You know, it's remarkable how the simplest of leaks can unravel a veritable tapestry of plumbing…read moremisadventures. You call in MRC Plumbing of Warrenton, expecting a quick fix under the kitchen sink, and what do they find? A setup from 2012 that was, let's say, more wishful thinking than plumbing-barely holding itself together, fittings loose, and, to add insult to injury, a rather pungent aroma wafting through your kitchen. You'd been waging war on that stench with baking soda and soap, convinced it was just a stubborn drain, when in reality, it was sewer gas slipping through a poorly sealed pipe. Not the sort of thing you'd catch unless, of course, you had a wrench for a hand and a sixth sense for leaks. But here's where MRC shines. They didn't just patch the leak and vanish. No, they assessed a puzzle of pipes installed in 2012 by a less than competent plumber, found disconnected pipes hanging onto each other by a thread, missing parts, and made it all tidier and more user friendly space under the kitchen sink. The leaks have stopped, the stench is gone, and I am happier than I thought I would be.

Chirstian Lopez was subcontracted by the HVAC company we hired to run the condensate lines for the…read moresystem. He did extremely messy work, and ended up plumbing the condensate down an interior wall that then exited the wall to two 90 degree bends and down through the floor of our kitchen which was in the process of a remodel. When I questioned it, I was told there was not other way to do it. This was completed at 6pm at night on a Saturday and we just wanted them out of the house. We had our plumber come in a few days later to see if he could change it, as the way it was set up would affect our cabinet layout. No need to get the HVAC company involved, it would be a small fix. Our plumber would be able with ease to get more of the piping in the wall. Upon going under the house to fully look at and complete the job, our plumber discovered that the condensate lines were not run to code. Mr. Lopez had run our condensate incorrectly into the sewage lines, in our crawl space. Because our plumber was there and there were concerns of the way it was done, we had him fix it on the spot. We then went to the HVAC company and Mr. Lopez and explained what happened and asked that they cover the cost for the condensate line to be fixed. We did not include the cost of moving the lines in the kitchen floor, as we planned on just easting that cost. Long story short we went back and forth for 6 months of them arguing that without proof from an inspector that it is wrong they would not do anything. They did say that if an inspector came back saying it wasn't to code, they would be sure to reimburse us. I ended up going to our town hall and explain what had happened to the inspector and providing pictures of the work done wrong and pulled a permit. The inspector wrote a report showing the violations. We then presented that to HVAC company and Mr. Lopez. They still refuse to reimburse us, claiming I should have given Mr. Lopez the chance to fix it. I however, did not want him back working on stuff when he already did shotty work.

I am a disabled senior. This review documents objective facts regarding HVAC services provided by…read moreBluestar Air Mechanical Inc. across two of my properties, identifying the specific staff involved. Alexandria Multi-Level Townhome Installation Diagnostic Visit (Isaac): Technician Isaac condemned my original AC unit as completely "dead" immediately upon arrival, without opening the service panel or performing electrical or refrigerant pressure tests. Salvage vs. Installation (Walter? & Karol?): Walter and Karol? spent extensive time meticulously extracting the original unit intact to preserve all components, while spending minimal time securing and properly installing the replacement machine. Undersized Equipment: For my 1,830 sq. ft. multi-level loft townhome, Bluestar installed a 2.5-ton National Comfort Products through-the-wall AC unit that is physically less than half the size of my original machine, leaving massive voids around the wall opening. Life-Safety Fall Hazard: The machine sits near the roofline several stories above a ground-level driveway. It rests inside the oversized opening without dedicated structural framing, a properly fitted sleeve, or mechanical mounting brackets to anchor it. Massive Gaps & Exterior Visibility: Gaping openings were left on the sides, so wide that I can clearly see neighboring townhomes and direct outdoor daylight from inside my utility closet. Soft Foil Tape & Expanding Foam: The top of the machine was sealed with only soft silver foil tape and flexible wrap rather than a rigid sheet metal transition or structural collar. Into the open side voids, Karol? messily sprayed orange expanding foam instead of constructing proper framing, trim, or weatherproofing. Severe Noise & Vibration: When activated, the unit generates extreme operating noise and structural vibration felt throughout the living areas. Missing Property: A step stool kept in my utility room went missing immediately after the crew packed their gear and departed; I am continuing to check my home to ensure nothing else is missing. Communication Evasion: Karol? conversed easily in English upon arrival, but suddenly claimed not to understand English when questioned about the open gaps, lack of framing, and spray foam. Dismissive Management (Lyn): I sent Lyn multiple detailed text messages and photos documenting my serious safety concerns, questions about the oversized opening, and the complete lack of structural support. Despite being fully informed of the severity and specifics of the hazard, Lyn trivialized the issue before 8:07 am on Sep 16, only replying that she would send someone back merely to "clean that up," offering no plan for structural framing or proper sleeve installation. Washington, D.C. Property Service Undelivered Documentation (Isaac): I was charged a significantly higher inspection fee specifically contracted to include an official written cause-of-damage report and a formal repair estimate for an insurance claim. Technician Isaac completed the on-site visit, but no written report or cost estimate was ever provided, despite multiple follow-up requests sent directly to both Lyn and Isaac. Licensing Verification: Bluestar explicitly confirmed prior to the appointment that the technician held a D.C. HVAC license, but no license number or proof of licensure was ever furnished. Based on these documented facts, I cannot recommend Bluestar Air Mechanical Inc. to other homeowners or seniors.

