Hot water heater tank replacement

Our old hot water heater stopped working and we couldn't get a part for it, so we decided to replace the whole unit, since it was old and we also wanted to get out from under the thumb of Reliance Home Comfort! Katy was so understanding and helpful to provide a quote and then quickly proceed with scheduling an appt once we decided to give them our business. Marty and Nigel showed up earlier than expected (even phoning ahead to make sure it was OK to come earlier) and completed the removal of the old tank and installing new tank within two hours! They put down drop cloths to keep my carpets clean. They were very professional and pleasant to deal with, answering my questions about the new water tank. The best part: they are dropping off the old water tank at Reliance's office on my behalf!! An added service that really made choosing them such a no-brainer. I'm thinking that when we need to replace our furnace, we will be calling Shipton's for that too!

Furnace & Central A/C Maintenance

We had our furnace and A/C serviced yesterday, and based on Jamie F.'s visit, I'm glad we called Shipton's. Jamie was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and polite. He was careful, and patient (didn't mind explaining everything), and he arrived on time. I've already recommended him to a friend.

Furnace & AC Install

Nigel, Marty, Luciano and Kevin were all professional. They took time to answer my questions and were knowledgeable about the install. They left the site spotless. Katie provided my with all the information to make an informed choice of both company and product.
My suggestion to make the customer experience better is proactive contact by the production scheduler to confirm date and advise of arrival time. Perhaps a flyer could be provided upon contract signing that deals with FAQs. I called mid day the the day before to confirm and ask when the installers would arrive. Overall a very positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to refer Shipton's to family and friends.

No call back!! or reinbursement!!

We purchased a service plan last fall that included maintenance on our furnace and air conditioner. Prior to turning on the air conditioner a couple of weeks ago, we had Shiptons service technician out to fulfill their commitment with the air conditioner. The service technician spent a good hour or so preparing and cleaning the unit. He advised that the unit was good to go but we would need a new capacitor as he felt there was not enough power to the unit. We agreed and had it replaced a couple of days later by a different technician. After replacing the capacitor the technician told us that all is good and we could start using the air conditioner. A couple of weeks ago when the weather was at its hottest, we turned the air conditioner on to find that no cold air was circulating.
We immediately called Shiptons and they sent the same technician out to troubleshoot. This time he took all of about 5 minutes to determine that the compressor was dead and we needed a new air conditioner. As most customer do, we got several quotes immediately and had the air conditioner replaced within 2 days. Installed and once turned on the new AC was having the same problem. The first thing the technician did was he went to the hydro panel box in the basement and noticed that the AC was running on 110V and he changed it over to 220V. He fixed the issue in less than 30 seconds. Long story short, the technician told us that we did not need a new AC and was wondering why Shiptons technician didn't troubleshoot.
I proceeded to call Shiptons and left a VM to discuss a refund of at least the capacitor with no call back. Called them back last Monday and spoke to ..... after explaining to her the above story, she said that she would have someone call me the next day! It is now June 4/16, still no call or reimbursement!!! This tells me that they know they were wrong and now are trying to cover up!! Really terrible customer service.

first service call

I found Jamie F. to be polite & very professional on this service call. He examined the condo's aging unit inside & out, & verbally explained his written findings upon completion of his visit.

When he left, I felt I was in very capable hands regarding my heating/cooling system & Shipton's staff.

Change from oil to propane, furnace, hot water heater, duct cleaning, etc.

Scott and the whole crew of Shipton installers were honest, on time did everything they said they would do...every time! There cared for our home when removing and installing all of the equipment. It was a tricky job and took extra time and materials and they did not charge extra.

One of the most professional companies I have ever dealt with. I am the CEO of a national finance company and highly recommend Shipton's

Gas Fire Place

We had Jared along with his trainee Jamie, come to service a gas fireplace in our recently purchased home. I have never had a gas fireplace before and was concerned that our tenants in the basement would have heating issues, if I ran the fireplace upstairs. Also, the location of my electronics was a concern. The young men were very knowledgeable and gave me lots of valuable information. They took the time to explain how to work the unit for my particular circumstances. Jared did a great job of cleaning the unit and both were very respectful of my house and keeping things clean in the process. Jared made some repairs, and suggested something to enhance the look of the fireplace. It now looks great! In conclusions I cannot say enough about those two young men. They were very professional and personable while being clean, efficient, and knowledgeable.

Furnace Maintenance

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

Jared came to service and check the furnace for the winter. He explained what he was doing and had a good attitude towards his work. I mentioned a couple of issues with the humidifier and the drainpipe from the furnace, knowing that these really were not what he was there for but I thought he may have some advice. He kindly looked at both of these and confirmed that the humidifier seemed to be working fine and suggested some maintenance that I could do, and he went out to his truck to get some hose and repair the drain. He was courteous as well. Thanks!
