We called Homestead on August 17, 2015.
They were available on the 17th, but we had a commitment out of town for the rest of the day.
They agreed to come on the 18th, Arrived first thing in the morning.
They diagnosed it, the capacitor was blown.
They replaced it, check the system to make sure it was cooling indoors.
We were pleased with their promptness and their service.
Fixed failed parts, replaced recalled part, cleaned system. without problems.
We also get our fuel delivered through Homestead and they were great when we set up the whole process.
They also do great with deliveries.
Well, this franchise contractor basically tried to and quot;upselland quot; me complete pipe replacement and almost $1,500 for a backhoe charge alone. The total franchised contractor bill would have been almost $3,000.
Shaw came in, shovelled out a few more inches of dirt, found the leak, did the repairs, filled the hole. Nothing else needed to be replaced and they didn't need a backhoe.
Using Shaw's today saved me over $2,000. I won't use anybody else ever again.
We are very satisfied with the work that was done. We are also pleased with the the quick turn-around from when we first contacted Homestead and when the work was completed.
The customer had a learning experience.
More details: When I couldn't get through initially on the phone call to make contact, I emailed the generic 'contact us' button. Skeptical, due to past results of using the 'contact us' feature on websites, I was pleasantly surprised when I got a call back within a day. I was mailed a brochure, and was encouraged to call around for comparisons. I set up an appointment with a salesman, and he arrived punctually and was very professional in appearance and conduct. I had requested that fuel delivery occur as soon as convenient, which ended up being within a week of the sales visit - and received a phone call from the delivery folks when they realized that they'd booked me on a day that was already too busy... asking if it would be alright to delay delivery by one day. The only complaint with the delivery folks was that they did not leave a copy of the ticket so I could confirm the billings against the metered delivery. The account setup process in the office lagged behind the actual services provided, which resulted in being sent an invoice, rather than having the credit card billed. When I called them to ask about the delivery ticket and the credit card payment, I was assured that a copy of the ticket would be mailed immediately (I had it within 2 days after the call), and the credit card info had not yet made it into my file, which was then immediately corrected, the card charged, and a receipt mailed to me for that as well. I am scheduled to have a technician out to service the furnace this week (easily scheduled to meet my request for a time/date).
