He replaced our old electric range with a gas range. Fixed a toilet that was beginning to leak into our floor. Fixed our clogged dishwasher line and replaced all the gas lines in our rental home. All his work is done with the utmost care and safety. He looks at the problem and communicates why or why not the work is necessary. I was out of state when the tenants reported a gas leak. On further inspection it was determined that all the lines were old and needed replacement. Obviously the tenants were very concerned. Because I had used Anam P many times before I trusted his judgment, integrity and knowledge. I knew that he would not recommend anything that didn't really need to be done. The work was begun the next day and he worked through the weekend to complete it before his jobs the following Monday. His cost was more than fair. I received this note from the tenants and it says it all. "Anam Paldgyee finished today. He was GREAT! We will definitely use him on our house. He was very professional, conscientious and it seems did an excellent job. He kept me informed all along the way of what he was doing and when we would/wouldn't have hot water or gas to the stove. We had plans in the house this weekend; guests on Saturday night and a cleaning person on Saturday. Not having a stove or hot water and giving Padgyee access to various parts of the house throughout the 3 day could have been over-the-top challenging. But he was so easy to work with and now the gas lines are safe. Yay. He showed me where the gas shut offs are in and out of the house, which I am so grateful to know in case of an emergency." As a homeowner and landlord I cannot overstate how secure I feel using Green Eagle Plumbing. I feel Anam P is not only great plumber but enjoys his work and takes your trust very seriously. I unhesitatingly recommend him.

The one we used last time we had a furnace maintenance issue is no longer in business. I chose Hassler from among several that got good reviews on Angie's List and Yelp. I called Hassler and was immediately given an appointment the following day for between noon and 2 p.m. Derek, the technician assigned to the job, showed up at 1:30 and went right to work (which entailed going into our damp crawl space). He diagnosed the problem, a burned out pilot generator, very quickly, sized up what to do about it, and made the fix very promptly. In addition to working in the crawl space, Derek was required to work in very tight quarters to access the furnace--I've mucked around down there and I give him extra points for that. Derek also made sure I understood the price he'd be charging before he proceeded. As I said before, it struck me as being on the high side but fair given all the circumstances. Derek also inspected the heat exchanger in the furnace to insure it's still sound, explained that a cracked or broken heat exchanger can be a source of carbon monoxide gas, and inquired into whether we have a working CO monitor in the house (we do). All in all, I was satisfied with my experience with Hassler and would not hesitate to recommend the company or consider them for another job on our home.

They also cleaned an inspected the laundry dryer duct and vent system and did a minor inspection on the furnace itself. Everything went smoothly. Josh also reduced the length of an overly long flexible duct from the duct system to the furnace itself and finally found a minor gas leak in the regulator of the furnace. We settled up and Josh recommended strongly that I call PG&E for a full gas leak inspection. PG&E later arrived and did the gas leak inspection and minor repair of the furnace regulator leak free of charge. Overall I was quite impressed with Josh's crew's efficiency and professionalism. They also worked with us in driveway logistics (getting cars out, moving around) and also worked with me to relocate my cat to different rooms of the house while they did their work.

GTO disconnected the gas line to our stove, which we've replaced with an induction range. They're a delight to work with. Prompt, effective and reasonably priced. Recommended!
I originally liked the service all around. But, here we are 2+ weeks later and we still have no heat during some of the coldest days and nights.

"I had a service technician come out to diagnose my refrigerator 3 weeks ago. The part needed to be ordered, and after paying for the part, I scheduled the repair for 7 days after the initial diagnosis. The repairman did not show during the scheduled time, and I was called the next day to reschedule. I scheduled it for 8 days after that. The day before my second appointment, I was called, and asked to reschedule again. I requested to speak with a manager regarding the multiple reschedules. I was told I would hear back from one. The next appointment was scheduled for 7 days later. I called 5 days later as I had not heard from a manager. I was told I would be called back. On the day of the next appointment I was called and told that they would need to reschedule again. I have still not heard from a manager."

"Juan did a complete remodel of one of our baths. It was a half bath and now we added a shower. He was professional, on time, and kept us up to date on the progress. He communicated clearly and if there were any changes along the way he made sure we were aware of what needed to be done and why. He did an excellent job and turned a dull old bath into a sleek/modern luxury bath. The space was small so he helped me realize my vision of what I wanted the bathroom to be. It is now my favorite bathroom in the house. I highly recommend Juan! I will definitely be working with him in future home projects. Thank you!"

FAQs for gas fireplace service projects in Kensington, CA

A typical repair of an igniter can range from $100 to $150. However, if you need to repair your mantel, expect the bill to be anywhere from $500 to $1,200. Wood fireplaces tend to cost more to repair due to specialized labor costs. Electric fireplaces tend to be the most cost-effective to repair, along with gas.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.

Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
