Just had my electrical inspection done the other day. I do live the people Michael & Son hires! They must have some strict hiring practices to only end up with the best. Not once have I had one of their technicians come out and not only be professional and understanding; but each and every one honestly enjoys what they're doing. Linus Thornton was the perfect example of this. Halfway through the day, and he seemed like he was just starting it fresh! I love to see people don't what they love. He did a great job with the insurrection. And explained everything he saw in layman's terms thankfully. Hope to see him for the next! read more

We have used Michael & Son Service once before for some work in our home, so when the power went out in our Barndo/Shop where we run our at home business, we called Michael & Son. When I called to make an appointment, I spoke with the scheduling service representative. This person was very kind while I explained the electrical needs of the Barndo/Shop. The wiring in the shop is not for a new electrician. While speaking with the representative, I asked if they could come out between 03JAN2026 and 05JAN2026 because there was no power to the building. The representative said the could send someone today (03JAN2026) between the hours of 3:30pm - 6:00pm. I asked if this was a regular appointment, and not an emergency appointment because I didn't want to pay the extra fee and the representative said this was a regular appointment. I accepted the appointment, and he assured me everything was annotated and an experienced electrician would be out today. Perfect! Several hours later, I get a call at 3:30pm from Michael & Son dispatch office and I am asked if a newer electrical person would be able to come out to my residence because they don't have an experienced electrician available today. I explained that would not work. She apologized and said she will have to reschedule me. I explained to the dispatcher I was fine with rescheduling but it needed to be by Monday. She said their next available appointment was in 10 days. I asked the dispatcher why was I told they had availability today when in fact they don't? She said it is a scheduling service and they always overbook. She further explained she could have an experienced electrician come out as an emergency, but there would be a $170.00 fee. I told the dispatcher this was not acceptable, and the fee should be waived. She said she could not waive the fee as she has tried before, but her supervisor can't approve it. I responded, "can't or won't?" She didn't respond. The amount of hours wasted waiting for our appointment to begin, only to be canceled at the projected appointment timeframe, is time I can't get back. I could have hired a different company today had I known Michael & Son wouldn't be able to fulfill the job. I am well aware the dispatcher has no control over the extra fees charged by the company, nor does the dispatcher have control over the scheduling company. This is not an issue with the dispatcher at all, she is only the messenger. She was very kind and apologetic. My issue is with the higher ups/supervisors. If your scheduling company is overbooking, and making promises you can't keep, then you all need to fix it or find a different scheduling company. To have a returning customer call you in their time of need, and then bail on that customer is problematic. Additionally, to not admit you all screwed up, and then still demand an emergency charge to be dispatched, that is diabolical. That is not how you keep customers. As a result, I will not use you all again. Your company made a mistake, and can't stand by their word. You all made an appointment, and didn't follow through. You blamed the scheduling company you all hired, you know they have problems and yet you continue to utilize them. Then, when the mistake happens on your watch, you refuse to waive an emergency fee to the customer in need as a good faith apology. That is not ethical. A company is only as good as their word. A customer will continue to return when they are treated with respect. A customer will also return when a company admits a mistake, and then fixes it. This is Customer Service 101. Michael & Son, you have failed that course. read more

Work was good, but price was too high! Was never given an estimate. Check out price was crazy, was never given an answer to where the water leak was. I want to be reimbursed for the check out time. read more

Michael & Son has been really great so far helping my husband and I sort out a water damage issue in our finished basement caused by a leaking / defective hose bib. Joshua the electrician troubleshot all the wall sockets and appliances, light switches, etc., ensuring wiring was operational and nobody would have to worry about being electrocuted. Peter removed the damaged hose bib and replaced it with an upgrade - far less likely to be damaged by cold weather - specially designed to not freeze or crack. Kimberly and her team - led by Marquis - have been working to remediate mold, mildew, and flooring and drywall that got wet, and now we are waiting on our claims adjuster to see the site so we can get it restored. Thank you to all at Michael and Son. read more

See all

They charged me $1900.00 to put a new faucet in. That did include a faucet. But it is still about $1000 more than I should have been charged. read more

You can't go wrong with Michael & Son. The professionalism friendly knowledgeable service will give you a peace of mind.

