Bottom line, Quallet HVAC saved the day. Joe Quallet & his crew was knowledgeable, diligent, on time, fairly priced, kind, courteous, and overall a top notch mom & pop shop! They have earned my families loyalty and as long as we live in their service area and will forever have our business!
I am an Architect, developer, & millworker. I have worked with a ton of trades. I constantly work with the good, bad, & ugly; and our following story with our HVAC is a great example of each.
So if you want our specifics, it goes as follows....
My wife and I put our whole life and everything we had into the restoration of a Mid-Century Modern in Cheltenham, this past year. We are now 7 month pregnant (with our first) and only have our house about 50% complete, with very limited funds left. Though we cannot bring a baby into this house without HVAC. So after my original installer disappeared half way through the job; I decided to use Fujitsu's website to find a contractor who had taken classes and was a so called "Fujitsu Elite" company. The first company I found played around with us for 2 months, charging us B.S flat rates to walk through the door, and all the while, did not do their Due-Diligence to know that the job could not be completed as promised and then quoted us another un-negotiable $2,600 flat rate for an estimated 1.5 days plus materials (which wouldn't be a problem if that was what it would take), though they had already lost our confidence and wasted in-valuable time & money. We had to move on...
We then had two more companies come out to bid. Neither of these "Elite" companies knew that it all wouldn't work without the much bigger job. I ended up calling Fujitsu to do my own Due-Diligence to verify, due to the three varying opinions. Following that, I finally brought out Quallet HVAC. The first thing Joe Quallet said was what I had just confirmed with Fujitsu to a tee and what the other guys didn't know or were confused about. Furthermore, not knowing exactly what it would take, Joe offered an hourly rate to ensure it was fair (and even a slightly discounted one at that, considering our circumstances, which was a very kind and human thing to do).
Joe and his crew ended up doing what the other guys had flat rate quoted for 1.5 days, in 1 day; so between that and the discounted rate, we had enough money left over to buy our crib, stroller, and car seat, which was all of the money we have left to our name at the moment. So thank you Joe if you read this!
Ultimately you can go wrong hiring these guys! The truth is, big or small, nobody is perfect or is right all of the time. Though I can tell by the type of business that Joe Quallet runs, that they will never do you dirty, and if an accident happens, they will make it right because that is the type of people they are. Which is all you can really ask for... Though the job they did for us did turn out beautifully and went off without a hitch!
I am not a complainer or complimentor. In my book you teally need to be dishonest or incompetent; oe on the othe other side exceptional.
So do yourself a favor and don't listen to those two inpatient idiots below who gave one star. I promise it will be worth your while to work with a competent, honest and caring company like Quallet.
So if you made it this far with my novel, Best of luck with your project!!!!
P.S. I posted a picture here of our living with one of the ceiling cassettes that they got running for us!!! read more
