In early November, I contacted this company to repair my gas fireplace--my primary heat…read moresource--before winter. A technician came out, serviced the unit, and identified the issue: a faulty blower. He provided a quote for the replacement, which I approved immediately. That's when the problems began. Ten days later, I called for an update and was told the part hadn't even been ordered. Another ten days later, I was informed the part wasn't available, but they could try retrofitting a similar one. When I asked if there were other options, they said no--so I agreed. On the scheduled day, I took time off work, only to receive a call 30 minutes after they were supposed to arrive saying they could now order the correct part directly from the manufacturer--something they had previously claimed was impossible. To proceed, I had to pay in full immediately. Fast forward three months, and I still didn't have a working fireplace. For weeks, I was repeatedly told, "It should arrive next week." Finally, after expressing my frustration, I got a call at 5:00 PM saying they had located the part, expedited shipping, and could complete the repair the next day. I took another day off work. The technician arrived--but with the wrong part. Instead of tracking down the actual component, they gave him a universal one that didn't fit. They then assured me the correct part would arrive in two days. This time, my wife took the day off work. The technician showed up an hour and a half late (after I had called and reminded them we had rearranged our schedules for this), but they finally made the repair. Other issues worth noting: I was promised a callback from a manager or owner--still waiting on that. Their phone system is a mess. Every time I was placed on hold (which was often), someone else would pick up and begin a different conversation. I would explain who I was and they would say "oh, let me put you back on park." The three coldest months of winter without my primary heat source, multiple days off work, countless phone calls, and constant misinformation (what my generation would call lies). I will never use this company again.

Submitted a questionnaire to have an HVAC system installed…read more Long story short, Zane at the First Call Jewel team came and we discussed several options that would meet our needs which resulted in a purchase, with options for rebates and tax credits. Solid value for our budget. The technician (Freddy) was competent, hard working, organized, and very personable. If this is the caliber of people and face of First Call Jewel, then you will consistently be blessed with business! Thanks much!

Buyer beware. Advanced Home Services convinced me that my Furnace and AC. needed replaced. They…read morequoted me $16,183. I thought it was high but I expected to get a furnace worth what I paid. Not a GOODMAN. After they installed HVAC system I gathered all model numbers and found retail prices for system. I could have bought this exact system for $4250. Plus labor and refrigerant. Difference of $11933. Divide by 19 hour means Advanced Home Services charged me $628. hour. After many calls and emails later Advanced Home Services agreed to refund $3000. This brought the hourly wage down to $459. hour. Sorry but no HVAC installer is worth $459. hour. Bottom line Advanced Home Systems cheated me out of my hard earned money and they do not care about anybody unfortunate enough to become their customer. I will never fall victim to these PREDATORS again. They are dishonest and cheaters.

He quoted $ 3,000. Just to install two garbage disposals (we had the equipment) he wanted $1700. Just for labor! We said no and went with First St Plumbing. Both installed for under $200!
