because of the winter storm for over three weeks and have been exhausted from it. The next plumbing company was still weeks away from an appointment here and we obviously could not wait that long.3. I believed my insurance would cover this cost of this repair so I was not too worried about the cost however after speaking with them now, am being told they wont cover the whole thing still because of deductibles which I thought I met.I will be filing a consumer complaint with the attorney general of Texas along with the BBB. I suggest anyone to stay away from this company.

When I finally found a number someone would answer, I was told “You’re scheduled for 2-6.” I was not!!! We’re working to get someone over there, I was told.While the man who was here was awesome, the company needs to figure out their scheduling issues!!

My A.C. unit went out on a Wednesday night. I submitted a service repair on-line to ARS Rescue Wednesday night. I received a call back the same night from ARS to schedule a repair appointment. They provided a window to arrive for repairs. They called 30 minutes prior to arriving. Technician informed me my A.C. unit was 21 years old and the coils had to be replaced. I decided to go with a new A.C. unit. The technician scheduled a salesman to talk to me the sane day. The salesman provided me a heat load calculation and my new A.C. unit options. They scheduled the installation of my new unit for the next day. The installation technicians arrived early, completed the job early and left no mess. The installation technicians walked me through my new unit and asked if I had any questions before they left. I would highly recommend ARS Rescue for A.C. repairs or new installations. Great experience.

We couldn't be happier with the outstanding service that Tom H with ARS provided us. He was very professional and courteous. He went above and beyond explaining what he was doing and how to maintain and operate our new water heater. We really appreciate it and would recommend your company to anyone. Tom is a great representative of your company and your work ethic. It's great to see someone take such pride in their work. Thank you!

These guys are my go-to people for AC services. They installed my new AC, fixed the ductwork in my old house, and told me ways to improve the airflow inside. Educational, professional, and great value for AC work. Couldn’t be any happier! Mike was awesome!

Peter has come out twice now to fix and maintenance my AC/Heater. He is very pleasant to work with (always has a smile) and very professional. He is always on time and does his check thoroughly but efficiently. He takes extremely detailed notes on the invoice with his recommendations on next steps. Not trying to rip you off and very honest. He explains all the things he has done and helps walk you through it. He is coming again for my next maintenance.

I needed a new HVAC. I scheduled a meeting with ARS / Rescue Rooter and I not only got a top of the line system installed the same day, MiguelAugustine, Roberto, and Jorge has it installed and working perfectly in less than 4 hours. They left no mess and even gave me some training on how the system works and how to keep everything working efficiently. Definitely recommend this company if you need a new system.

The technician was great! Gave 3 stars because they were scheduled to come out the day before between 9 and 1. Received a message that morning they were running behind and it would closer to 1. 2 o’clock rolls around and they haven’t shown up. I called the main number and they said the appt should have never been scheduled because they didn’t have a tech available. I was a bit frustrating to say the least.

Don't waste your time with this company. I had a plumbing emergency and they told me early in the afternoon they would get a technician out to my house between 1:30-5:30p. Then at 6PM that same day they called me back and said never mind we can't get to you today and you should call someone else to get help. Unbelievable. I feel like it was all a scam to just get me to stop calling and force me to wait until they could help. Not the way you do business. Just say you don't have availability to help.

Emergency plumbing issues are never welcome. And last Sunday (4/26/19) I had one such emergency. The PVC waterline that goes from my home to the street sprung an impressive leak and was gushing water about 12-inches into the air. By the time I noticed it Sunday morning, there was already standing water in the yard. I went to the street and shut off the water and searched online for 24/7 Emergency plumbing repair, and found ARS Rescue Rooter. I made an appointment for that day with their scheduling person, but their dispatcher called back shortly thereafter and said the scheduler made a mistake, and they could not come out until the next day (this is why I gave them 4 and not 5 stars). I did try other places, but encountered similar scenarios. So I kept the appointment, and was a priority appointment on Monday. Miguel was my plumber. He arrived around 10 a.m. and was professional, friendly and a good communicator. I left him to the work while I went to work. He called me about two hours later, to let me know he completed the job (one of his colleagues showed up and helped with the digging) and the water was back on. Overall, the experience was a good one, minus the original scheduling goof, and I would recommend them and use them again.

After the master toilet began leaking 2 nights prior,, we we're unsure what to do. We called ARS and they sent us Logan Hernandez who was great. He was able to come out and find the problem quickly. Although it was something that was a more difficult fix, he was able to gather the tools needed and get our pipes fixed in a matter of hours. Will definitely be reaching out to both ARS and Logan for any future needs.

The service tech was great and everyone I've talked to was very helpful. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because their parts distributor messed around and sent the wrong part for the original repair instead of just communicating that the right part was not available. That caused us to be without hot water for much longer than if they had done so.

Once again we have had an outstanding experience with ARS. I don't say this often about a company but they always manage to exceed my expectations. Peter our AC specialist was on time, polite, very knowledgeable and very helpful. He quickly got in and analyzed the issue, got the parts ordered and scheduled the required follow up visit.

Miguel was the best. We had four plumbers come to our home previously with no resolution of our problem. Most of them could not diagnose the problem or fix it. Miguel took the time and used “real problem solving “ techniques. Problem solved! We loved his tenacity. He also gave us an estimate for a plumbing project we are undertaking and explained all the details. Best service we have ever had.

We called ARS because of plumbing issues and came to realize that we had a break in our main line. ARS cleared our line a few times and worked with me to give an estimate on what the repair would cost, approx $6000. We called a few other companies for estimates but ended up choosing ARS because they seemed the most professional and trust worthy. Scheduling the process to begin and making the initial payment was the only part that has been easy. From the time we started the repair Sept. 18' trying to get in contact with anyone at ARS about our repair work status has been impossible. I was told the excavation would begin on two separate days and both weeks, nobody showed up or called to let us know. Once the repair began the entire process was on going until December 18' while the huge pile of dirt and concrete sat on our front yard for months. I continued to call to try to get in touch with someone who could tell me when the repair work would be finished and not once did I receive a call back without having to reach out again. Once the repair was supposedly completed, I was never contacted or notified, the hole was just back filled one day. I started calling again to reach someone to receive the video of the repair work and warranty paperwork. I didn't received a call back until February when they called to follow up for the final payment. I called back the same day and was told someone would call me regarding the warranty and video and never heard back. I have since called 4 more times without a call back.I called again and finally spoke with someone who said they would be mailing the warranty paperwork. When scheduling the repair, I was told that ARS isn't held responsible for any damage to landscaping which is understandable, however if the job had not taken 3 months to complete there would have likely not been any damage. We now have had to replace our grass in the front yard where the pile sat.The entire experience has been a headache and nightmare. I would expect a little more attention to customer's especially when the repair isn't a cheap job by any means.

We have used ARS for more years than I recall. Since we subscribe to twice a year inspection of our HVAC system, someone comes before summer and winter to be sure everything is working.

We sincerely appreciate the level of attention we receive and look forward to using ARS, when/if need arises.

The ARS technician Karl, was a friendly and professional service representative. He performed a very thorough check of our Air and HVAC system, determined the issue, provided a remedy, and ensured we were in good shape before he left. He also provided some education and tips of things to be aware of and to look out for. ARS exceeded my expectations and if Karl is any indication of the quality of personnel that work for ARS, I highly recommend them.

Tom was great! The first guy they sent out was very disappointing. He didn’t fix the clogged drain, kept taking his mask off, and seemed inconvenienced by the process of being a plumber. Tom was the second person the company sent out when the first guy couldn’t figure out how to remove the bathtub stopper assembly. If I was only reviewing the first guy I’d want to give zero stars. Tom deserves five stars hands down. He was friendly, chatty, informative, and got the job done correctly and efficiently. I would call Tom back without question.

I explained that we had replaced another toilet in the house (installed by another company)and were not happy with it. He asked if he could look at it. Well it only needed to have a few screws tightened and Omid took care of it in about five minutes! In this time of COVID we all have to take extra precautions and Omid observed them all. I wish all of my encounters with repairmen were as pleasant as this one was. I have used ARS for 10 years ( elec. HVAC & plumbing) and the few times I didn’t , It was a mistake.

