We were listing our home for sale much sooner than anticipated." I received a call Monday morning saying they received my message and they could schedule us that day as they had just had a cancellation that was actually for our area. By 11:00 Am that day the service person, TJ came out and cleaned the AC compressor and gas insert and glass. I was thrilled when I saw how fabulous the fireplace looked. Thank you Colony Heating and Ac and Thank you TJ!

2 years ago in the winter, I awoke to a cold house. I was new to the city, so I called around…read more Colony was the first available. The technician was efficient and the price reasonable. However, due to it being a Saturday, I was charged a $250 weekend service charge. The problem was that drifting snow had blocked the outflow pipe. While the technician was at my home, he received a call from my neighbor experiencing exactly the same thing. The technician advised him to clear his exhaust pipe. No charge. I did not object to the technician's service fee, but felt the weekend fee excessive, especially since my neighbor was treated fairly at NO CHARGE. Colony profited unreasonably and lost my business because of it. Dr. Sisson

Schaal Plumbing, Heating & Cooling replaced our central air conditioning and furnace in our home…read more Schaal were great to work with the entire time as they made the complete project uneventful and painless. Starting with Sam Zeibol who came to our home and diagnosed and explained the reasons we were having the issues we were. Pricing was very reasonable and Sam gave us several options to choose from based on cost and efficiency. He also explained the tax credits and package discounts that were available at the time. The installation professionals from Schaal were efficient, clean and very friendly. They worked their tail off and was very respectful of there surroundings. These young men earn everything they are being paid and left a lasting impression. Overall, we had a first class experience during a very stressful and trying time. We would recommend Schaal with no hesitation.

I contacted Rabe because a family member raved about them. I did not have a similar experience…read more I asked for an estimate to remove an old wood burning heater and then cap and seal the chimney (in a garage). They never came by. I called again, they were going to be in Vinton and could probably come by to check it out. Never heard from them. A few months later, I called and left a message. Nothing. I tried one more time and left a message as the person (not using the name on purpose) in charge of scheduling these types of appointments is always out, probably installing a fireplace. I removed the wood burner myself, it wasn't difficult. Now I need to get a cap on it to stop the rain from coming in. Needless to say, I will not patronize this business after this experience. Apparently, not returning phone calls is the norm around here; some other businesses I have contacted have done the same. Glad they have enough business.

My water heater quit working I tried for a week to get it to work. Finally, I called Edwards…read morePlumbing Heating in Vinton and told them I think I need a new thermocouple. They came out My Daughter called and told Told me they were there. Then 10 minutes later she calls back and said Brian Edwards told her it was unrepairable and that they needed another $800.00 to start replacing it. So when I got home I run to Theisens and buy a new thermocouple for $11.76 I Know nothing about fixing a water heater. But with the help of a You-tube Video it took me 15 minutes to replace, And Guess what no problems since? So I called to tell them and they say "WELL GOOD FOR YOU!" But at least they did not charge me for the visit! (So instead of being unrepairable and $800.00. It was 11.76 and 15 minutes.)

DO NOT RECOMMEND. I would give this zero stars if I could. We used Steve's for finishing our…read morebasement HVAC because this is the company our builder uses. However, the quote was outrageous and was supposed to include a plumbed return to the bedroom. When they did the job, they only did a pass through return which is not what we asked for. Also, the other place we got a quote from said it would include the bathroom fan fixture. Steve's made us purchase our own. They plumbed the HVAC in our basement about 2 months ago and we just now noticed the left a hole in the side of our house for the bathroom fan. We noticed this when we could see daylight coming through into our storage room. When we went around to the outside of the house, they never put a vent cover on. After we called and asked them to come back to finish the job, they refused and told us a siding company has to do that. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I have to hire another company because you are too lazy to complete the job you should have finished!! TERRIBLE SERVICE, TERRIBLE QUALITY.
