"they had to dig out some for our pool they brought along sheets of rubber to drive the earth mover on so it didn't damage the yard I was very impressed .they cleaned up after themselves and were very polite a first rate crew along with owner"
"I called several HVAC companies and none were able to respond immediately. Then I spoke to Shawn at Climate Master. He was able to diagnose the problem over the phone . It wasn't something that could be fixed that day. But Shawn stopped in on his way to another call just to verify that he was correct in his assessment. It was so reassuring and he called the office to make sure someone could come the next morning. Chuck came out Monday morning and took care of everything quickly to have our AC up and running. Turns out part of the problem was an improperly set fan speed when the AC was installed. This is a great company, trustworthy and efficient. Thanks so much to Angie's List for helping me find them!!"
"John answered on the first call and came by the same day to see the work and give me a price. 2 days later he had his crew there on time and ready to work. They went above and beyond and made sure to not only remove everything from the home but also haul everything away so I wouldn't be stuck with all the garbage. I would hire them again and will be referring them to people."
"We had let our pool go, lots of leaves and debris in the pool. John was great! Came out the following day, performed all that was asked and then some. Trouble shooted our filter, made recommendations for future maintenance. I would definitely recommend them to perform all your pool service needs. Jason-Mokena"
"The tech was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to satisfy us. Our faucet was broken would not attach to the sink as the copper seal broke to the water lines."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts
Losing some water from splashing and evaporation is normal. However, if you notice a rapid drop in the water level or are adding water more frequently than usual, you might have a leak. Other common signs of a pool leak include:
Unexplained soft, mushy, or wet spots in the yard.
Cracks in the pool's structure or falling tiles.
Higher-than-normal water bills.
Persistent algae growth or water discoloration.
Standing water near the pump, pipes, or other pool equipment.
It’s okay to leave a pool pump on 24-7. In fact, running it continuously has big upsides, including consistently distributing chemicals, keeping a steady pool temperature, preventing algae growth, and keeping pool water clean. However, there is a tradeoff—operating a pool pump around the clock increases energy costs and can take a toll on the pump’s longevity. If you want to run your pool pump all the time, invest in energy-saving equipment like a variable-speed pump.
It’s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.
Size is the main difference between a pool and a spool. Spools are typically about half the size of an average pool, so they’re ideal for yards without the space for a full-sized pool. Spools are also easier to heat, so they tend to be a higher temperature than pools and can be adjusted to get as hot as a spa when it’s time for a relaxing soak. Spools also contain jets and blowers, while most pools do not.
You don’t need to drain the whole pool to patch a pool liner, but be prepared to dive in with your swimsuit and goggles to patch a leak below the water level. By draining the pool, you can actually expose the liner to more harsh conditions, like wind and sunlight, that cause the tears to worsen. It’s best to use the ink test and waterproof patches or tape to identify the leak and patch it up.
