Furnace quit working on the super cold morning- negative wind temps, called, they came in couple hours, water in the intake pipe outside, could not prove switch, condemned the Board, ordered Board, gave estimate of HVAC replacement - outrageous prices, opted to fix old furnace, came back following week with new Board, installed, furnace still won't come on, cut intake pipe in half to obtain air flow and left it like that, was told to leave door open so it will not starve for air, charged me over $1100.00. Told my disabled husband to get the clog out of the pipe himself.

This is the second time we have used JF Denney, the first being installation of a water softener earlier this year, which went great thanks to Jared and Jill. We are selling our home and we called them to come inspect and service our heat and air. The technician, Ed D., (who is a really nice guy) came on time and was very thorough and professional. He also made sure to wear booties in the house, which we appreciated.

The vinyl flooring in front of one of our 2 toilets developed a couple of bulges. Our plumber removed the stool to discover a leak had rotted some of the plywood & needed repair. At the same time we were in the process of using R F Denney to install a reverses osmosis system and I saw in their literature they also had repairmen in one of their divisions. I was in a bit of a panic because we had house company coming in about ten days. Ted Ruth, the project manager, did a great job of getting it coordinated. John, whose last name I have forgotten, was prompt and efficient at doing the actual job which involved removing the glued down vinyl flooring, repairing and replacing plywood flooring, trimming & gluing the new vinyl, caulking, & clean-up...Super! Their plumber then came & re-installed the toilet, Completed within 2 days and all completed the day before company arrived!! Bravo!

We were pleased that Jill first listened to what we wanted done. She answered our questions, did the general water test, explained the install process and system options available (3 filters or 5 filters system). She didn’t try to sell us more than we wanted. Jerrod, the installer, was prompt, efficient, and did a great job. 2 weeks later, Jill came back to retest the water.

I contacted JF Denney Plumbing after finding them on Home Advisor. I was in the market for a whole house water softener and Denay was prompt with her response and provided a quote online for the water softener and installation of four toilets. She still came to the house for a consultation and tested our water which was appreciated. Pricing was about the same as other water softening systems that I requested quotes for but I was sold on Denay's presentation. I also was keen on the Kinetico systems because they run without electrical power. On the day of installation, Jared H. arrived on time and was very friendly and respectful of our home. He was quick yet efficient of the install of the water softener. He also explained the entire system to properly. He was just as efficient when installing four toilets. He even brought up the entire packaged toilets upstairs and downstairs by himself without any aid; this was very appreciated and was very impressed by his prowess. If possible, I would request Jared as your installer.

Not only was the estimate the best of 5 we received, but the replacement units were the highest rated in every category. Milt, the tech, was wonderful to work with. He discussed/explained what he was doing, was meticulous, and very professional. No one wants their AC units to fail, but I'm glad Denney's was there to do what we needed done.

My three year old Put a hose through the vent system for a tankless water heater for 45 seconds. Water was pouring out of the unit. I called Kyle to schedule an appointment to have emergency services performed on my unit. Kyle new my unit inside and out. He was incredibly helpful and walked me through all the steps to see if I actually needed a service call. He also explained why it would be safe to do these tests, and explained why the unit was most likely not damaged. In the end it's saved me an emergency service fee as well as time. I can't say enough for the professionalism, the expertise, and the helpfullness he exhibited. In the end he saved me both time and money. I have taped their company's name to my unit and instruction manual and would not hesitate to recommend them to any of my friends or family.

Took the small team about 1 week and the results were excellent. The team would cover the floor every day as well as a final cleanup when they finished the job. The work was completed at the price quoted, even though they did encounter a couple of challenges.
Description of Work: JF Denney installed the walk-in tub we had purchased. This required additional plumbing and electrical work. The installation included removing the existing molded tub-shower unit, adjusting the factory add-on component - actually cutting the fiberglass into two pieces. The final component of the installation was the placement of Onyx side walls and sealing all the seams. The tub and all its functions were checked and confirmed operational before the Denney team departed.

The service was OK. The system works fine but there were lot of glitches with the reverse osmosis unit. It was not filtering water like it was supposed to and we had to make several calls for them to come and fix it. Finally after three tries, it's fixed now but it seemed strange because it was a new system and should not be breaking right after installation.

