"Beware of shipping issues with this company. Ordered an ice maker installation kit on 10/10/25. Shipping was due no later than 10/20 according to company and FedEx tracking. FedEx tracking showed the package at their facility for 8 days without moving beginning on 10/15. Called FedEx 3 times. Each time they said they cannot find package and I have to contact shipper. Shipper has to make a claim, they will not mark it as lost. Called Appliance Parts Pros twice. Each time they say FedEx has to mark package lost before they will do anything. They also state they have to wait 14 days from them before doing anything because of their contract with FedEx. I don't care about their contract, I want what was ordered and paid for.

"The only reason we needed the new HVAC system was due to our AC needing some expensive parts and the new AC units wouldn't pair up to our old furnace. Since we care for my sick mother in-law who has Stage 4 COPD and needs the AC on from spring to Fall. She is a patient at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN and has many raspatory issues. We started by filing out a form at Costco that we were interested in a quote. I ended up getting a Sales guy named Richard McCain. He was very cocky and sure put on a good show over promising and made everything seem like a Sweet deal. Keep in mind I also worked with Mason at Tonna Mechanical who was outstanding and never over promised and was great to work with. I made a fatal error choosing K&S Heating and Cooling based on the Lennox system being the 2nd best option based on all my research (Carrier was my #1 choice which was offered through Tonna Mechanical). I selected K&S Heating and Cooling in Rochester MN due to the relationship with Costco. Costco offers their members discounts and extra warranties and stand behind the overall customer experience. The quoting process went smoothly and after tons of questions before agreeing to make the $15,000 purchase of the Lennox Elite Series 110,000 BTU Variable (98% eff.) furnace and a 4ton (19 seer) Air Conditioning unit to heat and cool our 5300 sq ft home. Richard McCain even came a second time to ensure his quote was exact and there wouldn't be anything else we needed for the new HVAC system to run. Out of all the information/options Richard McCain from K&S gave us, everything thing we had been promised was the purchase was going through Costco. After many emails and phone calls we selected the to finance the HVAC system the way Richard at K&S suggested as our best option and ensured the sale was through Costco. Installation day came and K&S Heating and Air in Rochester MN did show up on time. I gave the specific instructions to leave all the old HVAC systems parts and components including Thermostats on a tarp I spread out for them. Instead of K&S just throwing the old away we had a family from our church that was down on their luck have a need for an HVAC system. So we gave them all the parts and components (Furnace still worked great but the AC needed some parts to run). Of Course the old thermostats the install guys pocketed and failed to leave them behind as instructed. Keep in mind these thermostats were not even two months old and were $70 each. Our HVAC system was installed and wasn't running right to find out Richard forgot to include a air intake that costed us another $500 that wasn't in the original and final numbers. After the HVAC system was installed my mother in-law wanted to have our ducts cleaned to insure her raspatory health a fighting chance. My mother in-law who has a CDCS grant as she qualifies for due to her health. My mother in-law used some of the grant money to pay for the duct cleaning at our house since we care for her there. K&S Heating and Air showed up with a broken machine (had duct tape holding it together) then the K&S duct cleaning guy insisted that my father in-law help him lift his machine around our house and up and down our stairs. My father in-law has bad knees (has knee surgery next month) so regardless of his knee pain continued to help lug this machine around so his wife can breath better. Of course in the process of duct cleaning the machine breaks open blowing dust everywhere in our house. They submitted the invoice to be paid and received funds from the grant for their services. A few days later my father in-law said they didn't clean at least 15 vents due to wires in the way. So I looked at the invoice and of course they charged for every vent in the house including the ones they couldn't clean. So out of the 60 vents they couldn't clean 15 vents at $15 each vent. They fraudulently knowingly charged and took advantage of my mother in-laws grant and a vulnerable adult. Committing Fraud and theft of State funds that has been reported. Richard had asked me several times to make sure to review my experiences "because big ticket customers like you is the ones we want" that is Richards exact words. So I reviewed in honesty on Google as I have here and I will on other review sites. In the end I raised these concerns to Richard McCain the sales rep from K&S Heating and Cooling in Rochester MN and the concern our HVAC system never was ran through Costco like Richard McCain had promised costing us money and warranties. Richard McCain from K&S fired us as customers and admitting to having our old thermostats (had them for 3-4 months) denied to Costco their install crew had even taken them (they tried to steal them and thought no one would miss them). Here is his terrible response to the issue, Matt,I wanted to touch base with you after dropping off the thermostats. I take full responsibility for the thermostats not being delivered to you. For that I am extremely sorry. The inconvenience this caused you is unforgivable. For the rest of your complaints and issues- I’ve attached a screenshot of one of the final emails to you, from me. This shows that I informed you via phone and confirmed by email that the financing would negate Costco and it’s rebates. Now, Costco will not give you anything because you chose not to run the job through Costco. Also, K&S won’t give you anymore money off because I already gave you a killer deal. Did you not understand? Because it is very clear in this email. I could not have been more clear. And yet, you decided to drag my name through the dirt for a couple hundred dollars and call me a liar. Maybe you didn’t understand, I can see that happening. I know I asked you to reach out to me if you need anything in the future. However, please don’t. If you feel the need to contact the office, go ahead, but refrain from asking for my assistance. If you feel the need to remove your heinous google review—please do. If not, that’s fine too. I really appreciate your feedback and will certainly adjust my “cocky” attitude and hopefully learn about furnaces and ac’s so that I can provide a meal or two for my 3 children. Richard McCain Project Manager I called spoke to the Head shop Manager at K&S to try to resolve these issues as well I was swore at several times. They kept repeating "what do you want from us" over and over. I stated I just want this made right. I am not seeking money. I want what your sales man promised to be delivered. I want our HVAC purchase ran through Costco as it was supposed to be. I asked about the customer satisfaction and the manager laughed at me stating "You bought the system and own it. We don't owe you **** nor do we have to service it or stand behind it". To find out the K&S rep who works the booth at Costco got screwed out of his commission and K&S is ok with screwing their own employees and wont back their own employees. So the main reason for my review is to express our dissatisfaction with K&S Heating and Air and make sure other consumers avoid K&S Heating and Air at all costs. This review is based on actual events and my statements, words and comments are of my own opinion. I was advised by several people to not use K&S Heating and Cooling but I selected to do so because Costco was supposed to be involved. If you are a residential or commercial customer please think twice on using K&S as if they are willing to screw over a customer paying $15,000 think of what you have at stake! If you are looking to hire Richard McCain to work and represent your company I would think twice as he clearly doesn't know how to handle customers or do his current job. Again solely based on my experiences and opinions and the facts."

