Terrible Service and estimate over $700 an hour

This was the worst experience of my life, dealing with a plumber. I would never recommend this company to anyone not even my worst enemy First of all you committed to coming out on a Friday and called me a half hour before coming saying that you could not make it.

Then you committed for me to be the first client of the day the following Monday and did not arrive here until after 1:15. Then your plumber looked at the Kitchen sink faucet and said that it would cost me $1100 to replace a faucet And that was only for the service. I then asked him how long it would take him. He said no more than an hour and a half so according to my math that is over $700 an hour.

Are you guys kidding me? Then he proceeded to say that I had to give him $152 just for the estimate. I Reluctantly paid him, but will definitely not recommend you to anyone in this development or any of my friends. In fact, I will blast you on Facebook shortly.

This is unbelievable unethical and Im not sure how your business is an existence for over 50 years. You definitely need to figure out how to do things better

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. We as a fellow company fixed their mistake, and now have a new customer

Original review May 14, 2025

I want to thank this company for doing such a terrible job, creating a very pissed customer. That pissed customer called the plumbing company her friends suggested.

She didn't want to call you back, as she was afraid of inadequate service again.

My company fixed it and we have another happy customer. Keep up the good work!

Mis diagnosed my ac unit

Omg! Where to begin?

I was having issues with my A/C, and I called Weltman to come look at it. They came and saw that my circuit breaker was tripped; the technician tried to turn it on once but it tripped again. Instead of looking at the problem, he kept trying to turn on the circuit, and I saw smoke and sparks coming out. He went to the outdoor unit, and God knows what he did.

He came to me and said the outdoor unit compressor is grounded, quoted me $8000 to replace it, and can't guarantee if it will work even after replacement. So I told him I would give a call later. I took my multimeter and went to check it myself; to my surprise, it was the capacitor that was bad, not the compressor. I was shocked that he recommended replacing the entire unit for a $20 capacitor.

Hire an experienced technician; I want Weltman to replace my circuit breaker.

I also paid $400 for misdiagnosis and no help whatsoever. I don't have A/C and I'm scared to turn it on after replacing the capacitor.

Predators of the elderly, price gouging the innocent who don't know better . Makes the American dream a nightmare.

Original review Aug 30, 2024

If this company was any more filled with excrement I'd need galoshes. They scheduled me three separate times with a 4 hour window and canceled an hour before each and every time.

Never called me back after I called them to rectify situation and sounded annoyed everything I called. They only wanted to schedule me after 12 midnight to charge me a premium price. This is the McDonald's of plumbing *** fondu.

An extravagant explosion of excrement. Predatory towards the elderly, total disgrace.

I waited from 12:00 to 4:30 and finally was told it needed to be canceled.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I made an appointment to have a chandelier installed. It was ready to hang and the circuits were in place.

My service call was scheduled between 12:00 and 4:00. I called at 1:00 to make sure we were still on for the service. Then I called at 3:30 and was told nothing changed they were coming. Then by 4:30 they finally called and said there was an emergency so most likely I would not get my service call because the technician didnt know if he could come.

This is when I was not happy. I told them I am a new customer and I called twice today to confirm and now I am being told it most likely would be canceled and theywould recommend rescheduling. I informed them I had waited all day and called twice to confirm and at 4:30 they decided to cancel because they didnt know when he would be done. I said I am a new customer and waited all day and confirmed twice and now you are informing me of this.

I told them I would hire someone else if he did not come and complete my service. I was told to hold on and then informed they would come in 45 minutes. The tech arrives I told him the situation he then looked at what needed to be done and within 10 minutes wanted to charge me over a thousand dollars. The chandelier I bought doesnt have any hanging crystals it is a simple fixture with scooped arms.

The wires are ready to attach he explained what he needed to do. I said the price was absolutely not acceptable. He said fine and then wanted to charge me a service fee of 89:00. dollars to walk in and give me 10 minutes of his time.

I new there was a fee for assessment of job but after all I had to do to just get him to my home This was not acceptable to me.

I told him I had a 20 minute discussion with their scheduling person trying to get the tech to come and the whole thing became very stressful and definitely no good business practice. I would highly advice not to use this business because if you are scheduled for a service and an emergency comes up they will it inform you till the last minute.

My experience with the technician

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I explained vividly about the electric situation

from the furnace to the thermostat.

