Woke up on a Saturday morning to a leaking dishwasher valve under my kitchen sink. Finding an emergency plumber who would respond quickly was harder than I thought, but Trademasters answered the phone on the third ring and politely told me a tech would call within 30 minutes. He did just that and while he ended up coming a bit later than estimated, he kept me in the loop and arrived when he said he would. Edward was polite and straightforward about the price and was done in less than an hour. I was impressed and had them (Edward again) come back three days later for some non-urgent work. Same great work/service. Will definitely use them again. read more

I had a problem with my mini split another contractor installed and was unable to get some companies to come out and assist because "they didn't install the system". Tradmasters, immediately said it was no problem and came to my home, evaluated my system, corrected the problem, and didn't hit me with a huge bill. The technician, Tyrone, was helpful, courteous, and very knowledgeable. I have since used them for my main AC and they again proved to be an incredible and fair priced go to company that meets my needs. read more

Trademasters is a great company. I have dealt with them for HVAC needs over the last couple of years. I can't speak highly enough about them. In particular, Shane who was fantastic in helping us pick our new system. Shane is very knowledgeable and patient. He didn't use any aggressive sales tactics at all. He answered all my emails in a timely manner, even though I'm sure they were annoying. I had a ton of questions! But it didn't bother him at all, at least in his responses back lol. Shane and the folks at Trademasters are top notch and I will surely be saving their contact info for any future needs. read more

We are very happy with Trademasters and have been using them for years. Our most recent technician, Solomon, was wonderful. He really spent time explaining things and gave us excellent service. We highly recommend Trademasters. They stand by their work and have great customer service. read more

Devon came to my house today to fix a clogged drain and a leaky pipe. He was so knowledgeable and helpful, I really appreciate his attention to detail. Thanks again for the great work!! read more

I had an excellent experience with Trademasters - Plumbing Division -- yesterday. The technician was Edward King. He arrived right on time, put on shoe covers before entering my home, and was very polite. He diagnosed the problem with my garbage disposal and asked if I wanted him to repair it or replace it. Since it was 9 years old, I chose to have the disposal replaced. Mr. King did so efficiently and neatly and also adjusted the water filter on my kitchen faucet to give a better stream! There was no mess to clean up at all when he finished, which I really appreciated. I have had other experiences with Tradmasters -- installing my last two heat pumps, correcting bathtub overflow valve, commodes not filling, and then the disposal. All have been good service experiences but the one yesterday with Mr. King was the best! read more

We used Trademasters to replace our Air Conditioner and Furnace early spring just as the hot weather began. Out Air Conditioner quit on us. Trademaster came out replaced both units they worked all day inside and out. I see them as very professional, polite, hardworking gentlemen. I highly recommend this Company to anyone that wants excellent service at a good value. We have used them in the past for plumbing issues and had excellent results. read more

Our Hvac system needed replacing and we got estimates from four Trane dealers. Two did not understand our special needs (we have a grand piano) and have is estimates for less expensive but inadequate system, one gave us an estimate for a far larger and higher end system than we needed at twice the price. Trademasters understood exactly what we needed at a price only 10% higher than the inadequate systems. Installed it in one day, top quality workmanship and great support read more

We have used Trademaster for HVAC and today we had Phil to correct a plumbing problem. He was great, fixed the problem and was very professional. We had to replace our HVAC system and they gave us a good price and quick service. Ashley and Sandy provide great customer service. I highly recommend them. read more

I had my entire HVAC unit replaced with a Trane furnace and a National Comfort in the wall A/C unit today. From start to finish it's been a great experience beginning with Shane giving me the estimate and explaining everything needed and not needed, to Laurie scheduling the install and asking me if there any remaining questions I have, to Freddy and Luis doing the perfect install. I can't tell you what a relief it is to finally have found a company to deal with that has integrity and is completely trustworthy. No one tried to upsell me on anything that was unnecessary. I finally have found my go to HVAC-needs company! I highly recommend going with TradeMasters! You won't be sorry! read more

