They're honest, they knew what they were doing.
The price to repair it seemed steep.He said it would take about 6 hours, $1,380. parts were bought eventually by us for $400 (that would have made the labor cost about several hundred dollars an hour. We decided to do the repair ourselves.
He was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable.
He did not check anything else except for the valves. As long as they are there, it's surprising they didn't give the system a cursory check since we were being charged a minimum of a $95.00 service charge for spending about 20 minutes looking at it.
In the office (an 80 person engineering firm), they were able to do the HVAC work with a minimum of disruption. Their courtesy and demeanor fit right into the professional office environment.
When Charles and Scott came over to re-insulate the duct work, they discovered an issue in a different location than the duct work that was exposed in the ceiling. It turns out that a huge vertical duct located in our upstairs closet was only insulated on one side and not all four, causing the condensation to literally 'rain' on the duct below in the ceiling of our first floor.
They were so great about explaining the problem to me ... and they had everything they needed to open up the wall more and completely insulate the duct on all four sides of the vertical duct, as well as the exposed ducts in the ceiling on our first floor.
From the very beginning of this project, they were the ultimate professionals. They fielded every question I had (I had a lot due to the severity of my situation). I was really impressed on how thorough and detailed their solution was. There was never I time where I felt they didn't know what they were talking about ... or where I felt they were just adding on to the project to increase the bill.
They spent close to six hours making sure everything was insulated properly and in place. And, even though they found more problems than they originally thought, they charged me the same amount they originally estimated. Given the time and detail of the work they completed, I thought their fee was incredibly reasonable.
And, as a result, I no longer have water dripping from my ceiling and my unit is running more efficiently! I am completely confident that they solved the issue and that my home is now better off because of their work. Despite the mess of breaking open holes in the wall, and using different types of insulation to finish the job, they left my house spotless!
I would recommend these guys anytime!!! They will forever be the company we turn to for a/c and furnace maintenance. They are incredibly great at what they do, they are meticulous and really care about their customers. Definitely a company you can trust!
I would definitely recommend Chas for any major or minor repairs.
Boiler was cleaned and parts replaced and working within 2 hours. He did replace a thermostat and one other part not included in his original estimate. He also agreed to work with us later when we are ready to do the total replacement.
Very courteous, honest and professional. He didn't try to talk us into total boiler replacement right away. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to all our friends.
