I called on Saturday afternoon, and they gave me an appointment for Monday morning. The two technicians showed up around 8:30am. They got right to work, and I had hot water again by 11am. They were very punctual, polite, and professional. They did a great job.

water softeners
  + -1 more
I requested a plumber to give me an estimate to repair or replace my water softener and was told the trip charge would be $49.50. After the serviceman diagnosed the problem, I asked if a leak was coming from the softener or the A/C unit. He told me he didn't know anything about those but he said the leak was coming from the A/C unit and continued to try to locate the leak and make a possible diagnosis. Although I appreciate him looking at the unit for me, he told me he didn't know anything about it and I did not realize I was being charged by the minute. When I objected to the bill of $149.50, the supv agreed to take off $50 for the time spent looking at the A/C unit. The time charge is in addition to the trip charge and I was not told during my initial call. Time charge for this company is $100 per hour. Perhaps I am living in the dark ages but I think this amount is excessive. After further research, I found I can get my softener replaced at a lesser estimate than $1100 to $1300.
Description of Work: Plumber arrived next day after rescheduling and located problem with water softener within 15 minutes. He spent another 15 minutes explaining all my options. Unit needed to be replaced but I felt the estimate was high (between $1100 and $1300 depending on which unit I purchased). I also had the option of removing the old unit myself and purchasing a new unit elsewhere and having A Abel install it at a cost of $100 per hour. He stated it would take 2 to 3 hours to install and he listed the type of unit I would need to purchase (30 grains).

They have many options you can choose from. They have different maintenance schedules you can sign up for based on your needs. They have air filtrations systems. The staff seems honest and not apprehensive at all to answer questions.

They were prompt and professional. The representative was a little too chatty, but he seemed to do a good job. They didn't really follow up like they said that they would, and there was a little bit of confusion on follow-up prices. Overall my experience was okay.

They were very experienced. One of the gentlemen that headed up the company had been in the business for about 40 years. Because removing a well pipe is somewhat dangerous they brought a bunch of people out to do the initial extraction. I was impressed that they had enough people to do the job and that they knew how to allocate their resources. They knew exactly what they were doing. I thought they were excellent.
Description of Work: They came to my home and replaced the well pump, pressure tank and the switch.

I called A Able Exterminating (formerly Allied Termite & Pest Control) on Monday, and received an appointment for Wednesday. Chris was here on time and promptly killed most of the hive the first day. He came back a few days later to hit it again and kill the remaining few. The work was all done from outside. We were very pleased!
Description of Work: We had a yellow jacket bee infestation between the first and second story of our home. They could be heard in the first floor ceiling and even had just broken through the ceiling and into the living room. About 50 got into the house before I got a patch on the ceiling. Most went to the light (the windows) and were knocked down by bug spray, the rest were crushed with a rag. Hundreds remained in the ceiling!

The former owners of our house had three small dogs, and there were some pet stains on the carpet. Also there were black marks in the living room from a recliner. We had the carpets dry cleaned, and all of the spots and stains came out. The technician was very professional, and worked efficiently hard to get a thorough cleaning done. The carpets looked like new when he was finished. We will hire them again for this service.
Description of Work: Carpets cleaned in three bedrooms, hallway, living room and dining room.

When the tech arrived I showed him that the light was blinking 9 times indicating a bad hot surface igniter. He insisted the igniter was good and that I needed an entirely new computer board at a cost of $400 and $75 for him to find the part even though he did not do any troubleshooting of the furnace. I declined his advice and called another company which came out and replaced the igniter and the furnace worked fine for about $100. This was clearly a con attempt, or supreme incompetence. I will never call them again, and I suggest you don't either.
Description of Work: I called A-Abel Heating and A/C to check my furnace which would not ignite.

Nick came for the estimate and he listened to all the complaints/problems we were having. He then recommended a plan of action and 1 day later mailed the estimate (he also called to let us know it was on its way). He arrived with an assistant, Sam and they informed us of each step (as we had questions). During the whole process we knew what was happening (we don't really understand plumbing), why and how they were correcting the problems. These men cleaned up like it was their own house, hauled trash away, and were very professional, as well as mannerly. The only complaint is that company policy does not allow employees to accept tips, which was something we felt was necessary due to the quality of work and character of the men.
Description of Work: Installed condensate pump, corrected improper connection of water heater (previous owner did it), removed old, unused piping (which was causing a problem), installed washer drainage box, rerouted drain, used the camera to view the pipe to the street and cleaned pipe to the street. All this was done to stop ground water flooding of our basement and correct problems created by previous owner. The work corrected the problem, just as we were told it would.

I thought they were very polite and professional. They arrived on time and wore shoe covers so they didnt mess up my carpet. Even though I did think they were a little on the expensive side, their work and the unit was worth the cost. The guys that came out explained everything very well. I would recommend them for sure.
