Before every appointment, they send a text with the tech's name, photo, and even a little bio including their hobbies. It's like getting a match on a dating app, only this time the person actually shows up and fixes the problem instead of ghosting you. The first visit didn't clear the clog, but the next day another technician came out and patiently explained everything. Both were courteous, on time, and really knew their stuff. And while Yelp loves photos, trust me -- nobody wants to see what was blocking my drain. That's a whole different genre. Bottom line: Boothe's brings personality and professionalism to plumbing. They made an unpleasant situation downright educational and pleasant -- and that's a rare gift.

I'm a retired…read moreengineer having worked my 36 years in the HVAC field and believe in giving credit where it is due. We couldn't be more pleased with the service we received from Advantage Mechanical in the installation of our heat pump/furnace system. JR is highly skilled and qualified in all aspects of the HVAC trade. He was able to remove our old system and install the new one in one day. The attention to detail was outstanding with no corners cut in the installation. Ductwork was fabricated and precisely fit to adapt the new furnace/air handler, and carefully sealed at all the joints. The refrigerant system lines were purged and cleaned with a solvent prior to a full deep vacuum being drawn prior to final charge. Once the system was running all adjustments were made to both gas pressure to the furnace and blower speeds for the air handler fan. They placed a runner to the outside to keep from tracking dirt inside the house, another attention to detail. They're pricing was also very competitive. They are run in an "old school" manner placing quality and ethical service first. We highly recommend Advantage Mechanical for any HVAC related work.

I live in northern St Mary's County. I have been a longtime customer of Burch Oil. Years ago I had…read more4 very old heat pumps at the end of their lives. I replaced one per year for 4 years. Bobby from Burch Oil explained everything heat pump to me and helped me make informed choices. (Did anyone else know that Burch Oil installs and works on heat pumps?) One of the 4 ended up being a lemon (by no fault of Burch Oil), and it was a long road to convince the company that makes the heat pumps to replace it. Those at Burch Oil helped in every way they could and eventually it was replaced. Fast forward to nowadays. Another of the heat pumps stopped working at the beginning of this heat wave on Sunday. During every week I am an hour away caring for my elderly mother at her house and can't leave without arranging care for her. Burch Oil responded immediately to my call and worked with me to arrange an appointment the next day that I could be there for. James figured out what was wrong and ordered the part, and told me it is covered by warranty--I didn't even know that, but they keep track. The part arrived the very next day. Then Buddy in dispatching worked with me to arrange a time to install it 24 hours later when I could come home again--they may have been able to install it earlier, but I couldn't come any sooner. What a relief! I'm having my granddaughters at my house this weekend and originally thought there was no way the AC would be working by then, but Burch Oil came through, and everyone I talked to was helpful and friendly and concerned for me. I could never find the words to express how grateful I am for their help, caring and personal business model, and constancy over the years.

They came back out and said it needed a new motor so I paid for that 2. It still didn't work. Then they come back out and say i need a whole new unit. I called to complain and couldn't get a call back. Now months later they have the nerve to call and say $4000 with a 15 percent discount. R they serious?

Both systems were functioning just fine, EXCEPT for some reason after the technician left the Honeywell Provison Series 8000 thermostat started to malfunction. The next day it just went blank. (Hmmm.....coincidence or causation?....just saying) The technician came back and said the thermostat was defective and he could change it out then and there as he had one ($590) in his truck. I figured it was under warranty so why not and the technician said I would "get my money back, well most of it". RED FLAG - I should have asked for an explanation. So my card was charged for $590. The office just called and said they credited back to my card $343! and they pocketed $247!! (for "shipping and labor"). So be wary and very careful if you have hired them, but if you are not locked into a Maintenance Agreement I suggest you call another HVAC company.

John was very polite and immediately told me my HVAC closet smelled because a mouse died in there. He also called a relative while at my place and on the way home to give me their suggestions on dealing with the smell, which has nothing to do with HVAC and is above and beyond in my opinion. Yes, I did have to pay the $100 fee to come out. I paid in cash to not have to pay the 10% processing fee. I was fine with paying this to have someone come out so quickly, and on a Sunday. Would call again. When my problem actually involves HVAC repair.
