The service call went well with good results. Josh explained the preferred work with hopeful results and the next step if 1st step did not work and cost of each service, before he proceeded. And I like the fact the expected service call is not extra to the bill.

Excellent. They came out quickly, called before they came, and showed up on time! The technician explained the issue, performed the repair, and made suggestions to address the problem going forward. No pressure, just information. We are always very pleased with their service.

My AC stopped working a double I had MasterTech out. I went ahead and paid for a$79 tune up they found the problem which was a bad capacitor. They charge me nearly $300 for the part which I found I could have ordered from Sears for$10. It was a simple plug / unplug replacement and they already had the cover off for the tune up. I later talk to another HVAC company and they said they charge $49 for that part. MasterTech is so large they don't care about repeat business they get you the first time and hope you're dumb enough to come back for more.

Seth came out, understood the problem immediately, and did a great job resolving it. He paid attention to details, made sure things were adjusted how I would like them, improved some other issues along the way, covered the hole with an access panel, and cleaned up the area before he left. He was also a pleasure to work with.

Terrible experience. The techinician was unable to diagnose the problem thus fail to repair the furnace. The company was going to charge us a second diagnostic fee when we called them back to report the same issue.

Ms. [Member Name Removed], we came to your residence twice after hours to diagnose the issue with your furnace and you were only charged for one visit. The system was running as designed each time we were there. When you called the 3rd time requesting a technician, we were not going to charge you again for the diagnostic fee--you stated you believed the compressor needed to be replaced and we explained that we would charge for any repair work. Please call our office if you would like to discuss this further.

I contacted them early on a Friday morning and they replied within an hour and said they could come out the same day. They were here, completed the job, and were gone by noon! It was fantastic. The two men were extremely polite and courteous. I would absolutely call them again and highly suggest them to anybody.

I am almost as disappointed at MasterTech as I am at myself!! I feel like an idiot! I paid $1,033 (parts only) for a Turbo 200 Universal Dual Capacitor ($62 from Amazon) and a 1/4 HP Outdoor Fan Motor ($142 at Sears). It was 95F outside and we needed it done quickly for personal reasons. But again, I feel like an idiot for trusting MT would charge a reasonable price. A company that scams its clients so badly because the client needs the job done, and that same company relies on clients who do not check if they are being way overcharged (again, I am an idiot for that!!), they don't deserver anybody's busynesses. At least, not my business ever again.

Response from MasterTech Inc
Mr. [Member Name Removed], There seems to be some confusion regarding the charges you paid so I would like to clarify that with you. The total was not for parts only, but for the parts, labor and overhead for emergency service. The diagnostic charge covers getting the technician out to your home and the testing and diagnosis he performs on your equipment to figure out exactly what the problems are. The repairs he has to make are charged separately from the afterhours diagnostic charge. There are added expenses that we incur as a professional licensed, insured company so that we can provide the type of service that allows us to have a MasterTech employee answer your emergency call at 9 pm, dispatch a licensed technician to your home late in the evening and for him to carry all of the necessary parts on his truck to be able to repair your air conditioner immediately. A licensed HVAC technician arrived at your home, diagnosed the problems, repaired the system and had your air conditioning running again within 3 hours of your request. For that service, there have to be more charges on our end than simply ordering parts from Amazon or Sears. If you have further questions or additional feedback, please call our office and speak with the general manager. Thank you.

The technician was a polite young man and he did diagnose problem within minutes. However, the cost of this repair and the damage to my sink cabinet that was not restored really was unacceptable. MasterTech will never get anymore business from me or a referral. The charge for this was extortion.Of course, when I agreed to the work I had no idea that it was that simple of a fix. I thought it was going to be a major procedure and so, I agreed to have the work done. I have had plumbing done in kitchens in other homes I have owned and cabinets were restored, so I do not feel this was an unreasonable expectation! I also have never paid this much for plumbing under a sink EVER! NEVER AGAIN.
Description of Work: smell under sink-at back of cabinet pvc pipe was cracked. Technician sawed 8x4.5 inch opening in back of cabinet, replaced the 6" piece of pvc, reconnected everything. I was told MasterTech does not replace backing of cabinet to restore cabinet. The entire repair took just over an hour and I was charged over $500.00.

Thank you for your feedback and your comments about our technician. Seth is the son of a plumber and has been doing plumbing service work for over 6 years. He is highly trained and very proficient which allows him to complete jobs in less time than others might take. It is my understanding that you had spent hundreds of dollars with other people trying to solve this problem and nobody had been able to fix it for you. Seth was able to diagnose the problem quickly and accomplish the repair quickly; however GPS shows that he was at your home for 2-1/2 hours, not the hour or so you mentioned. We are very good plumbers and HVAC technicians but we are not trained cabinet repairmen. We don't feel like it would be fair for us to repair your cabinet in a haphazard way and you not be happy with it. We feel it is better left to cabinet professionals to do such a repair. If you would call our office we could discuss a credit for you to use towards a cabinet repair.

