Not only were they the most competitive quote to replace our water heaters and redo some under sink plumbing, but they went above and beyond with their work (finding gas leaks, obtaining a special tool and coming back to fix the remaining leaks). I also had them jet clean our sewer and they did a fantastic job with that too - finding a broken pipe under the street and setting up a city inspection.

Jan answers your calls and emails, explains what he is doing and why, and takes pride in this work. I feel really lucky to have found Vanguard.

Do not hesitate to give them a call! New vs old water heaters pictured. Fast, friendly and very knowledgeable.

We needed a ne water boiler and they ordered a new one and installed it quickly and efficiently. Would hire again! Called them for a faucet replacement.

Great interaction and excellant work. Quote was very accurate (only went higher due to parts for additional repairs that were necessary).

I cannot recommend Vanguard Plumbing enough for their exceptional service. Jan and George were incredibly professional and knowledgeable, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Our ejector pump was malfunctioning, causing a major inconvenience. Vanguard Plumbing responded promptly to our call and assessed the situation thoroughly.

They explained the issue in detail and provided a clear estimate of the work needed. During the repair, George worked efficiently and effectively, ensuring that everything was done to the highest standard.

They were respectful of our home, keeping the work area clean and tidy throughout. Thanks to Vanguard Plumbing, we have a new ejector pump that is now working perfectly.

I'm impressed by their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction. If you're in need of plumbing services, look no further than Vanguard Plumbing.

I've been a customer of Vanguard for over a decade and I honestly wouldn't trust the work to anyone else. I've had a bunch of work done ranging from a leaky faucet to an double sump pump with battery backup installation and it's all been spot on.

Easily the best trades/service outfit we've had in our homes. So much so that I asked Jan for guidance when I needed help with a non-plumbing issue and he was an expert at that too.

Jan is extremely knowledgeable, efficient and very fair. He asks you to send photos and a brief back and forth text, then sends the proposal which covers the scope of work.

He fixed our leaky sink and toilet and charged us just for the time spent and materials. He's wonderful to work with and a fair businessman.

I moved into a duplex with a badly designed basement. The sump basin is too shallow, lots of debris flows into it, and the access closet is narrow with an ejector pump in front of the sump pump.

These professionals make it work anyway, are responsive and communicative, and keep my basement dry. We have used Vanguard over the past five years for our plumbing related needs.

Each job has been a professional experience with fair prices and overall quality work. Will continue to use Vanguard for our plumbing needs.

I got quotes from several places which were significantly cheaper but I will say Jan and his team were worth the price. No one had any idea how to fix my model of toilet (we had an issue with constant water running, and the tank was built into the wall, European style), but Jan looked and knew immediately what was wrong.

Within a few hours everything was back to running perfectly. He even found a weakened water line which saved us paying tons of expenses in damages should it have leaked.

We would definitely reach out again in the future, they were very professional, communicated clearly and upfront, and did an outstanding job. I was very pleased with the work that Vanguard did in my condo and will certainly call them again for any needed work.

Jan worked with me to get the COI our property management company requires and to schedule the work when I wanted it done. George was on-time and went right to work.

He fixed my dripping shower faucet (and the faucet handle that kept falling off), installed a new shower head (been meaning to do that) and restored the hot water pressure for my bathroom sink faucet. Any sort of work that requires a water shutoff for our multi-unit building always worries me--it can (and often does) result in sediment clogging feed lines (and pipes!).

Realizing that I was very concerned about the water shutoff, George was very reassuring. He told how he was going to proceed and went through each step of the shut down and water restoration with me, explaining as he went.

Absolutely beautiful! I spoke with Jan and was able to get an accurate estimate after sending him pictures of my ejection pump layout which was not working. He was able to come over the next morning and completed the job in three hours.

He was very efficient, professional, hard working and did an excellent job of reconnecting everything and included some improvements in the setup. Jan uses top quality products and his cost is competitive for high quality plumbers.

Before he left he explained the operation of the ejection pump, booster pump and other plumbing in our condo. Very satisfied with Jan and Vanguard.

