We compared 20 plumbers in Albuquerque on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A water heater that quits on a cold morning or a sewer line backing up on a Sunday night doesn't leave much time for shopping around. Plumbers in Albuquerque with a deep bench tend to be the ones who answer, and even the least-reviewed name on this page holds 820 Google reviews, while TLC Plumbing Heating Cooling Electrical sits at 4.8 stars across 5,698. What separates them is less about who is good and more about who handles your kind of job.

Short answer: TLC Plumbing Heating Cooling Electrical has the highest rating on this page, 4.8 stars across 5,698 Google reviews. Albuquerque Plumbing, Heating & Cooling (4.6, 3,534 reviews) and First Rate Plumbing Heating and Cooling Inc (4.7, 1,065 reviews) follow. Reviewers quote prices job by job rather than as a flat rate, so ask each company for a written quote before work starts.

Our take: Two 4.7-rated names sit below it on rating, but its 3,534 reviews carry more weight, and the reviews for big jobs like repipes are glowing. Pick it when the project is large rather than a quick fix.

  • Scheduled a pipe break repair over a holiday weekend
  • One technician texted his name and arrival time ahead of the visit

Our take: A well-rated local shop with a smaller review base than the two names above it. Good for water heaters, water softeners and emergency leaks when you want a company that texts ahead.

Our take: A strong pick for an after-hours problem outside the city center, since its listed service area runs well into the surrounding towns. Ask about the after-hours charge when you call.

How the scorecard works

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other plumbers in Albuquerque. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from a thousand people carries more weight than a 4.9 from a dozen. Recency shows how lately people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What drives plumbing prices in Albuquerque

Albuquerque plumbers usually combine a service call with labor and parts, and the total moves with the kind of job, how hard the pipe is to reach, and the hour you call. Water heater swaps and repipes are the big-ticket jobs reviewers mention. We haven’t listed dollar ranges because we can’t source them to these companies, so ask for the call-out fee and an itemized quote before work begins.

Plumbers near you across the metro

All of these plumbers list addresses in ZIP code 87107, and TLC’s website describes coverage from Tramway to the South Valley, including the Heights and Nob Hill. Day & Night Plumbing also lists Rio Rancho, Placitas, Corrales, Bosque Farms, Los Lunas, Edgewood, Tijeras and Bernalillo. Searching for a plumber near me? Each listing shows a live phone number so you can reach the closest option fast.

Questions to ask before you book a plumber

  • Are you licensed and insured in New Mexico, and can I see the license number?
  • Is the call-out fee separate from labor, and does it come off the repair if I hire you?
  • Is the quote flat-rate or hourly, and will you put it in writing first?
  • Do after-hours or weekend calls cost more?
  • Who cleans up and restores the area if you have to dig or open a wall?
