We live in an age where it is no longer a simple matter to make repairs to your household appliances and systems. Kicking the furnace or playing with a pipe is not the way to go. Technology has made it difficult for amateurs to bring about successful repairs. Plumbing services, HVAC and air conditioning are two examples where the current complexity of the systems means it is best to leave all major repair work to the professionals. We know what to do and can do so efficiently and effectively – particularly when you need those heat pumps or central air to work as of yesterday.phone: (410)821-5560. Financing available.

Can't say enough good things about Fitz Mechanical and Chris. I smelled gas near my dryer, and BGE came out and confirmed a leaky line. They shut off the gas, so I called Fitz. The woman on the phone was super friendly and sent Chris to my house right away. He happened to be nearby finishing a job. He replaced the bad flex line and the old shut-off valve, which BGE recommended. He also secured the dryer vent pipe, which kept randomly falling off despite my efforts to secure it over the years. I've hired Fitz in the past, many years ago, and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.
Description of Work: Replaced leaky flex line leading to gas dryer as well as the gas shut-off valve.

We love Chris, Fitz's plumber. We have been using Fitz for about five years. Many hours of work invested in this project but we are happy with new fittings. Price included all hardware and we had him put in two new toilets seats as well.
Description of Work: This was an expensive job as we had an old shower control on the tub. Chris tried to repair but in the end we had to replace.

From the time I called the office to the date of repair, I experienced nothing but professionalism. The Plumbing Technician, Chris, was experienced, professional and worked diligently to complete the service for a very fair price. This is the second time that I used Fitz for services. The last time was to replace a defective Water Heater. I strongly recommend their services and will use them again.

Everyone else I called wanted to replace the entire water heater and this was the first company that would come and just replace the part. They did a really good job. They cleaned up after themselves. The woman who scheduled the appointments was really, really nice and sympathetic. They also called when they were on their way instead of not calling at all or calling when they were at the door.

They provided an estimate that was highly competitive, scheduled their work promptly, and arrived on-time and fully prepared to finish the job within one day. All the staff in our home was professional, friendly and courteous. After multiple experiences with Fitz, I remain a huge fan.
Description of Work: While many companies charge you 100 bucks just to tell you what's wrong, Fitz came to our home three times without charge. This company has earned my trust and endorsement, without reservation, for their impressive commitment to honesty. service and fair pricing. I can't imagine asking any other company to advise us on hvac or plumbing. If you thought decency and integrity no longer existed, you'redue for a revelation when you call on Fitz. I came upon this company by the recommendation of a friend, and I count that friend's referral as a true act of friendship. These are good, honest people the likes you have rarely experienced.

Replaced entire A/C and Furnace unit with Fitz. Brand new Carrier A/C unit. 3 summers later (2011), no cool air. Could not find original receipt so called a competitor to come look at it. The competitor tells me there could be a leak and charge the freon, this runs me $300. They also say they can do a 24-hour test (neon test??) to find the leak. This year, no cool air. I have since found the receipt and call Fitz. They come out for 2-hours, tell me there could be a leak but we could not find it, pay us $120 for the visit. If I decide to do any further work with them the $120 will come off my future service bill. I am told it could also be the and quot;Aand quot; coil, and they will call Carrier to look into. I get the call today from Fitz and told the and quot;A coiland quot; is covered under warranty but the labor is not, it will be $700 to fix coil and re-charge freon.I say, and quot;So if I pay the $700 and the and quot;A, and there is still a leak, where does that leave me?and quot; They say and quot;let us get back to youand quot;.What am I missing here?? STAND BY YOUR WORK FITZ, FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE PROBLEM!

Arrived on time. Started in the kitchen, decided to put on new faucet and spray hose. He went to pick up, called to make sure of design I liked. Came back in a timely manner. Looked good. Replaced Bathroom Faucet I had bought. Checked toilet, water was not filling in bowl. Adjusted something in tank and all was well. Checked basement dripping faucet and fixed. Everything was finished and looked and worked well. Plumber answered my questions and took care of all that I asked about. All trash was removed. Plumber was very pleasant.