The pipes in our basement were poorly installed and led to a sump pump that was past its prime. Vanguard plumber George redid the pipes and replaced the pump with a new one.

We are very happy with the results. Jan (Yan) was great! I called just after 5pm with some major kitchen sink pipe leakage earlier in the week (Monday).

He walked me through what he needed from me (pictures and information, etc.) and contact me close to first thing in the morning (Tuesday) to let me know he could come the following day (Wednesday). Well, he had an opening come up in the afternoon the same day he called me (Tuesday) and wound up coming the day after my leaks started (Tuesday afternoon).

He was kind, professional, and explained things to me in basic terms. He wound up having to cut a pipe and replace it, but had everything done in 1.5 hours.

I highly recommend using Jan and his company. He also explained other work I would need to have done soon under my sink, but did not pressure me to do it then as he knows it would take time to coordinate with my building to shut the water off.

Thank You, Jan for the great service! The bathtub faucets in my bathroom were broken around two months ago, and then I called Vanguard Plumbing and Sewer again to help me to fix it. Jan helped me to set up this project immediately, get a new faucet,Read less

Review and analyze now for company Oasis Heating & Cooling and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''Had boiler serviced, a gas valve replaced and jets cleaned - also had them replace a steam radiator valve. All repairs went off without a hitch, the team was professional, clean, and courteous, and the price was reasonable Oasis is great! My furnace is almost 30 years old and for a reasonable price they were able to do the repairs.

First Danny came to evaluate. He showed me what was wrong.

They had to order the necessary parts to fix it. Today Hani and Fernando came to do the repair.

They were efficient and courteous. I will definitely use Oasis in the future.

When I turned on the air conditioner for the first time this season, it was making an awful lot of noise... a kind of rattling sound that certainly shouldn't be the noise you hear from your central air.

I also really need the AC to be working properly, because even though I usually just deal with the heat or turn on a fan in the summer it gets VERY hot up on the third floor of my townhome (where the bedrooms are), and to ensure safety for my soon-to-be July infant that won't be able to regulate their temperature. I called Oasis (and apparently we've called them in the past) and they came out within a couple of days.

We learned that the AC unit was from 1997--the year this place was built! So it was in desperate need of replacement. To get it taken care of in one fell swoop, we chose to replace the AC unit (including condenser), furnace, and humidifier.

This particular unit is for the third and fourth floors, so you know where I'm going--it's a rooftop unit. Had they needed to use a crane it would have cost another several hundred dollars easily, but thankfully since there's an egress stairway from the roof deck they were able to bring everything up that way and we didn't incur the additional cost.

The guys were efficient and competent. They got here a bit after 7 am and were finished by 1 or 1:30 in the afternoon.

They made sure that we understood how everything works, and they also corrected some weird pipework that was installed before we moved in that blocked the furnace filter area. The work was quieter than I expected it to be, which was a bonus since I was working from home that day.

We had a quote before the guys left from the diagnosing-the-issue appointment. Although it was expensive, all the work was necessary and I have confidence it was very well done.

They charge a $165 fee to diagnose your issue, but if you chooses to continue the work with them they will apply that to the cost of your work. I need to have some duct cleaning work completed and I'll be checking to see if they do that as well.

I was very pleased with the work and the professionalism of the guys who completed it, so unless things go sideways or we move out of their service area, I plan to use Oasis for heating and furnace issues moving forward. I'm not sure what the quality of the work would have been, as they worked really hard to make it impossible to get hired.

. Weird, I know.

When I first connected with the scheduler, she advised me that the initial visit costs $165, and if there is a second visit and/or parts needed, this amount would be deducted from the final charge. Ok, makes perfect sense.

What doesn't make sense is that the business never provided a proper itemized estimate. All I could get from them was "Remove existing motor, replace with new motor".

No parts listed, no labor cost breakdown... We went back and forth three times, but the business was never able to provide an actual estimate in a way that is not only commonly accepted, but also allows a customer to decide whether the estimate is competitive or not.

