Joshua Thomas arrived with an apprentice to fix boiler that was squeaking. Found that it was just a setting. Olson had just been out 1 month prior for annual cleaning. So, Joshua did not charge for this repair. Service: Heating system repair

I needed an outdoor plumbing repair which was not an emergency, but somewhat urgent since we were heading out of town the next morning. I have never needed a plumber and called Olson Plumbing & Heating at the suggestion of a neighbor and I typically see at least one of their trucks on the road every few days. They were able to schedule a same-day service call and a plumber was on the way within an hour.
Rich arrived and assessed the issue. He provided options without being pushy or trying to upsell parts or equipment. The repair was completed promptly, tested in front of me, and honestly was a much better installation than the original just two years prior. Rich was very professional and courteous throughout the service. I know that every service call may not go as smoothly as this one, but based on this experience, I would call Olson again for future needs.

I had a very positive experience with Olson Plumbing and Heating who I hired to troubleshoot my radiant heating system after 2 previous companies failed to deliver. Their technician was extremely knowledgeable and courteous, and went above and beyond to explain my system and the recommended repairs, as well as saving me $$$ on repairs which he felt were not necessary. Highly recommend

You couldn't ask for more polite, professional people to come into your home and turn a nightmare into happy home. Steve and Joe are just plain great. Check with this company for a first, second, or third quote. Couldn't be more pleased 8D

The guys that came to our house were sweet, respectful, clean, professional. The list goes on. They referred to my husband and I as "sir" or M'am", which was not at all expected, but noticed. Quentin was professional and clear in his run-down of the cost and services rendered. Will (and I realize this isn't a game changer for most, but it mattered to me) made friends with my traumatized, untrusting adopted dog when pup was acting aggressively.
He put time in to make friends with my boy, and that's not easy! Again, that's not a plumbing/heating expectation, but it meant a lot to this family! At the end of the job, a supervisor came and checked all work and reassured us about upcoming city inspections. We couldn't ask for more!

12/18/2021 Woke up in the early morning to find that the furnace had not turned on during the over-night hours. Inspected the thermostat, checked the thermostat batteries, inspected the circuit breaker, the thermostat switch, then checked the furnace to see if there was any flame. No Flame. Either the igniter has failed or severe winds blew out the pilot light. 8:55 a.m. Phone call to Olsen Plumbing & Heating. Receptionist stated that we were fourth (4th) in line and would be contacted by someone NOT LATER THAN 12:00 (noon) with an update from the technician. 12:00 NO CALL 2:44 p.m.
Wife contacted Olsen once again and was informed that THEY HAD NO RECORD of the 8:55 a.m. phone call. Apparently Olsen is engaging in CUSTOMER NO SERVICE. If we ignore them long enough they will go away? Very Disappointed.
