I needed to replace a heat pump, an A/C and a furnace. I called Duvall's and spoke to the owner Mr. Duvall. I asked him several questions and he gave me the feeling that he ran a business that would serve me well. The next day, Jay came to the house and assessed the situation and provided me an email the next day with an estimate. I also called the company that i had been doing business for the last ten years and asked them for an estimate. This is a National Company. A spoke to a person on the phone who was inexperienced and misinterpreted my request....she was going to send not an estimator, but a technician the next day to service my equipment. I again told her I wanted an estimator and she set it up the next day. Well the next day, no one showed. So I called the office and spoke to their Service Manager and he admitted someone dropped the ball. So the next day, they did send an estimator. Well he was supposed to be an estimator but he was really a huckster. Before he left my house he said the cost would be 25% more than the cost Jay quoted me. Then he said he would give me 10% off because I was a veteran. Then he would take another 10% off because my wife was a teacher. Then he would take another 10% off because I was retired. I said.....just send me a written estimate. Then he says.....let me come by tomorrow with a contract for you to sign, I said.....just send me an email with an estimate. After 10 days or so, I never did get an estimate and I called Duvall's and told them they had the job. A few days later Jay came out and installed the systems in two days. The price was about where the national company ended up after giving me 10% off a few times. Could I have negotiated with Jay to have a few hundred dollars knocked off?......maybe.......but I was more than satisfied that I had found someone who was not out to screw me. Jay did most of the work himself, he was efficient and clean, he kept me informed where there was something i should know as the homeowner, he always arrived when he said he would and I am confident I made the right choice. read more