When I finally connected over the phone with someone who claimed to be the owner, he told me that he's too busy to provide estimates to his customers. And he added the usual bullsh*t too - "those parts are so expensive, I don't know why 'they' gave you such a low estimate", "I have 19,000 customers", "we are an honest business"...

Makes you wonder what is that he doesn't want you to see. Does he charge 500% markup on parts? Does he charge 6 hours of labor where 2 would be the industry average for this job? Who knows? The owner certainly doesn't want you to.

10 minutes on Google reveal that the part costs a little over $100. He asked for nearly $900.

Now I know why he's so intentionally vague. Excellent Company, Great Service.

I had a central AC unit crap out the night before a heat wave. I called at 10:30 at night - they answer the phone 24 hours - and chose not to have emergency service but Mike called me at 7:04 in the morning to schedule a time THAT SAME DAY to repair my unit.

He came out at 9:30 am, diagnosed it right away, and brought the right part with him "because it's usually this part" to make a fast repair. Fast, simple, done.

Plus Mike is about the nicest guy you can meet when you are stressed out about the potential of an unforeseen major repair. Just prior to the heat dome starting, my air conditioner gave out.

Oasis was able to send someone out the day after I called them. I could tell they were really busy.

They called me the morning of to let me know they had a lot of appointments that day and they would be arriving a few hours late. They texted me when they were on the way and fixed the problem within 20 minutes.

The guys they sent were polite, professional, and even found an issue with the other air conditioner that would have caused flooding if left uncorrected. I was nervous because I've been told so many things about my air conditioner needs to be replaced and it would cost thousands of dollars but Oasis said that that was unnecessary and that just the capacitor needed to be fixed.

I appreciated the honesty and professionalism. There was a number of equipment that started to give in after hitting the five (5) year mark.

Some systems might well pass due for their maintenance schedules and I failed to think about them sometimes. Our basement furnace was one of the machines that just didn't sound quite right.

I contacted "Oasis Heating and Cooling" due their consistent high rating on Yelp and hoped to get a solution to the problem I was encoutering. Scheduling was professionally done.

Requests could be sent via emails and the office was prompt to respond with their availabilities. When it came to the appointment time, the folks arrived at a reasonable time frame and were ready to work.

When one of the technicians recommended us to get a new furnace, I understood it could seem like he was trying to up-sell me something that I didn't need. However, when he also laid out the estimate to just replace the motor of the furnace, for me it was better to have a new furnace that would render stable heat and possibly could help reduce the gas bill altogether.

Since I chose to have the furnace replaced, the maintenance fee was waived after I approved the estimate. By the way, the estimate was itemized and I was able to view it in the email.

I liked it how transparent it was. It detailed the warranty on parts and labor, which I was ok with the perks that came with and thought the cost was competitive in comparison to what other companies in town offered.

The system, since the installation, has been running pretty smoothly. It no longer made the unsettling noise that I used to hear every time I turned the heat on.

That gave me a peace of mind. Nowadays we spent way more time in the house because of the pandemic and my infant son, anything that contributed to the house could be money worth spending in my opinion.

I would consult "Oasis Heating and Cooling" again for other potential maintenance projects that would be needed in the house for the spring/summer seasons. Every individual I came across was presentable and professional.

My water heater gas valve needed replacement. Daniel from Oasis Heating and Cooling was the mechanic that did the job.

He was on time, communicative, explained what needed to be done and after the part arrived in the warehouse he came back to do an excellent job. I will use them again.

Call them with confidence. They are great.

I have had very good experiences with Mike and his team over the years at Oasis HVAC. A few years ago when we first moved into the house, another HVAC company provided maintenance to the system while disconnecting the overflow drain switch on the AC coil pan.

Therefore the unit ran for days and flooded our downstairs DEN. Oasis saved the day, reinstalling the switch and fixing the system.

Now our old system is 19 years old and makes no sense to pay $1,000 to fix it so yesterday we decided to replace it. Mike came out to look at the old central air and heating furnace unit which is in the upstairs of our bungalow.

Seated horizontally, it was going to take a lot of work to get the old unit out and the new unit in. We selected the American Standard (highest rated in the industry a.k.a.

