I emailed Maddox in May when we were pondering replacing our irrigation timer with one of the new wi-fi models. I asked for 1) advice on which model to purchase; and 2) whether it would be a problem during service calls that these timers don't have controls on the unit - they are entirely operated via web or smartphone. The answers I received were 1) we don't know, they're too new and 2) no problem, the tech just needs access to the valves outside. OK, I had hoped for more knowledgeable assistance, but at least it sounds like we can pick the best one and won't have trouble getting winterized. So we purchased the most popular wi-fi controller that is readily available at Best Buy. Also in May. Our neighbors were planning to have a large tree removed on our property line. I emailed Maddox and said, do you have a way to mark the irrigation lines so the tree company doesn't destroy them. They said "I can have my guys come out and mark them for you", we just need to pay a service call and 15 minutes labor. Scheduled the appt. A day or two before, I got a phone call saying oops, we actually don't have the ability to mark sprinkler lines. Now it gets to get time to scheduled our winterization. I contacted Maddox (different employee) and said hey, we have this new controller, are you sure that's not going to be a problem. She said "as long as we can access the valves on the outside and the water is off, we do not need access to the timer." So I set up the appointment on a work day, like I always have, figuring they would do their thing and leave a bill. That morning the tech calls, we can't figure out how to work your controller. I'm in a meeting at work, so we have to reschedule the appointment, and now I need to take time off work to be home for it. They give me a window of 1-6PM. I have another commitment in the morning so I asked "can you be sure they don't come before that?". No problem, "I will see to it the service tech does not arrive until after 1PM." I got a call at 11:54AM saying the tech is running early and is on the way to my house. I get home shortly before 1 and they are in my driveway. At that point I informed them we would not require their service anymore. We have used this company since 2008 to make significant changes to our irrigation as well as annual winterizations. I've given them A's in 3 past reviews. Very disappointed in their performance this year.

Other contractors said they send 2 men. He encountered some problems, was running late, so another man showed up late in the day to help with PVC piping and installation of the humidifier. I had issues with his workmanship right away (wanted to work fast and loose). Because I had a gas fireplace I said that it would be OK if they came back tomorrow to finish the job. They chose to stay and complete the work even though it was dark. They did the rooftop work in the dark (I should have had better sense than to allow it). I even had to furnish the ladders for them to do work on the roof. The truck the installer had apparently was not outfitted to cut and thread pipe for the gas lines. He had a kit of various lengths of pipe nipples, but it was missing the most commonly used lengths. Had to really scrounge around through the truck to get the pipe needed to finish work. Gas line to furnace isn’t plumb (vertical). I had put an Econo-Jet stainless vortex insert in the gas line of the old furnace to increase its efficiency many years ago and forgot about it. It would have been clearly visible during the dis-assembly process and I should have been asked if I wanted to keep it. It was never mentioned. I looked around the basement but couldn’t find it. The next day I had no hot water. They lit the pilot but didn’t rotate the knob to normal so the water heater would work properly. They bent the metal shield out of shape for the pilot opening. It was a royal pain getting that reshaped so it would fit properly. Condensate drains not pitched properly, going uphill on 1 run. Since it was November, they couldn't check out the AC at the time of the installation. AC didn’t cool the house as well as before. It didn’t seem to have enough airflow compared to old furnace. They sent an unlicensed serviceman (alone) to check out furnace. He didn’t solve problem, but did confirm the low airflow. Set up another appointment. Next guy was much better, determined that the motor control board was bad and had to be replaced. Had to wait for new part to be shipped and set up appointment for the installation. He asked me to get my manual so he’d know how to set the dip switches. He discovered dip switches had not been set properly during original installation. It seemed odd to me that he didn't have his own manual since he was coming to install the board. Second winter the house dried out so bad we had nose bleeds and trim joints opened up. I threw away the humidifier water panel and bought a replacement and reset the unit because that's what the flashing LED indicated. The house dryness continued, so I then determined that the solenoid controlling water flow to the unit never came on. I couldn't get the knob off the controller so I could check inside for a loose/broken wire, so I called Aprilaire tech support. Together we determined that a switch was in the wrong position and the dehumidifier never had worked. It takes about 30 seconds to test for water flow to the water panel if you understand how the unit works. Installers never bothered to see if humidifier ran or they really didn’t understand the features of the unit and how to install/test the unit. One PVC joint outside not glued. I discovered it leaning against the other pipe. Since it wasn’t glued, pipe could have rotated the other way and been blocked by snow. Vent cap on roof not level (Installed at night). The ‘QUALITY’ rating above was downgraded primarily for workmanship issues, not the quality of the materials. All the other issues combine to make an ‘unsatisfactory’ rating. It really pains me to write this evaluation. I like to support our local businesses if possible. The other contractors from whom I sought bids were selling the tax credits and utility rebates in effect at the time, thus inflating their prices. I had sought an estimate the previous year from Al Kallas and he was the only one who didn’t push the credits/rebates in his estimate. His integrity impressed me, that’s why his firm got the job. The installation took place during deer season so that may explain some of the hurry up and get it done, workmanship be damned attitude. I’ll never know for sure."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/swartz-creek/kallas-heating-and-cooling-reviews-6164564.htm"},"position":9}]}

FAQs for pest control projects in Swartz Creek, MI
Different pest control methods exist to help mitigate an infestation. Not every technique will work with every pest, which is why speaking with a pest control expert is crucial to taming your problem. Different methods of pest removal include:
The cost of pest control is $175 for the average homeowner. However, you could spend as little as $100 or as much as $500 or more, depending on the infestation size, the number of visits you need, and the pest you’re exterminating.
For example, if you need to rid your home of spiders, you’ll likely be spending between $100 and $300. However, if you have a termite problem, you can expect a bill of $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the infestation size and damage caused.
There are specific methods for pest removal that you can DIY without hiring an expert. If you are preventing pests from making an appearance or clearing out a small infestation of harmless insects, you will likely have success on your own. However, if you’re dealing with pests that eat wood, bedbugs, or other pests that carry a disease risk, like rodents, it’s always worth it to call a pest professional to help you.
Even if you’re not immediately showing signs of pests, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of routine pest control. This should be done yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on your location and if any signs of infestation are already present. For example, if you live by water, you might experience more pests in the spring and summer than someone who lives in a dry climate. Discuss treatment options with your pest professional to determine a suitable schedule for you and your home.
While not every infestation is preventable, there are some actions you can take to minimize the risk of running into these pests in your home. These actions include:
Keeping your home tidy. This includes vacuuming regularly, sanitizing your kitchen, storing food in airtight containers, disposing garbage regularly, and keeping your home clutter-free.
Deep clean at least twice a year. Deep cleaning neglected crevices and corners of your home can help prevent breeding grounds from forming.
Repairing your home when needed. If your home has cracks or holes, you have an open invitation for pests to come in. Remove any standing water and seal any gaps in your floors, walls, and foundation.
Cleaning up your yard. Keep shrubbery and branches well-trimmed and away from your home. Remove fallen leaves and other debris.
Be smart with storage. If you use firewood, store it away from the home (at least 20 feet away if possible) and off of the ground.
