We were solar rookies and had never seen a solar panel in real life before, though we had done…read moreresearch for well over a year and a lot of calculations. We did a lot of research before we decided on Beyond Solar. They were one of 7 companies we got quotes from. Even after having visited many websites and gotten some quotes we were not really sure. However, after having asked them tons of questions and gotten good answers, we felt that their company was the one we felt most comfortable with. Before we made up our minds, I went to one of their clients and got a run-down on his experience and he was very pleased. They were not the lowest in terms of price, but among the best priced. However, they offered a wide range of options and customization and help that we felt very comfortable with them. We factored in price, know-how and interest to help us. The install crew was very professional and polite and even cleaned up everything after themselves and were very knowledgeable and meticulous about everything. They also brought a gas-driven power generator to keep our fridge/freezer and other things powered up while they had the mandatory down time to install the inverter. Overall, we're very happy with them and can totally recommend them for solar power installations.

The price was comparatively to all the others, but, they gave me many options I hadn't considered. I asked for a couple of quotes ranging from a simple replace to "Gimme some WOW!" . I was so impressed with the earnestness and obvious pride in what they do as Jason explained the process and different features offered, they jumped to the top of the list. I did my follow up research and after reading the positive reviews I found online and through social media, I went with them and also on the "WOW". Once scheduled, it was completed in very short order. Every crew member was polite, knowledgeable and quick! I went from a 24" square PLASTIC dome to an amazing 48" square clear glass, remote controlled solar, venting show piece! I had plans to remodel the master bath already, but, this is has made an incredibly great jumping off point!

I had The Sunshine Boys come out to quote two new skylights in our home. On the day of the visit,…read morewe were told that the quote would be emailed directly. After two weeks, I called the office to inquire about our quote and was told 'someone would call us back today'. I received no call. I followed up again the next day and was told that 'I'd be bumped to the top of the list'. Again, no call back. I asked on my second call if someone else could simply forward the quote along. I was told no. I spoke to the same person both days and neither time were they particularly helpful. In fact, on both occasions, I was left to feel as though I was an inconvenience. Perhaps small residential jobs aren't a priority, but a return phone call would be helpful.

Winter 2016, I noticed my HVAC system was not heating my home as efficiently as it used to,…read moreespecially compared to winter 2015, which was a much colder winter with multiple single-temp days. What to do but schedule an appointment with the same folks who fixed my HVAC last time, McBroom Air. Houston McBroom, owner of McBroom Air, came to my home about 2.5 years ago when I was having the exact opposite problem (detailed in my original review below). It was summer 2012 and my HVAC was not producing cold air. Houston quickly diagnosed the problem, replaced a capacitor, and I was up and running again. I was very pleased with the service. Unfortunately, my problem wasn't so simple this time around. My 12-year-old International Comfort Products HVAC system had finally bitten the dust. The inner coil on my air handler had leaked my system almost completely out of refrigerant. The coil was visibly icing up. Houston took readings and my refrigerant levels were down to about 5 to 10 psi. A fully charged system would read about 65 psi. Since the part (coil) was no longer in production by the manufacturer (as of around summer 2014 according to Houston), I could not have just the part replaced. Therefore, my two options according to Houston were: 1. Install a new heat pump, air handler, and heater package. Quote: $4,800. 2. Install a new air handler and heater package. Quote: $3,000 (approx.). I asked Houston what he thought about recharging my system. He did not recommend it and I don't blame him. If he recharged my system, there was no telling how long the charge would last before most of the refrigerant would leak out again. For years, I had experienced this same exact problem at another property. Also, the cost of the refrigerant required for my system (R-22) skyrocketed in recent years because the EPA is phasing out the stuff. R-22 is no longer produced nor imported into the United States for environmental reasons. The new standard is R-410A. I decided to go with option 1 for the simple reason of long-term comfort and savings. A brand new inner and outer unit would be quieter and more energy efficient. The new system will eventually pay for itself in savings on my monthly electric bills over a number of years (I think Houston said 7 years). It's worth it to me. In summer 2009, I had Estes Air replace an approximately 8-year-old heat pump and air handler for about $4,000 at a different property. The outer coil on that system developed a leak early on (in hindsight, probably still under the warranty period). I had to get the system recharged about once per year until the leak got so bad the system could barely hold a charge. Estes replaced that old, broken-down system with a new 2-ton 13-SEER Payne heat pump, air handler, heating elements, and thermostat -- basically, all the same equipment I needed from McBroom. Houston recommended a 2-ton 14-SEER Carrier system, slightly bigger and more efficient than the one I had installed by Estes at my other place. After talking to Houston and agreeing to pay upfront in cash, he was willing to work with me on the final package. I appreciated his willingness in that regard. I think we both ended up happy with the installation. I also got a new builder-grade Honeywell programmable thermostat. Houston came out to diagnose my system on a Tuesday and I had my new system installed by the end of the day the following Thursday. Talk about a quick turnaround time! For my Tuesday and Thursday appointments, Houston showed up at my front door on the dot. Very punctual. The diagnosis appointment took about 1.5 hours, but it probably would have been shorter if I didn't ask so many questions. I was charged $79 for that visit. $79 is McBroom's standard trip charge. That $79 was later deducted from the price I paid for the new HVAC system installation. The installation appointment was at 8:30am and the guys finished around 2:30pm with no breaks, a solid 6-hour job. They left my home in basically the same condition they had entered it in. It was a clean install. They did not make a mess or damage anything. They laid down drop cloths on my floor from the front door all the way to the closet where the air handler was located. In addition to that, Houston wore protective coverings over his shoes. Houston brought along his coworker and fellow technician Erick for this job. Together, they and Houston's wife Heather, pretty much form the entire company of McBroom Heating and Air. Needless to say, this is a small, family owned and operated, "mom and pop" business. They've been around since 2003. If you need any HVAC work done in metro Atlanta and want to support small local business, schedule an appointment with McBroom. I've dealt first-hand with Houston, Heather, and Erick, and they are all very friendly and personable. I'm not sure you'd always get that kind of genuinely hospitable service from one of the bigger companies around town. Thank you, Houston, Heather, and Erick. You guys rock!

