"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."

"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+++!"

About Us- OUR MISSION At Mattioni Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, our mission is to groom the next generation of technicians by honoring our values of 5-Star customer service and operational excellence. OUR STORY For over seventy years, Mattioni Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, Inc.'s dedicated employees have proudly served the Chester County, Pennsylvania area with their knowledgeable, courteous, and professional service. A.F. Mattioni & Sons Plumbing & Heating was founded on the Mattioni family farm along the (back then) very rural Route 113 outside of Downingtown, PA in 1948. The original barn which housed the company still stands! However, a newer, larger building on the family's property is the current home for the third generation of Mattioni’s to run the service-oriented business, but their commitment to quality has not changed. OUR PROMISE Our promise to you is to continue to grow and modernize so that we can provide you with the best products and services. We will continue to stick to our roots of caring deeply for both our customers and our employees. We promise to live this every day and to continue this legacy.

"Overestimated the time to complete an 9 hr job by scheduling a 16 hr window (2 guys x 8 hrs) and charged for 16 hrs regardless. I'd imagine they did the same for the materials, 60 feet of duct needed but they quoted 200. Got the job done, but probably twice the price of what it should have been."

"Repair Service to Fix Gas Boiler - WM Henderson first sends out a tech who is not familiar with gas boilers and admits there is an issue but does not know how to diagnose it. I had to pay $89 for this. Instead of having the right person come out, I had to to actively call again to get someone else to come out. The 2nd tech diagnosed the issue, but wants to charge me the same $89 that I already paid. - and quotes me $380 for the repair - and has to order the part. I agree and then call back the next day to confirm part is on order - and they tell me the charge is $1,015. I asked to speak to a manager to discuss, and no one is available and no one calls me back. I bought the replacement part from a supply where house (confirming it works with my make/model of boiler) and it cost me $165. I have had other scheduling issues with them as well. Don't use them!!!!!!!!"

"though I appreciate the emergency Saturday service call (cost 169.00), I thought the additional charge of 303.00 (450.00) for a diagnostic check and repair ( no parts necessary - just less than a hour of manpower) was a bit exorbitant. perhaps I failed to realize that heating/ac personnel are paid on the equivalent scale as neurosurgeons."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

An annual inspection can ensure that a fireplace is in proper working order to avoid fire hazards and the release of carbon monoxide into the home. Not all fireplace issues, especially blockages, are easily visible from inside or outside the home, which is why a professional must conduct a thorough internal inspection of all of the fireplace and chimney components.

While wood stove fans are effective for improving heat distribution, they rely on the stove reaching a certain temperature to operate efficiently. If the stove does not generate enough heat, the fan may not start or may not move air effectively. Additionally, like any fan, wood stove fans cannot cool a stove or reduce its heat output—they only redistribute existing warmth.

In addition to scheduling an annual inspection, it’s a good idea to clean your gas fireplace at least once or twice per year. It’s a simple process that involves removing and scrubbing the glass, cleaning off the logs and rocks, vacuuming the inside, and wiping down the exterior. It should take about an hour.

While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or “green wood,” should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it’s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.

A 40-pound bag of wood pellets can provide a solid 24 hours or so of burn time, though the exact length may vary. If you’re using your pellet stove as an exclusive heat source during the winter, you’ll need an estimated 100 to 150 of those 40-pound bags, depending on how hot you like to keep your home, its size, the climate, and other factors.
