The service was related to a coupon for heating boiler tune up and review. We had air in our water system that was very noisy. The service was set up quickly and Matt came on time and made a good job reviewing our heating system but he was not familiar with radiant heat systems that we have on 2 zones in our home. He got rid of the air. However the noises came back about 2 weeks later and we called them back to find out why. Dave came and he was more familiar with the radiant part of the system and identified a stuck valve and a leaking connection of one of the radiant pipes that let air get into the system. He made a quote on the spot and we are waiting for the full fixing of the valve and connections.

We were so pleased. have had the furnace checked over before but no one ever really took it apart and really cleaned and assessed it until now. We were amazed. We were also having problems with our thermometer. It wasn't accurate and it was difficult to program. He removed the old thermometer and installed a new digital thermometer. It works perfectly and our heating bill has decreased. We would recommend this company without hesitation. _x000D_|Chuck and Michele McAfee_x000D_|Roslindale, MA

Nick came out in a snow storm to give me an estimate on replacing a well pressure tank and installing some forced hot water baseboard in my entry hall. He answered all my questions, and gave me a good price. 2 weeks later, in another snow storm he came back to actually do the work. He worked quickly and efficiently. I now have a warm entry hall, and water pressure in the shower.
Description of Work: replaced pressure tank for artesian well, rebuilt shower control, and installed 8 feet of forced hot water baseboard in entry hall

I was very satisfied with technicians (Marc E.) thoroughness in inspecting and cleaning the furnace. My furnace is relatively new (2008), and ARS installed the furnace, and provided contracted tune up's in the past, I wanted to make sure the furnace was operating at peak efficiency, and check for any problem signs. I don't usually stay with the technician while they work, however, this time I did, and I observed the technician carefully opened and checked both gas burning and electrical components, and brush cleaned a few areas. This process took about 1/2 hour, and appeared to be very thorough. ARS has preformed tune-ups to my A/C and Heating systems for the past several years, and at my request, sends the same technician each time. Also, a few years ago, while my A/C was under a service contract, ARS also performed 2 preventative repairs to my A/C during the tune-up (which I was satisfied with). No repairs were needed to the heating system, and I plan to have ARS come back and tune up my A/C in the springtime. The technician worked quickly, performed numerous checks, provided useful information about my furnace, answered all my questions, and was very courteous. This was money well spent!
Description of Work: Provided tune up for a gas furnace. Purchased through Big Deal.

I have very old plumbing (galvanized pipes) and he managed to clear them!! I bought the big deal and had immediate response to my email and got a phone call. Appointment set up that was convenient for me. He showed up on time, explained everything. Wore disposable booties to protect my floors. Everthing was done quickly and efficiently.
Description of Work: He replaced kitchen sink plumbing so water stopped draining into my dishwater. He also unclogged my bathroom sink which has been a problem for years.

With such a big purchase I need a lot of reading of reviews both on Angies list and other places, these guys got very good reviews. Their price was higher then the other company I had narrowed it down to, they did not match, but split the difference with me, guess I could have been more heavy handed for a better price. Taze did the estimating for me, nice guy, quick return on calls. The installers were prompt and cleaned up well, as well as pleasant to deal with. I want to follow up with them, the humidifier is not working as well as I hoped. How that goes with them will be intersting.
Description of Work: Installed new furnace, central air and a whole house humidifier

Extremely well. I had this on my radar for a while since moving into a new condo. I thought that the fan for the hot air blower was too loud and I wanted the furnace checked anyway. Literally, as soon as I bought the deal and emailed them to set up an appointment, Jay (the owner) called me and asked if I would be home that day. I said yes, and Eric came in about an hour and a half. He spent an hour plus cleaning the contacts, checking the voltage, checking the pilots and the flames, he looked at the fan, venting, duct work and the thermostat. He answered all of my questions and gave me pointers. He scrubbed and cleaned everything, and pronounced it in very good working condition. He was extremely nice and very efficient. I will use them for the a/c in the spring. Thanks so much!

Dave Wietzel (sp?) was great. He arrived right on time at 7am even though it was snowing. He took his shoes off and made sure not to track any snow in the house. He spent over 1 hour tuning-up the boiler and educating me all about it. He was very friendly and optimistic, and did not try to sell me other services. A couple days later on a Saturday we had no hot water (unrelated to the boiler) and so I called ARS and spoke with Jim, the general manager. He systematically went through everything with me on the phone and ultimately correctly diagnosed the problem as being due to a frozen pipe. He could have easily just sent someone out and charged me the weekend rate, but didn't. Based on my two interactions with technicians at ARS, I would definitely use their services again over other plumbing/HVAC services I've used in the past, including some highly rated Angie's List servicers. They definitely won me over.