I'm a very happy customer and will have reliable heat this winter spoiled with lower electric/gas cost along with cleaner air. Thank you for the wonderful service and will recommend you all day long. You rock!!

Emerson Home Services did an outstanding job on my recent roof replacement. For starters, Shay…read moreDowney really went to bat for me with my insurance company. Initially, the insurance was only going to pay for a partial roof replacement along with some ceiling repairs, but after Shay worked his magic, they not only agreed to reroof the whole thing, but they also agreed to redeck it as well. The roof replacement actually took place today, and I couldn't be happier with the results! First of all, Adam Chastain, who oversaw everything, is awesome at what he does. He's great at communicating and was easy to get in contact if I needed anything. Best of all, he guided his team to do top-notch work for me at every phase of the job...from the decking installation, to the drip edges on the rake edges and the eave edges, flashing around the dormers, to the actual installation of the shingles themselves, and more. Additionally, Adam had his team do a couple of things that weren't even called for in the contract like replacing the decrepit flashing around my chimney and having them seal and repair a leaky attic window that had been the source of a lot of water damage in the past. Furthermore, the crew themselves were hard working, skilled, and super friendly. I genuinely couldn't be any more pleased with my roof replacement. I'm really glad I went with this company, and I'm now recommending them to a good friend of mine who's also in the market for a roof replacement.

Bar the door if you see these idiots coming. The owner Michael is incompetent.

He has ruined our office by installing equipment completely inappropriate to the space. They say the biggest difference between HVAC systems is the installation, not the equipment. I believe it.

Let me start by saying I called several electricians before finding them on Yelp, and I was not pleased with the others, but I digress this isn't about the others! From the very start I called at about 8pm on a Tuesday my phone call was answered right away. I was greeted with a pleasant voice and she was eager to help and hear what my concerns were. So I'm not an electrician so I explained the best way I could... lol probably wasn't the best but she got my point. She explained that they were already booked for the next day but asked if she could schedule me for Thursday. Of course I said yes! Now here is where they won me over. She explained that she had already left the office for the night but said if I would text her the info she would contact me when she got back in the next morning. Ok fair enough. Well the next day not only was I contacted to confirm the Thursday appointment, I was given a time window of arrival, sent a confirmation, and told the tech would call me about 30 mins before arrival. I confirmed our time frame and waited for our appointment the next day. So today, Thursday (our appointment day), I had to go to work and was disconnected in meetings. When the tech was on the way he tried to call. Well guess what? I didn't answer the phone ( several phone calls might I add) and I just knew they had cancelled my appointment! But NOPE! They texted me and asked if we were still on! I snuck and texted in the meeting and confirmed that someone was home and they could proceed with the appointment. The technician arrived and did some troubleshooting, gave my husband some scenarios of what he thought the problem was and what the fix would be! But wait! All of this cost ZERO DOLLARS!!! He then gave my husband the price (a very reasonable price) of the repairs, my husband texted me and we agreed on the repairs! He completed the repairs and tested everything worked properly before leaving! Literally the most stress free and pleasant experience with a home repair!!! Book them you won't be disappointed!

We have video of their "water test" where water was sprayed directly into the chimney cap vents, which is not a realistic test of rainfall. An independent chimney inspection later found no issues. We also have documentation from pest control showing missing drip edge that may explain how animals gained access. This company did not properly stand behind their work or provide a consistent, honest assessment of the problems after installation. I would strongly caution homeowners to look elsewhere.
