We would like to thank Cesar of Eco Plumbing for his awesome service, work & advice. Similarly, the Eco Electric crew of Connor, Brock, & Corey. All the gents were not only courteous but friendly; knowledgeable and willing to share that wisdom with the homeowners; efficient but careful. They gave us confidence that their technical work was the best for our needs. Also Nathan did the estimates and was so helpful answering questions, providing several options with costs. The whole Eco crew rates 5 stars many times over!

We called ECO to fix a water leak in the main line. They were the only company to offer not to have to move a large landscape boulder at the leak site. They offered to dig around and under it which saved us a lot of money. Sam was the main service agent to dig and repair the leak and was extremely professional, pleasant, hardworking and constantly kept us up-to-date on progress and answered all our questions. We will ask for him again if we ever have any future plumbing needs. Thank you Sam and Eco Electric and Plumbing!

🤩 Very helpful and friendly in-office customer service staff; kept me up-to-date via text. Price seemed reasonable based on time spent and problem-type. On-site electrician knowledgeable, seasoned, explained things clearly, patient with my questions about weird late-70s wiring issues. Will ask for James again, and also try them out for next plumbing project!!

I highly recommend Eco Electric to anyone that needs electrical work done in their house. Josh was our service tech and he went above and beyond what I expected. We had a bedroom circuit that was tripping our fuse box whenever something more powerful (vacuum, heater, etc) was plugged into any of the 5 outlets. Josh spent a full day trouble shooting the issue and cleaned up every outlet/switch in the room as well as 2 outlets and a switch in an adjoining room that was on the same circuit. He wasn’t able to fix the problem on the first day, but made sure to come back within the week to continue working on it at no extra charge. The problem ended up being more complicated than we thought (due to a previous electrician’s less than quality work during our house remodel), so we decided to get 4 of the 5 outlets usable with the heavy loads and leave the last one for a future date.Josh was super professional, polite, clean, and most of all, patient. He walked me through every step and explained his process so we could make clear decisions and stage a plan of action. We will be using Eco for all our electrical needs from here on out.

Very easy crew to work with. I’m doing a tenant improvement project in a commercial retail space and the team worked carefully not to disturb the customers or merchandise. They also had to coordinate with the business on a time that the equipment could be powered down and circuits could be switched. There were 5 guys working on different things moving along with the project.

Nate from Eco Electric & Plumbing came out for an initial appointment. He took a look at what we thought needed a hard wired (which isn’t ) and helped located the switch for the front porch light. He also helped change the light bulb. Great customer service! Thanks Nate!

Thanks so much to Sam for installing my new water heater today! He was fast, efficient, and wonderful to work with. The price was a little higher than I was hoping but Sam pulled through and got it to where I wanted it. He even tightened up a loose faucet that he noticed which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Eco Electric & Plumbing!

I have to have my house rewired.Nat was the person that came and did the estimate for the work. He was very polite and courteous.

The estimate that he gave me was competitve with other companies.

Eco Electric & Plumbing was responsive and easy to work with. Replacing outdoor faucet - project was quoted along with options should we want to make improvements to our system (which we did) - all explained clearly. Levi's work was excellent and project was completed that same day. Highly recommend.

Great experience and wonderful work. Clear communication was given from estimate to installation and they followed through. I had EcoPlumbing install a dual sink vanity from a single sink vanity. Very professional, made sure to do it correctly, and everything is working perfectly. They had to come out twice and was able yo get it all installed before some family comes to town. I highly recommend EcoPlumbing.

The short of the long... my stove would trip a breaker panel every time I used the bake function. Through my own research, I had a good idea what was needed for the fix: replace the breaker.I have used bigger electrician companies in the past and was never really satisfied with the work based on how much I spent. Hence, I tried a more local company, Eco Electric.I was very pleased with my experience working with them. Josh, the electrician was great! Easy to talk with and down to earth. He came out and did a full inspection and in this activity, he uncovered a different issue in a couple of other breakers. Arcing, Google it.As a result, I needed a full breaker panel replacement. The work done was clean, professional, and within the time of completion that was stated to me at the start. As a bonus for me, I didn't feel like I was robbed in terms of the cost. I'll be back for my future projects.I highly recommend this team for your electrical needs.

The work was professionally done. People were great to deal with. The scheduler/receptionist was good to work with. The plumber (Sam) was personable, professional, and an excellent communicator. He identified other plumbing issues I was not aware of that needed attention. There was no pressure to do the additional work, but I was provided clear explanations for why they were or would become problems. With that came pricing options for what work I wanted to be done and for what length of time I wanted the work guaranteed (up to 10 years). They are not the cheapest plumbing company you will find, I was very pleased with Sam and the work that he did. I will call Eco next time I have a plumbing need.

We thought we were calling Eco for some fairly routine maintenance, but our plumber Sam did a thorough assessment and found a problem that needed addressing immediately for health and safety reasons! He explained everything clearly, provided us with a range of options for prioritizing our needs, and was able to get started the same day. He was friendly and efficient throughout and did excellent work.

Our experience with the plumbing crew from Eco, who re-piped our house, was 5-star all the way. The crew was extremely professional, competent, knowledgeable, friendly, and PATIENT with us. Re-piping a house is a big job, but the crew went out of their way to make it as easy as possible on us -- they communicated everything they were doing, kept all the job sites tidy, and just did a great job from start to finish. We can't thank our crew of Matt, Clint, and Cesar enough, and wouldn't hesitate to contact or recommend Eco for any future plumbing or electrical needs.
