"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"

We look forward to building lasting relationships and guarantee your satisfaction. Give us a call today to get your project started.
"I paid in advance, based on Trust, and influenced by the Pipe-surgeons website overview. I would not recommend paying in advance. I have always read that sharp corners in sewage pipes can collect paper and cause clogs, and the glue manufacturers recommend all corners be rounded. This is a mark of quality work I did not receive. There was additional work required after a failed inspection. Adding this work to my cost was not in the agreement. A journeyman plumber and an apprentice did the work, backed by a master plumber. The journeyman was methodical and competent, as best I could tell, but I concluded he really did not enjoy the work, it was a job that required plenty of manual labor, but was not at all untypical of any ; Underground ; plumbing, required under a slab."

Water heater services FAQs
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.
It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.
It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
