Preferred Home Services is one of those companies that really earns your trust. Everyone I've dealt with has been professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely focused on taking care of the customer. They communicate well, show up when they say they will, and take the time to explain what's going on instead of just trying to sell you something. The level of service and expertise really stands out. When it comes to HVAC, plumbing, or electrical needs, Preferred is the only name I truly trust, I appreciate ya'll thank you! read more

Thinking about hiring Preferred for your A/C or plumbing? Save yourself the trouble. Invite a few strangers into your house, hand them your wallet, and let them take whatever they want. It'll probably cost less, and there's a decent chance you'll have the same result: money gone and the original problem still there. read more

Patrick came out to check on my breakers because I was having trouble getting water from my well consistently. He was able to diagnose the electrical issue and fix it expertly. He told me what he was doing every step of the way so I would understand the issue I was having. He did not stop until the problem was solved, and he stayed to ensure the work he did fixed the problem. I am not an easy person to please, but I am a big fan of Preferred Home Services, and will continue to use them for any home problem I have. read more

Trying to schedule a repair is frustrating. I called to set up an appointment several times over the past week and no one will bother calling back even though I have a contract with them. Stay away from this company! read more

Have a crack in toilet tank. Since member of Preferred had someone come out to tell me if I needed to replace toilet. They said yes and also shutoff valve. Member price for low price toilet and valve and work: low of $957 and high of $1538. I am not the brightest but that seemed like a ripoff. Ordered toilet and valve from Amazon for $255 and installation will be around $200. Preferred has done work for me in the past but now it makes me wonder how much I have overpaid. read more

He did a good job, but quoted me a substantially higher than their receptionist. I was happy when he honored the original price anyway.

WARNING: Preferred Home Services tried to take advantage of me by significantly overcharging for routine work--protect yourself and look elsewhere. My tenant smelled gas and alerted me--obviously a serious situation. I had Dominion Energy come out immediately. They repaired the meter, tested pressure, shut off the gas, and noted we needed to have our gas lines tested. My tenant found Preferred Home Services who could come out same day. Keep in mind: this is a small 1,200 sq ft home with just two basic gas appliances (stove and tankless water heater), and all piping is easily accessible in the crawl space. Then came the shock. Their technician, Revlon Spooner, quoted $961.26 to test the system--claiming it was "discounted" from $2,000 after calling management. That's not a deal--that's a red flag. When I pushed back, I was told the work was "dangerous" (despite the gas already being shut off) and warned that if they didn't find a leak, I might need to replace all the pipes for additional cost. That felt like pressure tactics, not professional advice. I said no. I called other plumbers--quotes came in between $200-$400. I hired one, and the job was completed for about $300. No drama, no scare tactics, no inflated pricing. One more thing: they require a credit card upfront just to schedule--especially concerning if you're not onsite. Bottom line: this felt like an attempt to take advantage of me and my tenants during an urgent situation. Don't fall for it. Get multiple quotes and protect yourself. Do not hire Preferred Home Services. read more

AC unit it is broken yet again. 4th time since it was installed. Yep. Not sure how they cone so highly recommended.

Wonderful Service, great people, excellent preventative maintenance plan. Very friendly and explains everything. Free inspections, but the techs work on commission, so don't have a heart attack when they find every problem that needs attention. read more

Ola was outstanding during my yearly HVAC maintenance. He was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I clearly understood the system's condition, the issues he identified, and my immediate needs. I truly appreciated his transparency and felt confident trusting his recommendations. Ola patiently answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I wouldn't change anything about the service--it was an excellent experience from start to finish. read more

