"New" boiler Wilfred delivered that was damaged and dragged by him across concrete (damaging both concrete and boiler more in process)

Update: We sued Wilfred / Alexanders Proficient Heating in small claims court for the thousands of dollars he charge for a botched job, that he was completely incapable of executing. We won and now Wilfred seems to be ignoring the court order to repay us. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. Original review: Willfred is a very charming man, but no integrity. Avoid at all costs. Incapable of even attempting the work he promises to do. Delivered damaged "new" goods, and damaged our property in the process of the installation ATTEMPT. Came without proper equipment or man power to do the job. Had to fire on the spot and hire someone else when he started damaging our home. Pursuing legal action to rectify the money he claimed. STEER CLEAR!

Beware of Wilfred and this team.  Most of these reviews on Yelp are fake.  He is incompetent and now avoids my calls.

This operation is a sham. I received a beat-up old boiler on a new boiler job and paid over $3K. The team showed up with improper tools and did damage to our property. I sued in small claims court and won. Now Wilfred will not answer calls or demands for payment. Stay away!

Ben solved some very thorny problems with my boiler. I have a 325 MBH Burnham 2009 steam boiler in…read moremy brownstone that was failing to start up especially after it had been down for a while. I mistakenly thought it was a worn out thermocouple and tried to replace it since I saw it done last time the problem arose. Unfortunately I was doped up on Benedryl to treat a bad head cold and caused a major short circuit of the controls while attempting the work. Having no idea of the extent of the damage and how to repair it and having bad luck with my previous contractor, I submitted inquiries to several contractor referral sites. Ben is on Yelp & Thumbtack and responded to me quickly. It was the weekend and the house was getting cold so I thought I should try him. He was very methodical and thorough in his work. It took several days while he was testing and replacing wires and testing the controls. While prepared to replace all the controls, he found that he only had to replace the 12 volt transformer and low water cutoff. He drained and cleaned out the boiler prior to installing the new cutoff. Apparently the boiler had been failing to start due to sediment from the dirty water on the water level probe of the low water cut off. He advised me how to periodically clean out the boiler to prevent the problem from recurring. Contrary advice I got from my prior company led to this problem. Unlike me he knew exactly what he was doing. His solutions followed an expert step by step diagnosis which lead to finding what needed to be replaced and not replacing more than was necessary and then checking all controls to make sure the boiler is operating properly and safely. He was also a pleasure to work with: friendly and respectful. I learned three major lessons from this experience: 1. Don't assume that the solution to a problem will be the same solution next time the same problem arises. The main original problem was not a worn out thermocouple but rather dirty water. Correlation is not causation. 2. A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing and never try to do possibly hazardous work when you are not clear headed no matter how smart or brave you think you are, and 3. Always call Ben if you have another problem with the boiler even if it is just replacing a thermocouple! Thanks again Ben

They were on time, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient and the price was in line with what we were accoustomed to paying for similar service. Brownstone is a keeper and I added them to my contact list.

I recently had my mini-split AC units deep cleaned, and I cannot recommend this company enough…read more From start to finish, the experience was seamless and highly professional. Max was fantastic to work with from the very beginning. His communication was constant, incredibly clear, and prompt. He went above and beyond to make sure all the scheduling details were perfectly aligned and that the estimate was accurate. It's so rare to find this level of responsiveness and transparency. On the day of the service, our technician, Oleksandr, was outstanding. He was incredibly thorough with the deep cleaning and treated our home with the utmost respect. What I appreciated most was how he took the time to explain exactly what he was doing at every step of the process. His work was meticulous, and he left the space spotless. If you are looking for an HVAC company that is honest, thorough, and genuinely cares about customer service, look no further. I will absolutely be using them again!

They are extremely responsive through text and phone calls, providing all details and cost breakdowns so there aren't any surprises. The pricing is on par with competitors in the area. As for the work itself, the team was prompt, showing up at the earlier end of the promised time window. They were efficient with both installation and cleaning efforts. The installation went seamlessly and flawlessly. Overall, I would absolutely hire Airnizer again as they provide an excellent level of communication, responsiveness, and overall service quality.