Trane) 80K BTU 2 stage furnace/central air and an American Standard 3.5 ton 13 seer A/C unit outside. The team of 5 guys came out to install it just 4 days after signing the contract promptly at 7:00am and completed the entire job at 2:30pm.

They had originally thought it would take a day and a half. I also elected the annual maintenance which they come out 2 times per year and will also cover labor, along with manufacturer's hardware warranty for 10 years.

The units are EXTREMELY quiet, you cannot even hear them run. Especially being outside and entertaining the patio.

My electric bills are also expected to decrease significantly. The 19 year old previous system originally purchased from Sears was costing an additional $400/month just to run in the summer to to mention the old freon was $220.00 per pound.

I am VERY satisfied with Oasis HVAC, quality product, quality service, attention to detail, professional and courteous. They also don't change extra for after hours emergency maintenance and have been easy to reach in the time of need and arrive at the house in 1-2 hours after creating an appointment.

Oasis HVAC comes highly recommended from a highly satisfied customer. I called with an AC leak on a Sunday and received a call back within the hour.

Oasis was able to schedule a service call for the following morning in order to diagnose the problem and then they completed the work the following day. While its no fun to have to buy new equipment but I am grateful for how quickly they were able to resolve my issue.

They were professional and courteous and really easy to work with. I contacted Oasis for a quote for a new furnace as my old one was acting up.

Mike came out that same afternoon to assess the situation. We planned get the job done in the next week, but a day later the furnace totally broke.

Mike was able to move up our appointment a few days, and personally came back to try to get the old furnace running before we could put in the new one. On the day of the installation, the team was prompt, clean, and kind.

The job was done in a very efficient manner. Thank you, Mike and the Oasis team! This is just an absolutely fantastic company we've been using them for a really long time the owner Mike great and has really created a wonderful company that is so responsive and so great.

They help my mom constantly with a tough A/C situation. Now that I'm in my own condo my heat went out in the middle of this cold .

They came out within a couple hours and more able to figure out it was a problem with Wiring from the nest to the system which I had had suspicions there was something wrong with the nest for a while. Promptly fixed and now system is working great .

Could not say enough about this whole company, highly recommended!!! I was very impressed by the entire experience with Oasis and especially with our technician Naem. He was very professional and clearly very skilled with HVAC systems.

He took the time to help me understand the different components he was checking and provided really valuable recommendations on service for our system. Great job and I'd highly recommend! After maybe a year or more of our furnaces clicking and our previous service provider not be able to diagnose the cause we called Oasis and so happy we did.

They came out and ordered the part we needed for both furnaces. No more clicking! We are now using them for our bi annual furnace services .

This long overdue: Replaced 2 AC's, thermostats, and did it insanely quickly. When I messed up the thermostats-they came right out.

(Sat/Sun/etc) Any-they guarantee their work. Prices are fair and worth it all day long.

I write mortgages for a living. Have been doing it for 25 years--and these guys blow any contractor HVAC or otherwise out of the water.

I cannot recommend Oasis Heating & Cooling enough. My heater wouldn't turn on during one of the cold spells he had this winter.

I called them, well knowing that it might take them a couple of days to come by. The operator was so kind and made it happen by the end of the day.

I appreciated her ability to sympathize with me (we had a crying baby in the background) and she called all the employees to see if there were any openings. I appreciated her so much for that! Once we got someone out (that same day) they ordered the part within hours and were ready to come back the next day.

However, the problem turned out to be a huge People's Gas problem in the community and we had to cancel the order. The owner made sure to keep in contact with us to make sure the issue was resolved with People's Gas and that our heating and cooling system was working.

I appreciate them for their promptness, their empathy for a young family (who wants baby to be cold?), and for checking in. We will continue to be costumers.

Pro-Tip: join the Oasis Club- for $20 a month they come out twice a year to check your system and winterize it/ set it up for summer. You also get 20% off with any service.

Ours was a big job. We needed a rooftop unit replaced so picture a crane moving huge units up and down past your front window.

