Last August, my tank broke. I got a quote over the phone from the owner which included the tank…read more After I spoke to him, I realized the tank's warranty was about to expire the end of the month. I called that company & was told to bring it to Home Depot for a partial credit. I called the owner right back to let him know. He actually asked me if I could drain it & bring it to Home Depot. I told him no I couldn't. He relented & stated that he'd need another guy to go help the one installing. On the day of, his installer told me that my current expansion tank was on the wrong side & would need to be removed, capped & placed on the correct side. This would be an additional charge & I agreed. I called the plumber who originally installed the expansion tank to inquire why he had done that, let him know it needed to be replaced & request compensation for this extra charge. When I told the current plumber who it was, he said that guy used to work with them & should have known better. When I told that installer that it is his former coworkers that pointed this out to me, he denied ever working there & wanted to come see the tank himself & fix it if it needed to be fixed. The current plumber asked if I could go with them to Home Depot to return it. I agreed, my credit was about $150 & I decided to upgrade my tank to a better one. I paid for the new tank myself. When we got back home the installer for the old expansion tank met us & started flipping out about how it was correct, even though the directions on the new tank (same one) said otherwise. He also suddenly remembered that he used to work for this company, became verbally abusive to the current workers, refused to honor my request for compensation & stormed out. Once everything was installed & I was given the bill, aside from the additional charge for the expansion tank, the price was the same even though I purchased the tank myself & Home Depot had the old one. I questioned this & the plumber had to speak to the owner...which he did outside in his vehicle & returned about 10-15mins later. He said the owner stated it was because they had to go to Home Depot to exchange the tanks & that was added time. I told him I didn't agree since I paid for the tank which should come off the bill, however I paid it in full. I called the owner & he restated what he told his employee & added that a second guy was needed to go exchange the tanks. I said we weren't gone no more than 35mins total. He says well no, usually it's only one guy, we would've brought our own tank & not have to leave to exchange yours. I said, but you knew that beforehand & didn't mention any extra charge. I said wouldn't you need 2 guys to get the tank out of my basement up the stairs & through the bulkhead anyways? He say it's because they also had to drain the tank. I said, don't you have to do that anyway? It was excuse after excuse. Then we discussed his former employee & I told him that I will have to file a complaint against his license since he improperly installed the expansion tank & refused to return the cost for this new install. The owner had the audacity to tell me that "he's known the installer for a long time & sometimes he works for him but he's a good guy, besides, the state won't do anything about it, you'd be wasting your time." I proceeded to tell him that I have had to report a contractor to the state for his shotty work & won my case. His reply, "well then go ahead then, but I wouldn't waste my time on that.". Then I asked when the inspector will come to check everything? He said he'll call them. After a few weeks of back & forth calls to Inspectional Services & the owner, come to find out he had never submitted the permit application & when he did, he didn't submit payment. Now I had to keep calling to request a refund for the permit fee since he wasn't doing his part & he kept dodging my calls. Finally he submitted a permit for a gas tank when mine was electric. His response was, "oh the installer chose the wrong one, it's fine, I'll fix it, when they come to look at it, they should know the difference". I also told him that I need to know when they are coming so I can be available. He says, oh any time, I was just with the inspector & he told me he was just there but no one was home. I said that is false, my vehicle is in the driveway & no one has come today! He replies, oh, I'll call him right now & tell him to call you. I asked if he can just give me the name & number & I can call myself. He never did & after numerous calls & 2 in person attempts, it took about 3-3.5mos for me to finally get the work "inspected" by the city. This owner reaps of dishonest practices & dodge calls once he's been paid. If you are charged for a permit, you better make darn certain, one is pulled because had I not persist, he would've just scammed me out of that fee. I would never use his company again if I was paid to!

Northborooil denied their responsibility and gave a repair quote which was higher than all the other hvacs. Another complaint is Northborooil didn't register bryant warranty for me. Btw, the Northborooil hvac technician was rude and kept blaming someone touched the line, nobody walked up and touched anything in the atic after the installation. While other hvac companies were courteous and subjective. Be careful to choose Northoborooil for your hvac job.

Stay away from this company. Getting involved with Taylor Heating and it's owner, Michael Taylor,…read morehas been one of the most regretful decision of my life. In October of 2016, Michael Taylor quoted me a price for a new furnace, baseboards and a hot water heater for a house we are renovating in Barre. I agreed to the price and he began what was supposed to be a four to six week job at my house. Almost immediately, he raised his price by $2,500. It was getting colder and I needed the job done, so I agreed to the higher price. He did part of the job, then I was forced to wait months for him to return. Why? Because, he claimed, during cold weather he needed to deal with service calls while my house remained unfinished. Finally, when warm weather came and he had nothing else to do, he showed up to 'complete' the job. In August of 2017, he told me that he had one more day of work to do before the job was done, but he needed to be paid in full in order to make payroll. We agreed that I would pay him and he would return to complete the job within five days. He left the house unsafe (uncovered buckets of old heating oil strewn throughout my basement), one room without heat and covers missing from baseboards in two rooms. He did not return for months. Since then, I have had to call another company twice to deal with issues that were expressly covered in my one-year warranty (I paid for one of those visits and he was billed by that company for the other). He returned to my house one time, but completed very little of the incomplete work. He even told me at one point that he could not deal with the issues at my house because he had a business to run. Michael Taylor promised that today, January 12, 2018, he would connect the baseboard in my pantry. This should have been months ago. He did not show up. He did not call and, obviously, he did not complete the work for which he has already been paid. When I sent him a text asking why, his reply was "Service calls." That's all. Not, "I'm sorry, I'll be back on this date." Not, "I'll come up and take care of it over the weekend." Not anything except, "Service calls." I sent another text asking when it would be completed because I wanted it done before it got cold again. It is now more than an hour since I sent that text and no reply had come from Michael Taylor. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! They will take your money and treat you as poorly as they have treated me.

I had high hopes for this plumbing company and Ryan Bottis who is the son of the owner…read more They installed the plumbing to my new house and afterwards I hired them for additional work. I was happy with their work in the beginning. However, when things started to go south with a mistake that they did with the water heater they were not willing to fix it and passed the blame to the propane provider for their mistake in installing the unit. The water heater was for an 80 year old and 75 year old and they were fine leaving them without water just because they didn't want to own their mistake. This shows that they don't care about owning their work or their customers. I will never hire them again for anything, and I hope whoever reads this review thinks twice before hiring this company.
