Review and analyze now for company Russell Heating & Cooling and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''Called for an estimate for hot water tank replacement with a power vent. Owner of the company shows up, barges in, I take him downstairs to show him the unit be replaced.

Gives a quick overview on what needs to be done, says it's going to cost $2800, original quote over the phone was $3600. Tells me to get a garden hose and run it through the basement window to drain the tank, then says to me he's going to the shop to get a new tank.

I politely asked if he wouldn't mind just providing a written quote. Guy loses his mind, starts ranting and raving about about that's the best price your gonna get, my work is quality, just ask your neighbor 20 doors away.

Proceeds to storm out of the house saying how busy he is at he rest of the day. Poor sob is so unprofessional it's hard to believe he's owns a plumbing outfit.

Complete fuckin baby. Definitely don't waste your time even calling this bitch.

Pretty honest guy. Came to my home and fixed my hvac system and didn't try to upsell me.

Since I had a positive experience with Jay, I figured I would throw him my business again. I wanted to expand my current heat ducting into my basement.

He told me "he may have bigger fish to fry." I was kind of blow back by his response. He made an appointment for 2 weeks and never called and never showed.

Seems to be a trend around here of contractors that are not reliable. I took off of work and was stood up.

You only screw me over once. I won't be using him again for myself or any of my properties.

Came by when we needed him for heating emergencies. Totally blew us off for other work, even after we went out and bought the parts he recommended, and scheduled a time for the work to be done.

Per a neighbor, that is the consensus in the neighborhood. We highly recommend Russell Heating & Cooling.

He has replaced our water heater and also our sump pump. The water heater now has a reservoir and drain to the sump, so it will never be a problem again.

He's professional, a pleasure to work with and leaves a clean work site. The only thing he leaves behind is a fair and reasonable bill.

He'll be my next call for any heating or cooling needs. I called this guy when my AC went out last week.

Rudest most unprofessional guy I've ever dealt with. He hung up the phone the first time I called saying he's with someone.

When he finally called back, I explained what was going on. Asked when the last time I had the AC on since he can't make any money if he comes out if the "compressor is hot".

Then he says I don't need the money anyway, been at this since 1980, etc. (my wife was beside herself) Says I will get hold of you later, hangs up the phone.

I ended up with someone else. Fixed in 15 min, where he didn't go near the compressor.

This guy needs to be avoided at all costs. Mr.

Russell came quickly when my inducer motor failed. He gave me a fair price and did the work professionally.

I have hade no problems since. I would definitely recommend his company for any hvac problems.'''.Read less

Review and analyze now for company Jack Hall Plumbing & Heating and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''My furnace & AC needed replacing at the start of cooling season - Devin and Danielle were incredible with helping me get the right system for my needs and being super patient and helpful with me throughout the quote, contract and scheduling process. Dane and the other technicians were highly skilled and efficient setting up a whole new furnace & AC system.

They paid attention to every detail from labeling the electric panel to showing me how to change the air filter and shut down the system after completing their work. Again, they were super patient with answering all my questions before they left! This was my third install experience with Jack Hall Plumbing & Heating in the last 5 years.

First was a tankless hot water heater installation shortly after I bought my home, then a whole home water filter within the last year. In addition to these 3 new installations they also moved a refrigerator water line when I replaced my refrigerator and have made routine maintenance visits to service the plumbing, heating and AC in the time we have been doing business together.

Every experience I have had from the simple routine maintenance to great big projects has been top notch service, fair pricing, and a great value for high quality work. The team at Jack Hall is the best in the area.

Thank you!! I can not speak highly enough about my experience with this company and it's skilled estimator Scott. I asked Scott for an estimate on a cleaning of my mothers 30 year old boiler in her basement...when speaking to me Scott informed me that my mother might be eligible for the Empower New York.

A couple weeks later the knowledgeable technicians Josh and Tyler shower up like superheroes and installed everything in a few days. Kaitlyn was in constant communication with me an hour away as to how best serve my elderly mother with install times.

Program...he guided me through the application process...my mother received a new hot water heater-refrigerator, 14" attic insulation and a brand new boiler at no charge to her! $18k in work and materials!! What an amazing experience. It was like winning the lottery.

Scott will guide all through the process. Cost, competence, skill, honesty ...on more than one occasion Jack hall plumbers (Jason) gave estimates of over a $1000 that was eventually repaired by other plumbers for less than $200 (ken Roberts plumbing)....Do not use Jack Hall plumbers! I believe in preventative maintenance so I had the hot water tank flushed this morning.

