"Less than 5 years ago, I spent in excess of $10,000 to have a new unit installed with a 10 year warranty. I should have seen the red flags from the very beginning. The sales representative told us additional vents would be installed and when the installation crew showed up, that did not happen. Fast forward to the present and I am now on my 4th phone call for an appointment this season, 3 days so far of not being able to work as I waited for a technician to come diagnose the problem. The 3rd. tech came last night and indicated that the work the other tech did was not for the root of the problem. (I was told in front of witnesses that the work needed to be done, was not covered under warranty, would cost me $367 and would fix my issues)In fact, the 3rd tech only made the issue worse by leaving our attic return unscrewed and overfilling our unit with Freon that the 4th tech had to remove from our system. Upon leaving last night I was told that everything was corrected. Today - my home is slowly creeping up in temperature (presently 80 degrees inside, while set to 72). The company keeps trying to sell me a "maintenance plan" and I keep reiterating to EVERY one who pushes it that we have been getting tune ups/cleanings elsewhere and will only use them for warranty issues since we have had NOTHING but problems with them."

We are the #1 Geothermal Heating and Cooling Experts in South Jersey, Central Jersey, and Southeastern Pennsylvania.  The U.S. EPA calls geothermal "the most energy efficient, environmentally clean and cost-effective space conditioning system available".  Upgrade to geothermal, and never buy heating oil or natural gas again. Don't just take our word for it when it comes to D&L's geothermal expertise. Here's what one of our recent customers had to say: “D&L has been an absolute life saver. We had the hardest time finding a tech who knew anything about geothermal systems, until we called D&L... A real standup, old school, quality service company. D&L got a new long-term customer in me, and I strongly recommend them.”

"He has done a good job."

"Jason with Eagle Inspection is, without a doubt, THE BEST home inspector out there! He doesn’t just do his job—he CRUSHES it! Jason goes above and beyond every single time, and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else. As a Realtor, I use Jason for ALL my clients. Whether it’s a cozy South Philly rowhome or a stunning $1+ million property in Huntingdon Valley, Jason is always my go-to. And of course, he’s the only person I trust to inspect my own properties. I’ve been working with Jason for FIVE YEARS, and I honestly feel like I hit the jackpot finding him so early in my career. He’s the total package—knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly kind. In no particular order, here's just a glimpse of the exceptional things he has done for my clients: He found termites in my home—hiding behind a light switch of all places! I can’t imagine any other home inspector catching something so hidden and specific. He goes the extra mile by reviewing contractor bids and making sure my clients aren’t getting ripped off. Who else does that? No one! And Jason doesn’t charge for this incredible service! He works evenings and weekends, so my clients don’t have to rearrange their lives to schedule an inspection. One time, he even skipped an Eagles game (gasp!) because my client was leaving the country the next day. Talk about being reliable—Go Birds! Jason invests in top-notch gear, like advanced water detection tools and a high-tech drone, ensuring in-depth home analysis! Jason is an absolute powerhouse of knowledge, and his expertise is in a league of its own! While other home inspectors receive a quick certification, Jason brings the next-level experience of being a former builder. He often spots details other inspectors often miss. He does an excellent job at explaining everything to homebuyers. He makes them feel confident, informed, and READY to become homeowners. If you’re looking for the most thorough, reliable, and all-around incredible home inspector, JASON IS YOUR GUY! I recommend Jason with my whole heart. 10/10, A+++!"