I appreciate Mike coming to double check dimensions the week before to ensure a smooth install. Hani, Danny, and team just installed everything and were great.

Timely, communicative, nice to my dog. Highly recommend Oasis.

I highly recommend Oasis. They probably are the best Heating and Air company in the city!! They did a great job installing a new Air Conditioning System! We called Oasis for our semi annual service and they were fantastic.

Responsive and quick, we scheduled a few days out and the techs were there to the minute. Did a great job and fixed a small leak as well.

Highly recommend recommend! Excellent experience from the beginning to the end I will recommend this business Dany and his team !!!! THE BEST!!!! After two weeks, $400 (to another company) and multiple misdiagnosis we have a brand new furnace. Did I want to spend $3,800 on a new furnace one week before Christmas? No, but I felt confident in doing so with Oasis.

After calling on Sunday afternoon (someone called me back within a couple of hours) I was set up for a Wednesday afternoon appt. Oasis is so slammed because of the frigid temps that the owner Mike took my appt.

He showed up on time and was professional throughout. Long story short, someone from the office delivered a part we needed.

It was determine that wasn't the issue. Mike worked diligently to determine the problem.

It ended up being much much bigger like a new furnace. I was told this at 4pm Wednesday night.

It is now noon on Thursday and my new furnace has been expertly installed. I can't say enough good about Mike, his crew and Oasis!!! Update! New service 2020! Mike and his team have done it again!!!! I had a great experience with Oasis back in December 2014 when our furnace (in a previous home) decided to die in the middle of a record cold snap.

Mike was the. Only.

HVAC contractor to call me back!! Fast forward six years. Our ac ( new home) was not pulling its weight Tuesday.

At 4:30 am I used the HomeMend app to request a service appt. I selected the 10 am slot.

At 6:30 am Mike called and asked if he could stop by then as it was a busy day. Of course I said yes!!!!! After a thorough investigation of the issue it was determined that the 23 year old AC needed to be replaced.

Mike offered the 7 am spot on Thursday. Right on time (just as they were in 2014) The Oasis crew of 4 specialists showed up before the 7 am scheduled time! Each of them were polite, knowledgeable, professional and very conscientious of the current covid 19 health concern.

Our AC is pumping on this 95 degree evening! Thank you again Mike and crew for being The Best in the industry!! THE ABSOLUTE BEST! In the 5 years I have lived at my residence, I have worked with Oasis and have always received highly satisfactory service consistently each time. They are lightning fast.

Even during high season, they were able to get someone out at 7am in the morning the next day. And the most recent visit, Mike came out in less than an hour.

I mean, where else can you get that type of service? They are highly knowledgeable, which makes you feel more confident. And they are highly effective in remedying the issue straight to the source.

Their customer service is top notch. I don't think anyone can come close.

Super satisfied with their services and I would recommend you don't waste your time with anyone else. Had a great experience with Oasis across all dimensions - price, service, timing, and expertise.

We are in a new construction condo and have had issues with the developer's own handiwork so wanted to use an independent HVAC company to fix some issues around our smart thermostat and humidifier. The tech, Danny, did an excellent job in diagnosing and fixing our issues.

He showed up on time, followed all recommended protocols for COVID, and was extremely detail oriented in examining and diagnosing what was wrong. He found a few different issues with the furnace installation and set up (beyond what we were aware of) and explained to us in detail all of the items he was fixing and the root cause of the problems we had called about.

Everything was addressed within ~30 minutes and there were no additional parts required so we were only charged what was initially quoted to us for the diagnostic visit. On pricing for Oasis - we didn't go with the cheapest option we found because we wanted to make sure it was done right the first time but Oasis was definitely much more competitive than some of the quotes we received.

Given how easy it was to schedule, the fair pricing combined with high quality service, and the knowledgeable tech, we will definitely use Oasis again for future HVAC needs and routine check-ups. I've used oasis heating and cooling exclusively since I bought my condo.

I had in issue with what I thought was my nest thermostat, but Demir determined it was an issue with my furnace sensor and motor. I was so relieved because my house wouldn't get above 65Read less
