Braden is a fine young man, courteous, came when he said he would, performed his maintenance procedures, explained his process, answered all my questions. He made a recommendation for follow up maintenance and carbon monoxide detectors. I will definitely use Evans Mechanical again. Services: Cleaning, Heating system maintenance

So far so good, Braden provided an excellent detailed summary of the issues with our older gas wall heater. we had purchased a replacement heater and he confirmed that it would work, however, the company doesn't install appliances purchased by others (because they wouldn't be able to back the warranty on it). i appreciated that he did take a look at the heater we purchased to confirm it would work. in the end we decided to go ahead with evans, since they pull permits and provide the warranty. i have confidence that they'll do the job right. update: evans arrived on-time, and i love their text that provides a short bio with photo of the service technician. i find that to be a great tool, especially for inviting a stranger into the home. although i was not there to experience the repair services, they did a top rate job, no complaints here!

Removal of old system and installation of new Aprilaire filter and heating system done in an efficient and professional manner. We received answers to our many questions and clear instructions on the system. In addition, our stove needed a new shut-off valve and that was taken care of as well. At the end of the day I believe these installers were very proud of their work and we are very happy satisfied customers. Our house is toasty warm.

Joe was honest and professional when he quoted me for a new water heater. The installation was fast and easy to set up. I am a working mom, so thier ability to work with me was excellent. I had to work so I left my home in their care while they installed it, I came home to a new water heater and a perfectly kept home. There was a weird error code on the new water heater the evening it was installed, I emailed Joe and he unexpectedly responded at 8pm!

I was shocked with his prompt and curtious customer service. He had his guys out the next day and they fixed the minor error. We just took 3 nice hot long showers and my on demand water heater is awesome! Thanks Evans!

Thank you for sending Braden to our home to repair our furnace. He's very professional, respectful, patient, and knowledgeable. Braden went out of his way to take the time to check our additional options when requested and explained everything clearly for the lay person. His experience shows in the quality of his work and his work ethic. We would be happy to have him working on any of our HVAC needs and would recommend him and your company to anyone.

Evans Mechanical installed a new furnace Dec. 30, replacing the last one they installed 19 years ago! We think we got such long service from the old one because we had Evans clean and service it each year. We're expecting this one to last a long time as well. Excellent service from everyone, including Lacey who schedules, to Dylan who did the install.

I had an issue of running out of firewood on christmas eve even though i had ordered it in plenty of time for it to arrive. i hadn't used my heater in years as the wood burning stove heats the house so much better! nestor was on call on christmas eve. he was very kind and helpful and put up with my silly jokes as i have had many things go out in the house this month and it was really getting to be a joke to me. he handled my weird humor with grace and i think i was lucky to have nestor come out on the call. he installed and new thermostat, which was something i hadn't even considered would be a bad and i had heat for christmas day! yeah, i was happy! thank you nestor. janet

Thomas and Adam were on time and very professional during the installation of my new tankless water heater! I'm pretty certain that they are not used to a home owner over seeing the process from start to finish. I've been a home owner for ten years and am learning that it is pretty extensive trying to keep up with all the maintenance that comes with that responsibility.

I just wanted to be a part of the process and learn a thing or two about what goes into the work. I appreciate the fun banter and their ability to keep things professional. I'm very happy with the clean work that was done and I wish your company and everyone involved a very Happy Holiday.

Jo, Nester and Mat have been wonderful. They have had to fix problems caused by another heating place. They were great in taking time to answer all my questions. I don't think I'll have any further problems with my Heat Pump. I recommend them. Services: HVAC repair, HVAC maintenance

Incredible service. Hard working crew. Joe, Andrew and Nestor were all great. They all wore masks with no problem. Lacy in the office was professional and helpful. They made a special effort to schedule the installation of the heater as soon as possible as we had no heat and we are seniors. Would definitely recommend Evans. I had several estimates done and Evans was the most professional.

They were excellent to work with Joe who came out for the estimates was easy to work with very informative and nice. The two workers that came and installed the heating system were great. Everything was left neat and clean and they set up the smart thermostat before leaving. We will use this company again. Services: Thermostat installation, Heating system installation

I made my appointment for annual furnace maintenance with Evans Mechanical about 3 weeks in advance as they have a full schedule. I was pleased when Braden showed up wearing a mask. My furnace is in the attic so he quietly brought in a ladder along with his tools. He finished in around a half an hour. Thanks to his business pad computer, I was able to easily pay him with my credit card. Overall, I would say he was very considerate and answered all my questions. Thumbs up to Evans Mechanical.

