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...

After all they are the professionals so plenty of options to share! Katie who handles the office, scheduling, client questions...is absolutely awesome as well! We had an air conditioner that had been out of commission for awhile, we had used one contractor who did an expensive patch fix that did not last (it seems that he did not do a complete review of our system and had not fully assessed or even looked at the equipment in our attic) which was quite unfortunate and rather costly, to the contrary Desmond with Kona Air Conditioning took a really good look at the whole system and clearly explained the issue and initial options. They manage a crew of terrific air conditioning professionals that get the job done with minimal disruption to a household. Totally clean, taped off areas and used plastic and drop cloths. Did not even have to cut or expand access points. No excessively long wait times either once we decided to move forward with them. Warranties on service/labor, warranty on parts/new equipment, they handle product registration and any rebates from Hawai'i Energy. We could not be happier with them! To a person every one with their company has been 5 Star terrific, professional, respectful, informative, responsive, customer focused, and just very nice people to deal with even if your grumpy from being hot when your old AC fails. Thanks Kona Air Conditioning, we are going to refer our nearest and dearest to you...and any one reading this review!