Outstanding service technician, knowledgeable and skilled, explained everything before hand and during the repair. Reasonable prices. But you have to get past there customer service agent on the phones. Both were terrible, unknowingly how to place your request for service in the system, poor service, with attitude for both females agents. They assume I was a teenager read more

The pilot light in my tenant's water heater wouldn't stay lit so I called Trademasters to take a look. They came by, took a look, and said I needed to replace the entire water heater and sent me a quote for nearly $3,000, even after I suggested that it was the thermocouple that needed replacing. So, I went to Home Depot, bought a $13 thermocouple, and had the repair done by someone else. Pilot stays lit, water heater works perfectly, saved thousands. So basically, I paid Trademasters to come by and quote me on an unnecessary replacement job. Total scam. I have been using Trademasters for my annual AC and heating inspections but this completely unjustified recommendation to replace a perfectly fine water heater has made me lose all trust in the company. Will be looking for a new contractor next year. read more

Worst experience with a contractor in our lives and that is saying a lot since we have lived through major remodeling. Trademasters poorly installed a very expensive "top of the line " trane system and we had continuous problems requiring repeated service calls with varying degrees of incompetent technicians. Dave the owner was friendly on the phone but only TWO months after install and we had no heat when it was 19 degrees outside, Trademasters tech refused to come until we gave him a credit card number over the phone for the emergency service call. System was under warranty but we never received our money back. Even worse, we continued to have problems with no heat on this brand new system until we gave up and we hired another company to fix their poor installation. We have since been told by two different companies that in addition to the faulty install, the entire system was grossly oversized for our house (usually used in commercial buildings) resulting in very high utility bills. After a few years we ended up cutting our losses and scrapped the whole thing with an appropriately sized model. Hiring Trademasters was a very, very expensive mistake. read more

If you're planning to work done or change your HVAC system, be careful, you may get HVACED with some companies out there. To be more specific, I had installed a new system with "TradeMasters "about two years ago in my condo . I did not have enough heat throughout in the winter and now , no cold air. After two visits from them with no good results, I finally called and hired "Kraft" company and they told me there are two things wrong from the original installation and they must be corrected and they gave me an estimate. I approached TradeTmasters to come and correct their faulty installation . They came and gave me an estimate about twice as the other company. I finally had " Kraft " to do the repair and now after two years the system is up and running. Not only I was HACKED by TradeMastrers, my system was also HVACED by them. Be careful out there Shahrokh , read more

My 23 year old HVAC system bit the dust. I did my due diligence to shop around for a replacement unit and I am so glad that I did. Trademasters blew the competition out of the water and presented me with a very fair proposal to replace my HVAC system. Technicians Chris and Josh arrived bright and early and worked diligently to get my rooms cooling again. The men didn't dilly dally and cleaned up when the job was done. I hope Trademasters knows just how lucky they are to have these very hard working young men! If I were a teacher giving a grade on my overall experience, I would happily give an A+. read more

i had a good experience with Trademasters about 10 years ago at another of my homes. That time i had a local dishonest technician trying to sell me an entire a/c system. I wanted a second opinion and Trademasters checked my system recharged it with dye to look for leaks and it lasted past when i sold the house 6 years later. This time American Home Shield was supposed to take care of my a/c and they sent out a crooked technician to install the cheapest crappy equipment and i would pay 95% of this repair so i would not let them touch my house. I decided to ensure my home was repaired correctly so i contacted Dave's team at Trademasters. Shane came over and gave me an estimate for my a/c system . Everything went as described and I am so happy with my new system. These guys are great !! They are honest and trustworthy and its hard to find honest technicians this talented in the HVAC industry. Keep up the good work !! read more

Trademaster's went the extra mile at every turn when our A/C conked out in late summer. They sent someone on a Saturday to inspect the old unit and deliver an estimate to replace it. They kept us posted on the status of the replacement unit that had to be made for our old, cramped house, and they installed it promptly and correctly. And they also gave us the low estimate of the three estimates we had performed before having it done. read more