Please tell me you guys at ARS know you have a good one in Tim. Very professional, Explained his work after trouble shooting my problem . Very personable, quick, neat and to the point. That man will be running ARS before you know it! He came on warranty call and hell I wanted to pay a guy like him just because I respect his work and the way he represents himself and the ARS brand. Keep in eye on Tim he make your company look great in the eyes of the paying public!I walked Tim out to his van and that thing was so neat and organized I just had to commend him for that as well.Respectfully, Anderson HowardP.S.I don't really like to do this but I think it's the only way a company can recognize in area of opportunity and correct it. I made another appointment with ARS after having such great work done by Tim. The work ARS does when they arrive is great but actually getting there in the allotted times is not good at all. When Tim came I had a scheduled time of 10:00 to 2:00 they came after 4:00. Because Tim did such a great job as a Technician I overlooked ARS's operations for not getting techs dispatched within the 4 hour time they slotted for me. The appointment I made with ARS for a tuesday at 2:00pm (not a 4 hour window) with the ARS schedulers was not kept. I call the office and was told my appointment was a 2-4 window. Then they put me on hold and said they could not even make between 2-4 and would have to reschedule me for the next day. I had the same issues with a previous scheduled appointment prior to all this. So I'm going to have to pass on doing business with ARS going forward because the company does not value a paying customers time.

I called because my air conditioner stopped working after a rainstorm on Father's Day weekend. A tech came out and said I wasn't getting enough power to my unit inside to run correctly and I needed to call an electrician to see why. Once I did that, he could check my capacitor because it probably needed replacing.I called an electrician(which wasn't an easy task) and he came out the next day. I walked with him as he checked power at the breaker box, which was good, and in the unit inside, which he showed me on his monitor that power was being received in full.We went to the outside unit and he actually checked the power supply and the breaker and found a faulty breaker. This is the same breaker ARS said they installed when they installed my unit 5 years ago. He said it wasn't a new breaker they installed, it was probably the old one that they just left there.After changing the breaker, my unit worked fine. So an electrician fixed my A/C, not a HVAC tech from ARS. He was wrong on his diagnosis and their previous installers did shoddy work in not changing the breaker.I called and complained about this situation. They sent the head of quality control and all he could say was, there wasn't anything wrong with my unit and he doesn't know why anything else happened.I received no follow up calls from their customer service department.I will no longer use ARS, unless it's for warranty work on my unit!

We’ve been having issues with our A/C cooling our master bedroom over the last 18 months. We’ve had ARS out two other times to look at the system (as part of normal maintenance). The previous answers were just that it may be warmer in that room because it faces west.I should note that this A/C was installed about 7 years ago by ARS, and for the first 4-5 years and worked great. Something changed about 18 months ago when we had some other construction work done.This past time, I called ARS to come out specifically to address the warm room issue (rather than as a side issue).Robert was the one all call, and first thing out, Robert assured me he would look things over and get to the bottom of the problem. He went up into the attic and immediately found that our ducts had dampers installed, and that the master bedroom damper was almost completely closed (that will do it). I could immediately feel the difference.In addition, the last two technicians out had added coolant to the system because it was below pressure. We were afraid we had a leak in the coil. Robert suggested that we perform a leak test, which cost around $190. As soon as he removed the panel to perform the stress test, he noticed that the insulation on the inside of the unit had come lose, and was obstructing airflow. This both reduced the efficiency of the A/C, but also lowered the refrigerant pressure.With the obstruction removed, the pressure went back up, and we could further feel an improvement in air flow. He said he now recommended against the leak test, since he doubted the we had a leak.Long story short, Robert pegged the problem within 30 minutes of investigating. They didn’t end up charging because it was a follow up to the original maintenance call (I’m on the home plan). Our bedroom is no longer hot at night, and our A/C no longer struggles to in the afternoon to hold the temperature in this Texas heat.I’m ecstatic at the outcome. Our house is cool all over, and I’m guessing our electricity bill will drop as well. Thank you Robert so much for being thorough and applying your expertise to our problem. I’m super pleased with this particular visit.

I have been very happy with this company's responsiveness. I called late on a hot Friday afternoon with an AC problem. They were able to schedule a visit at my convenience. While the problem was correctly diagnosed as a clogged drain apparently the first technician was unable to completely clear the line as the problem recurred about a week later. They promptly sent someone out to check the unit and again clear the line and I have had no trouble since. The company was really good about keeping me informed and both technicians were quite professional. I bought the annual maintenance agreement and it has already paid for itself.

This was Round 2 (7/21/20), for my pre-paid Maintenance contract for a $30k Lennox A/C system. Although I'm giving ARS a 5 Star ranking today...it would not have been my first rating based on my Round 1 (7/17/20) experience with the original service Tech that ARS sent to my home. The first Tech essentially told me, in so many words...that I must be lying when I relayed to him what the Scheduler/Dispatch person had told me, in response to a direct quest, regarding the A/C filter(s) needed for my units. When asked, the ARS phone schedule person, (Brenda), said that FILTER replacement was included with my maintenance agreement.Apparently it was not. The Tech left my home without performing ANY other maintenance service and told me he would have someone call to reschedule my appointment.Which he did not.Because the ARS Tech who came to my home today, (Randy Winters #7386), appeared on my doorstepstthis morning without an appointment.Having said that, Randy did try to diffuse the situation and was courteous and professional and represents ARS well.So, the 5 Star rating was for Randy.ARS needs to improve with the training of their phone representatives as well as at least one of their Techs...that customers should be treated with accurate information, (Brenda), and with a modicum of respect, (1st Tech), as these individuals did not represent ARS in the manner in which they might expect.Thanks.

The team did a great job of installing the outdoor AC unit and indoor heater/blower unit in a difficult indoor environment on an extremely hot day. They contacted us and showed up on time. They worked diligently until the installation was completed. They repeatedly asked if we had questions regarding the new equipment and thermostat and satisfactorily answered our questions. I cannot believe I am sitting here in a cool house that a couple of hours ago was so uncomfortably hot.

My mother, who is elderly, and lives alone called me in a panic due to a pipe having burst. It was spewing out water and she could not get it to stop. This was around 8pm, and understandably she was very upset and in tears. I told her not to worry and I would call and get someone out there to help her. I called ARS Rescue rooter and they assured me they would get someone out there that evening, but since it was a weekend it might take a little while. After several hours of waiting I called them again, and they told me she was next in line and there was no need to call anyone else. Well, we did not hear from them, EVER. They never called at all. I eventually called another service who showed up in 1 hour. We called many times over the next three DAYS to find out what happened and were told a manager would call us, he never did. So finally we called and got a hold of a manager and he said he was very sorry this happened and promised he would look into it and call us back. It is two weeks later and still no phone call. This is one of the most unprofessional services I have ever dealt with.

Third time I have tried to do business with ARS. I will never contact them again! They are incompetent in their knowledge of what the issue is and always needing to send someone else out. I was told they couldn't sell me a new hot water heater when in actuality they indeed can. I had to go to Home Depot and buy one as I was told it would also be cheaper...it wasn't. They always reschedule with me , and when they send someone else , that plumber has to send out another plumber. The scheduling is a complete disaster. Their statement of issuing a 100% refund on the work if not done correctly or to satisfaction is untrue!!!I DO NOT RECOMMEND ARS!

