About us

Aleda and Bill Posladek are the founders of A.B. May. They purchased May Furnace Company in 1959. They renamed it A.B. May A for Aleda and B for Bill and set out to offer Kansas City comfort and top quality service with a few employees and four trucks. Over the years we have expanded to offer Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Electrical, and Appliance repair services. In the mid-1970’s we pioneered one of the first homeowner warranties in the industry. Today, we give thousands of Kansas City homeowners a plan for home repairs through our Home Warranties for home buyers and our Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Value service plans. In the nearly 60 years since our business began, we have grown to employ more than 275 people and taken care of thousands of home repair needs for our friends and neighbors that call Kansas City home.

We do use them just for the warranty in our home. There was no charge because it was in our warranty. They are just a normal company. No bad, no good. They are here on time when they say they are going to be. I have had no issues. I guess the quality was good because nothing was wrong. They were here when they said they were going to be here. They were right here on the date they said they were going to be here, when we scheduled it. Their professionalism was okay. They were very polite and nice.
Description of Work: They did an inspection on our furnace and air conditioner.

My experience with them was fine. It was pretty good but I had to wait a little while for the microwave to be shipped in from somewhere. It took about a week or two I think. It was no big deal though. The guys that worked were always very professional and very businesslike. They were congenial.

A. B. May has been my air conditioning/heating service company for a long time. I have had a service agreement with them for years. They do a good job and the technicians are always helpful and clean up (if there IS clean-up to do). We got new heating unit and a/c at the same time a little more than a year ago, and got a nice discount for doing both at the same time.
Description of Work: Did a/c maintenance checkup, and installed a start-up kit on a/c to help avoid wear and tear upon start up.

We were under contract with them as part of the purchase of a home. The kitchen faucet began leaking a lot. When they came out they were unable to repair it without a part they would need to order and that might take up to a week to receive. Of course I didn't want to wait that long so we needed to replace the faucet. Because of the layout of the counter, back splash we had only a limited selection.......we ended up with a $855 faucet reduced to $541 because of our contract. I have never paid that much for a faucet in my life. It is now March 2014 and the faucet is having problems....I will say that we have horribly hard water which may be the problem but I still cannot say I am happy with the service. The man who came good---I blame the company.

We bought their Platinum warranty after having our AC inspected. I thought it would offer some peace of mind. Several months later we called them out to fix our hot water heater. It was done quickly and professionally. In hindsight the warranty wasn't needed but I thought a whole the company was easy to use and would not hesitate to use again.

No issues at all with service. This was a home warrenty call for a drain backup. When the sewer line issue was found to be outside the home they provided a quote to repair the broken line. I called around and was able to get a much less expensive repair done via another company. I have no problem with AB May or the service they performed.

Response from A.B. May Heating, A/C, Plumbing & Electrical
Unfortunately, during the extreme weather conditions we were unable to keep up with the demand. We would like to offer our sincere apology that we were unable to assist you. Ideally, we would have liked to have been able to take care of everyone that requested service. However, we had to make the decision to prioritize our emergency calls and to first service our customers that currently have a service contract with us. We apologize that our customer service department did not explain that to you, and did not offer any options with regard to your situation. We continue to increase our service staff and to work on improving our customer relations skills. We hope that you will give us another chance to gain your trust and business. Thank you

We need a new unit and they were willing to fix and discuss. We wanted to look into geothermal but needed to know options of fixing unit and what would that cost. They fixed us enough to see us through the summer as we delved into the options. They helped with information and quotes but did not push us either way. We decided to wait until this summer to decide They have serviced out furnace and air conditioner for several years. They have always been prompt and friendly. I have had both their paid maintenance and just calling when I needed them. I have seen on difference in the way I was treated, which I appreciate very much.

First, they treated me like sales call not a service call. They were trying to immediately set me up with a sales representative. Before they inspected they were already trying to get more work. After inspecting my furnace, they said there were a number of things wrong with my it. I had other service providers come out and say nothing was wrong with it and it was safe. On a positive note, they were on time. Overall, I would not recommend them though.

I called AB May overnight to the emergency service to come out to identify and fix the problem with our CO leak and no heat. they guy answered and asked if was a real emergency. (Well, I thought it was since we had a CO leak and no heat on the coldest night of the year). He said well, it sounds like it could be handled during normal business hours so someone would call me after 730am. I was shocked but not in the mood at 4am to fight him. By 815am no call so I called them. They did not answer at first. When I finally connected with them, they said they would not be able to come out since I was not on contract. They said if I want, they could schedule me for 2-3 days later if I wanted. No other options. No referral to other companies since they could not help. Needless to say, I said thanks but no thanks and found another HVAC company on Angies list. I am still shocked at their lack of concern. I will NOT be doing business with them again.
Description of Work: I had a CO alarm overnight and had to shut down my heater on the coldest night of the year. I called AB May to come out since they have been here before and had done some significant plumbing in the house. In this case, AB May could not be bothered coming out the next day since I was not on contract.
