How many of us the best price for the time was to sell it if I hesitated people who were done do not worry, rough me with units and some transform three times done right?

NEGATIVE 20 stars. This company is the biggest rip off. I spent almost 2,000$ for them to assess my unit and tell me the blower needed to be replaced. The blower was replace; however, the problem was not solved so they came back and said I had to replace the whole unit (hvac & ac unit), which would be 6,000$. So I asked what about the 2,000$ I just spent on the old system. They said there was nothing they could do for me and they wouldn't have been able to tell that the entire system needed to be replaced had they not replaced the blower. Kellam mechanical proceeded to gaslight me, saying I didn't understand how hvacs work. Point blank - I don't need to understand how hvacs work because I understand how business works. And you don't charge someone thousands of dollars to then turn around and say that was for nothing and now we have to redo everything, and you can't get that moneyback. Not to mention they spoke to me and treated me completely different than how they treated my dad, who owns businesses in the area and uses them for his work. I want to say we were speaking to a Mike and he was a manager of some sorts.

"Thank you for receiving our manager’s phone call to address this issue. Our manager, Rick and your husband discussed repair cost of $1,733 including included motor, capacitor, diagnostic fee, leak search, surge protector and annual maintenance membership for your 9 your old system as well as the replacement system for $5,500 agreed up. We appreciate you receiving our offer to maintain your maintenance membership with a credit for that value of $252 due to some misinformation on diagnostic fees our 3rd party after hours agent delivered that caused some frustration. We were happy to resolve this complaint and look forward to providing future home comfort for you all. Wishing you a beautiful weekend."

We have been using Kellam Mechanical services for over 20 years. Recently , we had Kellam Mechanical come out to flush our hot water heater and to give us an estimate for replacement of sink faucets, tub faucets and new toilets. The representative from Kellam Mechanical was Ben Roberts. From the moment he introduced himself, we felt totally comfortable with his work ethics and his recommendations to the replacement of faucets and toilets. He was most thorough in explaining the flushing of the hot water heater and was most informative in explaining what type of faucets and toilets that he would recommend. Not only was he strait forward with his explanations, we felt a genuine concern from him to make sure our needs and desires were met. Ben Roberts was warm, friendly and information. Kellam Mechanical should be very proud to have Ben representing their company. It is employees like Ben that keep us loyal customers of Kellam Mechanical. A+++++

Water Heater Service
$620,000
One day before our home inspection in preparation for selling our house, our old water heater began leaking. My wife asked Kellam for a quote for replacing the direct vent heater with a similar system. They told her $2800 and we agreed to that price. When they arrived at the house, they said the price would actually be $6200 because we needed some sort of special system (despite the fact that the old system was a standard builder grade 50-gallon tank heater). With just hours left in the work day and not enough time to find another company to do the work, we agreed to it. We asked for an itemized invoice, which the installation tech said we would get from the managers. Now they are saying the managers are not at work and they only have “flat rate billing.” So they knew we were stuck and with no time to find another company before our inspection and they raised the price by 220%. Yes we agreed to it but it seems pretty clear that they knew we were in a tight spot and took advantage of us. I recommend avoiding them if you possibly can.
Response from

"Thank you for receiving our manager’s phone calls and emails over the past several days to address your concern. On 3/2/2023 we received a call from Mrs. [Member Name Removed] at 7:51am requesting an estimate to replace the water heater and were able to shift our schedule around to accommodate the need. Our technician was dispatched and arrived at your home by 9:17 am, surveyed the equipment, and was able to provide a quote within minutes of arriving. The first quote our technician provided was for an atmospheric gas water heater, not a standard water heater as you claim in your review. The water heater in need of replacing was in fact a direct vent gas water heater, which is a more expensive product. Our technician requoted the water heater for the correct price, presented the estimate to Mrs. [Member Name Removed], in which she accepted and signed off on at 9:45am based on our software timestamps. The correction was made under 30 minutes of arrival. This negates your statement of “With just hours left in the workday and not enough time to find another company to do the work, we agreed to it.” Kellam then dispatched more technicians to help with the job given the timing of the sale of your home and the home inspector arriving the next day. The 1st quote was human error, not an opportunity to take advantage of anyone. We regret you felt taken advantage of, but it seems there was pressure on your end with the timeline of your inspection and closing of your home. Kellam practices flat rate pricing to ensure each of our customers receive the consistent pricing for service and replacements. Our invoicing includes all materials, labor, code compliance and warranties. We value your feedback and wish you well with your move."

