Get matched with top water treatment & purification system installers and replacers in Cumming, GA

"We were very pleased with Pete Van Cleave and his presentation of the water for Life softwater system and under counter drinking water system. We ended up purchasing both. He was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions we had about these products. We would recommend Pete and Water for Life to anyone looking for soft and/or purified drinking water. Also the installer, Josh was very good at his task and explained any options in the installation process. Both Pete and Josh were on time, courteous and a pleasure to deal with."

"called several companies on 6/23/2014 , and Moncrief was the first one that could send someone out "as soon as possible in the afternoon". Not an issue since that was the response from every other company.
Technician arrived on time, was very professional and quickly found and fixed the problem.  Unfortunately, I didn't  explicitly tell him to review any repairs with me prior to making them.
I was charged a $95 diagnostic fee and $130 to replace a $15 capacitor.  $225 for 45 minutes of labor and $15 of parts. Overall a good experience, but I would not have agreed to $130 service charge for a capacitor replacement.

***DISCLAIMER***
 To anyone reading this review.  I AM qualified to change a capacitor, the average user should not attempt to make any repair with a capacitor or any other device of this type as it can cause serious injury and death when done incorrectly.

I have no complaints with the technician, he was competent and professional and did a great job.

In response to your pricing explanation, that's great. I understand. We all need to do what we need to do to cover the cost of doing business. I don't feel like anything was not a fair or honest price.  I don't feel like it's out of line with the market cost.  Bottom line, I don't care. Your overhead of doing business to stay in business is not my problem.  I agreed to pay $95 for a diagnostic fee to find out what was wrong with the unit. I would not have agreed to an additional $130 to replace a capacitor had I been asked before the work was done. Once the work was done, I paid the bill and I'm not asking for a refund or anything else for many of the reasons you outline.

 Had I known it was the blower motor capacitor, I would have gladly accepted absorbing the 90 minutes to drive to one of the Industrial Supply stores in Atlanta that I have an account to purchase a new capacitor the next day because I'm cheap like that. The unit had been out for almost 3 days at that point and the other unit was picking up the slack pretty well.

 However, I didn't have to drive anywhere or wait for shipping because I ALREADY HAD THE CAPACITOR. I bought it when I had to replace the capacitor on the outside unit 2 years ago and I wanted one on hand when the inside unit went. I also know it wasn't bad out of the box, because I tested the capacitance and discharge in the store with a Fluke 113 multimeter before I took possession of said box. It was located in a drawer less than 15 feet from your tech. Given the opportunity, that's $34 I didn't need to spend.

 I would have most likely taken the chance on making the repair myself, as replacing the capacitor is not one of the more difficult tasks involved.  Make sure the power is off at the breaker, do that special thing that must be done to make capacitors safe, disconnect the leads, remove old capacitor, put in new capacitor, reconnect leads and so on. 

 While I appreciate the time you spent to write this review and the personal note that I received in the mail, I hope this helps you  understand the reason for my dissatisfaction."

"The technician was prompt, professional, and provided several options for solving my issue. Given that the current Trane system was 25 years old, he also provided written estimates for two different replacement systems. I opted for the parts replacement and repair and am pleased with the result. The company has also called since to check to see if I was satisfied with their service. Way to go TE Certified!"

"The installation was done quickly and done well. The customer service was very professional. The only negative of this transaction was the cost of the project. It was the cost they told me it would be but I was just surprised that a replacement water softener system would cost that much. Overall I would definitely recommend this company."

"Super helpful and on time. Used them for my water heater. I would recommend them to my neighbors!"

"My water heater was replaces, Scott replace a part in my showerhead in the master bath he also unclog a toilet .I have not seen great service like this in years. Most company now day’s don’t give good customer service.. most companies just want the money but won’t provide that service well. Senior plumber technician Scott, was very respectful explain every detail of the job to me check everything after, very polite I cannot say enough about him like I said. He represents his company well… Great job Scott thank you so much"

"We hired Casteel because their approach was not just to replace the failing split system heat pump with the same type of equipment, but to reconfigure the system to cure inadequacies that the builder had created (such as not enough air returns to handle the system volume and improperly rigged shortcuts to cover other flaws). I am giving only 4 stars because although the system is now running beautifully, there were issues with the installation: (1) the night of the installation, the installers could not get the unit started, so we had to spend a hot night without air conditioning; Casteel did send out a tech the next morning to fix that problem, which he did, but it bothers me that the installers did not seem to know that the solution was right there in the manual that came with the air handler; (2) after the first tech got the system running, we set the upper level (it's a tri-level townhouse) thermostat to 70, but once the temperature got to 70 the system did not shut off, even when we turned off the thermostat, so another tech had to come out and he discovered that the thermostats had been wired incorrectly to the control board so that the reason why the upper level thermostat did not shut off the system was because the upper level thermostat was actually controlling a lower level of the system -- he corrected that problem by rewiring the control board so that each of the 3 thermostats now controls the level that the thermostat is on; (3) a city inspector checked the work two weeks later and it passed the inspection, but he commented that one part of the outside tubing should be secured because if anyone were to trip on it it might pull loose and spill refrigerant all over the ground -- he said that he would advise Casteel and I also emailed Casteel to let them know, but two weeks later and the no one has come out to secure that line. Bottom line: we got a premium system for a substantially higher price, so while we are very happy with the way the system is working now, we expected a much better installation experience and quick follow up to the inspector's recommendation, because when you pay for the best, you have the right to expect the best, from start to finish."

"Pedro was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything as he went along. We feel the price for the water replacement is a good value."

"Tech came out and confirmed my thoughts the water heater need to be replaced."

"They replaced my water heater and did a great job."