He and his partner tested from the main electric to the heater switch

and my expense in I thought that it would be covered, since I had the warranty coverage with the plumbing and electric

it was basically talking to a brick wall

I felt

betrayal

stupid

and overall

irritated

I don't recommend this and

They don’t do what they promise - and they over charge

This company would charge us a monthly fee for a "special membership" that guaranteed 24/7 service. However on two occasions when we were out of heat (they had installed the heater) in the later evening/night and called them, we were literally told by the person who took the call that they didn't have anyone at night - not that the technician was on a different night call, but that "all technicians had gone home." That person also told me they did not know why they had that 24/7 information on their website and it was not the first time they had to deal with it, the misalignment between company's promises they charge you for and what they actually provide.

After a long and stressful conversation with the manager they returned us one or two of those $20 monthly fees (and even that was after a long conversation, initially they were not going to do that).

So, naturally, we cancelled the monthly fee that covered free diagnostic calls. Next time we called when heater was not working, we were told to pay a $149 service call fee.

UNRELIABLE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We made an appointment for 4 days out for a hardwired washer/dryer in a rental unit to be changed over to an outlet. I was told they would call 30 minutes ahead and work would likely be done in the morning.

I never heard from them on the morning of service, so I called and left a message. They called me back after awhile to let me know they weren't coming out anymore.

My tenant took off a day of work for this, and we have Lowes delivering our new washer dryer tomorrow morning which they now can't do since the electrical work won't be done. Very unprofessional and unreliable.

Weltman Home Services - I guess they’re just out for the $$$...what a shame.

I called 10 days ago with a slow bathtub drain. I had used snakes and used liquids but it was still slow.

Figured I’d better call while the problem was small. Technician was very nice. He sold me a solution to use 5 nights then every month. It was $185 which I refused.

Somehow it then became $131so I agreed and used. That was in addition to the $319 to unclog the drain. My drain is now completely clogged and has 4 inches of standing water. Also when u turn on the sink the water go into the tub.

I called Weltman - assuming they would come out and fix the problem I paid $300+ for...nope, not unless I agreed to pay $75, again, to have someone come out. I pulled out the receipt and sure enough: “there is no warranty on today’s work”. They obviously do not stand behind their work.

Run, do not walk, away from this company. (To Weltman: do not call me as I have someone else coming to fix your mess)

The Worst

Updated by user Sep 25, 2018

I would not call them scam artist just 50x more expensive than they should be . Shame on them, and shame on anyone who uses them

Original review Sep 24, 2018

I called them to fix a floaty on a sump pump that cost $6. They tried to convince me I needed a new pump (I showed tech it was working) and he gave me a proposal for $1000.

I had another service company come right after them and they fixed the whole thing is 7 minutes. the part cost $6,$6!

After they gave the $1000 quote I said that is a joke and the tech said " I sell the product but dont set the prices" He knew that they price was ridiculous.

He also started walking around the house and pointed to our "Old" heating unit " hot water" heater etc and telling me what was wrong with them when Nothing is. We have great heat in house and great hot water. He was just trying to drum up business.

He knew that I was not a sucker when I started questioning him on what he was doing. I would not call him a scam artist but definitely there are better companies out there to deal with who are honesy

Weltman Home Services - Plumbing Service Review from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The laundry sink drain in our basement was clogged & since I had seen a Weltman truck in our neighborhood (New Providence, NJ) I phoned for a quote but was told a $49 charge would be incurred when the rep came and assessed the job. When he came several hours later he agreed it was the line from the laundry sink to the main drain and quoted $285 plus tax.

I told him I thought that price was very steep (since I'd seen competitor ads for $99) and asked if there were a discount (senior, veteran etc). He said NO but could waive the $49 house call charge ? and showed me an Ipad with Weltman's charges for drain cleaning ( which displayed a price above $500 for a laundry sink but he said he would use the $285 charge shown for a vanity sink ? At this point I reluctantly agreed since it would have cost $49 to decline and have him leave.

He used a hand held electric snake and was able to clear the clog. I asked about a warranty and when he asked for how long I suggested 60 days to which he replied he could do 30 days. Yesterday, 38 DAYS LATER, the drain clogged again so I phoned Weltman and explained that we are 8 days beyond the 30 day warranty the rep gave and asked for them to re do the job at no cost since it happened so soon and just my wife and I reside in the house and don't run the clothes washer very often. I was treated as though it was my original request ($49 plus whatever the rep would want after coming) so I asked the woman if I could speak with a mgr but she said he wasn't there.

I asked if she would have him call me and she said she would E Mail him and request that he call me. Within minutes, the same woman called me back and said her mgr said 30 days was the policy. She asked if I wanted a rep to come out. I said I would get back to her after I thought about it.

