These guys fixed my furnace quickly and it seems to be working fine. The problem I have is that they spent two hours talking to me about cannibal satanists that were infiltrating the school boards and the fact that JFK Jr. is going to rise from the dead and help Trump get back into the White House. Pretty good plumbers but averall horrible people.

I just had JGP install a new water heater system. My options were explained really well and I have so much hot water when and where it is needed. Jeremy is a perfectionist. So many people have complimented his neat and precise installation. So, my 2nd experience with JGP was as great as my first!

Had faucet repair and geothermal maintenance done. Both workers were on time, pleasant, knowledgeable and left the work area cleaner than when they arrived. Office staff could not be more helpful. Service: Faucet repair

Installed a complete heat pump system in an existing house. Mini-split for the ground floor, conventional ducted system with air handler in the attic for the second floor. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, professional, and clearly competent. They showed up on time for all appointments. They made very little mess, considering how many places they had to cut through sheet rock, and cleaned up after themselves.
To top it all off, their quote was the lowest of the three we got. (Didn't select them on price; selected them based on the overall impression we got from those we dealt with.) System works great. 5 stars in every possible way.
