They do a good job I guess. They seemed very courteous. I don’t think they have anything to improve upon. They do a fine job. I would use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used A Abel Heating & Air Cond Inc for pest control. I last used their services probably three weeks ago. They did pest control for us.

I didn't have the leaks fixed because they would have had to remove all of the handles to get into the wall. I wasn't ready to have all of that work done. They did what they said they would. They gave me an estimate on how much the work would be to fix the leaks.
Description of Work: They did drain cleaning. They also checked out some leaks.

I am very happy with the work they did. I was a little disappointed on how the handled communications and scheduling the work. But, the fact they did a lot more than they quoted has made a very good impression on me.
Description of Work: First step - Obtaining a quote. I had a little difficulty in contacting the company. But, I believe this made a little more difficult due to a holiday. I was a little disappointed to find out their free quote costs $85.00 Second Step - They cleaned up the bat guano and repaired the hole the bats were using. They when above and beyond the quote on the work quoted.

We are very happy with this company. We started a contract with them 20 years ago and it is a lifetime contract. They come promptly and never leave a mess. Their billing is prompt. Their office staff is courteous and on top of things. They get in and out quickly. They are very knowledgeable about their product.

He was losing power, they inspected it and said the box should be replaced (we had gotten the same diagnosis earlier from another service provider). They came out quickly, looked at how the set up was done, which required for replacement by a new model that all four condo units be replaced at once. The talked to the condo manager, but the condo management would not replace the unit. So A-Abel found a used one the same model as my father-in-law's and replaced it in the same day at a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: They replaced a main service breaker box with the same model as the original in my father-in-law's condo.

We had called them to do some work on our air conditioner when we first moved into our house. They came out immediately. Their representative Simon that worked on it did a very simple repair and he was fantastic. Their price was very reasonable. It was under $200 which was extremely reasonable. It might have even been under $100. They did a fantastic job and they were extremely professional. They were great. It was a minor work that needed to be done. He was in and out. He got right on it and did a great job. He was knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions that we might have had. He was very friendly. Our air conditioner was not working. He got it up and working. It was very helpful as there were terrible heat waves. They were wonderful and we would use them again as we were very impressed. They came right away within an hour on the day that we called them. They had contractors to do a bunch of different things.
Description of Work: We have used the services of A Abel Heating and Air Conditioning Incorporated during the summer a year and a half ago for air conditioning repair as our air conditioner was not working.

It was a very minor job. Everything that they did was quite satisfactory. They came promptly and made the repair and were on their way. I would use their services in the future too.
Description of Work: A-Abel Electric Inc did a minor repair to an overhead lamp in my kitchen that needed a rheostat back in the spring. It was a lamp over the kitchen table that needed a new dimmer switch.

Poorly because the company never provided an estimate even after a visit to the home to determine work. A follow-up call two weeks later to office where receptionist stated the man would send me one that day or get back to me. Now, two weeks later, again no communication. If I can't get an estimate when they say, how will they do their work on time??
Description of Work: Wanted an estimate for plumbing work...install new toilets, grab bars, door handles. Man came out next day after contacting home office. Said he would give estimate in a couple of days. One month later, and two phone calls, no estimate.

After being told by another company that my heat exchanger was cracked I decided to seek a second opinion from A Able, who had done plumbing work for me in the past. It turned out that there was no crack and my furnace is fine. The furnace was cleaned and checked. This company saved me $4500!

Jacob Blommel at Aabel has done electrical work on this house before, so I asked for him again. He and his partner arrived in the time window I was told. I thought about having the light switch moved across the room to where there's an outlet, but they suggested just putting it on the other side of the wall, outside the bathroom door. Easier and less expensive, and I don't mind having the switch there, so it was good. They did a good job, took care of it right away. If there are any problems, I can call them to fix it. Also, all wires have been removed from the first switch box, so there's something else up to code now. I have an old house, so it's full of strange little things like this.
Description of Work: I needed to have a light switch moved out of the bathroom. It was too near the shower (heh, it was in the shower).