I then phoned a well known competitor and asked for a quotes since they advertise "Any drain cleaned for $99". On the phone they said $99, came two hours later and used a large machine on wheels (vs the small hand held tool Weltman used). This man ran that snake 75 feet out into the line that goes to the street (vs 20 feet the Weltman tech told me he did). Not only did this new company honor their $99 advertised price but applied a 5% Senior discount without being asked AND warranties the job for a FULL YEAR during which they will come again AT NO Charge one time.

Weltman charged us THREE TIMES as much and obviously didn't do the job properly and then wanted $49 to return (plus probably another $285 to do it again).

PS: Before writing this, I phoned Weltman today to tell them of my displeasure as well as the fact that I had to spend an additional $99 to do the job after paying them THREE TIMES that much just 38 days prior (during which we may have used the clothes washer a half dozen times). The man I spoke with today offered nothing but said he would make his manager aware and took my name and phone.

During the 6 months since I wrote this report, Weltman has continued to mail us offers for various services (which we ignore). However, when they have phoned us (twice) we made them aware of our initial complaint that they have failed to remedy. Obviously, they are more interested in trolling for new customers than satisfying existing customers.

WeItman has not contacted us during the 30 days sine I made them aware of our dissatisfaction. I will continue to make friends and neighbors aware of our bad experience with them.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My furnace was leaking water all over my basement floor and I called Weltman Home Service at 7 AM and I had someone over by 9:30 AM. The service man was Hector Figueroa who was very peasant and took the time to explain what the problem was.

I was pleased with the quick service and everything seems to be fine. So far I have no complaint about the service I get. I am very happy that Anton Cunningham suggested that we sign up for the service contract when he was out servicing our furnace.

I will continue to report back in the future if there is any update. Anna

Overpriced

I had a 12 foot section of old iron pipe that was starting to show cracks and chips and looked like it needed to be replaced by PVC. It was in the basement and is the waste pipe leading out to our septic system in the backyard.

I called Weltman and they came over and gave an estimate of $1,600. Weltman said the pipe was ready to burst and that it was an emergency that I get it fixed and that they were giving me a good deal. The price sounded completely outrageous and I had time to get other estimates. The very next plumber I called came over and gave estimate of $400.

He also said the waste pipe was not going to burst and in time could leak, and its not an emergency, but still a good idea to replace it.

Of course I went with the second estimate and they were able to fit me in the same day. Glad I shopped around and didn't go with Weltlman.

Sump pump installation: the bad and the good

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

During major rain storm, my sump pump konks out and water is entering my basement. I called Weltman at 5:00 and was told service technician would be by around 8:00, i called at 7:30 to be sure they were coming, water still coming in, and was told it would now be 1:00am!

I called another company and was told 9:00. Then at 8:30, Weltman guy shows up surprisingly, so I cancel other company. Weltman guy quotes me - brace yourself - to just install a sump pump that I bought for $300 at Lowe's - brace yourself - $579!!! What can I do?

The water is still coming in. He installs it in under an hour and doesn't want to take the old pump and garbage with him. The new pump does the job, but I'm stewing over the price - I had to get the work done or else my basement would be a flood zone. The next day I call to speak with a boss, leave my name and number, a manager calls back soon after, I tell my sad story, emphasizing their price was DOUBLE the $200-$300 I expected to pay for a nighttime emergency job and - brace yourself - she took $250 off the price!!!

So now I don't feel totally abused, but why would the initial price have been so out of wack? My guess is they get what they think they can get - no set prices - not the best business model!

Prices way to high. I had called for a pipe repair, the work was done and I'll admit there are no issues at with the repair.

Just do your research so you get a fair price - Im too embarassed to even say what they charged, it was, in my opinion a few hundred higer than it needed to be. Also, be mindful of their "service contracts" strings attached (but then again doesnt that seem how most service contracts are)

ESTIMATE OVER CHARGE

I recently lost heat in my home... I contacted Weltman as they had installed the furnace in my home...A rep ( named David ) came to my home.

He advised my wife that that I needed a new circuit board and that the cost would be $1,087.00 with a contact and $1,146.00 without a contract.. My wife went on line and advised the rep that a circuit board can be purchased for about $180.00.. He seemed annoyed at my wife.. He wrote up the estimate and left it with us..

I called in another Company who advised me that that it wasn't the circuit board and all I needed was to change my air filter and move the snow from my vent.. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!
