We were taken advantage of from a Jacksonville company when we needed help. DO NOT use this company for any plumbing, cooling or heating needs even if it’s an emergency. Please read the following: We called FENWICK for assistance with our HVAC. During a recent cold snap our HVAC system froze and required immediate attention. A technician arrived and said he couldn’t work on the system until it was defrosted. If it wasn’t frosted that night, he wasn’t sure when he or any other associate could return. He said it would cost $188.00 to defrost the system. For over an hour the associate and I, in freezing temperatures, late in the evening, using hot water from our bathroom tub and our buckets, defrosted the unit. He diagnosed the problem and said we needed a Heat Pump Defroster Sensor. (part number: HH18HA279). The part had to be ordered and would take 5 to 7 days and the part would cost $441.00. Installation could take another 5 to 7 days. FENWICK charged us $89.00 for the service visit and $188.00 to defrost the unit. The part was installed about a week later. While waiting for the part I went to their web site and found that 3 coupons were available but were not offered. We asked the technician why he didn’t offer the coupons to which he replied “that’s up to you”. I took a photo of the part number and found that the part was sold by FACTORY AUTHORIZED PARTS. I found the part on-line for $31.00 and that it was available from Amazon and could be delivered free the next day. The final cost was $490.00 for the installation of a $31.00 part. After questioning the cost, FENWICK offered to waive the $89.00 service fee and offered to honor the coupons we found on-line from their web site. Our final cost was $530.00 ($342.00 plus $188.00) for the service call. Caveat Emptor!

My technician was the best! He was very helpful and very informative about the job, unit and cost. I wish to thank him very much on the great job and customer service.

Crooks… first off did a gas line extension which had a leak. On 3 occasions they could not find the leak and my wife bought a simple sniffer and found it… when they finally sent someone with the right tools and experience he quickly was able to fix it. That could’ve been disastrous. Called them for a quote to replace about 20 feet of drain pipe. They quoted $12,000 for what was a $2000 job with everybody else

Ron Ayers has been doing my plumbing jobs, for a few yrs now with Fenwick. He's reliable, on time and gets the job done correctly.

I’m so glad I chose to go with your services! The two men who serviced my phone were able to identify the plumbing problem right away, explained everything to me, and fixed the issue promptly. Very professional and kind! Michael Bowen is the guy to go to with all your home fixing issues! Thank you!
