Description of Work: Newbern services the heating/air conditioning systems for our home and our two rental houses. They are extremely cooperative (did extensive research to locate parts for an on-demand hot water heater that had been discontinued by the manufacturer to save me having to replace it), on time even on short notice, very reasonably priced, and totally professional. The service in June 2015 was to unclog and clear a distillate drain line from an air conditioning unit in the attic of one of our rentals, get all the water out of the overflow pan, service the unit, and replace a thermostat that was malfunctioning.

As always, they were very responsive, punctual and professional. They are what all service providers should strive to be. We have used this provider for several years and have never been disappointed.
Description of Work: Checked ac unit for wine closet that was running too much. Found that the unit was low on Freon. They did not find a leak (and so this was not terribly expensive).

Newbern Mech installed two new Trane HVAC systems in my home Oct 13. I have had them return to adjustments three times since install. Total cost for both systems was about $22,000. I got a total of four quotes and I selected Newbern based on detail of proposal, professional presentation, and recommendation from a friend who had used Newbern for their home install. Newbern Mech is an absolutely outstanding company...from A to Z. Their staff is professional and polite...and skilled/knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: Follow-up service on HVAC install.

The owner of the company (JR) was extremely helpful in getting our situation resolved. He recommended the right plumbing service for the job, we contacted the plumbing company and the work was done exceptionally well (both groups were rather surprised at how the builder had routed the piping from the W/H). We have started a biannual service with New Bern Mechanical. Small company, good service. By the by, a few years ago New Bern helped us recover from a very bad experience we had with another HVAC company. They really provided good advice, pointed us to the right folks (we had a mildew issue), and led the way in getting our system squared away. You tend to remember something like that.
Description of Work: Came over to (1) provide some guidance on some plumbing work required associated with a tankless hot water heater installed by with errors (hot water pipes very poorly routed when installed) and (2) take a look at our system because we plan to use him for annual service in the future.

JR's an excellent small business. Very attentive and provides better estimates than the larger companies. He has "Andy," who's superb at ducting work in an older house. Also, his piping crew remedied unique older house issues without any commotion. Good guys working on this team. If you want Rinnai gas boiler or water heater, he has the pictures. In addition to replacing an old oil boiler that was falling apart, and removing a water heater that was starting to corrode substantially, the installation opened up considerable space in a small garage. JR has the photos. I had several other estimates, with none being as close, especially when considering product quality and requested gas piping work.
Description of Work: Converted heating oil to gas Rinnai boiler and Rinnaie water heater. Also provided gas connection to stove and outside gas grill. Provided a better duct covering to a ducting system. Added new heat vent outlet in flooring in dinette area (previously cold.)

I have used Newbern several times in the past. They came out promptly and worked in extreme heat in our attic to get our system up and cooling. I would say that J. R. is one of the best technicians in the area. If you have a concern, the office staff is helpful and friendly.
Description of Work: Installed new Trane air conditioner with matching cooling coil in attic using our existing gas furnace. Required duct and pan switch. Trane 2.5 ton XR13 for our upper level.

They are very efficient and neat. They always clean up after themselves. In the 20 years I have only needed one or two repairs and they fixed them right away. The office staff is very nice and the price they charge is reasonable. The technicians who come out are always very polite and do a good job. I plan on using them again in the future.
Description of Work: Newbern Mechanical installed my A/C unit about 20 years ago. They come out once a year to service the unit and make sure that everything is working well before the summer.

I've been using them for about 25 or 30 years. They do excellent work. They've been wonderful. The owner, Kathy Newbern is excellent and I've never had any issues. My son has used them and my parents have used them. They are on time. They are good and reliable. I would continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: I had Newbern Mechanical Company Inc service my unit which they had put in. They come out every year and service it for me. They were here about a year ago.

Overall, the experience was good. As with any situations where you're installing a new system into an old (1939) home, there will be unavoidable imperfections/compromises. Still, JR's team was willing to work with me on register and return placement. As far as I can tell, there are no air leaks in the system, and each register boot was sealed with silicone (which I thought was nice). Also, each supply run has a damper, so airflow adjustments can be easily made. My family has been very pleased with JR's work in the past, and I'm glad to say that I'm very pleased with JRs work on my home as well.
Description of Work: Installed a new indoor unit in the crawlspace (Trane 4TEE) complete with a drain switch. All supply and return plenums and all necessary supply and return ducting was installed under the home. The return grill was installed into the wall off of a closet. A Trane outdoor unit (XR15) was installed with a plastic pad, and a thermostat was installed near the return grill. The home is ~1000 sqft. on the first floor of a multi-family building and the crawlspace is ~3 ft tall. JR used the appropriate load calculations to determine the required size of the A/C system and the required airflow to each room.

They have been cooperative overall. The company changed their schedule because I had surgery and couldn't make the original appointment. The gentlemen took off his shoe's so he wouldn't track anything in the house.