My last experience with this company was less than stellar, but Brian J. was fantastic! he explained all the issues he noted during the plumbing inspection in great detail, answered all my questions and even stayed longer to fix a leak. read more

The technician came for the air conditioning service. He did a thorough job with each checkpoint. He cleaned the motors and fins of the AC. He is professional and knowledge! Good communication and service overall! read more

Great quality, value, and customer service. Linus was personable and professional. Appreciated his being thorough in providing the service.

Nicholas as fantastic. Arrived in the time window and got to work making sure the system was in good shape. Recommended a chemical cleaning of the outside system as it is near the dryer vent and has a tendency to get coated in lint. An ounce of prevention... This is the company that installed the system two years ago so they were very familiar with the operation of it. Nicholas was part of the team that did the install and reminded me he had been in training at that time. I mentioned that the install team was supposed to divert the dryer vent to avoid the buildup of lint on the system. Nicholas assured me he would bring that to the attention of the management. read more

Michael & Son is my go to company. I love the care, compassion, and genuine concern shown by their technicians. I few months ago we had an issue with a leak in the kitchen. Jose S. was the technician who responded, he was knowledgeable and friendly during the service call. Jose S. not only repaired the issue at hand but he educated us on other potential issues. The recommendation was valuable and will save us time and money in the long run. The value of the level of service provided is priceless. We were happy to see Jose S. return and finish the recommendation. Michael & Son is a great company. I would highly recommend the home maintenance plan. read more

Faucet replaced and further water damage prevented by prompt service from Michael and Son. I phoned yesterday on Sunday. Today, Monday, Presidents Day, Betrand Anucheagaleh came and did an excellent and timely job replacing the old faucet. He was kind, thorough, efficient, and very pleasant to work with. He also reduced the final cost with discounts he found. Well done, Betrand and Michael and Son. Thank you. read more

Luis and Scarlett were top notch professionals and walked us through our inspection with detailed explanations and recommendations! I highly recommend this company. read more

The techs. had a rough start this morning trying to navigate the snow and ice storm we just had so I was so happy they came out. In spite of the ice packed sidewalks and driveways they were both very professional and personable. They answered all my questions so that I could better understand the heating system. They quickly diagnosed the unit and made repairs . I really appreciated them getting out here this morning . read more

Michael & Son performed high-voltage electrical work at my home in October 2025 without obtaining legally required permits. * Safety Violation: They installed a 16-amp bidet on a shared 15-amp circuit, creating a fire hazard and causing total power failures on my 3rd floor during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. * Failed Inspection: The work failed county inspection on Jan 2 because it was performed in an illegal state and then concealed by drywall due to their 60-day administrative delay. * Financial Impact: I am out $950 in cash for their errors, plus a $3,000 debt for work that nullified my new home builder's warranty. * Unprofessional: When confronted with the permit violation, the electrical manager yelled at me and hung up. David was great though, good man. read more

Fast service.. But parts are truly over priced...I had a Capacitor go bad in my A/C, they charged me well over $300 for a part that cost less then $16 direct from warehouse... I don't mind spending money for good service, but that's a crazy price difference.. read more

My confidence is quickly waning in Michael and Sons. I'm supposedly waiting on a part and it's now going on 2wks and no update. Is it possible for a business to ghost you because that's what this feels like and with winter already showing its teeth, this is not looking good or feeling good. read more

Samer was very punctual and listened to the issues for the service call. He was receptive to my concerns, informative about the reason for the problem, thorough in troubleshooting all possible reasons, and very skilled in correcting the problem. I hope you're all fortunate enough to have Samer if you have a plumbing problem. read more

We had a leak from our indoor unit mounted in an attic space. The unit had not been serviced since installation some years prior. We planned on having the outdoor unit serviced as well. Nicholas was polite & professional. He saved us money by suggesting a service contract which included periodic servicing. Would recommend this company and this tech. read more

Great customer service. The technician fully explained every possible problem to prevent in the future.