I arrived home to a message from Mr. Fitz saying he does not come out and quot;that far.and quot; He referred me to another company. It seems strange that the receptionist would make an appointment knowing the address. According to mapquest the distance would be 10 -14 miles. Another company that is 15.47 miles away has already come out to give me an estimate. I'm at a loss to know why they do not want to offer a proposal except that the receptionist did not correctly take down the address. It would have been considerate of the company to inform me of their travel limits when the appointment was made.
Description of Work: I contacted FItz Heating and Air for an estimate for a new heat pump and water heater. The receptionist took all my information and made an appointment for the same day. I rushed home from work to make the appointment. I am without heat.

One of few area contractors to actually answer phone, or return phone call. This was a plus. Received an estimate over the phone that fell within the range of what I wanted to pay. Had an opening on the second business day after the phone call. Called about an hour before arriving, which I requested that they do. Arrived, understood what I wanted done, did work very quickly. I believe the work to be very good, they added a shut off valve that was much more convenient than the old one, which I appreciated. I would use them again and I would recommend them to friends and family.

Fitz Mechanical has been inconsistent, in my experience. The owner, and some of the employees, are competent and professional. But on two occasions, they sent out workers that seemed lacking in basic knowledge. The last time I contacted them, the person they sent out misdiagnosed an HVAC problem and recommended very expensive repairs (actually, replacement). I got a second opinion from a different company and the problem was solved quickly and inexpensively.
Description of Work: They installed a new furnace and water heater in my previous house, and also did some duct work. They came to evaluate an HVAC problem in my current house, but didn't end up doing the work.

I called to have them remove an old concrete utility sink and install a new utility sink with new plumbing and remove the lead pipe from the old sink. They responded within the hour, gave me an estimate and completed the work promptly. They were so efficient that I asked them to help me fix a toilet that a previous contractor had broken and refused to fix. They cleaned up better than they found the area. Very pleased first rate company.

They gave me a really good price, but they weren't able to do the job in the 2 days they originally told me. I ended up having to take almost a week off of work to be there. They didn't clean up very well, but after I insisted they clean it up. They were very nice and the price was good.

Fitz responded promptly to our request for an estimate. However, on-site they quickly ruled out a conversion to gas which other contractors took more time to price out for us, in order to compare options. Fitz recommended staying with an oil boiler, but left us with a brochure on a gas boiler. They would not do an estimate on the spot and mailed one to us several days later. They had proposed an oil boiler from a manufacturer we have never heard of, and their overall price was $1,000 higher than our next-highest-priced estimate. We called Fitz to ask them to provide the correct brochure for the boiler they proposed, and also asked them to revisit pricing and consider a different manufacturer if it could lower the cost. The sales rep. was abrupt on the phone and we did not get a chance to ask additional questions about the sizing of the boiler and why the chose it. We have a very old house with unique characteristics and need attention to detail on these types of projects. We have yet to hear back from them regarding the requested revisions to the proposal, and it's been over a week. Our old boiler will require asbestos abatement before it can be removed, and the whole project, even using budget options, is still a $6,000 job. We get the impression, however, that this is small potatoes for Fitz and that they are not interested in our business. Based on their sales practices, I do not have confidence that they would provide good service after the sale.

Response from Fitz Mechanical Inc
OUR PRICE IS BASED ON SEVERAL FACTORS WHICH INCLUDES THR DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY. THE HOUSE HAS NO BASEMENT ENTRANCE, MAKING THE "JOB DIFFICULTY" AND LIABILITY HIGHER THAN NORMAL. ALTHOUGH IT IS TRUE WE LEFT THE WRONG BROCHURE, WE DECIDED TO TAKE NO ADDITIONAL ACTION SINCE WE WERE CALLED BY THE CUSTOMER AND TOLD THAT SHE HAD SEVERAL BIDS THAT WERE "MORE COMPETITIVE." WE REGRET ANY MISUNDERSTANDING WHAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED.

The drain became clogged four days before Christmas when we were expecting overnight guests. After unsuccessful attempts to clear it using drain cleaner, we selected this company from Angie's List and phoned for an appointment. Even though the plumbers were heavily booked that day, they squeezed us in and arrived even sooner than expected (during their lunch hour) to do the job.
Description of Work: The plumbers cabled a clogged bathtub/basin drain. They had all the necessary equipment with them and were able to clear it completely in 15 minutes.
