federal tax credits

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed February 17, 2009 by President Obama. This act provided additional tax credits above those available in 2008. The new tax credits are designed to assist the home owner improve the energy efficiency of their home and a number of air conditioning, heating and water heaters qualify. Currently these credits are good for up to $1500 or 30% of the installed cost and must be installed in your principal residence by December 31, 2010 (for most items).

HVAC TAX CREDITS
When you choose ARS^® / Rescue Rooter^® to install your new energy efficient air conditioning and heating system, your ARS comfort advisor can show you several options including systems that could be included in the HVAC tax credit program. Installing these energy efficient systems can save money with improved energy efficiency and provide additional savings when you file your taxes.

WATER HEATER TAX CREDITS
Tired of waiting for your turn to get a shower because someone used up the hot water? A tankless water heater heats water on demand and takes less space than a conventional 40 gallon water heater. These energy efficient units only heat the water when you need it and many qualify for tankless water heater tax credits as well.

The tax credits for HVAC and water heaters have had several revisions since the act was first passed so we recommend checking with your tax preparer on the proper information you need to take advantage of air conditioning tax credits this summer or heating tax credits this fall.
Contact ARS^® / Rescue Rooter^® for an evaluation on your HVAC systems and water heaters, and start saving today!

Today I had the pleasure of working with ARS, and your service tech, Lawrence. He was professional, cordial and promoted trust and confidence. You can be assured I will not only use the services of ARS in the future, but will recommend ARS, and Lawrence to others who may be in need of A/C services.

Susan H. Houston, TX

I would like to take this opportunity to comment on Miguel, who worked tirelessly to find and correct a serious a/c problem that has plagued me for months. He was patient, courteous and very, very thorough. I also appreciate the attention your company gave to solving my problems. Thank you.

Celester B. Houston, TX

I wanted to write to commend the repairmen on the job they did for us on 2/6/08 in replacing the coil for the a/c unit. I hope you will pass this on to the two gentlemen who performed this repair service. They are to be commended. We will use ARS again in the future.

Debbie M. Houston, TX

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the recent service (10/13/08) I received from your company and in particular from Dennis. I could not have asked for a more professional technician. Your staff and propmpt access to service is truly an example of a well run organization.

Kathleen P. Missouri City, TX

I'm writing to praise your staff on the service given to me on Jan 3, 2010. Mike came to my rescue and he explained the problem with the shower faucet. Your company is fortunate to have a capable employee and helpful staff. I will continue to be a customer and recommend your company to anyone I know.

Ruth S. San Leandro, CA

Thank you for your wonderful service that I received today and the professional technician that came to my home. I am away on business and our heat went out, with my 83 year old mother and son alone in the home. Your service dispatcher was the best and guided me through the whole process of getting our system back in working order. I cannot say enough about the way the technician performed a wonderful job.

Keith S. Stafford, VA

I just wanted to commend 2 of your Service Agents in the Plumbing Division in Houston, James and his partner Darren...I cannot praise James and Darren enough for their tireless efforts, wonderful attitude and skill in getting this job done and my home safe for my family again, I will always call ARS for my service needs and will always demand James and Darren! You are so fortunate to have 2 men such as these on your team as they are the best PR any firm could have! I have told my entire neighborhood and all my friends about them and to ask for them by name! Many thanks to James and Darren!

Glenda G. Houston, TX

This is to advise you of an error when contacted this morning by a customer service poll. The response to both questions should have been a 5 out of 5 and not a 4 and a 2. The service technician, Daniel, that arrived at our house at 2:00 am December 13, 2009, was courteous and did a terrific job.

Mike C. Garland, TX

I want to compliment you on the quality service I received from ARS and an exceptional employee named Josh. Josh has been to my home several times for repairs. I specifically requested him for my most recent repair as the last time he was here in August 2009 he provided quality customer service and repair. Josh informed me of everything he was doing and educated me on the repairs to be made. He spent time with me, explaining everything. His guidance and education was very professional and well received. I just wanted to thank you and extend my appreciation of Josh and the services that he and your company provided.

Karen D. Austin, TX

I just wanted to say a grateful thank you for your wonderful service techs who handled our Toilet problem on December 4, 2009. My call was answered promptly and the tech showed up on time. when he found a problem bigger than he could handle a supervisor was called and he showed up promptly - discussed what needed to be done and he called the specialist (D Moody) was called in. This man was a life saver - he arrived in a timely manner, looked the problem over and decided he could fix the toilet problem with out cutting a hole in the floor, digging out the concrete and then replacing the piping and concrete and had my bathroom up and working within several hours instead of 6 or 7 hours and at half the cost anticipated if the floor had to be cut. D. Moody is an older man who has a vast amount of experience with plumbing problems and is not afraid to try something. Your guys are great - keep up the good work and I will keep your number handy for ever.

Rob B. Dallas, TX

Just wanted to say that today I got great service, as I have many times before from Rescue Rooter. Ken was outstanding.

Reed R. Los Gatos, CA

I wanted to write and compliment the service received today from Gary; Gary has serviced our HVAC in the past and is always polite; quick; and leaves the work area better than he found it. If possible we would like to have Gary assigned to future HVAC visits to our home.

