Out of the blue our 5+ year old Amana HVAC died while we were out of town. A family member, on my recommendation, called Honest Abe's Osage Beach, MO. The team promptly showed the first thing the following morning. That's why they received the two stars. Their recommendation was a complete new system. Depending on my desires this would run me between $13K and $20K. I chose to get a second opinion. A wise decision indeed. Hence, why no more than two-stars. The installation of new communicating thermostat fixed the problem for less than $800.00. Yes, the thermostat was expensive, but I saved over $12000. GET A SECOND OPINION! I will not recommend Honest Abe's again. Call Scott's in Camdenton instead. read more

I hired this company to come unclog my snick drain at my house and they charged me 458.00 and they didn't even unclog it bc the person that arrived to do the job came with a short sink snake so I had to hire another plumber that came out the next day and he unclogged in 1 hr and only charged 150.00 read more

No stars. Said I needed a new furnace and ac unit, even though ac was running fine a few weeks ago. Got the furnace fixed by Chapman for the cost of a service call, saving me $11,000. Either the guy they sent didn't know what he was doing or they just wanted to take advantage of me. Call someone else. read more

Couldn't get pilot to light. It's a sales pitch gave 6 levels of repair with pricing options first replace gas assembly 1100$ no guarantee or install new water heater 3500$ with service package if paid in full offered pay options with credit check 35$ a month 102 months ? Took exactly 30 minutes to get this quote (probably a sales technique) Paid him 49$ to leave. Went and bought a new water heater 639$ from Home Depot and 200$ to Jeff Webster jr. plumbing in Camdenton originally recommended by my gas company S&L ... it validates that when someone uses a moniker 'Honest' they aren't read more

I live in MO WOW!!!!!! I had a couple of electrical things stop working roughly at the same time and with me working away I didn't have the time to DIY so I called these shysters. I budgeted $600 in my head. 2 guys turned up, spent an hour or so looking around then sent me the quote. Their quotes are weird. Economy quote $5700 (this means no idea what needs doing really but we will dick around for a while and charge you a silly amount of money!), Premium quote $6800 (Same definition as Economy but with bigger laughs on their end), Premium Plus quote $10700 (big laughs, lots of champagne, pretending to be busy and all contractors wearing t-shirts that say 'I'm working for Idiots'). All quotes were not including digging equipment WTF?. Second electrician came by and replaced 1 dead breaker, changed out 1 GFCI socket, reconnected 1 loose wire......$370. HILARIOUS!!!. And finally when my wife said that she would need to speak to me before committing to the total scam quotes they said and I quote "so your husband is the decision maker?". Well....that question totally ended their sales pitch. Do not let these scum bags anywhere near your property, especially around anyone who may be financially vulnerable. read more

this is the second time i used honest Abe's. very professional people. i got emails and calls that kept me up to date when a person was coming. the guys answer all my questions. i would recommend anybody to them. read more

Purchased a new furnace and ac unit in 2022 From Honeat Abes. Compressor in ac condenser went out 13 months after operation 2023. Right after warranty expired. Took over a week to teplace. Very miserable. After another 13 months of operation the replaced compressor went out 2024. Right after warranty expires. So far three days waiting to replace. Both compressors went out during the Hottest time of summer. I would definitely look at a different company than Honest Abes who sells Goodwin units. Carrier or Lennox brands will be my next choice. read more

Foolishly paid $3100 for a dented $459 Home Depot water heater. I feel I was taken advantage of because they knew this was my vacation home and I didn't have time to shop around for plumbers. Pretty sleazy way to do business. read more

Honestly a rip off. Have a small drip in outdoor facet and needed a cartridge installed in bathtub hot water knob. Was quoted between $930-$2500. Not interested in being upsold services I didn't request. Would like to know why you think I'm that I'm that naive to pay those prices. Because I'm female? Because my mother talks slow and pushes a walker? The two service guys were nice, other than that I wasted time and $49 service fee. read more

I called Honest Abe to see if they could pump our septic for us. The company I had used before was scheduling out 2-3 weeks. With family in tomorrow, I was a little stressed. I called Honest Abe and the scheduler, Donna, was very nice! Before the tech arrived, I received a text letting me know he was on his way which included his picture and a short experience bio. I loved knowing who was coming and could put a face with a name. J.T. was very nice, informative and jumped right in! Ok, not literally, but you know what I mean! Probably on the higher end from a pricing perspective but dependable, prompt and professional service... I don't mind paying a reasonable rate! Thanks J.T.! read more

Horrible experience for my family. Ended up having to hire another contractor to fix what honest Abe screwed up.

