Absolutely fraudulent practices: They put a "call for free quote" advert on their website. I called…read morethem to come and look at my heat pump and give me a quote. Their quote was unclear (They just gave me the price of a new unit + labor but they did not say what the labor cost would be). Other outfits did and I went with another outfit with a cheaper and much clearer quote. Then, they hit me with an invoice!. When I disputed it, Their response was that they gave me a service and the "free quote only applies when you put in a new unit". Yet, they did not say that on their website. Steer clear of this outfit!!

First of all, his quote came in approx $2000 below the next nearest quote (he installed Carrier products, so very well rated and established). We actually got six different quotes, and his was by far the best. Second, even though he works on his own, he is the most dedicated and conscientious tradesman we have ever dealt with! He took approx a week remove our old furnace; replace duct work; install the new heat pump and pad; and change out our existing thermostat. Third, he explained everything (numerous times!) in layman's language, and made everything easy to understand. He was so patient and approachable. He kept us up to date on exactly he was doing every single day, and gave us options where they were available. If you have any HVAC, heating, air conditioning, furnace, fireplace, or other "heat control" questions or concerns, make sure you get a quote or talk to James at ProTemp Control. We can't recommend him enough! Thank you James!

I had called this company at least five times to fix Toilet valves, Taps and tub valves. Yes, they…read morecame out and fast fixed the problem. They gave me bills of two to $300 each time. Each time it was a different plumber, older guys that looked like they were experienced and honest. Now I wonder about that. I had to call him twice for one toilet to come out the second time and twice for a shower to come out a second time to fix the leak They just fixed weeks earlier. I figured it was the luck of the draw all my stuff was leaking until I found out why. The valves were leaking because the pressure reducing valve leading into the house was blown and the was 120 psi pressure instead of the normal 50 to 65 psi pressure. Not one guy from Norm's checked the pressure of the water coming into the house, would've found out the pressure reducing valve was blown, causing all these leaks. Apparently, these valves should be tested every 3 to 5 years and replaced if they're leaking. I did not know this because I come from a part of the country that do not use pressure reducing valves. I Called ServiceXCEL once and they spotted the problem right off the bat and brought it to my attention
