"Absolutely painless from start to finish. They gave us the best price that no one else in the area could match and were professional and efficient on installation day. I’m a Realtor and refer them to all of my clients and friends. Outstanding service!"

"They were by far the best salesman. They did use and leave the manufactures sales aids. Also the only contractor to leave a complete check list of everything that would be done. Andrew was the only one out of four to point out the fact that the old furnace was installed in a non serviceable position for removal of the circulation fan. Extra work was done to correct this problem. Next day instillation was just as impressive. I met four people from the company, and all were professional. All of the above came with the best price.

"Amazing! These really know how to up the anti, regarding customer service. Where other folks quoted me at $300 for a look see (to include travel), charged me around $270 for everything. Now mind you, my hubby had already purchased the UV-C light and installed the electrical outlet. Even if he hadn't, I will still receiving estimates that were astronomical. No Frost followed up emails and phone calls. We were seen in a timely manner. There no hidden fees. I felt this company in being honest and I loved that Thank you note. No Frost - you guys Rock!"

"Great, Heil fixed the plumbing for my irrigation off the main, it was leaking and a mes. They cleaned it up and installed new PVC. It works great and no issues. Fair price. I'd hire them again. Paul"

"Sam and Chad did a wonderful job clearing the tub drain, installing new faucets in the bathrooms, installing a new shower head, and other projects. They double checked their work and answered any questions I had. While they need to come back next week to do a small part of the whole project, they were honest about what piece of equipment they thought would work, but would not. They were efficient, professional, and pleasant to be around. They made my day."

"It was a superb experience. From the visit by Bruce the sales representative to the installation day to the follow-up from Petro, every single person we interacted with was helpful and professional. When Bruce arrived to do the assessment, we spent time going over the heating needs in the house. After a thorough inspection and measurement of the house, we sat down. He showed me a few options, all of which were going to provide good service. I ordered a unit at the end of that meeting. The installation day was just terrific- the entire work crew that showed up were everything I would hope to find: Upbeat, informative, hard-working, focused. The job was finished before end of day as promised. The heater room is now immaculate, with new piping and a new heater. It was like watching a pit crew at a NASCAR race. Everyone had their tasks, they moved carefully but quickly. The materials were all laid out in order, etc. Just a totally professional approach to their work. The crew boss answered any questions I had. The follow-up for a normal inspection of the furnace chimney was scheduled the day after the installation. I’ve gotten calls to insure we are satisfied with the work. Satisfied barely covers it- I am pleased to write this kind of review. Without hesitation I will recommend Petro to friends and family throughout the Philly area. Peter A. Elkins Park"

"Carlos was great, he explained everything in terms I could understand! I had to have another company come out last year because A/C went out, they were ok. I will always come back to McCrea! McCrea has been the company that my family has been with for at least 30 years!"
