Someone warned me not to use Steve's Plumbing but didn't say why; however since they were the ONLY…read moreplumber willing to take my call, I felt I had no choice in the matter. Nathan showed up and he was nice and went out of his way to try and get the thing working. This was just to be an appt for an "estimate" but he still tried his best to get this water heater working. No go, it needed all new insides in spite of being brand new. Which were under warranty and shipped to me the following week. He told me the next visit should be around $185. and I was fine with that. The next day I got an email from Steve's stating that the "next visit would be $382. for whatever reason they came back for." This was upsetting as I didn't think I was covered for "labor" under the mfgrs warranty and would have to pay it out of pocket and it was a financial hardship. Almost 80 and existing only on a very meagre SS income. Emailed Steve's to ask why it was so high; no one responded. Then someone emailed after that to ask "how the service went?" and I asked the same question again, about why the estimate almost doubled in price? And again I got no response! When a business ghosts you it's not a good sign. There is clearly room for improvement in the area of communications. I was ready to look for a different plumber when by sheer luck I met someone who knew the manager of their Kona office. This person talked to the manager and explained my situation; the next thing I knew was that Nathan called out of the blue and offered to come back over immediately and install the new parts to get the heater working. He came right over, did the work and didn't mention a thing about money. I was thrilled and willing to pay the $185. he had originally quoted me but he said "no, not necessary" and left!! In the meantime I had found out that I did have labor coverage on the water heater's warranty. I emailed Steve's and reminded them about labor being covered and asked them to please get their money from AO Smith, the manufacturer. I hope they did since they deserve to be paid for their time and work. I was not looking for free work! I would definitely use them again and I would also request Nathan if possible. I must have called at least 4 or 5 other plumbers and only one responded saying he was booked up for the next 6 weeks. Such is life in Hawaii. If I hadn't have met this person who knew the manager this might have been a completely different story...

It's always a worry when you desperately need service for something as essential as air…read moreconditioning for a rental property during a guests stay. Most A/C repair companies are too busy to sympathize with your situation and just coldly add you to the bottom of the list of service appointments. Rarely scheduled for the day you have called, causing further stress and cost, because now you have to offer refunds or discounts to suffering guests. NOT the situation with ACS! Understanding our predicament, a service tech was dispatched the day we called, a Friday. A special shout-out to U'ilani the dispatcher who repeatedly took my concerned phone calls. She could not have been more reassuring and calming. U'ilani is a customer service pro! Unfortunately, the service tech initially misdiagnosed the problem and the A/C failed again that evening. Frantically, I called the next morning, but now being the weekend, they were closed and I could only leave a message with their answering service - I thought for sure I would have to call again Monday morning. But, NO. Within a couple of hours I received a call from Shirley, ACS VP/Owner! And like U'ilani, actually was very sympathetic to our dilemma and promised to stand by their work and send someone out first thing Monday morning. And that's exactly what happened with an A/C happy ending. An understanding ear and merely a commitment to standing by your work is often the most assuring for a client in need. Thank you, ACS!

My Daikin Split AC Unit has been putting out bad smelling air for awhile and needs cleaning. I…read morecalled ACS a year ago and they said they would call me when they had time to do the cleaning but they NEVER called me back even after I called twice. I just called them again and all the lady did was interrogate me repeatedly asking which company installed it and why aren't I having THEM clean the Split unit etc. OMG, what does that have to do with ANYTHING? Are you doing business with the public or not? I don't enjoy disparaging previous contractors so I just choose to not do business with them again but the (unnamed here) Split AC installers did a terrible job which is why I didn't ask them to do the cleaning. They didn't want to put the AC unit where the previous unit was at then had to move the new unit again after they determined that it wouldn't work where they had tried to put it, Sheesh! Then they didn't fulfill the contract including failing to remove and dispense of the old Split AC unit which I had to get my grandson to help me remove, including other issues. I would NEVER hire them again after they bungled that installation. So WTH does that have to do with hiring ACS anyway? Don't worry, I won't be contacting ACS ever again!
