The first team showed up to drill the well and encountered all sorts of issues with their equipment and other things that were outside their control. After they got it all figured out, man did they drill. The A team was great. They even drilled over the weekend in order to get the job done on time.
However after that the F teams showed up.
First up, there were the guys who came to grout the geothermal wells. Well they managed to do that, as well as grout a large part of my front yard for some reason.
Then after them, the excavators showed up. These guys were here to run the geothermal pipes into our house. First off, they decided to use our front porch as a mud scraper for their boots. After that, they put booties on their feet, walked through said mud, and tracked it into our house. Also, my wife caught them trying to bury their trash in the holes they dug. I don't know why they decided to use my front yard as a dumping ground, but they did. They even managed to cut a cable that was marked by one call. I could keep going on about the excavators, but I think you get the gist.
Man if it was only the A team that showed up, we would have been ecstatic with their service. Sadly the other teams really soured us on the company.
An appointment was made and the installer arrived promptly the next week, had a great understanding of the job and reviewed the plan with me. I had a few ideas in mind for some additional bypass plumbing I wanted and he suggested a more efficient and better way of doing it which I quickly agreed to. Installer was very accommodating, friendly, confident, and conscientious. He did the job the way he would have done it in his own house. I appreciated the attention to detail to get the pipes run straight, clamps applied solidly, and his overall work ethic. He cleaned up after himself and took all garbage and boxes away. After install, he dumped in 2 bags of solar salt to get me started and then tested the unit's different modes including backwash and discharge to insure there were no leaks anywhere. Water was tested for hardness (grains) and softener was set to the right settings. He explained how the unit worked and answered a few technical questions I had.
One note of interest (that is not a problem at all) - my house is 5 years old and was plumbed with copper. I couldn't conceive the money and time that would have been needed to do all the work in copper, and when he arrived I found out they used PVC (Schedule 40) instead of copper. That is fine with me because I feel it is better than PEX tubing and was much faster and easier to worth with than copper, but he could keep the runs nice and neat similar to copper. There have been no leaks or problems at all.
I can't say enough about the experience. I am picky and was more than satisfied with the quality of work and the entire process from info seeking to billing. The only thing I need to follow up on with them is and quot;How do I know it's running?and quot; Sounds funny, but I know it's working because the water is soft and great for showering and doing laundry, but I never hear the unit run to backwash like in my other house. Also, I like that the unit has a turbine that and quot;countsand quot; the gallons of water used before backwashing instead of just doing it on a timer schedule whether you are using soft water or not.
Total time on site due to my extra plumbing requests was around 4 hours. I was billed within a month to the exact price I was quoted and I paid promptly and happily. I wish more places operated like this!