Kellam has impressed us in the past and continues to impress us with this project. Not only was the work high quality, they were on time, and this particular project required a good amount of carpentry to replace a fence area. Again, impressed with the whole project with special attention to the fencing work! The fence replacement work rivaled any professional fence installer! Of special note we John Owens and David Page who were here for both full days and saw the project to its full completion. Their oversight and the work of all of the installation teams members was great!

Excellent. Kellum has always had the best techs, and Timothy Vlahos was excellent. Very personable and professional, and he detected a problem with the capacitor on the HVAC that I would never have known. He was in and out very quickly, and he obviously cares about his customers. He was very thorough. Another shining star from Kellum!

I have just recently moved into the area (Sept 2020) and purchased an older home that needs lots of updating. Not having experience with any vendors in the area, I called Kellam based on a referral. When I bought the home it had an ancient hot water radiator, a tempermental incorrectly installed geothermal system, a water heater from 1991, and lots of Harry Homeowner electrical "fixes". I asked Kellam for an estimate to remove all the old systems, install new gas/AC systems and a tankless hot water heater and clean up the electrical issues. I received a price that was competitive and gave them the work. Kellam did an excellent job with all of the work that I gave them. All through the process, I felt that they were here to solve my problems with whatever it takes instead of maximizing their bottom line. I'm the kind of guy that asks a million questions and in every case the techs were very patient with me and explained all of my questions to my satisfaction. My HVAC system works great, my home is comfortable and I have plenty of hot water. My wife and I are very pleased. In addition to a great installation, one other thing that I want to point out is the way they took care of my electrical issues. Lots of companies don't want to handle jobs like that because they can be difficult to properly correct. Kellam did not hesitate and they not only fixed the issues that I had found but also some others that I didn't know about. In summary if you want a company who acts more like your very competent friend than a soulless vendor, Kellam is your company. The owner, Scott Kellam, actively manages the business, is an old school stand up honest guy and he trains his staff to be the same way. If you use them, I think that you will be pleased.

Fantastic! This is one amazing company, they do not ever disappoint! Their techs always give 100%, and today I had a planned replacement part installed by Gerald Kearney. He is so knowledgeable, he had excellent tips that will potentially save us thousands of dollars protecting our outdoor hvac system. He went above and beyond, and we are so grateful. We always have amazing service with Kellam!

I've worked with other HVAC companies in the 20 years I've lived in Hampton Roads. Kellam is the best I've worked with in this time. Their service workers are very competent, pleasant and always explain things well and answer all my many questions. They have good advice for problems that arise in my systems. Recently I had my seasonal service check. The most recent service engineer I had, Tim Baker was prompt (even on the 2nd visit when he was going to be delayed he called and explained when he would get here), pleasant and great at explaining options for the item I needed to fix. I'd highly recommend Kellam!

The installation of the gas line and the hot water heater went well. The problem is that no one knew how to solder joints and they left a mess that has required that I hire a professional plumber to come in and totally redo the pipes to and from the hot water heater. They were contracted to put in cut off valves, verbally on the inside of the house, but they used the valves in the heater as the point of the contract. The solderless joints they used CANNOT be home repaired. They put in a water filter that weighs 10-15 pounds suspended from the 3/4" pipes and not secured. In general, they do not have professional plumbers. If you use them, identify every part, corner, turn, connection, and inch you want because the work will look nothing like you imagined.
Response from

"Thank you for receiving our Operations Manager in your home last April to try to resolve your complaint following the installation. The propress technique has effective results and is a safer method than soldering. Although the job performance passed inspection by city code enforcement, we regret that we did not meet your satisfaction. We would be humbled for the opportunity to win your trust back."

Kellam Mechanical has amazing customer service and punctual response time. I called them on one of the hottest days yet this summer and a technician arrived within two hours. Other companies had told me it would be a week or more before they could come out! The technician was very professional and I was impressed by his knowledge and willingness to thoroughly explain the problem and repair process. I would highly recommend this company for all your HVAC needs!

Joe Baker was amazing, very friendly, professional, and helpful. My smoke detector went off because my heating unit had melted wires. They called me back in less than 30 minutes and was out by 930 am and able to replace my entire unit the next day! I called other places and they were not as responsive! I could not be more impressed with Joes friendliness and willingness to walk me through everything step by step as I was clueless. I can’t thank him enough for making sure my family was safe and warm!