Kent D. Mokena, IL

Thank you for the great service. Your technician, Domingo (#159) did an outstanding job. He was courteous ,professional, competent, and most of all left his work area clean. Thank you.

Randall G. Houston, TX

I wanted to compliment your company and your service tech Justin for the exceptional job he did today. I received prompt, friendly service and Justin could not have been more professional. He told me upfront what he was going to do, and completed the job in a timely matter. I have been in the customer service business for over 30 years and truly know the importance of a great employee and Justin exceeded all my expectations. Thanks Rescue Rooter and Justin!

Jeff B. Bountiful, UT

I would like to commend the service department in the Nashville office for making us, your customer, a happy one. We had a water stain on our ceiling due to an ARS service call. Your company assured us they would correct the problem which they did in a timely manner. Joe came out and repainted the affected area. A job well done. Thank you.

Charles D. Franklin, TN

I am writing to tell you about the tech that just serviced our heater for the fall. His name was Chris and his Tech # was 4165. I wanted to tell you what a great person he is! He was friendly, kind, and hard working! Even my 9 month old daughter thought he was great! He was great at telling me the things to watch for and even offered ideas of what we should have done next for our heater. He did a wonderful job!

Julia M. Richardson, TX

I would like to convey to American Residential Services (ARS) my appreciation of Mr. James. I recently had some work performed by ARS that was difficult to diagnose and frustrating to repair. I explained my concerns to James in a telephone conversation, in which he offered to come to my residence to observe the work in progress. James, accompanied by an ARS Technician arrived at my house within an hour. James introduced himself, outlined the problems and assured me that the job would be completed -- and finished correctly! While I was very impressed with James' knowledge of various plumbing problems, I was more impressed with his strong interpersonal skills. James expresses himself very well and his desire to make 'things right' for the customer are refreshing in today's commercial world. In my opinion, ARS is fortunate to have the talents of James.

Richard H. Pawleys Island, SC

Had the nicest experience w/one of your ARS Houston plumbers on Fri. fixing a blockage. He was a very knowledgeable and experienced plumber and very very helpful. His name was Josh, Dispatch No. 156. He gave me suggestions on how to avoid a blockage and tips on my old plumbing. He even was neat and tidy! Thank you - I'll definitely call ARS again

Sharon F. Houston, TX

I am writing this comment to commend the service team that came to install the new boiler. They were so very professional and engaging and worked seamlessly as they removed the old boiler and installed the new one. Their names are Rocky and Ryan and they represented your company with flying colors. I will definately recommend ARS as a result of the extreemly efficient, engaging, and professional service provided by Rocky and Ryan...they both should be commended.

David H. Washington, D.C.

Thanks so much for sending 2 very nice and professional employees to do such a great job!

William G. Indianapolis, IN

Frank T. Indianapolis, IN

Bill & Jason were very professional and took the time to answer all questions I asked. Both techs were also very nice guys as well. A dream team for sure!

Hannon Indianapolis, IN

Tom, Andy, Doug and Roy all did a great job... and since I always trust Tom for my home's heating and cooling, I am very happy with the service I received. Thanks for a job well done!

Judy J. Indianapolis, IN

On Tuesday, December 22, one of your very efficient technicians came and adjusted the filter enclosure; installed an "off-the-shelf" filter; gave me three more filters to use; and showed me how to change the filter correctly. As usual, the technician was very polite, helpful and efficient.

Mary D. Deerfield, IL

Mr. Dave came by our home yesterday evening to inspect our system. He said it would take few days for him to email his proposal and I have no idea if I need a new system or if I can afford it, but I wanted to give some feedback on Dave. In short Dave is a very positive ambassador for your Company. He was professional and very polite and my instincts tell me he is as honest as the day is long. I don't know if we need to replace the unit now, but eventually it will have to be replaced and this individual has made a powerful, positive impression.

Tim S. Raleigh, NC

I would like to compliment technician 274 for a great job! I appreciate the timely completion, excellent workmanship, and professionalism he showed when he arrived at my home. He immediately went to work on the heating unit and would not give up until he found the problem. I will highly recommend ARS to family and friends.

Verna G. Raleigh, NC

Thanks for being so very prompt with your service. I can recommend you to the world! I really appreciate your services.

Verna B. Charleston, SC

Tom & Roy were the absolute BEST installers that I have ever experienced. Tom & Roy should be used as the standard that all other ARS installers are graded against.

Terrie E. Indianapolis, IN

I want to thank you for the service you did for my elderly mother on 4-10-09 in Houston. She has had a leaky tub faucet for years and your man came out (within 2 hours), looked at it, adjusted the spring inside and it was fixed. He didn't charge her and wouldn't take a tip. I don't know his name, but he took a very large concern off a little old lady's shoulders and you should commend him for not taking advantage of the situation. I will keep your name and phone number in my book for any future repairs at her home and mine.

Susan S. Houston, TX

Yesterday I had a new gas furnace installed. I would like to compliment the two gentlemen that performed the work. They did any outstanding job from start to finish. The names of the two gentlemen are Marty and Joe and they work out of the Manassas, VA., office. The job number was 83791. I would appreciate this e-mail being sent to their home office with them being congratulated on a job well done.

