Response from Bill Howe Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning Inc
There was some confusion of what our $79 HVAC diagnostic was valid for; the terms are very clear and we invite our customers to contact us before purchasing should they have any questions. It was a discounted hour of service for $79 (waiving the minimum $156), diagnostic and repair. All other time was chargeable at regular rates plus parts and was fully quoted prior to any work. We honored the customer by not charging for the additional 3.5 hours we spent on this service call. We are happy to revisit this and address any specific concerns, but feel we went above and beyond to ensure a happy customer. Best- Julie

Description of Work: The payment is for 2 years preventative maintenance. The visit was for one of the update inspections including filter replacement. My technician went through the units with a detailed checklist, and left my house functioning nicely. The Howe team are always interested in taking care of their clients. They even wear shoe covers to protect the floors. Just a small thing, but it shows the respect and care Howe shows.

Description of Work: Their AC technician, James, was very thorough and explained what was needed and the process as he went along. A genuine nice guy who was very competent and who even cleaned up after completing the work. I couldn't be happier with the service James provided on behalf of Bill Howe Inc. I'd recommend them highly. I had used them years ago for plumbing work and was also very pleased with their service. Thumbs up!

Description of Work: It went well. Pricey but reasonable compared to other companies...super responsible. They reinforced sewer line from house to street...it was very old! Also, I had a backup problem about a year later and they came right out and fixed it with no charge!