Jack Hall has a great deal right now. I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and in my preferred time frame.

Dylan returned, cleaned the tank, gave me more knowledge about tanks and what to be on the lookout for and made sure I was able to access it easily. Experience, patience and kindness are rare qualities and their people always show all of them.

Thank you. I have true peace of mind knowing you're here when I need you.

I'll give them 2 stars instead of 1 because of their professionalism. Now, I won't/can't speak to the quality of their work because the price they quoted me was beyond absurd.

It was very literally five TIMES more than I was quoted by other plumbers for the exact same job. To say their pricing is laughable would be a gross understatement.

Arrived on time, were knowledgeable, polite, professional and fixed the issue with my tankless hot water system without hesitation. Could not have been a better experience.

I highly recommend. Bathroom Renovation Plumbing rough in with this business did not go well.

Time and materials invoice inflated: Attempted to charge exhorbinant price for PVC; they went as far as billing for hours not worked. I know because I was the homeowner/ GC on site.

do not use this business for any renovations. Also instead of using diamond blades for demo...

a sledge hammer was used. Do ya'll know what happens to plaster and lath on the other side of a wall with such force.

Will,post picture of adjoining wall damage. Our water main broke a few years ago and flooded our basement.

We needed emergency services so I called them. They replaced the valve, but there was still no water pressure so something was wrong.

Instead of considering the idea that the valve was not doing what it needed to do, they were going to have us start digging up our front lawn to see if there was a leak in the line. Fortunately, the town water supervisor lives on our block and stopped in to help and he solved the problem.

Thank goodness for him or we would have dropped tons of money for no reason. I am very happy with Jack Hall.

From Amber in the office who has helped me out a ton, to the gentleman whom took my trouble shooting phone calls to the two gentleman whom came to my house and installed my new hot water heater. Thank You very much for helping me out.

They responded pretty quickly for a Sunday! The Tech, Jason was masked polite and professional. He asked a few questions and went right to work to diagnose the problem with my heating system! Thankfully it was a quick and easy repair.

EXPENSIVE!!! MONEY HUNGRY!!! We got several estimates on a job and they gave us a $21,000 estimate while we got the job done for $7,000. And yes the job we had done was great.

Totally took advantage of older customers. My Aunt and Uncle in there 90s needed a new sink hooked up to new construction plumbing .

1 pvc bathroom trap and 2 flex lines maybe 30.00 in parts oh yea i must mention the bead of silicone also along the wall that i removed anyway because it looked terrible. $699.00 crazy !!!! ant they have the nerve to put a senior discount of 34.00.

So it would have been 733.00 . thats not including faucet,vanity nothing just 2 flex lines a a pvc trap .

They came over on an emergency call on Feb 12, 2020 in the evening when my tenants were smelling sewage. I called Jack Hall again because I thought it might have been something that happened with the work that they had messed up previously.

The emergency guy wrote up a false report, did not fix anything, and turned off my gas and had my tenants evacuated - oh and charged me $330. I was told the job would be costly and I needed ALL of my cast-iron plumbing redone! I had a second and a third plumbing company come to confirm that this information was inaccurate, and that it was a sewer main back up.

I had this fixed with rotor rooter and had national grid come out to make sure nothing was leaking. Today is the final straw which is making me report them, and that is due to the fact that I have disgruntled tenants move out and they went to jack hall for information on me and my property, which Jack Hall provided copies of and gave them my PERSONAL INFORMATION AND RECORDS to people who have been harassing me and people I have been in contact with the police about.

I feel violated and disgusted with this company. Terrible services.

Half ass the job they do. Overly rude and disrespectful costumer service.

Verbally abusive towards costumers. Very rude to animals and threatens people and animals of smashing heads open.

Phony nasty people. Wouldn't recommend to come to your house and do nasty work.

The last time I had used them they called to cancel an install of an AC unit I had paid half down and scheduled well in advance. They showed up a week later after a heat wave.

I wasn't going to use them anymore but needed a simple furnace cleaning at a townhouse I owned. She looked up my old information and when I informed the office I moved the person I spoke to decided to set up another account and we scheduled 10 days out 12-2.

At 1:45 my tenant who took the time from work called to let me know they weren't there. I called and JH's team knew nothing about ..

well anything. Pathetic customer service.

I have waited a few weeks before writing this. I have contacted the owner and requested a refund, but I see that is not forthcoming.