I had Evans Mechanical swap out my old gas furnace for a new electric heat pump. They handled everything including the electrical panel upgrade, the heat pump installation, sealing all of my ducting to meet new energy standards, and installation of my Nest thermostat. They were right in schedule when it came time to my installation and the price was exactly what they quoted me.

I did need to have the guys come out one time after the install to fix an odd setting, but the system is now working beautifully and I'm very grateful for the top quality work.

I needed a new furnace and after a few consultations with other companies, I decided on Evans. I am happy I did. Joe organized the estimates and installation. Joe was consistently attentive and responsive to questions. The day of the installation could not have gone any smoother. Joe, Dillon, and Ben were incredibly thorough, clean, and professional.

I have worked with Evans on a couple jobs at my home now and can recommend them for all HVAC service requirements and needs. The office staff follow up promptly in all my dealings when I have requested service, within 24 hours on each service request. My most recent service, the office scheduled an 1.5 hour window for their technician, he showed up within the scheduled time and I received an email message with his identification photo prior to his arrival. Braden was professional kind and very detailed in his diagnosis and explanations of what was required and his recommendations for the necessary services to be completed.

There were even safety issues I was completely unaware of until his explanation of the diagnosis. Timely, professional and helpful in all my dealings with this company. Recommend 4 Stars a solid organization with good quality folks working for them 00637

We know we can depend on Evans to do the job correctly and efficiently. Our furnace thermostat controller was going crazy. A call to the office, and James was there within the hour. (On Friday of Labor Day weekend) Apparently, the backup batteries corroded and caused severe damage and connectivity issues. They had the replacement part in stock, he installed it and programmed it quickly and expertly.

As with all the EM technicians, James was a pleasure to have in our home. I highly recommend Evans and their Gold Member service program. Will be calling them again in the fall for our annual furnace checkup and filtration cleaning.

We had Evans Mechanical install a new furnace in our home. Our home was without heat because the wall heater had broken so we were desperate to get some heating! Joe came out and gave us an estimate and just meeting with Joe had us sold. He is so wonderful to work with! He is knowledgable in his field and was so professional and helped the process go smoothly and easily.

Once they started on the job we were so impressed with how kind and hard working the crew was. They were always on time and ready to get started. Once the install was done Joe came out and walked us through how to use our new thermostat and I have texted him a few times with questions and he has responded quickly and has always been there to help us! We are so happy with our new furnace! It has made our home so comfortable and cozy! Thank you so much Evans Mechanical, you guys rock!

Watch out for these guys. I contacted them to see what they would charge me to install one counterflow wall furnace.initially I wanted them to install one I would buy myself for approximately $1000, but they said they didn't do that I would need to allow them to supply the furnace. I heard they did good work so I decided to go through with gettting an estimate from them.

The guy that came out was nice enough and seemed to know his stuff. He looked at my simple project and said he would come up with an estimate which he did, and was emailed to me within a few days. The estimate was $1740 which I figured seemed close enough to reasonable to go ahead and do it.they would not tell me how much was parts and how much was labor, but I already knew the furnace was $1000 so I figured the rest would be a slight mark up on the furnace itself plus a fair wage for the worker to do what was clearly no more than a several hour job.

I called and let them know I wanted them to do the work. I got an apologetic phone call from the dude who had come to my house letting me know he had mistakenly given me a quote for what they charge for a water heater installation. Um, okay. And that he was very sorry but he would have to send out a new estimate. Ruh-roh. Hmmm I wonder how much more the new estimate would be? $3990! That's how much.

For a $1000 wall furnace. That is, to me, sketchy. They were ready to happily charge me nearly $3000 in labor alone for what was clearly, to anybody with any knowledge of construction at all, a several hour job. I ended up buying a different unit (which had admittedly a slightly simpler installation.maybe 1 or 2 hours less than the one Evan's quoted me on).

I paid an electrician and a licensed HVAC guy a grand total of $450 (at $90 and $70 per hour) to do the needed installation: a fair and honest wage. Evan's would have seriously charged me something like $600 to $700 per hour to do this job. I feel kind of mad about that.

I have always found the Evans technicians to be very respectful, knowledgeable, and helpful - they even come with booties to wear inside my house. Recently Brandon came to do annual maintenance and I was reminded of how pleasant it is to do business with Evans. Thank you!