They were somewhat unsure of what had to be done at first but were able to figure it out and fix problem. I thought their pricing was extremely high and was actually shocked at the price they quoted me.

[Member Name Removed], thank you for your feedback in another review regarding our technicians and how impressed you were with the same day service. For us to provide that level of service and have 2 technicians at your home within an hour of your call is world-class service and is expensive for us as a company. I am glad we were able to get this taken care of on your day off and save you from having to take another day off work.

Because MasterTech charges for their estimates, they appear to have a side business going where they will come out for an estimate, collect their fee, and then provide an outrageous estimate to ensure they don't have to do the work. They ensure they will get calls by allowing you to apply the price of the estimate to the job. But then make sure that never happens. We had three estimates for a job, and only MasterTech charged us for the estimate. The three estimates were $650, $850, and $2500. Guess where MasterTech is on that list?

Response from MasterTech Inc
The estimates must not be "Apples to Apples". We quoted a sidewalk bore and a reroute, permits and inspections, safety controls. Codes require a testing and safety valves. Because of safety requirements, gas lines done correctly to code always seem to cost more than homeowners anticipate. Be sure your selected contractor follows all codes, safety requirements and inspections. Additionally, the quote you received was not for the $2500 but for $1,778.96. We are a professional contractor and have successfully worked for you twice in the past and would love to do so again.

You always know what to expect with MasterTech, and they always deliver. They are not the least expensive in town, but far from the most expensive. If you have time to spare then you may find someone cheaper to do the same work, but quality may not be a sure thing in that case. With MasterTech, quality is always a sure thing in my experience.

Justin arrived promptly. I knew what he would look like because i was sent a confirmation email with his photo attached. Upon entering my house he stopped to put on booties so he would not dirty my floor. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. I always want to learn as much as I can from any repair person. I appreciated how helpful he was answering all my questions and then adding even more relevant information. When I asked about coupons and did not have one that would work he found one in his computer for me! I would definitely use Master Tech for any plumbing needs in the future.

Josh was very nice. He said they do not carry Kholer parts on their truck so they was extra charge for having to go and get them. When asked why the quote was so high, he said he wasn't able to break down the bill in service vs parts. I declined service and called another plumber. MasterTech's quote was over $200 more than the plumber we got a second opinion from.

I called MasterTech in late morning to report that my AC unit had died last night. It was 95 degrees outside and predicted to be in the 90's for the next two weeks. Because of work commitments, the earliest time I could meet someone at the house was 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. As the day got hotter, I called back and asked whether it would be possible to have a service person come out to the office after 5 p.m. I was told that was possible but that it would be considered an after-hours emergency call and would cost more. I agreed and was told that I'd be called after 5 p.m. with a specific appointment time. I was pleased to receive a call at 4:35 p.m. The service person met me at the house, diagnosed the problem as a burned out capacitator, explained the cost for repair and for optional service agreements, and then proceeded to replace the capacitator with a part he had in his truck. When he finished the job, he came into the house to ask whether I had any questions. He was polite, pleasant, and professional. I would definitely recommend MasterTech to others.

It went really well. I'm very pleased. After water from the bath backed up to my sinks last week, I had some major plumbing work done at my house this week. Seth was my lead tech, and he was fantastic! He was very patient and kind, while dealing with a major headache. I was really pleased that Seth came back for the full excavation/repairs, because it's always comforting to see a friendly, familiar face when you are dealing with a major home repair and already a bit stressed out. I don't know if that's a common practice or was just good luck. Across 2 days, I think I met 7, or maybe 8 different members of the MasterTech crew. They were all pleasant and polite, and I felt comfortable around all of them (which if you are a single gal who lives alone, this probably matters to you). My issues were thoroughly explained, and nobody spoke to me like I'm dumb (which again, if you are female, this probably matters to you). They were also helpful in showing me the problems, which made it easy for me to come to a decision about which option was the best for repairs. This is at least the 4th time I've had plumbers out to my home in 8 years, and they are by far my favorites, though I do believe I won't be needing them again, as they finally set my house right, the way it always should have been. (Thank goodness!) They get bonus points for major professionalism from the friendly and responsive office staff, right down to the well-labeled vehicles and uniformed staff. I also appreciated the email updates. They get double bonus points for being patient and kind to my chocolate lab, who was a bit stressed out by all the chaos and power tools. Plus, the excavation team put my yard neatly back together, after having to dig it up, which is something my friends and neighbors already commented on. It's a bummer when you have to do some major work on your house, but it's a lot less painful when the service crew that shows up is friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and on time.
Description of Work: Replaced the entire plumbing system from inside my house, out into the yard, including dig under the foundation. Also, this included pulling the pipes for both toilets and replacing those pieces, so it wasn't just everything under the house, it also included parts that fed up into the house.
