There are very few people I would ever trust with my 88 Year old mothers wellbeing. Eric from Towlson Plumbing, Heating and Cooling is on that list. His service and attention to detail was extremely professional and honestly something I never expected, but really appreciate.
I live 3,000 miles away from my Mom, but when I come home I try and get everything set for her so she's safe and won't have to worry about repairs. With my stepdad's passing 2 years ago, I have been more involved in choosing service folks.
I called Towlson and explained to Eric that I was only in town a short time. He managed to schedule an AC/Heat service for the next afternoon! Eric and Mark were on time, knowledgable and extremely nice! The old Heat and AC service that my parents had used before has, for the past few years, kept trying to sell them a new furnace. But Towlson, after a thorough inspection of Mom's furnace, said it was a very good unit, in good shape and didn't need replacing. He said that if something were to break, he could get the parts. Much cheaper than a whole new furnace! I am SO HAPPY I found Towlson! Eric then noticed that the exhaust for the water heater wasn't hooked up. It was sitting on the floor, further away than if it had fallen off. I concluded that the only person in the basement, in the last 2 years, was the last service person! (Company has 3 letters in its name and 2 one star reviews...Mom doesn't' want me to say the company because she's a wonderful person). So for the past 2 years, my mom has been getting slowly gassed with carbon monoxide! Eric immediately fixed this and taped the exhaust pipes so they couldn't be easily removed again. Was it enough gas to harm my mom? I don't know, but I can't believe the old company took more time trying to up-sell a new heater instead of doing a good, safe job! Totally unacceptable!
After the basement, Eric and Mark went outside and cleaned the AC. Everything is working great and I'm confident Mom is going to stay cool in the heat and warm in the cold!
This is where I thought my review would end, but I recalled Eric had mentioned how he could add a humidifier to the heater for a very reasonable Price! I discussed it with Mom and she said that being too dry has been her biggest winter complaint. Eric, knowing I would only be here a short time, squeezed me in the following week. He and Mark were early and got right to work. You know someone loves their job when they whistle while doing it. You could hear Eric though the ducts, and he can carry a nice tune! When finished, Eric fully explained how the unit works. Mom is actually looking forward to winter to try it out!
If you are looking for and Heating, AC, Plumbing company that is professional, experienced and are nice people, Towlson Plumbing, Heating and Cooling is your best choice! I only wish they were closer to my home in California!
