Overall Great experience; Very fair price for an instant hot water heater that went out unexpectedly. Luckily found First Rate Mechanical before being forced into other companies over priced quotes. Very fair pricing, timely, and good communication. If you're looking for fairness and honesty as well as not having to pay for expensive company commercials, and fancy work vans then First Rate Mechanical should be the first stop to look. Following the first experience I immediately had them do an additional project to put a propane heater into a shop. Very happy with First Rate Mechanical, and would recommend them to friends and family.
Andrew is the most sincere HVAC technician I have met. Professional, personable, and eager to educate and go above and beyond.
Was able to come right out, knowledgeable, not trying to waste your time or money.
I had a great experience with First-Rate Mechanical and especially with Andrew, the technician who came out. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. My A/C had a tricky issue involving some obscure parts, but Andrew was able to track everything down and get it fixed just in time for the heat wave—and trust me, it’s going to be a scorcher today! I really appreciated how efficiently he worked and how clearly he explained everything. I’m extremely happy with the service and would absolutely call Andrew again. Highly recommend him and First-Rate Mechanical to anyone needing HVAC help.
Andrew installed a new furnace for me. My old furnace was from 1989 so all the piping was out of code. He replaced all the old pipes and had the new system up and running in just 2 days. I got quotes from others he was the best by far. I would highly recommend him for any AVAC projects.
