The repair was very satisfactory. Our 2 year old dishwasher had an error code which required installation of a rather expensive part. ARS performed the repair accurately and quickly and also corrected a problem we were unaware of when the dishwasher had been improperly installed.
Description of Work: Repaired dishwasher and corrected installation defect from previous installation.

It was obvious we'd sprung some kind of leak in the water supply line when a big (rapidly growing!) puddle appeared in the lawn near the city shutoff valve. It was a Sunday, and I dreaded the weekend surcharges I thought were inevitable. ARS was the only company out of five who could come within an hour. A master plumber arrived right on time, chuckled good-naturedly at the holes we'd dug in the lawn trying to self-diagnose, and had the leak fully exposed within 15 minutes. Because we have temperamental weather with several freezes and thaws, he explained, PVC joints between pipes frequently crack and leak if not properly installed. He replaced the joint, wrapping it inside and out to help us avoid future problems. The whole job took less than an hour. There was no surcharge for a Sunday visit. I was super-thankful just to have the problem fixed, but the plumber was also charming and patiently answered all my nervous first-time-homeowner questions! I'd call this company back again anytime.
Description of Work: Repaired a joint between city water supply and house.

They arrived on time and were very polite and tried to stay neat but did not do what was promised. They got something on our carpets but was able to clean it immediately to our satisfaction. They did not seal attic cover and add fixed insulation to the cover. They did come back the next day and addressed that but that guy was careless and just tossed our attic covers on ground and got them flithy.They had to be cleaned and repainted which he did. Luckily we had paint on hand. Since they did the service I have not seen the changes in electric any where near what they said was likely. 09/12/13 Quite a bit of time has past to make a full assessment and it is not good. I would never ever suggest anyone ever use this company. Their claims and product do not perform as promised. When you see these people run the other way.
Description of Work: They added several inches of blown insulation and a solar attic fan.

I want my money back on paid service plan. ARS does not care to keep customer at all, much less keep them happy.
Description of Work: ARS talks a good line in advertisements about becoming a "preferred" customer to get you to sign up for their "service" plan which gives you twice yearly checkups on your a/c-heating systems and 10% off other services. Unfortunately they do not deliver. In June 2012 they were not on time, forgot filters and had to leave and come back. I was given $50 credit towards future service and they were SO apologetic...6 months later, my appointment today was EXACTLY the same! So much for being a preferred customer! Outside 8-12 window timeframe, forgot filters and had to go to office to get them. Calls to customer service and dispatch were ineffectual. Technician claims he is only given next address when he's done the last one... I was promised LAST time this debaucle would not happen again. What a joke! There are plenty of other service companies besides this one!

They were very prompt, arriving at their appointment time. They immediately looked over the situation and started their work. The attic was over 120 degrees and they worked on removal and installation until it was finished. They were very careful and cleaned up when they were finished.The selling agent came to see that everything was going well. There was some misunderstanding about the return of a plumber to check the gas unit and an electrician to finish the installation the next week. But it was taken care of and all the work was finished.
Description of Work: After it was determined that the 15 year old unit would require expensive repair, we had someone from ARS give us an estimate for the removal of the old unit and installation of a new unit. The agent was very knowledgeable about the different brands and units. We selected an Amana because of the guarantee. They removed and installed a new heating/ac unit. The heating unit was in the attic.

Arrival was On timeActivities were On pointProfessional - did the job right the first timeGreat paper work and verbal communications about what they were doingCleaned upDeparture was On time
Description of Work: They were selected to add insulation to my 30 year old home. I found them through Home Depot. Their process includes FREE inspection of many components that affect retaining desirable home temperatures. All results were documented and given to me. The guys were awesome people. Their equipment (including vechiles) is well maintained and works like a charm. Everything was left clean and in order....inside and outside. These folks are at the top of their game and it shows. Only Negative: The Home Depot "Project Loan" is pretty recent and I had to go thru several hoops and rounds to get the account info EAS needed. This is clearly an area Home Depot needs to clear up with the vendors it works with.

