Spartan Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning is a full service residential plumbing company that services the Washington, DC metropolitan area including Maryland and Northern Virginia. Spartan's highly trained plumbers can handle any residential repair or replacement of water heaters (gas or electric), garbage disposals, sump pumps, sewage ejectors, faucets, sinks, toilets, tubs and showers.
The bathroom is arguably one of the most important rooms in the house. Given its nature, poorly maintained bathrooms are prone to plumbing issues such as leaks and breakages. A simple leak or breakage of a faucet in the bathroom can quickly escalate, inhibiting access to the bathroom. In essence, it's vital to contract a qualified professional to address any plumbing concerns.
A leaky faucet may seem like more of an annoyance than anything else, but it can still create a big problem. Even a small water leak can result in higher water bills and potential water damage. Low pressure can also cause frustrations, especially in shower faucets and kitchen sinks. If your faucet needs repair, it's best to address it soon, and avoid potentially larger problems later on.
Kitchen plumbing problems can easily escalate into unimaginable proportions if not addressed in quickly. Common plumbing issues you should look out for include faucet leaks and under-sink water damage, kitchen sink clogs, slow drainage (blockage) and garbage disposal jams / problems. These issues have the capability of derailing just about every activity in the kitchen.

They hooked our gas line back to the house. It didn't pass inspection the way they installed it so I was without heat for 5 days in the winter. Then the inspector came back and it still was not installed properly so again another two day delay. Then they wanted to charge for the job even though it wasn't finished. DO NOT RECOMMEND. They also charge double the price of most plumbers and refuse to provide an itemized receipt. Not professional or competent.

Would definitely never call again. I called them for two issues one year ago:
1) Faucet was not working: the plumber said the faucet was broken and it was not an issue with the line, and that I needed to buy a new faucet then call again. After buying a new faucet, and asking someone else to install it, I still don't have water, because the problem was with the line and NOT the faucet. $500 on new faucet and installation wasted.
2) AC was not cooling enough: They said it low on Freon, and charged A LOT to refill (for labor and materials). Since then, I have had to refill again, with another

I was in a pinch like many of you. I needed a water heater replaced. 15 years ago a friend and I installed the one I needed replacing so I am very familiar with my water room. This time I decided to use a Professional company to do the work so I chose Spartan since Michael and Sons could only come 5 days later. Service advisor told me job would be $3500. I agreed as I am on the board for the community that I live in, so I had a great idea of what the job would entail.
The Techs were very nice but the end result was that I was left with leaky pipes and a new issue for over 5 days. They

I had Spartan come to give me an estimate on a minor job. Guy showed up as planned, looked over the job, and left. A month later I still haven't heard from them about an estimate. I called and reminded them that I was waiting. No response. Totally unprofessional. If you can't do the job, why not have the courtesy to call and let me know?

Company is a scam and unreliable. They did not show up on two consecutive appointments and when they did show up, they told me they don't work on appliances and left within 15 minutes and charged me over $200. When I called to speak to the manger, they didn't have the work order of work completed. I hired another plumber of resolved the issue.

If zero stars were an option, it would be my rating. Appointments scheduled with no show/ no call from the technician or company to notify. When I made contact with the company, each staff member that I spoke with was extremely unprofessional. Bobby, Wendy, Sherron and the unresponsive manager Chris. My deposit was taken on a service I did not receive and I was given the run-around on a rescheduling. Sherron was unnecessarily sarcastic and very unbecoming of what a company would want as a representative of their business. As a military veteran and current business owner, the service I received

Not impressed. On Thursday morning, I submitted an email request for them to come out on Friday between 7a-12p. They called me Thursday afternoon to confirm and said that the tech would call about an hour prior to arrival. By 11:15a, Friday I hadn't heard anything, so I called to make sure I hadn't somehow missed them. I was told that they were still working a job that was taking longer than scheduled, and that they would call as soon as they were finished. It's now after 5pm and...crickets.

They charged my credit card without advising me. then, in trying to solve the issue, i tried numerous times to talk to somebody and get this resolved. they always told me" tomorrow" and never dealt with it or called me back. i ended up calling the credit card company for resolve.
unprofessional behavior by Spartan...do not use them or they might charge your cc without reason.

