Description of Work: Maitz installed a new heat pump system in one day. The company called the day before to confirm the appointment, and time of arrival. There were two gentlemen here to do the job. They arrived on time, and introduced themselves. They were both wearing Maitz labeled uniforms. They were driving Maitz labeled trucks. They were very professional and courteous. They completed the job and cleaned up completely. They explained how the new system worked and asked if I had any questions. The price charged was the exact figure originally quoted. I am very pleased with the job.

They didn't actually do anything, as the water heater was completely shut off. It was electric and turned out to be a problem with the mother board, because of which I have to change the entire thing, but I didn't have the money to do it. I was not here when they came and my girlfriend said they were really nice and told what the problem was. We didn't follow it up as we didn't have the money. They charged us only a charge of $50 for the service call. They didn't do anything, but they did show up on time. They were okay and since it was only a service call charge, $50 was reasonable. They were a little early and I will use them again in the future.

We had a building inspection and then a follow up on a heat pump. Their billing was particularly bad because they wanted to charge $800 to come out and recharge a compressor for a heat pump which they quoted us $180. A new compressor costs about $800. They said we have made a mistake or maybe we didn't. They haven't bothered to call us back. I cannot give them a glowing recommendation. When someone tries to mess with you financially it is a real problem. I would not ever use them again.

We have no history of ever working for this person. The address in our database is under another person's ownership, and we haven't worked there since 2007. I recommend that this member verify the facts, and if it is indeed our company to contact Dave @ 610-797-8722.

It went well. They are very good. They are very well versed. They are little pricey. We were little surprised with the price that they gave us. They are punctual. They tell you the cost before they do the work. They are very knowledgeable. The work was done properly. I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Maitz Home Services for heating and A/C within the month. We were not getting as hot water as we wanted; it was just the bath tub and the rest of the house was pretty hot. We had other plumber before but they could not resolve the issue. They actually cleaned the coil in the furnace and it was resolved.

Did have the job done, too expensive.
Description of Work: I called Maitz to get an estimate on a leaking bath tub shower diverter. I had it all taken apart when the arrived. I was told that the part leaking, the little lever that diverts the water from the tub spout to the shower head could not be fixed that the whole brass unit needed replacing. I purchased a new one, Maitz guy came back , basically he needed to desolder the old one and solder in the new one, Ok maybe replace a an elbow or add a 45 as the new piece was not exactly the same, I was guessing a 2 hour job for a plumber..The estimate was 800.00. I told the guy to leave, Id find some one else to do the job..

Response from Maitz Home Services Inc
Client called our office at 7:30pm where a live phone operator scheduled his appointment. After the technician confirmed the problem, client elected to provide the parts himself, where a return trip was rescheduled to install his parts. Upon return, our technician was presented with a new faucet, not the parts as agreed upon originally. A new quote was furnished, and client elected not to complete work with our company. Client paid a total of $49 and Maitz expended 3 hours of time plus travel costs.

I spent about $200 for their services. The first person was not that great, but the second one was pretty good. The first person who came in wasn't very consistent. He gave me some incorrect information in terms of what was needed. However, the second person was able to address the problems. He also did the service for a low price. Overall, they were pretty good.
Description of Work: Maitz Home Services inspected and serviced my heating and AC system about two weeks ago.

Everything went well, The Maitz plumer was punctual and very professional. He answered any questions I had.
Description of Work: My hot water heater started leaking. I called Maitz and they came the same day. My hot water heater was replaced. I would use Maitz again, although I was a little surprised at the cost. Another thing... the bill was just a total bill, no break down of the cost of the hot water heater and labor. I would have felt a little better if I knew what each cost.

I initially called a Monroe county company we had used for many years because they had licensed electricians and did reliable work. Receiving no response to the message I left, I checked Angie's list and selected Maitz because they had good reviews, were insured and bonded, and we were in their service area. Although I have no objection to leaving messages on business answering machines, I was still pleased when a person answered. After I explained what we needed to have done, I was told that they could send someone out the next day (Saturday). There would be a $39.00 service charge to look over the job and give us an estimate. If the estimate was acceptable, the work would be done that day. Given the cost of gas, I thought that was a fair arrangement. We were told that and quot;Johnand quot; the service man would be at our house between 1 and 4pm. The next morning, we received a call that the service man could be at our house earlier, if that was convenient - which it was. When John arrived, we gave him a list of what we wanted done, showed him where everything was, and he went to work on the estimate. The most complicated job was disconnecting the 230v circuit. About 20 feet of wire ran through a very cramped crawlspace, and we were given two options: 1, disconnect the wire at the at the electric panel and remove only what was accessible in the basement; 2, have all the wire removed from the crawl space, as well. We chose the first option. The estimate probably took less than 1/2 hour. We thought it was very fair, considering what had to be done, and what we had paid for comparable services in the past. We also had an Angie's List coupon for $50.00 off, which was a great incentive. The work was completed in about two hours, and we were very satisfied with the results. We were also given an estimate of $176.00 to remove 2 ceiling lights and replace with new ones. I'm sure we will contact Maitz again to do that.
Description of Work: 1. We needed a switch replaced in an old lighted medicine cabinet. My husband couldn't figure out how to get to the switch without damaging the cabinet, so we decided professional help was needed. 2. We needed to disconnect and remove a 230v circuit, including an junction box, for an old heat pump 3. We wanted to replace two ceiling light fixtures in the den and wanted an estimate for doing it, plus advice on the kind of replacement we could use.

Our central air went out on one of the hottest days of the year. My mother has COPD and it was very important to get the problem fixed ASAP. I called first thing in the morning and told someone would be in the area that afternoon and they gave me a four hour window and I got a call about three hours later and within the next 1/2 hour we where up and running. No run around no "we will have to order that" and with the unit being over 20 years old that is what we where expecting. The price was fair and the service was excellent. Mark (electrician) was very nice and personable. I would use this company a

I called for repair service at the height of the a/c season. Meitz responded with an appointment the same day. I was informed where I was on the queue, and called again when the service technician was on his way. He arrived promptly within the time estimated, and completed the job efficiently, with courtesy throughout the appointment. This company stays on my list of preferred service providers.

They were very pleasant to deal with both office and the repair person. They did a lot of work. I would say it is a good company, seemed to be professional. They are not cheap on a long shot; but I got what I paid for. The price is expensive. I will use them again.

I was very pleased with them. They had a new girl come and give me an estimate. It turned out that she didn’t know what she was doing. She thought that they were just going to pull out two faucets and replace the faucets. They couldn’t do that it had to be the whole sink. They said that once they give the price, they stick to that. Even if it was $800 they stayed with the price what they had advertised. They put in the whole sink and that was fast. They are not really cheap. The work which they do is very professional. They clean up. I would use them in the future.
