These guys were awesome. Prompt and efficient. When I got the bill, I realize that the poor tech had removed two wasps nests -all without complaining or running away! Great service highly recommend
I had my boiler stop working overnight. I left a message with the answering service at 6 am and Peter returned my call quickly. He was able to get to my place by 11 am same day and quickly identified the issue. He went to buy the part and had it fixed quickly at a reasonable price. I look forward to hiring him again!
I read many positive AC repair reviews on Reading town Facebook and decided to try B&B to help and repair my AC. After three'ish other companies came out, charged me 190 to 300 bucks to make my downstairs air conditioner work, I was preparing myself for something similar where either I will get an extra gas charge or a partial repair that will keep my AC working for a month, at best. It has now been two wonderful months with my AC working like it was new. The technician (Andy?) came out and was extremely thorough with all the pressure measurements, easily found the problem and got the AC working perfectly under one hour. Best repair money I ever spent. Thank you for being thorough, on-time and super knowledgable!
This is a great family-operated business in Reading! Peter and team have taken care of our house since we moved in five years ago. We've had a couple near emergency scenarios with both our Heat and Air Conditioning over the past year and they have promptly replied back to us and come to resolve the issue. They're honest, knowledgeable, and nice folks to have take care our heating and cooling.
