"I felt extremely cared for by the whole company. They were clear with what they were able to do, what the problems were, etc.. I was given an extreme amount of attention and I was so impressed with the work that I ended up going ahead and having them replace my hot water heater because I could trust that it was going to be done right."

"My prior water heater, a 50-gallon tank, started leaking after 15 years. I called Streamline to confirm that it needed replacement, and to replace it. I was considering a tankless water heater already, and the first tech walked me through the pros and cons, then wrote up an estimate. Two additional techs came the next day to install the heater and the necessary gas and power lines. The only issue I had was that one of the newly installed gas fittings leaked gas into the basement. I shut off the supply valve and called Streamline, and they came out within half an hour to fix it at their expense. Mistakes happen, and I was impressed with how professionally they corrected that one."

"Excellent experience with Modern Plumbing of the Triangle! I had an unexpected water heater emergency over the weekend, and Master Plumber Mike Calkins, was responsive, thorough in diagnosing the issue, and prompt in scheduling service. He completed the installation the very next day with exceptional workmanship. He was professional, patient in answering my many questions, and he did not try to up sell unnecessary services or products. His pricing was reasonable and he cleaned up the area thoroughly after the service was completed. I would absolutely hire him again and I wholeheartedly recommend him without reservation. If you have water heater or any plumbing needs, consider Modern Plumbing of the Triangle - you will not be disappointed!"

"Service and quality of work could not be better. Came out the same day and did a very high quality installation. The cost of the installation was a bit high. I guess you get what you pay for."

"Pros: They were extremely quick to come out. They were able to start and finish the job within a couple hours. Great service overall Cons: limited on your water heater choices. And they are a little pricey. (You get what you pay for though)"

"I've done business with Air Experts for well over 10 years from installation of a replacement system in our previous house followed by regular service and service in our new house. We're on the annual maintenance plan. Techs arrive on time, are neat, take care of the maintenance efficiently, explain what was done and handle the paperwork quickly. Will continue to use them and recommend them."

"<blockquote> <blockquote> My blower motor on my AC went out August 9, 2013.  I checked Angie's List for highly rated heating and air companies in Fayetteville, N.C.  Blanton's was one of the first companies on the list.  I  called Blanton's Friday morning to see if a technician could come to my house.   Tanya, the office dispatch, told me all technicians were booked for Friday but she had her technicians ask any customers with routine maintenance whether or not they would  reschedule in order to free up a slot for me.  Tanya also went ahead to schedule me for a Monday appointment in case no customers would reschedule their routine maintenance.  I want to point out that I also called other companies in the area, and those other companies did not offer to check whether their technicians could reschedule their routine maintenance customers in order to put me on their schedule.  One of  Blanton's technicians John was able to reschedule a customer and come to my house and check the AC unit.  John did all the necessary tests and found that the blower motor was bad.  He gave the name and serial number of the motor  to Tanya so she could search for the availability of the part.  Tanya searched very extensively for the availability of this motor and discovered there was anywhere from a two to three week wait on the replacement part.  I was also given the option to replace the motor with another brand.  I chose to replace the motor with another brand because last summer I waited two weeks to resolve the same problem.  This is a variable speed motor and apparently there are quality control issues with this model.  <br /> </blockquote> </blockquote> I was originally scheduled for Monday but decided to call the office for after hours service today August 10, 2013.  John scheduled me for a 2 to 4 o'clock time frame.  He finished earlier with other customers and actually showed up early to my house.  John went ahead and installed the new blower motor.  He also had to install a new 12.5 capacitor and relay.  I also asked John to install a surge protector on my unit.  I once had a thunderstorm take out an older unit.  I believe the time the labor took was at most an hour and a half.  John did all the necessary tests on the unit to make sure that it was operating properly.  He also checked for proper freon levels.  John is an excellent technician.  He is very courteous and professional.  He spoke to me in a very pleasant manner, and I really felt as a customer I was important to him.  As I'm typing this review my house is cooling down and I'm feeling much better than I was feeling yesterday.   <br /> Blanton's is a heating and air company that really values its customers.  I feel the company's staff really takes pride in customer service and does not take for granted the business they get from people in the surrounding area.   I really believe Tanya made me a priority customer Friday because of the nature of my problem.  I honestly felt that I was pushed to the front of the line in order to take care of my problem.  Tanya called me about three times Friday to keep me posted about the availability of the motor and what other options I could take.  I am a first time customer and I received A+ treatment.   <br /> Blanton's pricing is right within the range of the market.  All of your reputable companies are going to be in the same ballpark concerning costs of parts and labor.  I use to use an independent guy to do my heating and air and I can tell you that Blanton's pricing is in the same range as his costs.  The advantages of choosing Blanton's over the independent guy are  you can use a credit card if you don't have cash on hand or in your bank account for check writing and you get a technician out to your house much quicker than the independent guy I use to use because he is just overbooked for a one man operation.  <br /> It is customary that people get three or four quotes when searching for contractors.  I highly recommend that Blanton's be one of those companies you consult with.  I believe their customer service is top notch.  The technician who did work at my house was very skilled in his field of work.  The pricing is not gonna be some bottom of the barrel quote, but you will get a fair market price on the parts and labor.  I can say in closing that I would not hesitate at all in recommending Blanton's for your heating and air services.  <br />"

"Our tankless water heater wasn't working. They were at my home within an hour of when I called them, even though it wasn't an emergency. Fixed it promptly at an incredibly reasonable price. They will be my go-to plumbing service from this point forward."
