I contacted them to have a licensed plumber check the gas connections for my water heater and HVAC, just to confirm there were no leaks. I didn’t suspect a leak, but wanted professional verification.\n\nWhen scheduling the appointment, I clearly explained my request. However, they refused to provide a quote for the gas leak check. Instead, they said there would be a minimum $99 fee, and that the actual cost couldn’t be determined until the technician assessed the situation onsite. OK, fine.\n\nWhen the plumber arrived, I again explained that I was looking for a simple gas leak check and verification. After a quick 10-minute look at the appliances, he told me the only test he can offer is a pressure test — priced at $1,000. I was shocked. There are many standard, less expensive methods for detecting gas leaks (e.g., visual inspection, soapy water test, electronic gas detectors, gas sniffers), yet they only offered the most expensive option.\n\nI asked how long the pressure test would take and was told less than an hour. So essentially, I paid $99 just to get a quote for a $1,000 test that involves no repairs — just using their tools and a plumber's time for an hour. That’s effectively $1,000/hour.\n\nLater, I contacted another plumbing company. Their pricing was less than half of Benjamin Franklin’s, and their service included more comprehensive checks and other items.\n\nGiven this horrible experience, I will not be using Benjamin Franklin Plumbing again.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n[Comment after reading “Response from the owner”]\n\nThe owner’s response only reinforces my original impression — that this company prioritizes making money over addressing customer needs. They seem to exaggerate every situation to justify selling more expensive services.\n\nIn my case, I simply wanted a basic gas leak check and verification, with no known issues or suspected leaks. Yet, they offered only one option — a $1,000 pressure test — while dismissing other standard and legitimate methods used across the industry. Their reasoning was, “$1000 would be a small price to pay if it prevented a fire or worse yet the loss of someone’s life.”\n\nIf that logic applies to everything, then perhaps they should set a $1,000 minimum for all services. For example, if a customer only needs to install a gas shutoff valve, they could insist on a $1,000 pressure test, because, “$1000 would be a small price to pay if it prevented a fire or worse yet the loss of someone’s life.\" Or if someone wants to install a water shutoff valve, they might recommend a $1,000 water pressure test — since, by their reasoning, “it could prevent water damage that costs tens of thousands to repair.”\n\nThis kind of approach doesn’t demonstrate care for customer safety — it shows a business model focused on upselling and inflating costs under the guise of safety.",{"text":535,"languageCode":491},{"displayName":538,"uri":539,"photoUri":540},"W Z","https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108145544138470205802/reviews","https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWKZ-ZxWQWaN7dkBbDuhQxYmZMi81wey_lCPyoVQohDKXZ-Y6Y-=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo","6 months ago","2025-10-06T06:29:06.861538100Z",1309]
