"I cannot say enough for the character of both Fred & Rachel Clark. To say they went above and beyond expectations is an understatement. I was at a loss on how to solve a problem for a customer that had installed a mini split unit with several intricacies and conditions that made it difficult to complete. Rachel was incredibly personable and easy to deal with over the phone and in person throughout the process, from scheduling the service call, to collecting final payment. Fred was on time, gave me several pieces of advice and insight that he in no way, was required to, and made sure that I had everything I needed when he left. I got more than my money's worth for the times that he showed up, and when he left, I had peace of mind that a true professional had been there. Thank you Fred & Rachel, For anyone looking at HVAC services in this area, there are companies that are good at what they do, and then there is Clark's Mechanical, a step far above the rest."
"Phenomenal! After many interactions with Plumbing companies over the years, Wild Water is hands down the best! After 2 different companies ATTEMPTED repairs on one of our properties, we called Wild Water. Not only did they fix the mess that was created by another company. They made it look easy!! Great attitudes, Professional, respectful and the knowledge they have is very comforting and it shows through the quality of their work. Absolutely incredible! Definitely our go to for plumbing repairs in the future! They took a very stressful situation and turned it into a great experience! Highly recommend! Thank you Wild Water! You are our heroes!"
"All of my toilets in the house backed up. Called wild Waters plumbing who responded promptly. Found a plug in my septic tank and used a shovel to remove it. Refused to charge a trip charge despite my insistence. This is a highly ethical company focused on customer service. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a honest plumber. I will certainly be using them in the future for other needs."
"☆☆☆☆☆ dream team COMPANY! I had most contact with Julian throughout the job, but his partner and Electrician were JUST AS NICE. They had cloths on my floors, as they were in and out of my crawl space. They even left to get a particular component, specific for my install. No damage to home. There was no laughing or joking around. They were concentrated on install, measuring, calculating out loud between the three of them. No cussing or profanity, either. Julian was professional and explained everything to me, including why manual was left on unit, so when inspector came, it was there, as it couldn't be signed off without it. Thermostat looks great! He also knew a lot about furnaces, which is my next thing. *Beware of companies won't give you prices on ANYTHING and/or charge you estimate to come to your house... Another reason I picked PEAK HOME was their receptionists! Sweetest, most understanding ladies! If you need to install A/C, go with this company - definitely recommend!"
"We were notified by text and e mail of our appointment, who was coming over. The unit was inspected and was given the option to repair or replace. We elected repair, the tech arrived on time, very pleasant to talk with, and the work was completed in a couple of hours. We will recommend Comfort by Design to all our friends and neighbors."
"Responsiveness to the furnace issue was great -- next day service. Technician identified the problem immediately and repair completed within an hour. Furnance has worked fine ever since the fix."
"Freezer was given to us by my mother who bought it new in 1993. When we plugged it in it wouldn’t get cold. I Was expecting a large delivery of beef so time was critical. Paul was very responsive and arranged in short notice to have an experienced technician, Jesus, come do the repair, even located replacement parts which based on age was a challenge. Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend."
"I called Anytime Plumbing because I had used them before and they had plumbers out in about 30 minutes which was sooner than I expected. Their employees are the best and I will always use them! I hate to see low reviews because they are truly a great company! The problem was fixed promptly and professionally and at a great rate."
There are many signs and symptoms to look out for that can indicate that your HVAC system needs repair, including the following:
Your indoor air is uncomfortably hot or cold.
Your energy bills suddenly increase without explanation.
Your AC is blowing warm air or not blowing air at all.
You notice leaks around your HVAC equipment.
Your equipment makes unusual noises during operation.
You notice strange odors coming from your equipment.
You notice that the humidity in your home is higher than normal.
The thermostat no longer seems to match the actual temperature.
Properly maintained stucco can enhance insulation, reducing energy loss.
Deciding whether to repair or replace your HVAC system largely depends on its age, the cost of repairs, and its overall performance. If the system is over a decade old and requires frequent or expensive repairs (e.g., totaling over $5,000), replacement is often the more cost-effective choice, especially if the warranty has expired. It is usually worth repairing a newer system, but if it is approaching the end of its typical 15- to 25-year lifespan, replacement might be a better long-term investment. Signs that you may need a replacement include increased humidity, higher energy bills, uneven heating or cooling, and excessive dust. Before deciding, ask your HVAC contractor to check if any parts are covered under warranty, which could save you money on repairs.
When it comes to bleeding a radiator, the goal is to let out trapped air rather than letting out the water. Naturally, some water will dribble out when you open the valve to let out the air. But you don’t want a lot of water to leak out. Just leave the valve open long enough that the hissing noise stops, meaning the air has escaped, and just a dribble of water comes out of the radiator.
NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification is not legally required for HVAC technicians in most areas, but hiring a professional with this certification is highly recommended. NATE-certified technicians demonstrated their expertise and proficiency in different types of HVAC systems, offering assurance of quality service. It's a voluntary certification, yet it indicates a commitment to professionalism and ongoing training. Choosing a NATE-certified technician often means you're working with someone who is up-to-date on industry standards and best practices, which can lead to better service, energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings.