Bought a Lennox unit for 14K, most efficient one on the market. After only 15 months of operation, it is not cooling anymore. Last night I called and I asked if I had a warranty, they said YES a 10 year warranty with us. I said great, come out ASAP. They said it will be a $79.00 charge, I said what kind of warranty do I have. She said I am not sure, I responded I am confused. She said, only the technician can tell you until they come out. I asked so if I have a warranty, why do I need to pay for somebody to come out. She fine, I will wave $20.00 off your visit. I say thank you for saving me $20.00 but I still don't understand what kind of warranty do I have. She said the technician will let you know when he arrives between 8:00am and 12:00pm. I said OK I will be waiting, my family is all home and getting cooked. The technician shows up at 12:43pm and checks the unit. He said you have no freon, so I think you have a leak. I said the unit is 15 months old, how can that be. He said it is a lot of pressure on a small copper line, 4,000 psi. I laughed, I said isn't it more like 200psi. I said anyway, well we are under warranty so please fix. He said warranty is only on part and not on labor. He said, I can install freon and see how it does. I said how much, he said about $600.00. I asked, what is the point of adding freon if it will leak? He said OK, I am just trying to cool you down while we order new coils. I said, how do you know it is the coils if you have not tested for a leak? He said experience, Sir. The he asked I need to load some freon to find the leak, at least $200.00 of it or so. I said I agree you to come because I was told I have warranty, I am not paying again for a unit that was $14,000.00 and is only 15 months old. So he search for the leak and found it in the evaporator coils upstair. He said, we can change the evaporator coils for $1,650.00 I said I am sorry I cannot pay that amount on a unit that is only 15 months old.

They were supposed to be Friday to replace my AC unit n still haven't shown up or called to tell me they weren't going to make it. I've called n left messages twice n haven't even gotten a call back. Not a reliable company. I would not depend on them for ur AC/heating needs

This company was recommended as a subcontractor through Home Depot. I scheduled a simple AC maintenance service for Monday, May 20, but didn't hear anything from the technician within the scheduled time window, so I called to check and make sure I had the right information in my calendar. I was told my information was correct, but that they were behind schedule that day. I rescheduled to be the first appointment today, Saturday, May 25, and was told I was scheduled in the 8am to 10am window. At 10:10am, I still had no communication from the service tech or the company, so I called them again to check status and was told they would have someone on the road to me within 30 minutes. It is now 4:25pm, and no technician has arrived, nor have I had any other contact from the company to explain the delay. I sent a message to Home Depot, letting them know the situation with this recommended subcontractor, and am posting here to warn other customers. I still need to have my AC checked, but I guess I will have to find another, hopefully more reliable, company to meet my needs.

Our 17 year old kitchen faucet started leaking. I shut off the water and realized water was also leaking from the shutoff valve. I bought a new faucet and ARS was recommended for the install. The plumber was efficient, knowledgeable, did a great job with the install, checked all of the other faucets in the house and changed out a hose bib. I will call ARS from now on for our plumbing needs.

ARS came out Monday night to give a quote to install a water softener that we had just purchased from Home Depot. Our garage is plumbed and ready for the water softener (our home is five months old and we did this ahead of time). Their quote was $980.00 We asked twice if that was the correct price. They said yes. We asked how long it would take to put it; and they answered ; not that long because everything is ready. We were shocked. We called Home Depot because they recommended this company. They were shocked. Needless to say, we went with another qualified and highly rated plumbing company that charged $346.00. There is something very wrong when a company wants to charge three times what the job should be charged. Beware

ARS plumber Greg installed two new toilets. He was timely, efficient, respectful and expert in his profession. He was mindful to protect flooring surfaces in our home by wearing shoe coverings. Additionally he observed COVID-19 precautions and performed difficult work in a face mask. Areas were reasonably well cleaned upon completion of tasks and all debris, packaging and old toilets were removed from premises. We would not hesitate to call Greg Or ARS for future plumbing repairs.

My NEST and HVAC system were not communicating. I have a small but nervous dog and I care for a baby. Peter and his colleague were super professional. They arrived promptly on time. They showed me where the problems were, and they were able to adjust and reconnect my system. In addition, they taught me a little about my patched up and aging HVAC. I appreciated hearing their advice. Plus, it did not hurt that they were patient with my two charges! I am very happy with their service.

I called ARS Rescue Rooter in Austin though the Home Depot website on SAT 6/ 27/16 (after trying all week to get my hot water heater either repaired or replaced by handymen). ARS responded in getting me an appointment right away with a serviceman coming out the next morning on a SUN to give me a free estimate. Thomas H. my serviceman , was courteous and prompt. He gave me an estimate, that I thought was high; however, there are times when you really do get what you pay for. By purchasing my heater through Home Depot I was also able to get the service charges added to a payment plan, which helped me a lot to make the decision. I was glad I did. Thomas did an excellent job, He picked up the heater from the store for me, installed the new one, as well as brought my system up to meet new standards by the city, and hauled away the old heater and any installation debris within a couple of hours. I would not hesitate to recommend these services to anyone Also, a special thank you to Thomas, as he was really great to work with and knowledgeable of his trade..

3 out of last 4 appointments were either completely missed, incorrect time, incorrect date... When I called to confirm my final appointment, due to previous scheduling errors on their part- the dispatcher laughed at me. Even with the self-assured chuckle, they couldn't get that appointment right either. Remarkable.Asked 5 employees to have a manager call me- no call.Can't forget the best part: When scheduling my consultation for a new furnace, I was asked, Do you need anyone else there to make the decision?. My response: Like my husband? No thanks.

My AC stopped blowing cold air so I called ARS as I am already on their annual maintenance plan. The electrical wires on the outside unit were burnt to a crisp. The maintenance man took less than 5 minutes to say the compressor was grounded. I could replace just the compressor and evaporator coil only for a couple grand but my system is 16 years old, so i should replace the entire system. The salesman came out the next day with options up to $10,000. I told him this is a big purchase and my first ac replacement therefore i have to get a second opinion. I called Precision and he said the capacitor and electricity connector must be replaced so he can troubleshoot. This worked and the bottom line... the compressor was low on freon. My house is as cold as the north pole and all for approximately $600+. I cancelled the maintenance plan.

Ready for this?My mom was not getting enough heat in the master bedroom so we contacted rescue rooter for a simple check. One of their employees (who didn't look that friendly) came over and inspected our system. He came down from the attic and told us that we had to have several parts changed and that our system was in poor condition. He told us that if we don't take care of it there might be water dripping from our vents and bad things would happen. We were worried and confused because we were never expecting a situation like this since our house is fairly new. He gave us an estaminet in the range of $1000 and told us that he could fix it. We didn't know what to do and were thinking of getting a second opinion.In the coming days we noticed that our whole house was not getting any heat at all. We were freezing and my mom actually caught a sore throat from the cold. We called rescue rooter immediately and asked for someone to check the system.They immediately send someone and its turns out it was the SAME GUY. I act like I didn't know him and he went to check our system. After 10 minutes he comes down and says there was just a minor wiring problem and nothing more. Other than the wiring our system was working fine and was in good condition.This was the same guy who was pushing us through fear to do all the repairs just 3 days ago and now he told us that it was just a minor wiring problem. I was extremely disappointed and offended by this guy and wanted to puke.Today, I contacted a different local company and not only did they fix the master bedrooms heating problem, but told us that our system was in excellent condition and that we wouldn't have to worry about calling anybody for any inspection or repair for half a year or so.Please be advised. There are way better repair services in Austin. Don't fall into the same trap I did.

Purchased 3 Kohler toilets and arranged for install through Home Depot at a reasonable cost. ARS team of Greg and Amed (sp) did an excellent job for each install. Each was professional, used quality wax rings and water supply lines, cleaned up after the installs were done and hauled off the original units. Highly recommend using ARS for plumbing installs. Their work saved me hours had I chosen to do the job myself!

This is an updated review. We had our AC replaced by ARS several months ago and recently our breaker was tripping. We called out ARS and they told us to have an electrician come out and replace the breaker because the amperage for the new system was not supported by our breaker. I didn't feel we should have to pay the cost of an electrician. After speaking with a representative at ARS, they sent out their own electrician and our breaker was replaced today! Thanks ARS for resolving our issue. 4.5 stars :)

Bought a water heater from Home Depot and they called ARS while I was sitting there so I could schedule the installation. The person doing the install told me that Monday was wide open and would I like to schedule for Monday and I said yes. She said they could schedule me between 8 and 12 and they would call before they came out. She said they would give me a price quote and then if I accepted their quote they would do the install and I asked if they would do the install at the time they were there and she said yes. Today (Monday) at 11:45 I had not received a call they were on the way so I called and was told they would be there between half hour to hour and half because the tech was running late. My husband already missed half a day of work but could have gone in so now I'm not very happy at all. Then when the tech calls an hour later and says he is on the way to our house to give a quote for the water heater install I ask him if he will be doing the install as well if I accept the quote, he said no. I told him that isn't what I was promised. I call the company back and then I'm told that this tech will give quote and if we accept it another tech will come out in about an hour to do the install. Really? So we are basically supposed to wait on this company ALL day...not just a 4 hour window that apparently doesn't mean anything to them! And there didn't even seem to be much regard for the fact my husband had already wasted a day of his time away from the office and they were running late. It was more of a too bad for you attitude. And the quote to do a simple 40 gal gas water heater install..over $800!!! Robbery! Never using ARS again!!! Worst customer service I've had in a very long time!

