Beware of the service hourly price this company charges customers. I called for A/C service at my son's recently purchased house as the units looked almost new and they had installed. I was told it was a blower motor and the parts were under warranty, but we would have to pay labor and the cost would be $714. It seemed high, but I didn't know how big a job it was and agreed. To my surprise the technician spent less than 1 hour on the job. I called their office to question the high charge for an hours worth of labor. Sarah told me she would look into it and call me back, never did. I called for her two other times and she never returned my calls until I sent an email looking to speak to one of the owners. She refused to let me speak to them and said I can talk to her. She states their other costs that go into the labor charge like the office expenses etc. This is ridiculous, no one charges this much for labor. I had also spent $89 for the first visit and she said that should have been deducted from the invoice since we moved forward with the work. Had I not kept pushing the bill, they would have overcharged me the $89 first visit fee as well. Very shady operation in my opinion.
Description of Work: Replaced blower motor , parts under warranty and 1 hour labor.

BUYER BEWARE! Blanton & Sons replaced my HVAC with a Rheem unit. It DID NOT qualify for the $500 Dominion Energy rebate, or the $2,000 Federal energy credit. AND THEY FAILED TO INFORM ME! You cannot trust them.

Nathan did a great job, was on time and professional, quickly assessed/solved issue with heating as well as ductwork. Followed up quickly with invoice showing findings and payment made. Kayla was great, too...she was my first point of contact and got us on their schedule very quickly. It was great working with these folks...they are professional, friendly and just do a fantastic job. As a REALTOR, I've worked with many contractors and that is not always the case. Looking forward to working with them again!

The tech was able to give me an estimate for the part and contacted the A/C manufacturer on my behalf to check and see if the part was still under warranty and was able to fix the problem much faster than I had anticipated, I would definitely use this company again.

Very well. I noticed cupping in my wood floors and knew I probably had some humidity in the crawlspace. Blantons' came out and took some moisture readings that showed 25% moisture levels in the subfloors -- way too high. The sent me a bid for a full encapsulation that was reasonable but still more than I was prepared to spend at the time. Jimmy and I talked about a more graduated approach, where we'd start with a moisture barrier and see if that helped. If a full encapsulation was needed, the cost of the moisture barrier would apply. We had another reading taken last week, and I am relieved to see that it is now down to 15%. I've hired these guys to do a few jobs, and I can say that their customer service is terrific. They will do what it takes to do the job right, and they'll make sure you don't spend more than necessary.

They sent the most experience person, Brian to smooth things over so I would like to retract the negative review that I wrote couple weeks ago. However I do have concerns about their AC supplier as the 'brand new' Goodman unit that was installed 2 years ago also had a defective part which had to be replaced. Being a loyal customer spending $20,000+ ( 3ACs, spray foam insulation to attic and plumbing)over the last 3 years with this company, this last issue was more than this old lady needed to experience! Thankful they came through with repair to this brand new Trane unit and fixed the other unit with discount. The plumbing work they have done for me has always been excellent. They are a family owned operation which is a plus, but may opt for geothermal if any more trouble!
Description of Work: They installed a brand new ( I think) Trane AC unit mid August. It broke the first week. Said it was a faulty part. Then it broke again. The pan cracked after 1st problem. Had much difficulty arranging time for repair. After much aggravation and stress, mid October, they were able to fix the new unit and gave me a hefty discount on work/part on another AC unit which had a rusted part and leaking freon.

