Description of Work: the thermostat they installed long ago no longer worked correctly. It was programmable. I asked that it be replaced with a simple non-programmable one. It was replaced, and I expect it won't have all the problems of the other. I really don't remember the date or price, but it seemed reasonable, and may even have been in Feb. They replaced my furnace and AC long ago.

Description of Work: Replace A/C on my house. I feel sold me another builder grade unit while telling my wife that we had a builder grade unit on our house that quit.

The unit that we installed is actually not a builders grade unit; the one that we installed is more efficient. We did communicate our intentions with your wife before the install. In hindsight we should have conversed with you as well and we are sorry that you felt taken advantage of. If you are unhappy with the unit that we installed we would be more than happy to credit your current expenses for a unit that better meets your expectations. Please call us at 913-432-3342, if you would like to discuss other options.

They just interested in making more money by asking me to replacre whole AC than trying to fix the problem at hand.
Description of Work: They came in to figure out what was wrong with AC and give estimate. They did something for couple of minutes and said AC needs replacement as its too old (15 yrs). They will give me They can't fix it.

When I called them with a problem (pilot light went out twice in 10 days) and asked their suggestion, they explained why it'd be best to replace it. The hot water heater was 16 years old. John offered to come out the same day and gave me the price quote right away. I checked with another place and was satisfied with John's proposal. Called him back to arrange the appointment. Zack came in time to do the work. He removed the old heater and installed the new one. He also noticed the loose duct and tightend it for us. In addition, he offered to take an old broken sump pump in the basement to discard. He was personable and gave lots of information. He explained how to operate the water heater as well as answered all our questions.

They are reliable and also a little bit pricey, though I haven't done any comparison. I had a small issue with some of their work with the faucet, so I called them and they made the trips back out to correct the problem. The employee was very polite and understanding when I called him to come back. They were able to send someone out the very next day. They were very prompt. So far the new faucet is working well so they installed it properly. Even though I did have an issue with some of their work they did come right back out to fix it. I was impressed with how they handled the situation. The price is most likely competitive. I would not hesitate to have them come back out when I had more work to be done.
Description of Work: Polestar Plumbing, Heating & Air cleaned out our drain with a snake (35 feet) and poured 2 cans of root destroyer to kill the roots that were beginning to get into the pipes. I also had him reseal the bathroom faucet. We have hired them in the past to do some drain work for us.

Started off well, no followup. I won't be calling them again.
Description of Work: Found off google, called and they were very nice. Scheduled a estimate for about 2 days later (pretty good turnaround time). They gave me 2 hour window for the appointment, which is pretty nice as well. The plumber/estimator came and was very cordial and professional. The problem was after the estimate there was zero followup, none. For the next couple days I called and called with the receptionist assuring me someone was going to call me "right back" and "by the end of the day" etc. After a week and half later and over 5 calls, I gave up.

We made a desperate call for help when our basement flooded and they were out within the hour. The person who came out was fantastic and he was happy wade through the water and get the sump pump working again. His quality of work was fantastic. We had received a lot of rain, so we knew he had several other jobs that he had to get to. He never showed that he was annoyed or in a hurry. He took his time and did an impressive job. We will definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: We had a sump pump installed a few years ago by this company. Our basement had flooded a few months ago and had to have the sump pump replaced.

The man that came out was prompt, but really didn't seem to be very knowledgeable. He looked at my hot water heater and he didn't know what the problem was. He was no help at all. I was still charged $129 and part of that was for a diagnosis that never occurred. I wouldn't recommend them.

They were very good at first, but the larger the company got the more they tried to sell us things that we didn't need. It used to be that the annual furnace check involved a lot of different services when they came out, and now they have to reschedule for a vacuum service, and to me it seemed like they were trying to get money out me.

I knew we were getting ripped off when his helper, Derrick, shows up at the front door with only a spray bottle in his hand half full of blue liquid. He walked slowly to the basement, slowly to the kitchen to fill up his spray bottle, slowly back out to his truck to get a tool (A TOOL), slowly back into the house to use our hose to run some water through some part of the furnace, slowly back out to his truck to get a little box with the primary unit, slowly back into the house to put in the primary unit, slowly back out to his truck to get a screwdriver to screw in the unit, slowly back out to his truck to bring in one PIECE of duct tape (not the roll just one PIECE) to replace what he had taken off the furnace. I wish I had taken a movie of this guy! What a joke.
Description of Work: Steve gave me an estimate starting at $800.00 to get furnace running. He gave me 5 specific prices for parts. When I asked him to take off what did not have to be done to get the furnace running, he immediately said he forgot to add something in, deducted the other parts and then added $100.00 to the estimate. He hid his clipboard from me when I tried to see what he was doing. He charged $39.00 for service call, $169.000 for a primary limit and $165.00 for a supposed clean and service and filter. He claimed he could charge another $65.00 for troubleshooting, but wouldn't! Just a big rip-off. Was stuck because it was 20 degrees out and the furnace quit blowing hot air, so had to let him fix it to the tune of $373.00.

In fact, we got two more opinions. Both of the other companies (which were highly rated on Angie's List) told us that the furnace was fine and they had no concerns about it at all. Now we're especially upset because Polestar had told us we needed a new air conditioner last spring and we went ahead with it without getting a second opinion. The other companies said that it appeared to be installed well, but we're left feeling that it may have been an unnecessary expense! And, in looking back, I realize that they offered a "bonus incentive" to us to buy the A/C. That may have been to hurry our decision so that we wouldn't take time to get another opinion.
Description of Work: The company sent a technician to do a maintenance service on our furnace (We have a service contract with them). In addition to all the usual; change the filter, check how it's working, etc. He told us that we needed to replace the entire unit! Then John, from the office, called and gave us information on new furnaces. Since they were quite expensive, and since ours had been working fine prior to this, I decided to get another opinion.

My thermostat is not electric. It uses batteries. It had gone out. I called them to see if it was something they could fix. They said they would call in the morning, but instead sent a service man out. In the end all that needed to be done was to have the batteries changed. They charged me $79.
