I had them come over to check our A/C which had gone out. I had used these guys for a service before and they saved me a bunch of money, so I thought I'd give them a chance again. The technician came out and did a good job diagnosing a bad motor. He then band-aided it so it would work for the night. He said he'd be back between 8-10 the next day. I waited until 10:30 and called them. They said he was running late and would be there between 11-12. I told them to just cancel the service. My time is valuable and now I have to catch up at work. No call and no heads up that they weren't going to be there takes them off my list.
The technician had talked me into a $650 motor. I looked on line and can buy something similar for MUCH less, so I guess I'm grateful they gave me a chance to dump them.
He also talked me into a maintenance schedule for $16/month. Hopefully I can get out of that one since they never did anything except reconnect a wire. I'm sure I'll still have to pay out the wazoo for that..
"I had the pleasure of working with Kelly and Jon. They recently repaired my sewer line by installing a new liner, and I couldn't be happier with their service. From start to finish, they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient. The team took the time to explain the process to me in detail and answered all of my questions. Their professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire project. The sewer line repair was completed efficiently, and the results are outstanding. I highly recommend this company for any plumbing needs; they truly deserve a 5-star rating!"
"Crusader Water was great. They had quick availability for appointments, were quick to get the work done, and took the time to explain the basics of the work they did and answer all the questions we had. Additionally, when there was a complication in the installation process that arose because of the way our home was plumbed, Patrick diagnosed the problem quickly and was able to get it fixed fast."
"WE HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH GUARDIAN! Our situation was somewhat unique in that we purchased an older home with extra awful water! We called Guardian; Jeff and Ryan came out, tested our water and helped us get the absolute best customized water softener system. And truly, we now have the best water! Not only am I beyond pleased with the quality of water we now have but with their customer service and care is AMAZING!! A couple months after our system was installed we had a few questions and they have been so good to answer all our questions and make sure we are taken care of. In all honesty, if I ever moved and had to purchase a water softener again I would 100% use Guardian again!"
"This was a super smooth and seamless process. My husband called and requested an appointment under my name and phone number. I was received prompt email and text message reminders, and the service tech was actually able to meet earlier than the original time (with advance discussion by phone). Once the service tech was on his way, I received a text from the office with a photo of who to expect. After reviewing the basement and kitchen, Poncho was able to provide a quote and asked if I was free for him to go out and purchase supplies and install the gas line that day. He was professional, kind, and efficient. I couldn't be more pleased with how convenient and easy this was and I'm looking forward to working with this business again."
"He came on time and found the problem causing the leak. After getting a new cartridge, he had it fixed in 30 minutes. Very friendly. The cost was less than I thought it would be."
"They had to Jack hammer part of bathroom floor at the tub to access drain. The entire drain system was encased in 8 inches of concrete. They removed concrete and installed all new drainage system. Did the job fast and clean. Wore booties on their shoes. Very professional."
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.
No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.
However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.
These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.
