No job is perfect. Mar 20, 2025

My original plumber bailed on my project to convert from a power vent gas water heater to a hybrid electric. Reached out to many plumbers and Rick Hartman came through. The original quote was $595 which I thought it was a great deal. I sent the pictures of the current setup and everything was ready to go. Then the technician came through and said it was more complicated and requested to delay the project by 2 days. Then on the day, they requested another 2 days due to staffing. Also since it was more complicated, they wanted to change the pricing to labor hr + material. On the day of the work, the first technician showed up at 9 and the second technician at 9:30. It was a two-man job since the 65-gallon hybrid is heavy. So the final bill was ~$1000, 4.75 hours + ~$215 material. The physical work was done at 1:35 pm. I am not surprised by the invoice amount but did not get a list of material used. In short, if you have a simple water heater replacement at the flat rate, I think Rick is a great resource. Included pics of the draining pan and the piping. I supplied the expansion tank, PVC 3-inch cap, and draining pan. The owner contacted me and provided an updated material list and cost. Other than the traditional markup, the material cost is reasonable. After using the unit and the installation for a couple of days, the condenser tube was cut too short and does not reach the floor drain. No job is perfect. This is for the business RHP.

Highly Recommend Hartman Plumbing! Feb 10, 2025

Excellent service. I called this morning with a clogged basement drain, and they were out in a few hours, fixed the problem, and left the area spotless. All this and cost much less than a national company I contacted first. I highly recommend Hartman Plumbing!

Kendrick was very nice and knowledgeable Nov 18, 2024

Kendrick was very nice and knowledgeable. I hope the issue with my plumbing is fixed! We have had plenty of plumbers, and this guy did seem very knowledgeable. The jury's out, but so far it seems fixed!

Quick, Professional, Polite and Respectful Nov 14, 2024

Yesterday, Nov 13, all of a sudden, I needed a new hot water tank. My previous plumber was out of business and a neighbor recommended Rick Hartman Plumbing. It turned out that that was the best ever recommendation. Their service was quick, professional, polite, and respectful. I highly recommend them.

Efficient and got the job done right! Nov 10, 2024

Hats off to Rick Hartman Plumbing and plumber extraordinaire Dan Carpenter! I'm sure he probably didn't want to come out on a call on a rainy Sunday afternoon during the Steelers game any more than WE wanted to have to call a plumber, but you'd never know! Dan was courteous and the most knowledgeable plumbing professional we've EVER had in our home over many years. Efficient and got the job DONE right! SO happy! Alright, Dan!!

No More Surprising Leaks! Sep 26, 2024

Had 5 copper pipes with pinholes so, after a year of changing to PEX each time, we decided to have all the plumbing changed. No more surprising leaks! The 2 men, Steve and Nick, met all our expectations…knowledgeable, neat, and very respectful. So pleased with their work ethic… top notch!
