Terry Henry and his young assistant arrived on right on time in their big pink truck. They immediately got to work inspecting the HVAC unit. They discovered that ants had gotten into the outdoor unit and ruined a contact of some sort., which had to be replaced for $220. The technicians had an extensive checklist for the AC unit and when they finished the repair and the full checklist, the AC was running properly, with plenty of cold air instead of lukewarm air. They ran through the checklist with me and said that everything checked out except for the fact that the pipe insulation work had not been completed by the original installers, but I told them I could handle something simple like that. I was very pleased with their professionalism and efficiency, and appreciated the coupons and literature they left with me.
Description of Work: I purchased a $59 AC tune-up from Wilbur's Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Heating because my one-year-old AC unit was blowing air, but not COLD air.

I would like to say that the gentlemen that came out were courteous and knowledgable. They were on time and the dispatcher called thirty minutes out. I have no doubt they could repair my AC. They explained a lot about my system. But I got the tune up deal which had a long list of things that they check and clean. A couple of the items were to clean the coils and drain line. They tried to quote me both things that were covered on my deal right out of the gate. I had to show them the list before they would perform the cleanings. They sprayed off the AC coil and pumped out the drain line. They said they could not use cleaner on the coil or a cleaning solution in the drain line. Although the deal says that they are to put an anti algae solution in the drain line. I feel like they checked out the system ok. But there are things on the deal list that were not done, period. And it is not just one item. There are 6 or 7 tasks not performed. If you have a deal and put a list of points and ask your customers to live up to their end... You need to do the same. Bring the deal print out and show the customer what you are doing. Every single bullet point! Don't make me show you what I expect. This was a sales pitch. And the prices were high. I wanted to have a reliable AC company I could call. This is not it.
Description of Work: I bought the $59 deal for a tune up and up to one pound of refrigerant.

The work was completed quickly. The pricing was very hight and based on some internal quoting system they used. They sent two men for a small job. I asked for quotes on additional jobs and the quotes were even higher, so we did not give them the business nor ask them for future jobs, based solely on pricing. $138 plus cost of $100 credit voucher.

The technician was extremely courteous, friendly and professional. We've tried fixing some of things ourselves and yet it only postponed the inevitable need for a professional's help. The only issue I had was the cost. For around 2-hours of work, it was almost $1000 and that was with a discount. However, if you're dealing with a persistent problem and others who've tried to do the work for free have failed...it may be well worth the cost. Wilbur's is an excellent vendor to consider!

I gave exact details of the job we wanted performed over the phone. The company insisted they couldn't give even a rough estimate over the phone, so we scheduled an appointment. The gentleman that came to the house was extremely professional, very friendly and very thorough. He showed me the company's quote book, from which there was no difference than what I described on the phone. The price was so exorbitant that I showed visible shock. I told him I was sorry for wasting his time, but that I could not afford it. The quote was over $500. I went to the big box store, bought the parts and a new tool (bonus!) for around $45 and finished the job myself that night.

Thank you for your comments. you are correct I do not allow my employees to give prices over the phone, we have to see all the circumstances that affect the job. If we price something over the phone it can be too high or to low, this is not fair to the customer or us. We are not the least nor the most expensive service company, our customers in a matter of speaking set our prices by the level of service they demand from us. We work hard training and being prepared to give top quality service, we are not one man and a truck.

One guy came out, told me what he was going to do after he looked at all of them. He was very courteous, professional, and prompt. He was very informative and did everything he said he was going to do. But for the amount of money that you pay to get it fixed, it doesn't seem to make any real sense. The price is frankly shocking for these home maintenance calls.

To cut a 3' length of PVC, glue a fitting on each end and attach it to the water heater and pipe coming down to it.

Thank you for taking time to give me your imput. After going over your paper work I see our Technician gave you options for several things he found wrong of which were things that were not up to code. Leaking water line at the water heater, no shut off at the water heater, no expansion tank, a gas line that needed to be capped and a bad pressure regulator (your pressure was 90#'s). after my Technician told you that you were unhappy , I called Angie's list and told them you should be refunded that I would not charge anything for our diagnosis and estimate.

I was selling the home so I wanted to have the air conditioners annual Spring service completed and have the service tech identify any possible issues I might have during the inspection process. The service tech was on time, clean, polite and knowledgeable. Since the April service call I have used them again and the same service tech came out and identified the problem immediately and fixed it. I’ll use Wilbur’s Air & Heating again. Love those Pink trucks.

This company was fast and professional, but they charge too much. I bought a coupon through Angie's List for $100 worth of services for $49. Even with that, I paid a total of $300 to have the pipe under my kitchen unclogged. And since I declined to purchase a drain cleaning chemical for an additional $60, they did not even provide a warranty for the work. So $300 for less than an hour's work and no warranty. If I hadn't already bought the coupon I would have called a different plumber. You don't actually save any money with the coupon, because it seems that they just raise their prices to make up the difference. Even though they seem reliable and the plumber was nice, I will definitely not call them again.

