"This is the worst sprinkler company we have ever used. They used to be much better. We needed to have our system reinstalled after a year of disuse, as well as our control box. There was a lot going on here when they came out, and I never did monitor them. We xeriscaped our front yard and wanted to convert that to used less water. They charged us over $1000 to convert to higher sprays, but they kept finding leaks and the price kept going up. They were supposed to check our back and side yards too, but since they were here, several heads have broken off. Why didn't they do a proper inspection? Also they reinstalled my control box and it cannot be manually controlled, or programmed. When these leaks in the back happened, they charged me $100 to fix one pipe and replace a head (they claimed it had checked before and charged me to come out and do a replacement. WHY DIDN'T THEY DO A COMPLETE CHECK AND ESTIMATE THE FIRST TIME? I HAD ALSO THOUGHT OF DRIP IRRIGATION ON AN INITIAL VISIT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I mentioned this during the working visit and told me that it would cost me $6,000 or more--and this was AFTER they fixed some leaks."

With over 1,000 reviews, Air Systems has truly earned the Super Service Award the past 11 years! We are also a Trane Comfort Specialist company, providing high-quality services that include AC repair, duct repair, duct replacement, leak detection, and indoor air quality checking. Air Systems has been in operation under the leadership and guidance of Carlos and Sylvia Jimenez since 1988. Carlos and Sylvia have a combined experience in the HVAC industry of over 60 years. His knowledge of the HVAC industry is extensive and varied, as demonstrated by the numerous industry certifications awarded him, and her experience and administrative expertise has enabled her to develop a well structured organization. We do not service or install window units.
"• So far, we could not be happier with our choice of our new Trane Heat Pump and with choosing Air Systems to install the system. • Why we chose the Trane XV18 (3 Ton model). • Our house was built 34 years ago and we have been the owners for 10 years. The original two Trane heat pumps have run very well during our time but the larger unit began to leak Freon (R22) so it was time to consider a new system and given our experience with Trane reliability, the brand was high on our list. • It has been difficult to find unbiased measures on what system is best on the web. Everyone has their opinions. We relied on the Consumer Reports reviews and found that American Standard and Trane (now owned by the same company and built in the same factory) to be rated the highest. • We paid extra for the XV18 not only for the increased SEER efficiency but also the quiet operation and how the variable compressor and fan can precisely hold any temperature you set it to. • NOTE: This is not an inexpensive model. We do expect a reasonable return on our investment in electric bill savings but also feel that it will be a good selling point if/when we decide to sell the house. • Why we chose Air Systems to install our Trane System • I read that it is prudent to get at least 3 estimates. I ended up getting 5 (with Air Systems being the last): three estimates for companies that installed Trane Systems, one that installed American Standard and one who installed American Pride (A Goodman/Amana Company) • One of the first estimates was from Jon Wayne Service Company. Jon Wayne only installs American Pride Brand Heat Pumps. Goodman and Amana are rated pretty low in Consumer Reports but I received a “Half-Off” equipment in the mail so I thought I would at least get an estimate and if the savings was significant enough, I would consider using them. They seemed thorough in checking out the house and had a very polished sales pitch but in the end, to our surprise, even with the coupon their estimate ended up being by far the highest for a similar sized system that was rated one of the lowest rated in reliability. • Champion AC installs Trane systems and I noticed they had a remarkably similar sales approach to Jon Wayne (a visual tiered system that seemed to make upselling easy). The price estimate seemed high (ended up over $5,000 more than I paid to Air Systems). • Had two other estimates. The American Standard guy never even left the ladder to look at the existing system (located in the space above our second floor kitchen) and gave me an estimate that was crazy high. The last estimate was low in price but the estimator missed a few challenges that the others pointed out with the install (size of new system would not have fit in the footprint of the old system and would require it to be completely reconfigured with new ductwork). • I was starting to get extremely frustrated. I started to scrutinize the reviews more and really liked the honesty, responsiveness and quality of work reflected in the reviews for Air Systems. I sent a text to Air Systems and within a few minutes I received a call from Mr. Carlos Jimenez (I believe he is the Co-Owner of the company) and we scheduled a time for him to come out. Carlos came out to look at our old system and sent us estimates based on different SEER levels. The estimates were good and we felt that Mr. Jimenez showed us the pride of a business owner and not a salesman. • In conclusion, we could not have been happier which our choice of system and the installer. The workmen were friendly, hardworking and left the house cleaner than when they came. Big enough company to be able to handle the job efficiently (they had 4 trucks at times to our house during the 2 ½ day install) but small enough to have the company owner checking in a few hours every day to make sure things were being done right."

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50 to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
