"It is troubling that we are hearing about this [Member Information Removed] years after it happened. We went back to check our call records and our service records. The initial call was to get an oil heating system up and running and to then do an evaluation as to what additional work needed to be done - I believe this was a [Member Information Removed] property you purchased as we had been out for an estimate for a propane system at another property you had. When we arrived on 4/13 the boiler was shut off at the emergency switch and the water was shut off at the well. We tested all water and heat lines with air and found the 911s auto fill no good on boiler and a split ball valve in basement. We installed both parts. We tried to fire the boiler and it was plugged solid. We brushed out, vacuumed and performed a complete annual maintenance service on the unit installing a [Member Information Removed] filter, strainer and nozzle. (the cleaning took almost 3hours because it was in such poor condition from lack or maintenance). We also had to replace a 007 circulator. The cost was $1,048 for the service call. Once the unit was up and running we went over everything that should be done (as you requested) but as you stated, you didn't have the money at the time and we can't force a customer to do additional work that we know, based on the condition of the unit, should be done. We stand behind our work with a 1 year guarantee so we would have certainly replaced the tank if you wanted us to and we would have warrantied it. There is no record in our dispatch software of us ever going back to the property. Again, we would have welcomed your concerns back in 2018 when this happened as we stand by our work. However, as previously stated, we cannot force a customer to spend additional money when they state that they do not have it and they just want to get the system up and running. We do our best to educate you on what should happen but again, it is only our professional opinion and we can't force you to act on it."
I worked with the owner to find the right type of equipment for my home and he came to work with the installation team on the second day of installation. I had many questions as the purchase comes with a big price tag and I was nervous about making sure I was making the right decision. The team at Main Stream was very patient with all of my questions, working through all of the numbers and various scenarios to find the right solution for my home.
The installation team was very efficient, showed up early, worked all day and was very professional.
I would recommend Main Stream Mechanical as they were honest, very knowledgeable, helpful, and professional.
They said the units were functioning as expected given the life of the furnaces. I gave price a C because there really wasn't any work done and nothing to be cleaned. $289 seemed like a lot for a quick inspection. Eric was punctual and seemed to know his trade well.
The technicians who came were very nice and courteous and were patient with my many questions. I was also impressed that the owner, Eric, was there to inspect all along the way.
We are very satisfied with the system they installed and have been enjoying our new AC!
I will definitely be using them again.
Also, it's worth noting that you do pay a little for this level of service. We got 4 estimates done and Main Stream was the 2nd highest estimate. However, it was worth the extra money to have things done so well.