The most ridiculous service industry at the lake. I wanted 3 attic fans replace. I had all the hardware. Their bid was 4000.00!!! I found a real honest electrician who did it for 500.00. It took him 3 hours. Not so honest Abe is a no. read more

Called them to change my brankers in my braker box told me I need this and that and tried to charge me 5,000$ just to change a set of breakers wouldn't recommend read more

Good work and on time. We needed a plumber to install a water softener, change out the main water entrance, and rough in for new kitchen. Timing was critical. Anthony showed up when expected, did the work expertly, and with no excuses! Even fixed a minor issue remaining from the last plumbing job. It's great to be able to call for near immediate service, but must comment....there is a cost premium for not having to wait. read more

Mike and Tim installed a new HVAC System in our home. They conducted themselves in a very professional manner. They also completed the job much faster than expected. They did a great job. I would recommend this company to our friends. read more

Had a water filtration system supply line that burst and flooded the kitchen. Technician spent about 30 minutes "assessing" and was not sure how to reattach. Told me that the filter might be busted and he could replace. After considerable time figuring the damage and service, he informed me that he could install a new RO (reverse osmosis) system with five year warranty, blah, blah, for... drum roll $3900! When I asked him what it would take to repair just the leak, he took about another 15 minutes to figure it out and then said $600! There's a whole lot more to this story, but I advise you to call an independent, master plumber to get what you need done, not this BS run around and sales pitch! read more

Honest Abe's is not so honest and took advantage of the elderly. My elderly mom had already paid to have her furnace, A/C unit, hot water heater, and water softener replaced when Honest Abe's convinced her to sight up for their "Gold Service" package. After charging her $4,000 for the "Gold Service" package, my mother passed away a few months later. I sold her house immediately and called Honest Abe's for a refund. I was told they don't issue refunds but the service package would transfer to the new owners. What??? So Honest Abe's got to pocket $4,000 without doing any work, nice!!! read more

Wow. So I called Honest Abe's when I was looking for someone to install a water filtering system in my sink. I was tired of doing installations myself and had a budget in mind that I was willing to pay someone else to do something. The office staff was nice but wouldn't give me a quotes unless someone came out. I agreed and a plumber came over the next day. I showed him the filtration system I bought on Amazon for $200 and where to install. A few minutes later he tells me just over $400 to install. I was flabbergasted as I knew it would take less than an hour to install. He was shocked that I argued at the cost and asked how much I expected to pay, when I said less than $150 he stated that no one would do it for that much! I told him I was not going to pay $400 and he left. Thankfully the quote was free! I then called a licensed handyman and he installed it for $40!!! Save your money and don't call this place! read more

On 10/17/2023 I called Honest Abe's to come take a look at my furnace as it was blowing air but not hot air. I was assigned an HVAC technician Tim Woody. Mr Woody was friendly once he greeted me and went to take a look at my furnace. Mr. Woody quickly came to the realization that my furnace and condenser should be replaced because they were 15 years old and just couldn't be fixed. I knew this was a red flag because there was nothing wrong with my condenser. Mr. Woody proceeded to give me 4 different payment options the highest totalling up to $15,877 and the lowest around $12,000. Mr. Woody asked which one I'd like to go with and I told him I'd be getting 2 more bids. His entire demeanor then changed. He used my children against me saying what are you going to do with the cold weather coming and the kids being in the house? He clearly was not happy that I wouldn't agree to an absurd contract right on the spot. Needless to say an hour later I had another HVAC company come and they fixed the issue quickly and for only a $90 service call. Mr Woody is a crook and tried pulling on my strings to sign an atrocious contract to replace something not needing replaced so he could benefit on a bonus in his pocket. HIGHLY AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST. They practically scammed me out of a $100 service call and attempted to scam me for over $12,000 at the least! read more

One of three bids. Salesman friendly, Tries to upsell other services. Called on private number no name or call back number given. The bid was higher than LENNOX best 25 SEER unit. read more

I call Honest Abe's late in the afternoon to get a quote for work at my home. Tim came out that same afternoon. He listened to what I needed done and recommended some items I hadn't even considered. They came out the next day, based on my schedule. All of the work was done professionally and to my complete satisfaction. Will definitely call again when in need. read more

I called because of a leak in our utility room. I was told it was a clogged drain in the shower. The tech cleaned the drain and the problem seemed to be fixed but when we came back to our lake house a couple of weeks later we discovered the water was coming from the AC drain hose. We had to have another service call from another service to find that problem and then an AC company. We were charged $250 for the call from Honest Abe's and then really didn't fix the problem. read more

Far From Honest! Called Honest Abe's to come check a new central A/C install because installer was too busy to get right back out; without pressure testing or even fully inspecting the service guy said he needed to replace the coil (the unit); it is a brand new install; got installer on the phone during Abe service guys visit and he told us to send the guy away; he was trying to scam us and the installer agreed to come back out pressure test line and solder leak in copper line. read more

I had an outside faucet freeze up when I returned to the Lake for the spring. They responded in a reasonable amount of time and informed me what it would require to repair.
