"Installer Eric showed up on time.  Took the time to explain how the system worked and what we could expect.  Consulted with us on the placement of the system and manner of installation. Completed installation in about two hours.  Provided a complete explanation of the systems controls and warranty,  when to add salt, when to flush out salt tank, what to do after a power outage and when system service would be needed again.  Eric did an excellent job and we are very pleased with the results.  Water no longer smells and the water from the tap tastes fine.

"Mr. Rhodes wore a mask and was professional and knowledgeable. He gave me options for repairs and promptly proceeded without judgement, regarding my needing the least expensive repair. He also found the source of a slight sewage odor and capped off the drain pipe by the washer water valves, without additional charge. I would recommend Mr. Rhodes to anyone."

"I have an Applliance Maintenance Agreement with Service America. My Disposal began leaking from its' base. I called for a repair service. Unfortunately,I had to wait a week for the service appointment. My appointment was on 8/14/15, between 8am-1pm. At 8am,  Anthony arrived. He inspected my unit, explained that it was rusted out, and said he had brought a replacement unit. As you can imagine, the installation under the sink is far from easy.He was so knowledgable and professional that he almost made it look easy, which it was not.The work went flawlessly, and was completed by 9am. I could not have been more impressed.

  Travis arrived at 10 AM, was finished by 5 PM, worked alone, very efficient, professional and very agreeable. He had twenty minutes of help from Allen (Tech) and then did the total installation by himself.  I watched and learned a few things.  Whoever works in my home always has my attention.  I made sure he was safe while on ladder or while cutting stuff.  He was very competent. 

  I had a significant upset with the invoice that indicated  (in hand printing) "nonrefundable deposit", but I was not aware of it when I signed the invoice.  I wanted to cancel the job 12 hours after I signed the invoice and had already issued a big check to Amtek..  I was so upset.  I suggested a SOP modification;  to have the customer initial that hideous phrase "nonrefundable deposit".  You don't have big service done to your automobile without initialing approval at dealerships.  I have learned a hard lesson.  I trusted the Tech, Allen who had come to my home before. He is a very intelligent Tech, polite and very helpful.  I believe he is very trustworthy.  It is the business end that needs attention. 

   I have never done a big job at my homes with only one business estimate.  I allowed Amtek to do my job because I trusted Allen a lot, but I was not cognitively aware of that hideous phrase.  Customers need to be aware.  If I ever see that phrase again by ANY COMPANY, I will not do business with them unless I have already gotten two other estimate proposals.

   So, in summary: I believe the cost was too high.  Perhaps I am wrong.  I would have the evidence of my suspicion if I had gotten a couple other estimates for this A/C replacement.  Guess I put the cart before the horse---DUMB

    I emailed Amtek thru Angie's List and through their company web site. I believe the President was aware of my concerns.  It was very kind of Allen to re-explain the upsetting invoice. His boss allowed Allen to reduce the bill by $500 and to extend my maintenance agreement.  That particular effort reduced the stress I was dealing with. On Friday, I signed that invoice.  Monday (48 hours after that invoice)  was the install, I was sort of stuck, didn't want to lose my "nonrefundable deposit".  Travis has renewed my faith in my decision making...............what a lesson I have learned.  I appreciate all the info from Angie's List.  I was not a stupid consumer;  a little foolish through.  Well, you learn something every day.....however, .........doesn't always have to be hard way.

I write truthfully and do no wish to offend anyone.  I really believe with all my current stress factors (sister with metastatic cancer, being a new resident of Florida now for only 1 1/2 years, remodeling this home so my sister will NEVER be in a Nursing Home doing all the Maintenance here by myself, losing my beloved husband in 2012, losing my cocker spaniel in 2014....I am pretty beat up.  I do not need any more stress; actually, nobody does. Right?

  Thank you Angie's List for all your assistance on all my home projects over the years.  Thank you.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Lake Placid, FL

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
