Weltman Home Services

Unfortunately — they simply did not work out for us. Put in a partial request via Service Magic and even though did not complete the request, I was contacted by Weltman (that by itself should have thrown tons of red flag). Fill valve assembly needed replacement and I had the new washer and assembly already purchases. I was told the visit charge would be around $ 49, which would be taken off from the final bill, if we authorize repairs.
Estimate to replace the washers and the fill valve — $ 306!!! That’s for something that’s less than 30 minutes of effort. Heart surgeons — make a note of this — you went to the wrong school!
Needless to say — paid $ 49 + tax for the man to «show up» but did not go ahead with repairs and decided to do did it myself. Plan to file a complaint with better business bureau.

While no one wants to replace a furnace and piping, Weltman made it easy along the way with their professionalism and high service level. From the estimator who diagnosed the issue, to the scheduler, to the installation personnel; all answered questions and delivered exceptional service and products. The installer Herb was excellent at his job and friendly. The unit is guaranteed for life, as well.

They did an awesome job on a furnace that completely died. They replaced 2 major electrical components because they had the parts on the truck but unfortunately there was one more wire they needed which they had to order. Now I just need to get them back before the freezing temp this weekend. I’m hoping that part shows up today so this review can really be 5 stars.

Part of being a suburbanite, (one who lives in the suburbs) involves using outdoor faucets to get access water for doing outside chores from water plants to washing the car. As time passes, it should happen that faucets will no longer turn to wear and tear.
With that in mind, we called the services above for assistance. At first we were told that we would be visited by a technician on the same day we called, sometime in the afternoon, however they were kind enough to tell us that, the technician would not be able to make it, but would instead the visit the next day.
Take note the visit alone already has an automatic fee of $ 50. Upon his assessment, he would be changing the front and back faucets and changing one of the shutoff valves on the inside for the water.
Even with one faucet and valve provided for the work the total estimate came to $ 752 After tax) for the work. It seemed kinda pricey, but being ignorant of how to compare prices and that fact there is a $ 50 charge for the visit. The work was done in a professional manner, though as usual in afterthought it juse «felt» very expensive.
Readers, you have any similar experiences please share them with me and post here.

I’ve been using Weltman for a few years. They’re very prompt & it’s very easy to arrange an appointment. No waiting from 8 – 4! They just came for a drink that they had unclogged a couple of months ago & it was covered by their 90 day warranty. No questions asked that it could’ve been our fault. Jason was very nice (he even offered to bring in my garbage cans!) & everything was left spotless. Will continue using them. They’re worth every penny.

I’ve had a pretty good experience with Weltman. They are always available when you call them and for the most part, they are punctual with their appointment time frames. Hector was so knowledgeable and patient with my fiancé and me. We are first time home buyers and our air conditioning unit broke the day after we moved in! Hector really related to us when we were worried about our expenses and even waived the diagnostic fee. He was knowledgeable about the unit and answered all our questions effectively. The overall cost of repairs ended up being less than he quoted us, which was a huge plus. They ordered the required parts quickly and will be back this week to finish the job. I appreciated working with him and I would highly recommend asking for him if you call Weltman Home Services!

Rich did a plumbing inspection of my home which is part of my gold service contract. He came exactly when I requested, used his «booties» to keep the house clean and provided me with what he thought were potentially needed repairs along with a few options. I decided to do 2 of the recommendations and he did the work in a timely manner and was efficient and pleasant.

Thank You Rich for the excellent service and attention to detail when you came to unplug our
sewer line. Rich was polite, got right to work and he was appreciative of the help I gave him. I would call Weltman again for plumbing needs and will ask for Rich.

I am absolutely appalled by Weltman’s service and behavior.
My roommate who is a non-​native English speaker got an estimate from Charles Pipitone and Mike (his boss) for an AC repair, here are their numbers.
Diagnostic — $ 323.00
Refrigerant — $ 640.00
System Level Check — $ 899.00
Replace thermostat — $ 493.00 (Bought a new one myself for $ 35.00)
Lock out caps — $ 87.00
Secondary somethingorother — $ 239.00
Service System — $ 89.00
Total — $ 2,770.00
Charles and Mike were pushy and completely unprofessional. «You wan’t AC don’t you?» «You’re not working with me.» «Why are you working with me?». «Come on, let’s do this.» «You paid $ 50 for us to come out here, you just wasted that money»
Oh yea, they charge $ 50 just to come out and give an estimate.
We decided to get a second estimate from Ice Age Heating & Air Conditioning in Wood Ridge, NJ. First, they did a free diagnostic and said all that stuff Weltman wanted to charge was totally unnecessary and they were taking advantage of us. Ice Age numbers:
Refrigerant — $ 65.90
Filter replacement — free
AC unit service and cleaning — $ 150.00
Tax — $ 15.05
Total — $ 230.05
Weltman tried to charge 10X the price for a bunch of useless services. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Use Ice Age, they are honest and our AC works fine now. I will also be reporting them to the BBB.