"I had a terrible experience with Superior Mechanical. First, the technician showed up an hour earlier than scheduled without any prior notice or a courtesy call to ask if moving the appointment up was acceptable. This was extremely inconvenient as I wasn't prepared for the early arrival. Then, they spent only 15 minutes working on the A/C unit and filled it with refrigerant without asking if I wanted them to do so—charging me a whopping $679. Initially, I thought the technician had said the cost would be $67 because I didn’t believe anyone would perform $679 worth of work in just 15 minutes without consulting the homeowner first. This was a shocking and frustrating realization. Adding to my dissatisfaction, the technician didn’t actually diagnose the problem with the unit—he just vaguely mentioned that it "has a leak somewhere" without providing any specific details or a solution. He only entered the house to take pictures of the unit after I specifically asked for a replacement unit cost as the current unit is 30+ years old. When I followed up with Superior Mechanical, they explained that the technician told them I had expressed I wanted to “limp the unit along for the rest of the year.” This assumption was based on a 10-second interaction at my front door when he arrived—hardly a conversation to make such a decision. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, they offered to apply the $679 toward a new unit. Based on my experience so far, I made it clear that I would not be going through them for a new unit. Their second option was to split the cost of the refrigerant, still leaving me out more than $400. When I asked why I was being expected to pay for work I didn’t consent to, they suggested coming back to remove the refrigerant and refunding approximately $550, still charging me for the visit—even though the technician never actually diagnosed the issue and just tried to slap an expensive bandaid on the problem. This lack of communication, failure to properly diagnose the issue, and disregard for my consent was incredibly unprofessional and left me feeling taken advantage of. I strongly advise against using Superior Mechanical."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Converting a gas water heater to an electric one can cost between $870 and $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical needs, and the water heater model. However, it’s always better to contact a local pro for a more accurate quote. Also, since natural gas is cheaper than electricity in most regions, you should prepare yourself for a higher monthly cost after the initial conversion.

Installing a water heater without a permit can result in high fines—as much as hundreds of dollars per day, in some areas. It can also void your homeowners' insurance and cause problems when selling your home because it violates local building codes and safety regulations.

You don’t have to replace expansion tanks at the same time as your hot water heater. You may be able to go six to 12 years or more before needing to replace your expansion tank. At $150 to $450, hot water heater expansion tanks are usually much more affordable than the cost of hot water tanks themselves, which average about $1,190.

Going from a tank to a tankless water heater is one of the most effective ways to lower your utility bills. The switch also frees up more space and ensures a consistent hot water supply, as the water is heated on an as-needed basis. It costs between $5,400 and $7,400 to install a new tankless water heater. Most installation companies will also help dispose of your old water tank.

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.