First visit, my water heater was not installed up to code. Took a half day off work to have someone come out to fix the issue in the afternoon, and he didn't show up until well after the time window (and well after the time I would have been off work anyway), only to tell me that he didn't have the time to fix everything that was wrong with it. He also told me that HE would personally be coming back to fix it and that he was going to call his supervisor about compensating me for the time I took off work, which never happened. So I get scheduled for another day, and I text the guy who said he would be coming back to fix it himself the morning I am scheduled for to confirm he is still coming and he said yes. Later that day, the same technician who installed it incorrectly the first time shows up to fix it. Okay...That same day (so I didn't have to take ANOTHER day off work for ineptitude), I also had people working in my attic for new insulation. The ARS technician told me he needed to go to Home Depot to get some supplies (which didn't make sense because he should have brought everything he needed with him if he had the report from the inspector outlining everything that was wrong). That was the last I saw of him. I had to call ARS to ask if he was coming back, and apparently the technician told ARS that he didn't have room to work because of the insulation guys, who were not in his way at all. There was a ladder in the garage to access the attic and that was it. So ARS finally sent another guy out after 7pm to fix the issue. And then I had to take more time off work to have it reinspected.I got saddled with ARS because I bought my water heater through home Depot and they contracted insulation through them. Never buying an appliance from Depot again.

I called ARS several days in advance and told them I was having issues with my toilets. I was given a time window of 9:00-1:00 and the technician showed up shortly after 9:00. After coming in and discussing the issues, the technician said he was not allowed to work on toilets and he would send someone else. I was told another technician would be back before 1:00. At 3:00, I called ARS and was told I was next in line. At 5:30, the technician showed up and went into my drain in my sink in the kitchen without even looking at my toilets. He claimed he knew what the problem was, charged my card $89, and said another technician would return two days later between 5:00 and 7:00 to fix the issues. The technician never showed up.

I contacted ARS about 11:30 am and scheduled an appointment for same day service. Appointment was for 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. I was informed that a courtesy call would be made 30 minutes before technician arrival. At 4:15pm, the technician still hadn't arrived, so I called ARS. After being placed on hold for quite some time, the receptionist said she had left a voice mail, telling us they didn't service our area. I had not been away from the phone, and no call or voice mail was ever received at my home. This was very inconvenient, as both my spouse and I put off our plans for the day for 4 hours, waiting for ARS to arrive. The receptionist had no further response, and hung up!

After the recent freeze in Austin my tankless water heater was leaking, a lot. Called them 2/19 to get someone out to look at it. Long wait because everybody that had an outdoor mounted tankless was having the same issue.Called again on 2/26 and was told I was not on the schedule yet. Texted the plumbing supervisor/manager, Rick. Rick said he would try to squeeze me in on Sat 2/27. Nobody called. Texted Rick again Sat evening and was told I was on the schedule for Sun 2/28. No call. Texted Rick again, dispatch called a short while later to set up someone to come out Monday 3/1.Kyle came out around noon on Monday, asked me if there was water coming out of the unit, I said there was. He went and looked at it, came back within a couple minuted and told me it would have to be replaced at a cost of $3800, because everybody has the same issue. Not once did Kyle even take the cover off to look to see what was leaking. I found out from the mfgr that they did not have any replacement parts available and they were have them made so they didn't know how long it would be.Kyle never told me any of this, just that I had to replace the unit. He talked to somebody at ARS and offered me a discount of $500, bringing my cost down to $3300.Kyle cut off an elbow on the recirculation line and capped it off so I could have water again.I had Kyle come back out on 3/4 to put the recirculation line back together an add another shut off valve (one that I think should have beenput on when they installed the unit) for a fee of $110.So now I have a $5400 wall decoration that is less than a year old and am looking at a replacement cost of $3300, and still without hot water!My personal opinion of this company went way down with this ordeal, I get that some things were beyond their control but I feel that the situation could have been handled better.

I would like to commend Cody from ARS Rescue Rooter. He was on time, competent and most efficient, completing all the necessary plumbing work in a professional manner. He answered my many questions, and since my house is over 40 years old, there are always plumbing issues to be addressed. Not only did he efficiently deal with a clogged washing machine drain; but as part of my home service plan, he drained the water heater and checked all the other sinks and plumbing connections, making reasonable suggestions about future work to solve ongoing issues.

Avoid this overpriced Con-Job , I also had a tech sent from Homedepot app, and the tech charged me $300 for something I didn't need, did not locate the problem, hired a mom and pop hvac tech the same day and he had to remove the ARS overcharged repair and he fixed the actual problem...These million dollar companies are only out for your cash! Avoid at all cost ..I'm out $300 for doing nothing! Real professional ARS!

I had a water heater installed. One year later it stopped working. After 6 technicians they finally agreed it was defective! Every time I called for repair I was without hot water for a week. 6 times no hot water. As of today I am still without hot water. Techs came out last Wednesday promising a new water heater. I called Tuesday to confirm they were coming over with a new water heater, yes was the response. ARS confirmed the appointment, 8-12 would be the time of arrival. I waited all day, 5:00 a tech is at the door with no water heater! He received a call to come trip the panel. Why would ARS lie to me about a tech coming to replace the water heater? I was instructed to call Rheem. I did. They refuse to come out until they spoke to ARS. As of today I am still waiting for a new water heater. FYI I have no hot water in the dead of the winter! This is the worst experience ever. Not happy with ARS!

My water was over 20 years old, it was still working, but I wanted to prevent problems before they happened. I contacted ARS rescue rooter in Austin, TX. Thomas Howard arrived on time and ready to go. Thomas was very professional and knowledgeable which put me at ease. Thomas went the extra step explaining the difference between tankless and regular water heater, things the person at Home Depot failed to mention. Thomas is very skilled, but more importantly an honest and hard working person. He's now my guy for all plumbing issues. You won't regret working with Howard. Thank you Sir!Sincerely,Melvin C Hackney

Contacted ARS at 8am for a drain problem. They had a tech onsite by 10am and diagnosed my problem, which turned out to be a bigger problem. They did get the drainage issue resolved temporarily, but most importantly used a camera to identify the problem in the sewer line. Very reasonable price, and I’ll definitely call them again.

Would give 0 stars of possible! Needed duct repaired, evaporator coils cleaned, and capacitor replaced on my air conditioner. The tech looked at the coils, but did not discuss cleaning them, replaced the capacitor, didn't even hook up gauges to test the system and charged $275 for 20 minutes work. Said he was too big to go under the house so someone else would be coming out to repair duct. Called 15 minutes after he left and said ARS no longer repaired duct work under houses. ARS installed the system. I repaired the duct myself and used a foam cleaner to clean the coils. I would have replaced the capacitor myself if I'd known that was all he was going to do. At my age (67) I didn't want to crawl under my house which is why I wanted to pay for a professional to do it. Also, I told the customer service representative, when I made the appointment, that I needed my duct repaired under the house and nothing was said about not offering that service. I will NEVER do business with this company again!

Mike from ARS was honest and fantastic!! He was knowledgable and also explained the issue. Which was a gas valve had gone bad on my 10 yr old furnace. Initially the quote was pretty high but he suggested to try the warranty for the unit. He did the leg work and called me a couple of days later and said that it's covered and can get it shipped over night. The 2nd quote was significantly cheaper.He didn't have to go the extra mile to see if it's covered under warranty. He could've just just left me with the initial quote which was high. But he didn't.It's hard to find honest and good technicians.If you call ARS for your HVAC needs, I definitely recommend to ask for Mike if possible.

