Reviews of local pros in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

What an amazing company...
Our living room turned out better than we could have even imagined..the service was reasonably priced, very professional and everything was done in excellence..
highly recommend..

Integrity Contracting did an outstanding job remodeling my first floor and renovating my lower level, including adding a guest room. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and highly skilled.

They installed beautiful wood flooring throughout my home, completely transforming the look and feel of the space. The custom fireplace buildout in my living room was a true showpiece - they didn’t just execute the design, they elevated it. The final result brought my vision to life even better than I imagined.

The project was completed quickly without sacrificing quality, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stand out. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Integrity Contracting for any home renovation project.

Great people to deal with! Greg was very professional and everything we needed he delivered. The day of install Greg and his crew removed and installed
I am a very Happy Customer!

Great Service!

My furnace broke down on Christmas night with temps in the teens. I called Admiral and they picked up right away. Brian came out within an hour and got everything fixed quickly. Great company and great service.

Professional, quality work, and great service & rates. Provided helpful information and guidance when our air conditioner went... They were personable and ensured we were happy with our new unit.

Dangerous, unethical - buyer beware. find a real pro & keep your family safe.
Admiral installed new Lennox furnace without measuring for what size would be safe. Within first 2 years, it began leaking carbon monoxide - levels too low to set off our alarms, but high enough to cause serious harm (3 children). By the grace of angels we discovered the leak as almost became fatal.
When Admiral came back, they guaranteed "with 100% certainty" that it was a cracked heat exchanger (which they later denied when it was convenient for them). They agreed (after an unprofessional argument) to replace the furnace (still under warranty) only with the exact same size furnace. Our home had all symptoms of oversizing (a known cause of cracked heat exchanger in a new furnace), so we were scared to replace it with the same furnace without first making sure it was safe for our home. Asked Admiral about the sizing, part-owner Brian glanced up at our basement ceiling & said, "eh, looks ok." We asked them to do measurements according the Lennox manufacturer recommendation for safety. Admiral strangely refused, stating they "will absolutely not be doing a load calculation." (Why??)
Fast forward - We had an actual expert come to do the load calculation which confirmed that Admiral’s furnace was dangerously large for our home. Also strangely, the manufacturer Lennox offered Admiral a check for $4k to refund us for the death trap they sold us, but Admiral refused this, too.
PA Lennox rep Chris Vicari preferred to do nothing in regards to ensuring the safety of families with Lennox products, his main concern was losing his commissions from Admiral.
Throughout our experience, Admiral never once showed concern for our family, never once apologized, never asked if we were ok or any other questions of concern about our serious health issues from this, spoke condescendingly & insulting while we were scared going through crisis, were difficult at every step as we tried to make sure our family was safe with basic industry standard safety requests, reminded us repeatedly what a favor they were doing for us by doing the bare minimum that they could get away with, & were perfectly content to leave us high & dry with permanently injured children. They truly didn't care.
I will never understand why they refused to do the right thing & just measure properly when given the 2nd chance to make sure we were safe. They felt fine reinstalling the same dangerously oversized furnace in a home with my 3 babies, without looking into a likely cause at a traumatized family’s request. It baffles me. This is not a difficult calculation... it is standard in HVAC. I am not HVAC & was able to do the load calculation myself without struggle... I ended up with the same number that the pros got. The owner acted like it was so hard to do, while at the same time condescendingly pointing out what an expert he was.
Owner Steve Ubinger only believes that other men are worth his time & has no empathy... arguing, condescending the day after it was confirmed that I nearly lost my life & that my babies would need care for permanent injury... we were scared in crisis & looking to him to make sure we were safe - a chance to make this right, after the original lazy work that led to this life altering situation (because, they're such "experts" they don't need to bother with those pesky safety standards - they can just eye it, as they explained.) Steve really said "funny I’ve been in HVAC for 30 years & u have been researching for 2 days", heartless, much? (Steve, no one does better research than a worried mother).
his son/partner Brian Ubinger acts like he knows everything, but is almost too incompetent to even have a conversation. He's lucky his dad gave him a job because he'd have trouble elsewhere with his attitude.
These are NOT people you want near your family. It's money & pride over everything for them. Still waiting on that apology, Steve, & in case it ever occurred to you to ask how any of us are doing health wise, the answer is - not well. But I know you won't bother to ask.

I recently had Admiral Heating and Cooling install a new Lennox high efficiency heating system in my home. I was extremely happy with the entire process. The timeliness, quality of work, and care taken in my new home was very impressive. I will continue to use Admiral for all of my heating and cooling needs. Much thanks to the entire Ubinger family.

We had used Admiral Heating and Cooling Co. a few times over the past three years for both furnace and air conditioning problems. Having been pleased with the prompt service, fair price and their standing behind their work we recently had them install a new Lennox furnace. Again we were very satisfied with the installation, cost and the performance of the new furnace. We would recommend Admiral to anyone needing either repair or replacement of furnace or their air conditioner.

I have used Admiral Heating and Cooling for both air conditioning and heating for about 30 years and have always been pleased with their service. They are honest, reliable, and can be counted on to do the job right and at a fair price.

