    Thank you Brian and Marty for bailing Walker out today with his hot water heater! I was amazed with how fast installation was. What a professional job!

    Very professional, reasonable and reliable. They have done work a couple different times on our Condominium thru-out our complete remodel. Very Happy. 😊

    I just used Breeding and Day for the first time and they were great especially with things being so stressful right now. They were there when they said they would be and the job was finished before I thought it would be. I will definitely use them again !

    we had you all out several years ago , and i should've complained then. i didn't as i thought i could live with the way it was done, the installation that is . but , i've aged a bit , and my frustration just boiled over today , with bloody hands and a mangled filter.

    the unit (AC Gas heater , and heat pump ) are great - they do they job , are properly sized , and the addition of return air vents in the upstairs bedrooms was a great idea and works fine.

    BUT : * the way the filter access was made , w/ sheet metal, leaves my hands bloody , the filters torn apart to get them out , and very difficult to put in : the access cut into the return duct for the filter requires me to : bend the filter , to get past some large PVC piping , , push the piping out of the way, and then down into the return air duct..
    Today i destroyed a filter trying to get it out .

    So now i will hire a sheet metal craftsman, to rework the crap i was left with.

    * the return air vents installed upstairs in the attic work great . BUT - a new return duct was needed to tie them into , as the existing t\return was too small. it was to run up from the basement , thru a 1st fl closet hugging the corner , up through the floor into a bedroom , then ducted up into the attic to tie the other 4 elephant trunks together.
    The duct was cut into the 1st floor closet hardwood floor , on the wrong end - then up into the 2nd fl bedroom , creating a bare sheet metal column in the room. it was too late to stop it , as the wood floor had been cut , and the opening into the 2nd fl bedroom was made (incorrectly as to location)

    Fortunately , i had a carpenter come in and build a cover over it . So , now i have this column , in the room , in the middle of a short wall , w/ an 8" gap between it and two walls . Had it been done properly, in the correct location, the duct would be in a corner, unobtrusive ,

    The craftsmen were nice , polite and cleanup was great. But i won't be back. i would give 5 stars on the unit installed and the return air idea , and 1 star on general craftsmanship.

    I've been around enough tin knockers in my life to know the diff. in a good quality job , and one needing to be redone. This isn't one of the good ones .

    Extremely slow service, probably cause they charge by the hour at $130/hr. And then for overtime, they charge you time for the service tech to come from where ever he is at at double that, comes to $260/hr. They love the elderly, saw a bill where they changed almost $500 to replace a toilet, and the person bought her own toilet. So if you can afford it??

    We hired Breeding & Day to relocate a 7 year old 1.5 ton air handler about 20ft to accomodate our plans for a finished basement. The original installation was a DIY job we inherited with the house and had poor placement and sketchy unsealed duct work. When Dave came out for a quote we could tell that he was very knowledgeable and really cared about the work he did. He was very detail oriented and after assessing our existing ductwork, recommended that we have all of it removed and replaced as it was not sized properly for the flow. We decided to have it done right and went with Breeding and Day even though they were more expensive than competing bids for the scope of relocating our existing equipment.

    We are so glad we made the extra investment! There was substantial difference in airflow before / after the new ductwork was installed. Despite the units age, it fired right up after the relocation and felt colder than before. We initially asked for a quote on a new compressor and handler (our system is 7 years old and uses r22 which is a discontinued refrigerent system) to which Dave refused as he said our equipment was in great shape and would not be worth the extra cost over acquiring additional r22. Other companies had tried to push us to acquire all new equipment which was significantly more expensive.

    The installation took just 2 days, looks great (much cleaner!), and runs much better. Dave and his team were hard working, transparent, and responsive to all communications. Would recommend to anyone looking for an honest contractor who cares about their work and does it the right way. Would recommend to friend and will do business again.

    Breeding and Day came out to fix a leak under my sink. Justin was so friendly, very good at his job and very informative. Fixed my sink in no time at all. Thanks Justin! Highly recommend Breeding and Day for all of your plumbing needs.

    I just recently used Breeding and Day for the first time and I had a wonderful experience! I had a pipe burst in my basement. Breeding and day was very professional and responded to my emergency very quickly. I had them out within an hour! The technician went over the cost before he performed the work. He was knowledgeable and curious. I will definitely be calling them for all my plumbing needs.

    I had a new HVAC installed last week, had a great experience with scheduling and the installation. I love the heater so far, it works much better than my last one, so far. I love the extras like the indoor unit installed in a drip pan with a moisture detector. Thanks!

    Phil responded within minutes of me reaching out when our HVAC seemingly stopped working on quite a warm day. He came within hours, was really kind and even educated us on the thermostat we have on what to expect. He did not try to charge us for anything we didn't need which so many people seem to do. Will 100% only use Tri Elite in the future

    Phil replaced my water heater and boiler, and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. If you’re on the fence and thinking about going with one of the bigger companies, choose Tri-Elite Advisors! Phil’s pricing and quality of service can’t be beaten.

    Phil did a great job with maintenance of our heating system. He was very thorough with his explanation of the problems we were experiencing and how to mitigate with repairs. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the tri-state area for maintenance, repairs and installs!

    What an awesome experience! Fair pricing and A+ service. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Not pushy at all and explained everything well. I felt at ease and like I was getting the best service out there. I've had previous bad experiences and was so happy this was smooth and easy to figure out. I couldn't imagine anyone else working on my HVAC going forward. Thank you again!

    Heat stopped working New Years Eve night, called three local companies and none had availability till Friday today being Wednesday and Holiday wasn’t looking good, not to mention 36 degrees out. Reached out to Tri-Elite and Phil called right back and was at my home within few hours. The fix was an easy one but he could have easily said it was worse than it was and I appreciated his honesty, hard to find these days. No extra charge for Holiday either which could have easily charged. Very polite and professional, great interaction, will be my HVAC professional for as long as I live in Delaware.

    Phil came to my house after I called him because my heater had completely shut down. I had used another company and after being charged $2300 and returning 3 times my heater still did not work so I decided to call Tri Elite. Phil came right over and within 45 minutes my heater was working. It's been over a week and my heater is working like a charm. Phil is honest, hard working and knows his stuff.

    Top notch HVAC expertise in the city of Wilmington! We needed extensive HVAC work that needed to be done as soon as possible, and it was a daunting prospect to find the right company for such a big project. Phil and Tri Elite Advisors made the process easy. Phil was friendly, efficient and a true master of his craft. You can tell he takes pride in his work and will readily share his knowledge in a way that homeowners can understand - he feels like a trusted friend the second you meet him! We are so happy with the end result! A huge thanks to Phil and Tom for a professional and thorough job.

    The technician who came to my house was extremely knowledgeable and explained things very well. Awesome customer service, customer friendly. Delivered extremely bad news to me but made me feel like 'it will be okay". Hope you folks will continue to be customer friendly and help me finance the extremely costly quote that I was given that was totally shocking and very eye opening. Please finance me, please !!!! Thanks to the technician, he was awesome

    Arrived within the time frame with phone calls keeping me posted, very nice. Plumbers were professional, curteous and explained everything they would do, answered all my questions and dialoged about plumbing. They had extensive work to clear the clog and still the same flat price quoted to begin. Very pleased with the service. Thank you.
