Install went smoothly! We were contacted the day before with instructions on what to expect from AB May via email and I had also contacted our original tech Dennis W. via text to confirm we were still on with our Thursday install date and arrival time. Brian F. #531 called ahead of time and arrived promptly at 8am. He was professional, kind and took the time to explain what they would be doing and he asked questions about what I was expecting to be done to ensure we were both on the same page. He began working to breakdown our old furnace while he waited on his trainee technician to arrive with all the other equipment (he waited behind in case they needed additional items once Brian was at the house and saw how everything was set up). I was impressed with that set up as it saves not only AB May time and money, but also myself the customer. Brian had the furnace taken apart and it if the house before the tech trainee arrived! Both technicians were absolutely wonderful! They were organized, efficient, polite and thorough. They had the whole system installed and up and running by 2pm! Brian then ran through the new system with me, explained that he was able to save me $375 as they were able to used some existing pipe work and that I should receive that refund back (I had paid previously with Dennis W. when I chose the HVAC system). They then finished cleaning up and left. The new system is amazing - super quiet, efficient, and the air coming into the house smells so much fresher and cleaner than before. Overall this was a horrible situation to find yourself in (a not planned major breakdown), but AB May made the experience much less painful! From how quickly they got to us, down to their replacement options, the temp AC unit, to the final install... It was amazing and we couldn't be happier and highly recommend them!
Description of Work: Our AC unit went down on the hottest day of the year so far it was topping over 100 degrees outside. Our family consists of my husband, myself, our 2 young boys, a standard poodle and a cat. I immediately called AB May that morning (as we have our home warranty with them and renew it each year) and they got us on their schedule for the same day. A technician arrived late that afternoon, and confirmed our worst fears the AC unit was down for the count and would need to be replaced (our HVAC system was over 15yrs and wouldn't be covered under warranty). He called for a senior tech to come out for a second opinion as is their procedure (it's now 7pm) and the tech showed up rather quickly. Dennis W. confirmed and sat down with us to go over our options. He was wonderful and allowed mean to ask questions and come up with a game plan without pressuring me to make a choice it pushing me to buy the more expensive option and all this while we sat in my house in the 98 degree heat at 8pm! Once our choice was made (we chose their Daikin 13 SEER AC, coil and furnace system), he got a temp AC unit over to our house the very next day before noon (so total time in the extreme heat without AC & 1 full day) - and again it was abouthen scorcher if a day. The temp AC technician was again so professional and maintained a wonderful sense of humor and great personality the entire time (despite the insane heat) - just amazing service! Dennis W. had us down for an install appointment that next week (our unit went out on a Friday and we had our new HVAC system installed the next week on Thursday).

From our perspective, it took too long for service and part. However, their electrician and certified Generac technician, Heath Morgan, was exceptional. He made up for all of the concerns for having to wait. He is a professional worth his weight in gold.

plumbing, home warranty companies

It is a home warranty service. They fixed the cracked pipe under the warranty price. The fix would've been a lot more if we didn't have the warranty. I have always been happy with what they have done with the home warranty over the years. They are usually honest about what they have to do. It was a spur of the moment decision when I called them about the cracked pipe and I googled it later and the price was in the ballpark. It was a little bit high. The faucet was included in the price with the labor. Because we have the home warranty, they were out pretty quick. They give you a window and then call when they are 30 minutes out. We have had them as a home warranty company since the early 2000's.
Description of Work: We had a cracked pipe under the sink. He gave us a quote for the hot water heater. He also fixed an aging kitchen faucet.

Technician Daniel Cahill did a great job with the install. His knowledge, skill, professionalism and pride in a job well done are quite evident. I definitely recommend AB May for maintaining and upgrading a residential HVAC system.
Description of Work: I have had a service contract with AB May for my HVAC system since I purchased my house in 1990. I have never been disappointed in their service or professionalism. I bought a new furnace, air conditioner and hot water heater in 2008. The install went well and the price was reasonable. Today, I had a new humidifier installed (still had the original one!).

It was great. Derrick was here within 2 1/2 hours of our call. He was courteous, professional and informative. We had both issues fixed in less than an hour, and he explained clearly what had caused the problems, and how we could prevent a recurrence. Derrick has helped us out before, and we've always been very pleased with his service.

Provides extra info on how to ensure good working order between servicing and any other options that may be available for consideration.

I have what they call a gold plan. If anything happens, they will only charge me so much a month, and then if anything needs done, of course, it's a flat fee. It would have cost me more than that if I wouldn't have had their plan. I would tell others I liked their punctuality. I can't think of anything that I disliked about the work.

We received amazing service through ab may. Our ac unit went out on Tues, they installed a temporary unit the next day so we could have ac until they could get our new unit installed. They showed up first thing sat morning and had our brand new ac and furnace installed by 1 that afternoon. I would recommend them to anyone needing any type of HVAC work done..

However, it was obvious from the get-go that AB May was there to sell you a higher level of service since they only ran a camera through the main line --- said extensive work was necessary and that running their auger through the line would damage the clay tiles. We hired another company that cleaned the same sewer line and declared that there were no deficiencies. Would definitely not recommend AB May for this service!
