    Well, they are back to fix a repair that should have been fixed initially if the parts were in their warehouse. The sprayer is a Delta brand which is supposed to be reparable. Since Delta is the brand for most medium and high end hardware, I am hoping this will take care of the leaky sink sprayer. My real concern is when one pays over $1600 dollars, you want all new items to work--it's too bad consumers have to cross their fingers and hope they do not have to experience defective parts from the manufacturer. Yet, I do not know who is responsible for the quality control as we move forward. I did purchase a warranty agreement and hope when I call that I get better quality service with a guarantee that there will be no second recall due to a defective part.

    Option sheet for repair/replacement

    Glad I didn't get ripped off. They did some work on my AC earlier this summer, price was a little high, but I expected that since they got out there so quick and took care of it. 3 months later my furnace blower motor is not kicking on. Call them out and they tell me the motor and ecm module needed to be replaced... and if I was doing that too I should consider it might need a new control board. Option 1 for the new motor and ecm was $3480 (no warranty) Option 2 for the motor/ecm/control board was $5100. Option 3 was a new system $6k-$20k. I told them that I needed some time to process, and that I would reach out to them later that evening. Jake the technician insisted that I call my wife to make a decision immediately and that I shouldn't even bother to repair it but purchase an entirely new system and they would have a designer call me later. 90% of the experience was jake trying to push me towards buying a new system, insisting that I should not repair it because it's not worth repairing. A colleague gave me the contact for a HVAC technician that came out and checked out my system. The HVAC tech that then came out suggested that I only needed the ECM and that blower motor was fine. I was able to find the OEM ECM module that ended up being dropshipped directly from the manufacturer. We tested the motor and it was up to spec. Total cost $352 with overnight shipping. I popped the cover off of my unit and installed the ECM module in less than 30 minutes. I'm not sure how they come up with their pricing, but it is an absolute rip off. Almost $3500 to do repair that would cost them less than $300 in parts in less than one hour in technician labor It seems to me like they don't want to do service calls. They only want to do new installs.

    Fake review by the owner that he has since deleted.

    See attached photos of the owners fake review. Probably has a bunch of fake ones on google as well. Right Bobby, I'm sure Yelp posted a "demo review" directly from your OWN account and had you respond to it. Pretty sure they have a their own test account for this. Nice try though. The only reason it was removed because I pointed out your dumb error. I'm glad you have 1600+ reviews on Google and none from employees! Based on this I deduced that - 1. Your employees are smart enough to not use their own name to write a review, something you should have them teach you. 2. You must have your family hard at work publishing your reviews. Your company makes a living based on hyper inflated prices to rip off people who don't do their research so fake reviews are probably the norm for you.

    We wanted to add to our initial review. We also have the gold service plan. I usually think those…read moreare a scam, but we have been so grateful we have it. They take great care of the HVAC system and they have been there for us when other things came up. Today we tried get a new refrigerator installed and there was a plumbing issue. They got their plumber there and solved the problem within an hour. We know we got lucky that he was available right then, but we always feel like they have our back!

    Signed up for their maintenance plan last fall. They checked my furnace, all good. This spring I…read morescheduled a maintenance call for my air conditioner. I told the repairman that I had turned it on once and I had no cooling. He checked inside, no problem. Went outside, took the cover off surrounding the air conditioner and immediately could see the problem. My dog had urinated on the corner repeatedly which ate away at everything and corroded the pipes that hold the refrigerant. He said he had to order the parts and it would be $3000 to fix. After 8 days I called and was scheduled for the repair. I never received a written estimate for the repair. Was never told the maintenance call was now a diagnostic call or that I would be charged. Never received a bill for this either. The repairman said it could take up to 4 hours to get it fixed. It took 2.5 hours. I paid and asked for a receipt, was told it would be emailed to me. After 4 days, I called as I had not gotten my receipt. It was promptly sent over. I was charged for 4 hours of work when it only took him 2.5 hours. I immediately called back and explained the overcharge. I was put on hold for over 15 minutes. Then I was told yes, the repair took 2.5 hours, but the additional time charged was from the earlier maintenance calll. I said that was already paid for as I was on their plan. Was told no, since it turned out to be a diagnostic call, not a maintenance call, I was being charged. I said he didnt diagnose anything, once the cover was taken off it was obvious what the problem was. She doubled down on her explanation. I had never been told this, never received a bill for this. I feel i was overcharged for the repair and they were simply making an excuse for the overcharge. I promptly cancelled any further maintenance from this company and will never use them again. ​
