  NEVER CALL HL BOWMAN!! Charged $18,000 for a liner to be placed inside my main sewer line. Invoice stated that they pulled ALL permits for the job. They didn't. The township will not issue a Certificate of Completion. If I sell the house in the future I must disclose all this or legal action can be taken by the buyer post-sale for up to 10 years. This can affect property value, insurance coverage and the ability to sell the house in the future.The Lifetime Warranty says I agreed that only Bowman can service the sewer in the future or the warranty is voided. I NEVER AGREED TO THAT. It doesn't cover an act of God. The warranty is not transferable. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE WARRANTY. 3 things. All good for them. Nothing good for me. I never even saw this idiotic warranty until 5 days after they left. Unbelievable how deceitful HL Bowman is. NEVER CALL THESE PEOPLE!!! They act like they're doing you a favor by trying to fix everything as quickly as possible for your convenience. What they're really doing is trying to get in, get out and get away with their $$ as quickly as possible. It seems that HL Bowman is get rich quick thieves. Don't call them! They have no moral compass. This behavior is shameful and unforgivable.Didn't want to give a star but had to.

  Friendly but very overpriced and tried to sell service that wasn't needed. Tried to oversell a plumbing fix by saying they needed to repipe our whole basement. Next contractor I had for the estimate said there was not even a leak and what we were seeing was condensation and all that was needed was insulation on water lines. The technician from HL Bowman never even mentioned that fix and wanted to repair things that didn't even need to be repaired. ******.

  Buyer beware of warranty claims they make and put on their contract/invoice. They type in in their 'Peace of Mind Protection' section that you get X number of years of part and labor. What they do not tell until after the job is complete and in a email... That you need to purchase their *** program each year in order to maintain the labor warranty that is defined in the 'Peace of mind protection' section. No reference that *** is required in addition for all X years of labor warranty.Maintenance Value Plan Your Maintenance Value Plan covers any equipment that we installed. The *** entitles you to guaranteed 24-hour service and discounted pricing on any services/repairs. You are also entitled to seasonal complimentary tune *** and your choice of an electrical or plumbing inspection. *** expiration notifications and tune up reminders will be sent via text/email but it is your responsibility to schedule those appointment and/or renew your plan. ******** If your HVAC purchase came with a labor warranty longer than 1 year, the warranty will extend each year ONLY when the *** is renewed each year. **If the *** is not renewed, the labor warranty will be voided**I would not purchase from them again.

  Well unfortunately I can not actually give a kind or good review because after a month and a half I'm still waiting for the job I paid for to be finished up! Now not real good for your business to treat consumers in this way! Remember word of mouth means alot. Soon I'm going to have to get mean and start a social media rampage. Hopefully this will end up a happy celebration for me!

  Had my prepaid A/C service done, was told the capacitor was bad, I asked how much it would be and he said $294. They were already here, so that should've eliminated and service charge, should not have been any truck or trip fees, I have a maintenance agreement with them as well as being a senior! The part is a $20 part and it took 10 minutes to replace it, be careful with this company because their prices are ridiculously high and higher than most other companies! Customers are not 1st with this company!! I was quoted by 2 other companies that would have had a service charge along with other fees and they were still significantly lower!

  Very unhappy with cost of repair. Charged my 90 yo father $362.73 for replacement of cartridge for handle faucet and they don't itemize bill. Looked up part cost and $60.00 - why the $300 charge for the work when he was only there 20 minutes. Father had no email however never sent invoice although he did sign the tablet for the work. Would never use a company that will not itemize their labor / parts so that you know what you are paying for. Will never use again ever.

  They're cheating. I had a water leakage from my water heater. When I called them, I was told the only option is to replace. Technician shut off heat water to house and electricity to water heater reasoning that it is dangerous otherwise we might get electrocuted and as per the guideline he has to do it and left us without hot water and the only option for me was to accept the quote he gave to replace water heater. I had no doubt about their service up until this point.Later the following week, I called them to check on my AC unit because I felt it was noisier during last summer. Technician directly came to my furnace unit and wanted to check that as well. I said ok. After checking he said he noticed a crack in the outlet and CO level is higher and it needs to be immediately replaced. He gave me quote for few more thousand dollars and he shut off gas line to furnace reasoning the same: it is dangerous and as per the guidelines he has to do it. At this point, something triggered I told NO to his quote and did not go with replacement. He shut off the gas line to furnace and left. After that I called *********, they found no CO leakage and no crack on the same spot where HL Bowman said there was a crack. To my surprise, the technician from HL Bowman disconnected some wires inside the unit and turned of inside switch as well without informing me all these things what he did inside the unit. When technician from ********* opened the unit, he found all these and fixed them.I feel HL Bowman is scaring people with life/death situation and earning money out of people's fear.

  Worst experience. Was told my heater had a crack and needed to be repaired ($6000) or replaced ($10000+) immediately. Technician also asked me if I was married and would my husband be home to help make the decision. Are you kidding me???? Brought in a different highly recommended person from another company. No crack. Simple clogged tubing. Terrible, money-grabbing company. Would give 0 stars if I could.

  Very unprofessional! Spoke with so many people and my hole in my wall is still not fixed! Let blood in my bathroom, dirt on my carpet, dark spot on my carpet, left stool and cover of my fire alarm off and on stool, used my toilet, it was still running when I came home. Black marks on my front door. My porch was a mess. Furniture wasn’t put back, dirt and old parts left on my porch. Dented my new outdoor candle.
