"Do NOT use this company unless you want to be charged astronomically higher than what you should be. I had a furnace/air system put in and charged over 10,000 when unit itself costs a little over 3,000. Had pipes in kitchen alone done and charged 2,800 and left the wall out from floor to ceiling where pipes went. Now 5 years after purchasing this unit tried to charge me $800 for a part repair that was under warranty so that was for labor alone went elsewhere and had done for $180. They take advantage of people that aren’t knowledgeable on what stuff like this should cost. Don’t appreciate repeat customers and you will never pay a fair price avoid at all costs."

Fayette Heating & Air was founded in 1971 with one man, one truck and $500. From the start, Al Melrose was committed to providing quality equipment with integrity and outstanding customer service. As a second generation family-owned business, those same values lead our company today. Fayette Heating & Air has been recognized nationally, regionally and locally for both business practices and its community efforts.
"BUYER BEWARE!!!!! This company is all about getting their $99.00 for the estimate, selling you an annual service fee and then quoting exuberant prices. Not really sure if they really care about doing the actual plumbing work. Recently gave me an estimate for a job of $500. Learned later after from another plumber that what they wanted to do was actually not correct AND should have cost no more than $250. Had I used Fayette Heating / H20 Mastero, I would have paid $600 for a job done incorrectly. At least the 99.00 I paid kept me from damaging my house further. There are a lot of reputable plumbers in Lexington. Suggest you look elsewhere"

"I felt compelled to write a review to simply document my experience with Velasquez Flooring. I do not wish anyone to find themselves in the position I am now in after hiring Santos and his crew to re-model my bathroom. Not only did I have to find a new contractor to completely re-do the bathroom but to also fix the additional damage caused by Santos and his crew. I have included some pictures/ stills from a video I took immediately after to timestamp/document their work. I do also want to point out that one of the google reviews is by Santos (the actual contractor himself) and one is by his wife (Kate). I only noticed this after I went back to look at reviews recently, as I am still quite shocked by this situation. I hired Velasquez flooring to re-do my entire bathroom. And unfortunately, the quality of the work they did do was not only extremely poor but they did not actually complete the job (although Santos told me they were done originally before me noting all the issues and then did not offer solutions to address all of the issues). In addition, they caused additional, new damage in a variety of ways. If this had not happened to me personally, I would never have imagined such poor work could have been done nor so much additional damage. Santos acknowledged how poor the work was and gave me nearly all my money back in labor costs (he kept $250 in labor). When he did this he actually mentioned running into this issue before, which is scary as no reviews mention anything like it. However, I am still out the costs of materials as I had purchased all materials, the costs of re-doing the entire bathroom, and the costs of fixing the additional damage that him and his crew caused. I did reach out to Santos to see if he would be so kind as to reimburse me for at least some of these costs especially the new damage – and he had a lawyer write a threatening letter to me in response. In no specific order – here are the issues (see some pictures that document many of these issues). The tub was not installed level (very off), which of course leads to water pooling (while they were testing it out) and collecting around the front of the tub (among other issues). Santos and the crew did not waterproof the concrete boards behind the tub/shower tile/grout work. The tile/grout work around the tub was also installed crooked and was not sealed. The grout was not mixed properly, so rather than a solid black grout, it was various shades of grey and even white in certain areas. The grout also had various holes in it all around the tub. Due to the combination of these issues, water leaked from around the shower/tub down into the downstairs bedroom (new damage). Thus, not only did this work look awful but is not functional/properly installed in any way and can create further damage if I were to continue to use in its current state. I have had multiple contractors/ inspectors come out to assess the work to try to see if I could salvage any of it without creating further damage and unfortunately the consensus is that it needs to be entirely redone (e.g., tub re-installed, all tile and grout re-done, etc.). Santos and his crew installed a recessed mirror/medicine cabinet crooked and caused damage to the bedroom wall (the wall on the other side of the bathroom) when doing so. They also scratched the mirror and left white paint all over the frame. They installed two totally different baseboards and did not finish properly painting the bathroom. The shower door was installed entirely crooked, with tile and grout crumbling behind it. There is grout all of many of the tiles in the bathroom - they never even cleaned this off. Santos and his crew did not properly install the sink and while they were supposed to install new valves, they just left the old ones and spray painted them black. I knew because they weren’t the ones purchased for installation and the spray paint was rubbing off. Again, I write this to simply provide an honest review/documentation of my experience with Santos and his crew - specifically with regard to a bathroom re-model."

"This was amazing! I had no idea this service existed. After searching and contacting various repair places for my washer, this was the most cost effective option. I figured if it didn't work, my machine is old and I would be out $40, not the $100+ to have a tech come out and just diagnose the problem. I am pretty handy and my washer is old anyway, so if it is broken, I have to get a new one anyway. My tech, Steve, was great! He predicted what was wrong after listening to the machine, calmly walked me through dismantling the machine and when we got down to the motor, he was right! He sent me a link to the part I would need, and let me know to contact them again if I needed help installing it. My machine works even better than before it broke, its beautifully quiet and efficient. I will definitely be saving this company for any future repairs on appliances I may need. The service was $40 + the part cost, which was about $8."

Yes, although they have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional units, tankless water heaters can be worth the investment for many homeowners. They heat water on demand, eliminating standby energy losses and leading to 24% to 34% greater energy efficiency for homes using up to 41 gallons of hot water daily. Tankless units last longer—around 20 years with proper maintenance—and require less space than traditional units. They also reduce the risk of leaks and water damage since there's no tank to corrode and fail.
Tankless water heaters, including gas-powered models, do require electricity to operate components like the ignition and control systems. This means they won't function during a power outage. If you live in an area prone to outages and want to ensure a continuous hot water supply, consider installing a battery backup system or generator to keep your tankless water heater running when the power goes out.
You should set your tankless water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal safety and efficiency, as recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Setting the temperature at 120 degrees prevents scalding accidents, particularly for children and the elderly, and reduces energy consumption. Temperatures above 140 degrees increase the risk of burns and promote mineral buildup, which can decrease the system's efficiency.
A 20-minute shower uses 50 to 60 gallons of water, assuming a flow rate of 2.5 to 3 gallons per minute. A typical whole-house tankless water heater can produce 4 to 8 gallons of hot water per minute, providing continuous hot water for long showers. By installing low-flow showerheads and reducing shower time, you decrease water consumption and energy costs, maximizing the efficiency of your tankless system.
With proper maintenance, a tankless water heater lasts around 20 years, significantly longer than conventional tank water heaters, which last between 8 and 12 years. Regular inspections and timely repairs can further extend its lifespan. To keep your tankless system operating efficiently, have it inspected or serviced annually and address any minor issues promptly by contacting a local tankless water heater repair service.