Thank you for your comments. After reviewing your paper work what if found was your kitchen sink and washing machine lines were stopped up. We had to clean the line from the roof to the main line in your house. yes it has been our policy to not warrant a drain cleaning without our Bio-Clean product which is a safe bacteria and enzyme that breaks down food, soap, and greases and consumes it. Maybe I should change that to just a longer warranty with the product, because it works. I do take offence to your comment about us raising prices to give coupons. Everyone of our customers are charged the same. I control the pricing my men cannot charge one customer one price and another a different price for the same task with out my approval. they all have the price book in there iPad. If you have any problems with your drain stopping up in 90 days I will clean it for free.

I purchased big deal for plumbing. I had a dripping kitchen faucet. I bought a new kitchen faucet but they want to charge $380 to install same type of faucet that was there. They said they could repair existing faucet for $256. Their prices were so high. I was speechless. They didn't honor coupon and said they didn't write the Ad. I called the company and told them even though they didn't write the Angie list Ad they should honor it. Serviceman said he had been getting same type of problem with the ad.

Thank you for your input. Yes we have had a small percentage of customers not understanding the coupon offer, they think it covers all the work they need. The coupon is for 100.00 off or towards the work needed, and you are not charged our normal trip and diagnosis charge. As for our prices we base our prices on our cost to provide our high level of service plus a 10% margin. I feel you get what you pay for. If price is your only concern and not quality, clean Technician that are back ground and drug tested, insurance, warranty, ect… we are not the company for you. Any Angie’s List customer that doesn’t find value, and doesn’t have the work done we do not have a problem helping them get their money refunded

Thank you for your comments. When we repair a faucet we do not just put in washers we rebuild it with new stems, seats and seals, giving a warranty of 1 year. We use only original manufacture parts, the off brands do not last. If you would call me I will see to it that you get your coupon money back from Angie's List. We charge the same price to all of our customers. I believe that "there is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make or service a little worse and sell a little cheaper and the people who consider price only are this man's prey.

I have already spoken at length with an Angie's List representative, and it is such an irritating story I would rather not repeat it. All I say when asked is,"I will NEVER use this plumbing company again, or refer them to friends." Basically, although they came to do the work, they refused to honor the voucher (because we had no paper copy, they said) and went out of their way to try to convince us to spend money on additional repairs which weren't needed...and THEN they would let us use the voucher.

I have review your paper work and found we installed 2 new tub and shower valves for you, our technician was new to Angie’s List coupons and didn’t put on your paper work. He actually gave you a 505.00 discount on the work, your coupon was valued at 200.00 then you got a refund of 111.00 so in reality you got a 616.00 discount. Then you called back and told dispatch you wanted a different finish on the trim, gave us the model number of what you wanted us to order. We special ordered it and when we got it in you told us you didn’t want it. So we are stuck with an additional 244.50 loss on two sets of trim.

They called at 4:50pm and said they were on their way. They did not show up until almost 6pm and there were 2 of them. There were two very minor things I needed addressed and 2 other bigger things. I did not expect the $100 credit to cover them all, but I was shocked at the price. They quoted me $621 less $100 for the deal for a total of $521. They wanted $374 to replace an outdoor faucet. They would have had to knock out the brick around it. They wanted $247 to reinstall a gas line that we had to take down to replace the deck that was just completed. I thought both were way over priced, but the $247 to replace the gas line was ridiculous! There were no parts required to complete this job. All they had to do was disconnect the copper at the regulator, drill a hole in the deck, run the copper through the hold, attach the quick connect to the deck with 4 screws and reconnect the copper to the regulator. The only skill required was reconnecting the gas line. When I questioned the price, he said that they didn't have that exact job in their price book, so he did the best he could. My guess this could easily have been done in an hour, if not 30 minutes. I will never call this company again and I am asking for a refund from Angie's List for the Big Deal. This is the second Big Deal I have purchased and I did not have this problem with the first purchase which was for a an electrician.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal from Angie's List for this provider. The deal was for $100 of plumbing work for $49. The contacted me via email the same day and I called them back the next day. We set an appointment for the same day between 3-5pm. They were to call 30 minutes before arrival.

I got one of the Angie's list deals and Wilbur's contacted me right away. They arrived when they were scheduled to and the person doing the work was very good. He used a pneumatic plunger-like device to fix the blockage and it was very fast. He also looked at my kitchen sink, but said that it was fine. However, he did recommend a pro-biotic to put down the drain. Overall, Wilbur's was fast and efficient. I would gladly use them for future plumbing or HVAC needs.
