I lost half the power in my house, I've never had that happen before. I called Ben Franklin seeking an answer. The person on the phone was as befuddled as I was. They were quick to attempt to schedule an appointment, and the soonest that could happen was the next day - and on a stand-by basis at that. I was then asked how I wanted to pay the $79 service call. That raised a few red flags and I ended the call.Called a smaller local company. I got an answer on the phone and had TWO trucks in my driveway in 15 minutes. In the end, it was a 'brown out' - an Xcel Energy issue. How much was the charge for the two trucks coming to my house? Zero. As the owner told me, "We didn't do anything..." Made me wonder if the same would have happened had I gone with Ben Franklin...

I would never hesitate to use this contractor. I have known them for over 30 years and they do quality work at fair prices, and are honest and reliable. They never disappoint, which is rare today in this market.

They charged me $ 360.00 to clean my burners. It took one guy about an hour to do that and there was now guarnatee that the furnace was fixed. Other than that, the service-tech was prompt and acted like a professional.The company is too expensive in my opinion.
