We were given quotes for 4 different water heaters, including one gas heater. That allowed us to compare pricing & features. 2. We were given 2 quotes for the electrical work depending on ease or difficult access to the mechanical room. All quotes were detailed with line items for parts, etc. That was very professional vs the companies that give you a "black box" price with no details. Prices were reasonable for today's structure. Still a shock as we've had the house for 13 years with very few repairs needed. But it is what it is. We had a problem with the initial water heater hookup. They quickly sent out a top electrician (Pete) who verified everything and found one problem. He said he'd talk to the owner in case there was a problem with the water heater. The Essency has communication and app control features so the board working is critical. The next morning they had a full replacement water heater on the truck in case it was needed. It was not needed, Pete and Jacob had it up and running and reverified everything. Pete also caught that our router had paused the connection to water heater for some reason. Pete called later to make sure everything was good. We live near DU and there was no stalling around about coming out here. Every person that showed up communicated well and was good to have in our house.

6 reasons to think twice about save home heat…read more This one goes out to female homeowners who might be especially vulnerable to smooth-talking HVAC salesmen. A week ago, I had a regularly scheduled maintenance visit with Save Home Heat. What followed was a beautifully crafted upsell: psychologically astute, layered, and intricate. It may have been an isolated incident, due to a slow February, or part of a larger corporate ethos. The salesman tried to sell me a water heater, which I do in fact need, but also tried to say my 2019 furnace was basically beyond repair, and that I would need a new furnace, and because my AC was also the same vintage it would be best to get a new heat pump as well, for "peace of mind." The total came to $30,761.83. Here's exactly what happened. 1. The year prior, on a maintenance visit, Save Home Heat missed a critical repair, a major red flag, to fix the flue and combustion air for furnace. Flue and combustion air systems are key for safety, efficiency, and equipment longevity in fuel-burning appliances. 2. The salesperson tried to say what he called my 8-year-old furnace, which in fact just turned 7 in January, was old, meh (builder's grade), and pretty much beyond repair. He said the industry standard for my furnace was 12 years. The repairs they quoted me came to $3242.08. The salesguy said there were in fact probably more repairs lurking that he couldn't even see and best would be to replace the furnace altogether. Cost for a new furnace: $13,464.12. When I did get a second opinion, as strongly suggested by friends, I went with Carbon Valley Heating & Air. Dale Moe, the Carbon Valley service manager, said industry standard for furnaces was in fact between 10 and 15 years, and my furnace was well worth repairing rather than replacing. Estimate for Carbon Valley's repair, for flue and combustion air for furnace, and for return air in basement: Cost = $1898. 3. The Save Home Heat salesguy mentioned my furnace was grinding, which it wasn't really doing. He also showed me an amp reading and said the motor was using more than was indicated. His reading was 2.41. Therefore, I would need a new combustion blower for $898. The specified amount on the nameplate is 2.35. When Carbon Valley came and did a reading, their reading was 2.2. 4. Save Home Heat, in their estimate, quoted a repair for the blower wheel ($431), blower motor replacement ($850) and for a pressure switch ($224). Carbon Valley said the blower was "not grinding nor compromised, was balanced and showed no signs of needing repair." Dale said the furnace would not be working with a bad pressure switch and this another unnecessary "repair." 5. Save Home Heat then went beyond suggesting I replace my furnace. (February, given its mild temps, was apparently a very slow month for the HVAC trade!) He said, since my AC was the same vintage as my furnace, and therefore on the edge of its life, why not consider replacing both the AC and the furnace and swapping in a heat pump? Again, for "peace of mind." A heat pump would save me money on propane and since they were replacing everything at once they could really get in there do a great job of modifying the return AirDrop and supply ducting. Cost for a new furnace and heat pump: $25,195.57. 6. Save Home Heat used the classic sale tactics of creating fear and urgency. The salesman mentioned this was all pre-tariff pricing--God knows how much the new 2026 pricing would be when it would be instated very soon. Also, he pressured me more by saying their offer was only good for February, giving me roughly a week to come up with a decision. So my takeaway? Always get a second opinion for big ticket items. Always be skeptical and curious about every single line item. Work with a company that has proven its integrity and is worthy of your trust. As for me, I cancelled my membership with Save Home Heat and will not be working with them in the future.