I had mice in my attic. The service tech came out, inspected the house and advised on how to seal off entrances and pointed me to different traps/methods of DIY extermination vs him taking out the ones I had and other mice re-entering b/c the house wasn't sealed. I consider being upfront and advising what I don't need to be as equally valuable as telling I do need.

air duct cleaning
  + -1 more
I got an appointment for the cleaning within a couple of days of my call. The air duct cleaner was working alone and as a result, was running pretty late, which I couldn't blame him for. He did make it in the window of time that I was told to expect him, but ended up staying till after 7 pm to finish up. He really seemed to know what he was doing and worked very quickly and efficiently. I didn't know he'd have to go in the crawlspace, which I wouldn't wish on anybody, but he was a real champ and it didn't seem to bother him a bit. He was great about putting things back where they belonged when he was done. Everything seems to be fine now, so based on what I can tell he did a great job. Very good work ethic.
Description of Work: Air ducts cleaned for small old house - 3 intakes, 12 registers, crawlspace. Not all the registers or vents could be opened, so a lot of the work was done via the crawlspace. Vacuumed out vents and intake in furnace.

One of the owners, Jim, came out to do my quote. He listened to me, and gave me the quote that I asked for. He told me a lot about the HVAC install and what should be performed. He knew I was getting a lot of other quotes, and was a little pushy, but everyone was. He bragged about how he would take a look at my old system to see if he could fix it, but ended up forgetting about it (I didn't remind him though, he probably would have if I would have reminded him of this). They offered a lot of great services, would do the install well, looked like a great company, but I didn't choose them. The main reason was that the main brand he was trying to sell me on was a Maytag, and I just didn't want it, as a Maytag is a Nordyne with another label on it. I feel that this would be a good contractor, but it wasn't the best fit for me. Only thing I didn't like - he "made" me watch a video about Maytag's IQ drive, it was 10-15 minutes long, and I really didn't want to watch it. It didn't sell me on the system anyways. I think he just wanted to see my home theater.......

Contacted AAble, set appointment and technician arrived on time. He was very professional, explained what he would do and why. No pressure. Parted friends and I would ask for the same man again.
Description of Work: Inspected the unit, explained what was going on and why we were not getting air into the house. Added refrigerant, spent time explaing how I could tell if the refrigerant was running low. In the event there might be a small leak. Very plesant visit. Price included their "run" cost. Thank you Simon.

We sold our home, and the buyer's home inspector found a gas leak around our hot water heater. We called A Abel and they came out the next day to repair it. The service-man was neat and professional. He got the job done quickly, and made sure there were no other gas leaks in the immediate area. We felt the price was fair for the work done, and would call them the next time we need plumbing service.

I called for an estimate. I checked them out with the credit bureau and they had a good record so I set up an appointment. They brought the water heater out but discovered that it had a defect. They said that they could possibly fix it but didn't recommend that. I agreed and was pleased that they didn't just go ahead w/o asking me. They came back with another unit a couple of days later. It didn't take long to install it. No more than 2 hours and it works fine. My neighbor also used them a couple of years ago and was pleased with their service.

I had 5 estimates, and they were the highest price by a couple of hundred, but the efficiency of the unit, and the warranty was far above what the other 4 could do, so it wasn't hard to make a decision. The salesman was no nonsense, and to the point. Exactly what I was looking for. 2 guys came out to remove the old, and install the new. It was a 1 day job. There were on time, and left by 4. No problems with the install. Overall I was extremely happy with the service and product provided.

We called to get an estimate, and the person who came out was knowledgeable and provided an estimate on the spot. When we decided to go with them, they were able to schedule us within a week. (By the way, their office staff is very friendly and helpful as well.) Our installer (Nick) was very competent and professional. In addition to the extensive install work, he also cleaned up the existing pipes/venting in our very cramped utility closet/area so that everything was more easily accessible. He clearly explained how everything worked and where any new pipes/shutoffs were located.
Description of Work: Replaced a very old water heater (tank) with a more efficient tankless model. This required them to not only remove the old unit and install the new one, but also to run a new vent pipe through the attic and roof for the new unit.
