We are family owned and operated. We service all brands, makes and models. From furnace and water heater repair and replacements, all the way to a leaking kitchen faucet or bathroom toilet. One call REALLY does it all. Faucets, toilets, sinks, drain rodding, water heaters, boilers, furnaces, air conditioners and humidifiers. New construction to radiant heat. You know you called the pros the first time. Licensed, bonded and insured, we offer easy approval and affordable financing as well!

"I’m extremely satisfied with Regional. We had three sump pumps that needed to be replaced (primary, secondary, and water powered backup). The quote was very reasonable, and they were able to do the work shortly after their initial visit. They replaced everything with Liberty pumps. Justin and Erich did the work and they were very professional. We had them quote out a couple of other items (replacing water heater, etc) and those quotes were also very reasonable. I will definitely hire them for future jobs."

"My experience with this company was not so great. We called them on a Thursday afternoon to come out and look at our furnace which was dripping water. I was thrilled when they said they could come out that same day. The tech arrived and diagnosed our issue very quickly, but the part had to be ordered so they would have to come back the next day to install it. The part was called a collector box and it basically is a large rectangular piece of plastic housing with a gasket that collects condensate. It was leaking from both bottom corners. He quoted us $800 to replace it. I thought that price was kind of steep, but whatever, sure go ahead and get our heat working. The part arrived the next day and the same tech from the previous day arrived shortly after to install. This is where things start to go downhill. After he gets it all buttoned up, he announces that the new collector box didn't come with an exterior gasket. He claimed he couldn't remove the old gasket from the old collector box because it was too deteriorated. The manufacturer doesn't sell the gasket separately, but he'd be willing to replace our perfectly functioning motor (which comes with a new gasket which is what we really needed) for the low low price of $1900 additional dollars. Better yet, he suggested we replace our whole furnace for somewhere in the neighborhood of $6000. He even offered us financing with a monthly payment plan! So an $800 repair has suddenly ballooned into $6000. Something didn't seem right so I did a quick Google search, found the schematic for our furnace, located the part number for the gasket and ordered it online. THE PART COST $6.00!! We advised the tech that we were not prepared to spend such a large sum of money and to please put the old collector box back on our furnace and leave. As it turns out, it was NOT the collector box that needed replacing. The box itself was in great condition. It was the INTERIOR gasket that had worn out and was leaking water. The EXTERIOR gasket that goes between the motor and the collector box did not even need replacing. However for 6 whole dollars plus shipping, we received both gaskets for our unit and our 8 year old furnace is working great now with no leaks. Also the motor that they quoted us $1900 to replace unnecessarily, only cost $125 on the same website brand new with the gasket. I understand there are labor costs involved with any repair, but Christ! And here's the kicker, it's been more than a week since this whole fiasco took place and they haven't refunded our money as of yet. Matter of fact, there was a new charge from them that appeared on our credit card statement today. May have to fight it through the credit card company, who knows. Our basement has constant video surveillance so this was all captured on video. Needless to say, we will not ever call this company again to repair anything and could not in good conscience recommend their service to anyone. Proceed at your own risk."

Walk in tub installations and replacements FAQs

Medicare doesn’t cover walk-in tubs because the agency doesn’t consider them durable medical equipment. However, if you can prove it is a medical necessity, you may get reimbursement after installation.

You’re likely to have more luck with Medicaid, but benefits vary by state. Check with your insurance carrier for details.

Depending on your home’s water pressure, a walk-in tub takes six to eight minutes to fill. A fast drain with an average-size water volume drains in two to three minutes, but slower drains and larger basins can take up to 15 minutes.

Remember that the individual must remain in the tub while it fills and drains to avoid spillage when the door opens.

The average tub holds roughly 50 gallons of water. Exact capacities vary by product, typically between 40 and 80 gallons. In comparison, a standard bathtub typically holds 25 to 45 gallons.

If the IRS sees the purchase as a qualified medical expense, walk-in tubs may be tax-deductible. Alternatively, caregivers who install a walk-in tub may qualify for the Dependent Care Tax Credit.
