Technician Rick provided prompt, professional service and solved problem of clogged drain from air conditioner. However, we have a maintenance agreement with this company and were supposed to get 10% off. Rick said he gave us 5% off. No discount appeared on the bill. We contacted the office, and Tom said they never discount the diagnostic fee of $89. He said the normal labor charge is $57, and we paid $52, which is the discounted fee, and that the discount does not appear as a separarte item. We wrongly thought we would get 10% off the total call. Also, $52 is not 10% off $57. The correct discount from $57 would be $51.30. We were disappointed in the price and the discount, although we did receive good service. We previously paid another company $85 for unclogging the same drain, so we know Drabek and Hill's price, even with a discount, was high, although the service was good. .
Description of Work: We called Drabek and Hill the morning of July 9, 2012. The company sent a technician the same day. He was to arrive between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. He called at 5:00 p.m. and arived at 5:30. Technician Rick found a clogged condensate drain from our air conditioner, which had caused water to run out on the garage floor. He used a shop vac to clear the drain and checked the drain pan. The line drains properly now.

They were prompt and on time, steady working, (we first had an estimate from a very knowledgeable and business like person) and the service was fine. I was impressed that they tried every way to save us money by suggestions and opinions. We have used Drabek before and having always had very good service and they go the extra mile even coming by on their way home to make a last minute call if you have a problem. The summers are really hot in Oklahoma and a lot can happen. Drabek & HIll are the people to use if you want honest hard working service people. I like it that they have been in this city for a long time. This family only uses companys that make their home in this city and and have a very good reputation.
Description of Work: Installed new condensing unit 3.5 ton with coil and cased , new Lennox condenser and American Standard coil.

Very professional, called to verify, to let me know that the technician was on his way and to follow up.
Description of Work: Troubleshooting for sour smell in A/C. Determined that the coil needed cleaning, gave estimate for $400. I had to postpone the cleaning appointment because of a family emergency, then decided to wait until I could look into just replacing the entire system since the house is older. Definitely want them to do the work once I decide.

The installation went great and the overall experience was good the only problem was the tec that lied about checking the connections.
Description of Work: Had Keith from Drabek @ Hill come to my house for estimate on tankless hot water heater and new furnice. Listened to pros and cons of natural gas and electric. Decided to have new units put in the following week. Took 3 days to remove and intall new equiptment. The guys were great really professional and did a excellent job. The only problem I had was after the inspections were complete they sent out some one when the heating unit would not come on he reset a switch turned the gas on and said it should not smell that strong pretended to check the connections which he faked said it was fine and left. That night I called after I turned gas off because I could smell it across the house.They sent someone the next day and the tec found one hose not connected and a gas line not connected. The only reason I mention this is the tec that came out the day before didnt check any of that like he said because it was right in front and very obvious.

My experience with Drabek and Hill was positive from the beginning. They were the third company from which we requested an estimate. Their prices were roughly comparable with the other two companies. However, Drabek and Hill was able to offer a much more specific quote that itemized exactly what equipment they would be installing, where they would install it, and how they would do it. They also presented us with two different plans for comparison, with options for different types of equipment. In the case of the other companies we requested quotes from, one was very vague about the type of equipment they would install, providing only the name of the manufacturer, and, in the case of another, they only wrote a price on the back of an envelope and when I asked for a detailed official quote, never called back. This was a fairly big job, and I did not want to work with a company that could not provide details about what they were going to do. My experience with Drabek and Hill was quite different. Claude Drabek, the owner, came over to my house to inspect the house and prepare the quote. He came back over a couple of days later with a detailed proposal. When they started work a few weeks later, he came over to make sure the job was going well. The final cost was exactly what he said it would be, and the upstairs and downstairs systems work exactly as expected -- that is to say, very well. The technicians who installed the systems were very professional and courteous. They answered questions while they were working and politely informed me of what they were doing. They tested the upstairs and downstairs systems when they were installed at the end of summer. A few weeks later, when it was starting to get cooler, a technician came over to make sure the heating was working properly, and (although it seemed fine to me) he re-calibrated the upstairs heating system. The technician also answered additional questions I had about the upstairs air-circulation system and the touchscreen thermostat. Both the upstairs and downstairs heating systems have been working very well. The central A/C, both upstairs and downstairs, worked great at the end of the summer.
Description of Work: Drabek and Hill installed a new A/C and electric heat pump for the second story of our house, and a new gas furnace and air-handler for the ground floor. These heating systems replaced an older boiler and radiator system. The downstairs system made use of an existing outside A/C unit, which was put together with a new air handler and high efficiency furnace, installed in the basement. The upstairs installation included new ducts, installing vents in every upstairs room and an air return in the main upstairs hallway. They also installed decking and lighting in the attic for access to the upstairs air handler. For the upstairs unit, they installed a touchscreen digital, programmable thermostat. For the downstairs, they re-used an existing digital, programmable thermostat. The upstairs and downstairs units came with a number of manufacturers rebates, which they filed for us. The upstairs and downstairs units also qualified for energy efficient tax credits. They contacted the manufacturer and mailed us the documentation for tax filing. They used their own electricians, plumbers, and metal workers to install the equipment.