The technician was friendly and courteous. However, I was told the $69 "diagnosis" fee would be deducted from the final price if I went ahead with the service, and as far as I can see from the invoice it wasn't. And, worse than that, the problem isn't fixed. The tech fixed the worn out hot water stem but there's also a leak from the cold water side. So it seems he didn't even look at that side. Not hiring them again. read more

Brian profesional and customer oriented. Very knowleadgeable. A very detail inspection

Linus was very helpful and knowledgeable. His assistance was unmatched. He was on time and very professional.

The technician conducted a thorough plumbing inspection, an in depth estimate on some upcoming upgrades, and some repair work I requested. Her attention to detail and quality of work were exemplary. Courtesy shown in her attitude and speech were highly professional. Thank you for an outstanding job read more

Descaling Tankless water heater. Found out that our water heater is electric and it might have to be taken apart in order to service it. I appreciate all the information that James Moorman was able to provide. He even answered questions pertaining to other plumbing concerns I had. Thanks for getting out here in a timely manner. Your service was greatly appreciated. We're apart of the Gold service plan that made the cost of the visit free. It's a plan worth having. read more

He did a great job of explaining everything and gave me pointers for the future! It was pricey but the education was worth it. read more

Ian Bundick did the Spring maintenance checkup for my HVAC system. Ian was efficient, professional and well versed in my AC system. He explained what was done and made recommendations to replace the dual duty capacitor. I was very impressed with him and hope to see him for future inspections. read more

I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in Michael & Son's service today by Ian Bundick. I will write an official letter explaining why. I also expressed my dissatisfaction at great length with the after hours messenger Meagan tonight at 9:15pm. Ian Bundick did not address the issue & made it worse. After he left, I just noticed water BUBBLING UP from the top of my furnace. Again, I am not a satisfied customer and the MANY YEARS of being a loyal customer of Michael & Son & ALL the business & money my poor dead husband (recently deceased) & I have given. I JUST had you guys install a new water heater of $4,000!!! And I opened up a credit line with you. I'm utterly UPSET with Michael & Son. read more

The technician came out and performed his work perfectly. We love Michael & Son. They always do amazing work at great prices.

Linus provided a detailed inspection and gave great tips to keep our HVAC unit in premium conditio.

Repairman spent more time, trying to sell upgrades or new equipment, than he did tuning up the HVAC. My wife was the beneficiary of his sales pitches, telling her how HUGE the problems could be, if we don't spend a lot of money, replacing old parts that had not yet failed. I imagine unsuspecting homeowners go for this regularly. read more

I had an issue with the sump pump not cutting off. Marlon was great at explaining the cause of the issue and helped me resolve the issue promptly! Not only was he knowledgeable, he was also very courteous. All the staff I spoke to on the phone were also very nice. Would recommend! read more

As that I get older, my downtime is important to me. Sometimes I would rather pay someone to do a repair than to do the repair myself. I know how to change the cartridge in a showerhead and replace the faucet, but I just did not want to spend the time to do it so I called them. they quoted over $2000. Outrageous. I went to lowe's. and got two cartridges for the two showers. I did the work myself in four hours for less than $100 that's equivalent to $475 an hour plus or minus, As far as I'm concerned, it's taking advantage of people that are unable to do the work themselves. I called them for a leak on the faucet and I knew it was the cartridge that was causing it but they wanted to charge me $183.44 to diagnose it. They also wanted to charge me $1121.96 to reinstall the handle after they put the cartridge in along with the shower-head, which is already mounted, and did not need to be moved or handled at all. Highly disappointed in their quote. read more

Very knowledgeable and helpful fixing what other company did wrong. Customer service is the best I have experienced.

Pleasant to deal with from first phone call. Service Rep, Ian patiently explained each portion even tho in the end unable to help my out dated unit. But he followed up quickly with a possible solution which will be given complete free overview in a few days. The only negative is they do not work with home/household warranty. But the end result just may be the better solution. I will have a better idea on Tuesday. PS the service call & diagnostic is not much more than the deductible the home warranty expects. Even if the home warranty does not reimburse me, i feel Michael & Sons was a great choice to diagnose my HVAC. read more

This was an appointment for an annual check up of my AC system. Linus Thornton arrived on time and jumped into his task.
