I don't know anything about their plumbing and HVAC. I used their electrical service in May of…read more2027. The goal was simple: remove the overhead line feeding the house 100A 220VAC residential service with a buried line (via conduit) to the pole including an upgrade to 200A service, connecting to an existing breaker panel. Entrance to the house is a straight shot through the back yard to the pole at the property line with my neighbor, about 110 foot in length. The original estimate was extraordinarily high compared to competitors, but was assured by reviews and the original estimator that Peterman would stand by their work. The "re-estimate" came in at $5000 higher and that should have been a red-flag. The re-estimator basically said the guy who originally estimated it was a dolt and you can't trust salesmen. I learned later, you can't trust Peterman. I'm in the trades, but retired, so I know what's right and what's wrong. The purely electrical part of it is fine, but the execution of the upgrade was an unmitigated disaster. Nothing is square, nothing is plumb, conduits are off plumb and not properly tied to the house. I spent hundreds replacing or repairing damaged ties straps, fencing, pavers, etc. The original estimator assured me they could push the conduit through under the pavers and fencing. That was their first lie. They ended up bringing in a mini backhoe with a 30" (!!!) wide bucket to dig for a 4" pipe. They obliterated my back yard, digging a massive pit, laying the pipe crooked, twisted and stressed in the bottom after weeks and weeks of delays. When they finally filled in the pit weeks later, it had already begun to collapse on both sides, distorting the conduit even further. When the "field manager" FINALLY showed up on the job (he never once showed up DURING the installation even after my repeated calls to Peterman that things were not going well), all the work except the backfill was done. Although I agreed not to publish his name, after all of this, I don't think he deserves any protection: Austin Hale. He PROMISED me that this fall they would send in a grading company to smooth and reseed the lawn. It is so rough and chaotic now that I've been unable to mow it and now it has 3' tall weeds that I'm sure the health department will be issuing me a citation soon. Will Peterman pay for that? Don't hold your breath. I contacted Peterman this morning to find out when this grading would be done and they informed me that it was not contracted and there would be an additional fee to do that. In other words, Austin bald-faced LIED to me. I would never ask these people back to my home ever again because they'd screw up the house and property even more and then claim that "catastrophic damage" to the property wasn't covered under the contract and it would be an additional $250,000 for that repair. Idiots. For electrical, never Peterman. Any suggestions to somebody moral would be welcomed. For plumbing, I recommended Williams Comfort Air ("Mr Plumber"). Maybe not as cheap as the schmoe down the street, but HONEST. For HVAC, Love HVAC (a small local company) is excellent, founded decades ago, will to go the extra mile and HONEST. Note who didn't get an HONEST rating? They come across, assaulting you with their toothy, goofy, doofy grins every morning during the local news, as if they have a "hometown" morality about them. They don't. They are greedy corporate cucks. They do crap work, refuse to communicate with you during installation and will gleefully screw you out of every dime possible.

For many years I have used another sewer company for cleaning our mains. Due to circumstances, I…read morewas forced to contact a new one. After several phone calls to others, I was referred to Eckelman's. After using their service, I have now signed them up to take over my sewer requests for the business I run. I have been more than happy with them. DeWayne the Service Tech for Eckelman's has been more than helpful on getting the issues resolved quickly and efficiently. He has been really good about reporting back to me the issue and even taking the time to explain what needs to be done to fix the problem. He also uncovered a big problem I had that should have been "fixed" by another sewer company. He immediately took care of it. I highly recommend them and plan on using them from here on out. The prices have been very reasonable! Homestead MHP - Columbus, IN

Richard and Robert came out the same day (within 2 hour time frame) I had called for service on a…read morenon-functioning septic pump. They pumped both tanks and replaced the non-working pump with a Little Giant-branded pump (good pumps by the way). Larry, the agent in the office explained why they didn't use a Zoller pump (used to be the gold-standard in pumps, but have had issues in recent years). The prior pump had lasted about 10 years and it was around $150 at the time. The new pump was $315, but what doesn't cost double what it did 10 years ago, so I don't believe I over-paid for it. They were both efficient, professional, and friendly (I like friendly). Anyway, the job was done correctly and efficiently, and both tanks were squeaky clean when they were finished. I hadn't compared pricing for the service, but my intuition says they were close in price to the competition. I would have Snyder's out again in a heartbeat. Great work, decent pricing, professional and friendly technicians. They should be on your short list if that type of service is ever needed. Thanks Richard, Larry, and Robert!

Pricing not transparent nor reasonable: We asked Lohmeyer…read morePlumbing to install a bath faucet and drain fixture for a stand-alone antique-style bath.   The original fixture failed and leaked. The plumber assigned to the job brought a helper to evaluate and quote the work. He also spent some time at the plumbing supply house determining if parts were available to fix the failed fixture. They determined that we would need a new fixture. My wife worked with the supply house and selected and purchased the fixture. Once we had the fixture in hand we received the quote for this installation.  I was dismayed to see the quote for the installation work was $3877.00! When I asked for more detail I was given a verbal summary of the additional materials for the work that seemed to amounted to less than $50. We notified Lohmeyer that we intended to reject their proposal. I contacted another reputable local plumber and received a quote for about  $400 for installation. I accepted the quote, and the work was completed quickly and to my satisfaction. The plumber and his helper spent less than 2 hours to complete the work. We then received a bill for $595 for the service rendered. Note that they charge much more to quote this job than a reputable plumber charged us to complete the job. If you work with Lohmeyer I recommend getting a firm quote before they start the work. Then again, I would not recommend trying to do this as I think it will be a waste of your time.
