They were very accommodating when I added on a service at the last minute. Very pleasant and courteous to deal with. Joe and Jesse, the technicians, were awesome! Very friendly and professional. Laid sheets down to keep minimal dirt and debris out of house. They were very thorough and explained the process and walked me through it after it was completed. I will definitely use Hutchinson again!
Description of Work: I originally signed up for a dryer vent cleaning. The day before the appointment I added on a heater duct cleaning and they were very accommodating to fit that in for me.

Both my neighbor and I found that they were very reliable. When they say they are going to be here, they are here. They did not make a mess at all and were very easy to work with. This place is a bit pricey, however, they offered me a very good special. They are very knowledgeable and answer any questions I have. If I ever have any problems, they come right out and help. It was a busy day and they always seem to work me in. They are very dependable. The salesman that we dealt with was very good about letting us know what was too much and what the right price was for us. We have been extremely pleased. It is a much more efficient system than our last one. Over the years I have never really had any complaints with them.
Description of Work: I have a service contract with them. They came and installed a new heating and A/C system.

I first I thought that Joe from Hutchinson's was pushy. But he took the information from us and he said we'll call you back in a week. So we selected them. There was a crew for each job. They said they would be there at 7:30 am and they were. They were done at 4:30. So the only thing not done is the tank removal and it's because of waiting for the permit. I am very happy with the company. Everything Joe said would happen did happen. We got the best of the best equipment.
Description of Work: We had Hutchinson's installed a furnace, hot water tank and air conditioner.

drain cleaning

Called Hutchinson on Thurs to set-up an A.M. appointment on Sat. to have our clogged kitchen drain cleaned. Ryan appeared on time as promised. He slipped on shoe socks to keep the rugs from getting dirty and went right to work attacking the mess. Upon completion, both of us went outside to check for a gurgling sound near the sidewalk an indication of satisfactory flow. It was working fine.Ryan is a friendly guy that we enjoyed having do the work. Total cost including taxes came to $251.45.
Description of Work: About every 7 or 8 years we get our clogged kitchen drain cleaned despite applying drain cleaner regularly. I'd like to see a 3 inch pipe instead of the soda straw pipes contractors usually install. So we had Hutch clean it out.

I've used them before and the price was reasonable. They do great work. They know their stuff as far as industry goes. They may not be competitive but I'm paying for quality of service and knowledge. I don't always go with the cheapest cost. Their people are courteous and they do good work inside and outside the home.
Description of Work: I used Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling for duct cleaning, plumbing and an air conditioner tune up. It was a pretty substantial thing.

The technician arrived on time and did a complete inspection. He stated that the valves in the compressor were not functioning properly. Due to the age of the unit and no existing warranty, we would need a replacement. His estimate was approx $2105. The issue I am having is that the unit seems to work just fine as long as it stays below 90 degrees outside. If the valves are not functioning properly, why would it work sometimes and not others? So I was a little confused. In addition to that, in June I hired a different A/C company to perform a tune up on my system. This company was also A rated by Angie's List and their technician mentioned nothing about the valves in the compressor not functioing properly. It is important to note that it was cool that day and that technician was not able to test the pressure because it was too cool outside. When this was told to the Hutchinson technician, he did not understand why the first guy couldn't test the pressure and also didn't understand why the didn't notice the valves in the compressor were bad. After the visit from Hutchinson, I remembered that I had PSEG Warranty protection on my A/C unit. I figured that if I did in fact need a new compressor, it might be covered. The PSEG rep inspected the unit about 3 days later and he said that there was nothing wrong with the compressor. He said the unit was working as hard as it could and the reason that cold air was not coming out on hot days had more to do with the type of unit in the attic and the house we had.At this point I do not know who to believe. Did the first company I call miss something or was the unit working just fine when he was there? Is the Hutchinson rep being honest about needing a new compressor or just trying to get me to spend more money when I don't need to? Is the PSEG rep correct that there is nothing wrong with the compressor or is he just trying to save PSEG money? I have no issues with Hutchinson other than the fact that I have no way to verify what they told me. Because, of this I am not sure I would hire them again. If it turns out that they were right, I will update my review.
Description of Work: Inspected my A/C unit because it was not functioning properly when the tempature reached over 90 degrees.