Overall, they are a good company. They did a great job on the A/C.
Description of Work: They have done work for me before in the past but recently I told them my situation and my mother needed her A/C fixed so they cut me a break for being an Angie's List member. They did a great job. They fixed our A/C however, they had to come back the next day because of a loose wire.

I called them on Sat and they came right out. I had bought a new sink and facet, the sink was to deep for the plumbing. He could not repair it right then because of prior commitments however, would return on Tue. He also gave me information on a new garbage disposal from low end to high end and explained the difference in detail. He returned almost an hour early on Tue and completely redone the plumbing under the kitchen sink (I even have more usable space). It only took him a couple hours. I had been quoted by other companies that it would take at least 5 hours.

Not happy with this company.
Description of Work: On 10/17/07 I purchased a A.O. Smith, 40 gallon gas water heater with a 10 year replacement warranty. I bought this because it was a name brand heater and also thought this was a good company. I also had a local soft water company provide me with soft water to inter the tank to prolong the longevity of the tank. The local culligan dealer was no help what so ever. either and would not even communicate with me on this issue. On 7/18/11 I woke up to a leaking water tank. I immediately called Drabek & Hill to schedule a replacement with the warranty. They sent up one of their "no name" company's to replace the tank. They did not mention that it would be a large cost to replace the tank. ' After arriving they told me that the labor for this replacement would be $600. I could not believe that they would charge me that much for a simple job. The installers also said that I had only a 6 year warranty on the original tank.and I would only have about 2 years on the new unit for warranty. That's puts my cost on this unit to $1887.00 for a this water tank in 4 years. I just want to warn everybody on how this company does business with this senior citizen. Please be careful with this company and check around with others but good luck............ I will never do business with them again. After the replacement, I notice that a "small" aluminum step ladder is missing. It must have been the gents that replaced my water heater. Just another problem with this company

Response from Drabek & Hill Air Conditioning & Heating Inc.
On 10/17/07, this customer did purchase an A.O. Smith, 40 gallon, natural gas water heater. However, as printed on the invoice and original proposal, the warranties for this job included 1 year for labor and 6 years for all parts and the tank itself. As a result, when the tank leaked 4 years later, we were able to get a replacement tank at no charge, but had to bill the customer for the additional labor involved that was not covered. Unfortunately, when a tank is replaced under warranty, it does not restart or extend the timeframe of the original warranty in any way. Thus, the original 6 year term with the original end date is still in place. This is A.O. Smith policy. We apologize for any confusion regarding the duration and terms of the warranty. While Drabek & Hill does perform water heater installations, we also own a plumbing company named Mr. Comfort, Inc. This company is located at 1200 N. Council Rd. in Oklahoma City. This company is credible, licensed, bonded, and insured. This customer’s water heater began to leak in July of 2011 in the middle of 100+ degree weather when residents all over Oklahoma were in emergency situations and needed air conditioning quickly. Because of this, we arranged for Mr. Comfort to handle the water heater replacement. This was simply for the customer’s convenience, allowing him to attain hot water in a timely manner. We regret to hear that this customer was not satisfied with our work. We work diligently to make sure customers are fully aware of all details involved in a job and are comfortable with the work. Every applicant to Drabek & Hill and Mr. Comfort must pass a thorough background check and drug test prior to employment. We respect all of our customers and their belongings and would not send a member of one of our companies into their homes with any type of questionable character. In case the ladder was taken accidentally, we have offered to compensate this customer for the item. We hope this helps to create some peace of mind with our work.

They were great. I had no problem with them and I am still using the air conditioner. I don't have a yearly service contract with them. They changed the fuse and I paid them for that as it was outside the warranty. I was referred to them by a person in charge and they did a good job. Their responsiveness was good because they came out when it freezing cold at night.

