Blake Brothers
Blake Brothers
We've had the privilege of servicing North Alabama's plumbing, heating, cooling & electrical needs since 1884. Over 138 years of serving residential and commercial customers in Huntsville, AL, you can always be confident turning to Blake Brothers for your plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning services.
"We pay about $19 a month to be part of the Blake Brothers "membership" service program which entitles us to 1 free plumbing and 1 free A/C inspection yearly. The free inspection of our 3-Ton main house A/C unit was done at the end of May 2025 and the tech identified one failing capacitor out of three total. He stated the replacement cost (with membership discount) at $450.00. I declined. Checking the suspected capacitor, it did indeed need replacement. BUT the cost of an exact replacement capacitor from Amazon was less than $13.00 total and it took me less than 30 minutes to exchange it. $450 to replace a $13 capacitor is a RIP-OFF and taking advantage of a customer. Thus, the 1-star review. -JK"
