Best HVAC System Maintenance in Saint Paul MN

Everything you could ask for in a great service company. John gave specific detailed feedback, weighed the costs and benefits of what actions to take, showed commitment to customer satisfaction and feasibility in price and functionality, and I got to learn plenty of baseline information about the specific problems that were occurring on my unit so I know why decisions are made.

Leaks were repaired by my technician Bryan.  No issues after the repair.  The cost was more than I expected, but glad it's been repaired.

Awesome company to deal with! Had them come out and hook my refrigerator, stove, plumbing lines, and fix my toilet. They did all this in a couple hours and did a unbelievable job. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

If you want to get a plumber, DONT call Hovde. I called four times, three times I talked to a nice woman and she said someone would call back...NOT. She said send photos via email and someone would get back to me...NOT. Why lead someone on? Why pretend you are going to do something and then you leave them high and dry? Guess they have enough business and don't want any more. FORGET THEM!

Highly recommend! Initially had Bonfe come out for an intermittent squeak in my furnace, they quoted me 2k for furnace repairs or 6k for new furnace. When Bonfe was trying to schedule the new furnace install for very next day despite me still getting perfectly hot air blowing through I began to question and got a 2nd opinion with McQuillan Bros. They had a contractor come out the very next business day and deemed a perfectly working furnace, they did this all FREE OF CHARGE. All that the furnace needed was a little WD40. I will definitely be going with McQuillan Bros for any future plumbing or heating needs. Thank you for saving me several thousands of dollars!

VERY OVER-PRICED!!!  The guy, Mark, was nice enough but I feel like I got ripped off. I called with concerns about a toilet that backs up and overflows near weekly. I also mentioned a slow draining shower and kitchen sink.  I had asked about cost estimates before coming out and was told no information could be given but would be a free estimate.  He had opinions, however, upon walking in the door before looking at anything. Said he didn't believe the issues would be related, he didn't recommend the use of drano, and he didn't recommend upgrading to newer toilets because the use of less water caused more scaling and bigger problems.

He said toilet had build up of scaling causing a narrowing and recommended augering to fix it. This 20 minute job cost $179!  That is insane!  Seriously...  for less than a half hour of work. No parts needed. Then he even said that he didn't think it was that bad...after the fact.

P. S. He said to clean out sink pipes for same issue would cost $259. Ridiculous.

Had Home Works to our home in May due to malfunctioning cooling, asking for evaluation of the dysfunction, cleaning and maintenance of the A/C. The tech did not show up for the allotted arrival window and mentioned to us that he is working overtime so he asked if he could focus on the A/C and not the furnace during the evaluation. We agreed that the a/c was currently the issue and to spend his time evaluating the A/C unit. He then stated the Freon was very low (1, and should be 8) and indicated a possibility of a leak. he noted they typically place sealant, recharge the system and place UV dye to evaluate for a possible leak. We asked if this would ultimately fix the problem, and he relayed sometimes this fixes the problem, however if there's a leak the A.C would stop working in the next 1-2 weeks. We wanted the issue resolved as we had tenants moving in within 2 months. He stated this service would be required to even evaluate for where a leak would be even if it doesn't fix the problem: at a cost of $1400. He also quoted $3000 more services that were due on the A/C and furnace. The outside coils were also chemically cleaned for 280$, which is typically only needed once a season.

The A/C then worked great for 2 months, until our tenants moved in and then it stopped cooling again. Home Works was called out again for evaluation due to knowing the system previously. The freon was again at a level of 1. They then charged $370 just to evaluate for the leak. They stated there was then a large leak at the A coil and noted the coil would have to be replaced. This tech who came to the house also was noted to ask my female tenant if she was single or had a boyfriend, which is extremely inappropriate in this atmosphere.

At this point we are out $1770 with no resolution to the problem. We had another highly rated, Angi certified, bonded and insured HVAC company evaluate for the leak and A/C unit for only $109 and due to inappropriate practices done by Home Works (most likely), Lennox would not be able to fulfill warranty on coil. At this point outside HVAC experts have said due to accumulated damages and costs by Home Work we need to buy a completely new unit.

Not only did they never resolve the issue after $1770, they required we follow their process of sealing, recharging and not fixing or looking for the leak when all other sources state a low Freon after a previously working unit indicates THERE IS A LEAK, and should evaluate for the leak first. On top of that their costs were double if not 3x the costs quoted by all 7 other companies I later talked with about the system. They take advantage of customers (who have no previous HVAC knowledge) and completely overcharge and adjust their practices to get the most money out of you as possible.

DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY.

Prompt service, very professional technicians, installed a new air exchanger for 60% of the price of 2 other bids.  They even went out of their way to repair AND paint the wall where the controller was installed.

No idea of the quality of this service as they never showed up for my scheduled tune up appointment. I waited over 2 weeks for an appointment and when the person didn't show up I called them.  First I was told I had the wrong date. I did not have the wrong date.  They called me back and said they had to reschedule my appointment but had FORGOTTEN TO CALL ME.  We had cleaned out the furnace room and were awaiting the results of the inspection to determine if we could do another home improvement or if we'd need a new furnace in the near future.  They REALLY caused problems for us by doing this!  I wouldn't waste my time with this company as they are obviously unreliable and have little concern for anyone's schedule other than their own. There are better providers out there who will put their customers first.

No Good!  This company is all about marketing, search engine optimization and a robust customer service group.  
Had a tech. out to the house to instigate an issue with the AC/Furnace system ($189/visit if over the weekend).  Performed a somewhat brief visual inspection, removed a few fittings, and allegedly 'solved the problem'.  I asked specifically, 'will this for sure solve the problem'? 'Could it be anything else'? and was told the problem is solved.  2 days later, learned the problem wasn't solved.  Called back their customer service group, and was told they will charge me again for a 'tech.' to come back out ... THIS COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANTY FAILED SERVICE WORK.

All of their HVAC personnel are independent contractors and appears to be fed leads by their customer service group.

NOT RECOMMENDED.  This company certainly is NOT a tried and true group that has very knowledgeable personnel with a long history of building quality relationships and business through great craftsmanship and work.
