A layer of dirt/grime, moths, media strewn about, a dirty burner, and a dirty pilot mechanism
Aaron B.

We have used The Gas Connection twice (once to install a gas line for a backyard fire pit and once to service our fireplace). We were pleased with the gas line installation; this review and rating is for the fireplace service, which is unfortunately a poorer story. We reached out to TGC because our fireplace flame would suddenly go out (even in normal weather conditions) - we could always seem to reignite the flame, but after a few minutes, it would go out again. The service manager came out, replaced a burnt-out component of our electronic igniter mechanism, appeared to clean the unit, and tested - all looked well. Two days later, we noticed that when turned on, the fireplace had a delayed ignition: enough gas was released before ignition that the resulting initial flame was quite large (larger than we had ever seen). The size of this flame increased with each ignition until finally, one ignition resulted in a fairly large and frightening bang. I reached out to the officer manager via email on a Sunday evening. Monday came and went without any contact. I called on Tuesday and received someone else; this individual mentioned that they were "trying to coordinate sending the service manager back out." The rest of Tuesday passed without any contact. Mid-day Wednesday, the service manager called and suggested that the pilot light might be dirty. We explained that this behavior had started after his service visit, to which he explained that there was no way for him to return to our house without charging us again. At this point, we decided to inspect the unit ourselves and call back if necessary. We removed the hearth overlay/glass, the glass media surrounding the burner, and the tray in which the media sat. Inside, we found a layer of dirt/grime, numerous dead moths, glass media at the bottom of the unit, a very dirty burner, and a very dirty pilot mechanism (see attached photo). This level of filth (especially the moths, which must have been holdovers from the prior summer) could not have appeared since the service call. It was clear that whatever "cleaning" the service manager did was superficial. We felt safe and savvy enough to clean and re-assemble everything ourselves; once we did, we ignited the fireplace 5-6 times and each time, no delayed ignition: everything ignited on time and as expected. It's entirely possible that we misunderstood the "cleaning" portion of our service appointment, but the combination of the very delayed customer service (from Monday to mid-day Wednesday), the service manager's "brush-off" Wednesday phone call (including the suggestion that we would be charged for a return visit), and the discovered filthiness of the fireplace is enough to leave a very sour taste in our mouth. We are unlikely to use or recommend TGC for this type of service again.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE: The owner is ignoring facts, twisting the truth, and is using their track record as "proof" that the customer is always WRONG. FACT: Techs wanted to leave (and not come back) WITH the boiler gas line CONNECTED FACT: CUSTOMER (me) ARGURED with the techs AND the sales rep to make sure leaks didn't exist AFTER gas is turned on FACT: Leaks were found and THEN the boiler was DISCONENECTED FACT: Emergency work "completed" did NOT restore heat FACT: Utility company demanded we fix ALL leaks. Only SOME leaks were fixed FACT: Tech NEVER declined fixing the gas valve to the boiler until AFTER PAYMENT The owner is making a false and defamatory statement by saying "The customer then wanted us to hookup an illegal shut-off that was leaking by his furnace." I was the one who DEMANDED the techs make sure no leaks existed AFTER gas was turned ON. They wanted to LEAVE with a CONNECTED gas line. Because leaks existed, I was COMPLETELY in AGREEMENT that they disconnect the line to the boiler. The other owner of the building witnessed this interaction. The owner is making a false statement by saying "He was informed from the beginning we did not service furnaces/boilers and that a company that specializes in that field would have to perform the work since the faulty shutoff was integrated with the pilot system." I was informed AFTER PAYMENT and was PROMISED by the tech that it would be no issue to fix AFTER gas was turned back on. The fine print in the quote says that the price reflects a 20% discount if paid after first trip, which is BEFORE city inspection. The certification sheet they send with the quote include HVAC and steam (furnace/Boilers) in their realm of expertise. I leave these reviews because we were exploited and paid for an incomplete job that would have left gas leaking into our home if I did not intervene. Instead of the owner taking responsibility for this failure, he lies about the facts and lets his ego get to his head.

Aaron just left our home less than an hour ago, and after speaking with my wife about the experience, I had to leave a review. Aaron was amazing. From friendly conversation to vacuuming after he was finished, my wife felt very comfortable and happy with the Gas Connection and Aaron. We installed a 1932 gas stove and Aaron was super friendly and complimentary. We were worried that we'd get somebody trying to steer us away from our antique appliance, but instead got somebody supportive and willing to make it work and walk my wife through what to watch for, etc. Thank you, The Gas Connection. We will recommend you and use you again if we need to!

Installed gas lines to 3 Charleston gas lanterns!!

Just went above and beyond to be helpful, but more than that, he also had such a pleasant and kind demeanor that I wanted to make him stay and be my new BFF. What a sweetheart. As a woman who is often home alone for these calls, I've had more than one uncomfortable experience. Victor just radiates reassurance and put me instantly at ease. I called his supervisor, Steve, to tell him what a good experience I had, but I also want to recognize him on here. He was only here for about 20 minutes, total, but made a very positive impression. He turned on the line, was very friendly to my pets, and then took the time to both explain how the water heater and furnace system work, how to check them for any problems, how to adjust the water heat level, and then checked around the house for CO leaks, because I'm a jeweler and have had false positives due to my acetylene torch. He was efficient, so it's not like he wasted time, but in that short amount of time, I learned things about my house's heating/water that I'm embarrassed I made it to this age without knowing. Also, the exhaust tube for the water heater wasn't lined up properly, so he adjusted it and double tested it to make sure my kids and I would be safe from CO leaks. If every big company had employees this competent, personable, and helpful, you'd have a lot fewer Karens b*tching about things. Victor, if you ever see this and are in the market for a new bestie, I'm in

The builder of the house next door wanted power as cheaply as possible. I asked the crew to hold off for a few minutes while I called BHE customer service. They stopped work and gave me a direct number to their supervisor. The plan originally was to get an estimate for running power underground, and ask the builder to split the cost with us, so we didn't have the eyesore or health hazards associated with the transformer. The builder refused to split the cost, but BHE halted work anyway. The supervisor called me about an hour later and said they'd decided to run the lines underground most of the way, eliminating the pole, wrote it up as a design change, and ate the cost. Didn't charge me a dime. I can't speak highly enough of the guys on the crew, the offsite supervisor, and BHE, as these men are representative of this company in the same way the negative reviews claim those men are. Thanks Black Hills In other news, we've had three blackouts in the last week. That's unacceptable. Right in the middle of washing clothes, washing dishes, making auto repairs, showering (tankless water heater), making dinner... get your act together on this. This is what you do. It's all you do. I appreciate the help with the power pole, but that doesn't make this somehow more bearable. Is this what happens when a company has zero competition and no chance for any?

So Xcel, you are very good at responding to emergencies. The bad: We hired Xcel to do a recent air conditioning installation, and they subcontracted all the work to a company called Mac's Maintenance LLC. After a two-month-long process with them (which involved them screwing up royally on several occasions), they did not pass the city inspection. So, Xcel: your choice in contractors sucks. The good: Xcel lets me pay my bill online through my bank, and I get emails of amount due instead of paper bills (which tend to get lost in my house). That simplifies things a lot. The bad: But if I want to actually look at my bill to see the itemized charges, you make it difficult, Xcel. The Xcel website is terrible. It's a pain to use, nothing is where it should be, and it rarely has the information I want. I've tried looking up my bill and billing history several times there, and more often than not it says that there is no history available. It's an even split. Xcel, you could be better, but you could be a lot worse, too.