Scheduled with ARS, they never showed up the first day. They called the following morning and told me they were backed up and couldnt come out that day either. My main line busted at the water meter which I had to shut off and it took 3 days for them to come out. When the rude Tech came out he totally tried to rip me off and said he could charge a lot more because he was a Licensed Plumber and not a repair man. I looked up the part and it was $79.00 and he was going to charge $785.00 to fix the leak. They will not show up when they say they will, find another plumber, these guys are a joke. I will have a sign made to put in my yard to let everyone that passes by know. Just terrible people!

I RARELY write reviews. but this was the absolute WORST experience I have ever had with a AC Repair company.Have an annual contract with ARS to provide 2 check ups on my two AC units PER YEAR. When I called because one of the units wasn't cooling they couldn't find the annual contract so I pulled my copy from my files.The tech showed up and tested the under performing unit and said it was 8-9 pounds low on freon. He then quoted me a price of $200 for the first pound and $100 per pound after that so I was looking at a cost of $1000 in order for him to test for leaks.He then proceeded to do a cost analysis for me to repair my 15 year old unit versus replacing it. Verbally quoted me a replacement cost of between $10,500 and $11,800 for a new unit. Would not provide a written estimate.I called another local company that I have used in the past and they re-charged the unit at $35.00 per pound (it took 2.5 pounds NOT 8-9 that ARS tech said). With the service call the total was $189.00. The local company, AIRPRO, has since provided me with a quote for the same Carrier unit ARS quoted and the Airpro's quote was $7850.The ARS tech didn't even do the annual inspection on the second unit while he was there. He was to busy trying to sell me a replacement unit.Will absolutely never use ARS again.

I was happy that they were able to schedule for a same day appointment to clean out my kitchen drain. Unfortunately, when the tech showed up they didn't have the required tool and advised someone would be out later that day. At 7PM they called and said the techs wouldn't be able to make it out but assured me they would be out before noon tomorrow. I finally received a call at 12:30 saying they would be out in 30 minutes. The tech was nice and courteous and solved the problem quickly thus the 3 stars. I probably won't be using them again due to scheduling confusion and time that I lost waiting on them.

Bought new AC house system and was told our electric bill would be 40% less....HA!! The next month with the same outdoor temps, was $10 more!! They told us, only after numerous calls to them with out return calls, that they would refund the $10!!!! These people lie and their customer service is a joke!!! UPDATE: the only good thing about ARS is that they have 100% money back guarantee for the first year. So we took advantage of this! About three months later we had the entire system taken out and went with another company. We got a lot more AC for less $$ and they also reconfigured it so that is much more efficient!

The reviews on here are accurate - they don’t show up for appts. Had an appt scheduled between 9am - 1pm. They were supposed to call 45 minutes before showing. No one called. No one showed up. Wasted a whole day waiting for nothing. Extremely frustrating when you’re an already busy person. My time could have been spent finding a company that will honor their commitments.

Home Depot salesman got me on a $29 Heating system tune up from ARS... The guy was here for 2 minutes and already started telling me I need to replace parts. 10,000% mark up on a capacitor ($2.81 for the capacitor online, He wanted to charge $250, I see other reviews where people paid $200) then he refused to honor a $10 coupon. All I asked for was a $29 tune up but ALL he did was try to upsell me at every single moment. I don't think he did anything useful other than look for parts he could sell me. He insisted I need my entire HVAC changed. Said my HVAC will go out at any moment and insisted I get a free quote for a new HVAC. My HVAC works fine.

Willie F. did a wonderful job. First off he gets credit for actually paying attention to my front porch sign and knocked instead of ringing the door bell. So many deliver/service people don't take the time to read a sign. He was very polite and gave me all the information needed to make a decision about the repair/replacement. He was able to come back the next day and had our problem fixed in less than an hour. This was huge since the problem is with our heater and we have little kids. I had used ARS four years ago for an AC problem and will call them again if I have any problems.

Home Depot referred me to their specialized arrangement with a company that would install an electric tankless water heater and we do a good job. I called them, setting up an appointment, told him where I lived, and after much discussion the lady came back and told me that they do not install tankless water heater’s because they are too much trouble. I then told them that I wanted to have a water heater similar to the one that I currently have. Same size etc. We set up the appointment and I waited four hours for the plumber to come and he gets out of his truck and says, “we don’t work on condos.“ This was after I had told them at least two other times that we were in a condo and they had my address. They should get their act together and they also should not act like they are providing a special service for Home Depot when they simply do not provide that service. They need to be better educated on their arrangement,and so does Home Depot.

I have used ARS successfully for several years on several minor household issues with plumbing, heat or A/C. They are very quick to respond and do a good job fixing the problems. The two star reduction is more related to their yearly contract service to inspect home equipment for free over the year like the heat and A/C. The problem is that this becomes a hard sell to replace equipment not fix. ARS called and offered last month to check the A/C. The tech guy made my eyes glaze over as he rattled off all the things wrong with my A/C and heating. He said up in the attic that he found the vent pipe disconnected which vents harmful gases outside. He showed me a photo off his iPhone before he supposedly reconnected it. I doubt from this picture that it was my vent but a stock picture he carries in his iPhone. Bottom line my A/C was low on freon but he left without filling back up. I called ARS CS who said they would call his supervisor to come back out. They never did. I had to pay another A/C company to fill up the freon for $250. I've tried the monthly contract fee of $15 for two years with the same poor performance. This experience makes using ARS problematic. I'm trying to cancel the month to month contract but it ain't easy so far.

Calling ARS to take care of some issues with my rental property was the biggest mistake I've made this year. I'll skip the long involved story, here are the basic facts:I'm out nearly $2000 in service costs, and I still haven't gotten all of my issues fixed. Very little of this cost was parts.A gas stove was installed improperly, causing it to have issues lighting.I bought two dish washers that I didn't even need thanks to repeated misdiagnosis.I wasted about 8 hours waiting for a plumber to make trips back and forth for parts.A valve was left in the on position by the plumber, which led to water spraying behind a fridge and seeping into the floor, possibly causing water damage.I was told by the person scheduling my service that it would be no problem to do some things that I asked for, and the technician immediately said they didn't do that upon arrival.Finally, when I called to try and get this sorted out, I was promised a call by a supervisor first thing in the morning and was told that an electrician was scheduled to come out today. This morning I got no call from a supervisor, and the only person who was scheduled to come out was the technician that misdiagnosed the washing machine twice.When I finally called in to speak to a supervisor, I was told that they wouldn't be able to send someone out to fix my issue, and offered me $50 off my next ARS service. Upon refusing this coupon, the supervisor seemed offended and said she'd call me back about other options, like the partial refund I was asking for.She never did.I like how prompt ARS is at getting a technician out, but I don't think I can ever use them again with how badly this has turned out.

ARS advertises that they are available 24/7. We recently called on Saturday morning for a water heater repair. They wouldn’t come out until Monday morning, so we made an appointment for Monday at 9:00 am.At 9:30 am on Monday we called to find out why the plumber hadn’t shown up yet. We were told that we were outside of their service area. When I asked why the appointment was made I was told that “she is new, and not familiar with our service area”.My suggestions to ARS:1. Don’t advertise that you are available 24/72. Train the people that answer your phones

ARS sent Peter W to see if they could replace the bulb in my Air Scrubber. Previous tech on routine call had noted it was out. I had purchased the bulb online and planned to replace it myself but intervening health issues have ruled that out.Peter was patient and thorough - even cutting a hole in the duct to try reaching the mechanism - but could not succeed.He spent a lot of time explaining how a scrubber worked - and that the company (another firm who had installed) it might succeed). Left me info about alternative equipment ARS has available.Even though we did not get the bulb in, Peter was clearly competent and knowledgeable, and I appreciate his effort.

