I was visiting my aunt in Pittsburgh and accidentally broke her anvient thermostat. The front panel just fell off when I was trying to fiddlw with the controls. The model was so old that I was not able to find a manual for it and after I noticed it still had a mercury capsule for measuring temperature I told her we should replace the whole thing anyway.
I had no idea how the wiring worked, so I looked for a handyman nearby with experience working on these older models. I found Oleh through his website, he told me he has replaced the exact same model in the past and even told me what the wires were upfront so I decided to go with him to do the job.
He said he could buy a replacement on his way to me and didn't charge me extra, even showed me the receipt for how much he paid for the new one.
I paid 25$+tax for the new thermostat and 85$ for the replacement work. He knew exactly what he was doing. Because the new device was smaller he also applied some drywall filler to patch up the spot for free.
The communication was great, pricing was very transparent, everything worked, so I'm very happy with the service. read more
