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.

They were just topnotch as far as accommodating my work schedule and my husband?s work schedule. They were prompt with the follow up. They didn?t charge us anything when they came back to repair the glitch in our system. They followed up back 3 weeks later to check if everything was alright. They gifted us goodies at the end of their service, and we were very impressed with them. My husband was very satisfied with their price.
Description of Work: A B May Co replaced our heating and air conditioning 1 year ago. When we ended up having a glitch in the system because of our fault, they came back and repaired it.

The work went smoothly. Their price was a little higher for what was done. They were very conscientious and very customer oriented. I will not use them in the future.

They had to replace a capacitor and a start relay. I have a maintenance contract with them, so it was less than what I would have had to pay. They do electrical, plumbing, appliances and air-conditioning and furnace repairs. They do repairs on all the built in appliances like the stove, dish washer and microwave. The contract includes repairs, parts and labor and you pay only a service charge when you come out. My neighbor?s son worked for them and I called them when I had a leak in my plumbing. I use them for almost everything.
Description of Work: I have used A B May for 6 years. The last time I used them was last week and they fixed my air-conditioner.

They are amazing. They are here on time and very friendly. There was a recall part on my air-conditioner last week and they actually called me to upgrade. They called me and asked when they could come and do it. I did not have to be here because it was all outside.
Description of Work: I use A B May for furnace and air-conditioner work, as well as electrical and plumbing. They have repaired my appliances too. I use them for everything.

They have been around for a long time and they are trustworthy. In this day and age I feel that A B May will be around when I need them, and I can?t say that for a whole lot of other companies. I normally get 2 or 3 bids before I sign up with a contractor but I didn?t do that with A B May. The charge for the service contract is not too awfully bad. They?ve been good to me and I can?t complain. We had a lot of trouble after they first put in the heat pump - they couldn?t get the thermostat to cooperate with the heat pump. We probably went through about 9 of them. Every time I called up and complained they came right away. You get a different technician every time, and I wasn?t too happy with the last one they sent out. Of all the other technicians that were coming and going, he was also the least professional. I was supposed to get an afternoon service call and I got a call in the morning and the technician called and asked me if he could come over right away and I was fine with that.
Description of Work: I used A B May to install the new air conditioning and furnace and I have a service contract with them. When they come out here, they mainly change the filter. They usually come out in May, but this year they got everything turned around and twisted and they finally made it out in July.

They were on time. The overall experience of working with them was very good. They explained everything I needed to know. They took care of the problem. I have used them before. They are great. The only thing I am unsure about is I don?t know how their prices fall in line with competition. They are somewhat expensive; I think it?s worth it because of the work they do.
Description of Work: I used A B May for heating and air conditioning very recently.

We are new homeowner's and purchased a warranty through A.B. May. We have utilized their services several times within the last month for both covered and non-covered home repairs particularly with plumbing. They have essentially re-plumbed most of our home and done an exceptional job. The company is easy to contact and set convenient appointments with. We've probably met their entire list of plumbers and they've all been professional experts. The pricing is fair and the work is top quality. I will continue to utilize their services even when our warranty expires.

Overall, the service was good but varied by technician, except for toilet repair. The toilet repair was actually not at all satisfactory. The tech told me that they only replace the part that is not working instead of completing the entire project. I did like that they came out and checked the furnace and A/C for free, so they knew and I knew it was working properly before the season began. The techs often try to get people to replace something that is old before it is worn out. They often get people to replace the circuit breaker or something like that.
Description of Work: We used to have a home warranty contract for repairs for nine years. We do not now as we have moved.

The plumber arrived on time and seemed professional. The toilet drain was snaked and I was told that it would probably fix the problem in the basement. Everytime I turned around, the plumber tried to up sell me on another item. This included using a faulty water gauge to say that I needed a water pressure regulator (I didn't buy it). The water issue was not resolved in the basement and I called another resource to have it fixed the next day.
Description of Work: I had a clogged drain in the bathroom as well as a lot of leaking in the basement (I could hear the water dripping in the wall).

They were hard working, and they got the job up and going. It took them a day and a part of another day, and they kept going until it was completed. They did a real good job.

Buyer beware when dealing with this company. I found I couldn't believe anything they told me. For starters, the woman in the office told me they had a 10% stimulus sale going on when she called to see if I was interested in a new furnace. (I had got an estimate a couple months prior) when the salesman got to my house the 10% shrunk to 5%, he said that he had already figured in 5% on the first estimate. I bought a new furnace and air only to find they sold me an air-conditioner that will be obsolete at the end of the year. The salesman told me I had a ten year warranty and this shouldn't matter. Later I find out I must buy their maintenance agreement in order for the warranty to be in effect. Another thing the salesman chose not to mention. I bought my furnace on a six months same as cash plan, the salesman told me I could put the purchase on my credit card at the end of the six months. I now find out this isn't true either. The senior service tech came out to check out my unit. I told him I was very unhappy with being sold something that is going to be obsolete. He told me a sales manager would call me. This didn't happen either. The installers did an excellent job and were very courteous but I would never recommend this company to anyone as you can't believe anything they tell you.

I've been using them on and off for several years. They are fantastic. They screen their technicians very well. It doesn't matter what the nature of service is that I need, they will send somebody out that I will feel comfortable with in my home. They are pretty competent and qualified. They have A B May standard practices behind them. They have never tried to talk me into something that I didn't need. I've learned a lot from the technicians that have come out. I feel that they are honest. It seems like an expensive investment, but it is probably worth it in the long run. The service call is only $60 with my service plan. I have called them in the morning and they have had someone out within an hour.

Technician was personable and very knowledgeable. He completed a detailed inspection of our furnace and humidifier and found everything in order. When asked he gave detailed information on upgrading our system to a more energy efficient model, especially our air conditioner. We learned that A. B.
