This morning I was faced with a very bad sewage problem in a rental condo that I manage. I called…read moreBlivens Plumbing and explained that I had an emergency. The friendly and helpful receptionist immediately moved our problem to the front of the list, and Robert and his helper were there within 15 minutes. What began as an individual condo situation became a problem affecting the entire building of 12 units and involved the condo management association. Robert knew how to get help, and all of the people who responded to his accurate assessment were able to work together to solve the problem. We have used Blivens Plumbing for many years. This situation had the potential to turn into a very, very bad scene for a lot of people. Robert and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and committed. They got the job done quickly and correctly. I highly recommend them! Thank you!!!

Solicited a couple vendors for window washing & selected this business operated by Frank Mannone…read morebecause he took the time to drive to my home to provide an estimate within a couple days of the request. Other vendors either did not call back or provided a potential cost based on the number of windows without visiting & I suspected that cost would only escalate due to varying window sizes. Frank showed up early for the appt, was very personable, had all the right equipment to include ladders, and got right to work. He treated the windows as if doing his own home; looking at the individual glass from various angles, both inside and outside of the house, making sure he saw no streaks or missed areas. We were also pleased that he meticulously wiped out all the dirt & pollen accrued on the sills over the last year. We will definitely schedule him annually for this service as well as keep him at the top of our list for ANY of the handyman services he offers in addition to the windows.

He had helped me with TV installation, closet organization installation and is coming back for another round. He is reliable and rates are fair. I highly recommend him.

Heat Pump Service Issue and Billing Concern…read more Background In September 2024, I purchased two new heat pumps from R.A. Hoy. Since I am retired and spend most of my time at home, I do not need to adjust the temperature frequently. Specifically, the unit in question serves the upstairs area, which I rarely visit during the day. Discovery of the Issue In February 2026, I received a service message on my thermostat for the upstairs unit. Upon checking the unit through my app, I discovered that it had been running continuously, 24 hours a day, since mid-November 2025 up until the present date in February 2026. Service Call and Diagnosis I contacted R.A. Hoy for service. The technician identified that the unit was only producing 70-degree air and was one pound low on refrigerant. I also have 2 inspections each year that were reported as good. Electric Bill Concerns Because my electric bill is automatically paid from my bank account and has remained consistent for over 10 years, I had not been monitoring it closely. However, after realizing the heat pump had been running non-stop, I reviewed my bills and noticed an increase of over $100 per month starting from when the unit failed in November 2025. My electric bill is normally lower in the winter as my gas furnace heat my home when temperature is 40 degrees or lower. Concerns Regarding the Repair and Warranty I received a bill from R.A. Hoy for the refrigerant. I believe that, since the leak appears to be a result of the initial installation, I should not be responsible for this charge. Additionally, if this leak is not properly addressed, it is likely to recur annually. However, I was informed that because the issue arose more than a year after installation, it is not covered under the warranty.

They let me know each day what they'd be doing and when they'd be on site. Very well mannered folks as well. I'll miss the crew when they're gone, but boy do I sure hope they never have to come back. :-). They're ABSOLUTELY the first call i'll make for anything plumbing related going forward.
