I recently moved out of Amesbury, but Ebacher maintained my oil furnace for over 10 years. From a…read moreservice perspective, they were always top notch, with relatively reasonable prices and good communication/timeliness whenever I needed them for an emergency. They got the job done without much fuss. Why only 3 stars, then? Well, because with Ebacher I would always get one of two technicians. One fellow, who we will call "The Tall Skinny Guy" was fantastic. I swear, my house could be on fire and he would find a day to swing by with the best attitude you could ask for. Always cheery, always willing to discuss my options for repairs and/or replacement, and just an extremely pleasant, professional guy to deal with. Every time I called Ebacher, I would think "I hope they send the tall skinny guy, because he's great." Unfortunately, more than half the time I got the fellow we will call "The Short Grouchy Guy". Again, another competent technician but this guy's attitude just sucks. I had an old oil furnace. It needed a few repairs here and there - a blower, a primary control, etc. All of these are about $200-250. My furnace was from 1981 - not new by any stretch, but it worked just fine and heated the house brilliantly and just required some upkeep. Every single time The Short Grouchy Guy would come to my house, he would tell me "your furnace needs a changeout". His recommendation on a $3000-5000 furnace swap when all I needed was a $200 part to get my heat up and running again got old quick, and he would say it every single time. Need a filter? Nah, due for a changeout. $100 ignition? Time for a changeout. Oil heat is expensive. Nobody likes having to call the plumber/heating guy, and generally they are unexpected expenses. When a guy shows up in an already gloomy mood, and he arrives in a 1991 Ford Econoline van with the exhaust hanging off and tells me that instead of a $100 part I should consider a $4000 new furnace, it gets a little old. His car is probably "due for a changeout" as well, but I see it didn't stop him from driving it, ya know? All in all a decent company to do business with, and while The Short Grouchy Guy will never be the bright spot of your day, the occasional times I would get The Tall Skinny Guy offset it. They get the job done and the prices are competitive. They just need to tell one of their techs to leave his gloomy, miserable attitude at home when he's dealing with customers, because if you're about to spend several hundred dollars on a heating repair, the last thing you want to deal with is The World's Most Unfriendly Technician. If you go with them, I hope you all get The Tall Skinny Guy, because that dude is awesome.

I think, with this company it may depend on who they send out to you. I was first in contact with…read morethem the 1st week in October. With every turn, the guy didn't seem to know the answers. When I would email him, it would take (sometimes) over a week for him to email me back. He always had excuses "I was on vacation" or "the guy who's in charge of that took some time off so I'm running behind," or "I was just about to call you on that issue" or "I just now got the answer to that and was about to you." OMG!!!! It is now about eight weeks since we first contacted them and NOTHING is done or will be done. I'M GOING TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE, SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSEL THIS COMPANY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE OR EVEN WORKING. Lastly, his written quote was 550.00 higher than his verbal quote. I can see a quote being off, a little, BUT $550.00!! RUN!

Water would drip slowly even when shower was off. Seabrook has extremely hard water. I could not get what I needed to replace out, let alone broke the handle off trying to get it off as well. Couldn't turn the water back on to my house because from what I had done, water was squirting out. So water shut off to house on a Friday evening. Called the big local companies to get someone out ASAP. Hard to live with no water at all. No one could get out until Monday. $1000 to get someone out from either of the companies as this was considered 24 hour emergency service Searched in Yelp and came across this company.

Brad came to the house to evaluate my needs and give me an estimate. He is very friendly, thorough and ensures that you understand everything. We gave him a deposit and then he ordered the equipment. We waited about a week and then a team of plumbers, electricians and mechanics converged (about 7 trucks in total) to my house. Everyone had a job and knew exactly what to do. They worked as a well rehearsed orchestra. About 6 hours later I had a new system that was explained to me fully. I was well pleased. If you have any doubts with Brad and his company it is my advice to just sign the contract. Do not over think it. They are great and I am very pleased.
