Not sure what changed in this business, but the person that came out seemed clueless, and felt several $500 parts had to be replaced in order to diagnose the issue. Of course, he could install a new furnace for $2800, and cut my gas bill in half... For doing nothing, he charged me $190, and I had a furnace that stopped working 5 mins after he left. We called him and he instructed us to test some thing over the phone (shouldn't he have done this while he was here???) and said we needed a $500 gas valve. Gave me the run around about when, etc., so I called someone else. They came out on an emergency call, CLEANED my furnace, ran through several start ups to make sure all was running well, and everything was good. They replaced NOTHING, just cleaned it and recommended a a new filter. All is still running fine, now over 24 hrs later! North Macomb is not what it used to be, and I would definitely recommend going elsewhere for any furnace needs. They are not knowledgeable, and just want to replace parts to cost you money!!! I saved myself by stopping payment on the check first thing this morning.

I was quoted to have a part changed by Tony's. He gave me a price,said he would have to order it. The next day Tony's office staff called asking if I wanted the part which had doubled from the original quote (she read the quote I received aloud which confirmed it), she told me she couldn't do...

There's nothing worse than the A/C failing the first time it gets really hot. Monica replied quickly, and Don was out on time. We anticipated a big problem since this was a rental property and the previous renter had "fixed" the furnace on his own, which affected the A/C Don fixed it...

"They did repair the furnace and the chimney lining (which they'd put in about 8 years prior when they were known as Bob's Sheet Meta)l. I paid them $1065 for the repair and was grateful they could fix the problem. One week after they performed the work, my ceiling and chimney began leaking. I hired a construction company to find/repair the leak and the guy let me know that he found pieces of sheet metal on my roof and wondered why. I explained about the furnace job the week before. He also found that there was no seal between the flue and heating cap on the chimney top. He called Byron's and spoke with someone who authorized him to finish their work. I had to pay the construction company $750 to repair the damage caused by Byron's. I gave Byron ample opportunity to do the right thing (reimburse me the $750) and even offered to accept a credit instead. Byron refused to accept any accountability and instead was mad at the construction company for "throwing him under the bus". There are many good repair folks in and around Houghton, MI but sadly I've learned this is is not one of the reputable companies."

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings.
You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn’t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white.
Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
No, you can't apply limewash with a roller and expect good results. Limewash is as much a technique as it is a type of paint, and a freehand application with a brush is part of that technique. Hand brushing a large area can be tiring, but limewash goes on easily and only requires thin coats to be effective.
Costs depend on material damage, labor, replacement parts, and whether additional structural work is required.
