We will continue to use him even without our home warranty service - he's that awesome! Highly recommend Miguel Somethings to point out: 1). I too needed an invoice for work that was done. Old Republic does not require invoices from the companies they contract through. They themselves do not provide any sort of invoice or receipt. 2). Home warranty companies will replace your items with something cheaper, this is always the case. I had a decent kitchen faucet that had to be replaced. The warranty company could only provide something generic and cheap so I bought a new faucet and installed it myself with their payout. It's not

I would recommend them and honestly these will be the only people I use for water heater issues from here on out! The best!

Since i don't really know anything about hot water heaters i wanted to feel comfortable enough that i wasn't going to get taken advantage of when it came to what i needed and the price. I can hands down say they are not only honest but extremely reliable as well! I couldn't help but be impressed by the great reviews! Plus they said they could come in earlier so i could leave on time the next day! They gave excellent service, repaired my water heater easily, and treated me with respect. I will definitely use them in the future if needed again.

I was looking for a retrofit from flourescent to LED for my kitchen as the ballasts finally reached…read moretheir end life. I reached out to multiple vendors (including the diamond directory) and most of them suggested to replace the entire fixture itself ($800+). I suggested a ballast bypass to which I was rebuffed multiple times or just declined outright. I figured it just wasn't worth the hassle and decided to look from someone to just replace the ballast and keep the exiting tubes. I reached out to Jesse at All In Electric to where he stopped by the same day to do an assesement and quote. It took Jesse one look and not even one minute and said he can change out the ballasts no problem but he suggested I do a ballast bypass to LED which is what I was looking to do in the first place and quoted me a much more reasonable price then the other vendors. Jesse came back 2 days later and had the bypass and new LED lights up and running in 40 minutes. Very pleased with his workmanship and I cannot stress how friendly and professional he is.

What a great find! One of my breakers kept tripping and…read morestaying in the off position, of course this happens days before Thanksgiving (eyeroll). My old electrician moved far away so I've been on the lookout for a new one for awhile but not urgently until this breaker issue. So in desperate searches, I contacted many electricians through the Yelp request-a-quote function and heard from Several of them who either had ridiculous hourly rates or were booked up until after the holiday weekend (most of them were super nice). Because Juan didn't really give me any additional information in his initial response (like pricing, availability, etc), beyond it would need in-person troubleshooting, I totally forgot about him. As I was sitting my living room with extension cords running all over the place from other rooms with working power, I figured I should contact him again, not really expecting a response (on Thanksgiving morning-sorry). Well he replied within a couple minutes and was at my house in 2 hours with his son-- I forgot his name but he was very sweet and patient as he is learning the trade from his dad. Juan identified and fixed the problem in maybe 15 minutes! He answered all of my questions and explained the problem/process to me in the frigid cold. He gave me a great "last-minute-on a holiday morning-super cold outside" rate. This was an "easy" fix so I don't know about larger jobs but I will definitely be in contact for future work, of which I have much. I feel lucky to have found Novus/Juan, I'd recommend him!

Caveat emptor on Yelp!…read more You're in great hands with Kris and Beale Mechanical, but I can't say the same for all five-star-rated establishments on Yelp. [[[OTHER COMPANY: When our 35-year-old Day & Night heater finally died on the coldest days last fall, the need was urgent and I quickly found a different establishment that came and installed a Goodman heater in a couple of days. The service tech arrived three hours late, complained that our heater, 20 feet away from parking, was a hassle to reach, and was generally rude, and even apparently broke our ladder. ]]] Our new heater was as loud as a jet plane and when I discovered our gas bill had doubled, I decided to do something about it and called Kohler, where Bill, who was too busy, referred us to Kris at Beale. THANK YOU! BEALE: Within an hour of my talk with Kris at Beale, Rich was at our house. Very respectful and pleasant. Without slamming any previous work, Rich fixed several botched things about the Goodman heater (which is apparently not known for quality) installation. The damper was closed and he fixed that. He turned the gas and blower way down and now we have a quiet yet still warming heater. He even fixed a broken fitting in our adjacent water heater. Did the other company break it? He didn't say, but efficiently fixed several parts of a botched installation of an expensive investment. I hate slamming hard-working businesses, so I'll just heap praise on those that do awesome work and really shine. Get references beyond Yelp if you can, avoid Goodman heaters, (think about avoiding Cyclone), and definitely definitely call Kris at Beale! Thanks Kris, Rich, and Beale!
