Mike explained different options and helped me choose the one that was best for me. He did great but the final bill was a lot more than I expected. I had a new sump pump installed..it was almost $1200. Not even sure if they tested my existing pump to know if it actually needed replacement. The new one sounds exactly like the one I had when I plug it in.

Hi, Farrel Brothers were great to work with. And their technician Tim did a great job! He was professional, polite, and knowledgeable. He found and repaired the problem for me quickly and I so appreciated his time and work. Thank you, Tim, and thank you, Farrel Bros! I will definitely recommend your services.

I just want to say that Tim Anderson of Farrell Brothers, plumbing and heating is the guy you want to checkout your geothermal system. He is very knowledgeable about these systems and doesn’t miss a thing. He will give you choices on what could be done and options on what you want to have done. I will gladly give his name and company to anyone with a geothermal system, and for that matter any system they have. I just want to say thank you and looking forward to working with you in the future.

James did a great job diagnosing and fixing the major issue we were having with our boiler which also has a direct fire water heater attached. I was out of town the whole time and he was kind, informative and respectful to my family. He coordinated with Randy and we are completely satisfied as we have been every time over the past 21 years since that first day I met Randy in May of 2004. I highly recommend.

Delighted to work with Mike (the plumber) and this company. They were responsive and prompt as an organization and Mike has all the qualities that you need in this line of work. He was communicative, experienced and focused to make sure that he resolved the problem before heading to his next job. Awesome! No need to go anywhere else.

Overall I'm happy with the quality of work their plumber did however $1200 excluding tax to replace a water heater (still under manufacturer warranty) that they installed 4 years ago is a bit crazy. I'm trying to break down the cost of labor and removal of the old tank in my head and it just doesn't add up. They need to be more transparent in what they are billing their customers or it will leave the customer guessing if they went with someone else would they have gotten a better deal.

June 2024 Review: Tim A. was todays tech, hes been to our house several times and I cant say enough about how great he is. Easy to talk to, explains everything thats going on and after he leaves you 100% feel like you are good to go until your furnace maintenance in the Fall. Farrell/Benjamin Franklin is the way to go, stop thinking about it and just call them, they will take care of you and then you can leave your own 5 star review! Thank you! First of all if you are having an AC or Furnace issue CALL FARRELL RIGHT NOW and then come back to this review! Dan and Paul just did the replacement install of our Goodman condenser and coil. 5 stars! Our system started to fail a few days ago and we were staring at 90 degree weather in a few days. They stopped by on a Saturday (of course everything fails on the weekend), found the problem, did a temp fix so we still had AC and helped us make it when the news units were ready to go which was immediately scheduled. They were awesome, very courteous and neat, a very professional service. They take the time to make sure the job is done right and youre happy. Their yearly fall (furnace) and spring (AC) maintenance service is 1) very economical and a bargain compared to anyone else locally and 2) you will have total piece of mind, its like having a friend working there, which you will after the first visit. I turned to Farrell a few years ago after almost 12 years with another company who I felt ripped me off and DID overcharge on everything. Thank you, Randy (who was my main contact) is always terrific! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS CALL FARRELL you will glad you did!

James did a great job under bad circumstances. After installing a new AC unit, it failed during one of the final tests. It turned out the condenser had a bad valve (manufacturer defect). By this time it was a Friday afternoon but he was able to get a replacement from the warehouse. After another glitch (thermostat ), he finally got everything working by 8pm. Jims perseverance is really appreciated. He is hard working and did not give up.

Mike Cazzato met all our expectations for diagnosing our plumbing problem. He communicated relevant issues clearly and completely, as well as nexts steps. Ben Franklin successfully replaced 75 year old leaking 4 inch drain pipe from the second floor to the basement. They met or exceeded all our expectations for all aspects of a very difficult repair in our old house. We highly recommend the company as well as Mike Cazzato and his coworker John (last name unknown). Bill D. Loudonville, NY

I called because I had a sinkhole next to my foundation that was letting water and sand through into the basement and clogging my drain system. Front desk was great and very friendly. However the technician completed ignored the main issue and told me I will need to dig out my basement floor and replace the French drain. I brought another company who identified the issue which was related to the sinkhole right away and recommended a solution. I am sure this company does provide great service, but for me it was a waste of $79.

Mike D. was absolutely amazing! Dispatch had gotten my phone number incorrect when I put the service call in, but Mike went above and beyond to ensure that I was successfully contacted & received outstanding service. He was already at my house, but was flexible to wait for me due to the phone error not being my fault. Mike D. was honest, professional, and thorough when in my home. He checked all pipes and connections. He stayed with me until I got into active contact with a septic company, as my plumbing wasnt my true problem and my septic was in an emergency state. He augured my pipes to set me up for sure success after the septic company pumped. If I have any plumbing issues, I would absolutely call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and specifically ask for Mike D., as he is professional, personal, patient, understanding, and kind!

I have owned this property for almost 2 years. I ve tried desperately to get a company to come out and replace the stairs. Then I came across Benjamin Franklin plumbing of Albany. And my goodness. They did an amazing job. And the service is really why I am a fan because they were quick and efficient. I called them to do plumbing work. And I brought up the stairs and within 2 weeks new stairs. Can t beat that kind of service. And no matter what you think of the picture below, the stairs are stable and amazing. I ll paint the stairs and it ll look amazing. Update: they are doing FANTASTIC WORK ON THE BATHROOMS AS WE SPEAK. Super happy!
