He then had trouble getting indoors, as he is very, very overweight, and had to sit down while examining my kitchen range. He kept admonishing me to "Praise God" for everything, and screamed at the news on my tv, telling me that the Pope "knew nothing about the Bible," and that he, Elliot, was "not descended from apes." I told him I was not religious and didn't care, so he decided to yell at me, instead, because I couldn't see over the range to view what he was pointing at (I'm very short). He then switched to watching videos on his phone, while waiting for a price on what he felt would be the necessary parts. To shorten a long story, the price was high, and I simply didn't want Elliot back in my home, so I paid him for the visit and bought a new range.

The job was supposed to take one day but his ladder wasn't tall enough & ground wet so he came back to finish. After that he said if the birds come back, call him and he'll fix it. Attached is a list of times he was a no call/no show until I reached out to him. I was very patient. Him & his secretary started lying about different aspects of the situation and then stopped replying to me all-together. I said I just wanted it fixed since $580 is a huge amount of money for me but the solutions up until then didn't work so I gave in to paying to get it fixed. None of his excuses make sense - he even said I need an exterminator which is irrelevant. He said he didn't show because it was raining but that only accounted for a few of the times, not the entire list shown below. Then he said he didn't work on holidays after he told me he would come on Columbus day & that the holiday was not a problem; that morning he said he forgot he had to watch his kids and he would be here in the afternoon - of course, he never showed up. This is a property services company that doesn't keep its word, doesn't care about finishing the job they started and has absolutely horrible customer service. No empathy for the disabled. I just wanted the job done so I said I didn't want to have to contact BBB/ leave a yelp review - I gave him notice so it could be resolved amicably - instead he said if I threatened him, he would not come back. In no way is alerting him a threat! It was an olive branch. Him and his secretary kept saying they would schedule time to come out and never did. Despicable people. He also said he would drop off the invoice copy to my home and never did. I have a photo but he did not do all the work originally listed so the $780 isn't correct but also NOT not a discount. Now I need to pay someone else to fix it. During recovery from 3 major neuro surgeries, this stress/deception is the last thing I need. Stay far away from them.

I had a pipe burst in my garage, loop in my heating system, no heat in below freezing weather. My oil company was no help, called Chanowitz and they sent Chris who was a godsend. First they came an hour later as they recognized the emergency, Chris replaced the pipe and then noticed a problem getting water back into the boiler and replaced a defective water feeder to the boiler and then went the extra 10 yards and while checking all the radiators to make sure they got hot found a problem with one of the valves that was preventing the bedroom radiators from getting heat and now he has our entire house toasty and better than before the water break. Chris was the most thoughtful and thorough person I have ever had working on our home and the price was super reasonable. Chanowitz is on our speed dial from now on. read more

Woke up this morning to our furnace not working and it being 55 in our house. Called Chanowitz Family Plumbing and was directed to call Mike's cell. Called and he answered right away and said he would be there within 2 hours. 1 hour later Mike showed up!!! Thats fantastic for a weekend!!! So responsive. It ended up being a simple fix, as the emergency switch on the way to the basement had been accidently shut off (damn kids!). While looking at the furnace Mike noticed a part that had been leaking. Changed it quickly and did a little more maintenance on the furnace. I highly reccomend Chanowitz Family Plumbing! Honest, quick response and a pleasure to have done business with. Well done Chanowitz Family Plumbing!!! read more

I've been using CPH for years, and their craftsmanship has consistently been top notch. Mike and crew make my furnace purr! On or about the second week in January 25 I had a fuel drop. Almost immediately my furnace began to misfire. I did not know NYS had changed the quality of the fuel. The Wednesday after the fuel drop the furnace failed. I did what I could to keep it running, a couple of simple things, filters/screen/nozzle. Got it running but not great. Called Mike, and after a long brutal workday, Mike came over at NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT to check my furnace, before the snow and cold snap. My house is warm, then offered suggestions to adapt to NYS new fuel. MY furnace is purring again. I can't thank Mike an CPH enough! read more

I have found it necessary to call Chanowitz Family Plumbing on 3 different occasions in the past year. Each time i spoke with Mike Chanowitz and he was able to schedule my service for either later in the day or the next day. The first time i met Jake who is the youngest of the employees. He fixed my toilet issues in record time and was a very professional and personable young man. The other two times i saw Chris who explained each situation thoroughly and not only fixed the problems but was delightful to talk to. Their rates are reasonable and all in all, the service is excellent. I wont call anyone else!! read more

Called MIKE for a estimate on a boiler he returned call same day. When he came out to see what I wanted he was prompt even 15 minutes early which I liked. We talked about what's out there in boilers and combi units and I decided on a Weil McClain boiler he worked out a estimate which got back to me in less then a week and I decided to go with him . He installed boiler on Oct 9 and I also had a toilet installed. MIKE is a professional businessman and knows what he is doing his helper was also professional .

Right from the beginning the truck came. It seemed like all young kids. I was worried but they were fast. They were efficient and they were very professional. I was very satisfied with the work they did. Especially the leading installer Rico. He was very knowledgeable about what was going on. He was on top of everything. He was very informative as they were doing the job and I felt very secure with his work. I love them so far of course winners almost over but I have a feeling it's gonna be awesome.

I can't recommend Mike Chanowitz enough! On a Sunday, he returned my call within the hour and came the same day. I was very impressed by the tech equipment he has on hand to get to the "root" of my problem....which was roots growing / clogging my pipe. He was determined and was able to get me "going" again! I was so relieved in more ways than one. :) Mike is very professional and honest. This is someone you can trust to get the job done. Thanks Mike! read more
