“Just before Christmas, we cut a check to Phillip Martin of Red Merle Mechanical and scheduled him for early January.”
Philip Martin was great to work with. Good quote for heat pumps and installation. Work completed on time and true to cost quoted. Heat pumps working great so far. Thank you Philip!
Excellent experience with Red Merle Mechanical. They put in a heat pump for me, were helpful in sizing the most efficient system for the home with very reasonable pricing, and fit me quickly into their schedule. I could not have asked for better service. The entire experience was extremely positive and I’ve already recommended them to friends. Do yourself a favor, and give them a call first!!
Phil and his crew installed heat pumps for us last year, and we couldn't be happier. He was honest, reasonably priced, friendly, and fair to work with. He took a great deal of time to answer all our questions and guide us throughout the process. And when a minor issue revealed itself the day after the installation was complete, he was profusely apologetic and out in less 30 mins to address it (impressive, given that we seem to live 45 minutes from everywhere). Highly recommend.
Phil was a great communicator, very efficient worker and helped us formulate a great plan to have mini split and heat pumps. Would highly recommend! --- Edit: Phil went above an beyond helping us ensure that we loved every aspect of our heat pumps. We was also a great liaison when communicating with Mitsubishi. I'd rate him higher than 5 stars if I could!
Working with Phil and his team was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. They arrived promptly at the scheduled times, which was refreshing and demonstrated their professionalism. Throughout the project, they worked meticulously and maintained a clean workspace, taking care to tidy up any mess created each day, which I greatly appreciated. Phil was exceptionally accommodating to all of my requests; he took the time to consult with me on the placements of both the outdoor and indoor units, ensuring they were strategically positioned for optimal functionality and aesthetic appeal. He even allowed me to paint the line hide to match the color of my house, which helped the installation blend seamlessly with the exterior. Additionally, I found that his pricing was considerably lower than several other quotes I had received, without compromising on the quality of service. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Phil and his team for their outstanding work and customer-focused approach.