Our 40 gallon gas hot water heater died on us, and we decide to replace it with a Navien gas tankless water heater. The original was located in a dedicated closet in the laundry room. Plenty of room for it, but a problem came up on the day installation was scheduled. There was no place for the required pan drain to go, since the closet is located toward the middle of the house. A pan was required to meet the new code.ARS Plummer, Thomas came up with an alternate plan in just a few minutes. There was plenty of room for the installation in the attic above the closet. The water and gas lines were already within five feet of where the tankless unit would be installed. A bonus to relocating to the attic was that there was already an electrical outlet installed within three feet of the location. If it had been installed in the closet, a new electrical run would need to be installed, costing an additional $450.00.From my perspective, the install went very well and was done in a timely, safe and very professional manner. I would be happy to show this installation to any of my visitors. Yeah I know - who in there right mind shows their household plumbing to their visitors!!Thomas is a good representative of ARS and is meticulous in his work, but not to the point of being slow at it. The finished product meets my high standards. I worked for a natural gas pipeline company for 33 years. Twenty five of those years in management of processing facilities. I know quality when I see it.I highly recommend ARS and Thomas for your plumbing requirements.

This is shocking and sad at the same time. I had a tech come to my house today because of a leak in my ceiling. He stated that the leak was coming from inside the wall in the upstairs restroom and that he would have to put a hole in the wall and reset the toilet in order to fix the leak. I was quoted $1067.00 minus the $79.00 for the service call my bill tomorrow would have been 987.80 according to the receipt. Well my sister knew a plumber he came over 2 hours later and it was the line behind the toilet that took them an hour and a half to fix which included going to get the part; all for $120.00. I bought my AC from this company a year ago and everyone was awesome during that ordeal which is why I'm sadden because it is a company I trusted. Well so much for that. The leak has stopped and all is well and I'm not ripped off for $867.00.

Where do I begin. I had to replace my entire sewer line and was quoted 12,600 with a 2 week turnaround. 2 months later with numerous workmanship errors the job was considered complete. I reached out to management with a timeline of my attempts to reach the project manager on numerous occasions regarding missed appointments, shotting workmanship and on-site disarray-parts of the old pipe were left on the lawn and ingested by my tenants dog thus causing an emergency vet visit on my dime. I asked for a reduction in my overall bill due to the laxed and negligent approach by staff. 4 months after sending my email of concerns I get a call from billing saying the job was done and to pay the bill. They did offer a $600 reduction which only served as a payment for the vet bill. Not once did I receive a call from ARS regarding my email. I strongly suggest that if you are someone that expects reliable, competent service and communication regarding your repairs, stay clear of ARS. I really wanted ARS to make this experience right so I would not feel compelled to right this review...they did not.

I had a terrible experience just getting them to show up. I called with a clogged sink and it was sort of an emergency, since I had a party going on. They told me they'd have someone out between 3 and 7p. That's a really wide window, but OK free same-day services is awesome! They called me around 3:15p, which I missed because I didn't hear my phone in the party. I returned the call in about 10 mins, at which point they told me the tech had already moved on to the next job, but that they would send him back to me when he was done. At 6, I called back to inquire about where the plumber was. I was the next on the list, and he would be back with me within the hour. At 7, I could no longer get a hold of dispatch, but the main number promised the technician would be paged and I'd get a call back. At 8, again the promise to page the tech. At 9, I was upset and they PROMISED he'd call me soon. I went to bed at 10p. I called in the morning at 8:30 am to ask if they wanted my business or not and they told me they'd call me back with a window. I told them not to bother, apparently their phones don't work.

I was left w/ a completely incorrect diagnosis w/o a thorough inspection. That's fine, everybody makes mistakes. However, value of a company can be seen in the way they deal with those mistakes. In this case, it has been brutally awful. They simply don't seem to care. I still have yet to receive my refund and at this rate, it will take longer than a phone company rebate to get my refund. Dear ARS/Rescue Rooter, get the job done right, or at least care a little bit about your unhappy customer if not done right.

Absolutely 0 stars if I could, OMG!! TOTAL RIP OFF......My AC is not cooling to the desired temperature during the day; it will sometimes work just fine during the night or when it's not hot outside. I have a friend that does AC work, so of course, I called him first. He came out and hooked up his gauges and notice that my system was low on freon and told me most likely I had a leak somewhere, but didn't have his equipment to do any leak checks. He charged up my system, cleaned my unit and told me to see if it starts working correctly. It actually seemed as though it worked for a day or so before starting to not cool properly again. I decided to call ARS Rescue Rooter (very bad mistake), to see if they could tell me what the problem was. I asked the lady how much would it cost to have someone diagnose my ac system and that I believe I had a leak. She told me it would be 79.95 and that someone would be at my home between 10am-2pm. First, the technician didn't get to my home until about 3pm. I showed him where my AC unit was located and came back in the house; 5 to 10 minutes later he was done. There was only one problem, he couldn't tell me what my problem was. He told me that my pressure was good (I already knew this, since my friend charged it up for me) and gave me a few things that could be causing the issue. We discussed doing a leak check and he told me that would be another $150.....WHHAAATTT!! So basically the 79.95 was just for them to come out. We went round and round, even ended up talking to his supervisor. I then asked what if they did a leak check and there was no leak, the supervisor said that would be a good thing right....I then told him but we would still be back to square one of me not knowing the problem, but out of the $79.95, plus the $150. I would never call them again and actually I called my friend back and he is bringing his equipment to check for leaks. If you call them, make sure to ask them exactly what you are getting for 79.95 and ask how much would it cost for them to tell you exactly what's causing your problem.Update: After DIAGNOSING my AC the right way and not finding any issues with the actual unit, my friend found that my issues were caused by the thermostat settings (I blame my wife for this). I have 1 unit with 2 thermostats; he says the way they were set, the heat and the ac were basically fighting one another. He set all my temperatures and my ac has been working just fine. I don't think ARS really tries to solve your problems; I think they just want to up sale you to getting a new unit, since my technician mentioned this several times. I even received a follow up call offering to give me a FREE quote on a new unit.....think the lady was a little upset that I was basically telling her that ARS was useless and that I would never call them again for anything.

I had a very complicated plumbing situation, which was handled so well, my husband and I had to ask Tom to do all the other stuff that needed to be done. He was professional; he was kind; he was extremely knowledgeable (and explained things in easy-to-understand language); and he was immaculate! I would highly recommend Tom Greer for any plumbing challenge you might have.

Called a few days ago and set up an appointment for someone to come out. They were expected to be at the house between 4 pm and 8 pm. Already taking time off work, we were told at 4:45 pm the day of the appointment that someone wasn't coming. Called and asked what happened, we were told that it was the nature of the business. I asked if we could call for an emergency service as water was leaking in the wall, I was promptly told it would be subject to a $119 fee which would not be negotiated due to their error. When told about a reschedule, that time wasn't guaranteed anyway...

Unfortunately there is no option for 0 stars or less.For non-emergency service, these guys charged $600 in labor for less than 2.5 hours work. Most likely because they were dealing with a woman at home by herself.These guys are scam artists at best.These guys are absolutely horrible. The services is exactly what you would expect from anyone marginally competent, and they charged literally 5 times what was expected for the job and blindsided my wife with it.On their web site, they have a $50 off ANY plumbing, coupon. When she brought up the sticker shock, was that mentioned to her at all? Nope. He just said that the manager approved it.Never use these guys. Ever.

Total professionals, from appointment lady, to making a request, to the technician. The HVAC technician, Mike, was professional above other places I've had for various services. He had a face mask on before he even set foot on my porch. Late afternoon, but still looking as tidy as just clocking in. Shoe covers. Gloves. Friendly! I used ARS for the last HVAC system inspection, and will continue to do so. Five stars!

ARS proactively called and scheduled Peter Wabbel to come out for a routine inspection (no additional fee--included in our service plan.) Peter was friendly, thorough, and efficient, as on all previous calls. We were lucky in our timing--it is still cool here in Austin, but the heat will be coming soon. When Peter pulled off a panel on the A/C, a key part had burned out, and the compressor was bad. We decided to replace the system (long overdue,) and a team came out the very same day to remove the old A/C system and install the new.Agustin, Miguel, Kever, and Roberto were professional, quick, and did a high-quality job that exceeded my expectations.The entire customer experience was superior (the call, Peter's inspection and assessment, and the installation.) Thanks Peter, Agustin, Miguel, Kever, and Roberto, and thanks ARS!===Previous review of Peter Wabbel:Once more Peter Wabbel came through for us. Problem with an A/C unit, and he fixed it promptly. Great guy!===Previous review of same technician:We called ARS and requested Peter Wabbel again. Time for our annual check-up on the A/C. I can't say enough good things about Peter. He is honest, thorough, and is great at explaining what I need to know about our systems. When the A/C system runs well, our house is comfortable and our electricity bill is much improved (because a well-functioning A/C system uses less electricity to cool the house.) Consider this a 10-star recommendation. Peter consistently exceeds our expectations.===Previous review of same technician:Annual check-up on our A/C system by ARS. The service provided by Peter Wabbel exceeded my expectations. Based upon this second experience with Peter (he helped us last year also), I can confidently say he consistently provides superior customer service. Thanks!!!

