They installed our furnace and air, and we used the plumbing service when the gas company found a small leak. Same day service.<br>Jeremy is our Heating and air technician, and he also services our on demand Water Heater. Great guy and excellent at his job!! Love this Company!

We called McHenry Plumbing on Friday to get an estimate to repair the hot water heater issue and discussed the situation with them. Based on the quote we received and age of the unit we decided to replace it. They scheduled us on Monday. The two plumbers arrived when scheduled and were professional and pleasant and were finished in about 2.5-3 hours. I would recommend this company and will use them in the future if we need their services.
Excellent service! Our sump pump went out and we had water in the basement, McHenry Plumbing (Heating & Air) sent Butch over asap. I can't say enough about Butch, he was excellent! He took the time to explain everything to me, such a nice guy, very professional and great to work with! Thanks so much!
