That was the start of my day at 5:30 and going into the utility room I saw that the hot water heater was leaking a steady stream into the emergency drain pan. I turned off the water supply and then got onto Angie?s List to find a plumber. I called Fitch Specialties and left a message and had a return call from the owner, Tim, within 15 minutes. I explained the situation and Tim was at the house later that morning. He arrived in a large van which contained all the supplies needed for the job ? including several water heaters. This allowed him to work without once leaving to run and get supplies or part. To jump to the end: we had a new tank-less water heater installed and working before Tim left that same day! We?d rather be without power than without hot water so we were very pleased! Tim did an amazing job and an incredible amount of work without assistance (other than me cleaning up some water and such) and without taking a break or leaving the house. Start to finish he worked to remove the old, busted water heater and install the new tank-less one. This entailed running a new gas supply line (thankfully the incoming gas supply was right there at the utility room) and removing the old exhaust assembly. Tim was able to put the new exhaust assembly into the old, existing hole through the wall ? which saved time and saved me from having to worry about yet another hole in the wall. Tim ran new piping and got the water running again the same day. This is our 3rd water heater, and our 1st (and hopefully last) tank-less. We?d recommend calling Tim Fitch of Fitch Specialties when you need help with plumbing. He?ll certainly be the first one we call in the future.

I am pleased with the end product but what a nightmare it was to get there so please read the full review and then decide whether or not it is a fair one...
I want to first start with the positive...the work crew that showed up to do the work was spot on. They did great work, were extremely friendly, and cleaned the job site up very well.
Now for the negative...if there is is a weak link in the chain it is the owner/sales rep. His communication skills are just not there. If you are the type of person that does not mind being kept up to date or likes to have to chase down your contractor then LCOHR is for you because that is what you will be doing if you sign up. As a matter of fact they were supposed to come and finish turning on my irrigation system 3 weeks ago (because they only turned on half the first time??) and I am still waiting for that to happen...
Hear is the full story...
I called LCOHR in March to get on their schedule for sod install in the spring so I could beat the heat...long story short they didn't get to my job until mid June...mainly due to crazy weather and the sod farm had difficulty with the sod that I wanted...that in itself is understandable but you would think I would get a phone call at some point telling me this...nope...I had to consistently track them down for information and finally we had to go with another type of sod. The day finally comes where they show up to begin the work and all goes well until I come home from work around 4:30pm on a very humid day to find my sod sitting on pallets in the road an it had just rained on them. I call LCOHR and ask what is going on and they proceed to tell me that they have been sitting at another site waiting for the sod (not sure I believe that but give benefit of the doubt) and I explained that all the research that I had done stresses not to leave the sod overnight on the pallets and definitely don't let them get wet...well they did both and the result was the first set of pictures (before). almost have of the sod died off and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. The weekend had come and no phone call from LCOHR so again I had to chase them down to ensure they would be coming out that Monday to replace the bad sod...Long story short LCOHR did finally replace the dead spots but the pieces they used had a lot of weeds that come up in them which I had to hand pick out myself over the course of the last 3 weeks. I didn't bother to call and complain about that because at this point I am just over chasing them around. The funny thing is I was still going to give them another chance but finally the icing on the cake was I asked them to come back and turn on the rest of my irrigation system and they were going to charge me a $65 service call which I was fine with but guess what?? I have not heard or seen them in 3 weeks and the other half of my irrigation system is still not turned on.
Look at the after picture...as I said I am satisfied with the final result BUT because of the very poor communication I will not and would not recommend this company to a close friend.
If Lawn Care of Hampton Roads takes nothing else from this review...please either get on the ball with communicating with your customers or consider hiring a sales person that knows how to interact with and keep customers up to date."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/newport-news/pro-landscapes-by-chris-moore-reviews-1933282.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Atlantic Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"VA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Suzanne A."},"reviewBody":"Atlantic Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Inc put in a special system that heats our water and it does the air conditioning and the heating.

Something was wrong, I was smelling something but could not figure it out. The owner, Max came out and within 10 sec of looking at the system, he knew I had a cracked heat exchange and that I probably have had some carbon monoxide leaking. I explained that I had a home warranty plan but I knew through research that its best to replace the heat and air at the same time. What I like about Max is that he gives you options, even if he won't make a dime from it. Options were to let home warranty replace heat system and then later replace the entire system later. This was the cheapest solution. Or I could have home warranty come out and have the system replaced but receive the cashout value from the home warranty (something I didn't know I could do). Home warranty did send a company out and they confirmed the problem and also let me know I had high levels of carbon monoxide. They took info back to the company for them to make the decision. When the home warranty called me they told me that I would have to pay $700 to get my system back running. I was shocked, the whole reason to have the plan was to have no major out of pocket expense. I asked if they would consider replacing the entire system since it was recommended by industry. Of course answer was no but I asked them for the cashout value. They said it would be 2 business days until I could find out and I could also call the company they sent out to find out the cost to replace entire system but they would only pay for the heat portion. To me your central heat and air system is something you don't go cheap on. I wanted a good system with a great company doing the work. Because of the service they gave my mom a month ago, Maximum Air Inc. was the company I wanted to use. I called Max back and asked him to perform the work. It was going to take a week before they could schedule my home for work. It was going to be the same if the other company was going to do the work. Lucky for me it was very, very cold and I had space heaters that sustain my household. Installation day came and the team was on time. I was amazed at how they treated your home. They wore booties to ensure they did not carry in any mess into my home. A shelving unit needed to be taken down. Unlike most other companies, they removed the items from the shelf (instead of asking me) and neatly stored them in my garage. Work was finished about 6:30 pm. I was glad they worked late instead of coming back the next day. The entire area was put back together with it totally cleaned up. Max took the time to program my thermostat, asking me my preferences. He explained the system to me and told me to call or email with any concerns I might have. Something I think is special is that he constructed a cap for chimney portion that the last system used. It had been recently blocked off by another company but he felt it was not sufficient and installed a cap. I could go on but to sum it up. Max and his team of 2 were very professional and courteous. I wished they did other work like remodeling which I need to do in the future. I felt I was in the hands of the best. I highly recommend to all. I echo my mother's sentiment of this company and their employees, they are GREAT!

FAQs for heating oil service projects in Hampton, VA
To buy heating oil for your house, contact local heating oil companies to compare prices and place an order once you decide on a supplier. The company will have to deliver your heating oil in a truck designed to carry and dispense heating oil safely. Call and order your heating oil early enough to have your oil delivered before you need to start using it for home heating.
On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.
You save money on heating oil in a few ways:
Make sure your home is well insulated and sealed against drafts and heat leakage.
Use a thermostat that’s working properly and calibrated accurately.
Program your thermostat to lower the heat when you’re not home.
Order heating oil during the off-season when prices are likely to be lower.
Summer months tend to be when heating oil prices are lowest because of decreased demand. Buying heating oil during the off-season also prepares you for when the weather gets cold, and you need to start using the oil to heat your home. Although heating oil prices will fluctuate, it’s best to avoid purchasing between September and April, as that's the peak season for heating oil demand.
Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