I started working with Lester Hill prior to purchasing the house. He met with my realtor to evaluate the heating system and then give me an estimate for replacing it. I was out of state, so he had to make extra effort to explain the problems of the old system and his recommendations for replacement. We discussed the options to find a way to keep this project within my means and yet get the quality heating system I wanted. He was very responsive, always returned calls and emails, updated price quotes as needed. I was eager to get the heating system installed as soon as the purchase closed. Some problems with the closing required D & H to reschedule. They were great about it and came the next work day. The installers were polite, punctual, and cleaned up after the project. The job was done well.
Description of Work: A new high-efficiency furnace and new duct work were installed in the attic to replace a very old furnace and badly-installed and damaged duct work. A thermostat, drain pan and attic light were also installed.

I am very pleased with the level of service I have received over the years, and plan to continue with the regular maintenance contract.
Description of Work: I keep the maintenance agreement for service on my heating and air conditioning systems. I find it a very cost effective way to ensure that my systems are regularly serviced and kept in good working order. The company always calls to remind me and to set up a convenient appointment date and time for the seasonal service. I have never experienced a problem with lateness or "no shows". The technicians have always been knowledgable and thorough, and professional in manner and appearance. I never have the feeling that just because I have the "contract" I only receive a quick, cursory check-up. They always perform a thorough preventative maintenance. After 10 years, I have had no operating issues, and I feel that is largely due to the quality of service I receive from Drabek and Hill.

When we built our home they did all the heating and air so based on the quality of workmanship they did then, that had a lot of bearing on me choosing them to do this second job. They were a long shot away from being the cheapest. There were some issues that I had as far as professionalism. I'm in my 50's now and I just don't know anybody that is professional any more. It wasn't perfect.

They were higher than the people we ended up going with. They have a good reputation. They do a lot of advertising and a lot of television commercials. They claim that they are one among the largest family business in the area. I don?t have any complaints about them. The gentleman that came out was very thorough and knowledgeable. He wasn?t an installer in the store but he was just a person who did the estimates. He was very good at what he did. Our old heating and air system wasn?t reliable and we had to even change the Freon. They possibly had to reroute duct work that went with our previous humidifier system. They say that they are not the lowest but they bank on their reputation, their thoroughness, quality of their installers which I appreciated. However, I found a much better deal with the same level of competence from another company. They were very timely. I didn?t have any complaints about their professionalism. I learnt a lot about the terminology of some of the units and I can now talk more confidently. I appreciated that part since the estimator was very patient with me. I didn?t have any problems with his punctuality and he was there when he said he would be there. I probably might not consider using their services again just because of the price issue and knowing that they have a quite a bit more overhead with the advertising that they do. If I wanted to compare them with somebody, then that?s the good place to start. As far as having Drabek & Hill Air Conditioning & Heating do any work, it would probably have to be something on an emergency basis.

I had them come out when I had some problems with my furnace. They said they could not repair is and it was a hazard because of the possibility of a carbon monoxide leak. They shut the furnace down. So they basically put me in a position of either replacing the furnace or just be cold. To be frank, they kind of had me over barreled. They were very anxious to do the work.

Response from Drabek & Hill Air Conditioning & Heating Inc.
We regret to hear that this customer had a negative experience with Drabek & Hill. On January 15, 2009, we arrived at the customer’s house to perform a service call on a problematic furnace. Our technician inspected the furnace for any problems. During the inspection, the technician noticed a crack in the heat exchanger. When a heat exchanger is cracked, it allows carbon monoxide to escape into the air. This not only creates a dangerous fire hazard, but, if inhaled, can cause lightheadedness, headaches, and even death. To prevent these negative consequences, the technician turned off the furnace and recommended replacement. While our tech did feel strongly that the furnace required replacement, this was only to protect the health of the customer. We apologize that this created any overwhelming feelings, but customers must learn the severity of the situation so they are not harmed by this odorless, tasteless, and colorless gas. While it is unfortunate that this happened in cold weather, customers are always welcome to take time and even consult second opinions before work is done. We strive to make sure customers feel comfortable with our work.

Excellent service. The technician called prior to arrival to ensure we were home and fully met our expectations! D&H may be a little higher than others in the area, but they are worth it!
Description of Work: Master bedroom/bath zone heating unit failed to work properly. Drabek & Hill technician diagnosed problem, cleaned a high temp sensor, and fixed with no additional parts required. As an extra bonus, the technician checked out other main heating unit to ensure it was working properly.
