Rather than being first on the list, I was later in the day. They had 3 numbers for me to let me know they were arriving. They claimed to have called, but I received no messages on any of numbers. I am disappointed with the service, and plan to find another service.
Description of Work: I called ARS for service to clear a plugged line that has sewage backing up. When they finally said they were coming, it was 10:30 pm. I asked them to return the next day.

They're a little on the pricey side. Very quick response and they maintain records based upon my telephone number, which is very helpful. Excellent workmanship.
Description of Work: I had some trouble with water flow in my home. They came and repiped the water flow from the meter.

ARS was working under our home warranty, which I will never fall for again! We had used Angies List to find many companies to fix or replace our duct work. The AC was venting into the attic. All of the people who looked at our ducts said the furnace looked bad. Being in the house 3 months and having had it inspected, we called our home warranty to see about this duct work and furnace issue. The guy from ARS returned the call promptly, came on time, and wasnt rude. He took the furnace apart, said it was not the right unit for the connected AC unit, had never been maintained, and was unsafe to use. Of course, he told this to the home warranty people who denied any claims for warranty coverage. He gave us a quote for one new furnace that was more than the other operators who had already given us quotes for the whole system, including AC units. He then spent some time in the attic taping ducts, which were then fixed appropriately later by Service by the Masters.
Description of Work: They did examination of furnace and duct work and supposed repair of duct work.

I called initially before noon and was told they would come out at 2 PM and would call when they were on the way. I called again at 2:30 and was told I had misunderstood them. They meant they would arrive after 2 PM. They assured me they would come before the day ended. I called again at 5 PM, and they told me I was next in line and that they would definitely show up. When I called at 7, the office was closed. The person who answered said she would page the technician and would call back in 10 minutes. She never called. If they had shown the courtesy of telling me they werent coming, I could have called someone else. ARS apparently lines up as much business as they can regardless of whether they have the capability to do it. I was left hanging with no water, no toilet, no shower, etc.
Description of Work: They didnt show up. My hot water heater discharge line had a serious leak, and I had to shut off all the water supply to the house while I waited for them to show up.

Both service technicians were courteous and seemed to be very competent about what they were doing. There was no delay in making an appointment and they came with in the time window they set. I do not fault them for the defective part. The technician was apologetic and the problem was rectified in three days. I was in no hurry so this was not a problem for me.
Description of Work: Originally I had a water leak from one of the hoses that came from my dishwasher. After not using the dishwasher for an extended period of time the leak was no longer the issue because the dish washer no longer worked at all. (Little did I know that a dishwashers motor can go out because of lack of use.) ARS determined over the phone that this was an appliance repair and not a plumbing repair. ARS promptly sent out a courteous repair man although I was in no hurry. Since the motor had to be replaced it had to be ordered. Within four days another courteous repair man brought out the new motor. The new motor turned out to be defective so a new one was ordered and three days later the new motor was put in place and working. Since the technician was there for appliance repair and not plumbing he was not able to fix my original leak. That is another story with another happy ending!

We called ARS to come out to our home for a replacement of the wheel and blower for our a/c. Instead all we got was a quote for replacing a new unit and a service fee. We would not have a problem paying a service fee if we were giving a service other than a quote on a new unit which their website offers for free. So why were we charged? We called another service company to replace the blower wheel which they did and it has increased the flow of air as well as quality of comfort in our home. We have used ARS previously, however it seems now (as told us by other service tech from the other Co.) if the servicemen cant sell you a large product they arent interested in doing any work because with the service fee they still profit and get paid commission from unit sales. What a shame.
Description of Work: Non-Repair of out-of-round air exchanger blower wheel.

