Kaden and the team got a new system installed and running on very short notice! Thankful to have heat again after a few chilly nights thanks to them!
Tom was professional, thorough, super helpful not only with the repair but clarifying a maintenance service I asked about. I’m so grateful for Tom taking care of us.
Cory was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. We have had other techs look at our heating system, all of who were beyond confused. He wasn’t confused and knew exactly what was needed to be corrected with out hesitation. I highly recommend them and Cory to service your heat and ac system. The picture attached is of the new boiler install, in progress. The repair is complete now.
Contacted us that they were going to be late.Explained everything to me and then when my husband got home re-explained everything again.
I appreciate so much that I was called by them to set up a furnace inspection. I may have let it go, but was so grateful they called. From the phone call to the service call, everything was a great experience. The technician was kind and explained everything so well. I would definitely use them again.
Knowing the needs of the customer.easy to work with and did a great job for us.Thanks again
Very pleased with the communication between the office and technicians. Corey, repaired our heat pump and was great to work with.
Cory provided exceptional service. Answered all my questions (I had a lot) and gave great pointers on what to look out for and/or improve on furnace efficiency.Fuechee
Cory came out when our 25 y/o heater took a crap in the middle of winter. Talked to my Home Warrenty and helped get them to approve a new system. Showed me my options. I choose the best system for me. Came out the next day got my house squared away. Thank you again Cory.
Very happy with the work! My furnace died when it was subzero out, and Kaden and team stayed late to make sure the new one was installed and working. Excellent service all around!
Cory was AMAZING! He gave us some bad news about our furnace but his customer service skills were out of this world in my opinion. He was prompt and on time. Very informative of what was going on and took the time to explain things in a way we could understand. They will be installing a new furnace tomorrow and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend using their services.
I liked the text notice that Tom was on the way. He came in, and after a brief inspection and discussion let me know what he thought the issue was with the water heater, showed me what he was going to do, then showed me what he did, and now the water heater is working. Nice job!
I just Love Oakley, great customer service and so fun to talk toHe knows his craft well and is absolutely so like ableGive that Man a raise!
Matt did an outstanding job. He explained what was happening. It was very personable, friendly and professional. I would recommend him to anybody.
Update!I believe you get a true measure of customer service from a company when things don’t go according to plan. How does that company move towards the solution? Within an hour of my previous post, I had two technicians at my house. Very accountable and apologetic for my previous experience. I truly appreciate their diligence in making this right. Don’t go anywhere else for your heating and cooling needs these guys really care. Thanks again fellas.
Oakley replaced the head on my iron filter.He was clean and neat and did an excellent job.
I have known Tom Olson for many years. He has done outstanding work for us on two homes, performing everything from service work to repairs to designing and installing new systems. He is always courteous, professional, friendly and error free. We rely on him and he never disappoints. He has my highest recommendation!
Great experience - really nice guy - explained/showed me what was wrong , tested my water, reset clock. Thanks
Our water heater was acting up. Sometimes overly hot water. Sometimes the water was too cool. Trevor ran tests and determined we could replace a part or put in a new water heater. We decided to go with a new one. He did it today. Our Christmas celebration is in two days. Now we can safely host our family.
I highly recommend this company! My new home came with a 38 year old HVAC system. We were able to replace the entire system with an energy efficient system which included an electrostatic air filtration unit. Love my beautiful Trane system. The technicians were great in communicating with me throughout the project, to ensure the installation was successful. Thank you!!
Tom and his apprentice made quick work installing two new toilets. Thanks Tom!
They were great and very polite and cleaned everything up and they even caught a snake for me so that made my day. No, they were great technicians.
I sensed an inconsistent unpleasant odor. Jaymeson, One Hour, did what another company was unable to do. He diagnosed, solved, and fixed the gas leaks. He showed me the cause of the fumes was emitting from a pipe that is no longer excepted in "code" Materials he used are much better the cheap-looking pipes the other company had on the furnace. I am impressed with Jaymeson's knowledge and expertise and he is a very polite gentleman. I switched companies. I can trust on One Hour and Ben Franklin. Dustin also found a leak in the water heater. Yay!
Kaden was Very professional, on time, and a knowledgeable technician. I Highly recommend this company.
Haze and Kaden did a great job, very efficient, kind and respectful. Would use this company again.
Haze was here for AC maintenance. He was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and very personable! We’ve had a great experience with One Hour for many years. Highly recommended!
Haze was very professional and knowledgeable. He did a very excellent work and I am very satisfied with the work he did
HVAC maintenance. Haze was an incredible young driven man. Not only was very frendily and very helpful and respectful. He did all the maintenance that I asked for and he gave me some great tips and told me what I could use in the up coming years. 10/10

Andrew did an amazing job. He went above and beyond in his job and was informative with issue!
We really enjoyed the tech working on our project. His name was Andrew. Very informative very thorough very professional. Five stars all the way.
