That's like me sending a bulldozer to repair your house. Very unprofessional and said it would be another few weeks when he got back from vacation to repair this. I said I was pissed off and this was bullshit and then he tells My Husband that since I'm cursing that he would have to charge for the repairs instead of doing them for free as he stated from the beginning. It doesn't matter the charge to me. it matters that the job is done and done, right. Not sending a carpenter who has no clue what he's doing to a plumbers repair. And I as I told him he can shove it up his ass before I hung up on the fool. There's plenty better and more professional services out there than half ass plumbers that send carpenters to do their job just because they're going on vacation very unprofessional. Money talks bullshit walks. Keep walking and enjoy your review and your vacation!!

As a result I had plumbing problems , fails of both major (serious damage)and minor ( wet annoying expensive to repair)proportions at each critical toilet or water delivery point. Just awful and work was done with a lousy attitude . I have always suspected it was passive aggressive sabotage since he was surly and aloof once he got the job and 90% of the money pretty close to the front end. When my job finish was delayed he really hated coming back to finish for the last 10% I think. Why .. well probably because 50%of the work remained to be done. It took a long time due to circumstances beyond my control. He was a bitter pill. Keep looking.

He also failed to appreciate the fact that he needed to send someone out to get a proper handle on the problem Instead he insisted on pictures, even though the plumbing is still newish and no issue is readily visible.

After not honoring their advertised 'Residential Emergency Service Plumbing', I had a leaking external pex line, they told me they couldn't get to the job done till the next day. I had to send 2 reminders the next day for them to come take a look at the active leak and the job consisted of a simple cut and adding a pex coupler. The 2 pex crips and coupler easily less than $10. As a professional plumber, the labor should have been less than 30 minutes. They quoted me, $400!!!!!! I feel they did that because they new I was on the mainland and a property landlord. I would never take advantage of people like Emery plumbing tried to take advantage of me...what a shame!!!!!

Since I was leaving Sunday afternoon, I asked what time he would be by. He then changed his mind and said he didn't need to be bothered rescheduling and would not be returning to finish the job. Based on my experience, you cannot rely on him to complete the work.

In April 2022, 4 years ago, Hilo Air installed 3 mini splits and a used central condenser with…read morewhat we were told was a 10 year warranty in our home for just over $8,000. This April, almost exactly 4 years later, the system was leaking water and not working. Technician came out, said the coil was leaking. Was here for 2 hours. I asked him what we owed. He said Hilo Air would send us a bill, but it should be about $250 to $300. Hilo Air said the condenser was now 5 years old and past warranty because it was used and we needed a new one. For $7,000. The cost about doubled in 4 years! But that price included the service call. OK. When I asked for a separate bill, they said the service call would be about $378. Today, May 7th, I told them we could not afford a new system, we would go without A/C, and to please invoice us for the service call separately. The new invoice showed the service call now cost $403. For 2 hours of the Tech's time. Hilo Air is not the same company it used to be. I cannot recommend Hilo Air due to their ever changing price quotes. I believe they are using any excuse to gouge their customers. In my opinion they cannot be trusted. Do not use.

BEWARE!!! Hilo Air…read moreappears only to care about being paid. Not concerned with actually providing good service. SPOILER: Hilo Air and its technicians/workers along with its owner appear to only care about being paid and are not concerned with providing actual quality service to customers, despite my attempts to communicate the numerous issues to management and the owner. Series of events went as follows: 1. Scheduled a first visit to troubleshoot what the issue is with my AC unit. 2. FIRST visit - technician came out and did some tests and left me with the impression that everything was working and then left. Only to find out a week later that we needed to order a part. I was surprised. Spoke to Mitch about this and told him I had no issue with paying for a part I needed, but there was a communication breakdown with the tech. 3. SECOND visit - technician made a mistake in the quantity of refrigerant put into the AC unit. Checked for leaks. Did not communicate well what was expected to happen going forward. Did not specify needing a 3rd visit. 4. THIRD visit - Technician (Abner) showed up late. I called Hilo Air's office and talked to Mitch. He hadn't heard from Abner. Abner then told Mitch he was going to be late when he was 30 minutes away and 20 minutes late to my schedule appointment. Prior to this visit I made it clear that I was frustrated to Mitch and did not want to have a 4th, 5th, 6th visit to fix an issue that should have been communicated clearly what the problem was and needed in the first 2 visits. Note - Two rooms are attached to this AC unit. One had issues, the other worked. By the end of the visit the technician had left me with both rooms not working properly. Technician shows up 90 minutes late. He (Abner) finds out that during his second visit he had to redo the refrigerant portion of work from visit #2. I communicate to Mitch that I am not paying for the extra time and work for the technician to REDO his work from the 2nd visit. At the end of the work day around 3:45 I caught the technician looking to leave without properly informing me what the current temperatures were in both rooms. He put away all of his equipment and did not appear to have the intention of showing me the issues with the AC unit and the two rooms. He had caused a problem with the room that was working and wasn't going to show me the issue. I had to ask him to bring out his tools to measure the temperatures in both rooms. This interaction was recorded where the technician admits (Abner) that he doesn't know that is wrong with the AC and that he doesn't know why the temperature is outside of the normal operating range it is supposed to work at. His short term solution: Run the AC over the weekend. At the end of this visit I immediately called Mitch at Hilo Air and told him what transpired and told him I was not going to pay for this 3rd visit and the portion of the 2nd visit that the technician (Abner) did incorrectly as well. Mitch informs me he will find a solution to get me up and running with my AC (Friday). Monday comes, Tuesday comes no call from Hilo Air or Mitch. I call them and ask Mitch what do we do as I'm not happy with having to be forced to schedule a 4th visit. Note - This 4th visit that was scheduled was essentially an extension of the 3rd visit described above. 5. FOURTH visit - Technician comes out and tests temperatures and a few things and tells me we need to install another part. At this point I tell him I don't want to schedule a 5th (yes a FIFTH visit) to fix my AC unit. And to have Mitch call me because at this point I'm not happy. 6. I email Mitch my series of notes, issues, and inform him that I want to know what I am being billed currently as we are now on the FIFTH visit. 7. I respond with my notes above to which I am forwarded to the owner of Hilo Air. 8. A week goes by and no one responds to my email. I reply again/forwarding the email to the owner again. 9. I get a bill in which I do not agree with. 10. I reply to the owner and ask him to call me directly on my cell phone. 11. He doesn't call me, doesn't want to know the context of how things played out, but resorts to glossing over my issues that are accurate documented on my end with audio and video recordings of his technician and instead does the following: The owner of Hilo Air tells me if I have a problem with their company that I should call another AC company. The owner also tells me he is doing me a favor by not charging me for the 5-6 hour visit (3rd visit). Condescending email. I intend on paying for the portion of the bill in which I believe I should pay based on the service that was provided. My AC still has not been fixed after 2-3 months of back and forth with their technician, owner, office manager etc. My conclusion: Hilo Air AC is primarily concerned with billing hours and not too concerned with hearing their customers out before passing judgement. BEWARE!
