We have used Volkman plumbing and heating for many years primarily for sewer issues! Recently we needed a sump pump replaced and just got a new high efficiency ac and furnace! As always we were very pleased! Everyone is efficient, professional, responsive in a timely manner, courteous, and tidy! Thank you Volkman for the way you conduct your business!

Had them Install a new heater in winter so the service man said to have them come back when the ac was running and he would check it because he had to cut the line to install the new furnace. Well called and they came and guess what they charged us for a filter and a service call. All i asked for was to check the unit.
Been using them for 20 plus years. Guess we will be going with someone else from now on and wont be recomending them at all anymore.. We did wait a year to have it checked because last year had alot going on but i didnt know there was a time limit to check stuff.

I appreciate the service we received at my business, Magnolias, where we had a sewer emergency! Carl and Todd worked for several hours to fix the problem. It was a huge challenge but they were able to resolve it and get us up and running again! I appreciate their professional service!

Affordable, reliable service. Didnt have much notice and they got the job done right the first time! Will definitely be a life customer if the service was like that.

Fast, efficient, upfront. Beat their arrival and cost estimate twice. Each (separate) issue was fixed right, the first time, for cheaper than anywhere else in town. Friendly, competent techs as well. Also added plumbing and fixed a whole home humidifier (not part of estimate) for the exact estimated price. Not one penny more.
