Howe has been awesome to work with on multiple repairs over the past year. Michael arrived to my home to fix a gas leak faster than expected. He had great communication and called a team member to get another part to repair/replace additional valves as well. He went above and beyond to fix it all at the same time. Would highly recommend using Howe! Thank you!

I have now used this company for 3 separate necessary checks and maintenance needs on my home. Not only are they responsive and make sure the work is done to completion but they are professional and friendly. There was a little bit of a mix up with communication for a quote but they were quick to get it handled so that the work I needed could be done. Micah did the most recent work with my plumbing needs and did a phenomonal job keeping me in the loop on what he was finding and searching for solutions to ensure the work got done effectively with very little alterations done to my finished basement. Given the age of my home it was a bit of a puzzle but he worked hard to find the easiest and most efficient way to complete the job. Howe is my absolute go to company.

First time Howe was ever involved in fixing our heating system issue, and if you don't choose them above all others, your making a big mistake. It's taken over 1 year total time, approx 4 or 5 different service techs and/or companies, and here comes Dawson from Howe, Inc to finally save the day. I made my frustrations apparent before he even began working on the issue at hand.

All other techs kept coming to the same conclusion and it obviously never worked out. He calmed me down & told me after all is done he will walk me through it step by step. He did exactly what he said and more. He ordered new parts never suggested before, showed me how they all interact to cause the ongoing issue and even took time to point out, in detail and proof, how the previous "professionals" left their jobs substandard (my own words) and possibly posing a risk to my family.

If Dawson does not get the recognition that he deserves, it'll be a sad day. Howe is lucky to have a dedicated employee with the set of skills such as his. You sir are the reason I will never deal with another company if Howe can take care of me! Lifelong customer achieved in one blow. Hats off to A Job Well Done!

Mike did an excellent job fixing a broken supply line to our toilet. He was friendly, professional, and got the job done quickly. I was also impressed that I was able to get the issue taken care of the same day I called without having to resort to calling an emergency plumber. Would recommend. Service: Plumbing pipe repair

Right from the start when I called for service they were kind and very responsive. My water heater wasn't working so they sent out a serviceman within a couple hours. Seth (the serviceman) was kind, professional and provided excellent service. He was a true blessing. He promptly and professionally replaced our water heater the same day! I highly recommend Howe Plumbing for any of your plumbing needs. 5 !

I want to say how exceptional Micah in Plumbing department is. When ever we need anything done with our business, he is very fast, efficient and knowledgeable with his job! He has explained everything to me so I understand completely why issues occur or even how I van fix them I wish there was more people like Micah out there when I am in need of different thing fixing in any of our buildings.

I've used Howe a few times and have always been pleased with their communication, timeliness and work. Michael B. came out to look at our hot water heater, and then installed a new one. He was straightforward, pleasant, reviewed everything with me before and after installation and left the home looking just as it had before he arrived.

I got home from a week out of town to a cold house. I called Howe on New Year's eve morning and my furnace was running by noon - even though the tech had to run and get a part. I was happy about the holiday response time and my repair person was super helpful and did everything he could to make sure we didn't spend the weekend without heat. I bought my furnace from Howe and have been so happy with their services ever since.

Very helpful! Was able to fit me a whole day before I was scheduled to. They came to fix my garbage disposal and when they came they saw an error done by a different plumber we had work on the sink and fixed it no problem! In and out in less than 30 minutes! We will for sure use Howe Plumbing again! Services: Garbage disposal repair, Plumbing leak detection

DO NOT recommend these guys. Guy showed up and was here for couple of hours when it should have only taken an hour - moved really slow and could tell he was trying to drag it out. They also over charge as originally they wanted to charge me for more than double the hours and after arguing with them they reduced it but still wouldn't agree with the correct hours of work. Said they use GPS to record time but if guy is near or sits outside of house for a while before or after job, charges are applied thus overcharging people for non-work time.

I would NOT recommend these guys. Was quoted over the phone itd be $4-500. To change a tube heater from propane to gas. Sent guy out. Didnt do it right. Had to send another guy out. Still have to get re fixed. Then tried to charge me a bill for $1250. Everyone else in town was $350-500 and they included a part that Howe didnt replace the first time.

Now my tube needs to be taken down n clean all the soot off it and the shop. I called then and they dropped the bill to $950. Still almost double there quote. UNLESS U PLAN TO PAY TRIPLE TO DOUBLE BEWARE. thats my review. Thanks.

After years of keeping fingers crossed and hoping to be able to "get through one more summer", my wife and I finally had to replace our air conditioning and furnace. This was not a small expense for us. After talking to three companies in the Sioux Falls area, we decided to go with Howe, Inc. While they weren't the cheapest they were certainly competitive, offered the quality brands we were considering, and represented the best value for the money.

They were professional at every turn: they responded to our request for an estimate promptly and courteously; they gave us several options to fit our budget; their proposal was clear and understandable and contained no 'hidden charges.' Because we had to leave for a vacation, we asked them to come a day earlier than originally scheduled.

The installers showed up on time, conducted themselves in a polite and professional manner, worked all day and made sure all the debris was completely removed and the area clean. One of the technicians even stayed on for an hour past 'quitting time' to make sure that the air conditioning unit was operating to specs. They even provided us with the forms and paperwork--completely filled out--for us to qualify for a rebate from Xcel Energy. We would definitely recommend Howe Heating & Plumbing to anyone considering repair or replacement of heating and air conditioning.

Truly terrible business experience. I had a problem with my electric heat pump in June when air conditioning was needed. Howe's tested the unit and said the coil needed to be replaced. Parts were covered under warranty and would be in at end of the same week. The following week I had heard nothing so called Howe's. They finally came at the end of that week (10 days after initial evaluation). Howe's then tried to repair the unit for 11 hours without success.

Finally decided that entire unit must be replaced (parts still covered by warranty). After another call to office workers came to install new unit 2 weeks later. Workers intalled unit, but needed another part and finished job 2 days later. Unit in house drained condensation water on floor due to improper installation. Called Howe's again and worker came out next day to repair.

Job finally done 6 weeks after initiating. I was then charged nearly $3000 for labor. I attempted to dicuss this with the office many times as I felt the charge was unfair given their poor performance. I called the office a dozen times. My calls were only returned twice. No resolution was reached and I was forced to pay the full amount. Both Howe's work and customer service was extremely poor.