In all our years of having installs and repairs this was exceptional. Beautiful install of our HVAC system. The most clean cut work we have ever seen and our home is older and not an easy repair. We have already told neighbors about ARS. Gauny and his assistant were so professional and answered all our questions and concerns without any hesitation. We didn't even know there was a company out there that gave this quality of service. Having an HVAC system is a huge cost and having the kind of installation done so well, was a relief when your spending that kind of money. Other reviewers thought they were expensive. We researched before we bought and they were average to below average.

This company got referred via Home Depotin August 2021. Although the pricing was substantial (>20%) over other vendors we contracted them because we wanted the highest level of quality for a water heater installation in the attic (understandable). The initial intake was done professional, although it was quite strange that the sales quality assurance survey was done trough the salesman not independant. The work itself was started and finished on time, but the workers didnt care to wear overboots which ended up ruining our fresh painted floors in the bathroom - see footprints on the picture. There was no mention beforehand to which rooms they need access to. ARS also scheduled the state inspection which did not pass and I am waiting to this day to get this resolved with them. A conversation with their quality department ended up in an accusation towards us thet we wanted to get something out of them like anyone else - I asked for them to come out and clean the floors This is frustrating as we are left with runied floors and a water heater that is still not up to code, 6 months later. Please do not use this company, you will definitely overpaying for quality you will not receive.

Where to begin...maybe the fact that it has been 15 days since I had running water, or the fact that I wasted 2 Saturdays waiting for my 10-1 scheduled appointment, only to have them show up at 6:30 p.m. IN THE DARK. To date, no one has done anything but show up, scratch their butts and ask me to recite what the other person who came out told me.After many apologies and a dead assurance that I would be fixed TODAY, I get a call at 3:30 p.m. to tell me that they didn't schedule the second person required to do the repair....hm, that was the excuse used on me the first weekend.Mind you, I have been told to leave my house unlocked and keep the dogs locked up, because they needed access to the yard, only to find out no one ever shows up. I am gone 11 hrs a day, so with no water, that is a fine mess to deal with in regards to the dogs!I picked this company due to their high ratings and satisfaction rating with the BBB. However, I did not get one ounce of the fast and professional service so many others seem to have received.

Beware of this company. I went to Home depot for a water heater and they sent ARS Rescue Rooters of Austin Texas out to my home for an estimate.The sales associate looked at what I needed and went back to his truck to get a quote. Jim was his name and he came back stating that the cost would be $2380.00 for the heater and insatllation. He stated that he would give me a discount of $150.00 for Military/Law Enforcement. I thought this was cool until later I realized he took advantage of me. He did not give me an itemized list of what all the cost would be, but I trusted him and his company. When he left I added two and two and realized this seemed high for a water heater and installation. Called ARS and asked for an itemized receipt. The lady on the phone (Renee) was real helpful. After three days she sent me an email stating the items charged and a note stating our company owes you $331.00 back for an item that was charged but not installed. Spoke to the plumbing suoervisor who was also helpful. He apologized. I told him that if I would not have called I would have been taken for $331.00. He did not say a word. He said he will talk to the salesman about this. My opinion is that this is an on going practice with this company. So consumers beware always request an itemized list of whats being done and the cost for each item. If the comapny can't provide one go elsewhere. Home Depot is to blame as well for this.

Warning: sexist and discriminatory practice. I was told by an ARS plumber (Josh) on the phone that he would not come look at my water heater until my husband was home. He said he didn't want to waste his time because I wouldn't be able to make a decision without my husband there. This actually happened. In 2019. I'm still shocked. When I called to complain, they expressed outrage at the situation, but in the end, did nothing to remedy it. They sent out another plumber who gave me a quote $400 higher than their competitor.

My bathtub drain is clogged so I contacted ARS Rescue Rooter in the morning and was given a 2 - 6 pm window for when the plumber would come fix the issue. No problem. At 4:30, I received a call stating that I was the next customer and that the plumber would be at my home soon, once he had completed his current job. I heard nothing for two and a half hours so at 7 pm, I contacted support and was told dispatch would contact me soon with an update. Twenty minutes later, dispatch called and told me they had overbooked and that they wouldn't be able to service my issue today and said they would be rescheduling for tomorrow morning. As I have other plans for tomorrow, this was not an option. When I asked why I was told a plumber would be coming, I received no answer and the dispatcher just repeated they couldn't come out today. Thanks for a waste of an afternoon and forcing me to wait even longer to get my issue resolved. I've gone with another company and have no plans to contact Rescue Rooter again.

I called ARS to come out because of problems with my garbage disposal. The ARS guy came out and said that we needed a new disposal (we had just replaced the disposal about a year ago) and that it would cost $750 and the sink was clogged and that would be another $250. Since we had just replaced the disposal with another company, I knew that that price was extremely high, so I paid the $79 service call fee and sent him on his way. I definitely learned my lesson and we NOT be using ARS ever again.

Used to be a fairly reliable company but now seen to be pushing unecessary equipment and services. Last service visit the guy insisted we should buy Kickstarter hard start devices to prolong compressor life and offered a one time only price of $350 when they can be purchased for like $50 at Home Depot. A few days later they call and say they need to schedule a service check because of the Jan 2020 moratorium on Freon systems. He couldn't explain why that wasn't addressed by the recent service visit. Also had no answer when I called him on the fact that my systems use Puron not freon which they should have known since they installed the systems and had recharged them in the past. Pretty obvious they are now just trying to get extra money.

When ARS showed up they were extremely professional, and they asked me to show them the various spots they would be working on. During the installation, they had to ask various questions. Every time, they were professionally courteous. When it came time to review the installation, and walked me through all the parts of it.I was brought up to believe you can tell the quality of someone's work by what they left behind, not just what they did. When the team left, I found one small screw and an extremely small piece of copper piping. The only other evidence that they were even here was the fact that my air conditioner and heater were installed and working perfectly.

Don't use ARS if you have a choice. I didn't because they're a sub-con for Home Depot, but they're entirely unresponsively, in no way proactive. And in addition their office personnel seem to be completely void of any concern for their customer's satisfaction.Yesterday they committed to an 8-10am time slot for a toilet/sink re-install, which is already too wide of a time window, and I'm sitting here after Noon with no certain commitment for them to get someone out here within the next hour.I've had to become a project manager for my own service and had to pester them with phone calls pleading for someone, anyone, to keep me informed an updated on what's going on and the timelines that I can expect someone to be here. Did I receive any communication? NO. All my calls are outgoing.They've basically wasted my entire work day sitting and waiting for them to show up. All they have to do is be communicative and let people know what's going on, so we can plan around their crappy timelines. That would have helped.Don't use these guys if you can help it. And if you choose to, plan on being home all day waiting around for them.

Our experience with the ARS in an effort to get a hot water heater installed was an example of a poorly managed business showing no concern or consideration for there customers. After signing a $1700 contract to install the heater, ARS provided a time window for their appearance to complete the work. They not only failed to appear during their established time frame, they failed to show up at all. They never called to explain their delay or make contact with an explanation. After repeated calls to their office,, we received nothing. but a run-a-round and a promise to install the heater the following day. Guess what: The same thing happened again as they failed to show or contact us again. We cancelled this contract the following morning.