"Things have to be pretty bad for me to leave a negative review. I hate to do it but in this case it’s necessary. Frank came over to look at my fridge and had an extremely thick accent. Not a complaint but there was a large language barrier to begin with. When he came into my house, he said he was from house. Which I now realize he meant house appliance repair but even with the accent I know he didn’t say anything after house. Now I had called several people from houzz and Angie’s list. I KNEW he was hired From angi because I called his company purely because there was a special offer/promotion for the service charge. I said to him oh I thought I got your number from Angie’s list. Frank told me they were the same thing. I asked him directly if Angie’s list and house were the same thing. He said yes. Ok, I chalked it up to maybe he didn’t understand my English. It’s important to note that when I made the appointment I mentioned the promotional discount on Angie. She said to tell Frank when he showed up. Then after he was in my house, Frank said he would not honor the discount. He said he knew nothing about it. Even after I showed it to him on the website he still would not lower the very expensive service charge just to enter my house. So I told him water was laying under the bottom ice drawer and freezing. He seemed to know what the problem was without even looking at it but when opening the fridge, he mentioned the seal should be replaced. But he also added …in the future. That it was not necessary right now. Then he told me he’d be back in a few days when the parts came in. He started to walk to my front door. I had to ask him what parts he was ordering. Somehow, without any discussion, he also put in an order for the refrigerator seal. I asked him how much the Parts were. He gave me a serious attitude like he was bothered by a stupid question. I told him I was not going to OK any charges until I had that information. He said he wasn’t sure of the prices and From what I could understand, I heard he was going to just tack it on the credit card that I had to give them when I made the appointment. He was very rude and seemed frustrated that I couldn’t understand him. I was very polite about it but I did have to ask him to repeat himself multiple times. I asked him to send me an estimate for the repair and we could possibly make an appointment after I saw the price. Frank told me he would send it that night. I did not receive it. Then theres the phone number weirdness. I was Repeatedly given a different telephone number every time I tried to contact them. I would call a number, had to leave a message, and then someone would call me back from a different number. On their message, they gave me a different number. I found this all to be very shady. They called me once after that and just left a message letting me know they took the liberty of making an appointment for me. It was my machine so I had no conversation with them. I called them back the day of the appt. and then was told the part wasn’t even in. So the service guy couldn’t make the appointment that they had scheduled for me without my consent because the parts (I never approved because I never received the estimate) did not come in and they never even called to let me know. Then I never heard from them again. I called several times. They never called me back. I finally gave up. I was so aggravated and there was/is absolutely no trust with this person or his business. So I had to pay $189 for him to come out just to look at my fridge seals that was not even why I called him. I later saw his website where it specifically states that they like to talk to people first and try to troubleshoot over the phone so as to save customers from having to pay that service charge. I was not offered this service! Considering that when he came in to my house, he didn’t need to even look at the freezer added to the fact i showed him the offer for discount service charge, I really don’t understand why I was charged so much. I ended up calling another company and it was $106 for them to come out and repair the problem. The whole encounter, from beginning to end, was a nightmare. It would’ve still been bad if I hadn’t had to shell out so much money. I won’t even use Angie anymore. That’s how bad the experience was."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can have a gas line professionally installed to convert your traditional fireplace to natural gas; just know it’ll be an extra cost to budget for. The cost to run a gas line where you don’t already have one is about $540, though most homeowners pay between $260 and $820. Your total could be significantly higher if you don’t already have a main gas line running to your home.

A chimney cleaning brick or log can help loosen creosote between professional chimney cleaning appointments. Although they can help keep your chimney cleaner, they are not a substitute for chimney sweeping and are not meant to be used regularly.

Beyond having an inspection, it’s important to do chimney maintenance at least annually to be certain the chimney is safe to use. Cleaning the flue of any built-up particles, creosote, and soot reduces the risk of fire. Fortunately, the cost of hiring a pro to do a chimney inspection often includes a chimney cleaning, so you may not have an extra expense for maintenance.

The cost to rebuild a fireplace varies dramatically depending on what you want to do and the type of fireplace you are rebuilding. A simple electric fireplace can be replaced with ease and at a low cost. On the other end of the spectrum, a wood-burning fireplace could cost well into the tens of thousands. The good news is functioning fireplaces increase your home’s value and are generally a good investment.

If properly constructed with the right materials, a chimney crown can last 50 to 70 years. If done poorly, your chimney cap could need replacing in 20 years or less.