Admiral did a great job replacing our furnace and a/c unit. The crew was efficient and friendly. Very personable and professional. I highly recommend them.

Working on a building next door and multiple people from Admiral H&C jumped over the fence into my back yard without even knocking on the door or asking permission. Went to let my three dogs outside and there were just two men with a bunch of ladders in my yard. Very unprofessional. Felt very unsafe in my own back yard because strangers thought it would be ok to hop a fence. After confronting them they did not leave. Not sure what else to do besides document this.

I have used Admiral Heating and Cooling for over 25 years both professionally and residentially. Any time that there has been a problem, they have responded with in 24 hours, whether a pilot light issue or replacing a furnace in the middle of winter. When I needed them to add UV light protection and HEPA filters to my office units, they handled the upgrades professionally and in a timely manner. I first started using Admiral with Mr Ubinger and Steve has continued the wonderful relationship. Thank you to Admiral Heating and Cooling and the Ubingers

I needed a consult on moving a radiator. They called me right back and set up an appointment. Greg took his time, explained all the pipes involved and what it would entail. He was honest, courteous and knowledgeable. Great company all around!

Admiral Heating and Cooling is a 5 star service company. They just installed a new furnace and air conditioner for me. They worked quickly and professionally. The job was done in no time. There was no mess or bother. When they were finished it was if they had never been there EXCEPT that I had a new furnace and air conditioner.

I had an issue in the middle of the night and Googled 24 hr repair and Admiral came back with the highest reviews, and now I know why! I got a call back within 20min(remember this is at 3am Saturday)and spoke with Brian. He gave me some advice over the phone and said he would call me later in the morning. He did just that. Came over around 8am and knew instantly what was wrong. Had me running in 5 minutes! He didn't collect a dime at the time and gave some options on what to do come Monday since we couldn't get a part until then. He followed up first thing Monday. Very fair pricing and truly exceptional customer service that's hard to find these days. Don't stress like I did in the wee hours worried about my family, these guys will take care of you!!
Cheers

Had a really good experience 2 years ago when I called with an AC problem and left a positive review on yelp. However over the winter I called because my blower motor had burnt up over night. I was pretty sure the blower motor was the issue prior to calling, but I'm no pro. So after the tech diagnosed the blower motor was the problem he proceeded to give me a quote after acting as if this was a rare blower motor that he was going to have to drive across the country to get. After I asked for a parts and labor breakdown it was reviled to me that the blower motor cost was going to be $350, I had just priced them online for $100. this was a Friday after noon I called first thing in the morning and was not an emergency at all. $X- service call fine, $X-labor fine, $250 MARK UP ON A BLOWER MOTOR YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!!!! So I paid the service fee and sent him on his way. Being it was Friday I couldn't get the blower motor via mail order till Tuesday. So end of the day I was able to make some calls find a contractor that could get me the part very locally (like down the street, several in stock 3 if I remember correctly) for $150 and some change and install it myself in 10 min. Maybe it was just this tech thats trying to gouge customers, I'm not sure but I do not recommend them for this reason. I have a current issue and searching for a new contractor reminded me of this experience,

I called one evening and our service man, Pat, helped my husband try to fix the issue over phone but when that didn't work, he came the next morning to service the furnace. He was professional, friendly, informative and all around a great guy the whole time! He didn't get annoyed that I hadn't had it serviced in years and fixed the issue affordably. I will ONLY call Admiral in the future for all our HVAC needs.

Reliable, trustworthy, honest, friendly company. Highly recommend them. My a/c was going down fast....I called them last Tuesday or Wednesday they came out the same day to measure and put the new unit in this morning. And to top it off, they honored a quote they gave me from June 2015. Thank you Steve, Greg, and Dave (with a D) for making my house cool again. You guys are the best!!!

Our home is now 20 years old and in need of a new and improved HVAC unit. We chose Admiral to do the work. Scheduling was quick and easy, the installation was done by a team of professionals and the work area was left cleaner than when the installation was started. BTW, the cost was fair and reasonable.
My wife and I would recommend Admiral to anyone in need of HVAC needs. We are completely satisfied.

I was so pleased with this company after my experience with another well known heating and cooling company. Each person was courteous and the technicians were very professional. I had 2 Lennox furnaces installed on each side of a duplex on the same day. Their price was fantastic and I couldn't be happier with this company. They even had to move some things for me to get to the old furnace and they did it with a smile. I would highly recommend Admiral Heating anytime.

I can’t say enough good about this company! When I moved to Pittsburgh in 2007 and purchased my house I started immediately having furnace problems. I didn’t know who to call, so I saw a commercial on tv for a horrible deceptive company that begins with a “G”. They told me I had a carbon monoxide leak, and shut my furnace down. Someone told the to call Admiral Heating. They came in my house, there was no carbon monoxide leak, it was a 50.00 fix. Company “G” wanted to install a whole new furnace unnecessarily. Since then they have installed a new furnace and new air conditioning unit. Always fair prices. Anytime I call for service, they are there the same day! Highly recommended!!