I'm giving Trademasters five stars thanks to the five-star service we received. We recently had our ancient (and dead) HVAC unit replaced by this company and the quality of work was excellent! Also, the staff worked with a high level of professionalism. From our initial estimate meeting with Shane, I was very comfortable with his knowledge and was confident that they could do the job, which wasn't and easy one due to the age of our previous unit and the orientation of it. Shane gave a competitive quote and we decided on Trademasters largely due to his understanding of the situation and his experience. The staff worked from 7 am to 4 pm. It was an all-day job, but they got the work done earlier than previously estimated. Safety precautions were definitely taken and the technicians kept their masks on for the duration of the work, which alleviated any concerns. Once that air conditioning kicked it, relief was granted! Payment was easy as well and the office staff did a great job coordinating everything. Awesome service and highly recommended! read more

I set up a maintenance contract to have my A/C and water heater inspected (required by HOA). The person answering the phone was always helpful and friendly, and the technician arrived within the time window. He did a careful job checking everything and taught me some things about my units. Simple thing I'm most grateful for: he fixed the setting on my water heater so I can have hot showers (not only tepid ones). Very pleased. read more

Trademaster's provided us high quality HVAC expertise and advice that we needed and felt comfortable relying upon. We needed a second opinion on the safety of a furnace in the house we were renting. After smelling gas, Washington Gas came out and posted a Red Tag on furnace line due to hazard. Landlady sent someone out who looked at the unit for 5 minutes, and told us it was fine. We needed a company to come out and do a thorough, by-the-book, evaluation of the unit to inform us on why it was or was not safe. We picked Trademasters from the list of "Quality Assured" businesses maintained by the Air Conditioning Contractor's Association (ACCA). When we scheduled the appointment, I was assured that our HVAC specialist would be hold a Master tradesman license (which is not required in Virginia, but a sign of advanced training and expertise). Technician AJ came out and spent almost 2 hours going through all aspects of the furnace, and explained each step to us as he worked. We learned a lot about how the furnace works, what are the indications failure that can be see visually, and what can be inferred by operational signs (heat temperature differentials, gas measurements, shut down cycles, etc). He also called up the manufacturer to determine what service advisories and warranty were associated with that model/serial #. We got a written report that was detailed. When the furnace was subsequently replaced, we took pictures of the primary and secondary heat exchangers. It was just as described by AJ, damaged by heat stress and corrosion. We've been home owners for 25 years. I don't think we ever had such great service. Thank you. read more

Trademasters have been our preferred HVAC provider for nearly 20 years, over the course of three houses we've owned in Arlington during that period. They are unfailingly courteous and efficient and always responsive to our needs, be they the regular bi-annual system maintenance or the occasional equipment problem. Their rates are fair market but they provide supreme value for our dollar. An added benefit of using Trademasters is that they also provide plumbing services. It makes it so easy to just call one service number for virtually all our HVAC and plumbing needs. From the front desk staff to the experienced journeymen who show up at our door, we love the Trademasters team!! Highly recommend!! read more

Very easy to work with, everyone is very nice and we have never any issues with people not showing up. They inspected our furnace today, no issues but noticed a rusted hole and leaking water from our expansion tank to the water heater. A plumber was out within an hour and our tank was replaced by Gonzalo-- easy, fast and he was so nice! Thanks guys! read more

We scheduled what I thought was a routine snaking of a stubborn/slow toilet. I added a couple more similar problems after the tech arrived and he did a great job on each. He also noticed an issue with our septic system outside the house that we had not noticed, and helped me with some quick fixes and discussions with our septic service provider over the phone. Highly recommend Trademasters! read more

Used Trademasters for my regular HVAC servicing - I was so impressed a technician was available to come out the very next day. My technician Gabriel was very thorough and took the time to explain various aspects of my HVAC system to me and what he was looking for in his inspection. He also explained how I could keep the system in good repair through routine maintenance - very helpful. Definitely would recommend and will use them again! read more

We are huge fans of the team at Trademasters. They have serviced the HVAC unit in our home for ~5 years and we've never been disappointed. We used them even while we were under a service agreement with the other "big company" (that works on commission). I'll keep using Trandmasters as long as we're in their service area for sure. Phil was EXCELLENT. He tried to help solve the problem on the phone and was very honest and open about the solution. Thanks!!! Keep up the good work Trademasters!!! read more

