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.

Appolo installed new furnace and central a/c unit in my home…read more At the time of the installation, the overflow preventer in the a/c unit was stuck, resulting in flooding my carpeted basement. The initial repair person who came to see what caused the flood was the one who told me that the overflow preventer install caused the flood yet Appolo refused to reimburse me for the insurance deductible. Two years later another (different) company came for routine maintenance and showed me that the original ductwork was poorly designed because there is a rule that there should be 24 inches between secondary ducts and the end of each main line; it is clear on most online descriptions that this is ideal for maximum air flow through the system. When Appoly did the original install I had them come back because the air flow felt insufficient and they told me it was by design because the goal is to run the unit for a long time at a lower air flow for consistent temperature!!

A very friendly, amiable guy came out and had a look and promised to send me an estimate later in the week. When I didn't hear, I called and got their voicemail. I explained that I was expecting an estimate and that I'd be going out of state for two weeks and hoped the estimate would arrive by the time I got back. it did, and I had questions, so I called back. The woman who answered the phone seemed confounded by my request and said I needed to sign the contract and send it back. I explained again that I had questions that needed to be answered first. She wondered what my questions were, so I explained what they were. In a none too polite manner she said someone would get back to me. No one ever did.

The office sent out a young gentleman named Pat, who diagnosed the problem, got the proper parts to fix the toilet from his truck, and completed the job in a short time period. He cleaned up the area he worked on and made sure everything worked perfectly before he left. The charge for the visit, the parts and the labor was quite reasonable. I definitely will call BODEK again!! I am delighted with their service.

This was not an easy task, but they certainly knew what they were doing. They carefully removed 3 sidewalk blocks, then replaced them perfectly.

We had contacted two other contractors regarding this job, both estimates were higher than Bodek. I asked our landscaper who he'd recommend and he stated, "If you want it done right, go with Bodek!" We are happy we chose them and highly recommend Bodek Inc.

The next 26 years Hubbard maintained all plumbing: low flush toilets ( B vent staring at Hubbard while installing toilet), sink, hot water heater and all plumbing maintenance. All those years the B vent was not finished correctly yet Hubbard never informed me of this error on builder part. April 2013, I requested a bathtub be installed and was scheduled for June yet called and never got a service call appointment. May 2014 home inspected for sale Chad Hubbard arrives and tells realtor and buyers : it is noted the B vent is a fire hazard, not code compliant, and potentially noxious fumes. Chad Hubbard states " as you see Anne I cannot state all is well when there are several life safety issues" When a plumber ignores "several life safety issues" in a home that he has maintained for 26 years I question how safe my family and friends are when doing business with Hubbard Plumbing.

LaMorte Electric Heating and Cooling did an outstanding job installing a new Mitsubishi air source…read moreheat pump mini-split system in our home. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Brian, the owner, came out personally to assess our home, explain our options, and prepare three clear proposals so we could choose the solution that best fit our needs and budget. He also walked us through the finished system after installation, taking time to explain how everything works and how to care for it going forward. The installation crew, Lee and Damian, were terrific throughout the installation. Each day they arrived on time, worked efficiently, and were clearly experienced at handling the kinds of site-specific challenges that come with a rural home. They communicated what they were doing, addressed every issue that came up without fuss, and kept the worksite very clean throughout the project. They also removed the old system safely and cleanly. It's clear that LaMorte Electric is a skilled, local, family-owned contractor that takes real pride in their work and customer service. We are extremely happy with our new system and highly recommend LaMorte Electric Heating and Cooling to anyone in the Ithaca area looking for heat pump or HVAC work.