We had a technician come out this afternoon to do routine maintenance check on our system, and the tech found no issues - everything was working just fine he said! Tonight, after our AC system (which prior to the maintenance call today was working perfectly fine) is now not operating at all. My husband called the after hours service number and politely explained the situation and about today's service call. He was told by customer service that they don't have ANY technicians available to come out tonight to look at it, and our problem is not a priority and not considered an emergency! We have been loyal customers for YEARS, and have been using their maintenance plan for quite some time! You would think they would at least TRY to accommodate us. Nope! She actually told us that no one would call until sometime tomorrow! WOW! I guess customer loyalty doesn't matter to Preferred Home Services any longer! read more

I recently hired Preferred Home Services when I had an issue with a digital thermostat. Their tech was extremely helpful and was able to replace the unit, but I was floored by the total cost of the visit. The service call was on a Sunday, so I certainly understand the premium charge. But I was essentially charged $500 for labor to unplug and plug in a new thermostat (a $200 part). No new wiring, just plug and play. The tech did check the furnace and air conditioner, but my total bill was $700. Again, I understand the Sunday premium charge, but a $500 labor charge is way too extreme. I'm rating them a 3, only because the tech was very helpful, but I would have rated them much lower because of an obvious price gouging practice that this company uses, which was extremely disappointing. I've learned a very hard lesson to never use them again.. read more

Oftentimes, despite the most proactive plans, things go awry. Being in the low country, it can get uncomfortably humid and hot. Yesterday morning, I woke to an very heated home on a 90+ degree day. I called around, read reviews, and came across Preferred. From customer service to dispatch to service technician....EVERYONE was above exemplary in their approach to my concerns. Josh, was the service technician that served the moment. He took care to inform of foreseeable concerns, but admitted that even through his diagnostics couldn't narrow what triggered my issue. What could've been a very expensive call was minimally fiscally conservative in its service charge. The system was running again very shortly. And this morning, I rose to the comfort I have grown accustomed. PREFERRED is now my preferred HVAC/plumbing go to and I elected their PPP maintenance option. I'm looking onward to our working together,as I feel that they will remain honest, caring, and proactive in their service and commitment. Thank you read more

Made appt and took day 1/2'day off from work only for them to text me after 6 pm to tell me the technician isn't coming because he got caught up in HVAC emergencies -AC not working -IT IS MARCH ( not July ) and low 70's outside it is not a sweltering or even hot outside. I had no AC last July when it was brutal out I had to wait 2 days before they showed up. Rescheduled for today they were supposed to be here by 10 when I contact them they tell me 30 mins -an hour has gone by and I have been on hold for 10 mins waiting for a dispatcher to pick up -they lost a customer!!!! read more

The technician was very prompt, professional and friendly. Explained everything so I could understand it in order to make an informed decision. read more

Toilet Replacement: I called Preferred Home Services with a toilet issue of smell and slight leakage around the base. Tony (their plumber) came to my house on time that day and inspected the toilet (even took it apart) to find root problem was it was never installed properly and my flange was 4 inches below the surface of the floor. He was able to quote me a fair Price (working together with Jeaneé and the service manager) on the repair and educate me on what to look for in a replacement toilet as that would be more cost effective. Came to install toilet the next morning after I purchased my new toilet and did a great job. Very happy with the work!! As always preferred has my business for both plumbing and ac. read more

Paid $17,000 for a brand new unit from them less than a year ago. The unit has no been broken for more than a week with highs over 90 and I'm told nothing can be done.... I have a toddler and 2 dogs and we have been confined to one room of our house for over a week read more

Not a great experience. I would not recommend this company to anyone. I was overcharging and under-served.

