"Technician came out and cleaned both AC units. Had a special where one was free and the other was 49.00 From Louisville Home show. He cleaned units then told my daughter we needed 1000.00 in repairs. He talked to me on cell phone and told me that there were miraculously 2 chipmunk nests, one in each unit. Stated that the relays in both units needed to be replaced, that they had black marks on them. He said it would cost 319.00 for each unit to replace relay, he then said one of the units also needed a sort of resistor replaced and that would also cost 319.00 I asked if I could buy parts From him and do myself and he said no, we don’t sell just parts. I told him I’d get parts from amazon then. I told him both units worked just fine and that I got a deal on the cleaning and that was why he was there.he actually laughed and said ah yeah you’re right both units work fine. He must have taken the chipmunk nests with him as there was no evidence of them at all and nothing in garbage can outside. I have never seen one chipmunk or even a squirrel at my home in the 6 years I’ve been there. He wrote on the receipt that both units are old (15+ years) and I should consider replacing. Can’t help but wonder where his thinking was(replace both units or invest 1000.00 into two units that work fine) I could have been a good customer in the future but now I don’t trust them one bit. Line of crap talk was what that was. Very disappointed."

Fayette Heating & Air was founded in 1971 with one man, one truck and $500. From the start, Al Melrose was committed to providing quality equipment with integrity and outstanding customer service. As a second generation family-owned business, those same values lead our company today. Fayette Heating & Air has been recognized nationally, regionally and locally for both business practices and its community efforts.
"BUYER BEWARE!!!!! This company is all about getting their $99.00 for the estimate, selling you an annual service fee and then quoting exuberant prices. Not really sure if they really care about doing the actual plumbing work. Recently gave me an estimate for a job of $500. Learned later after from another plumber that what they wanted to do was actually not correct AND should have cost no more than $250. Had I used Fayette Heating / H20 Mastero, I would have paid $600 for a job done incorrectly. At least the 99.00 I paid kept me from damaging my house further. There are a lot of reputable plumbers in Lexington. Suggest you look elsewhere"

All residential plumbing. From water heaters, to new construction to drain cleaning. We want to provide quality workmanship at an affordable rate.
All residential plumbing. From water heaters, to new construction to drain cleaning. We want to provide quality workmanship at an affordable rate.
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
There are several questions or things to know before hiring a handyman to do any work in your home.
What kind of work do they do?
Do they have proper licensing?
Do they charge for estimates?
Is the estimate for both labor and materials?
Do they provide references?
Do you provide a guarantee?
When can you start and finish the job?
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
