"Sila was one of three companies I contacted for estimates on replacing my oil-fired systems with heat pumps. I have a boiler and two forced air furnaces, so the work would be extensive. I contacted Sila because their reviews were favorable, they sell Carrier products (which I was leaning toward), and they sell high velocity systems, which I felt might be a good option in the older part of the house where I don't have ducts. I was prepared to really go over the things that work well with ducts in the house, things that don't, and what my general asks were for the systems. The salesman was pleasant enough, but seemed completely uninterested in how I felt my current systems were and what my goals were. I asked for a price on two levels of Carrier (Performance and Inifinity) for the existing forced air systems, and then price me out for a reasonable high velocity system. The sales person who came out was pretty perfunctory and didn't take good notes while we spoke. I didn't think he was really that engaged in my concerns about the routing of high velocity ducting and placement--he just told me how it would have to be. While sometimes that's how things work, I don't think he really addressed my concerns with having all outlets in the ceiling only in the lower level, which would potentially leave me with lots of heat hanging around the ceiling. However, the larger issues were that the bids did not match the requirements for the project. First, he sent only the high velocity bid and nothing for the other systems. When i asked, he sent the other estimate, but only for the Carrier Infinity, omitting that I specifically asked for a bid on doing those systems with a Performance line that would allow me to use my existing non-communicating thermostats. In addition, their bid was the most expensive and their attention to detail seemed poor for a $40,000+ job. Spending less than an hour with me and sending lackluster boilerplate bids (with all kinds of language that should not have been in the bid, like references to other brands, etc.). A bid should be custom for the buyer and tailored for match what I'm asking for. This lack of attention to detail and customer focus lost Sila this job."

I own a house in Federal Hill that is currently tenant occupied.  The tenants alerted me that there was a gas smell in the kitchen, I called BGE and they came out, turned off gas, and BGE found two spots leaking gas, in the basement, which is under the kitchen.  They asked me to have a plumber check out, asap.  I went on Angie's list and received a call back from the owner of this company within 5 minutes ( it was around 8am on a weekday morning).  He was responsive, informative and really cared. He was at the property very quickly and found a leak at the piping for the hot water heater and also inspected the boiler, in which he said that it was time to get it replaced, and it was leaking gas, it was really old. He showed the tenants where the gas was coming from..He cemented the piping to the wall for the hot water heater.  He spent way over an hour with the tenants and another 45 minutes of the phone with me.  He also inspected the range and said he thought there might be a leak from the cable (which he was right), BGE did not pick up on that one.  He is very knowledgeable.  The range really needed to be replaced, it was old, and I ordered a new cable/range, when Best Buy delivered, they said they could not install, so I then called the owner of this company again, he was at an emergency repair, and he came by at 9:30 that night, after working another emergency repair all day, which was a sewer line, and installed the new range for the tenants. He had to then take apart the old range and haul it away because it would not fit thru the door.  I can not say enough how responsive and nice he is.  He really spent time making sure I understood everything, he is also a gas fitter, so he explained all that to me.  His costs are very very reasonable, I will recommend him to everyone I know.  I also called him about what kind of cable I needed for the new range when I was ordering it, and he spent more time going over exactly what I needed to order and what material was best. I called him again for advise when I was interviewing HVAC contractors.

"Called James on short notice for a potential pipe leak. The tenants noticed mold on the ceiling. James came by and found it was caused by pin size holes. He replaced the pipe and additionally replaced a facet (at the tenant?s request). He was very nice on the phone and professional. James was very good spirited about the whole situation and also gave me an accurate cost
of the facet. He got everything done quickly and made time in his schedule to turn an evaluation into a full repair with additions.

"Keon did an excellent job replacing two old screw valves with ball valves and an external frost free spigot. Great work even soldering the copper pipe."

"EXCELLENT MASTER PLUMBER!!! Robert replaced my 23 year-old water heater earlier this month (12/01/17). I wasn't experiencing any problems with the water heater other than the facts that it was old, inefficient, and I was on "borrowed time" as far as the life expectancy for water heaters go. After completing a request on Home Advisor, Robert contacted me. I told him what I needed to replace, he gave me an estimate and we scheduled a date for the work to be completed. Robert was prompt. efficient, respectful and personable. He has a good sense of humor, too. The price he quoted/charged was fair and reasonable. I am more than satisfied with his work. As other customers have indicated, Robert is a very knowledgeable and experienced Master Plumber. (His registrations/certifications/licenses are current and compliant.) After he replaced my hot water heater, I asked him to check a water leak that I discovered in my basement. He investigated the leak and confirmed that the source of the leak was a pipe in my home fire sprinkler system (installed in 1992 when the house was built.) My next questions were, "Can you repair it? And if so, when?" Robert advised me on what would be required to make the repair and he gave me a very fair estimate for the cost for materials and labor. Two days ago he came out and repaired the leak in my home fire sprinkler system. Again, he and his apprentice/helper were very professional, efficient, respectful, personable and on point with doing the job properly. The location of the leak in the copper pipe was not in an easy-to-get-to spot; however, Robert was able to adjust, adapt and get the job done. He's a true professional. I will definitely use R.W. Burton's services again whenever I need a plumber. Great plumbers are hard to find. Robert is a great and exceptional plumber! He's a keeper!"

"My only complaint is how expensive plumbers are...But that's just the nature of the beast. They were very professional, contacted me right away and were able to come out that afternoon to fix my leak. Thanks!"
