Exceptional and honest company. I was introduced to them by my neighbor and they installed a condensation pump for my tankless water heater. After I saw the quality work, I signed up with Frank and Kathie, the owners for an energy audit. Now they are helping with sealing my home windows and walls. I recommend asking for Matt, whom is a phenomenal handyman.He's the one that single handedly fixed all my problems.

I had a bad experience with this company. my heat kept blowing the cold air out back in April. The company sent out two young workers, they couldn't find the problem with it. I paid $108 in cash basically for nothing. Then in this September they sent out another $108 bill to me. I'm glad when I paid the cash my friend was in my house too, she witnessed whole thing. very disappointed!

We are renting a house with a boiler previously installed by Cowles with the sticker on it stating they should be contacted to service it. It went out at the same time as Watertown is 9 degrees outside and under winter weather advisory. It was after hours which meant they charge double to come out and inspect however there really was 0 other option as we were concerned with the realistic possibility of our pipes freezing and bursting. They sent two very young men who looked at it, said It's old and we don't have the parts (no offer to order or assist further) and are unfamiliar with anything but

They installed a new furnace with central air by air-temp.
Called them on a friday afternoon while unit was under warranty and would not come to look at my A/C not working because I was a residential customer not a business. I can't recommend them for anything since they have been servicing my furnace/ ac since it was new.

They installed a new furnace with central air. I used them to service it and clean it- I discovered they did not clean my internal ac coil or my secondary heat exchanger coil and by the looks of it never cleaned the outside coil at all.This went on years.
This was discovered by another company.
Very unprofessional especially since they installed it.

We applied for a NYSERDA loan to make our house more energy efficient, when that was approved we got some suggestions for contractors and we chose Cowels Contracting. They seemed nice, but told us right away that they were not doing any roof work, which we needed and were willing to pay for with our money. Cowels Constracting, knowing that we were getting our roof replaced almost around the same time they were going to do their work of putting insulation in the walls and roof (which is, I guess, all NYS was allowing us, plus exchanging SOME of our light bulbs), started their work. They put insulation

Only issue with the company is that they charge by the hour which applies to the travel time. It took them about an hour to get to my place, which means I was charged 70-80 dollars
