Best Air Duct Repair in Washington DC

Sean was great, he came to look at my furnace the same day, and his prices are competitive. He was able to get it started again, and told me what could be a possible issue to keep an eye on. I'll definitely call when I need help around the house with other systems

I reached out a couple of weeks in advance to booked a non-urgent plumbing job over Yelp's request a quote feature. I got a response to call, did so, and booked a Saturday from 8-10am specifically so I wouldn't have to take off work. A few days after I initially reached out to make the booking I got another call asking me if I would like to schedule a visit. I said I had already done so, figuring there was just a simple in-office miscommunication.

Come the day of my appointment, I was ghosted. No plumber, no call, nothing.

The following Monday I received a text that a plumber was on the way (not the one they told me either). I called and they said I was scheduled for Monday from 2-4pm, which I would not have chosen since I would've taken time off.

Needless to say, I'll be finding a different company.

Great customer service from this small business.  They came quickly and did a significant amount of HVAC work on short notice at a fair price.

I'm writing this two days after the OTECH technician came to fix the plumbing in our kitchen. We started having issues on a Saturday night, after the kitchen sink backed up and a pipe underneath the sink burst and leaked the contents of the sink all over the kitchen floor. We also had some water backing up into our dishwasher.

We called OTECH on Sunday morning after calling a handful of other plumbers and not getting a particularly good vibe from any of them. When we called OTECH, the technician said he could be there within 2 hours. He arrived on time and was transparent about his pricing from the start. He said he would charge a reasonable flat rate to fix everything and replace anything that needed to be replaced. We negotiated for a few minutes and he agreed to knock off $40 from his original quote. He spent about 1 hour snaking the drains, tinkering with the garbage disposal, and replacing/sealing pipes under the sink. He cleaned up the kitchen floor and left everything pretty clean, all things considered.

When he was finished, he presented me with the invoice with the agreed upon price. He did not try to up-sell me on anything.

So far, everything is working great and I have nothing negative to say about the experience. The technician arrived on time, worked quickly, fixed the problem, and charged a reasonable fee for his work.

Wow! What great service and terrific communication from every member of the team. I had a tricky issue, was on an urgent schedule due to travel, it took two visits, but all's well. Thanks so much for being super professional. I know we'll be calling you again!

Used Sila for a HVAC tune up and was very happy with the quality of the work and the customer service. Called in to schedule an appointment with a technician and they sent someone the next day. The technician even arrived early. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and thorough with the service and was in and out pretty quickly. The price for the service was lower than most of the quotes I got from other places, so overall I would definitely recommend using their services.

When the technician showed up to give me a quote to fix a leaky pipe, he was quite thorough and took his time assessing the other pipes in the basement. However, his quotes were over 3x what the second most expensive company quoted me on the same jobs. I was almost insulted by the prices. I can't rate on the quality of work, but the prices were too much for a simple homeowner.

We have used OHA successfully in the past and we are using them again for a new A/C unit. We had an appointment
with Taylor Ross. Taylor was so helpful and knowledgeable I would recommend him to anyone. Great service. Great business.

Pablo Zapata was responsive and an excellent diagnostician. He arrived at my parents house quickly after they called. He ran a battery of tests on their air conditioning and determined they needed a capacitor replaced. He installed it that day and now my parents are napping in a cool house. Thanks, Pablo, for your professionalism and expertise. Highly recommend this company.

After having a company come out 5 times to repair my hvac system I called these guys and I'm so glad I did. These guys are the best. I spent over $1,600 with another company and the same problem kept coming back. Part of it was my fault because I never changed my filter in the 2 years I've lived here which caused my coils to keep freezing up. The first company never even brought up my filters or even addressed why they were freezing up. They just charged me to put freon in my system(3 times) and replaced my blower motor which now I don't know for sure if I needed it. Brian B Quick came out and didn't charge anything for an assessment. Right away they figured out that my system was very dirty and needed to be cleaned. They cleaned my coils and checked for freon leaks by installing dye and nitrogen and there were no leaks, in fact the first company put too much freon in there. My hvac system is working better now than it has ever has. I couldn't even tell you how happy  I'm now that I finally found a company that is good and honest. These guys will be my go to company for my house and all of my rentals. If you need a good honest company than call these guys, you won't be disappointed.

Nugent recently installed a whole house generator for us and one of the techs was Jake Harrington. The crew did a masterful job despite some troublesome weather. Since then Jake has done outstanding follow-up work for us and our neighbor, who also received a Nugent-installed generator. What truly has made Jake a standout for us is how he has responded to the failures of a generator component in both our units, how he identified the problem (bad hardware) and the lengths he went to to provide replacements and notification to the manufacturer. Techs like Jake are a credit to the industry and underline our confidence in Nugent.

I have used this company a few times now mostly for adding fuses for our outdoor kitchen and heater for pool. They were efficient and knowledgeable. I'm not super happy with the looks internally within my guest bedroom but it works. Also the outside outlet is not quite sealed properly and I'm afraid it cause an issue. I out a covering over it but definitely going to need it replaced. I like how quickly they were able to come by and fix each inquiry. Just not sure the full extent of the fixes, feels like it is always rushed. Could be that the jobs are not being pursued like before Covid, but electricians sure seem to be in demand. I'll give them another opportunity.