Neither passed on the info to the technician, who only had a 75' snake so couldn't clear the drain, so we would have had enough time to call someone else Saturday night if they'd told us upfront that they didn't have the required equipment.Technician said someone would be back Sunday with a 100' snake, but when no one had called by 10:30 am, I called again and they said this wasn't available until Monday.Net: lost a date night with my wife Saturday night, then all Sunday morning plans also lost just because I didn't get a straight answer from them.I canceled the service call and they seemed honorable about that at least.

Peter Wabbel has service my air-conditioner TWO times this year, but this is the first review I have done.One both occasions he conducted himself in a professional manner and has a great personality.However, the key thing is that he explains everything very clearly and makes recommendations when he believes they are necessary.Also, unlike some technicians, his work is excellent and I have never had any problems with the work he has done.On any issues with my Heating and AC units I will also request Peter.

The only reason they get 2 stars from me is that they used to be a good company. Every visit there is some 'dire warning' about whatever system they inspected. The plumbing inspector told me my connection to the street was faulty and needed multi thousands of repair......how would he know that????? He never went and looked at it. I was sitting on the porch the entire time and that area was in my full view. I was warned my entire A/C would need to be replaced (when my house was brand new) I had 2 friends quit working for them because if you aren't selling a lot of unnecessary expensive product you are a bad employee. I even overheard on guy, who was new to the area, Who said my entire kitchen sink needed replacing for no less than 600.00 when I needed the faucet replaced Then I overheard him on the phone with his supervisor who he told 'but we replaced the water heater only 2 years ago'. The last guy that came to inspect my Ac said it was in perfect condition with nothing to worry about. At least the workers there seem to have more integrity than the company itself.

The guys that came out were good at what they do, but went through Home Depot with these guys and they jacked up the price of the installation. They charged me $400 for a thermal expansion tank to get my water heater up to code and when I went to Home Depot to price the tank later it cost $39.00 at Home Depot for the same tank! They said that if I purchased the Thermal expansion tank from HD that they couldn't guarantee the workmanship of the installation and in order to guarantee it I needed to purchase the tank from ARS / Rescue Rooter's manufacture. I did choose to purchase a water heater from Home Depot which was $75 cheaper than if I purchased through ARS and they guaranteed that installation so go figure. Be cautions with the markup of companies that are outsourced by Home Depot.

Do not deal with this company. I spent a large amount of money to upgrade my air conditioner. I make monthly payments. Today the fan motor went out so I called ARS to get someone out here. For some reason accounting put my account on hold so they were unwilling to schedule service. It’s going to be over 100 degrees today. I will never do business with them again.Scott Buchanan

Extremely expensive, paid a lot for very little in return. Highly recommend looking elsewhere, recommend Service Wizard or Precision Heating and Cooling. Only reason for two stars is that they were able to come respond immediately, in hindsight, that comes with a massive price tag, like 2x everyone else.

We have used ARS/RESCUE ROOTER for our HVAC installation and maintenance for many years and have always been very pleased with the services and professionalism, from the initial telephone call to the final resolution of the problem. Peter Wabbel has been our technician from the beginning and has always been as knowledgeable, expert, and willing to explain the situation to our full understanding as he was on his last visit on Feb. 5th, 2019. He quickly and competently diagnosed the problem and initiated the steps to a quick resolution. Peter is always positive, reassuring, and has excellent people skills. The icing on the cake is that Peter has a marvelous sense of humor, which is always appropriate and very much appreciated by us!

I've been scheduled for 2 weeks in a row, first cancelled because they thought I needed an evaluation of my attic, and this week I've waited the entire hour window they set up, I finally called them and they said I don't believe we do service you are wanting. I asked why they set up the appointment to begin with?? The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. I'm going elsewhere, it's been over 2 weeks and I'm not one iota closer to my repair.

Adrian is outstanding. I called ARS over Labor Day Weekend because the toilet in our garage apartment was overflowing in a very bad way. ARS sent Adrian who stayed several hours to determine the source of the problem. It turns out that the plumber who did the construction left a test ball in the line. Adrian called a second ARS person with a camera to diagnose the problem. Then, they cut out the dry wall to remove the test bulb. It took about 5 man hours to diagnose the problem which was not easy. ARS had the experience and tools to get it done. After it was done, the charge was less than $100 with the coupon. ARS is definitely at the top of my list for service companies.

Oscar G and the ARS team were GREAT! We had some major issues with our heating and air in the house we just purchased that required some deep fact finding to determine what was going wrong. The previous owners had, or their representatives, had rigged the wiring on the units to cover up the faulty units. Oscar diligently worked to determine the issues with the system, calling in additional senior support given the unique issues he found so that the right answers were determined before proceeding with the servicing. Even with the challenges, and the extra time they had to spend, they worked within the contract estimate provided for the servicing. They were able to get the systems working, as well as work with us to determine the best path (repair/replace) for each of the 3 systems given their age. We were so impressed with the professionalism and service that we are using them to put in new systems for the units too old to warrant repair, and to maintain the units that still have some life in them. I would recommend Oscar G and the ARS team to anyone.

DO NOT USE A.R.S.! (at least in the Austin Texas area) FACT: They will rip you off.Our AC went out and they sent a tech out to service our problem. Well we thought. He said that we had a leak in the system. So we asked him to show us where the so called leak was . His reply Sorry sir, my equipment to do that was stolen last night and then told us he will do temporary fixes IF we pay them to buy a whole new system. ($5000) So we asked to talk to who we thought was the manager (most likely not) about the issue and the answer we got Sorry sir, that is not our problem and we owed ARS $80(+) for the service...(WHAT SERVICE???)1. The worker failed by not having the needed equipment or even notifying their manager of the so called stolen equipment. (most likely a bogus story)2. ARS failed for sending a worker to the site without the proper equipment and charging $80 for no service.

We called ARS since we had very satisfactory dealings with them previously and we knew they would come out on a Sunday. Justin Weeks responded promptly and spent several hours cutting into our wall, identifying the source of the break and repairing it, all while working around and cooperating with the agent from the water damage remediation service our insurance company had referred us to. He was courteous, communicated with us well, answered our questions and was just generally helpful. Thanks, Justin.

I was given a time block and explained to the rep that i am working and i am not sitting by the phone all day. Have the tech text me or just come. The response, oh we are just now hearing about this. What the flying f**** do you people do. This will be my second call as the first incompetent tech came out turned on all the water to tell me the water heater is going and some valve outside needs changed. And they need approval to do the work. Use them as plan z.

The techs that came out were good...but dealing with the Administrative Team at ARS has completely overshawdowed that positive part of my experience. I have used them for AC/Water Hetar and an Electrical issue...and each time I have had an issue with the Office Team.For example - I have given them my CC # at least 3 times, and they keep calling accusing me of not paying for a service. When I state that I have given them my CC # - they simply do not have it. I even called them back once to give it to them because I was tied up when they called...and they told me I did not have an open balance, then called back the next day looking for payment.They schedule things with me, and when I call they have no clue - like the City Inspection that no one told me about to get the rebate.IF you are looking for a Heating/AC company - they do not have their stuff together...keep looking.

He said absolutly and walked me through all the steps he was doing and what it meant. At the end I needed a couple of pounds of Puron and he walked me through that process as well. I appreciated the lesson from Mike and the conversation. I highly recommend Mike Fobbs and ARS for any HVAC work!

Dealt with two service Technicians, Ryan and CJ. Bought HVAC service for both heating systems from Home Depot. Ryan was dispatched from ARS within a few days to do the service. Of course there was a problem as ARS dispatched an A/C tech in error as the service requested by Home Depot was for a Fall Heating Check up.After Ryan had checked the units in the attic and said he was going out to check the outdoor units I asked why as I didn't think they had anything to do with the heaters. He showed me his order for A/C check-up. I showed him the Home Depot order for Heater check-up and he responded perfectly and contacted the office, set up the proper service to occur a week later. He was courteous and professional in advising the office and me of what occured and left me with a good impression of him and a little suspect of the communication between ARS and Home Depot.CJ arrive per appointment time, did the HVAC Fall Heater check up on both units per the agreed price. He was very professional and covered all the results of his evaluation of my 14 year old units and recommendations for the future. This man is a credit to ARS as was Ryan.I appreciate both these mens skill and attitude. My experience with the company is very limited but it was not equal to these men. They were excellent.
