Best Home Humidifiers in Toledo OH

I used this company once five years ago on an emergency AC repair that turned out to be a faulty breaker. The tech was very nice and just charged me the standard call out, not the emergency rate.
I brought them in again a month ago to repair my boiler that was not acting well. Long story short, the tech had some concerns and started moving me towards a complete replacement. The concern was a controller was bad and it was no longer produced. The total replacement cost was a hair under $20K, and that was after I spent $1,000 to mitigate asbestos in the vicinity of the boiler in anticipation.
There were also concerns related to how the boiler was venting, but I'm confident that was not a real issue and just an error on the part of the tech. There was a significant amount of smoke when we first fired the boiler up after the first repair attempt, that made him think the boiler was faulty. I think it was just dust and debris burning off at the beginning that accumulated during the repair. I've been running the boiler for over a month with a smoke and CO detector above it with zero issue. This was another issue that made them think whole replacement would be the way to go, and this was an error.
Being a bit shell shocked by the quote, I googled the part number on the front of this controller and the first link was a replacement controller from Honeywell for $150 off Amazon. I bought it and it shipped to me in a week. I changed it out, and all is functioning perfectly.
The service/repair that was performed was very high quality, and I was pleased with that. They are also very prompt. On top of that, they are one of the few companies who work on residential steam boilers. That said, I don't think enough effort was put into sourcing another part to repair the existing boiler and they rushed to tossing the baby out with the bath water. I chalk it up to an honest mistake, but it's worth being aware of.
I'll certainly be bringing them back for future work, but with a cautious stance.
