We were listing our home for sale much sooner than anticipated." I received a call Monday morning saying they received my message and they could schedule us that day as they had just had a cancellation that was actually for our area. By 11:00 Am that day the service person, TJ came out and cleaned the AC compressor and gas insert and glass. I was thrilled when I saw how fabulous the fireplace looked. Thank you Colony Heating and Ac and Thank you TJ!

2 years ago in the winter, I awoke to a cold house. I was new to the city, so I called around…read more Colony was the first available. The technician was efficient and the price reasonable. However, due to it being a Saturday, I was charged a $250 weekend service charge. The problem was that drifting snow had blocked the outflow pipe. While the technician was at my home, he received a call from my neighbor experiencing exactly the same thing. The technician advised him to clear his exhaust pipe. No charge. I did not object to the technician's service fee, but felt the weekend fee excessive, especially since my neighbor was treated fairly at NO CHARGE. Colony profited unreasonably and lost my business because of it. Dr. Sisson

I was doing a remodel on our home in Cedar Rapids IA and called 5 local heating and A/C companies -…read moreboth large and small operations. Eric came and was very informative and knowledgeable about what the house size would need and did not try and up-sell any expensive thermostats or any one particular type of furnace or A/C, but instead took the time to fully explain modern operation and controls and which one would qualify for Alliant rebates. Of the 5 bids Eric's bid was very competitive on price and he was able to schedule me in right away. My first impression of Eric is of a very trustable, dependable person. The bid was to replace furnace, A/C and water heater (Power vented gas) and install gas lines to stove and dryer. Installation to start 11/12 August 2020. A large storm moved through Cedar Rapids and knocked out power to the town for 8 days. Rescheduled for 27 Aug. Eric showed up at 0730 Thursday and Friday and with a helper, did the install. Looks good and works great. He took away all the old stuff and left the place very clean. Eric and his assistant were very nice to work with and I would recommend them to anyone as a competitive, competent HVAC / water heater source. Melinda is the contact person for the office and she is very quick to respond to phone calls or emails. The quote she sent was very clear and understandable. Some of the other contractor quotes I received were very limited on information so it was hard to determine from them what the charges were for. With Furnace Pro, I knew what I was paying for and Melinda was very pleasant to talk to about scheduling installation and any rebate / bill questions.

This review reflects my experience as a customer researching different lighting options for a home…read more I have not purchased anything from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery yet, but my partner and I visited last weekend to look at lighting to go above our dining room table. I was very impressed with the show room when we arrived, and it seems like they offer lighting across price ranges - there were a few beautiful pieces on sale that were affordable and seemed like a great value, which really excited both of us! We were greeted immediately when we came in, and the sales associate asked whether there was anything specific they could help us with. Since this was just a looking trip, we declined to be walked through the store, but we were checked on several times and had many of our questions answered throughout our shopping trip by the helpful staff. We're looking forward to returning in a few months when we have a better vision for our dining room and know exactly what we want.

We're so fortunate Ben from Midtown Chimney Sweeps inspected our fireplace…read more In a nut shell, our fireplace is not safe. We are not certified in chimney inspections. When Ben showed me with a flashlight current damage and multiple pictures, I couldn't believe how much deterioration there was. We had a chimney fire in the spring. We burn fire nearly everyday from October to May. We were given a bit of wood to burn in the winter. The fire happened when I started burning the free wood and we chalked it up to the wood. Wrong!!! I learned so much. Ben explained everything! He knows his stuff. He is definitely a professional in his field. Since we did have a fire, he wrote an extensive report for our insurance company. Very professionally written with lots of information and pictures. The work that needs to be done is extensive. Our unique problem is not something they can fix. Besides the inspection fee, they did not and can not gain any additional profit with this inspection. We are so glad we called Midtown Chimney Sweeps.

He came out last fall, knew what he was talking about, gave me a rough estimate, then told me he needed to write it up to make it official. After not hearing back, I emailed Jolene a couple of times. She finally emailed this to me: "David said he cannot send you a bid as he cannot honestly give you a honest bid. He says call him in spring so that he can get up on roof so that he can give you a accurate bid." I copy and pasted this from the email. I called her and told her this is NOT what he just told me the other day! The verbal estimate he gave me included EVERYTHING that could possibly be done! I guess because I live in the historic district, and I told him I wanted him to do it on the spot, he figured he could squeeze more money out of me. Either way, they lied. I ended up using Midtown Sweeps out of Waterloo. The guy is honest, does great work, and the cost was half what David quoted me.

The other two both said they did the same thing, inspect the chimney for safety and if it's ok, clean it. DC Chimney charged $85 and the other charged $130, I scheduled with DC. They got me in within a week. Dave, the owner, came on time, did a thorough check and determined that is was not only safe, but clean. He just charged me $65 for the inspection and offered some free advice. I would definitely use them again.

I contacted Rabe because a family member raved about them. I did not have a similar experience…read more I asked for an estimate to remove an old wood burning heater and then cap and seal the chimney (in a garage). They never came by. I called again, they were going to be in Vinton and could probably come by to check it out. Never heard from them. A few months later, I called and left a message. Nothing. I tried one more time and left a message as the person (not using the name on purpose) in charge of scheduling these types of appointments is always out, probably installing a fireplace. I removed the wood burner myself, it wasn't difficult. Now I need to get a cap on it to stop the rain from coming in. Needless to say, I will not patronize this business after this experience. Apparently, not returning phone calls is the norm around here; some other businesses I have contacted have done the same. Glad they have enough business.
