this company installed a $6000 boiler for me a couple years ago, and while they were far from the low bidder, i went with them because i had heard they were the best in the city. That job went fine as far as quality went. But now recent repairs to the system did not, and i won't be calling them again if i can avoid it. Does $917 seem like a lot for a radiator valve and two traps? It does to me. They skimmed the 2 yr old boiler also, which was unnecessary as it turned out. The two traps may also have been unnecessary, as their replacement did not fix a non-heating radiator. Subsequent adjusting the slope of a basement return pipe did the trick. So the work was less than wonderful, but customer service was even worse, and was frankly unprofessional. It took several phone calls to finally get a repair man to the house. Several more calls never did not produce another visit needed to repair a leaking radiator pipe, and I got someone else to do it. I did not receive calls from them when promised, and received lame explanations for delays. Overrated, overpriced. Worst trade experience I've had in several years.

Response from Verne & Ellsworth Hann
The charges are the total for three separate service calls to the duplex. Included in that amount is the re-piping of two traps not simply just swapping them out. It is not odd, but rather routine to have to skim a two-year-old boiler in order to maintain maximum efficiency. After making these repairs the radiators were heating and not leaking when we left. As far as scheduling, we arrived when the appointments were scheduled. Scheduling appointments was not easy as this is a rental property and three different parties were involved.

The job cost me $125, including the parts. They have a long history in my area. They came highly recommended by people around me. They were very familiar with what they were doing. They were very professional. They had excellent pricing, as compared to the other companies I had contacted. However, they took a long time to get back to me. Overall, I had a very good experience with them. I?d hire them back again.

I have no problem with anything except the price I was charged for the estimate.
Description of Work: I was charged $200. for a technician to come out and do an estimate on leaky radiator. Enough said. Just be forewarned. I have had estimates done by two other companies, and each came out to less than half of what Verne Ellsworth and Hann charged.

Response from Verne & Ellsworth Hann
She called us and requested a plumbing service call for a water leak through her ceiling. We sent a plumber over and he opened up her plaster ceiling and discovered a heating pipe to a radiator was leaking. We then sent over a heating tech. to inspect, so we could give her an estimate for the repairs to her radiator pipe. The 200.00 charge was for our two technicians labor to locate and diagnose the problem.

Even though I have nothing to compare it to I feel like we get our moneys worth. They give you a time frame in which they will show up to your home and then call when they are on their way. They are very responsive to our needs and I have no complaints.

It was a lot of money but it was worth it to get it done well and to get it done right. They are very responsible, they do very good work, and they do it when they say they will.

We could not ask for better service. They are consistently professional and "on the ball."
Description of Work: We were to shortly leave to go on vacation when the shower valve would not shut off completely. We called this company and they arranged to come out within the hour. The plumber disassembled the shower fixture, replaced some parts and it now works perfectly. This was back in June, it is now September, and we have had no further problem with it.

We have used Verne & Ellsworth Hann in the past and will certainly use them in the future as they do excellent work and are right in our neighborhood. However, for this job, their price came in several hundred dollars higher than the company we ended up going with, which also had a good reputation.

These guys were great!. The estimating by Chris gave us ideas about how to save money as well as considering doing both the A/C & furnace at the same time., He also showed us several options of different models to compare cost versu features. The quote was the best cost and we noticed they had a great Angie's List reputation. When they arrived to do the installation, they were very careful to cover all of the floors where they had to carry the equipment in and out ot the house. They cleaned up well every day. (The installation took 3 days) The owner (Chris) came out to visit and check on progress. The installation is neat and well plumbed. Even the county inspector mentioned that he thought the work was well done. I would certainly recommend them to ohters.

This job took about two months because when we first bid the job the holidays were quickly approaching and then due to extremely cold weather in January and a personal emeergency with the company the job could not be done until early February when there was a warm-up. the house was without heat for three days due to the complexity of the job. Once things got started everything went according to plan, and we are completely happy with the new boiler and the performance we're getting from it, and we are very happy with the service we got both from Verne & Ellsworth Hann and Residential Asbestos Removal. We are fully anticipating our monthly gas budget to drop.
Description of Work: We had an approximately 75 year old gas boiler as our primary heat source for our home that needed to be replaced due to leaking CO2 and inefficiency. This was a two-stage job because the old boiler had asbestos insulation that had to be first removed by an outside contractor.

I was really happy with the work they did. They had a schedule and they arranged for the removal of the asbestos as they didn't do it themselves. The people who removed it were incredibly professional as well. They had our furnace up and running sooner than the dead line they gave us. We had gotten a couple of estimates and I am quite happy I picked Verne and Ellsworth Hann Inc. We have recommended them to other friends as well.

Returned my call promptly. Set up an appointment within a few days. Provided the estimate within a week of the initial appointment. Provided referrals for subcontractors for asbestos removal, which would be necessary before furnace replacement. We didn't have the work done at this time due to budgetary restraints, but will seriously consider using this company when we do have the work done.

Overall, it went well. They are very knowledgeable and was able to answer questions. However, we have decided to go with another company due to a lower cost and different furnace manufacturer, although their price was the highest of our 3 estimates by about $500, and didn't include the moving of our A/C unit outside.

The plumber was very professional and explained things to us thoroughly. The company also helped us shop around for new parts and looked into sources we found ourselves that offered what we needed. They addressed our problem promptly and apparently replaced the old parts as soon as the new ones were available (we had to wait for them to be shipped to their shop). The area was clean and ready to go after the work was done. They also recommended and installed shut off valves for us in the access panel for the shower (it's an old house). We also received advice about our slow drain and the hazards of snaking old pipes. Overall, we were very satisfied with their very professional service.
Description of Work: We had various problems with the faucet and handles in our tub. The bathtub spigot was pouring water when the shower was on. Also, the hot water was leaking and the handles needed to be turned too far to shut the water off. To solve these problems, the valve apparatus behind the wall needed to be replaced. We also got new fixtures (our existing fixtures would not fit the new valves).
