Gregory Rossi Plumbing and Heating LLC

Greg was called to my home by HSA Home Warranty to repair our malfunctioning hot water heater. Since he was the second plumber in two days sent to my home by HSA, the first one not being qualified to even LOOK at my hot water heater, I asked him about the first plumber's diagnoses -- that my swimming pool, a "silently running toilet"(?), or a low operating temp (that had NEVER been changed) might be causing us to run out of hot water. A cantankerous Greg told me that none of those options even made sense. He seemed extremely annoyed to have to come to my house in bad weather. (Sorry our hot water heater didn't break at a more convenient time, Greg!) Tested both elements, wouldn't even let me finish about what had happened or what we had done about it, and pronounced it in working order if not for the low temp. (Even though he had said that didn't make sense -- still doesn't WHEN IT HASN'T CHANGED IN 6 YEARS!) When I told him that 6 years ago when it broke before, a tech pulled a corroded element out of it, said it was probably going to fail due to hard water in our home, and wished us well, I also asked if, since it's 11 years old now, it could be clogged with hard water sediment. Greg said it was possible and was walking up the stairs to leave when he said he'd ask HSA if he could replace it, but that he "didn't feel like waiting on hold anytime soon". He said someone would be in touch. I got tired of waiting for a functional hot water heater in winter, so I called HSA SIX hours later. Greg still hadn't given them his report and wouldn't answer his calls from them. A supervisor was able to get him on his emergency line and authorized the replacement pending Greg's report, that was to corroborate my story of the events -- he tested it, said it was a low temp but that it was old and it was possible it was filled with sediment causing us to run out of hot water prematurely. Greg just told him that I needed instruction in how to turn up the temp of the unit. Everybody has bad days and nobody likes to drive in bad weather, but Greg SCREWED us out of a working hot water heater because he was such a curmudgeon. I would NEVER hire this man even to take out my trash, let alone trust him with my family's safety. And I will NOT be a customer of HSA for long because they actually trust him! Meanwhile, we have an 11 year old, 80 gallon hot water heater that can't even provide enough warm water for a child's bath, and the best recommendation is to scald our children by turning up the temp. This man needs to learn to be a better HUMAN, not just a better plumber!
