Feral Affairs Network (FAN) wants to give a shout out to Jason Parker with Parker Electric…read more Jason updated the electricity in FAN's Rescue and Recovery Center by installing a 240 line and new circuit box strictly for the Center; he ran a separate outlet for the air conditioner; he installed a new heater which will keep the cats warmer in cold weather; and he put in a brighter, more energy efficient light in the attached outdoor catio. Jason graciously gave us a extremely friendly nonprofit discount on his labor! If you need electrical work done, call Jason at Parker Electric. Feral Affairs Network (FAN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization helping address the overpopulation of community, or feral, cats in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Our goal is to trap, neuter (and vaccinate) and return feral cats to their home environment while providing support to the community caretakers who feed and look after the colonies. Ultimately, our work results in happy, healthy and safe communities for cats. The FAN volunteer team works to reduce the overpopulation and suffering of community cats. Through our work, we also provide much-needed relief to overcrowded municipal animal shelters and easing taxpayer burdens.

I had a surprise issue this morning with the electrical panel with all the breakers. It was making…read moresnapping noises as all the lights flickered in the house. Pretty scary with no idea exactly what was going on. I rolled the dice and called cole's based on the other Yelp reviews as well as post on the website. My first impression was positive as the dispatcher that I called was concerned and also informative. She gave me a good idea of the work already on their schedule and when they could arrive. We shared a laugh about the local roads nearby and just really connected from the first minute. When Jay and Seth arrived they were both very professional. In a matter of minutes I had explained what happened they asked some critical questions so they could start their analysis and they dug in. They tested each of the switches in my panel, they checked outside at the electrical meter to see if my power company was the problem, and they ultimately decided that one of the breakers was bad. At that point they were able to show the buzzing that indicated the breaker was bad. We tested by applying load with different appliances in the house. Everything worked out and the job was done. Total cost was less than $300 which is a great price for any electrical visit but most importantly matched what I was supposed to expect. They also were responsive and quickly scrambled to my service call with limited delay

We purchased an existing house 4 years ago which had a dual-fuel HVAC system. I contacted the…read morecompany I used for many years at our old house which I was very happy with but, they didn't seem to understand the system. I did a little research of reviews for HVAC companies in Chesapeake and found Simmons had great ratings. I found quickly why they had 5-stars! My previous HVAC contractor had been out twice and I was left with, " you need a new thermostat" and left with a cold house. That's when I found Simmons. They were very responsive and were out within 8 hours. The technician was very polite, professional and explained everything about the system (since I was unfamiliar with a dual-fuel system). He identified the problem and made the necessary repairs quickly. Having had a great experience then, I put the system under contract with them. Since then they have not let me down. They have kept my system in excellent condition. This week I suddenly had an issue with heat. Called and had a technician here within 3 hours. He got the system working but the next day I had the same issue and on one of the coldest days the system was out again. I called after hours and within 15 minutes had a call back from the on-call tech who said he would be here in 20 minutes. He was. The problem was so minute, a loose connection, but trouble shooting that was a pain for him, but he found the problem within 15 minutes. Simmons is my only HVAC system contractor. I know the age of the existing system and understand it only has a few years left in it. I feel confident that Simmons will keep it running great and when the dreaded day comes, it will be Simmons technicians installing a new system.

My AC is running normally now, I purchased an annual maintenance plan, not only out of an abundance of caution, but because I really like this company, they are everything that I had hoped they would be based on the commercials that I've heard!

After dealing with recurring drain backups for years, I had several companies come out to inspect…read morethe problem. Unfortunately, most of them would simply snake the line and move on without determining the actual cause. Recently, the issue became much worse. The drain was moving extremely slowly, and water began overflowing. I called Kellam, and their team responded quickly. What impressed me most was that they didn't rely on guesswork. Instead, they performed a camera inspection of the drain line to identify the root cause of the problem. I'm very thankful they did because they discovered years of buildup in the line, as well as a broken section of the pipe that had been contributing to the ongoing issues. Their technicians took the time to explain everything clearly and helped me develop a practical plan to clear the drain and install a pump system to improve water flow and prevent future problems. I've trusted Kellam with my HVAC needs for years, and now I'm equally impressed with their plumbing department. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to finding real solutions set them apart from other companies I've worked with. If you're looking for a reputable, honest, and knowledgeable company, I highly recommend Kellam. They have earned my trust once again.

He expertly installed all three fans, and more importantly ensured the fans were secure and safe in the ceilings. You get what you pay for, and this was worth every penny.

I called Pride Mechanical on Sunday and left a message on their non emergency voicemail. They called me first thing Monday morning, and we set up an appointment for a timeframe that worked with my fairly busy schedule for that day. Really convenient. Got a text saying they were on their way about 5 minutes after the 3 hour appointment window started. They were at my home in like 20 minutes after receiving the text. The inside of my house was kind of messy, but they didn't even need to come inside. They were able to go straight to my units and start their diagnostics less than 3 minutes after arriving at my home. Within about 15 minutes they had successfully figured out and fixed the problem. I could not have asked for a better experience. I was very grateful and impressed. The technicians were polite, friendly (and not aggressively friendly if you know what I mean), and did a great job discussing my HVAC system and answering my questions without getting overly technical or insulting my intelligence by being overly basic.