Total ripoff artists. Had them come look at a clogged toilet. My son had flushed something down the toilet and it got stuck. Cliff notes version is they started with a price of 1400… I said thanks but no thanks and then this became let’s make a deal as the tech kept lowering the price on his way out the door. They made one last attempt to get the sale by ringing the bell after they had left. Apparently a call to the supervisor got me a HUGE discount and they could do it for just under 500. I politely said no thanks and will be doing it myself this weekend. I think he thought he had us in a bind. When I explained I’m capable of pulling a toilet myself and had two thee toilets is when the let’s make a deal train began. Wouldn’t call them again for anything.

Overall I was very pleased with the service.

We had used Weltman because they were willing to come out on Labor Day to fix an emergency issue. We then used them to install an electrical outlet outside our house and it stopped working about 6 months later. Since there is only a 90 day guarantee they won’t fix it, and if I want them to come take a look at it I have to pay again (why would I want that? They obviously don’t know what they’re doing). I also had a bad experience with their plumbers. I had one guy come out and say he couldn’t snake a drain without removing the entire sink from the wall and that a toilet had to be rebuilt to fix the water from running. When a different guy cam to do the rebuild (that I had to pay a deposit for) he said he didn’t know what that other guy had been talking about, the toilet problem was very minor and the thing with the sink was totally wrong. And this from their own guys? Unless you have an emergency go anywhere else for your home repairs.

I own a 2 family home and was having issues with my heating system. After a great service appt due to the need for a new system I then scheduled a product and service appt… the tech specialist Pat showed up exactly at the scheduled time. He was very knowledgeable and informative with all the options I had.
Weltman’s offers coupon savings that definitely helped with the purchase. They definitely get my approval as a great company that I would continue to refer to friends and family.

Overall, I was very happy with the technician and the quality of his work. The pricing structure is flat-​rate, which means that they set a price that will cover pretty much any contingency. Interestingly enough, I saw both sides of this one a recent repair of two leaking steam valves. The price to try to tighten the union nuts was $ 300, crazy expensive by any standard. The price to replace the entire valve was $ 700, which seemed higher than market, but due to the complications of the job (rusted pipes, difficult to access) turned out not to be outlandish. They came out on the same day as called, and the technician was competent, determined and professional. For a scheduled repair I’d probably shop around a bit, but in an urgent situation, I’d call them again.

Called Weltman for a garbage disposal problem. They came next day had to replace my existing unit and do some re-​plumbing. Everything was great. Also used them them for a new HVAC system and in-​house generator. Couldn’t have been easier to work with. I highly recommend them.

Charlie came for annual service and couldn’t be nicer, very informative. I also like how neat and clean all of these welt man reps are. Very pleased.

The technician that came to my house, Charles was very knowledgable and thorough. He explained all of the systems to me and how each worked. He also made recommendations on how I could save energy and money on my heating bill. He was friendly and efficient. I signed up for Weltman’s maintenance plan.

I called Weltman on a Sunday afternoon in desperation. In my home for one month, the sewage has backed up 3 times. Two other plumbers snaked and said the problem was solved, Clearly it wasn’t and I was tired of, pun intended, flushing my money down the drain. Jayson came promptly Monday morning and very patiently ascertained the root problem. He spent time meticulously explaining everything and conscientiously cleaning up. I cannot accurately assess if their prices are too high as I have just been throwing money and temporary solutions for so long.

I have used Weltman for several years. Heating, AC, plumbing. All the techs I’ve dealt with are knowledgeable and thorough. They offer convenience, experience and are available 24\7. The one gripe I have is that their prices are on the high side (as others have stated). Coupons are a must. This holds me back from giving 5 stars.

I only had one experience with Weltman but it wasn’t a good one. They were responsive, professional, etc. but the person who looked at my heating system which had stopped working told me something that was just not true — that the turbine or something had seized up and could no longer move and the system would have to be replaced. Well the next day my dad came over and said it was not seized up and even got it working again temporarily. Will not be using them again