The first time the plumber came, he arrived within the time frame the call center quoted me. He replaced a valve. I was entitled to a 10% discount from this company and the plumber asked me to help him calculate the discount. When he came the second time after I discovered the water around the floor, he tried to convince me that it was a new problem, not the problem he had seen the first time. He also suggested that we needed a new toilet. In the meantime, I had requested a call back from a supervisor in the plumbing department and that call was not returned. I called again and described the problem to a plumbing supervisor. He gave me a two hour window two days later to look at the problem. Two men arrived more than two hours after the end of the two hour window at which time I did not have time due to a prior commitment for them to properly look at the problem. Because the water had been turned off for a couple of days, they could not find where the water was leaking and left.
Description of Work: Repair on a toilet. I had water collecting along the floor by the base of the toilet. The plumber did not adequately diagnose the cause of the leak in my toilet. The first time he came he told me the problem was a leaky valve. He replaced the valve and left. But at the end of the day the water was back. The company sent the same repairman when I complained that the toilet was still leaking. After working for more than an hour, he told me that he did not have the proper gaskets to replace in the tank, and that the tank was cracked. I could not see any crack in the porcelain.

Dave gave complete explanation and itemized proposal for new system, even talked long-distance with my brother and answered all his questions. The quote was slightly higher than others, but it was in the ballpark. Next day like clockwork the team arrived. They went straight to their assignments, worked efficiently and cleanly. Very friendly, answering any of my questions. They had laid out plastic floor covering and removed furniture obstructions carefully. When work was completed (in 8 hours), they hauled away the mess and vacuumed! The place was cleaner than before they came. Phone communication before, during, and after was excellent.

The first repairman did not have the part for the oven display on his truck, but he called in and discovered that there was one available. He left, got the new one and returned. He had another repairman meet him, and these gentleman removed my two oven doors and took them apart so I could clean between the glass layers (a design flaw allows stuff to fall through a vent). I was charged just a small amount for this, and it was a big help to me. I am always so pleased with the service I receive from ARS. I recommend them to everyone.
Description of Work: I had two appliances with problems. The time and temperature display for my double oven was broken. Also, my refrigerator ice maker was not working. The oven display was quickly replaced, and the clogged ice maker tubing was cleared. Both appliances are working well.

Service man arrived on time and was professional. Performed check of condenser and determined the problem required complete replacement of outside condenser, offered to replace system, but at a much higher price than any other competitor ($2500-3000 instead of $1700-2200). Also check itself was expensive, but work was done on weekend and service was performed accurately without problems.

I am quite satisfied. However, it did take sometime to have the job completed. The furnace was not a good fit for where they had put it. They had to come back and fix it. They did keep coming back until they got it right. They did keep all appointments. They were always on time. They finally got it right. I never heard from them again after that. I thought the whole experience was rather comical. At least it s all done now.

ARS responded to our service call in a prompt manner. What we liked was the way the serviceman pointed out exactly what was wrong and what the costs would be. He was very polite and we trusted his judgment. The repair didnt take long at all and when he finished, he swept up the mess and got our approval. The outlet works great and the refrigerator runs properly now.

ARS did one of those spot jobs we needed. They looked at our electrical box and we knew we could count on ARS because we had used them in the past. They got right out like always and identified our problem. They estimated the cost to repair the box and got it taken care of when we agreed. They are always hard at work with fast results. The pricing isnt the cheapest, but for the work done it was fair.

ARS took our call quickly, followed up by an estimate for installing a new hot water heater. Their prices were a little high, but they were able to explain the warranties and they have good quality products. The installation was scheduled as soon as we agreed on a day, and the technician was right on time. He did a quick, professional job and cleaned up very well.

ARS employees worked quickly and had the job finished in less than an hour. I had them do some plumbing in my house and they did a great job. I have not had any problems with the work that they have done. I have used this company for the last ten years to do other projects around my house. The employees were polite, helpful and they cleaned up after themselves. It was nice to not have to worry about watching over them to get the job done.

The quality of the unit was great and their service was great. The main difficulty I had with these people was financing. The payment plan fell through. I financed it through other means. I was approved, but the paperwork got mixed up somehow. Im really happy with the unit and the service they provide on it. So far it has worked great and the thermostat too.