I'm leaving a review based on my prior experiences with KCS (have used them since we purchased our…read morehome in 2020). We got their base maintenance plan with 2 inspection services each year, and used that for about 3 years (no real issues to fix.) During one inspection in 2024, the tech realized that our furnace water pan had filled (but not so high it shut off yet) and he helped identify the problem and luckily was able to fix it the same day (no parts/ charge.) He suggested in a non-pushy way that it really may benefit us to up our plan to the higher one (almost double the cost/yr, so a little scary) because we're probably entering the zone where larger repairs may start for our furnace and the plan covered most of the types of parts that would be in a significant repair. He seemed knowledgeable and trustworthy, so we decided to at least do it for a year. We were very lucky, because the next year was the epic winter - the furnace went out/ our YouTube tricks didn't get it running, and the red plan ($500/yr) meant we pushed to the top of the queue and got someone out when the temp was dropping in the whole house. Apparently the part needed to fix it was over $1,000 (not including install), and that was covered in our plan. So that proved the value for us! I know they were recently acquired/ merged with FH Furr, so it appeared that our online requests for service on the KCS site were not actually being seen/ addressed. When I got time to call over, the former red maintenance plan was unfortunately no longer sold by this new company. I got the "gold plan" which includes 2 HVAC inspections, a plumbing inspection, and an electrical inspection for honestly a price that is so cheap I'm worried it's going to be an upselling scam :/ so I'll update this as needed in the future to help others who may wondering if this new company will have the same service quality as pre-acquisition.

I awoke to a flood in my basement yesterday (7/3), coming from my HVAC system. The company that…read moreinstalled the system - K&M - only sent my call to voicemail & never called back, so I immediately phoned another local company with good reviews - Able Heating & Air. They were friendly, courteous, & understanding the urgency of the situation, told me that one of their staff would definitely show up for me, probably in early evening. The gentleman (Matt) & the office both kept me apprised of his estimated arrival time, & arrive on time he did. Used a portable shop-vac to suck up as much flood water as possible, quickly diagnosed the problem, installed new drain equipment, & helped me with a couple of other things (I'm somewhat disabled). He couldn't have been more personable or competent. And keep in mind this was after hours, like around 7 p.m. Due to my particular situation, he did suggest (but definitely not PUSH) their twice-a-year maintenance plan, which I jumped at since I am now a widow & everything is now up to me. For $499 they come twice a year to check/clean/repair indoor/outdoor heat pump system, as well as check/clean/flush the water-tank system. Works for me. All in all, the after-hours visit & all the work he did + the new maintenance plan came to $833. Fine with me. Able is now my new HVAC company. K&M, after 30 years of being a loyal customer, lost me. (Update: To be completely fair, K&M did call me back at 8 a.m. this morning (7/6), apologized & said that they were closed Friday for the holiday, but that they were happy that I found someone to come & resolve my emergency, for which I thanked them. While I certainly don't grudge them taking the day off, they really should have mentioned that on their recorded message, so I didn't sit around waiting for a call-back.)
