Best Gas Furnace Repair in Newark NJ
My first ever 1 star review anywhere. They jip you off on component cost, I was told $40 per valve and found out it was $20 on google search. They installed 10 so was jipped off $200.
Here' the full story. I called these guys to fix some of my rooms not getting much heat from my steam boiler. Manny said the reason would be my water valve is not closing in tight enough so it needs replacement and also the valves in my radiators are old so recommended that they be switched. I was verbally quoted maybe $12 per valve and asked if I wanted them done in all the rooms, I said sure. He said he'd come back in few days because he didnt have the valves. He estimated maybe $400~$500(1 water pipe valve+10radiator valves).
The morning comes back he said $700 because the valves were almost $40 each. I calculated ok $28*10 is extra $280 so $700 seemed good for the price range he initially gave.
Months later, I happened to open up my radiator to adjust something and just out of curiosity, google the price of the exact component and to my surprise, so many sellers on internet at $20 a piece. Was furious but it was already months past and I didnt want to bother speaking with them without a detailed bill.
Aside from being jipped off on materials, I called the guy to resolve some rooms not being heated enough, and he said fixing the valves was going to resolve it. Well, guess what. The room was better but certainly not fixed. I didnt want to get jipped off again so just called another company.
Upto you to use these guys but definitely do your due diligence by asking to quote two things, the exact component+the cost and what labor will be. Im sure many contractors will try to squeeze the most out of your job but these guys are certainly one of those.

I called Eco Air Flow because they had such good ratings. I was looking from CA for a A/C person for my mom who lives in New Jersey. Adam answered and he immediately tried to help and fit us in right away. I was very happy about how quick he was able to schedule us. As his 5 star rating shows, he does not disappoint. He was able to help my mom at her home in Paterson. He was timely, efficient, and so courteous and got the job done. He will definitely will go in our list of preferred professionals. Thank you very much Adam.

I've been searching for a plumber for at least a month to help tie up some loose ends that a previous contractor wasn't able to complete. The plumber who was originally supposed to do the job tried to reschedule last minute and left me in the lurch as I'd already rearranged my schedule to have my plumbing done a specific day. Fortunately I found Frank who gave me a reasonable estimate within a day and who was able to accommodate my schedule and requirements.
Frank showed up on time, fully prepared, and got straight to work. While I'm quite sure some difficulties with the job popped up, he quietly handled them to make sure that ultimately, the job got done and done well. He cleaned up, did a neat plumbing job and left my apartment in fully working order.
Frank is honest, responsive, flexible, and accommodating. After reviewing at least 3-4 plumbers and having the last one bail on me, Frank came in at the ready. It's time consuming and difficult finding a fairly priced, direct, and honest contractor in general, so I'm very grateful that I was able to find Frank. If you need something done, go with Maximo Plumbing!

I cannot say enough good things about Brett. I made a last minute appointment with Brett after my utility sink filled with water and I couldn't get in touch with my usual plumber. Turns out my main sewer line was clogged (and is likely broken) due to tree roots. He worked for 3 hours (working until 9:30 pm!) without giving up until I was able to run the water throughout the house with no problems. He even helped me clean up the mess from the sewage that got into my basement during the unclogging process. He was great at explaining everything and charged a very fair rate. I will definitely be hiring him to replace the broken sewer line this summer!

So I have met a few HVAC pro's over the past 3 yrs. I've hired the same guy more then once to do maintenance and a refrigerant recharge. I once kicked someone out of my house for trying a bs scam. Recently I needed someone for an estimate to fix my current problems and offer an estimate for a project requiring a 2nd system. I sent out a bunch of requests and Andrei from Comfort Duty replied rather quickly. Comfort Duty????? I honestly had low expectations. 1 review. He was running late. However, Andrei text me his new eta after calling me. It ended up working out better then expected. I had enough time to mow the lawn, thaw my coils, take apart the condensor and clean off those coils. They were caked with pollen, dirt and canadian soot.
Andrei showed up for an estimate and ended up repairing my current problems!!! He is thorough, open to all options including my own possible ideas. Andrei explains what each equipment does and has the tools to get the job done right. My HVAC has never worked well until now. I highly recommend!!

My tenant's central air wasn't cooling properly. Searched for companies that would provide free estimates. Airheem quickly responded and after asking a few questions, gave me a reasonable estimate. He came out the same day! He was very knowledgeable and thorough. He also took the time to explain everything. He got the HVAC back up and running quickly. Also provided great customer service, very professional and polite.

Great customer service and competitive pricing. Everything went smooth and Michael is honest and a very nice guy. Highly recommend!

Exceptional service coupled with professionalism! Michael came to fix a broken kitchen sink faucet in my home. From the moment he entered our house, to the time he completed the work, the area was meticulously cleaned and the new faucet was shining bright! We were so happy with the work he did and we definitely know who to call next time we have a problem with our plumbing!

