When my heat went out at 2 am on one of the coldest nights of the year, I spent an hour calling…read moreevery HVAC company on Yelp to find someone who could help me out ASAP. It turns out a lot of pipes froze that night, because no one had any techs available. The best I could get from mist was a promise to have someone call me in the morning. Josh from Holmes, though, called me back immediately. He helped me stop the water that was flowing out of the burst valve, made sure I had some emergency heat, then scheduled me for first thing in the morning after he finished with his next client. He fixed the problem and even made some improvements to make my system a bit more resilient going forward. He was there all day, so I was expecting an astronomical bill since I had called in an emergency basis. I was pleasantly surprised to see the price was very reasonable. I had actually made that exact repair myself 5 years earlier (Josh said it was a quality issue with the valve and not my handiwork that lead to this failure, and I choose to believe him), so I know the going rate for the valves he used, and I know what the labor was like to install it. They charged a fair markup for the parts and a competitive hourly rate for the labor. And of course, Josh did the work a heck of a lot faster than I did back in 2021. I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of work. I'll definitely be calling Holmes the next time I need any HVAC work done.

When I first became involved with this company, I liked them a lot. But just under 3 years later…read morewhen I sold my house, I saw a very different side of them. I wanted them to pick up their tank that I had been paying $81 per quarter for. They continued to charge me the $81 even though I asked them to pick up their tank because I had apparently agreed to lease the tank from them for 3 full years. Oh well, I guess that's my fault for not reading the fine print when I started buying propane from them. Then, when I asked if they would be refunding me for the unused propane in the tank, they said no. When I objected they again said that provision was also in the lease agreement. So my advice to folks is, don't buy the "we are family" balcony they give you when you sign up and review everything with a fine tooth comb BEFORE you sign anything.

We purchased a home this summer, and as part of the closing process, the seller had a new hot water…read moreheater installed through this company. We received the receipt and installation details at closing, including this company's information. Since moving in, we've experienced ongoing issues with the hot water supply. I am currently 8 months pregnant and unable to take a full hot shower, and my children often end up needing to take cold baths afterward. When I reached out to the company for help, they refused to come out to assess the situation unless I agreed in advance to a $300 service fee. The company is upfront blaming that the hot water heater is simply "undersized for our household needs" instead of checking on it. I've previously owned a home with a similarly sized water tank and never ran out of hot water at all, but regardless, I believe a company should stand by its work--especially when the installation is recent and the unit is still under warranty. At minimum, a basic service check should be offered without demanding a substantial fee upfront or placing the responsibility on the homeowner. The individual I spoke with on two separate occasions was dismissive and unprofessional, and did not take accountability for the situation. The interactions left me feeling uncomfortable and even intimidated to write a review, but I feel it's important to share my experience so others can make an informed decision and find a company that stands behind its work and treats customers with respect.

Empire plumbing was not so good. I won't have them back for any future work and cannot recommend…read more I called to get an estimate, after doing extensive research on my issue/problem. The work I was requesting was an exact match for a job pictured on their website in the gallery of photos and in the 'before and after' section. I had spoken to another company and received a verbal estimate prior to calling empire. I asked for an estimate for a well pressure tank replacement, and knew that includes the pressure switch and T "pack". Was told that there would be a $90 dollar "dispatch/estimate" fee and they could fit me in at the end of the week. I questioned why I needed to pay for an estimate when I knew the exact problem, and solution and offered to send pictures of the job. I also mentioned it was close to the same exact thing (job) shown on their website. The office person explained that every job is different and they, the technician/plumber, needed to put eyes on it for any quote and that costs the fee. I had also asked if I went ahead with the work, would the estimate fee be applied to the work, and I was shocked to hear the response of no.I thought it was strange but scheduled the visit, because I basically didn't have water and I already had one other quote. I was told the tech would be there between 730-830 on the day at the end of the week. I asked if they would call before arrival and was told yes. The following day, it didn't sit right with me that I was paying for an estimate when i knew exactly what I needed, so I called back to ask. I also asked if the tech would be bringing the parts (new tank) with him so he would come prepared in order to reduce the time spent if I went ahead with the work. Keep in mind, my house would have no water during the installation / tank replacement. I also asked what brand tank they use. The person that I spoke with was the same that booked my appointment, She said she would ask both questions and get back to me. she didn't call back the next day, so I gave it until the following day which was the day before the appointment. She said they couldn't waive the estimate fee but if I went with the work and since I was a new customer, they could try to do something. I woke up on the morning of the appointment, earlier than I normally do for work, had the area all cleaned and cleared the night prior and put my pets away close to their arrival time. I had gotten a text at 1 in the morning saying they were on their way? Time was ticking and 730 passed. I got a call from the office saying the tech was sent on an emergency call and so my appointment was bumped back to 10-12 arrival now, instead of the 730-830. So I immediately asked? I won't have to pay for the estimate, right? Being that my appointment got post-poned, I already knew the job, and that I had taken time off from work and had pets for this appointment that was made and confirmed early in the week. She agreed that if I went with them for the job, then they would ask the tech to waive the estimate fee. I got a text at 1053 saying 'on the way' and so I started getting ready again, for the 11-12 arrival. After 45 mins, still no arrival so I called the office. I figured that the text saying on the way, meant they were on the way, or close. I was told they were coming from previous job in Hudson. Okay fine but Hudson is 45 mins from where I live and it had been close to an hour since I got the text. Text was at 10:53 am saying on way. I called into office around 1135. They showed up at 12:17, 1 hour and 24 minutes after the "on the way" text AND late past the arrival window time for the 2nd time after the original postponement. The tech apologized and explained he worked the overnight shift the night before and explained why I got the "on the way" text the night before at 1 am. He had clicked the wrong job the night before. Okay fine. Mistakes happen. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt and start fresh & positive. I explained symptoms and immediately said he didn't need to see it (examples or symptoms) that he would go to truck to write estimate. Came back a short time later with a fixed price. The price was high and wasn't based on hours of labor, and instead was a "fixed price" based on the job. Now that is exactly what I asked for over the phone and the office said they spoke to plumber, office manager, and owner and to tell me they can't do that. Strike 2 or 3 or 4... I had no water, I asked what tank brand they use and he said it varies they couldn't tell me. I had them do the work and it took many many hours, but not of work, of mostly waiting & standing around. They left and left me with 3 new problems. I pointed out the one I saw during the "checkout" and he said he didn't work there or touch that so it wasn't part of the work or responsibility and it absolutely 100% was. I wasted a day off from work and spent hard earned money and am unsatisfied. The next day, no hot water.