Their reputation made me choose them. Their employees are very well skilled. They are clean and use a little booties on their feet which I love. They are good people. Pricing is expensive but you get what you paid for.
Description of Work: I had a new heating and air conditioning system placed last year done by Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling. Also, they come every fall and spring to check for the air conditioning during the spring, and the heating appliance during the fall.

They did a great job. Punctual, clean and courteous. The guy was working in a very confined space but still managed to get everything done on time. Another crew came in to do the dryer vent cleaning and they were the same - very nice young men. I thought their prices were a little high but I can't complain about the service.
Description of Work: They installed a whole-house humidifier and cleaned my dryer vents.

The Hutchinson technician arrived very soon after I called and was correct in his assessment of the problem. Since we have a contract with the utility company, we called them. They had trouble figuring out the cause of the failure, but replaced a part the Hutchinson guy mentioned. They left without fully solving the problem, which, left unresolved, would have caused the new part to fail again shortly. We were able to use the information from the Hutchinson technician to finish fixing the problem ourselves. The result: we are impressed by the promptness and accuracy of the Hutchinson man, and are considering replacing our current service contract with one from Hutchinson in the near future.
Description of Work: A technician from Hutchinson came to help us figure out why the A/C had stopped working. He made a quick check, found that the problem area was part of the overall heating/coolng system, and since we have a contract with our utility company, he stopped there and billed us only for a housecall fee and his (correct) diagnosis.

It went very well. Instead of charging me for the service fee at $99 plus parts, he suggested that I purchase the 1 year service contract and everything would be covered. He took the time to show and explain what he needed to do.
Description of Work: My A/C was blowing warm air. Upon inspection, the technician determined that I needed a capacitor. He also cleaned the condensor and performed preventive maintenance.

It went well. They initially attempted to perform the service, but found broken pipes and water in the crawl space. They told me that I would need to have that taken care of before they could clean out the dryer vent. (I had my condo association contact a plumber to fix the problem). Hutchinson returned to perform the service a few days later. I was very pleased with their professionalism and quality.
Description of Work: They brushed out the dryer vent.

They do good work. I've used them many times in the past for plumbing and my central AC system. They come on time and are punctual. I recently had them out to inspect my chimney and they recommended I look at a chimney repair company, but they didn't charge me for the visit which speaks highly of them. I call them for all my plumbing and AC needs.
Description of Work: The last time they worked for me, they put in a new faucet and toilet.

The sales rep was very responsive. I had a ton of questions and he answered them all. As for the actual install, it was very smooth. The install team was great. They arrived on time and left no mess. And according to the inspectors that came out from our town and state, the install team did a great job re-working our water/gas lines to accommodate the tankless water heater. I had two minor issues after the install re: some paperwork and a missing cover for the AC filter that took some time to resolve. I had to call repeatedly to get those issues resolved. It was just a matter of speaking to the right person to handle the issue. Overall, we are very satisfied with the work done by Hutchinson. With the new HVAC system, we have seen a significant savings in our electric/gas bills each month even though the AC is set at a higher temp.
Description of Work: We had Hutchinson install a new furnace, heat pump, tankless water heater, and some dampers. They also added more insulation to our attic, sealed up any air leaks, and cleaned our ducts.

The quality is what stood out about this company. The professionalism of the staff is really, really good. The installers were phenomenal. I would definitely recommend others to use them. They weren't the lowest quote that we'd got but they definitely gave us the best presentation and I think we got the best value for what we got.

My estimate experience with them wasn't as good. They weren't as responsive as the other companies were to my questions. They have a very good reputation. They were competitive with price, and actually a little lower than the place we actually chose. The sales person wasn't willing to explain things. The other companies were willing to explain things to me. I was spending a substantial amount of money and I had questions. To me if felt like I should know they have a good reputation and not have so many questions. Everyone recommends different products, brands, and solutions to problems. I was considering using them, but the whole process would have been a pain. I thought I would have been an annoyance while trying to get explainations for things.
