Couldn't be better ! We contracted the project, left them the keys and went on vacation. On our return,the new system had been installed and tested, worked perfectly first time we turned it on. Quality of parts used and workmanship was as good as I have ever seen. The technician vacuumed the basement area clean and freshened it with Lysol before he left. Couldn't ask for any better service. I have been dealing with Burt's for over 20 years and they just seem to get better every year. If you live on the east end of Long Island, these are the guys to go to for HVAC projects and service.
Description of Work: Replace existing hot-water boiler/oil-fired burner with new Peerless system.

Approximately 1 week after a complete system service the boiler would not turn on. To their credit a technician showed up at 2AM to fix the problem. While it was nice to have someone show up in the middle of the night to fix the heat, I suspect that the problem was caused by their service the prior week. You end up paying a lot extra for oil deliveries vs. the competition. Combination of service quality and expensive ooil caused me to switch to another oil and service provider.

Burt's Reliable is fabulous. We use them all the time. They're very reliable, I would recommend them. We had redone the kitchen and they had to re-connect everything. They're reasonable. They're not cheap but they're not rip-offs either.
Description of Work: They provide oil for the house and they do plumbing.

The only story is that there was a problem with air building up in the line making the house sound like a river was running through it when the heat came on. They bled the lines a few times but the problem kept coming back, but Burt's also kept coming back until they solved the problem. I don't know what it was nor what they did to fix it (this was a year or two ago) but they fixed it and there was no additional charge. We're very happy with them.
Description of Work: We use Burt's for our heating oil and service contracts for the system, which includes system checks and fixes and they've always shown up soon after a call. When a problem has persisted they've helped resolve it quickly and without additional charges. We renew with them every year.

We have used Burts for years as our oil supplier. We developed a leak in the upstairs bathroom from the jetted tub. Made an appointment and the service man came and found the problem. Needed a part. Made another appointment to return which he did and repaired the problem and patched the ceiling in the room below. All on time and professionally done

It went very well. See above
Description of Work: We have an a/c service contract with Burts Reliable for our central a/c, which they had installed in 2003 in our summer house in Mattituck, NY. Once a year we have them service our unit (April) and they are thorough, pleasant, and willing to go up into our attic which is where most of the equipment is. We had a recent problem with humidity levels being high and called them in, setting up an appt. for 6/29. When I first called in with the problem they were willing to send someone that day, which was nice, but 6/29 worked out to be a better date for us. The tech. (Matt) was very courteous and knowledgable and seemed to know what the problem was right away once he examined our equip. in the attic. We had an older type trap on our evaporator unit which may have filled up with debris over the years and not allowed all the water to flow through easily hereby decreasing the humidity being taken out of the air. He showed us what the new trap looked like, explained the approx. cost of $40 and that the new one could be cleaned out every year when our unit is serviced. The older trap couldn't be opened for servicing. He also did a thorough check of our unit and checked the air flow and temp. coming from our vents in each room. He also made suggestions on how our unit might function more efficiently. He even offered to take our ladder and put it back where it belonged...we had to set up the ladder for him to get to the attic, we appreciated his offer but did it ourselves.Assuming when we receive the bill it's in the $40 range as stated, this was a very good experience.

Arrived quickly after being called (within a few hours) performed repair quickly and correctly, cleaned up after themselves and left us satisfied. What more can you say?
Description of Work: We have used Burt's for 11 years for oil purchases, heating/ac installation, and plumbing repairs and bath remodeling. They have installed heating systems in 3 different houses, both in personal and investment homes, performed bathroom renovations in 9 different bathrooms, and we plan to use them for all such work again in the future if the need arises. They have always been prompt and professional and fair in their estimates. The recent visit was for repair of sink drain. I am a little disappointed that they recently raised their labor rate a bit, but that's life, and I am guessing they are in line with other area vendors as far as price goes...but I'm not going out shopping for a new plumber just to save $20 on a one hour plumbing repair. I'm very satisfied and sticking with a terrific vendor.

The previous people that ran the company have sold their business to Burt. They have maintained the good service, pricing, and the discount contracts that we have and things like that. They are quite big, and their prices seem to be totally competitive. They send people once a year to adjust and clean the furnace and everything else. It is all very good.