Susan F. Manassas, VA

I am always pleased with the technicians who service my furnace. Plus, your answering service is very professional and helpful.

Shirley L. Indianapolis, IN

We had a half inch pipe split on us while we were out last night. We shut off the water and called to schedule a plumber and got a call back right away. John was very professional and courteous. He did a great job very quickly. He gave us some great advice on helping make sure this does not happen again. He was great and just though you should know.

Scott S. Seattle, WA

Your technicians were professional and outstanding in their work installing my air conditioner!

Myrna B. Indianapolis, IN

American Home Shield sent ARS/Rescue Rooter out on APRIL 18, 2009, and in less then one hour your technician (Kenneth) had not only discovered the problem, but he contacted the manufacture and received a replacement number for a new water heater...Kenneth is a very good person and he did ever thing he could to help me get my problem solved.

Lee F. Houston, TX

We are writing to let you know how pleased we were with the installer Les from your shop #5 that installed our new hot water heater. He was very courteous, helpful and was just a pleasure to work with because he never showed any fustration in doing his job, as so many other plumbers do when a job does go well. We would certainly recommend Les to a job for any of our friends.

Keith W. Corona, CA

I just wanted to write a short note to thank you for your wonderful service today. Luke was very professional and very helpful. He's a real asset to your company. I really appreciate the high level of service your company provided and look forward to using your company again in the future.

Kathleen S. Las Vegas, NV

The service technician, Justin (San Diego office), exceeded my expectations in every way. He was professional, polite and seemed to show a genuine concern for my plumbing issue. I have never had a plumber been so clean and thorough with their work. Justin quietly fixed the problem allowing me to work from home basically undisturbed. When the work was complete, the bathroom was left clean with everything in it's place.

Kathleen B. San Diego, CA

Thanks for doing a great job Rescue Rooter! I talked to Joe in Las Vegas at 2:30 in the morning when our tub broke. He was able to help me shut off the water just before the water overflowed and the handle burst off, saving us $125 in an emergency drive to the house (not to mention the fix of the tub, but also the flooding repairs that would happen to the house). He also kept things calm while I was stressed out. He gave very detailed, yet clear information. Then Lane (from Phoenix) came to do the repair and did all the running around trying to find the correct piece for us. All this great help with the stress of moving really lightened our spirits. Everyone was a great help!

Kat G. Phoenix, AZ

I just want to thank you for sending Eric out. He was great. Very nice man. Thank you for the quick service. Will use you again and recommended anybody to you. Thanks again.

Karen S. Houston,TX

I am writing to give an excellent performance rating to your team who handled my install today. The crew (Rich, Reed & Eugene) arrived at 8am (-25 deg F temperature), shut down the old system, removed it, and had the new furnace installed and up and running in less than 3 hours. (New AC compressor also installed).

John B. Itasca, IL

I wanted to let Management and Customer Service know of our exceptional experience with one of your Service Plumbers today. We were extremely pleased with your employee, Mike, and the friendly and professional way he handled our plumbing needs today...I would recommend ARS to others for that reason.

Jim C. Raleigh, NC

I wish to compliment the recent service involving a water heater installation by your service tech Todd (tech no. 1458). Todd was very professional in explaining my options and what he could do for me. The installation was timely and professionally done. My experience with ARS has been very positive. Thanks again.

Jeffrey G. Indianapolis, IN

The guys, Larry and Michael, that came out to put in the system were awesome. They were clean cut and nice guys. They worked until very late Friday night, but they got it going. I just wanted to thank ya'll again for the recent experience. We were very impressed with how things worked out. We really appreciated how quickly you got our 'Heat Pump' replaced.

Jeff S. Columbia, SC

Both technicians were excellent workers. We have always been very pleased with ARS service.

James B. Indianapolis, IN

I would like to commend the two installers on the excellent work they performed to install our new furnace and air conditioner. These technicians were very professional, knowledgeable and polite. They were also very conscientious in making sure tarps were laid to protect the floors.

Elvin W. Indianapolis, IN

I just wanted to comment on the repair service I just received from your company regarding a plumbing leak at my house. Your technician, Keith, was dispatched to my home early this a.m. He was very professional and friendly and was able to very quickly locate our problem. He had to leave to get parts and was back in no time able to repair the leak. I will recommend him and your company to our friends that have plumbing needs.

Drue P. Austin, TX

I would like to commend the work of Hector and Gil during this project. They were professional, neat, courteous and sensitive to the concerns of the homeowner. I would not hesitate to recommend ARS to my neighbors who will certainly require this service in the future.

Bruce L. San Diego, CA

ARS last week installed a new boiler in my home. Glenn and Andre, the technicians who performed the installation, were terrific. They were friendly, professional, and competent. Moreover, when they were delayed by various complications on the project, they stayed well into the evening, leaving at 9PM only after completing the job.

Brian S. Laurel, MD

I have never had more honest, hard working people at my house. I am continually impressed with ARS' high standards. You hit a home run every time!
