"I realize this is a long review. I’m not usually one to leave a review (good or bad), but this company absolutely disgusted me. Here’s why. I will never again use or recommend this company. I was caught in the “1,000 year flood” that knocked out my furnace control circuit board. I knew this, and was on the phone 9:30AM SUNDAY (8/10/25) morning explaining that’s the ONLY part I need. Was assured that a tech would get to me that day. I called all day every couple hours and there was zero movement. Come to find out the call service they use can’t see the cases and notes that the main office enters. Big blunder there. My last call was around 8:30PM. The person on the phone tells me that my appointment EXPIRED?!? Now I’m mad. I asked for the manager to call me back because this is unacceptable. They tell me I’ll hear from her within 48 hours. Called Monday morning (8/11/25), gave all the details from Sunday. The main office can see the notes and all my calls. Told them the exact part I need and they again told me someone will get to me as techs are out until 10PM. I still called back every 3 hours or so looking for updates. No one could give them to me. They keep telling me my “standing” in line is valid for an “emergency service”. Called every few hours with no movement. The tech actually called me personally later that night and asked if he can come now, that would have been a $199 “emergency service call” since it was after hours. I asked if he even had the part on the truck, and he didn’t. So why would he even want to come? I denied that service call while he confirmed with his boss and the distributor that they had a board in stock and put it on Will Call for me, and the tech will be there in the morning to install it (Tuesday 8/12/25). Tuesday morning comes, and my power goes out at 8:44AM per the WE Energies text message I got. The tech calls me shortly after and says he will be going to pick up the board and be to my house. I told him about the power and he said there wouldn’t be much use to come with no power. Makes sense. I told him I’ll call the main office the second it comes back on. I got the text of power restored at 3:34PM. I was on the phone with Mr Hollands at 3:35PM. After all this…they tell me the soonest a tech can get to me is THURSDAY EVENING. What. The. ****. They told me I was on the waitlist for cancellations and I could slot in earlier if possible. I asked if the person on the phone with me (Gabriel) to call me the next morning (Wednesday 8/13/25) with some sort of status. He assured me he would call me by 9AM. He didn’t. I called the office AGAIN at 9AM Wednesday morning. At this point I still haven’t heard from the customer relations manager (Danielle). Turns out she’s off on Wednesdays. I spoke to another sales person that actually got me moved from Thursday evening to Thursday morning. They FINALLY get to my house Thursday morning, replace the board and everything works. Since it was sewer water that knocked out the board I wanted to be sure the inside of the unit was clean. I asked what I had to do to get inside the unit and he showed me, but also said that if I were to do it I would “void the warranty” and it would be $199 for him to do it. Since Mr Hollands installed the system literally LAST YEAR (July 2024) I accepted that keeping the warranty was probably for the best. BUT. Now that I paid $199 for Mr Hollands to clean the inside, I literally watched the tech remove 6 screws then use MY shopvac, MY bleach, MY rags….why did I pay $200 for that?!? As of writing this, 8/21/25. I still have not heard from this Danielle person. 8 business days later, when I was assured I would hear back in 48 hours. I am EXTREMELY disgusted at the way I was treated, lied to, and hung up on by this company. Never again will I be calling them. I advise you to do the same."

"I have been using this company for several years and can not say enough great things about them. They are great people to work with from scheduling your appts to each and every member of there crew that has come to my home. Andy has done a great job employing the kindest and pleasant individuals. I have used them for start up and shut down of my sprinkler systems fixing a few minor things along the way but most recently I had a situation in which the main piping underground was cracked due to heavy landscaping equipment/supplies. This situation really gave me an opportunity to put there crew and there company to the test and they exceeded my expectations when it mattered the most. They came out immediately, the crew worked at it diligently and did not leave until it was completed with my system up and running. The guys patiently explained the process, they knew exactly how to do their job and allowed me to see the damage and the replacement. So refreshing to deal with a company like this. So honest, reliable and all around great people. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Brigid B Hartland WI"