I had called jack hall when I didn't have any hot water. I have used their services before for furnace, cleaning furnace and other plumbing issues.

Not always pleased with their service, cranky person just one of the problems, but never was as bad as this last call. After a few hours of working on my hot water furnace he finally said he figured out the problem.

He determined the igniter was bad. He drove back to the office to get a new one and did the replacement.

The cost was $750+. Within a few days, I again had no hot water.

If I went down and pressed the reset I could usually get it to work. After fuming for a few weeks and talking to other people in my region, I called a different plumber.

The issue was a bad heat exchanger. Because it was not properly working, other parts were also now damaged.

After discussing the options, I agreed to get new furnace at this time. When I called jack hall to complain they wanted to come and check it out themselves and would only return the funds from the unnecessary work done by applying it to the cost of them putting in my new furnace.

That was not going to happen! So my recourse is this BAD review and small claims court. Too bad, I think it would've easier to just do the right thing.

We were away 2.5 weeks in January travelling through the warmer south climate with friends only to return to a frozen DRAIN line. The house temp was set at 58 so house was warm enough.

As we are fortunate enough to have an additional bathroom to use I attempted to put very hot water down the toilet, shower and jacuzzi for 2 days but to no avail. I contacted Jack Hall Plumbing regarding the matter and the ladies receiving the call were very professional.

They did arrange a schedule for Friday afternoon and advised me of the $99 quote fee which I understood. I explained twice that the problem was a frozen drain line on the homes 2nd floor.

Friday afternoon the plumber arrived around 2pm and was very greeting and asked what the issue was. I advised that it was a frozen drain line on the 2nd level so I showed him the bathroom where the problem existed.

He looked at the room and became very negative stating he would have to remove the toilet to access the drains as he thought it was frozen incoming water lines. Did I already say I told the receptionist 2x what the issue was? I said I was fine with the toilet removal as that would be part of the resolve.

IT would be part of the quote price anyway! He then gave an excuse he had no snake on the truck and would be afraid of braking one. He furthered he would have to call another truck for a snake but no idea when that would arrive.

WHAT PLUMBER DOES NOT CARRY A SNAKE? He then asked yo look at the lower floor area to see where the pipes ran so I took him to both the living room and the finished basement. He said the repair would require cutting open the wallpappered wall and to heat with a hair dryer to see if it would free up.

At this point I recognized he was not too eager to fix the problem on a late Friday afternoon so I told him I would first have to check if I had any wallpaper available to fix the wall later. He agreed and said he would prepare the $100 bill to see if I wanted to decide to have the work done.

I received no quote but PAID the $100 to rid myself of the poor service call. The heat idea was a good idea though as I took my garage propane heater and placed it in the basement towards the wall.

Within 15 minutes the drain opened up and no costly damage was made to the walls. I know next time what company not to call! I set up an appointment with them to come and give me a price on a new ac install and they never showed.

I call the dispatch a half and hour later and she said she would get in touch with someone. I never heard anything from them.

I guess they don't need my business! We used Jack Hall for window replacement in our home and we are thrilled with the job they did. Out of all the window quotes we got, they had the best quality windows and the sales team was attentive to our needs/questions.

We had old single paned windows that were difficult to open and now our home looks fantastic from the inside and out with the new windows. The installer was friendly and professional, and he left my house the way he arrived, clean and tidy.

Not only will we save energy costs, but the curb appeal is outstanding. We've been using Jack Hall for heating (oil boiler) and plumbing for more than 10 years.

They're always prompt, friendly and get the job done. We just used them to get a ductless A.C.

in a loft room and they did a great job. We no longer have to dread unbearably hot summer nights! Once there was a repeat problem with a plumbing issue but they came back right away and cut the charge for us.

Highly recommended! Run. Run as fast as you can.

I called them to do a furnace inspection on my house, which is rented. My tenants set up an appointment and made sure one of them was home to greet the technician.

For whatever reason, Jack Hall cancelled and rescheduled for the next day. So again, they stayed home from work and waited.

Again, the appointment was cancelled and rescheduled. Finally they show up (not at the scheduled time but at another time, but at least on the right day) and tell me my furnace is on its last legs and will need to be replaced very soon.

I just had it installed in 2005 brand new so I knew this wasn't true. This was after having them look at a leaky sink in my bathroom over the summer where they told me I needed a whole new sink.