Wow. I don't really know how to explain how positive our experience with Fabio from Infinite Comfort was today. We are very, very happy with the service and price we received and we recommend Infinite Comfort to anyone who need HVAC work done.
Our Carrier central A/C unit is almost 20 years old (we're its third owner). We have lived here for 7 1/2 years and haven't serviced the unit at all (a mistake we will not continue!) The unit started making terrible noises in the evening five days ago, and then just stopped working later that night. It was a hot stretch, so I quickly did online research, made a few calls and had a service guy from a well-regarded company over to help us the next day. He spent a lot of time back and forth in and out of the house, explained a lot about the components of a central A/C system and how they work, and then told me our options. He said the unit was old (1999) and beyond the normal lifespan of such things. He said for sure our fan motor was bad, there might be a compressor issues he couldn't figure out right then, some bad electricals and possibly a clogged TXV down near the evaporation coils. He said we could use trial and error to replace parts in sequence over time to see which repair might fix the problem, but it would be expensive (as parts for old machine can be), time consuming and still not identify what if any repair might be the one or how long that repair would hold up on an old unit like this. The Internet told us that on average A/C unit last 10-15 years, so we decided to get estimates on replacement.
While waiting for our repair guy's company to send its replacement estimate I made appointments with a few others to come quote us prices. Fabio from Infinite Comfort was the first to arrive. He inspected our system, answered some questions about ducts, vents and airflow, and explained some add-on options we might want with the replacement (e.g., a better air filter unit, new humidifier, etc.). He then asked if we wanted him to check out our current unit just to see if he could figure out why it wasn't working.
He spent about 5-10 minutes pulling the unit apart and reconnecting all the parts the service guy had left disconnected. He tested a few things and told us the unit itself was older, but was a Cadillac. He said it needed a cleaning, but that he thought the only thing wrong with it was a bad fan motor, which he had on his truck. He a said no guarantees, but he was pretty sure that would fix it. About $600 rather than thousands. We said do it! About 5 minutes into that work, and Fabio came back in to tell us it wasn't the motor but rather than fan blade that was broken and that's why it wasn't turning or cooling the compressor properly. He called a local supply house, but it was after noon on a Saturday so they were closed. So Fabio studied the fan blade again for a minute, took it out to his truck, and FIXED the stupid thing!!! He said this old unit was high end when it was purchased, and was still durable for years if it was re-charged a bit and then maintained. So overall Fabio repaired our unit fan, he cleaned the filters and the unit itself, put about 3 1/2 lbs of freon in it (the older R-22, which he had on his truck) and added a leak sealant to the system because it took more Freon than he was expecting and we back online!!
Now we have a functioning A/C that has been cleaned and re-charged for the first time in who-knows-how long for about $700, instead of spending what was looking like $4,000 - $7,000 for a new unit sometime (hopefully) in the next month!!
You pray that you can find contractors and technicians that know what they're doing and treat you fairly. Sometimes you find them. Sometimes you don't. Fabio and Infinite Comfort are exactly that. If this unit ever does give out on us, they will have the replacement business from us without hesitation. If for some reason our unit completely fails in the next year, Infinite Comfort will give us 50% of today's bill as a credit towards any replacement we do through them.

called the company and in the outset it says free inspection but after talking to the receptionist I will be charged $60 for the visit. Not an honest way to approach any new customers like that!!! waste of time.

Super Plumbing has been our reliable source for plumbing repairs I would believe for nearly 4 years.
Whenever there is a reason with a need for plumbing assistance we call Super. The entire Super team is great. The team member who answers the phone is courteous, professional and asks when we would like to make an appointment which leaves one with a secure feeling that plumbing assistance is available 24 hours per day. The technicians couldn't be better. Professional and cordial arriving in an identifying name shirt and right on time. They give a reasonable quote and they work quickly while being completely reliable with their work. At times, while working, they may find something additional and they discuss the possible extra work carefully and with a reasonable price. I know that some people think this may mean they are deliberately trying to make more money which simply isn't true by our experience. Our most recent repairs were completed by their great technicians Willy, Cesar and another technician who was great and I cannot recall his name at present. We always call Super without any regrets at all.

I originally had Madison oil , Approved took over several years ago. I haven't had any problems with their service. Every time I called they responded timely. I own a 2 family in Bensonhurst for 31 years. On auto delivery and they have never let me run dry like my 1st Co. did twice in middle of winter and gunk on bottom of tank clogged my lines. The only question I have is that for the 1st time I locked in a price and was wondering what happens if oil drops below ( thats why I never have done it before ) otherwise I have never had a problem, their staff has always been prompt and curtious.

Very unprofessional service. I paid $225 for an electricity check and report at our Manhattan apartment to assess the capacity for a ductless A/C installation. The electrician's report was never provided despite multiple requests over a period of weeks.
