Wes did a fantastic job on a service upgrade from 100A to 200Amps. A friend/contractor referred him…read moreto me, I called him, and he promptly called back. I requested that we use text messaging and so we communicated that way, which I prefer. He gave me a written quote and explained the process to me. When he said everything was included, I was skeptical. I asked if that included the outside wire, the charge from NYSEG for the upgrade, and a 3rd party inspector (required by NYSEG). He said yes. He explained it would take one day. We scheduled a WED and everything went well except for a minor snag. The electrical lineman from NYSEG was waiting for Wes to show up at 9am when Wes just wanted the service disconnected and he would be there an hour later. I called Wes and he explained to them that he just wanted a disconnect and then they should come back for the re-connect. Then Wes went to work, wired up the panel very cleanly, and got power back up by the end of the day. He didn't finish all the labeling (my panel was an ugly, unlabeled mess before), so he cae back a few days later to help with that. I really appreciated talking to the guy who would do the work; that way there wasn't much that would be lost in communication. Wes also told me his experience working at the Port Authority in New Jersey on giant cranes. So he has many many years of experience. You should also be prepared that Wes will recommend lots of upgrades because "things aren't done right". Like GFCI outlets in the kitchen where there is water. This is code today but wasn't code many years ago. So, take these recommendations seriously, but he's not trying to oversell you like a car salesman. I may be slightly biased because my structural contractor, whom I love, recommended Wes. But Wes did a great job and earns this 5-star recommendation. The price was roughly $1800 for the job. No hidden fees.

I requested a quote for installing a heat pump system to replace an ancient fuel tank furnace…read more Halco came out and quoted me $72K for work other companies quoted me $26K for! Obviously, I ended up going with the cheaper company, HSC Associates, and I'm sooo glad I did. HSC was great! But Halco? Stay faaaar awaaaaayyyy from these scammers.

The person who came out was personable and charming but that's the only good thing I can say about…read morethe company. It took weeks to get a written quote after he had been by. I asked if we could discuss a few things on it and the he kept saying he'd call but never did. I tried calling him a few times but eventually gave up. Part of their sales pitch is that they come out for emergency calls for their customers and how there's always someone available but if they can't even call me back to get a project started then why would I believe they'd actually show up when I needed a repair? Their quote was literally double the other quotes I had gotten and the markup on some items was ridiculous. The furnace model was listed on the quote so I looked it up and they were charging me nearly 5x what it cost. And it isn't like they were rolling in labor or other parts because everything was itemized. In the end, I went with a different company who did great work for half the price Halco wanted.

Halco has great customer service with the greatest technicians who not only know their stuff but…read moreare very friendly. We have used their services since 1998 and I wouldn't go anywhere else when you can simple trust them. We've had a new furnace, hot water heater, pipes replaced after bursting from freezing, and so much more. They are a great company to deal with.

I contacted this company as a property owner with multiple rental properties to ask about services…read moreand eligibility for available incentives and grant programs, as the information online was unclear. My goal was to have an initial conversation to see which properties might qualify before moving further. The representative said she could help, but the call focused on collecting detailed information to pass to a specialist rather than answering general questions. I was asked for my billing address and the exact addresses of all properties. When I asked why this was needed at such an early stage, she explained they use addresses to look up assessment values, square footage, and photos or details from sites like Zillow before an audit. I explained that online data often does not reflect conditions relevant to insulation needs, basement/attic size, etc and that I was happy to provide full details once we determined it made sense to proceed. I was told I likely would not receive a call back without providing addresses. After giving one address for a property we were open to getting a quote on, I was told a callback would take about four days. Five minutes later, I received another call saying they would not be able to help, without any explanation given. Overall, it appeared the priority was evaluating properties to decide business viability, instead of first discussing services or eligibility.

I sent a text with a brief explanation of what I needed, I got a response in less than half an hour. The next day, Brian and Sarah came out to take a look and give us an idea of what was needed.

The cost is reasonable and they are very courteous and professional. Cathy and Bob

The heat pump on one side of the house (heats bedrooms) keeps tripping breaker and NOT working so the bedrooms are FREEZING. We have emailed, called many times for support (they are still under warranty) and have NO response. Had another company out to check and they told me that the outside wires were almost cut thru by the installers and are melting. Ultimately close to causing a whole house electrical fire! LaMonte is NOT a responsive company- I do NOT recommend at all. AND- the contact form does NOT work on their web site!

Paul and his crew were incredible. Professional, fast, courteous…read more What I loved so much about Paul is how passionate he is about what he does. The guy loves insulation. There's really something to be said about having work done by people that care and are passionate about what they do. I just had my attic and garage insulated by Paul and we are going to have him come back next year to do a few other areas of the house. My husband and I are so impressed. It started off with an energy audit of our attic and garage. Paul was recommended to us by JK contracting. After meeting with Paul, him showing us everything and giving us an honest and reasonable estimate we went with him. What a great decision. We live in CNY, you cannot skimp out of good insulation, especially with energy costs rising these days. Call Paul. We are glad we did.

It was a pleasure to have Paul and his team install blown in insulation into my attic on 9/29/21…read more He provided me with the quality service that seems to be lacking with so many businesses today. It was welcome to be treated the way I like to be treated as a consumer. Paul totally explained in detail the job, answered all my questions, provided a free estimate a clear proposal with warrantee of work provided, returned all calls and emails promptly, was prompt and on time and did a great job at cleaning up the work area. I highly suggest Paul and his excellent company and won't hesitate to use them again for future work. Thanks Paul for a job well done!
