Description of Work: Had a base fee of 125, which was fine for the initial service call. Then charged 2 more hours work $250, to diagnose a problem I already told them I had. They then refused to come repair the problem. Instead of calling me directly they had a sales rep from the Buderus company call to tell me Wilson refused to service our home. Hard to believe after paying the full bill currently and all previous bill over the past 20 years of a customer relationship. Very disappointed in their lack of professionalism.

I'm sorry things didn't work out. The financial ups and downs between you and I go way back, but I'll get to that in a minute. We hadn't serviced your boiler in over 15 years; you had my former employee Joel working on your system last I knew. Carine (in our office) has notes indicating you said (initial phone call), "my boiler is making noises and it sounds like it's about to blow up". That sounded quite serious, and she was able to re-arrange the schedule that afternoon (your initial call came in around 3 PM). When she called back to confirm the service call you weren't available/didn't pick up the phone. We got our service tech there several days later and he had never heard the noises your boiler was making and needed to call the factory techs out of state. You told my service tech you had a tune up done recently, and that HVAC service company you hired (evidently) didn't know how to make the boiler noises go away. My service tech told me you were with him the whole time he was there; I'm presuming you heard the conversation between my tech and the boiler manufacturer. The billing was $125/hr, the normal rate for the service tech. I asked my lead install tech to research the noise issues; he works on non-rudimentary boiler related issues more than the service tech does. I told my lead installer to get the necessary information from the boiler manufacturer to make your boiler noises go away. I needed the exact time frame for this, I did not want a guess. The manufacturer stated they didn't have any documentation. Without the necessary documentation, I didn't know how many hours were necessary for the next trip. Why was that a concern? Back in the early 1990's I did a rather substantial plumbing renovation for you at your home. When you received my bill you indicated you "didn't have that much money in your budget", and shorted me quite a sum of money. Of course, you never shared this 'budget' number before I began this substantial plumbing renovation, nor during the substantial plumbing renovation. But because of the position you held in our church, I just accepted it as a lack of communication and lack of experience on my part; I was quite young then. In 2003 you were remodeling your small commercial space and when I presented you with the costs for the HVAC work, you did it again: "I don't have that much money in the budget". Luckily for me, 10 years had passed and I had learned many lessons the hard way. I stated in so many polite words, "well, that's the price". Amazingly you managed to find the funding and we did all the work I had originally quoted for the commercial project. I learned you're the kind of guy that needs pricing up front. So it pained me to go back in (over 10 years without hearing from you; you were using my former employee) without knowing how many hours it would take to do the necessary servicing to your boiler and heating system, the boiler that we hadn't touched in 15 years. I'd rather walk away than get stuck one more time. I feared you didn't have any money in the budget for this problem. I don't know what happened between my install tech and the boiler rep. I had asked my lead install tech to ask the rep if there was anyone else in the area that could better service you. The rep offered to call you directly. I'm truly sorry if the interaction was less than professional. Gary Wilson

Description of Work: I actually have used Wilson for several major jobs: installing ductless A/C, converting boiler to gas, and (most recently) replacing indirect water heater. Very good job in all cases. Perhaps not the least expensive contractor, but probably among the best. The water heater was a semi-emergency, and they were able to squeeze in the work in just a couple of days.

We had just purchased our house in July of 2008 (built in 1992) and I think we either noticed something wrong with our heater (noise or not functioning) so we called Wilson and it turned out they were the company that had installed recently installed central AC in the house a couple of years ago. Someone came over to check out the heating system and outlined a couple of options to patch up/repair. We knew that the system would need to be replaced pretty soon so we asked for some options for a new system. Gary came over and took a look at our house and outlined a few options (good, better, best, premium) for higher efficiency heaters and also discussed placement of the system given things we might want to do in the future (finish the basement, build a deck). He was very no-nonsense, practical and knowledgable and wasn't pushing us in any particular direction. We decided on the best option (Viessman Vitodens WB1A 8-24 (95% efficient) and a 79 gallon 100 series water heater. Pretty soon after that, his team showed up and took about 3 days to install the system. Very professional and cleaned up after they were done. They were also okay with me coming down there every once in a while to see how things were progressing. About 3 months later (late Feb 2009), I noticed some water leaking out of a pipe, so I took a couple of pictures and e-mailed them over to Gary and very soon after that (maybe a day or two), he sent someone over to completely replace that portion of the piping, no charge. Just last month (March 2010), we just came back from vacation on a Sunday and noticed that it was very cold. Went downstairs and the heater wasn't working. I called Wilson and the person I spoke to ask me to try and reset the system, but unfortunately it didn't work, so she got in touch with Gary and he called me a little while later and then came over our house that afternoon (on a Sunday) to take a look. I don't know the specifics of it, but there was something malfunctioning that he thought might be a manufacturer's issue and that he would check with Viessman and let me know, but that he fixed it temporarily. Later that week, he e-mailed me that he received a replacement part from Viessman and came over and installed it. All of this was free of charge (normally would have been a minimum $400 bill given that it was a Sunday). The reason for a B rating for price is that we had heard that they do charge more than other places, but the level of service you get is much higher. We ended up not getting quotes from other places, so I couldn't say for sure, as we were impressed with them and they were already familiar with the house having installed the AC for the previous owners. Overall, a great experience with the guys at Wilson, especially Gary, the owner. Would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Hello, thanks for the positive posting. The first time this happened (to another customer, several months before) it seemed like an isolated incident, however when your new (15 months or so) boiler went through the same problem I did confirm that this was more systematic than a fluke. I now carry one of these parts with me and plan on changing these parts out for other Vitodens 100 (A model) customers. Thanks, Gary

