Best A/C Installation in Wichita KS
Our plumber was utterly unprofessional, and nothing was fixed after two appointments.
Doing the wash, the drain pipe was backing up. Did a quick search, found this company was still rated decently well, so I decided to give them a try.
First pass was cheap, and it took a little bit of time, which I expected.
Two days later I'm still having the same issue. Turns out I misunderstood the plumber and all they did was clear out the drain pipe. Now I realize I've overpaid them, and that job took way too long. I thought they were clearing my main line, and the time taken seemed adequate for that, and the price was very good.
The new price quoted for clearing the main line, or doing the job I initially thought I paid them for would have been reasonable, had that been all I paid. But no, I had already paid them a good chunk of money. Now it's getting expensive.
Now that they had a real job to do, the plumber is walking around like a chicken with their head cut off.
Do I have exterior access to the main line?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I'm going to walk around and have a look.
They notice that my front lawn has lines marked. Natural gas work had been done.
Did they knock on your door and tell you anything about your sewer?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I'm going to call around.
They finally resign themselves to using the access point I showed them at the beginning of the appointment. They hit something and decide to accuse us *multiple* times of flushing wipes, which we don't do.
Cue two hours later, and the job is not done.
Do have a manhole cover, I'm not hitting anything.
Not that I'm aware.
Are you sure?
Mostly.
I'm going to walk around.
A cable broke and the plumber taught my toddler a swear word by yelling it to high heaven. We also heard it because all the doors were left open. The main line access is in a bare concrete room, and he leaves the door to the finished portion wide open.
The drop cloth he laid down was an afterthought. Our carpeted stairs were filthy. The finished floor was disgusting. They did not really clean up after themselves. I glanced the wash room after he left and saw some water on the floor; that was expected. Today I go into the room and realize that feces are everywhere. I get to spend a solid half day washing and disinfecting half of that room.
And the cherry on top is that nothing was fixed. And as the plumber leaves, he has the audacity to tell me to careful what I flush. My blood boils just recounting this experience.
TL;DR
I was able to get my money back, but that's not enough to warrant a second star. It was a miserable experience. The plumber was largely clueless and extremely unprofessional to point of being childish. And the cherry on top was that they left a massive mess that I am still attempting to clean.
Getting an offer from the company to have it cleaned with no charge was too little, too late. If I hire a professional, I expect a professional. I wanted nothing more to do with them at all.

Not often a septic service probably receives reviews but I have to tell you after calling 5 or 6 and either no answer or can't get to us Sunflower Services came out within 24 hours of the call. Robert the driver went above and beyond to answer my questions and complete the job at hand. Very impressed will recommend them to anyone who asks for this service. Thanks again for making it convenient for the customer instead of your business.

They were professional, reliable and affordable. They showed up on time, did the work quickly and didn't try to upsell me. There were some issues following up with the quote and getting the appointment set up, but I think that might have been a temporary issue. Overall, I would hire them again.

We had a number of plumbing issues which we had been putting off. We contacted Wichita Plumbing Company and they were able to come out the next morning.
I was very impressed with the way they moved about from one fixit job to the next. No time was wasted whatsoever. They cleaned as they went along and literally left the area cleaner than when they came in.
We asked them to install new lines, a new faucet and a new in-line cut-off valve. This would have taken me 2 or 3 hours to do myself.
Their price was fair and they were in and out in less than 90 minutes.
Very impressed!

They were able to come out and do the job the same day I called them. They charged three times less than what the big name brand plumber wanted. They fixed my problem quick too. And they were friendly. I would definitely recommend and if I need a plumber in the future I will be calling them.

Alan was the help we needed to get our sprinkler system repaired for now until we have to bite the bullet and replace the valve box. He came on a Sunday and worked until he figured out what was wrong. Alan was patient, kind, friendly and worked hard in the afternoon heat. I highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
Here's why:
My wife and I recently purchased and are renovating an 1875 farm house. The house was retrofitted with an HVAC system utilizing flexible duct work and we contacted American Services to assess our system and replace everything with standard metal duct. Doug Drinnen quoted the work after reviewing our home in person, and though his estimate was substantially higher than expected, Doug assured us his expert opinion and craftsmanship would create a much more efficient flow of air and optimize the heating and cooling effort. His technicians arrived with no information regarding the job, asked me how I expected them to do it and had to leave to purchase materials. However, they ultimately completed the task in two days and I was initially happy with the work.
A few months later, as the Kansas heat sank in, we quickly realized the home would not cool. I called out a local HVAC service company and he found a faulty fan on the outdoor unit. Upon entering the house he immediately pointed to the duct work and said it is not run properly to move the required amount of air. When I told him we recently had all the duct work done professionally, he laughed and asked if I paid the bill already. He provided a quote to rework their mistakes. I decided to test his theory and called in two additional companies and, without providing any history of previous work, asked if the system is installed correctly. Every technician stated the same thing, the duct work is too small to provide sufficient air movement, there is not enough return air, the duct work needs to be insulated and several runs needed to be separated. I ultimately hired one of these professionals to perform the repairs, as we were working on a very tight schedule with several other contractors.
I contacted Doug and informed him of what I had learned and he immediately denied there was ever a problem with their service. He went so far as to accuse all three contractors of lying to me. I then asked for him to reimburse me an amount he felt was reasonable given the circumstances. He refused. He then told me he did exactly as I requested and simply swapped duct for duct. He ultimately decided I was not entitled to a refund because I did not give him the opportunity to fix what he clearly and adamantly said was not broken.
I advise anyone to find another contractor and avoid this outfit altogether. I would also advise any previous customers to have their work reviewed, as we almost covered up their shotty workmanship with drywall and would have spent years chasing poor air comfort and premature equipment breakdown. Doug Drinnen has more pride than integrity and does not stand behind his work, nor can the work stand on its own merit. His website statement of 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed is merely a slogan. Run as fast as you can from this used car salesman.

The technician, Josh, was well trained and very courteous. He replaced my leaking water heater at midnight in 2.5 hours . So, instead mopping water all night and worrying, I was able to get some sleep and didn't have to take a day off from work to meet a plumber that only works banker's hours. THANKS!!

I called their 24 hour line around midnight, and was transferred by the dispatcher to a tech. The tech said he was too tired to complete any more work that evening. It was late, so when he said they would call me back around 7:30 am in the morning to send someone out when they open up at 8 am, that was fine. Plus, I would be avoiding the overtime charges. The call comes in, they said they need to setup my account before they can send someone out, seems reasonable, but they had all my information that was given to dispatch the night before. At this point I'm still thinking that someone is on their way. I get a another call 12:49 pm, they are calling me to put me on the schedule for this afternoon if I'm willing to pay overtime rates, even though it would be scheduled during normal business hours. This call supremely irritated me, because I had not gone to work because I was led to believe that a tech was going to already be out this morning when they opened. Now, I find out they don't have a time for me yet, and no matter what they are going to charge me overtime rates. I asked for the boss, Brett the boss said you should have scheduled with all the other companies and cancel the others when the first one arrives. Since I wasn't on another companies schedule I really wanted him to make this right by at least guaranteeing me a time this afternoon. He would not do that. So made the mistake of expecting them to show up. I didn't realize that one is expected to make appointments with all the HVAC companies in Wichita and take whoever shows up first. Now I missed work and still have no AC, and still am not on any companies schedule. They price gouge charging OT rates all day if you want to agree to get on the schedule in the next week after being led to believe they would be out already that morning. Lesson learned: schedule appointments with as many companies as you can find and cancel after one show up. -- not how I do business but it is what they expect.