Huh?? Talk about milking it and trying to squeeze every dime out. I feel they are money-grubbing, untruthful, uncaring and unreliable.

They will take advantage of you and rob you blind. And why make an appointment if you're just going to cancel it? We can't sit home all day waiting for you to decide you're going to show up.

Do yourself a favor and find someone else. So I needed a tankless hot water heater repaired, and my system tells me what is wrong, I called telling the problem to make sure they could handle, "our technicians gave lots of parts on their truck" do they have this? "I would not know that".

I need the repair so let them come out knowing their is an up front visit fee. They come here tell me what is wrong, is exactly what I told them, they have to order the part.

A 100 expedited part fee for something I can get next day online for $40. I need it done just order it.

They expect payment in full before they have the part or even see if I am satisfied????? That's a new business model, DO NOT EVEN CALL THESE CROOKS, so after I paid them for showing up and telling what I already was aware of and got a quote of $600 for the repair, I called Somebody else that did the job for 170 from start to finish, and I was able to check the work before I paid him. I have purchased two ductless air conditioning systems from Jack Hall, The first cost $6000, because of an addition the last one cost over $8000.

Came right away to do sale and install. Guess what? Now I live to far away.

Tell me whats in between Huletts Landing and Glens Falls. Really Lets see.

6 + 8 is $14000. and now I live to far away for service.

Why didn't you tell me that at sale time. Hello.

Their service is very dependent on which technician you get. The first one they sent was very good.

The last time we needed service, we knew what the problem was and told the dispatcher when we called. The tech showed up without the necessary parts, though when he checked, he agreed that the info was there.

Then instead of getting the part and fixing the problem, he wanted to charge us for a second visit, and do a complete overhaul of the system. Their experience service man could not find a clog in my tub after 8,5 hrs of service and he put acid in my tub an ruined it.

I now have a rusty tub and Jack Hall Plumbing would do nothing to rectify the problem. FYI, my tub did not have any issues with the finish prior to this service call.

PLEASE be CAREFUL when dealing with the company Jack Hall Pluming and Heating. My mother who is single women in her fifties was in my opinion ripped off and given very poor customer service.

Last year she was having a problem with her furnace. They came and fixed it charging her hundreds of dollars.

In this process they replaced her main control panel. Not once did they mention it might be cover under the warranty which in fact it was.

They also even after her requesting the part they replaced be returned to her never did so. So in return she is now out of $150 dollar she can never get back.

But today, once again her furnace stopped working. She call up Jack Hall and told them of the problem and asked if they could send someone out to see if it was because of the part they "fixed".

The women on the phone with whom she spoke to was very rude and told her after a few comments back and forth that they could make it out sometime after two. She informed them she had to be to work by then and was replied to with "well I guess that's your problem isn't".

At this point my mothers house was only 50 degrees and dropping even with a space heater. So she hung up and called "One Hour Service" and not only where they their by 930 with in an hour of original phone call but called to see if parts were covered under warranty, drove to glens falls to get parts she needed and while fixing her furnace always maintained a happy positive attitude.

So please be very careful when dealing with Jack Haul. This company seems to only be out for the profit not for what should be a valued customer.........

* After placing this review in many locations my mother was contacted by the company and given an official apology. They also sent my mother a check reimbursing her for the amount if they had apply her original warranty.

She is very grateful for their attempts at making this situation right. Thank you.'''.Read less

Review and analyze now for company Extreme Heating & Cooling and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''These guys are great. Their biggest problem is Yelp.

Which is a terrible platform that uses bad reviews to extort money out of business owners. Don't believe anything you read on their site.

This place is a joke!!! The people they send over to your home are so gross and dressed properly. They don't act licensed.

They did a terrible job in my home & the guy that owns the place doesn't do the work ! He sends these unprofessional people!! They Want to charge me for work that they did wrong!! Avoid them! I had them install my furnace in March 2015. I called them for service 3 times this week and they never called back yes or no .

Called looking for help wiring my furnaces thermostat and simply asked for help with what wires go where on the furnace. I was told by a guy at that company that the information would cost me $85.00 to obtain and that they just dont give that information away.

Needless to say the company has screwed themselfs out of any business with me and or my companies. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM THEY ARE A JOKE.

Anyone that would try to scam you out of $85 to tell you where 5 wires go is a lost cause. I did get the help I needed for FREE from another more helpful company in the area and WILL now have them come and service the furnace for winter @ a cost even lower than Extreme Heating and coolings fee for "INFORMATION"'''.Read less
