About us

Guin Service began in 1958 as a group of specialized mechanics to compliment Guin Company s mechanical contracting company. W.C. (Bill) Guin knew that to have a successful contracting company he must have top mechanics to start-up and service contract jobs. Over the years the contracting company grew to one of Alabama's largest by doing quality work and providing exceptional customer service. In the mid 90 s as the top management of the company began to retire, the decision was made to discontinue the mechanical contracting division. Because of the loyalty of the employees of the service department and their many customers, the service company became an independent operation. Through the leadership of Ricky Lockhart, Manager; Keith Rotenberry, Assistant Manager; and Peggy Rice, Office Manager, Guin Service Company has continued to thrive. Associates Marvin Watson, Richard McDonald, Dewayne Todd, Tommy Thrasher, Jay Guin, Gary Rice, and their teams, have continued the legacy of friendly customer service. Each associate is highly qualified with 20+ years experience. As everyone knows, to have a successful business you must have the best people and Guin Service LLC has the best. Guin Service LLC has been in business since 1958 and strives everyday to make sure that customer satisfaction is guaranteed. Guin Service LLC is also a Certified Service and sales dealer for Generac Generators. Call and ask to speak to our expert Barry Nelms, and he will be happy to tell you all you need to know about the #1 selling Automatic Standby Generator in the country. W.C. (Bill) Guin, is retired but remains available for backup to the team. He is very proud of the continued success Guin Service LLC and has made plans for the operation to continue for many years to come. Joseph Braswell, a fourth generation member of the Guin Service family, started working with the company Jan. 2011 as the Director of Marketing and Customer Service. It is Joseph's goal to continue to build upon the reputation of Guin Service LLC, through community involvement and an unwavering approach to 100% customer satisfaction.

The work was done quickly, and the technicians were highly trained and professional. Every scrap of tape, tubing, packing, and many cartons both outside and inside our house were cleaned up at the end of each day and at the conclusion of the job. While this was an expensive undertaking, it was worth every penny. Mr. Todd Butts and his crew performed exemplary work.
Description of Work: Two Heat Pumps and an A/C along with associated air handlers, thermostats, etc. were replaced with upgraded components. New Bryant multi-speed Heat Pumps and air handlers were installed along with one piggyback gas furnace. All of these units are much quieter than the original units that came with our house and include state-of the-art smart thermostats.

Because the Guin service tech was smart, he realized the flame sensor failed because it was improperly installed at the factory, too close to the flame, making it prone to fail since it was first installed. If he had just installed another sensor, it would have failed soon. He repositioned the mounting plate, made sure ALL of the sensors were properly positioned and that was that.
Description of Work: A flame sensor failed on our gas furnace, and all it did was blow cold air through the house, with the fan never turning off.

I've used them for probably 40 years. They're the only one I have. I actually think they're very competitive. The last time I replaced the heating and air conditioner I checked with someone else and they were actually a good bit less on the same unit number. I thought it was a good price. I have not had any problems with them in 40 years. I have been satisfied with all their work. If I had any problems or questions, they took care of it. The workers were fine.
Description of Work: It was just a maintenance check on a unit they had put in.

Had an HVAC breakdown in the middle of a sweltering summer day Guin was the first to respond and did in fact find the problem , a bad contact, ,and had the AC working before the end of the day. However, upon this inspection, the AC FILTERS WERE NOT CHECKED causing the system to fail 4 days later. Upon request for a refund due to a promise to warrant the labor, Guin politely refused taking the position that it worked when they left So I paid about 150 for an inspection that I didn't get, and had to pay about the same amount for a second inspection from a different company An AC filter change is about the most basis repair or item of inspection I can imagine So all and all Poor service, very limited warranty and , including the two separate inspections required, the most expensive in the county
Description of Work: Responded to a request to get Air Conditioner that was not cooling cooling again

The Guin mechanic, Barry Nelms, performed an air conditioner diagnostic on our air conditioner the day after I called. He arrived at the appointed time, was very courteous, and provided helpful suggestions on how to maintain the efficiency of the unit. The diagnostic was free because we had contacted Guin through Angie's List.

They were trying to scam me. After the initial visit I called the supervisor. They sent out a different serviceman who fixed my issues, but that is what the fist guy should have done.
Description of Work: All of my faucets were leaking. The serviceman came out and did not even turn the water off before he started trying to take the faucet off. He said that he could not get the faucet off. He said they could replace the faucet for a $100.00 service charge if I purchased the faucet myself.

The man who came to perform this service was very polite and professional. He called before his arrival. I don't think that there was a lot to be done because the system is only about 7 months old. We decided to have the preventative maintenance service done in order to keep our warranty valid. We will schedule the next service for the fall.

Discovered we had no hot water about 8;00 pm on Friday. Called Guin, was told to expect a call from DeWayne in approximately 10 minutes. DeWayne called, said he was in Blount County, but could be at our home in about 30 minutes. I told him it could wait until the following day; but, came anyway. He arrived as predicted; found the problem was two expensive fuses and reset the heater. He told me that because the heater strip was not working, if it froze over night it could cause many hundreds of dollars damage. He finished about 9:00 (said he had been working since 6:30 am). Problem fixed.

They are great. I always use them. We had a problem with our toilet leaking. We called two different places and were told it would involve taking out part of the ceiling to investigate. We called Guin for a third opinion. They were able to fix the leak without opening the ceiling. They saved us a lot of money and worry. They are the only ones I will use.
Description of Work: They have done various jobs for us. They fixed a leaking toilet on the second floor this time.

This is my third review for Richard and his son Blake at Guin Service. They are professional, punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and just all around great. I have been referring folks to them for four years and will continue to do so. They go above and beyond, explain the issues, pros and cons, and never try to sell you a service or product you don't need.
Description of Work: Came to house to check out my disposal which wasn't working. Discovered it was the switch, so an electrical not a plumbing issue. Called his friend the electrician, who happened to be at my neighbor's house, who came over and replaced the switch. Neither of them charged me.

Thank you for your review. It is funny to think that something as small as ants can take out your AC, but it is actually a very common problem. Try putting our ant killer a few times a year, and it should keep this from happening again in the future. Thanks again, and we look forward to hearing from you.
