Evan Z. says, "For some time now my HVAC system has been making a pronounced rattling noise during it's heating cycle which was steadily getting worse. I engaged an independent contractor a year ago to fix the issue. The contractor did not fix the issue and charged me an exorbitant sum for the service call. Well, I made the wise choice of choosing JN Service HVAC/Plumbing to help me this time. A very impressive young service tech named Mario Junior arrived on time today and solved my issue. With total professionalism and utter tenacity Mr. Junior traced the source of the noise, diagnosed the problem and was able to resolve it in a timely and efficient manner. I am totally satisfied at the time and care Mr. Junior took in diagnosing and addressing the issue. After he was finished he made completely sure I understood what he had done and what the source of the problem had been. He was very kind and patient and immediately addressed any questions or concerns I might have had. He also gave me a great deal on the service and was excited to establish an ongoing business relationship with me. I am highly impressed with Mr. Junior and JN, they are complete professionals and care deeply about providing value and quality service. This issue has been a source of immense ongoing anxiety for me and Mr. Junior being able to help me with it felt like a miracle. He is a credit to JN and the quality and craftsmanship of his work is second to none. I cannot recommend Mr. Junior and JN more highly and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for helping me today."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much do plumbers charge per hour?

Depending on the service you need (unclogging a drain, fixing a pipe, installing new pipes, etc.), plumbers charge anywhere from $45-$165 per hour. Plumbers often operate on a fixed rate model, too. Some won’t charge hourly rates because the variables involved in their work makes it less practical to do so. 

Plumbers will scope out the work, calculate the cost of parts, and roll it together with other fees to give you an estimate for the job. They may even offer standard flat rates for things like installing a toilet or a sink. Reach out to plumbers near you to get an accurate cost estimate for your project or repair.

What are plumbers and what do they do?

Plumbers are skilled professionals who are trained to install and maintain pipes and systems for drinking water, sewage and drainage. They usually have trained through four- to five-year training programs, which include apprenticeships, via trade schools and community colleges. Plumbers’ areas of expertise typically go beyond pipes to include mathematics, blueprint reading, plumbing codes and water distribution. They handle plumbing emergencies, such as broken pipes or clogged drains, and install and maintain everything from a new piping system to a replacement faucet. Plumbers also know how to install bathtubs and showers, toilets, water heaters and dishwashers. Plumbers may work on residential or commercial sites, sometimes designing and laying out a pipe system during construction.

How do you find a good plumber?

Whether you need a plumber to perform drain repair, install a new fixture, or replace rusty pipes, you need to make sure you hire someone reliable who will finish your job on time and within budget. Start by asking the plumbers on your short list these questions:

  • What is the total cost? Make sure your estimate includes materials and labor. Find out whether the plumber will be providing the materials and whether you’re being charged an hourly rate (which is variable) or a flat fee.
  • Is removal and cleanup included in the job? Some plumbers leave behind old parts, while others include the cleanup in the cost.
  • Is the work guaranteed? Find out whether the work (as well as the parts or fixtures) are guaranteed under a warranty.