I needed a full HVAC replacement in my ~2000 square foot condo. External condenser, internal evaporator, furnace and blower. I live on the top floor(s) of my building, so the install also required a crane to get the condenser up to the roof. Shane was very friendly when he came out for the initial inspection and estimate. He explained everything in thorough, but layman, detail so I knew exactly what was going to be done, I understood the scope of work, and even recent legislation that required specific system choices (type of refrigerant, etc). The workers were very efficient, friendly, and professional. They laid down tarps to cover all of the carpets they had to walk on and/or work around. Even when I had the door propped open if the 'outside' guy (the one working on the condenser) had to come inside, he'd still knock. Once finished they walked me through the manuals, guides, etc for the system. They showed me the emergency cut-off and moisture cutoff systems they installed. Showed me how to clean the u-bend they installed for the condensate...basically walked me through the whole care and feeding of the system. I got multiple quotes from HVAC vendors around NoVa, Trademasters weren't the cheapest, they were close, but they were also the most professional, seemed the most interested in forming a business relationship with me, and were the highest recommended....a recommendation I now share and freely provide. read more

So I had my air conditioner and water heater inspection per my condo rules. 12 months ago I was told my coolant was low and leaking and I should consider a replacement, which I'm more likely to believe. Today a guy came out (and honestly I don't think he ever inspected the ac unit because I didn't see him go back behind the building) and he says nothing is wrong with it. Huh? Did it fix itself? Did my coolant refill itself?! Either the first guy lied or this new guy has no idea what he's doing. Either way, I won't be renewing my agreement. I want a company that provides consistent and reliable service every time, regardless of which representative is sent to my home. Oh and I know for a FACT that he didn't inspect my water heater because it's in the bathroom and he never went in there. He gave it a pass though. SMH read more

Okay, I have to give these guys the best review there is. We had a problem with our AC that happened in March. Home warranty company sent 3 different companies ALL three gave us different problems, tried to "fix" things while basically destroying our AC unit as a result. our neighbor recommended Trademasters. I called and Dan came out the next day and checked our unit. He was very quiet and professional. He took his time and checked everything and ended up telling me what the actual problems were. He also recommended replacing the whole system since the problem was more severe than I was informed by 3 other companies(each tried to solve the problem by fixing the parts). Note this was already in June. We decided to get a quote to see how much it would cost to replace the system. Sean their sales rep came out and gave us the best offer he could without trying to upsell his product. He left me with the pile of information to read including the recommendations. He also made sure to accommodate us if we decided to go with the installment of new system since it was the busy time they were booked out three weeks in advance, but he understood our situation having a small child and a dog and they prioritized us. They came out within three days of our decision and installed new system, provided certification and inspection instructions. The city inspector came out checked everything and everything looked great. I just can't thank them enough. If you are looking for a pressure-free, stress-free company you should defenetly call them read more

I canceled my service contract after the 3rd missed 1st call appointment! What's the point of making a first call if you never get put on the schedule or the tech never shows up. Also, when they do show up the techs just like to complain about the company and tell me how the owner isn't really interested in the residential side of the business! Not wasting my money of this business anymore! read more

If Yelp offered ten instead of five stars, I would have selected all ten for Trademasters. I have encountered few better managed companies from the skilled and experienced techs to the efficient and resourceful customer service reps. Somehow they navigated a messy challenge involving our 100 year old home and a high tech boiler system in spite of their vendors sending the wrong parts twice. Many thanks to Eric, Phil, Ashley and a bunch of unsung heroes -- and special thanks to whoever hired and manages the team. read more

I seemed to be collecting a list of vendors I would NOT use Again. I finally found one I will. I didn't realize that many HVAC and plumbing firms PAY their technicians a commission on what they sell in your home. Once I learned that ... it explained a lot about the vendors I didn't like. Trademasters has salaried employees who are dedicated to their profession and work to provide you with the right solution for your home and budget. When I asked about putting in a NEST, my technician shared with me the pluses and minuses and spent the time making sure I understood my choices. When the heater just failed, they got someone here to take care of our issue within hours (it was a really cold day.) It's nice to know there are some GOOD companies out there that still do the RIGHT thing. read more

Great people, great team, excellent service. Each individual has been honest, straightforward and respectable.