Blanton Mechanical put 2 different types of Carrier units. I thought I was getting an Infinity System as per the PDF Jimmy Blanton sent me but he installed a Performance unit inside. Several thousand dollars later I finally found a company that has made the units work together. The Honeywell Thermost has never really worked so my electric bill was over 1 thousand dollars after Blanton Mechanical fished with me. Up from 550 before buying their engergy efficiency unit

Response from Blanton & Sons
Repeated response from May 2014 below: Good afternoon Mrs. & Mr. ----------- I am sorry that you are very unsatisfied with the Carrier Performance system but we were very through and detailed in our typed out quote with the description of the Carrier Performance system, zone system and ducting that we proposed for your beach house along with multiple conversations trying to address all your concerns with less air over your flowers, more air in your bathroom as well as your workout room. During all our conversations before your 16 Seer two stage Carrier Performance system was installed, there was never any mention of your desire to have an Upgraded Infinity system with communication controls installed but I would have gladly installed this for you if I would have known or this was mentioned to me beforehand. I am not sure how your electric bill went down $650 dollars a month raising the air handler up in the attic a few inches but I am happy you are now saving money over the last system you had. If you ever have any mechanical issues in the future, you can always count on us to be there. Thank you, Jimmy B.

Excellent professionalism as well as prompt scheduling. I was afraid that since it was Labor Day weekend, I wasn't going to be able to have my AC unit evaluated or I would be charged for holiday labor. Blanton's Mechanical & Son's were prompt at scheduling the diagnostic as well as keeping me updated on the technician's availability throughout the day. I will DEFINITELY use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone needing prompt and professional service that is affordable and friendly.
Description of Work: Thorough inspection of the outdoor unit, attic unit/ductwork/insulation, and evaluation of air filter system as well as measurement of air temperature from multiple vents and charging AC unit. He also provided me with a quote for blown-in attic insulation and recommended a service cleaning to be scheduled at a later date.

Today "I called" to see what was going on and spoke with Ally about getting a service appointment and about my warranty. I was hung up on and I called back and Ally told me that they were having phone line problems. Ally told me they had no body to come see me this week and informed me that my warranty was no longer available. I was hung up on again. I called back and Jimmy Blanton answered and told me "I" must be having phone problems, he went on to saw my warranty was no longer available and he wanted to know what the problem was. I was trying to do that "AGAIN" and I was then again hung up on. I called back and talked with Ally and at this point I was annoyed because of the run around I was getting and the dropped calls. Ally gave the phone to Jimmy whom told me the I needed to contact someone else for service because they would no longer be doing business with me. All I was doing was trying to get a serve call. I am upset that I was treated like I was arguing with them. I just want ductwork fixed and was always happy with Blanton's before today.
Description of Work: I spoke with Lorraine Blanton on 1/6/2016 about getting a service call to my home to look at a loose duct in my house crawl space and to look at my bedroom duct. She was trying to get me set up with a service call and said she would call me back later that afternoon. I never got a return call.

Response from Blanton & Sons
Good morning Mr. ________. I do want to apologize about the phone system going in and out, I first thought it was on your end but found out that it was on our end due to construction in our area. The phone company cleared up the problem a few hours later. I understand you have damage to the duct system we installed 9 years earlier and we explained we were not able to schedule this for repair this week due to our workload with the cold snap. Being that you insisted that this be taken care of this week we then told you that we could not help you with this based on your immediate needs. I understand that you are frustrated but we apologize for not being able to help you in the time frame that you required. Jimmy Blanton

Mr Jimmy is an amazing person! Punctual, responsive, professional, super patient and helpful. You get the immediate sense that he is trustworthy...and he does everything to maintain that trust. He provided me with all the information I requested so I could make an informed decision when choosing the unit and didn't bat an eyeball when I changed my mind from central to split duct back to central. His crew, including his two sons, were punctual, professional and considerate of me and my home. There was no cussing, no smoking, no loud music on the premises. They were intent on their work. A few snafus did occur, but these were minor and resolved above-and-beyond to my satisfaction. The inspector who came out reiterated what I already knew: Blanton's does quality work...we passed with flying colors! I'd also like to commend Mrs Lorraine on her senses of humor, grace and understanding. And Ms Allie is super adept at notifications/communicating, handling paperwork and wrangling inspectors. Pile this on the well-justified and deserved heap of stellar reviews. We can't wait to use the plumbing side of Blanton's talents for our next big project: installing a half bath.
Description of Work: Installed an HVAC system in a home where once there was none.
