I'm a retired…read moreengineer having worked my 36 years in the HVAC field and believe in giving credit where it is due. We couldn't be more pleased with the service we received from Advantage Mechanical in the installation of our heat pump/furnace system. JR is highly skilled and qualified in all aspects of the HVAC trade. He was able to remove our old system and install the new one in one day. The attention to detail was outstanding with no corners cut in the installation. Ductwork was fabricated and precisely fit to adapt the new furnace/air handler, and carefully sealed at all the joints. The refrigerant system lines were purged and cleaned with a solvent prior to a full deep vacuum being drawn prior to final charge. Once the system was running all adjustments were made to both gas pressure to the furnace and blower speeds for the air handler fan. They placed a runner to the outside to keep from tracking dirt inside the house, another attention to detail. They're pricing was also very competitive. They are run in an "old school" manner placing quality and ethical service first. We highly recommend Advantage Mechanical for any HVAC related work.

Probably the worst customer service I've experienced. They don't answer or return calls. I was…read morestuck with them due to my home warranty. Allegedly they have to order a part but the part is coming from Baltimore which means my system should be fixed soon right? Wrong. After having tried to contact them for 3 days straight while having NO air condition in the middle of this QUARANTINED PANDEMIC of a summer, they EVENTUALLY came to check out my unit on a Friday and stayed all of 5 minutes. (After I had to give personal information regarding the health of my asthmatic child). I have received no call or update yet about anything and the house is more than unbearable. If you have a choice - stay FAR away from them. I'm surprised they have any amount of stars over just 1.

So my drain decided to throw a tantrum, and my first plumber quoted me $350 just to snake it. Enter…read moreBoothe's Heating, Plumbing & Electric, who swooped in with their "83 or Free" special -- and didn't charge me a dime for the initial visit. Yup, free. Before every appointment, they send a text with the tech's name, photo, and even a little bio including their hobbies. It's like getting a match on a dating app, only this time the person actually shows up and fixes the problem instead of ghosting you. The first visit didn't clear the clog, but the next day another technician came out and patiently explained everything. Both were courteous, on time, and really knew their stuff. And while Yelp loves photos, trust me -- nobody wants to see what was blocking my drain. That's a whole different genre. Bottom line: Boothe's brings personality and professionalism to plumbing. They made an unpleasant situation downright educational and pleasant -- and that's a rare gift.

Both systems were functioning just fine, EXCEPT for some reason after the technician left the Honeywell Provison Series 8000 thermostat started to malfunction. The next day it just went blank. (Hmmm.....coincidence or causation?....just saying) The technician came back and said the thermostat was defective and he could change it out then and there as he had one ($590) in his truck. I figured it was under warranty so why not and the technician said I would "get my money back, well most of it". RED FLAG - I should have asked for an explanation. So my card was charged for $590. The office just called and said they credited back to my card $343! and they pocketed $247!! (for "shipping and labor"). So be wary and very careful if you have hired them, but if you are not locked into a Maintenance Agreement I suggest you call another HVAC company.

I initially thought about taking off a star because John arrived outside of my appointment window,…read morea pet peeve of mine, but then I remembered a few things: he came on a Sunday, on less than a day's notice, Arlington is very far from Upper Marlboro, the appointment before me went over, which can happen to anyone, and most importantly, small businesses are the backbone of America. John was very polite and immediately told me my HVAC closet smelled because a mouse died in there. He also called a relative while at my place and on the way home to give me their suggestions on dealing with the smell, which has nothing to do with HVAC and is above and beyond in my opinion. Yes, I did have to pay the $100 fee to come out. I paid in cash to not have to pay the 10% processing fee. I was fine with paying this to have someone come out so quickly, and on a Sunday. Would call again. When my problem actually involves HVAC repair.

A couple years later, I was adding a cold air return from our master bathroom, and I needed some duct pieces. I called them up and they fabricated the necessary pieces while I was standing there. I have had terrible service from Southern Maryland Heating and Air, and had to fix nearly everything they touched, but Winters technicians are sharp and they do great work. Do yourself a favor and have Winters do it right the first time. Highly recommend!
