"Danny treated me like an old friend with helpful and timely service. It was refreshing. He inspected the unit, found a failed capacitor caused by an add-on Michael and Sons installed last inspection. Danny replaced the failed part, removed the add-on, and I was back in business in less than 30 minutes. I have a new HVAC provider!"

"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"

"Not always as responsive as I'd have liked beforehand, had a discussion with them about it. Install went well despite a cure ball I gave them the morning of the installation."

"We had them Replaced furnace and air conditioning unit. It was installed about a year ago but they came out for a regular service about a month ago. the service was free, part of the contract. I have no complaints, it was all good. They were responsive. they were punctual. I have no problems, it was a good deal when I bought it, it's a good deal now. I don't have any issues with how the service went. i bought it through them and I have no regrets and everything was the same as I felt when I bought it. It was a good deal, I made the right choice. Anytime you buy a major system and it doesn't go right you have a problem. I'm a happy camper.1 worker took less than an hour to complete."

"We are really impressed with Beacon’s overall delivery of services. Quick response, timely and helpful customer service, good professionalism from the technicians. You know exactly what you’re going to get - skilled craftsmen who are on time, articulate the job well and get the work done correctly. While the service is a bit pricy and I would really like to see estimates presented with a by line item breakdown in the estimate, I understand those concerns are mitigated by the quality of craftsmanship and the excellent warranty period on installation/labor. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with our electricians and plumber when we had the dubious honor of needing an electrical panel and water heater replaced over the course of a weekend. Beacon is awesome. 12/10 recommend."

"I got quotes from a few different contractors. Carroll Mechanical’s was very competitive. It was the best value so I decided to go with them. The installers were prompt and did a fantastic job. The new system works great and they walked me through everything before they left. I have an ongoing maintenance so I know they will continue taking care of the new unit and making sure it works well. Overall, very happy with my choice."
