I built a new home in 2008, and since then my AC unit has taken multiple electricity hits (we have bad power in 29 Palms). In August 2012, we lost the condenser, and I filed a claim with my home warranty company, they sent out someone who claimed there was water damage to the unit (even though we live in a new home and there was no sign of water anywhere around), the home warranty company dis-allowed the claim. Gene and Randee jumped in, sent for the warrantied part, and had us up and running again in a matter of days. They also provided proof that there was no water damage to the unit, and I was able to get a partial reimbursement from my home warranty company. For that, I thank them. Last year, I decided to purchase a Bonaire-Durango swamp cooler, and Nelson's installed it, running water lines and securing it in the window. This was a recommendation by Gene Nelson, and it cut my electricity bill by $200.00 over the summer months. It meant I could shut-down the AC unit, and run the swamp cooler during the 115 degree heat. I would, and do recommend them to friends.

The work was scheduled to start on Monday 4/4/2011. The installation took place as scheduled. The workers did not have the paperwork with them for the $500 Federal Income Tax credit nor the $220 PG&E (our utility company) rebate as promised. The intake vent cover in the upstairs hallway was not replaced as promised. The exhaust vent in the garage was placed in such a way that it blocks some of my pre-existing shelving. Additionally, I feel that the distance that it is suspended from the ceiling is excessive and therefore could easily be hit while moving a ladder, etc. 4/8/2011 The system failed the City of Vacaville's building inspection. 4/9/2011 My husband faxed the list of corrections to CA Mechanical. Over the course of the next few weeks my husband called CA Mechanical numerous times with no response. 5/2/2011 The two installers who had performed the initial work finally returned to fix the problems on the city Inspector's list. They informed my husband a pressure test would be scheduled. My husband asked them how to operate the manual damper to adjust air flow to our upstairs and was informed that one had NOT been installed as promised. Though Mr. Barker swore on more than one occasion afterwards that it had been. Nothing more happened over the next two weeks in spite of the fact that my husband called Mr. Barker several times and left numerous messages with his office worker Cory. 5/16/2011 My husband called The Home Depot store directly and was referred to Cynthia Gary who is their HVAC Customer Care Rep out of Georgia. She called Mr. Barker and got an appointment to have the system pressure tested on Friday, May 20th. The system failed the pressure test. Corrective work was performed by North Bay Air Systems. The system passed the second pressure test on 5/24/2011. The entire process became too over whelming and I can no longer provide the specific dates that things occurred beyond that point. Cynthia Gary turned our complaint over to Rick Laughlin, the District Services Manager for The Home Depot store shortly after this. Also, at about this same time or shortly thereafter two different CA Mechanical employees came to the house to install the manual damper which had not been installed previously. When they entered our attic crawl space, they discovered a manual damper was still in place from the previous system. They left that damper in place but installed a new manual damper in the crawl space under our house. As far as we can tell, it served no purpose other than satisfying Mr. Barker's claim that they installed a manual damper as promised. We have never been instructed on it's use.
The following is a couple of things which we feel very possibly was unethical behavior on the part of Mr. Barker verses just a misunderstanding on our part. In the initial meeting on 3/8/2011, Mr. Barker informed us that The Home Depot was offering a $1000 rebate that was due to expire. We later suspected that had been a ploy to get us to sign sooner. We could never confirm with The Home Depot if they had offered such a rebate. Also in the initial meeting for a price quote, I asked about the option of getting a dual sytem to help us balance the hot/cool air throughtout our two story home. Mr. Barker said that a dual system was not necessary. He claimed installing a manual damper would work just as well. And if they couldn't install a manual damper they could install one that was thermostatically controlled. He made it sound very simple. We later were quoted an additional $2,000 to install the thermostatically controlled damper. Mr. Barker generously offered to give us the reduced price of $1,700. Mr. Barker advised my husband that the reason the pressure test had taken so long to be scheduled was because there were only 4-5 companies in the northern part of California who were qualified to perform that test. We have found significantly more than that in our county alone.
In summation: Our heater/ac unit works fine. But we still have the hot/cold imbalances in our home. Since we did not elect to have CA Mechanical install the thermostatically controlled damper, or to do any further work on our system, our compalint with The Home Depot has been closed. We are still deciding if we should learn to live with the problem, call in a different contractor, or just sell the house and be done with it entirely.

They were very quick to make an easy sale and sell me the 5 year warranty program. It took them 5 days to arrange delivery, which I can understand that it can take some time. I had to pay extra for the mount that the unit slides into and for the installation for the 2nd floor. They told the tenant (who has been without A/C for 4 days) that the existing 220 outlet was the wrong outlet and they were not allowed to change it out to a 30amp outlet. They have always changed out my outlets in the past when they needed to be changed out. They went ahead and installed the window unit and told the tenant that it was his responsibility to call an electrician and have him change the plug out. I feel that when a company was paid for installation, the appliance should be working when they leave. They could have changed the plug out in 5 minutes. I found someone who took care of the plug and it only took 5 minutes. On top of it all, he sold me an A/C unit with a heat pump when I had only requested the A/C. They were willing to come and switch it out but I refused.

I was out of town, and the water heater in a rental unit broke. It was a problem with pilot lite. but because the tenant released some water into the pan, he said that the tank was broken and didn't do anything. I would like my money back because they didn't do anything.

FAQs for water heater service projects in Jackson, CA
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.
It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.
It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