They have done a great job. They are thorough professionals. It's a good value.
Description of Work: Two years ago they put in a brand new A/C system. This year they came out twice under a service contract to check out the A/C and heating units. They also recommend any maintenance necessary. They also complete any adjustments from time to time so we get the best efficiency out of the units.

Description of Work: They installed our new AC unit. We use them for maintenance on our AC unit and they have also done plumbing work. They recently did a whole house check. They cleaned out my water heater and drained everything, which was included in our maintenance plan, which was helpful.

Their service is very good. We've had very good experiences with all the people that have come out. They are super nice and I would definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We originally used ARS in the past to fix our wash machine. I had another company come out originally and they looked at the problem and said it would be $6-800 to put all of this stuff in. I researched the issue on the internet and I told the guy what it was and he said no. He wasn't looking at the original problem so I then contacted ARS. They came out and the technician spent about 45 minutes getting the problem fixed and it only cost about $145. They have also repaired the AC in our rental home. I even had them do some gas line work when I was remodeling my old house. They recently came out to repair my washing machine again; he looked at it and was very honest with me and said that it would cost more to repair it then it would to buy a new one. So, I went out and bought a new washing machine.

They did a very good job. I was very pleased with the work they did. I think that it was very smart that they sat down and let me know what different options were available in terms of different units they could install. They also let me know how long it would take and how much it would cost. At this time the heat was in triple digits so I needed someone immediately. What stood out most about them was that they could install it the very same day. They even stayed here late into the night to get it installed. I would only use them in the future.
Description of Work: They came out the same day I spoke with them in regards to my A/C. They immediately came and assessed the problem and they actually installed the Air Conditioning the same day.

Adrian from ARS Rescue Rooter showed up earlier than we had expected, but was welcomed due to the headache that this pipe backup had been causing us. Adrian investigated the backup and checked to make sure that a power flush of the system was covered by our home warranty. Fortunately it was, so he proceeded with it. He continued to inspect and found that there were still some areas that needed attention. By the time he was done we had a wonderfully working drainage system. In addition, he notified us of about 80 ft. of cast iron pipe that probably should be replaced (we live in a home built in 1950). He also sold us on a cleaning solution that we should use once per month to keep the build up from occurring until we replace the pipes. We are very grateful for his diligence and advice.
Description of Work: They were dispatched as a result of us calling the home warranty due to a pipe backup. I mention this because it has a huge bearing on the price of the services performed. They performed a power flush of the pipes that had been backing up.

I first had them out to do an A/C performance check. They said I needed a new dual capacitor and recommended a ceiling saver switch. They charged the going the ate for these items. While there I asked them to move my thermostat.He said, "no problem". But he did not have the tools he needed and decided that he could use an assistant. He promised he would be back first thing the next morning but never showed up nor did he call. Then on the third day he brought an assistant and it took about an hour for them to install the new thermostat. I ended up paying $330.00 for that!!
Description of Work: Took three days to complete a few hours of work. They didn't have the right tools for the job. Were late on one day and the other day they did not show up at all and did not call to let me know they weren't coming. I feel I paid way too much for what they did plus all the aggravation. I will never use them again.

The upstairs AC unit wasn't cooling and was making a horrible sound. I called ARS today around lunchtime, and ARS had a technician working on the problem today, which impressed me considering we are coming off of a three-day-weekend. The technician (William) arrived on time, was courteous and professional, and best of all fixed the problem. He also identified an installation problem in which the energy savings feature of the unit had never been hooked up. He fixed that, too. Very happy and satisfied with the service provided.
Description of Work: The technician came out to look at my central AC unit that cools the upstairs portion of my home.

Everything has gone very well. They have done a good job. When they came to fix the thermostat, it had stopped working again and I thought it was great that they didn't charge a service call fee.
Description of Work: We've used them in the past for a few things. The came out one time to check the thermostat because it stopped working and they are scheduled to come out to do a preventative maintenance check on the A/C soon.
