I am a repeat customer and was told there was nothing else that could be offered to me. I Paid for a full inspection 2023 or 2024 and the year before had an inspection as well. I was told it's not needed every year unless there are problems. But their policy now is of such if they touch my insert, even removing the glass to hit a reset button for the remote they would have to do a full inspection. So total Cost would be close to $600.00 when all that is needed is a remote. I did find a company to Come and handle the remote only but I would have rather stayed with Fireplace Tech. Disappointed

I'm going to recommend Edward to my neighbor. Thank you Edward for making it right! Gracias! 6/17 Update: We got a professional solar panel cleaner in this morning who took many photos of our roof. Even though Edward said he would clean the solar panels and remove the pigeon poop around the solar panels, there are obvious heavy droppings all around the solar panels that he did not remove and the solar panels were untouched. Basically we only got half of what was promised to us and we even tipped him. Very sad. I'm going to hire the same person from East Bay Solar Cleaning to also clean my roof since Edward didn't remove the pigeon poop.

He debunked every single thing the previous business claimed, showing me each item and why it was a non- issue. He's a no nonsense, salt of the earth guy, he does a great job, he cleans up, and he's very affordable. But where he really knocked it out of the park was installing a wood stove. After a few years of open fires, we came around to the efficiency of a wood stove. Bill sold us a great stove, and installed it in one morning. I was there every step of the way ( I'm a very hands on person and love to learn how things are done ) and was beyond satisfied with his work. The furnace hasn't kicked on once since the install, take THAT PG&E! He's the ONLY one I would recommend!

One big tip skip the promo emails. The deals you get by contacting them directly are much better than what's advertised in those marketing blasts. Booking and pricing experience Communication was easy and transparent. No aggressive upselling, no pressure to add unnecessary services. They also offer solid incentives if you schedule on a weekend and are flexible with payment options, which I appreciated. Service experience The crew showed up on time and finished everything efficiently in about two hours. They did not show up with flashy uniforms or branded trucks, but honestly that mattered far less than the quality of the work. They clearly knew what they were doing and moved with purpose. They went the extra mile by pulling out the dryer and cleaning it thoroughly from the inside, not just the vent line. Bathroom exhaust fans were cleaned properly as well, which is something a lot of companies rush through. Results This is a relatively newer house so there wasn't a ton of buildup, but the work was done cleanly and professionally. No mess left behind and no shortcuts taken. Final verdict If you want honest work, fair pricing, and zero sales nonsense, Duct Pros is an easy recommendation. I would book them again without hesitation.

Juan came with the sales pitch (i:e: if you agree to go with us now, we'll give you a discount...but only if you decide RIGHT now). I had to sit through a binder presentation and he told me I needed a new furnace to go with my air conditioner unit because the A/C condenser and furnace have to pair up for operational purposes and they won't replace one unit only if they are both more than 8 yrs old. He showed me some scary pictures of his furnace "inspection" and said my furnace was a fire risk, had evidence of decomposition and potential CO exposure and in the "interest of safety", he recommended a full system upgrade. The pictures were legit bad and concerning, but the funny thing is, the pictures he showed me were not the inside of my furnace. I had 4 other local vendors come after him and all of them showed me photos of inside my unit. Guess what? Their pics all matched each others and none matched Juan's pictures. Weird right? The other 4 local vendors inspected my furnace and all of them noticed the refurb of all the major components I had done 5 years ago. All said that no furnace replacement was indicated and my furnace was in great shape with many high functioning years left. Weird right? I intentionally never offered that info up to any vendor before the inspection as a secret test to see who would be an honest tradesman and who would not. See a pattern here folks? Juan's quotes came in at $17,500 for an electrical system (a/c and furnace) and $18,046 for a gas system (a/c and furnace), because you know...can't just replace the AC unit in his world. All other vendors (who have higher/better reviews on Yelp btw) came in between $8-10k for a new a/c unit. Again, all said no need for a new furnace. So, i'm counting my lucky stars I wasn't duped. Going with someone else and getting my new A/C unit installed tommorow

The tech also asked for cash, which felt odd. When I pushed back on the diagnostic credit, the numbers didn't add up. To their credit, the company responded and offered a $50-60 credit, but given three other companies quoted the same repair at $450-$650 all-in, it's hard not to feel overcharged. Decent communication, but the pricing transparency needs serious work.

I had used Letts Plumbing in the past but had completely forgotten about them until I asked a friend at Standard Plumbing for a recommendation after receiving several installation bids. He immediately told me to call Letts Plumbing. Mary promptly returned my call and scheduled someone to come out the very next day. The plumber who arrived was extremely experienced and had installed many of these systems before. He quickly modified the drain connection without any issues and completed the installation efficiently and professionally. What really stood out to me was not only their expertise, but also how friendly, respectful, and professional everyone was -- from the office staff to the plumber himself. On top of that, their pricing was significantly better than the other bids I received, which saved me a considerable amount of money. Letts Plumbing has absolutely earned our trust, and they will be our go-to plumber from now on.

I get not being able to reuse the sections connected to the old valves but there was some that could have been reused, or left for our recycling. Not a huge deal, just seemed odd that he mentioned keeping it for their future use. We'll still use Letts and recommend them to friends. They're very prompt. The work is done well. And the job sites are left clean.