Fast service. I had a simple repair. The diagnostic took an hour. Was super expensive. I didn't want a pitch for membership, I just needed a minor repair. The repairman was great. Too expensive. read more

They say if you are a member you don't have to pay a service fee, however you have to pay a trouble shooting fee, which is just another name for a service fee. They don't always show up. Although all persons who came to work are very polite the prices always include something unusual and with added costs. They rarely made me smile. read more

My initial review on your company was not goid due to what I felt was a negative service. Jamaal contacted me personally to hear what I had to say and rectified the situation. Thank you Jamaal and you are truly a consummate professional. read more

I received a quote to vacuum the lines of a mini split I installed. They were priced much higher than the unit cost and it was only a 15 minute job! The time it took to come out and give an estimate was a waste considering how specific I was to the job. I purchased my own vacuum for 1/5 the cost they quoted and completed the job myself. Way to try and rip people off! read more

Update: The customer service reps did reach out to try and smooth over the situation. The tech they sent the following day went above and beyond to ensure we taken care of. With that said- the problem was a result of the new unit installation they did and my main frustration with this situation was they do not have a dedicated team to send when there is an issue with an install they did same day. read more

Best heating and cooling company in Charleston! Their technicians are knowledgeable, professional and patient when reviewing pricing options. Their work is always pristine and fantastic quality. I'll always pick Preferred and recommend them to everyone! read more

I called you guys out for my AC unit, it was getting humid in the house. You guys gave it a clean bill of health after looking it all over. The check cleared and less than 36 hours after my AC is dead and it's 84 in the house. Thanks guys! read more

Jaxon and Xavier were great updated our whole ac system Finally going to cool off the second floor on these hot summer days

Writing this review on behalf of my retired mother. They took advantage of an older woman who lives alone and then tried to do it again when their shotty work got called out. Don't use this company! Unfortunately my mother's hot water heat broke and her two children do not live in the same state and could not help. I give my mother credit, she shopped around and found a company she thought she could trust to install a tankless water heater. New water heater works fine, but 2.5yrs later my mother goes to sell her home and the home inspector hits her on incorrect wiring for the hot water heater. Turns out they didn't wire the new unit to its own breaker, they just connected it via an extension cord to an outlet. When she called to have the issue corrected, the company first told her to pay $300 just to have someone look at the issue, then after some back and forth, the manager, Jamaal, said he would do her a favor and only charge her $300 to fix their mistake and add the necessary breaker. This was after Jamaal said that even though the manufacturer said it needed a dedicated breaker, it really didn't need one, but wouldn't put that in writing. My mom was feed up and said she would have to reach out to BBB and a lawyer because this only an issue because they didn't do the contracted work correctly/to code. Jamaal said he didn't need to listen to her and hung up the phone on her. That should tell you all you need to know about their shotty work and even worse customer service. read more

Excellent services to fix hot water heater. Upgraded to more adequately service our home, given that builder installed the heater meant to serve an apartment for one bedroom home in a four bedroom 2 1/2 bath residence. The heater Definitely should've lasted more than seven years on a Home constructed and moved into in 2017 read more

Our water heater kicked the bucket and we called preferred home services as they were the best rated on Yelp. The technician came to the door wearing a mask and was very professional. We had another contractor come quote the work and they were very competitive. They even sent a text with the tech's picture so we could be comfortable knowing who it was. After a short conversation, we agreed to terms and I asked when he could do it , he said "now good?" Lol! They have a great system, if they need to replace any parts they have a another person come bring the parts while they do the removal. Nate did an absolute fantastic job with the quality of work and speed. I would use these guys again in a heartbeat. Wonderful company read more

Our hot water heater started leaking yesterday. We called Preferred to come take a look. They sent their technician Revlon. He was so awesome!! He explained everything to my husband and I. We recently moved and had several unrelated questions about our toilet and kitchen faucet. He gave us his professional opinion, wasn't rushing us, and showed tremendous patience. He successfully fixed our issue, by installing a pressure valve and even helped diagnose our toilet issue. We will always call Preferred. You have earned a customer for life!! read more

WARNING: Do not let them keep your card on file! We had Preferred come do two repairs before we moved out of our home in late May, one charged to my wife's credit card, the other charged to mine. The card she paid with was then charged $1438.00 for a service at that address 15 days after we moved out. She called to complain and they refunded the money saying they charged the wrong card. They then charged the card I used the same $1438.00. I called and they said they couldn't find my name or phone number in the system. They said that address was associated with someone who was not me, and that they saw the service done that day in June. The customer service rep said she would contact accounting and have them call me in 24 hours. 4 days later, they still haven't contacted me or refunded my card. I have called the credit card company and reported it as fraud. Why would you not ensure the homeowner's name is on the card being charged and that they can give the security code on the back of the card?? read more

