Are you in need of a home services company that offers a complete set of plumbing services? Here at RupCoe Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we conduct comprehensive residential plumbing services to homes in the South Plainfield, NJ area. Our plumbing contractors specialize in repairs, installations and remodeling projects.
It's one of the most valuable plumbing devices in your home, and you should be doing everything you can to take good care of it. Your water heater provides a certain measure of comfort and convenience when performing daily tasks, such as washing clothes and dishes. If it were to malfunction you would no longer be able to take hot showers.
It's pretty common for debris to end up being flushed down our drains. Think about how often food particles, cooking oil and hair ends up in our sinks and showers. After enough time, these items might build up into clogs, which can obstruct the flow of water throughout a home. This can lead to several problems, from foul stenches to water leaks and burst pipes.
Fixing a busted gas line can be one of the riskiest tasks a homeowner can face. Once the problem is identified, to ensure safety, the job of conducting repairs should be left in the hands of an expert. Homeowners should never attempt to do it themselves. It takes one mistake to spark a fire or trigger an explosion that could damage your home or harm your family.

Scheduled an appointment a week ago for a faucet install and toilet install. Tech shows up at 4:34, looks at both jobs and leaves by 4:48. Had time to offer a service contract and bill me $64 for showing up, though. Avoid this company at all costs.
Edited to Add:
I did not schedule an estimate, I scheduled a service.
All of the below occurred in response to my google review and not the phone call I made to get an explanation.
By the way, a stand up company sends a refund for a service they did not provide, they don’t ‘offer’ it.
What actually happened is you blew off the job and collected

Basement flooding from the remnants of hurricane Ida knocked out my furnace and hw heater. Can't BELIEVE Rupcoe was able to come out same day and get it going again quick! Alex was polite, professional, prompt, and helpful. Patient with my questions.

I wanted access to water in my backyard. The first plumber that came out said they can't do it because crawl space not big enough. Derek came out And said it can be done not easy but possible. He did a great job.

RupCoe put in a new sump pump in our crawl space basement. Tom and Rick came out and reviewed the problem , they both agreed that a new pump was needed . They did a good job and were very easy to communicate with. I would recommend their services.

Avene was sweet and very understanding with all my needs. Howard & his team did my furnace and AC replacement. They were right on time, very professional, cleaned up after themselves like they were never here :)
I am honestly very happy with the service. I have had AJ Perri replace my water heater and that was one expensive service, compare to that.. these guys are doing great job and not breaking my bank at the same time.
thank you!

Our water heater mixture was broken, I call RupCoe because they had some good review in other sites. Unfortunately for us the mixture cartridge was discontinued. The plumber said that he called the manufacturer and they said it is not available, so nothing can be done about the shower. I then called the manufacturer to get the diagram, asked him if he can do anything with it. He said nothing can be done expect to replace the whole Standup shower stall as a unit, which was $3,000. I asked him 10 times if there any intermediate solutions and he said no.. I found another company who replaced it because

The driver is very aggressive at driving and dangerous. Getting you business around town is a big part of your business and should be done safely. Your driver ran my wife, kids and dogs off the road. My son has brittle bones and it could have gone a lot worse.

This update is tied to my overall review of the company. I did not use their services again; however, the company owner called me directly and promptly regarding the poor service I received, apologized, and issued a refund.

So here you go....
First of all, I have been in the construction industry for for over 30 years.
We happen to also own a hair salon that my wife operates and normally would deal with building related issues on my own. However, this week was abnormal lows in temps hitting 1 degree and experienced issues with our commercial roof top heating unit at which our temps in the salon dropped to a mere 58 degrees. I received a Facebook referral from a friend to try RupCoe to help... Our first call the office, the receptionist worked diligently to dispatch a tech to the business within a few hours and arrived

The only reason they get a 3 is because their customer service was very good, HOWEVER, their prices are very high. They gave me a quote of $690 to replace a sump pump, i got 3 additional quotes well below that price.

The additional 3 quotes were all licensed plumbers.

Would not recommend, the technician who came out was rude and attempted to upsell on buying a new boiler which was 7500$.
We went with another company and our heater was fixed in less than 20 minutes

OMG, I wish we'd gone to Yelp before we contracted with these people. We have a condo in Bedminster and the water heater broke one day and it had a sticker on it that said it was installed by RupCoe so we called them to diagnose and fix the problem. Turns out the solution is to get a new hot water heater. I never would have gone with somebody with a two star rating. Hindsight, eh?

So they charged far more than any of our friends said was reasonable for the task. In the process of removing the water heater, they broke some trim and got greasy hand prints on the wall and stains on the carpet

I can't speak for the earlier reviews, but, I have to say these guys took good care of me, today July 4th.

We got up this morning, took showers, and it overflowed our kitchen sink. The sink had previously been clogged and I'd snaked it but CLEARLY did not do a good job of it. Called them as an emergency service call, they came out within 2 hours, used their uber snake, and got us up and running.

The price was high, but lets be honest: it was July 4th. $129 for the service call and then another 280 for the snaking. I acknowledge that this price is likely high, but again, emergency

There was a leak from our condo which trickled into our neighbor's ceiling. We called them in to look for the leak. The plumber could not find any leaks and said that it was some sort of splurge that caused the stain on the ceiling. He charged $432!!! He spent 40 mins looking for this leak which he couldn't find. Two days later we found the leak was from the hot water heater right next to the bathroom.
These guys are huge rip offs. I called them back two days later to understand why they charged such an exorbitant amount for a leak search and to tell them that we found the leak which

See my review from 7/14/15. Angelo did come out and plunged my toilet as Tom K. was supposed to the first time he came out. He didn't charge me because it was a job that initially wasn't done properly. He also did check my AC and told me nothing was wrong with it. He really didn't go above and beyond to help me, he just did the job that I overpaid this company to do in the first place and ended up wasting a lot of my time (and money) as a result. I also don't appreciate being misquoted because I NEVER said that I would recommend this company to anyone or any of that-"

Had a service call for my furnace in the last few days. Called and the lady on the phone was very helpful and nice.
The service guy showed up at the time they estimated. Angelo was his name, and this guy was professional, upfront, honest and courteous. He also did the repair in a very short amount of time.

Now, look... I know everybody has to make money, but I have a problem with their price structure. So my furnace needed a new thermocouple. The part costs about $13 at home depot, this means that Rupcoe buys it at lets say $10.
So after buying it for $10, they sell it at $330!!! To me, that
