Report
We have a new build home and nobody could figure out why our house wasn't cooling. We had 3 technicians come over and tell us the Freon was low. for over a year it kept leaking. We decided to give Foster's heating and air one more try to find the leak. We were so excited when Joey Jeffer found the leak. He literally spent 6 hours at our house searching, diagnosing and ultimately fixing the leak. We are so grateful for his time, determination and professionalism. We definitely will be using this company/Joey again.

I wish all of my dealings with vendors would be as smooth as working with Danny (and Jeff through Danny). You can tell that their level of service and decisions are influenced by their positive moral compass. A visit from Danny feels like a visit from a friend who happens to also be an HVAC expert!

It was my good fortune to share the road with Foster Plumbing and Heating's number 56 van this afternoon. As we approached an unexpected road hazard, the van slowed down and made room for not only I but the car behind me to safely merge around the obstacle. I really appreciate the proactive driving that helped turn a potentially dangerous situation into one that was safely navigated. If your employee's driving is any reflection on your service, I know your customers are in good hands

We had a late night shower leak and Foster's came highly rated in our Google search. So we called and got FELIX, he did not disappoint. He was professional, precise and reassuring that our "emergency " was a easy fix. He gave us several options for appointments and was very explanatory of the whole process. He knocked out the job quickly and cleaned up after he was done. Only negative was I paid twice as much as I expected. But, it's nice to be on this side of you get what you pay for.. so, problem solved and on to the one.

They charged over $900 for a two man team to do less than three hours of work. They installed two standard Delta bathroom faucets and a Kohler toilet--all supplied by me and at the premises when they arrived. I did not get an estimate in advance and was shocked by the charge. In addition, one plumber gouged the vanity countertop when installing one of the sinks, causing several deep and noticeable marks.
The manager later came to our home and inspected the countertop. He said the plumber who damaged it was no longer with the company. The manager also said he would have the countertop repaired. The manager is currently working with a contractor to arrange for repair or replacement.
