Get matched with top water treatment & purification system repair or service pros in Amsterdam, NY

"When researching for information and prices for a water softening system, I found many companies that gave me false or misleading information. Most contacts at the companies were only interested in making a quick sale. They all told me their system was "the best" that there was nothing else like it out there. This is obviously a lie. Water softeners all work in the same basic concept. Steve at Aquascience was straight forward, informative and extremely helpful. I spoke to him several times over a few days with many questions, all of which, he answered honestly and without the sales push. I choose Aquascience because Steve knew his business and was honest and helpful. The price was also reasonable. The warranty coverage is excellent. The install went great. They addressed all of my needs and answered any questions. Systems is working great! Soft water is very nice! Thanks for a job well done!"

"We’ve never used H2o solutions before but have worked with several other water treatment companies over the past 25 years. Chip Covell was the pro who did the work this time and he is phenomenal! Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, neat and fairly priced. He’s a keeper - I’ll never request anyone else again. Thank you!"

"From our first mtg till the actual work was done, it was a very easy process. Joe ( the salesman and Greg ( the installer) were both very informative and easy to talk to. I’m looking forward to no more dry skin and delicious water to drink"

"Very friendly and professional. The filtered drinking water is absolutely amazing and the water softener made a huge difference."

"Fixed the problem in a timely manner. Friendly and provided excellent service. Would not hesitate to contact again."

"~I have a Moen kitchen sink faucet, no water issues... just the base of faucet got loose, saw this plumbing service call offer in angies list and wanted to make use of this opportunity as I do not have right tool to tighten nut under the sink, as well as a pro might be able to fix stuff if it's more than DIY, in any way it was max 30 min work with right tool.
~purchased deal (vendor: A Real Plumber, albany, ny), 39$ for service call (includes 39$ towards repairs) - this shpould actually cover for fix I am looking for (with a washer and o ring if needed)
~confirmed service time for 7/22 between 9 - 10 am, I cleared everything under sink and made work area ready so that we don't waste any time, as I needed to take my kids out.
~Chris from A Real Plumber showed up at 10:15 AM, explained what I needed
~first 15 mins or so he spent on other things try to convince me shut off valves needed to be replaced< I know they work properly shutting and releasing as needed as I do use faucet filters and time to time work with them to clean up filter pipes / parts), asked how much it would cost - he quoted 125$ for one, since he is here he can do both for same price, even at this time he did not mention how much would be for faucet fix.
~I did not want any additional work or enhancements, and he started looking into issue, 20 mins later he was back and forth several times to his truck, and informed that he is not finding a right tool to fix this and checking with me to see if I have one with original faucet package - unfortunately this call wouldn't have happened if I had that :-(
~10 mins later he found one from his truck, and was fixed in next 15 mins, he mentioned a small washer need to be changed, which is also done, everything was done by 11:15 with actual time to fix issue about 30 min max
~ during all this time or before neither details in offer or vendor mentioned this service call will have a flat charges etc., he took 15 to 20 mins put his tools back in truck and prepare invoice/bill
~came back and mentioned faucet re-installed and made sure its installed properly, total 175$ - 39$ (amount paid to angies list or towards repairs) = 136$ (for me its total 175$ that I am paying)
~when asked about price that is more for work done, he tried to explain that its charged as a flat rate for faucet repair (remember there is no new faucet involved and its only tightening nut under sink), he mentioned flat charge for 3 hrs.
~when asked about how angies list offer helping me here as its 39$ service call + 39$ towards repairs .. so I should be getting 78$ of worth discount on total bill, he said he is not charging for trip and reducing 39$, so 175$ purely for labor to tighten a nut, I think this is RIP OFF,  they have coupon on their website for free service call all the time, when asked about it he wanted me to call them directly and NOT to go through angies list. for better value, (reason we chose angies list is to avoid such experiences :-))
~I had a wonderful experience with similar offer a for a pool service call with same conditions, that I will share more details on another review but person came in partially opened my pool and fixed my filter system and ladder and spent more time than this call, did not charge me anything other than what I paid for angies list offer, my suggestion to angies list is to lock price for service call appointments and time based on vendor type and when vendor shows up make sure they evaluate and confirm time needed for the service call if it goes beyond offer time then discuss how much customer need to pay before starting service.
~unfortunately this is second bad experience with A Real Plumber, and I am not going to use their services anymore or recommend to anyone
~being a premium member called angies call center to explain issue, and looking forward if they can help me in any way regarding this matter.

"Came to provide routine oil-fired boiler service. Asked why there was always water being expelled from the overflow valve. Tested and found a bad expansion tank. Replace both tank and valve (on the truck). Problem solved!

"Don,t count on CHW for emergency repairs; water heater problem...3 days before anyone could come out...contacted my own service... no reimbursement from CHW. Otherwise wait time is usually 3 to 7 days for assessment then more time for actual work. The repair services have done exceptional work. One service was rescheduled 3 times by company for assessment only.. took another 2 weeks for parts and repair. Another company made instant assessment and repair. Usually $65 for service fee. AC system was replaced with a known brand, but I still had out of pocket expenses of which I was notified ($650). Lousy call center outside US...scripted. Very frustrating trying to explain issues and understanding replies. Companies hired by CHW did exceptional work. No complaints other than scheduling. Will investigate other companies when contract expires."

"This was a big deal purchase. I was not happy with that deal at all. I think that the advertising on this is extremely misleading. It's suppose to be a $39.00 service call and $39.00 off. As it turns out, he says, and this is certainly not clear in your advertising that it is $39.00 for a service call and $39.00 for a return visit. Based on his prices, there will never be a return visit. I mean, if I'm getting a $39.00 service call, and it's a relatively simple job, I wouldn't expect to cost me almost $200.00 more for him to do what he did. His prices are crazy. It turned out not to be a good deal. If a service call is $39.00 and someone is there for an hour, or less than an hour, probably close to thirty minutes. How much would you expect that to cost you? The service call is already paid for as part of the deal. I just think his prices are crazy. I don't remember what the total was, it was around $200.00.  It ended up costing around $200.00, I had to argue with him on that. He wanted to charge me another $75.00 for installing one little piece of pipe. It was really kind of an optional we might as well change this while we're at it. I'm not trying to be cheap in any way, shape or form but, I think his prices would have been high if I had not paid for the big deal. So, the big deal turns out to be nothing. Signup and basically get nothing. I don't have any problem with the quality of service but, his price is what's crazy. No other real comments other than that. My interaction was fine. The work that was done was fine. There was nothing exceptional, nothing that was poor. Nothing beyond what you would expect from an ordinary situation."