Professional crew, charge way too much, nickel and dime you with fees etc.

Good service, knowledgeable plumber who comes just on time.He purchased the misding material.

I had a great experience with Jimmy Gusky. I found the company on Yelp and checked with the DCSEU that they were one of their approved contractors.
Tom came out to provide an estimate for replacing the gas boiler in our 100 year old home. We didn't immediately move forward because we were gathering other estimates and having the chimney checked out to make sure the problem wasn't there.
After firing up the old boiler, crossing our fingers and hoping for the best, it went kaput within hours. I called Tom back and asked if the estimate was still good. He gave me an even better price -- the lowest of the three estimates we got for the highest efficiency boiler we could get at that price. They moved quickly and we had our new boiler installed within hours, just days after I asked them to proceed with the work. They cleaned up and left no trace except for a nice new boiler and a toasty house. I hope I never need these guys again, but if I need any HVAC work done, Jimmy Gusky is the first call I'll make.

Charged a service fee just to come and give me a hugely inflated estimate. It was $30 just to get them to come to my house to give me an estimate that was at least three times what it should've been (for dishwasher repair - Sears has since charged me 1/3 of the original estimate that this company gave me). Despite me explaining in great detail over the phone and in email the guy got to my house and was like: So.....why am I here again??? I was like For Dishwasher repair. and he was like Oh. Clearly they just sent any old guy out to my house; he was not a specialist at all.  Then, when I told the guy that I wouldn't pay that price he tried to BARGAIN with me. Just having returned from a trip to China, I am not in the mood for more bargaining. Why didn't they just offer a normal price in the first place?? Now I am out thirty bucks for no reason. Give me a break. I will never call this company again.

Rarely is a company so bad (or good) that they merit my energy to write a review.  Magnolia is such a horrible company.  

My AC went out on me after a power outtage in my neighborhood.  

I needed to contact someone quickly so I reached out to a number of companies including Magnolia.  Magnolia got back to me right away and scheduled an appointment for the following day.  

The service folks showed up on time.  They were friendly and professional.  Because of the electrical issues they couldn't complete the diagnostic.  

I had the electrical issues resolved and had them come back.  They were prompt and showed up on time again.  The same service guy arrived.

He told me that my compressor and even the condenser had to be replaced and that I also had acid in my system.  He couldn't give me an estimate.  Someone else does that.  

The next day the estimator came by.  He spent about 20 mins here.  He told me he would send me the estimate later that day.  The next day I contacted him since I hadn't received the estimate as promised.   He said he needed additional information for me for the evaporator.  I thought this was strange since we had only been talking about the condenser.

Well, he finally sent me the estimate the following day and I was absolutely shocked.  I had thought in my mind that it would cost $1500 at most to replace the condenser.   Their estimate was $3901.  I wanted to know why it was so high.  I also asked why they did not consider that my condenser is still under warranty and therefore I could get the parts for free.  I also wanted to know how much of $3901 was for parts and what was for labor.  The estimator told me in a very rude way that he doesn't break down his estimate.  Really?  You give someone an estimate of nearly 4 grand and you don't provide any justification for it.  I was in total disbelief.  I knew this wasn't right.  I also asked about the fact that my unit was under warranty.  The guy told me that my manufacturer would not give me a replacement since I had acid in my system.  I told him thank you but I will go elsewhere.  I lost my $89 service fee.

A couple days later while talking to a friend about this, she told me I should give her guy who is license and verified and does work on her properties a call.  I did.  He came by and did a real diagnostic that did not last mere minutes and determined that I needed a couple parts but I did not need to replace the entire condenser nor did I need to replace the evaporator coil.   He arranged to swap out the parts with my manufacturer for free.  He had no problem doing so with the manufacturer.  I have AC now and it only cost $750 and not the outrageous $3901 that Magnolia wanted to charge me.  What a ripoff.

I had a small pinhole leak in a supply line going to a shower. The real plummer applied some solder, and without checking to see if the problem had been fixed,  (by simply turning on the water) abruptly packed up his tools and headed out. He didn't care enough to see if it was still leaking. After running the water for less than 4 minutes, the leak reappeared before the repairman left, as he did not completely cover the hole. He reluctantly said he would give it another shot, and ended up fixing the problem. The guy was so eager to get my money, it was obvious that he didn't care about the workmanship. Very shady company in my opinion. I will never hire them again.

Terrible service.  We had a water pipe break in an outside storage area and in the basement.  Spartan came 3 times to fix it.  They had no idea what they were doing. The repairman showed up without the right tools or equipment.  The remediation service working in the basement warned me.  They work they did was shoddy and incomplete.  Two weeks after Spartan completed  the work, the pipe started to leak again - such a major leak that DC Water notified me of excessive water use.  I had to turn off all the water in the house again. I called Spartan and made an appointment and the repairman did not show up or even call.  I would never ever use Spartan again and I would not recommend them.  Ed N. Washington, DC
