Best Home Inspection in Wichita KS

Called sunflower because I had a pipe break and water was leaking badly. They quickly came to my property and addressed the issue. Ty stayed patient with this particularly challenging problem and worked diligently until the issue was fixed. Will work with them again

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.

I called Benjamin Franklin today after my water heater shot craps yesterday and they caught my attention with a sticker on the front of my Wichita Eagle this morning.  The two gentleman arrived on time and conducted themselves in a professional and courteous manner.  However, I was stunned when after informing me that it was a fairly simple and routine installation they then proceeded to tell me that the cost of replacing my water tank was $1800!!! (I had asked the receptionist I spoke to on the phone what the cost might be, but she declined to give even a cursory estimate even though the plumbers who arrived had a laminated pricing chart with them.)   I thought this sounded excessive and decided to check around before committing.  After calling 3 other reputable plumbers I was quoted a total cost of product and installation ranging from $825 to $925.  I'm sure Benjamin Franklin probably does good work, but I can't imagine that they are worth twice what everybody else is charging for the same job.  

I would shop around before using their services.

So things have obviously changed since the last reviews! last fall the main water line coming from the city water into the house was leaking, after 2 days of digging (trying to fix it myself) I gave up! I called Lyday plumbing on a recommendation from a customer of ours. It was Saturday night and there was snow on the ground below freezing temperatures. The owner actually came over that night and repaired the line!
My neighbor has the same situation going on today, we did most of the digging (again trying to DIY) and couldn't get the fittings to fit, it's Sunday BTW, called Lyday again and they have an appointment for tomorrow morning early! This is a great company!
