O'Brien Plumbing & HVAC Bendigo
Chris arrived within 20 minutes for a Saturday night hot water emergency and got it working.
The consistent praise is for emergency plumbing and hot water, with two reviewers describing same-day replacement or repair. Chris, Marty, and Sam all get named for clear explanations and respectful, tidy work. The recent reviews are mixed though; one homeowner chased an air conditioning quote and never got it. That's a real flag if your job is a big split system install rather than an urgent repair. Ask who will be on site and get a firm quote before booking anything non-urgent.
