Top Notch Service!!
Tony - Poughkeepsie, NY
Brian was outstanding! He explained very thoroughly each step that he was taking and why he was doing so. I learned much more in the two hours I spent with him than I would have in an eight hour class. Request Brian when calling in. As a homeowner you will not regret it. You’ll be educated. Also, very personable, courteous, and respectful. In addition, his work was very clean as he laid down cloth sheeting and wore shoe coverings before entering the house.
Thanks!

Hubert - Poughkeepsie, NY
I will make sure not to use Folkes again. I asked for oil burner service and diagnostic with 3 valves replacement. It took all day (8am -9pm) and three technicians with flooded basement to complete the task! I was misdiagnosed by first two technicians and charged for the part that didn’t need to be replaced! Waste of time and money! To think I was about to hire them to do my central AC instal!
Excellent service

Jerry - Poughkeepsie, NY
I was pleasantly surprised by the response I received when I called with an A/C problem at 4 PM on a hot afternoon. It was like I was the first one to call with a problem. I was kept informed and was back in business within 2 hours. What could be better than that?

Arrived and found no power going to the boiler, tested switches and inside junction boxes. Found no power coming from the breaker to the switch. Customer will need to have an electrician look into the breaker panel and see if the breaker is bad or even the wire coming from the panel is broken.
Greg M.
Low voltage fuse in air handler shorting intermittently only when in heat mode. Replaced 3 amp fuse and ran system in heat mode. Cycled system on/off several times. Fuse did not blow. Found W wire in condenser not capped off and touching against low voltage junction box. This would short when heat pump goes into defrost cycle. Capped wire. Inspected rest of low voltage wiring did not see any further problems.

Clean and service Oil with MA

Arrived and found no power to the boiler, went through all switches to trace power from the breaker back to a junction box on the wall before the boiler switch. The junction box has 120v coming then it goes through a switch for the generator then out to the switch for the boiler. I found the switch on the generator outlet was off. Switched it on and the boiler started running. Customer said he may have hit it by accident.

Arrived at customers home to water jet customers home. We were here on Sunday night and cabled the line. After jetting the line still could clear the line. Advised customer we should put a cleanout closer to the clog. After cutting the line open we exposed the pipe underground where it tied into the stack and found that there was a house trap and that was causing the issue advised customer he would not be charged for the cleanout but would be charged a diagnostic fee for the additional work and finding house trap. The house trap was completely buried. Cleared house trap. And tested the line. All is good at this time.

Arrived at suctomers home for a main line clog. Advised customer the mainline would need to be cabled and camera would need to be sent down to insure the pipe is in good condition and nothing is wrong. After sending the drain machine down line multiple times the cable kept getting bound up around 27 feet. Also camera could not see down pipe as the line was compromised by water. Advised customer that the line would need to need to be jetted out as the line feels like there is a clog but not guaranteed. Took deposit on water Jetter. Customer currently has temporary services for sewer.
Greg M.
