Description of Work: These guys are great. When they came to install my water heater, they discovered that the old one was some weird, discontinued model, so replacing it was a bigger production than they had thought. But they said since they had already given me a price for the job, they would stick to that price and eat the cost. Then Dave came out on a Saturday to reset the heater (floor polish fumes had caused it to shut off). And then my bathtub leaked down to the first floor and they talked to me right away and came the next morning. These guys are the best!

Description of Work: Troubleshoot a whole house humidifier., Al, the service technician, located the problem and got the unit working again efficiently. Explained what was broken and replaced the part. This took approximately 45 minutes. When asked to look at a bathroom faucet that was leaking, he did, but rather than diagnose the problem, he simply stated it was old and to buy a new one. I will have another provider look at before taking that step as it may just be something simple.

Stan Palaka is THE BEST. When other heating & A/C companies will quote you a new furnace for $5000, Stan will quote you $47 to replace the broken part that is causing the problem. When you talk to Stan about your options, he will truthfully assess your situation, and assure you that it's still easy to get parts for your 50-year old boiler, but not-so-easy to get parts for the brand-new state-of-the-art furnace you've been eyeballing. When your boiler's new circulation pump dies, Stan is there that day or the next with a replacement. Top Notch Climate Controls is one of the best merchants I've ever dealt with -- reasonable prices, honest, polite, patient and leaves your work-site spotless when he is done. You will NOT be sorry for calling Top Notch.
Description of Work: Replace 33 feet of baseboard heating, install some extra valves.

The experience was fabulous. They gave me the quotes upfront and allowed me to pay it off over a few months. The technicians arrived on time, were efficient, and very easy to work with. Their follow up was great and did everything that they said they would do. It couldn’t have been a better experience!

We had a service provider for many years that apparently did some maintenance and repairs that turned out to be quick fix rather than actual repairs. He might have felt that he was saving us money and doing us a favor, however, in the end, the work performed actually caused irreparable damage. A new company was hired to get the system working and after many replaced parts and lots of money, the furnace failed and the AC coil continued to leak. We got an estimate of $ 10,000. from this company to replace the furnace and entire AC system including the condenser and coil. I did not want the relatively new condenser replaced, but this company would not budge on wanting to replace everything. The fact that I had spent so much money with them for service and repairs, which turned out to be for nothing, had no value to them and they were willing to lose the job rather than comply with my request or negotiate a better price. I had three other companies come out to provide estimates all of whom felt that there was no need to replace the AC condenser. I selected Top Notch to perform the work for many reasons. They were highly recommended to me by another professional in the home repair business as well as by a neighbor. Stan from Top Notch was highly experienced with oil fired furnaces and willing to discuss our options. He was knowledgeable in all aspects of heating and AC. He was able to do all the required work including all sheet metal work, installation of an air cleaner, humidifier and thermostat in addition to repairs to our hot water heater. His prices were very reasonable and he did everything to help us save money. He never charged us extra when he had to come out for emergencies when the system, the AC in particular, completely crashed and forced Stan to replace the coil earlier than expected during a very hot summer. The replacement of the furnace followed later in September. The work was performed quickly and efficiently and Stan remained involved by staying in touch with us to make certain that everything was OK and that we were happy with the new system. With all the problems that we had previously with our equipment and service providers, Stan truly stands above the rest. He is committed to his work, products and customers.
Description of Work: Top Notch replaced a 30yr old malfunctioning furnace and AC coil with a new Comfortmaker oil fired hot air furnace and case coil. They also installed a Honeywell digital thermostat, Honeywell bypass humidifier, Honeywell media air cleaner in addition to a variety of other work to our heating, AC and hot water systems.

Went great, instead of hawking us a new heater he found the problem. Very fair and ethical. Probably the most ethical I have dealt with in years.
Description of Work: Stan from Top Notch came out on a saturday when our heater died. His response time was great. He found the problem quickly, got us heat temporarily and had to get a part. Came back the following monday and installed the part. Definitely will use his company again!

Stan arrived on time to give an estimate. He explained all the options, we spoke about the issues of my current unit which was not properly cooling the space, and what to do to fix that problem. We decided to get a larger multi-zone unit and install an additional indoor unit. They did the entire installation in one day, I left them in my apartment alone and when I got back everything was completed and cleaned up and it looked no-one was ever there. The new units work great. I would recommend top notch to anyone who needs a mini-split installation.
Description of Work: Removed an old Mitsubishi mini-split a/c and installed a larger compressor unit along with 2 new indoor units.

Very happy with Top Notch. They were recommended from a friend. Since I have recommended him to both my mom and brother and both are equally happy. You can feel safe with Top Notch. They take pride in their work. You don't feel like they are trying to get every penny out of you. They are respectful and honest.
Description of Work: Our previous A/C maintenance company wanted us to spend 10,000 for a new A/C Heating System. A chipmunk ate through the component outside. Top Notch came for a 2nd opinion. For 45.00 component and service call he saved us thousands of dollars.

Stan and his crew were professional from start to finish. At the proposal stage, they gave us the most complete proposal and estimate, with extensive literature and an on-site walk-through of the proposal. They were the only contractors who were willing to go through the formal permitting process with the city of Hoboken---in fact, they strongly recommended that we dot every "i" and cross every "t". It took them 6 months and multiple trips to the city building department, but they go the necessary permits---I commend Stan's willingness to stick with it to make sure that everything that needed to get done got done. The actual job itself went very smoothly. Their crew installed the system over 5 working days, braving some of the worst winter weather (snow, wind, cold, you name it). On the wet days, their crew was courteous enough to remove their shoes when they came into the condo. The attention to detail and workmanship was quite evident. Our rather picky neighbor was worried about how the system would look in the end, and even he was very impressed by the very tidy and professional looking result. Their bid was not the lowest (though certainly reasonable), but their thoroughness and their attention to detail was impressive, and was worth every penny. I would not hesitate to recommend Stan and his crew. Top Notch really lives up to its name.

Stan is the best. I would like to say that over the past few years - he has installed central air, expanded our baseboard heat and installed a heating unit in our garage. Very knowledgable, very professional and trustworthy. We have referred him to quite a few people - we have heard only good things about Stan.

Overall - my experience was great! I was very happy with Top Notch Climate Control, LLC. Stan was easy to get in touch with via phone and email. He was kind, courteous and professional on the phone and in person. He came out right away (and on a Saturday) and arrived at the time he said he would. Stan was patient while I explained what the other AC people did (or didn't do) to my system and he listened to all the facts before beginning to troubleshoot. He was a nice guy and I recommend his service. He's rates were fair and competitive too!
Description of Work: My electrician (Not Top Notch Climate Control - another contractor) shorted out my AC and could not find the problem. The system (Heat Pump) wouldn't turn on anymore. I had 3 different AC guys come out and no one could find the problem and restore working order. Stan came out and was able to quickly and easily diagnose the system and resolve it. He installed a new Thermostat (which I already had purchased and had on-hand) while he was there. The job took about an hour in total!
