The service technician texted me to tell me he was on his way and arrived on time. He was very kind and courteous explaining what he would be doing and how long it should take. He put booty slippers on when entering my home. When he was finished he summarized his work. I appreciated all the respectfulness and kindness plus the professionalism in their work.

Doty Mechanical was professional and friendly as the water heater was installed the in the basement. We were notified in plenty of time before they arrived. The installation looks great and works perfectly. They cleaned up afterward and gave me a little run down on lighting the pilot and some general maintenance. I recommend them to anyone.

We value every opportunity to solve our customers problems. To do that, we need to operate a service zone that enables us to be effective. We are actively working to resolve our advertising campaign and appreciate you making us aware of the oversight.

After long consideration to complete the project myself, I had a final estimate completed by Doty. Pete arrived and provided the quote. A couple of weeks later we decided to have Doty Mechanical complete the job. Best decision ever on our part. Work was completed in a professional and timely manner. No problems and job was completed efficiently. They did fantastic work and we are completely satisfied. Darren and Nick did a fantastic job and saved me time, energy and frustration. Competitively priced and quality work. Gas line and vent were reworked to code and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks to Doty Mechanical for a great experience.

Made a call at 8am. Service technician arrived on time at noon and problem was solved AND fixed within a half hour. Technician was polite, kind, neat and clean but also got down to business quickly. Best part was... he had the part on his truck so there was no back and forth!

In a pinch last night and in cold weather, my newer furnace was suddenly not functional so I was forced to reach out to Doty after hours. Clayton answered my call and patiently walked me through multiple steps to correct the issue. With newborn babies in the home, the loss of heat required urgent attention and Clayton exceeded my expectations. Although this newer equipment in a newer home was installed by another local HVAC company, I knew Doty from previous experience living in the area and was confident superior service would be provided. I will certainly reach out to Doty first for future issues. Thank you again, Clayton!

We were happy with the price, it was fair. Every aspect of the work they did was perfect. The equipment they installed was excellent. We really were happy with them. We looked at a lot of furnace provider and we were happy how they did the service for us. Its a local company, not part of a chain.

Went great. I had a total of 5 quotes and Doty had the best one and offered the Carrier A/C I wanted. Punctual, professional and kept everything clean. It took me a while to do the job from the time of the quote due to other expenses but he kept it at the same price. If I need anything else in the future I’ll definitely contact them.

Heath came out to give me the preliminary estimate and offered a lot of great info besides. I decided to proceed and a crew showed up on time and were respectful and offered to answer any and all questions. My install was quite straight forward so they finished mid-day and cleaned up nicely and were on their way. I got what I believed was the best heater unit on the market (Bradford-White) installed for a very competitive price. Noticed immediate improvement to my hot water system. Would not hesitate to work with Doty Mechanical on other projects. My thanks to the entire team.

Useless. It is best not to contact this company if you don't want to deal with useless customer service.
Description of Work: These guys are pretty useless. I don't know why I ever bother calling them. I call them then they say. The earliest we will see you is 2 weeks. Always. They also gave me a really hard time on the phone. I don't know what all the hype is about. Carrier furnaces seem below standard in terms of quality. I have four houses which all got new furnaces. Two of them are Carriers and two of them are "cheapo" Goodmans. The two with the Goodmans have not had any problems and I have already exchanged one heat exchanger in one Carrier after four years and a circuit panel in the other after one. Fortunately that fell within warranty.

Response from Doty Mechanical Inc
Thank you for taking the time to fill out a review on line. However, we at Doty Mechanical are puzzled with your comments. Your call was regarding a water heater problem, and you wanted a "ballpark" price to replace the water heater. As a general rule, we do not give estimates over the telephone. We would not be aware of all the factors for the specific installation, and do not want to give inaccurate information. Due to extenuating circumstances, we were unable to schedule a sales appointment in the timeframe you requested. Please accept our apology for any inconvenience on your part. What is confusing is the comments in the review regarding your Carrier and Goodman furnaces. The problems you have experienced with those furnaces have nothing to do with Doty Mechanical. Doty Mechanical did not install the Carrier or Goodman equipment in your properties, nor has Doty Mechanical been requested to perform any maintenance or repair service on these furnaces. It would be pure speculation on the part of Doty Mechanical as to what might be causing the recurring problems you have been experiencing.