Sadly, I cannot recommend Evans Mechanical. I had some heater work done and some additional duct sealing was also needed, but could not be done for 9 weeks. The tech that repaired the heater(he did a good job), spoke on the phone right in front of me with the scheduler and placed me on the schedule for the first week of February, 2018. Since they hadn't called me prior to this week, I called Evans to only find out I was never put on the schedule at all.

I was then told I would need to be put back on the schedule for another months wait. The scheduler acted like it was my fault, no apology. Needless to say, I am not pleased at all.

Don't balk at the $97 diagnostic fee, it might have been the best $97 I've spent. The tech took his time in diagnosis and explaining to me what he was doing. He also provided me with some great maintenance tips. I'll never hesitate to call on Evans mechanical for any HVAC need. They are not the cheapest, but they very well may be the best.

Evans Mechanical installed a high efficiency furnace, a tankless water heater, and some new ductwork along with sealing and rewrapping all the existing ductwork for a 2500 sqft home. They did a clean job with great attention to detail. The business is very customer focused, so that in addition to making sure we were satisfied with the install, they've followed up on some fine-tuning support calls without hesitation, making it a very easy business to interact with where support is concerned. I've also been impressed with their knowledge concerning efficient HVAC systems and tankless water heating.

In short, not only to they take a lot of care to make sure the systems are properly installed, but also show a firm committment to ongoing support. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommended.

Evans Mechanical has come to my rescue several times. "Matt" has come two or three times to address issues with my furnace and heating; he, and other men from Evans, have always been knowledgeable, professional, patient, and kind. They have also been generous with their time and attention. I am grateful they are here in Eureka!

I could not recommend Evan's Mechanical more. Their quote was extremely competitive, hundreds of dollars below the others we solicited. They were friendly and professional, from Joe who gave our quote to the two men completing the project to the women on the phone who took our payment. Despite unexpected complications the project came through under budget. We will definitely be using Evan's in the future!

First let me say that the quality of work provided by these folks is outstanding. On the negative side is their pricing. In my personal opinion they charge absurd pricing compared to others. In fact they are over 35% higher for the same type of systems. My rub is that again my personal opinion is they are taking advantage with the prices they charge.

Excellent service. Heather in the office sent Braden out within the hour. He diagnosed the problem with my thermostat in a few minutes and had the new on on hand. He was quick, competent, and accommodating. Rachel in the office was most helpful as well.

I chose Evans Mechanical because of their reputation when I decided to replace my 40 year old heater. It's clear that their excellent reputation is well deserved. Once I sat down with Joe for an estimate, I knew I was sold on Evans. I selected the Nest system for my smoke detectors and for my thermostat because I love gadgets. Even though it is not their typical choice, they installed them with ease.

The existing attic access was too small to remove the old heater, so it had to be widened. The return was located in the stairwell to the garage, which made no sense, so that needed to be moved to the interior hallway. Everything that needed to be done was explained to me in detail and they didn't tire of my questions. Not only did they do a great job, they actually seemed to enjoy their work.

The crew got along well with each other and with me in the house. The fellows were so easy going, that I know that Brad is Happy (no, really, he's so super enthusiastic that the others call him that!). Hatch aka Tuna (lead installer) led the project with skill and may start watching Homeland soon, since that's what I was watching for much of their stay. Mike (the Foreman) and Dan both love animals.

They were all respectful of my sneaky and somewhat crotchety old indoor cat, Pete. Hatch even suggested, then made (free of charge) custom wall plates to lay behind the thermostat and one of the smoke detectors to stylishly hide the blemishes left on the walls from the older units. Oh! And they left the place cleaner than they found it. Happy even vacuumed one of Pete's toys for him. Thank you, guys!

Staff are friendly and communicate well. However, the fee just to install a motor on our furnace was over $200 and the installation took under 30 minutes. I asked about paying a fee for labor hourly rate vs. the "upfront price" which is the quoted amount for parts and labor and was told, "No, I'm only a worker bee". The bottom line, they have extremely inflated prices.

After writing my review, I received a call addressing my concerns. The employee that responded to my concerns, was professional and reasonable. After some discussion, we were able to ameliorate my concerns. Therefore, I am amending my review. I appreciate their commitment to customer satisfaction.

I had to call in a plumber to help with a gas leak problem, and not only were they quick to respond, but also very decent price range for the work needing to be done and very professional and reliable. I will use their services again if I need this type of help in the future and would definitely recommend them to anyone who has plumbing needs.
