Our Service FAQs

Most of the time we can make it to your home or business with a few hours. Depending on the severity of the problem sometimes even sooner. We do our best to always schedule appointments accurately and to allot the needed time.

That said sometimes the schedule suddenly changes or a project goes longer than we anticipated. When this happens, we’ll always do our best to communicate a schedule changes as soon as possible.

Bellows’ Annual Home Protection Plan is a three-part membership program that’s designed to give clients the maximum peace of mind knowing their home’s plumbing, heating, and or AC equipment is being maintained and running at optimal performance.

In addition to the peace of mind and money savings that comes with proper maintenance, members also receive priority scheduling and discounted value rate pricing on all repairs.

We don’t charge by the hour, instead jobs are priced in an individualized bid. It is difficult for customers to budget for a job when they are paying by the hour because it leaves the price open until the job is completed. You never really know how much you’re going to pay!

Plus there is always the danger of having to pay extra for a slow technician; that doesn’t make sense. Our method is to properly diagnosis with an onsite visit.

Once diagnosed we can provide the client with an straight forward upfront bid. This way the client knows the total cost before proceeding with the work and ensure not surprises at the end of the job.
