Great experience. Fred called to confirm the appointment prior to the actual day. On the day of the appointment he was right on schedule. Fred worked efficiently, described the service he was performing and pointed out additional information about my furnace. Afterward he ensured the work area was cleaned. This is just the way this type of service should be!

I have already submitted a review however that was before 1/10/13, when my Natural Gas Furnace almost caught fire. I had to call UGI out to our home due to high flames coming from the furnace. Once UGI inspected the furnance they informed me that my furnace had not been cleaned in sometime, I then informed them that Fred Cramer came to my home for $59.00 in Oct 2012 to clean the furnace...the service man from UGI said no way. He then said that it would need cleaned and he was unable to perform that service and that I would be without heat until I was scheduled to have the cleaning through UGI. The next morning I called the company WF Buffington which I've worked with them for several years. They informed me of the same information. The service man said that there was no possible way that the furnace could have been cleaned. He said that there is not much to the furance for it to be the way it was if it had been cleaned. It took two hours however my furnace is clean and is working perfectly. I called Fred Crammer the evening of 1/10/12 and he informed me that he was not coming to my home, that he did all that he was to do and that he will not come and check his work, honor any kind of warranty and left me and my family without heat for the night. I informed him that I would be contacting the BBb and Angies list and his response was "that's fine". PLEASE DO NOT USE HIS SERVICE. I will be contacting the BBB and the PA Attorney General's office if to do nothing more than report this scrupulous work. I would like a refund for the non work that Fred Cramer claimed he preformed and the serives calls for UGI and WB Buffington to be refunded to me.

I did clean the boiler flue passages with a brush, I vacuumed out the chimney base and removed the burners and cleaned them also. The burners were loaded with rust and I blew them out with a co2 cartridge. I checked the boiler when I was done and it was burning clean. Something had changed since the boiler was cleaned for it to soot up. Once UGI put a red tag on the boiler I cannot touch it it becomes their irresponsibility. The boiler was thoroughly cleaned by me, I have nothing to gain by not cleaning a unit.

As best as I can recall, he called me to set up a date to perform the service for which the certificate was purchased. There was some extra service which he offered as an option that I accepted. He was thorough and very professional. The total service fee was less than half what the prior provider was asking that year.

Excellent! Everything was in order.
Description of Work: Furnace checked. Everything was okay, but it was great to have that reassurance at such a wonderful price. This service was purchased from Angie's list in August, but Fred honored that price, although he could have charged more. That was greatly appreciated. I will have him back to check the air conditioning unit when the time comes.

My aging heat pump was freezing up when it turned on, it also was not turning itself off. It just kept on running. Fred Cramer did a service on my heat pump and determined that my aging heat pump needed a new computer panel. Fred told me the price to replace my computer panel before he did any work. Fred gave me what I thought was a very good price, and I told him to do the work. Fred is very professional and very friendly.He tells you what needs to be done, and give you great service at a great price. I would recommend Fred Cramer to anyone who asks me!!!!!!!!!!

Cramer appeared on time and did a relatively good job of inspecting my central air conditioning equipment. He claimed the unit was low on freon and claimed that because it was freon and not the newer fluid, he'd have to charge me around $150.00 per pound. It required two pounds. Then he said the valve was leaking and needed to repair that, but I had to have another AC specialist come to repair the valve again when I noticed something dripping from the back of the unit. Not sure what happened, but the second repairman, a friend of mine, said the valve was leaking and had to replace it, along with adding more freon.
Description of Work: Cramer was part of an Angies list deal to have my AC unit inpected. Date is only an approximation as I do not recall when it was performed exactly.

Sorry you lost the charge. If I had known I could have repaired the problem. I charged you $50 a pound not $150 for refrigerant. Hope your friend got it!

Fred worked methodically and thoroughly, and solved the problems my system had. I had purchased my house last winter, and was not familiar with a natural gas fired hot water system. Fred instructed me in what I needed to know, and answered my questions. Most of the work was in the basement, at my furnace, after he checked my two thermostats and a top floor shut-off valve. I was quite pleased with Fred Cramer's service, and intend to hire him next year to check out my system.
Description of Work: Purchased Fred's heating system check for $69 He identified a purging of system as needed, for $60 additional.