There may be guys as competent as Gary and his crew, but there are none better. What's more, they seem to be good people. Erick and Bob were an excellent team, good humored and on task. Working on my house as if it was their own, they paid attention to detail. Their broad-based knowledge of modern boiler technology and the physics behind the controls was evident. I felt at ease knowing things would be done by the book. Having read that the proper installation of these high-end wall mounted boilers is particularly important, Gary and his guys seemed to be the go-to crew for the job.

II visited Wilson's shop to see his operation and set-up systems in January 2009. Gary came to my home to discuss my project, make suggestions, and an agreement to give me a proposal. I received the best proposal I have ever worked with. It detailed a-la-carte options with individual costs that would meet my needs. After several requests for more information on options were satisfied, Gary came back to complete a contract with me. The project actually began in April, 2009. Every member of the team from Wilson's was not only competent to complete his phase of the work, each was interested in my constant requests to understand what was being done and always listened to my suggestions and used them when the suggestion was a good solution. The men from Wilson's worked daily until the project was finished. The work took more than a week to complete. Gary was regularly present to check the ongoing work and returned after the work was complete to check all aspects of the project to insure that all of the elements of the system would work properly. I have had several communications from Gary asking how the system is operating.
Description of Work: An oil fired hot air furnace, central AC, and electric hot water heater was replaced with an oil fired boiler with outdoor temperature sensing, hydro-air heating, indirect hot water, 2 stage heat pump, variable speed air handler, multi-stage air filter, steam humidifier, and smart thermostat to control system. Modifications were made to the existing duct work.

After installing central AC in my house (previously reviewed) I also decided to replace the original LOUD, dirty smelly, oil heating system in the house. Major heating contractors in the area were requested to quote and I chose Wilson Services, based on the prior exceptionally good experience I had with their central air installation, competitive price, and strong technical knowledge. Again, Wilson provided vastly superior attention to detail in their quote and completed the job on time, on budget, and with no add-ons to their original quotation. Having replaced heating systems in several houses, with some very unpleasant and unanticipated contractor issues, the Wilson Services experience was exceptionally painless.

Having recently moved to a new area, into an oil-fired baseboard hot water system house and wanting to install central air, I polled neighbors and real estate agents for references to contractors. Nine were identified, covering all the major contractors in the phone book. I requested quotations from all nine, got responses from six and had them all come in to provide estimates. Five provided written quotations, one was verbal. Of all six, only Wilson Services carefully measured house and room sizes, the others all "eyeballed" the house to estimate AC size needed, some VERY superficially. . Estimates of unit size and cost varied widely, by a factor of two! Only Wilson conducted and provided a computer program cooling analysis, plus detailed description of equipment options including unit sizes, efficiencies, benefits and limitations. Wilson's price was near the low end, but not the lowest. Gary Wilson was the most knowledgable contractor, answering my questions thoroughly, and with great patience. I hired Wilson Services to do the work. They installed sheet metal ducts throughout (other contractors did not specify ducting in their quotations but, upon questioning, would have used cheap plastic flex ducts) and were incredibly neat and careful in duct placement, resulting in an appearance that the AC was original with the house. They finished the job on time, on budget. The system operates perfectly, as designed, cooling efficiently and uniformly--a particular challenge since three rooms with cathedral ceilings are scattered through the house. All members of the Wilson crew were well-trained craftsmen and delightful to work with. I have highly recommended them to friends, neighbors and real estate agents.
