    It is the kind of news that makes you sick to your stomach: you need an entirely new HVAC system…read more Heating AND air. This is the news I got from Eddie Hughes (and two other HVAC companies). We chose to use Hughes because when Eddie came to the house to give the estimate, he quickly and expertly diagnosed (and explained) the issues in terms that my husband and I could understand. He also answered multiple phone calls as we had a lot of questions. Part of the plan was to add a large basement return which entailed cutting through drywall (you can imagine how messy that is) into a wall in our finished basement. The new return is there but you would never know it was installed that day! Matt and Steve didn't leave one speck of drywall or dust (amazingly). I can't say enough about Hughes Mechanical and the great, honest work that they do. Do yourself a favor and use this company.

    I hired Hughes to replace an AC unit at one of my rental properties in Baltimore. I had previously…read moreused them for other smaller jobs and was overall pleased with their service. One of their technicians came out to inspect and service my three apartments, and he recommended replacing one of the units that was an older model and not functioning as well. He connected me with Jason (one of the owners), who gave me a quote, and I agreed to move forward with it. The technician who came out to replace the unit didn't seem as experienced, but he was very polite and professional. He kept the job site clean and communicated with me often. A few hours after the job had been completed, at 11:30 at night, I got a call from my tenant mentioning that the house reeked of gas. I called the technician and texted another, but no one answered. So I went on their website, which says "Emergency Services Available," and tried to call the mainline, but no one answered. Eventually, I was transferred to a call center that said "all of our technicians are busy helping other clients" and that they would call me back in 2 minutes. No one did! So we called the fire department, which came out and identified the source of the problem. Hughes used an old existing gas hose to connect the gas line to the new system. That hose was not compatible to the new AC, so it leaked gas. As a result, the fire department shut off the units and the gas supply to the house. Hughes came back the following morning to replace the hose and fix the problem. When we turned the gas back on to the house, my hot water heater which is fairly new and had been working perfectly fine, wouldn't operate. The pilot light was not coming on, and Hughes sent two of their technicians to look at it. They mentioned that the gas valve to the hot water heater was no longer working and that they had to replace the part. The plumbing supply company was about to close, so the technicians said they would be back in the morning with the new part to replace it for me. The next morning I get a call from the owner, Jason, saying that the part wouldn't be available for at least two days and he wanted to charge me $600 for the job. He actually tried talking me into replacing the entire hot water heater ($2,400 and offered to give 10% off). It turned out that my hot water heater was still under warranty, so I called the manufacturer, who shipped out the part at no cost and hired another plumber to install it for a fraction of what Hughes was quoting me. Their website says, "Educate, Not Sell." It sure didn't feel like that. Hughes fixed a problem and created another. The least they could have done was offer to fix my hot water heater after all they put me through. I'm sorry to say the experience overall was frustrating, time-consuming, and generally disappointing, as I no longer feel I can rely on/trust them with this important work. I wish the outcome had been different.

    Total Con - Do not Use! I had them service my unit said the heater coil was broken and I needed a…read morenew system. $17000.00 bill. I used AI put what they gave me in that and it said Highly Suspicious. So another company came out. Said they had no picture no details they never even looked at the unit the seals were not even broken indicating someone looked. Said the unit was fine and charged $250 - my opinion is they say an old lady and thought let's steel her money.

    Frustrating Experience: Pushy Sales, Price Hikes, and Sloppy Work…read more If you're considering Reliable Home Services, I strongly recommend asking a lot of questions--and double-checking any work they perform before the 30 day warranty is up. If you'd like more details or want to see photo evidence of what was (or wasn't) done, feel free to check the attached images or DM me directly. I'm more than happy to share so others can make an informed decision. My issues started with Rob, the dispatcher. I had previously used the company for a full system refresh and even left a 5-star review, so I expected a similar experience. This time, I called about replacing a pump that had already been diagnosed, but I had delayed service due to financial timing. When I called back to schedule, Rob gave me a hard push for their $2,200 "Platinum" service, even though much of that work had already been done a year prior. When I questioned the need for it, his response was basically, "It's up to the customer to decide." The whole conversation felt more like a used car sales call than home repair. What really crossed the line, though, was when Rob said he would note in their system that I was being "argumentative"--and that everyone would see those notes. That was uncalled for, especially considering I was just asking questions about pricing and service relevance. Unfortunately, things got worse when the technician arrived. The first thing he said to me--before even assessing the job--was that the owners didn't want to do it. No explanation, just a strange and inappropriate comment that instantly made the whole situation feel tense and uncomfortable. Then came the pricing issue. I was originally quoted $650 in May 2025, but when the tech showed up in July, the quote had jumped to $800. When I questioned the $150 increase, I was first told it was due to rising parts costs. Then, the explanation changed: due to how AC units are manufactured, now the company recommends full replacements over repairs, even though only my pump was broken. It felt like an obvious upsell tactic. When I asked the technician to call the office to check if the original quote could still be honored, he flat-out refused. He told me I could "take it or leave it." No effort to make a simple phone call. No interest in advocating for the customer--just dismissiveness and attitude. Despite all of this, I agreed to move forward with the service because I needed the pump replaced. But due to the overall tone and behavior, I didn't trust the quality of the work. So I inspected the installation myself afterward--and I'm glad I did. The pump was missing a critical clamp, clearly shown in the product's instruction manual. Without it, the system will likely leak again. So i'll just go and buy the clamp and fix it myself. (See attached photos.) At the end of the day and to the technician's credit, he did apologize for how the interaction started, and the job ended on a more cordial note. But that doesn't erase the pushy sales tactics, the unprofessional tone, or the incomplete work. Reliable Home Services is not what it used to be. I won't be using them again--and if you do, proceed with caution. Ask questions, read the fine print, and check the work yourself within the 30 day warranty.
