”We recently purchased an older home in Gainesville, FL and needed a contractor to attend to several issues. John installed a whole house generator with LP gas tank and gas lines, installed a whole house dehumidifier, rewired our main electrical box, and did other projects, small and large, around the home. He always puts an emphasis on doing the job correctly which when you are dealing with electricity, this is so important. He addressed the issues that we thought were a problem but he would show us any potential problems but with no pressure from him to fix them. We highly recommend John Comly and Heritage Mechanical Services. He is certified as a mechanical, electrical, plumbing, gas and building contractor and holds many more state licenses such as solar and HVAC. He is prompt, knowledgeable, professional and courteous. He also responds to all phone calls and texts in a very timely manner!”

”This company is a great company and will be apart of our family forever. Mr John install a new generator in our home but the pride and compassion he displays in his work speaks volumes , he also displays this with his customers. My husband and I were very frustrated with other companies including home warranty companies giving us the run around that left us on the losing end. Mr John came right in was very honest and committed to doing the job right, He also stepped in at the right time prior to me having major surgery and fixed an air conditioning issue that warranty company failed to provide a solution in a timely manner, he prevented me from having to stay in a hotel trying to recover from surgery. He truly cares about people. I really appreciate this company and would recommend them to everyone, if you are looking for fair and honest people, choose this company ♥️”

”Had 2 other companies that tried to repair my older generator, both stated I needed a new generator about $14,000. 00. Heard radio ad about Heritage, I called them. 2hrs later the generator was running great. That was 6 months ago. No doubt Heritage knows generator’s. Highly recommended them to anyone.”

“Had Heritage come out for a service on my Kohler home generator. Jonathan called ahead of time, arrived on time and serviced the machine promptly. Greatly appreciated his willingness to explain to me what he did and why, and then walked me through the process of self-evaluating and testing the generator. Explained to me what to look out for and when the next preventive maintenance was required. Outstanding service at a reasonable price.... Happy Customer...... Five Stars *****”

“If you want it done correctly, and if you want it done timely, Heritage is the way to go. I have lived in this area for 25 years now and reliable contractors have been hard to find at best. John and his crew installed a stand-by generator for me recently, and I was totally impressed by his knowledge, his crews work ethic, plus his focus on quality and detail. Simply put, Heritage (John) is my go-to contractor going forward… very impressed!”

“I hired John to install a generator, but when I realized that he had the ability to do so many things, I also hired him to install a tankless water heater. He was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the job. He also was able to get the job completed with many obstacles, not the least being the shutdown during the virus. I would recommend him to my friends and family.”

“I have been using John’s services on my property and my rental property since 2006. He has done work for me in many areas from electrical (rewiring a barn and storage buildings, installing a property gate, upgrading an electrical service from 200 amps to 400 amps, replacement of my old original 200 amp circuit panel as well as installation of a new 2nd 200 amp service panel to support the requirements of my hobby, hooking up a hot tub, etc), to installing a new 20 kw whole property generator. I had propane gas added to the property and John did all the installation enabling the converting from electric to gas cooking, water heating, clothes dryer, and generator fuel. 2 years ago he was my General Contractor for 2 major bathroom renovations, including replacing 2 electric hot water heaters with 2 tankless gas hot water heaters and re plumbing all the water pipes for the house. Last year when my A/C died, John installed a new 4 ton heat pump and upgraded my duct work to improve my environment comfort. When I have needed work done in areas that John does not do, he always hooks me up with quality contractors that are licensed and insured (concrete work, tile work, hard coating and painting, well/pump, etc). His prices are always fair and he sticks to a schedule. He is meticulous across all his skills. The quality of his work is the best. His reputation for quality work that is always done to code means successful inspections with county inspectors. This helps keep the project on time. No lost time due to a failed inspection that requires rework time. It matters not what I need done, John is my go-to person to get it done or to get a referral to a competent contractor that specializes in the work that I need done. I can not recommend John enough.”

“The summer of 2019, we needed to replace our 10 year old whole-house home generator. After calling other companies we decided to use Heritage Mechanical for several reasons: 1. John, in doing his estimate, was very thorough in explaining what needed to be done in the way of installation, as many things had changed in regards to requirements and inspections since we had the first generator installed. As he was explaining things, I became more aware and comfortable with his knowledge and expertise. Other companies did not provide us with such complete information. 2. John gave us many different options for generators and configurations. The price quote John gave us was middle of the road in comparison to the other companies. 3. Heritage Mechanical was able to schedule our job on a timely basis, before Hurricane Season really became active. Other companies would have to put us on a 6 month waiting list. John and his crew installed a whole-house home generator for us in July, 2019. John was clear in what we should expect before they started. His crew was professional and did an excellent, complete job. December, 2019 – We had John come to check on the generator because we thought it had not done its weekly test. He scheduled a time, and was prompt in his arrival. Once again, he was thorough in his examination of the generator and in his explanation to me.”

“I could write a long review explaining in detail how superior Heritage Mechanical is. But the list is too long. After two other estimates on a generator install, it was obvious Heritage was the most knowledgeable. And boy was I right, and they were the only ones that were able to connect the gas line. Save time, just call Heritage. Yes they were the highest price, but worth every bit of it. Thank you John.”

Sir John ,the knight of knowledge is thee man for all my electric requirements . Make him yours too and rest easy.”

“We highly recommend using the services of Heritage Mechanical Services. We wanted a whole house generator, and John Comly himself came to our home and reviewed our home for the installation. We were quoted and an appointment set. We were more than impressed with the trucks that arrived to deliver and install our whole house generator. Each truck was impressively stocked and organized with every single tool or part that would or could be used during the installation. Very impressive!! Our installation went flawlessly, the quality of the generator and the attention to the visual appearance of the finished job has left us with pride and confidence in what Heritage Mechanical Services did for us. John Comly reviewed all aspects of the generator with us, he pulled all the permits and set an appointment for inspection. We’ve never had a more satisfying professional experience with a company.”

“I can’t say enough good things about this company and the owner, John! He has installed 4 generators for me and my family over the past 3 years. He did some new lighting installation for my Mom.

“John Comly recently installed a generator at our home. I am glad to give him my highest recommendation and can only repeat the superlatives which have appropriately been offered by other reviewers. From the first time I communicated with John, it was clear he is a very knowledgeable, personable professional. During his initial site inspection, he offered comments on a couple of issues with my current HVAC system in addition to going through the generator project. He patiently worked with me to get the equipment set where we wanted it. The installation by him and his assistant, Johnathan Dunn was done with the utmost attention to detail. I’m thankful to have John for his great service and look forward to working with him in the future."

“My B&S generator has a manufacturers defect with the starter which failed on the Sunday test. With the looming hurricane IAN. I notified John at Heritage and asked for someone to come out to fix it. He was booked thru Weds but would slot me in if something opens up. Weds afternoon his tech showed up and replaced the starter, tested it 7 times and since it was a warranty repair there was no charge. I couldn't have been more thrilled with that service!"

“Our little town Mayo Fl was hit very hard. I was without power for 2 days,, then a friend of mine contacted Heritage for me. They arrived next day on weekend. Repaired electrical service, called inspector and power company. Power was turned back on before they left 4hrs. When ready to purchase generator I will have John and his crew put it. 6 Stars 👍"

“I've known of Heritage Mechanical for years but only recently hired John and his team to install a Kohler whole house generator. I wanted a quality job and I definitely got that with John. The quality of work, especially in the little things is outstanding. They were always on time, in communication, cleaned up and genuinely concerned if I was happy with everything. Highly recommend."