My husband and I had an EXCELLENT experience with Trademasters...specifically with the technician R.J. Our 2012 HVAC heat pump has been giving us trouble for over a year. First, it was freezing up. Once that issue was fixed (by another company), it was making an incredibly loud noise after the defrost cycle. We had one of the five star rated (on yelp) companies come out to look at it. The technician diagnosed it as a failing reverse value, stated the cost to replace it would be $950 plus parts, and recommended we buy a new unit from him instead for $2300. We contacted Trademasters to get a second opinion. Ashley was willing to give us a quote over the phone unlike some of the other companies we called. She provided an estimate of $400 (including Freon) plus parts to replace the valve and said they would do their own investigation free of charge. When R.J. came to our home, he took the time to listen to our concerns and then thoroughly investigated the issue despite the freezing temperatures outside. He determined that the cause was from a failed solenoid not the reversing value. He then went to get the part for us that morning and returned an hour later to fix the heat pump. In total, the fix was only $175 for labor (part was under warranty). Our heat pump is now running perfectly and no longer disturbing us or our neighbors. THANK YOU R.J.!!! read more

Have been using Trademasters for years. They've always been dependable and perform quality work. Most of the technicians have been courteous, friendly, and informative with respect to explaining the work they are doing and why. They always come in with shoe protectors when working inside the house. When one of the A/C compressors died outside, we elected to replace both Comfortmaker HVAC systems original to our house with two new, more efficient Trane systems installed by Trademasters. They aren't the lowest priced, but they've always been fair and reasonable on price, and given the quality of workmanship and good people Trademasters sends to our home, I've never hesitated renewing the service agreement with them each year. read more

This is Part 3 of my review of Trademasters. A tech came to fix the drooping liner under the heat pump. He explained how he was going to fix the problem before he started the work. The work he did was phenomenal, and the liner is now installed correctly. Because the tech did such an excellent job, I'm going to request him for any future work. If you want your job to be done correctly, ask for RJ. read more

Trademasters just saved me $3700 as best as I an figure it. Beat that! . The original installing firm without testing or trying to troubleshoot told me my combo heating/hot water unit had no parts available and that I needed a new boiler, chimney sleeve - the works. Trademasters plumbers on the other hand came and correctly diagnosed it was a exterior (to the unit) mixing valve. They spent time, researching and reading to make sure. The boiler specialist came and within 3 minutes confirmed proper function with piping hot water coming from taps and showers. He replaced probably a $50 mixing valve and now we have more hot water than ever before, and, it's been 12-15 years! The first installing company - UAT - installed it with too much cold flow (not tuned correctly) Imagine that! Anyway, it's rare to find an honest company that allows you to put ALL that money back in your pocket. Trademasters will a be my service company for our rental house and I'll advocate for them. Outstanding! read more

Simply put... they "inspected" our hot water heater, per condo rules... and 3 weeks later, there was no hot water. Resulted in a $500 repair to our hot water heater. Beware. read more

Phil did such a great job! He thoroughly investigated the issue, came up with a game plan and executed all while explaining each step in detail to me as he went. Phil definitely represented the company well and its obvious that he loves working in this field. Thanks again Trademasters and Phil for the great service! read more

I own a condo and decide it was time to replace my entire HVAC system so I got three quotes - Trademaster, McCarthy, and HVAC Unlimited. It's not an easy system to install but pretty straightforward in what can be used (products)... Trademaster's quote was SIGNIFICANTLY less than the others. They came recommended by my neighbor who was a customer that recently had her entire system replaced, And they've been working in my McLean/Tysons condo community for over the 16 years I've owned my unit ... so I selected them. The entire process was simple ... open communication, specialists were professionals in every way one would expect (installation went smoothly). Based on my experience (today) I HIGHLY recommend them and would definitely use them again! read more

I just hired Trademasters to fix my AC after that freak storm. It so good to be able to relax in the cold again. It's better than anything. Anyway they were fast and knowledgeable and not some chump high school drop out idiot like I've had to deal with before. read more
