Perfectly well
Description of Work: My boiler kept shutting down. They diagnosed the problem and gave me a safe, economical solution. This is the second time I have used Chapman Brothers and both times were the best experience. They will be the first ones I call because they are prompt, professional and customer-minded!

We did not contracted with them, but we tried and the experience was not good.
Description of Work: We obtained an estimate for a boiler from this company and we liked what we heard. We called them back to sign the contract and the gentleman never responded to our calls. We finally got in contact with him and when told we had left him several voicemails on his phone and at his office, he denied it which was completely unprofessional. He then called back about two weeks later trying to book a date and by then we had already chosen a much more responsive and responsible company.

They came out to my home and checked everything out, then they left and never got back to me with an actual estimate. I called them and they apologized and said that they would call me back with the estimate and never did. They were very professional and knowledgeable when they were out to my home. They came out on time for the estimate. It was very positive up until their not calling me back.

I had service done by another company who looked at the unit and he did not fix it as I thought he did. So instead of hiring him again, I hired Chapman Brothers. Chapman Brothers came out and looked over the Unit. He explained to me what was going on with the unit, they installed a new one and I am very pleased with their service. They were very reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Our A/C unit stopped working. It was due to a burnt out circuit. We needed a new A/C Unit.

The job was acceptable. I was quoted $90 for the first hour on the phone and they charged me $100 when they came. I was very satisfied with the job they did on the boiler in my house three years ago as well. They are very good as far as installation of boilers. They could be a little neater when they work. I just wish that they would wear something on their shoes to keep things clean. I called them on a Sunday though and they came out the following day.
Description of Work: They unclogged the drains in my kitchen and bathroom sinks by snaking it out.

water heater repair

They were very prompt with returning my call and the plumber who came to the house was very polite. However, after being in my basement for approximately 2 minutes, he was able to tell me that the water was not coming from my water heater. He suspected it was my air conditioning system but was unable to help me because he was not an A/C repairman. I thanked him for coming out and he said I would probably receive a bill in the mail for the call. I asked him how much the service call would be since they didn't actually repair anything and he seemed to think it would be $50-$60 which seemed fair to me. A week or so later, I received a bill for $160 in the mail which seemed exorbitant to me since they hadn't actually repaired anything! In fact, their bill was about $40 higher than what I paid the actual A/C repairman who fixed the problem! I called to complain and after some persistence I was able to get them to provide me with a 50% discount.
Description of Work: They came to my home on a Saturday morning for an emergency call because there was water in my basement and I thought my water heater had died.

They were very nice people and did the work at a good price. They gave me two options: one that only involved connecting it to the outside connection. Another company didn't even offer that option. I am very pleased with their service.