I wait all day for the technician to come and then Spartan calls me at 5:30pm on a Friday telling me they are on their way. I rescheduled with them for Monday. Monday comes around they show up, technicians are friendly and somewhat knowledgeable. One of them does the inspection and tells me he will get back with a quote the next day, 7 days have gone by and I have yet to get a quote.

What a joke. Made an appointment days ahead of time, they gave me a window of 10am-2pm. When the day comes, I stay home and wait for the technician. Guess what, nobody came. Spartan never even reached out to tell me they won't make it, I had to contact them.
A heads up would've been really appreciated as this was very inconsiderate of my time. Highly recommend trying anybody else before these jokers.

I'm so glad I didn't listen to some of the reviews on here. We had an initial quote from Roto Rooter for $1200 and Spartan came in and did the work for a third of the cost! They were timely, gave me a courtesy call to let me know their ETA and did a great job with the work. Trent was very nice and professional and even ran out to get an extra part at their HQ so I wouldn't need them to come back a second time. Would definitely recommend!

There's a reason there's so many terrible recent reviews - this company is terrible.
I called to schedule a plumbing appointment for a Saturday two weeks out, and was given a window from 12-5pm. Didn't hear anything from the company on Friday or Saturday morning confirming the appointment or with a more specific time, so called Saturday morning to make sure we were still on.
I was assured that I was scheduled for service, but they wouldn't give me a specific time and said the plumber would be in touch. So I proceeded to spend my entire Saturday afternoon waiting to hear something

I can't recommend this company strongly enough. After using two different home warranty companies, both of which assigned awful contractor after awful contractor, I decided to look up a company myself for a sump pump repair/replacement. Wade from Spartan came out that same day, around 7PM on a Friday no less, to diagnose the issue. Then a week later came out to replace the sump pump and also fixed a low water pressure issue in the kitchen.
Look, I get that home warranty companies are appealing in terms of peace of mind, but after my experience with Spartan, and specifically Wade, I'm

I've never had such disrespectful or bad service from any company. We called to schedule an appointment for a few issues about a week ahead of time so that one of my roommates could take off work for the appointment. Our window was broad - 7:00 am-12:00 pm - so she took a half day. At 12:15, I called Spartan to see why no one had come. They said they were running late and were hoping to get to us by 5:00 pm. That's five hours after our window!
I was understanding and asked if they could push it to be after 6:00 pm so someone would be home. They agreed and said they'd be calling

We found Spartan via Google last year - may have (mistakenly) avoided if I had read one or two of these reviews. This was the second time we have needed them and we have only had positive experiences.
They came out quickly to fix our AC unit (painfully located on our roof in DC). Edgar was professional, friendly, (importantly) thorough, and explained things to me, which I appreciated. I will certainly be calling them next time we need HVAC work.

They came to work on my heating boiler. The pilot light was out.
They got the pilot light lit by cleaning the thermocoupler, and then the serviceman was out the door so fast that i couldn't even confirm that our radiators were all heating up...
sure enough, one of the radiators didn't heat up...
it's been multiple calls back to Spartan to try to get a service man to come back. Super annoying...
They seem totally confused and disorganized. I would not recommend them.
If someone named Jay answers - I wish you the best of luck, because you are going to need it.

I emailed Spartan over the Blizzard weekend(1/22-24 '16) and they never got back to me. So I called them on Monday morning to ask for a free estimate for a system that may or may not be working. They told me that it would be a charge to work on it $89 for the first 30 minutes and some godawful number after that. I said all I needed was an estimate, I didn't need any work to be done. I explained that I am a real estate agent and that my client is buying a property and that the HVAC had not been tested because it is a water system and the water had not been on previously. I told the manager

I called Spartan to schedule an emergency visit to fix our AC. A technician called right away but told me he cannot come until next day. So much for emergency service they advertise. He told me that he will call next day to schedule a visit. No call, so I called back and left a message again. He ended up never calling back. Never using this company again.

/sad to say our recent experiences with Spartan have been pretty awful. Last year they came out to look at our HVAC & diagnosed that we needed a new fan (expensive), When i asked if it might instead be the issue we had the previous year (a clogged hose), they said doubtful...but that's exactly what it was, not a broken fan. Our HVAC crapped out again this past week & this time they told us within 5 minutes that we needed a new compressor - a $5k fix, We were skeptical and got a second opinion.... turns out our compressor is completely fine & there was just an issue again with the
