Cassell Brothers has by far the largest review base here, nearly 7,000 reviews at a 4.9 average, with named techs like Pablo Bonilla, Jeffrey Pridgeon, and David Williams drawing consistent praise for honest, transparent diagnosis.

• Same-day or next-day emergency response
• Sends photo updates during remote or in-progress work
• Coordinates with restoration and electrical contractors on complex jobs
• Large, consistent base of positive named-technician feedback

Watch out: A serious complaint describes pressure toward costly replacements followed by conflicting statements to a warranty provider.

• 24-hour emergency availability

★★★★★5 (16 reviews)score 81/100

Local Plumber and Hvac holds a perfect 5.0 rating, though from just 12 reviews, so treat the confidence as moderate. Every review mentions fair pricing and technicians who skip unnecessary upsells, covering plumbing, HVAC, water heaters, and gas lines.

• Checks warranty coverage before charging for repairs
• Fast response, often same-day or next-day
• Handles plumbing, HVAC, water heater, and gas line work
• Technicians explain the job rather than push extra work

Watch out: Review volume is low, so the track record is thinner than the top names on this list.

★★★★☆3.9 (73 reviews)score 61/100

Apple Services still draws praise from long-term customers for quick emergency response and fair upfront pricing, but recent reviews describe abandoned jobs, price hikes, and refused refunds. The 3.9 rating over 73 reviews and mixed sentiment reflect a company that reviewers say has changed since a 2021 ownership transfer.

• Responsive for emergencies
• Technicians praised for knowledge
• Friendly staff
• Flexible payment arrangements available

Watch out: Multiple recent complaints cite unfinished work, no-shows, refund disputes, and questions about active licensing.
