2006-07-25 16:34:11   Blake's came to the aid of the Turtle House during the heatwave, coming out on a Sunday to fix a stalled air conditioner, much to the relief of the house residents. They are the best. —SharlaDaly

2010-07-02 17:30:31   I can recommend Blake's. They've always done good work. This morning I called them at 10 am because the fan had stopped running in my outdoor condensing unit. They scheduled a same-day appointment, and David arrived around 1 pm. He immediately diagnosed the problem—a bad capacitor—and replaced it. David also checked the freon and my thermostats. —nowhereman

2010-12-24 09:50:07   It became evident that our heat was not working –the heat exchanger on our very old unit had cracked-and our heater needed to be replaced. My friend who is an HVAC engineer for large commercial buildings and an expert in alternative and green HVAC systems said I should call Blake’s. Mark Blake came by the house and patiently answered all of my myriad questions. He recommended a particular “package unit” and explained why he thought it was the best choice. Mark invited me to get quotes from other companies but I never did because I trusted his explanation of why his prices were as good as anyone else. His explanation made sense so I did not bother to shop around. Besides, I felt good about supporting a local business that has been serving the area for many, many years and donates money to numerous groups in our community. Mark was also very knowledgeable about the state and federal government rebates for high-efficiency units. This happened during the exceptionally cold week just before Thanksgiving. Mark noticed that we have an infant and promised to prioritize our replacement over customers who were not without heat. His staff ordered the unit, picked it up, and installed it the day before Thanksgiving. I learned that the foreman has been working for Blake’s for 19 years, which suggests that I was also supporting a company that treats its workers well. The install team replaced much of the ducts in my attic for no additional charge because it was incorrectly sized. My wife remarked that the installers did not leave a spot of dirt in our house. We were very happy with Blake’s and would

2011-01-03 19:11:25   I was more than pleased with the service I received from Blake's when my heat stopped blowing on January 3, 2011. I called the office at 3:30 p.m. and a very pleasant woman named Jean said she would try to have someone come that afternoon or the following day. At 4:00 p.m. Tim arrived. Amazingly, he remembered that he had been to my house ten years ago. He quickly diagnosed the problem (I needed a new circuit board). While he waited for the right part to be delivered, he fixed a leak around a vent pipe that he had noticed in my attic. The heat-system job was finished shortly after 5:00, and the price seemed reasonable. It was wonderful that I didn't have to take off work the next day. Tim was very friendly and helpful, and it was nice to hear that he had been with the company since 1999. Blake's is obviously a good workplace, and I will gladly use their services again.