Andrew stayed late and worked hard. Very nice and good communication.Update: I still think he was very nice but after my dad saw how he left the plumbing he was not happy. We paid $500 for them to basically destroy our plumbing. I’m attaching a pic on how they left it and I called because I had no water. Water was frozen and they used a heat gun but couldn’t get it back to working. So they charged me $500. That’s a bit ridiculous. At the time I was paying I wasn’t sure since I don’t know about plumbing but talking with my dad is when I realized they weren’t fair. And stayed late was he worked 3 hrs. Till 6 pm ish. Nothing against the plumber maybe he wasn’t trained right. Idk but y’all be careful with them. Would do 1 star but he was nice so 2 stars.
Andrew, in plumbing, was friendly, competent and exhibited a great depth of skill and knowledge in his field. He performed needed maintenance on my Iron Filter, Water Softener, the kitchen sink "P" trap that needed cleaning, as well as replacing a poorly performing bathtub faucet that had a sloppy-fitting water diverter to the shower head.We also reviewed several safety features I had installed in 2022 after a major "water event".... to make sure they were still ready and operating namely: a primary sump pump back-up power system called the "Pump Spy" and a "Water Cop" water shut-off system. All safety features were still in top working condition.I am very appreciative of Andrew's professionalism in accomplishing this work today on 1-24-2025.I can recommend this positive experience to others as well!Thank you,Mairi
Oakley and Nick were excellent and obviously professionals that knew what they were doing. Definitely our “go to” guys in the future!
Showed up on short notice, found the problem, got the parts needed in a timely fashion, then got the job done! Great service, thanks.
We had a service done by Oakley and he was so great! He explained the service he was doing in detail and explained how the system worked. After today’s service I would highly recommend Benjamin Franklin!
Oakley was a dream! He’s SUPER knowledgeable, excellent in his work ability, and a delight to have in my home! Thank you, Oakly, and well done! See you next time!
Tom was very knowledgeable and professional. Truly cared about our repair needs.
Andrew and Matt came to service my clogged drainage in the main line. Got my drainage running and happy with the service. Highly recommend Andrew, Matt, and Benjamin Plumbing for any type of service. They both were friendly and knew what they were doing.
Oakly was very helpful and took the time to explain everything and made sure we understood everything before he left. I highly recommend that if you ever find yourself in need of plumbing work done, these are the people to call.
I’ve had three plumbing problems this year and each time Oakly has repaired the situation quickly and efficiently, and with good cheer, always taking time to explain what is required and giving me an estimate before beginning the work. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Professional operation. I expressed my delight to Trevor in seeing a young person serious about their job. Lilly kept me updated on the schedule and kept the wheel rolling. Pleasant experience in spite of the issue.
Technician was timely and very professional. He worked efficiently and was pleasant to deal with
Tony was my technician. I had a leaking water softener. I just wanted to stop the leak.Tony provided a temporary bypass fix.Also providedan estimate for a new bypass valve. Also an estimate for a water softener in the future. No charge for the trip or the fix ! That's all I neededright now. I couldn't believe it !Really appreciate Tony's knowledge and help.
Matt Beckman is an outstanding employee friendly and courteous Would highly recommend if you ever have the option to pick your plumber
A job well done by Tom Olsen! Would highly recommend for any future repair or service needs.
Dustin was polite and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and was able to do some work the same day. I needed my tub drain pipe fixed and he got it done. Very happy with his work
Dusty was great! Honest and straightforward. Job was done efficiently and effectively
I had great experience Trevor. He was friendly,approachable, knowledgeable and have wonderful suggestions to solve the my plumbing issue. Very respectful and answering questions politely and making sure I understood. Awesome guy!
We used Ben Franklin for a clogged drain. We had never used them before and the ease of booking an appointment online for the same day was fantastic. Two very polite and friendly young men came and did a great job. The task turned out to be a much bigger challenge than expected and they kept us informed as to what they were doing and why it was taking some extra time. We really appreciated this and we felt the bill was very fair.
From the minute Tom showed up at our home he was professional and showed our home and family respect. Tom was completely transparent through the diagnosis process, and explained to me the plan of attack. With his decades of experience he was able to fix the issue, and you could see the pride he takes in his job.I will never use another plumbing company, and I don't say this lightly. Tom made us feel like family and we are so appreciative.Thanks again Tom and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.Sincerely your new forever customer.
Trevor was great. He was prompt on the initial service call and gave me a good explanation of the quote and what was needed to fix the plumbing issues. In addition himself and his company worked with myself and my home warranty company that were being a pain. Even though Benjamin Franklin usually doesn't fill these types of forms out for customers but they did and I greatly appreciate Trevor and the whole team as well as Kate for their patience with my emails and request of information. Truly great service.
Ben Franklin’s,Matt, did a terrific job making our old bathroom new. He could do the plumbing and tiling and solved all of our issues. I liked all the ideas he had. 5 star job.
