The technician who arrived was a different person. He arrived at approximately 9:30 AM and finished cleaning up and removing the old heater around 11:22 AM (under two hours on site). After the work was completed, I was presented with an invoice for over $800 based on 4 hours of "port-to-port" billing that had never been mentioned when the job was scheduled. When I questioned the extremely high bill, the technician first said it included an hour of travel time. I pointed out the company is about 20 minutes away. He then said the charge also included time loading his truck, even though I had purchased the water heater and he did not need to bring any major parts for the installation. While preparing the invoice, the technician spent about 15 minutes on the phone. I then personally called Charlie (the person I originally spoke with). During that conversation, Charlie stated a half hour port-to-port travel charge should apply, but no port-to-port billing had ever been disclosed when the job was scheduled. Charlie said he would call the technician. After that conversation, the technician returned with a revised invoice for 3.5 hours totaling over $600. Because I was quoted an hourly rate based on the time it took, I paid for two hours of labor based on the quoted hourly rate, even though the work itself took less than two hours. After mentioning the situation to a neighbor, they told me they had a similar experience with this company involving unexpected travel charges. If you consider using this company, make sure you get all pricing and billing policies in writing beforehand -- or better yet, save yourself the stress and money.

We needed a new one so Sal went and picked up a top quality Bradford White Defender System. Since he had pictures, he also picked up other supplies he needed and was ready for the job when he arrived- 4 hours later. Took him and his helper 2 1/2 hours to take out the old and install the new. What was really great about Sal was that he kept everything neat and organized. Very Professional! At the end it cost us $1800.

We recently had a furnace and water heater installed by Edwin Stipe and, based on this…read moreinstallation, I would never recommend them to anyone. Here's the story: Several years ago, Edwin Stipe replaced our A/C. We were happy with the install, and happy with the technicians who have been inspecting the unit as part of the service plan. This is why we chose Edwin Stipe for the furnace and water heater install. Tim Fleischood of Edwin Stipe came to our house and made recommendations for the work. It sounded reasonable, and based on past work, we went ahead with the job. One of the problems I had with the old furnace was the filter was located inside the furnace and it was always collapsing. Tim said no one installed the filter in the furnace anymore, and promised it would be on the outside in the ductwork. Installation day came. The workers were friendly and respectful of our property, donning booties to keep the floor clean as the brought equipment and tools in and out of the house. This is where the positives end. When the installation was complete, I discovered the filter was installed inside the furnace, just like Tim said it would NOT be. The workers said it would be OK and the filter would not collapse. I grudgingly said OK, and they left. When they left, they said someone would contact me for the permit inspections. The A/C was running and after a couple of hours I decided to check out the filter. I had to remove 4 or 5 sheet metal screws to access the filter (ridiculous!) and the filter was indeed collapsing. Looking at the installation, I noticed, among other things, the gas to the furnace was off. WTH? Clearly the furnace was never tested, and no one said anything about returning any time to turn on the gas or testing the furnace! There were also massive air leaks in the duct work where they had installed a transition piece for the new furnace. I contacted Tim, explained my frustration, and he said they would return. The same tech who did the installation returned (I hope he never returns again). He told me (believe it or not), it doesn't matter if there are air leaks because its in the house. What?? He had absolutely no answer as to why the gas was left off and asked if I wanted the furnace tested. Uh, yeah! The tech turned on the gas and ran the furnace for about 30 seconds. He cut a very jagged hole in the side of the ductwork, mutilated a filter because it didn't fit, and cut a piece of exhaust flue in half, straightened it out, and screwed it over the filter. I was livid! It was the worst hack job I've ever seen. I contacted Tim (yet again) and sent him a picture of what was done. He promised that someone would come out fix everything. A few days later, another installation team came out and installed a proper filter holder. They left and I thought all was good. After a month and a half, I contacted Edwin Stipe to ask if a permit was applied for, because no one had contacted me for an inspection. They said they had mailed the permit information to me and I would have to contact the township for the inspection. OK, but it would have been nice if they had told me that in the beginning! Well, today were the inspections, one for electrical, one for mechanical. The electrical inspector noted that the top of the 2 foot conduit was not supported and it should be. He said it was sloppy work and he would talk to the installer. He didn't fail it, since I said I'd support the conduit. The mechanical inspector noted that the exhaust for the water heater should have a minimum of 3 screws equally spaced at each exhaust joint. Of four joints, only one had enough screws holding it together. He gave me the option of him failing the inspection or I could add screws. I promised to add screws. As much as I would have wanted Edwin Stipe to return and complete the job to the point it could pass inspection, I really didn't want to schedule them to come out yet another time, and have to reschedule the inspection. Plus, I'm not really sure they would have done it correctly. So, zero communication, three visits to complete the installation, sloppy work, and an installation I had to complete in order to pass inspection. Would I recommend Edwin Stipe? Certainly not!