Dining at a steakhouse as a vegetarian. Who knew? Went to…read morePerrys often when we ate meat - it was a go-to for our wedding anniversary. This year we decided to go back, meatlessly If you are a vegetarian, or know one you like to dine with, don't count out Perrys. They have some excellent seafood dishes, and the apps are really enough for a vegetarian to work with. Check the menus online! The service, as ever, was outstanding. When we mentioned it was our 35th anniversary, our server came back and said "We need some romance here" and spread rose petals on the table. She was attentive and prompt, and extremely pleasant. For pre-dinner cocktails, I had "The Godfather Returns" (a scotch drink), which was great. Also, we think their bread is some of the best around. She had a "Fashioned First" which was a fun twist on an old-fashioned. We started with the Truffle Spinach and Artichoke Dip. Too much for two, so we took leftovers home and it was great the next day, too. Maria, the beautiful Italian, had the Crab Cakes appetizer, which she pronounced "Delicious". I had the Caesar Salad and we split the Au Gratin Potates side (sooo good). I know that sounds kind of plain, but they also offer a "Chopped Steak" made from jackfruit, and Spaghetti Squash Primavera. I wish I had tried the fake steak, but I do love their Caesar... Nice thing was, they were extremely accommodating and the fact that the menu mentions "Vegan Entrees" is a plus for a steakhouse.

I also am unable…read moreto fairly rate the service as we asked the server to slow things down for us as we had some late attendees. I can say that once our orders were placed, the food came out in a very acceptable timeframe. The steak I ordered rare was cooked well done. This is unacceptable at this type of steakhouse. If we were not already running late I would have returned the steak, but we were in a time crunch so I did not send it back and ate the well done steak. The sides were good, but the steak was a huge letdown. I should have gotten the pork chop. It looked fantastic. If I ever make it back here, I will have to give it a shot. The real bad news was after lunch. In the car my stomach started bothering me. I made it back to the office and pushed through for about an hour, and then the drive home was terrible. My stomach did barrel rolls the rest of the day, and I took many trips to the restroom that evening, and canceled my normal evening plans (gym, walk, etc). I was plainly sick to my stomach for the entire day following the meal here. I cannot remember the last time I ever had such a direct response to a meal this way, but I wrestle with how a simple meal of beef, potatoes, veggies, and bread could make me as sick as I was. Still, it happened, and I cannot deny it. So, not a great experience. If I am invited for a work lunch again I will attend, hoping this was a one-off experience, but I probably will not be back if it is on my own dime.

We've had several issues over time, but our most recent experience tops the cake. On the purchase of our house, the underwriter came back and said the house is uninsurable. This is a pretty major discovery considering the house has already been purchased, and our inspector hadn't indicated any significant issues. I received an email from the Langers that read " I apologize for the inconvenience, this is an underwriting decision and we cannot override it." This is way more than an inconvenience. To be deemed uninsurable until a new roof is provided is a HUGE expense. Moreover, they didn't even send the email to my wife's correct email address. We've updated our Allstate account, but they insist they're "not Allstate," instead saying they're just Langer Insurance. I've had numerous insurance companies look at their pictures and go on the roof and say the roof is fine, yet Perry insists that he looked at the pictures of our roof and it has damage and has been patched. Not only this, his callousness is what really gets me. He could care less about helping us in our situation. We are leave Langer and Allstate. Good riddance.

To begin, our server was great, I wish I remembered his name. I ordered the pineapple-jalapeño margarita which was perfectly spicy. We then got the crab cakes, sourdough bread, and 6 dozen oysters. The crab cakes were awesome! We were both pleasantly surprised as both of us are kind of unsure on crab. The oysters were good, but not as good as Blue Island Oyster Bar's which we had a couple weeks before. The bread was obviously great. We then got the shrimp scampi and duck for our entrees which were both super good! This scampi was the closest to my step-dads growing up I've found in the area which was exactly what I was looking for! We ended with the carrot cake with jalapeño cream cheese frosting - an odd but spectacular combo!

Review: 5/5 Stars - A Lakewood Gem! If you are remotely…read moreclose to Lakewood, you need to go to Manning's Steaks and Spirits. The atmosphere is fantastic--sophisticated yet incredibly welcoming--but the food and service are what truly set this place apart. Our server, Shannon, was absolute perfection. She was over the top with her kindness and went out of her way to make sure every accommodation was met. Service like hers is rare and made the night feel truly special. The Food: * The Steaks: We had the Filet Mignon (served over savory mushrooms) and the Bone-In Ribeye. Both were cooked to a flawless sear, incredibly tender, and topped with a rich compound butter that took them to the next level. * The Sides: You have to try the Jalapeño Creamed Corn. It's velvety, sweet, and has the perfect hint of heat. We also loved the fresh shrimp and balsamic-glazed avocado salad. * Dessert: We finished with the Strawberry Cheesecake on a chocolate crust. It was the perfect, decadent end to a beyond-delicious meal. Between the world-class steaks and the legendary hospitality from Shannon, Manning's is a 10/10. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