I was contacted by Jamaal from their customer service department after I posted my review. He listened to my reasons for the review and stated he understood why I felt the way I did. He apologized for the fact that when I called my concerns were not brought to his attention. He refunded my 59.00 dollars, which I appreciate. Good customer service goes along way. In the future I may consider contacting the read more

First a little background: When we bought our house six years ago, the HVAC system had been replaced only a few months before. We were really excited about that because we thought (wrongly) that we wouldn't have any issues with it for a very long time. Not long after moving in though, the problems started. The outside coil was leaking and had to be replaced, something else was leaking, a fan in the attic went out, etc. I actually had called Preferred out in 2017 when the fan went out but went with a different company because it was under warranty and the other company was just cheaper. At that time, Lucas came out and was great. It just came down to the money. Two weeks ago our unit stopped cooling. Due to mild temps, we put off calling someone out. Finally decided to this week, initially calling the company that replaced the fan and then calling Preferred for a second opinion. Lucas came out again which was great because he is personable and we got a good, no-bs vibe from him. Unfortunately, our unit had no charge and little to no refrigerant which means there's a serious leak, likely with the upstairs coil, and it was going to be costly. After all the problems we have had, we decided to get an estimate on replacing the whole system. The next day, we met with Robert (ask him about his horses!). He was awesome, straight-forward and helped us determine what unit would work best for us. After some discussion, my husband and I decided going with Preferred was the best thing for us due to their warranties and guarantees. That was Saturday, Monday morning (today) the crew (Josh, Curtis, Jacob and the new guy whose name I missed) showed up early (btw, they send you a text when they're on the way with a pic and bio of the tech which is cool) and got right to work dismantling the old system and installing the new one. Chad, the install manager, stopped by too to check up on things. Everyone was really nice and professional. They all wear covers on their shoes and had a drop cloth for the carpet. Curtis installed a touch screen thermostat and gave us a quick, yet informative, tutorial on how to use it. The guys did a great job and we are really excited about having a properly installed and guaranteed system. Thank you to everyone we worked with and Chris, one of the owners, that we had a couple of conversations with too before making our decision to go with Preferred. read more

See all

Everyone was prompt, knowledgeable, helpful, and thoughtful and kept me informed throughout the process. Great service!

I was very impressed with their services. Quick response time. Technician was very professional, friendly, and walked me through exactly what the issue was and solution. After the service call, they followed up to ensure I was satisfied. I'd highly recommend them! read more

Pricing is very expensive. The workmanship was excellent however I was quoted for one plug said by a switch over top was $640. I had two GFI switches replaced in my panel box both of which I supplied plus one motion detector to be installed in place of a switch again I supplied I paid $150 for the labor. I consider that to be pretty expensive given the fact I supplied everything and it took about 20 minutes to do everything the firm, however, is very professional and the work done by the electrician. read more

DISHONEST!!! Icalled Preffered Home Services to switching out am old tankless water heater with a new one. They gave me a quote of $8,000!!! I was working from home so I googled pricing while the Preferred person was sitting across the table from me and the HIGH end of the range listed online was $4,000. I told them "No thanks!" and the service person walked outside and "spoke to his supervisor " and came back in with a quote of $4,000. Nothing in the estimate changed except the price! All services listed were the same as the previous estimate! read more

Had our water heater replaced today. While our technician did a great job, whoever was in charge of getting him the new water heater delivered dropped the ball. They brought two separate units that were not usable and he ended up going and getting it himself at Lowe's. 10/10 would recommend William. He was great, it just took all day because of the issues. I do appreciate that it is same day service though! read more
