I scheduled a service call for a boiler issue that was causing a loss of hot water. The tech came…read moreout, reset a button on the boiler, and left without identifying the underlying cause of the problem. The technician's only action was to reset a button on the boiler. No root cause was identified, no diagnosis was provided, and the exact same problem returned shortly after the tech left. I called back immediately and only receptionist would speak to me and said nothing could be done as it was the weekend and no management was available....UNACCEPTABLE. As a result, my household was left without hot water for the entire weekend! What is MOST frustrating is they charge a non-refundable diagnostic/scheduling fee and state that the purpose of the visit is to inspect, diagnose, and provide solutions. I expected a professional diagnosis and repair, not a temporary reset that failed almost immediately!

I'll start with the good:…read more 1. Techs are always friendly and courteous 2. Customer service phone service is always great 3. They generally do an okay job with the maintenance Now for the not-so-great... 1. They will absolutely fleece you on anything your purchase. Their flat rates are roughly 1.5-2.5x higher than most other competitors, and if you compare quotes with smaller, local companies, it can be on the higher end of 2.5x or more expensive. For example, I received a quote for a tanked water heater for $5900 and $8900 for a tankless. I shopped quotes and found the average for tankless was ~$3000 and tankless was ~$4500. I confronted them on the asinine price, and they bumped it down to $4500 and $8300, respectively. The same goes for a fix for the furnace. I was quoted ~$1000 for a part that was under warranty (and not the actual fix). I shopped around and found that the proposed fix averaged $300-750, but the actual fix was ~$100. 2. There are no itemized breakdowns of parts, labor, or items that you are quoted for or purchasing. 3. They are sales-first. They'll get you and you'll think you won't have another option. Their techs or service managers will attempt to upsell you on repairs you may or may not need 4. I'd say there's about a 50% chance that they'll cancel or reschedule your maintenance visit that you scheduled, and you won't find out until you hit your scheduled maintenance window for service 5. I found that they didn't perform combustion tests on my furnace or vacuum out any of the hoses/condenser ports. I only knew after I had someone come compare quotes on the suggested repair 6. I found that their suggested repair wasn't actually what the issue was, and that the actual fix was much cheaper than what they wanted to do I wouldn't recommend their actual job services and would highly recommend shopping around. Their prices are far from transparent and they have no qualms about fleecing their customers. Their maintenance package ($50/month) is okay, but I found other maintenance packages for $20-$30/month. You can search reddit or other forums for what people have to say, but my experience seems to harmonize with what others have said. Other companies and contractors also seem to cringe when you mention their name, which is generally not a great feeling.

UPDATE: After months of trouble with our previous oil company, GEM initially felt like a huge step…read moreup. Harrison came out expecting to be working on a gas system despite us telling the dispatcher we have an oil system. He and made a real effort to help us. But we were expecting him to give a quote and instead handled most of the major issues the same day. Or so we thought... His initial repair ultimately took three more separate visits to get right. The issues we ran into after the first visit could have been avoided if the initial work had been completed correctly, but I appreciate that GEM honored their warranty and kept coming back without charging us extra. The final technician, Steven, was the one who fully resolved everything. He corrected the earlier mistakes, updated the piping, bled the system properly, and fixed problems that had been building for years, even parts that weren't effected by the initial repair were replaced to ensure efficiency and to avoid further damage to the system. Our heat now works better than it ever has, and Steven genuinely deserves five stars. Because of the multiple visits and avoidable setbacks, I can't give the company a full five stars, but I'm grateful for the Steven seeing it through!

I had been looking for an honest, reasonably priced HVAC guy since last year as I wanted to replace…read moremy very old HVAC system. I know what this job should cost having had it done at another house I own but the quotes I was receiving were pretty outrageous to be honest, so I kind of gave up looking for a while. Posted the project again on Yelp in the spring and M Heller replied asking for a discussion. After we talked I received a very reasonable quote - much more in line with what I expected. I did my due diligence in terms of exploring the company's background and was completely satisfied. Long story short, if you need plumbing or HVAC work do not hesitate reach out to M (Matt) Heller. He took out an antiquated system and installed a state of the art replacement and it's working great. Anything I requested he acknowledged and accommodated without debate or up charge - he honored the original quote. If you ever need plumbing or HVAC system work, do not hesitate to call on M Heller. You won't be disappointed. His operation is great and he will be doing all my plumbing and HVAC work from here on out.

I would suggest them if you need someone quickly, but it might cost you a little bit more.
