Adam Mechanical

We used Adam Mechanical for heating and air conditioning service for several years. They are technically competent in heating and air conditioning, but not for plumbing. We stopped using them because their pricing scheme is a rip-off. We were greatly overcharged on a couple of occasions and when I protested, they refused to reconsider. They price according to the type of task, also called ""flat rate"" pricing, regardless of how easy or difficult the task may be in a particular customer's system. The alternative scheme is called ""time & materials"" pricing under which a customer is charged for the exact amount of labor and materials the specific customer's problem actually entailed.
In one instance, a task took the Adam technician 45 minutes to replace a $100 part in my heating system, but they charged me over $1,000! (It was an emergency, so I didn't have time to get estimates from other contractors.) Under time & materials pricing, the job would have cost maybe $500.
A flat rate pricing scheme enables a contractor to give the customer a fixed price immediately, but that's the only benefit -- which is not much of a benefit when the fixed price is double what a task should cost.
Bottom line: DO NOT USE ADAM MECHANICAL, or any other contractor that uses flat rate pricing, for that matter.

Don't know where all these good reviews are coming from. Quoting from another yelper Daniel H because his review was spot on:

""They came out person was very nice and respectful their price is beyond expensive they suck you in with a cheap service call and charge you a crazy amount for any service.

Do not use them.

Yes the one I am reviewing is the Adam's mechanical In Delaware county.""

Our experience: We had a small kitchen faucet leak that was surely fixable. Unfortunately my naive spouse authorized having a new faucet put in for $934. Same model faucet available at home depot for $150 retail. Sorry but I think $784 dollars for the hour the technician spent at my house was just a little excessive!!!!

Avoid these scammers and save lots of money!!!!!!

Was able to come the same day we called to check out the furnace. Informed us there was no issue with the furnace. So relieved. We still have heat and the issue hasn't resurfaced so far. Absolutely recommend him. Honest and reliable.

Having not renewed my HVAC post-installation complimentary service contract with Adam Mechanical [A_M], and not yet signed up with a different service provider, I recently decided to replace the air filter myself, which I had done with my previous system. However, because I encountered an appallingly installed, side folded, bent, air-flow reversed and improperly sized air filter wedged beyond the visible filter rack, as placed by the A_M serviceman, this turned into a lengthy project, which deserves sharing.
When I initially looked at the filter opening, there was no visible filter, such that I thought the HVAC system had been left without any filter, recalling that the last serviceman had the audacity to tell me that I should buy and replace the filter myself because he didn't have the properly sized one with him. The service notes simply stated ""checked filter"".
Although the correct filter size of 20x24x1 was written on the outside of the ductwork, because there was no evident filter for me to confirm the replacement size, I also measured it, and noted the manufacturer label. This filter size is not commonly stocked in stores, being unavailable at Lowe's, Home Depot and Ace, such that I had to order it from Amazon for one-day delivery. After dropping the new filter into the rack, because I was concerned about the presumed absence of any filtration for months, I looked up online documentation about HVAC systems and viewed YouTube videos about air filters. That prompted me to remove the furnace/air handler door, where to my dismay, I could see a different filter than I had just inserted. It turned out to be an overly large 20x 25x1 filter, folded on itself at the far side edge, bent and wedged in between the outside wall and the track of the filter rack, which is why it wasn't visible from the filter opening, and why the new filter easily dropped in. Incredibly, it was also incompetently incorrectly oriented to the airflow. In order to get the old one out, I had to cut and mangle it, which then necessitated that I vacuum the inside. Moreover, I further discovered that the contract had itemized ""filter slot"" RXGFCD, which appears online as a Rheem 16x25x1 filter rack, slide out style, with a side door, whereas a generic 20x24x1 open top drop-in filter rack was actually installed. Photos did not upload sequentially, but there are identifying explanatory labels.

Our air conditioner wasn't working. I spoke with Don, the install manager. Since our father is 90 years old and not in the best of health, and with hot weather on its way this week, Don said his technician would be out today. Jim the technician sent us a text message with his picture saying he was on his way. He arrived with proper face mask, gloves and shoe coverings. He promptly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. He was very knowledgeable and polite. We were up and running in no time. I would highly recommend Adam Mechanical to all of my friends and relatives. 5 Stars isn't enough!

My water heater was leaking gas from the control valve. They came out the same day I found out I had the problem. Very friendly service and even received money back for the part since my water heater was still under warranty. After I had the work done and paid. Definitely would recommend.

I had an ""A coil"" replaced by James yesterday and he did a thorough, neat, and competent installation. I switched to Adams because they are family run, they get it done, and I sense that they will be responsive when you need them. James is the ticket he is a superb technician.

My experience with Adam Mechanical was five stars in all aspects. I moved into home needing an HVAC upgrade and had several companies come to my home to provide upgrade options. Adam Mechanical won this project by not only offering a competitive price but also walking through the home and helping to troubleshoot some hot and cold rooms (Thanks Alex!). Once we agreed upon the right system, I was so impressed that Adam Mechanical was able to get me scheduled in less than a week. Not only that but they didn't let a blizzard stop the install. The team that came to install were true professionals. They were friendly, courteous, professional and very knowledgable. I felt like they treated my home as if it were theirs and they left the entire place as clean as they found it. This alone would be enough for a perfect review, but Adam Mechanical has continued to shine. After the installation, a technician came over to optimize the system and configuration, tweak the humidifier, and make sure everything was running properly. This is on top of their awesome team in the office that helps with all PECO rebates, answers any and all questions, and really makes you feel like a valued customer. I am so happy that I chose Adam Mechanical and highly recommend them for your HVAC and plumbing needs.

Incredible all around. I called for an estimate and they came out that day. Within 48 hours, I had a new furnace and WH for a great price. While the workers were here, I had an issue in my home unrelated to the install and they offered to help me clean up a spill so I could get back to work. So nice. After they left they gave us a box of chocolate-covered Oreos and pretzels as a thank you for the work. This is how you run a business and this is top-notch customer service.