We were referred by Home Depot. Both our water specialist, Denay and the installer were very helpful & professional. We received a whole house water softener and are very happy with it. I had never had one before and was a little nervous. But I love the way it makes my skin feel silky and the shower stays cleaner. I also like knowing the pipes will not get the calcium build up which will keep our new appliances running longer. We also had a drinking water system installed. To avoid drilling another hole in our kitchen counter, we had them install it directly to our refrigerator water dispenser. Not knowing we had this installed, my niece helped herself to a glass of water and immediately asked me why my water "tasted so good". She said it was the best water she had ever tasted!

Chris Jones the water specialist for my area came out on scheduled time to go over available options specific to my water concerns. after deciding that Kinetico was the way to go, JF Denney plumbing sent out Jared and T.J to install my entire system setup. Very clean and professional. They walked me through the process from start to finish. Telley made sure I knew who was coming and when. Overall Chris, Telley, Jared and T.j are all a part of as great company J.F. Denney plumbing. Thanks a bunch for the great experience.
Description of Work: I was wanting to compare pelican to kinetico products. specifically a softener, reverse osmosis system and any type of dechlorination system. i needed information on products, install costs and install dates. I decided on purchasing a kinetico softener, dechlor tank and r.o drinking system. included in price was install, taxes and materials.

Leak was outside in ground,It was close to the house, they suggested that they run a new line inside the old line and said it would be best to run into the house we went with their suggestion, BIG MISTAKE!!!!! when it rains we have water in basement. We called and called and after few months they came out and said we had to add dirt and move the down spout, so we did and we still have water. So again we called and called and they came out and said it would be 1200.00 to fix it, we so NO don't you back up your work, we went back and fourth and they did agree to redo and fix the problem BUT never called again or showed.

Response from J.F.Denney, Inc.
We have the following record of all the visits and conversations from the disputed service call in our dispatch system. To my knowledge we have not heard back from you since 8/2/2013 when our dispatcher called to see if the line was indeed still leaking. The dispatcher was told that Kim had not checked but would call us back the next week. Said she forgot all about it according to our records. Not sure how we can follow up on that when we have incomplete information. We did repair a water leak in the water service in August of 2012 and have no records of phone calls in our system again until 2013. We do stand behind our work. Are you still having a water problem with the same line? How can we help you to solve the issue?

While conducting market research of water softeners all roads kept coming back to Kinetico. In addition, JFK Denny was a local company and we try to support local businesses. During my research Kyle Whepley came out to our house. He tested our water, water pressure, and did a very nice job explaining the water softener options that would meet our needs. After collecting three bids from separate contractors we decided to go with the Kinectico. We scheduled the install and the next day Jared came out to install our new unit. Jared was punctual, professional, and had the new unit installed within 1.5 hours. He removed and disposed the old GE unit and cleaned up after himself. After he left we could immediately tell the difference. Our water tasted better, the dishwasher cleaned the silverware better, and after taking a shower your skin felt cleaner and softer.
Description of Work: Purchased a new Kinetico Q840 whole house water softner to replace our old GE water softner we had purchased 8 years ago.

They show up when they say and do high quality work. I didn't have to wait long for a service call. Sometimes I have to wait for new filters to be delivered when they happen to be in the area...but the benefit of this is that they don't charge me a delivery fee. I was pleased that I could collaborate a bit with the technician to get new plumbing lines where I wanted them instead of just jammed in anywhere. He was professional. The Kinetico RO system we have and the de-chlorination and water softening systems that go with it are a purchase we have never regretted despite the cost. Our water is so good and we are assured of the safest water possible for us and for our appliances and fixtures. It is also the most water efficient of all the RO systems on the market by a lot. They are generally water hogs and this unit is reasonable. When we unhooked the softener system in our old house for a couple of months while showing the house, it was amazing to us how quickly the water scum came back on all our fixtures despite KCMOs very soft water. Our skin could definitely feel the difference as well. We were so used to the drinking water that we could not stand to drink tap and purchased water. We are so happy to have this system and only wish it was not so expensive five years ago and then again to relocate. We believe we got high quality for the money. We are stuck with JF Denney to help us service the system, but have never felt a reason to complain. They keep the filter costs reasonable and we only need to replace three of them once a year. We haven't had to replace our RO membrane yet in at least five years
Description of Work: These are the reliable folks who installed, service and, when we moved, relocated our water softener and water purification system to the new house.

Annual service call was completed timely and the technicians we friendly and courteous. I wasn't aware that with a maintenance contract that there are yearly service calls that provide you with free filters and salt. I did not ask about the additional services and filters but they made me aware of these additions which could have easily been forgotten or omitted to save money. My ac/furnace and water softener thank you.
