Repairs, Service, or Installations for Your Home. Call Us!

Owning a home or business means there will be up-keep and repairs. Some will be small like a drywall repair or sink clog, but some may be large like a wiring upgrade, or installation of a new furnace. If you’re facing electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, or home performance service, repair, installation or concerns in any of these areas, we’ve got you covered. Custom Mechanical is your one-stop company for large and small repairs, service and installations.

HVAC

If your furnace, heat pump or air conditioning isn’t keeping your home comfortable, our technicians will respond promptly to your call and are available 24/7 for emergency service. We’ll arrive with a fully stocked vehicle so most repairs are completed on the first visit.

Plumbing

Sink stoppage, toilet clog, water heater replacement, leaky faucets, remodels and everything else plumbing related, is part of our comprehensive package of home services. We have the expertise to take care of all your home plumbing needs.

Electrical

Your electrical system is a matter of safety and we take that very seriously. Troubleshooting issues, installing upgrades, new systems, lights or ceiling fans, cable or telephone wiring; we’ll provide an up-front estimate and flat-rate pricing.

Carpentry

Home improvements often involve carpentry work. Perhaps you’d like to rebuild your deck, add an attic drop-down stair, replace a few windows, widen a doorway, repair some drywall or fix a few cabinets. Our decades of experience can get the job done for you.

Home Performance Evaluation

Make your home more energy efficient and reduce your energy bills. Flow hood testing, duct pressure evaluation, blower door testing and infrared camera diagnostics are all available to target specific issues to save you money.

This company is very thorough. When the tech came to inspect our crawl space encapsulation he detected a gas leak under the house that we were not aware of, tagged it and advised me immediately to call our gas company. I really appreciated that.

My hot water heater was spraying water and I called Custom Mechanical. I was told the earliest someone could get here would be 5:00 pm. A tech called at 3:30 to say he’d be on his way. He was efficient, very friendly and very professional.

Kevin did a outstanding job with de-winterizing our condo considering the problem with the broken water meter. He has done work for us before and is very professional and knowledgeable. He explains everything he will be doing then makes sure there are no problems with the finished job. His customer service skills are outstanding.

I've used Custom Mechanical twice for AC system issues troubleshooting -- once in June 2017 and again in May 2018. In both instances I was impressed by the technicians' professionalism, efficiency, and technical knowledge. Each technician was able to clearly articulate the issues and their findings to me in understandable terms. I will continue to call upon Custom Mechanical for my HVAC system service provider needs and unequivocally highly recommend this firm.

Why did I not go here first ?Custom Mechanical is the best - case closed. Last year they solved an AC problem that 3 others could not solve. This past weekend I called at 11:30, they were there in less than 90 minutes on a hot busy weekend, and fixed an AC problem on my other unit in 20 minutes. They are great and now my “go to” for all things heating/AC, plumbing, and hot water.

When I logged into Google to post another review of Custom Mechanical I noticed the review I wrote for them over the winter was still waiting in the "Edit" mode. So I am including that review below since it was for Plumbing. I arrived at the DE house last weekend to find the A/C not working and temp over 90! Called Customer Mechanical at 7am and was told the tech would be there between 12 and 4pm. I was bummed to have to wait inside all day since I was only there for the weekend but then Daniel, the A/C technician arrived at 11:00 am!!!! A/C was back up and running and I was off to enjoy the weekend. I love this company! As you'll see from my winter post below, they have saved us twice now, and very quickly. I'm so happy to be able to count on Customer Mechanical if anything goes wrong at the beach! Thank you Daniel and Ken!!!!Review from Winter 2018 -Extremely pleased with the work of Custom Mechanical! We had not visited our vacation house in DE in about a month so when we arrived Friday evening (after several weeks of freezing temps!) we found we had no water, a pipe had frozen and burst. I contacted Custom Mechanical, who also services our heat/ac unit, and left a message on v/m as it was after business hours. I received call back w/in 5 minutes and the plumber, Kenneth, arrived 10 minutes later! He fixed the pipe and we had water back on very shortly thereafter, for a very reasonable fee. His card will remain on our fridge for any future mech/plumbing issues. So happy with this company...and Ken! Thank you!!!

Annual a/c servicing. Very thorough check of equipment. Extensive cleaning of a/c including removal of interior leaves which appears not to have been done as carefully previously. At my request attempted to lower noise of a/ c. Answered my questions patiently and cheerfully. Very pleasant fellow. I give him the highest rating.

We depend on Custom Mechanical to keep our HVAC equipment operating perfectly all year and have done so for over 25 years. Their inspections are always done in time, complete with detailed report sent via email. If we do call for service, they respond promptly, techs are courteous and take time to explain details of what was done. Maybe the best insurance policy one can have at about $1 per day!

I have been a customer for only a year now after changing from my last service because I was so dissatisfied. I am very happy with the service I have gotten with Custom Mechanical. Dennis, the service tech who came yesterday was outstanding. He explained thoroughly what the problem was and how I could remedy it. He performed a thorough check of my system. I am impressed with the quality and professionalism of Custom Mechanical and have recommended them to my friends and neighbors.

Custom Mechanical staff helped us through the process of deciding & purchasing a new heat pump. They were professional and the work completed in a timely manner. The Sales representative was friendly and very knowledgeable. The installers were prompt and thorough, as well as innovative with removing and installing equipment in limited conditions. We are very pleased with Custom Mechanical and the American Standard Gold 17 System.

We have used Custom Mechanical for a variety of projects, including heating/AC installations, system maintenance, dehumidifiers, and now, hot water system replacement. All installations are done on time, cleanly and for the price quoted; maintenance response is always prompt and professional. I wish all the service groups we worked with were this easy to work with and accommodating. I would definitely recommend their work.

It's only been over 6 weeks since you came to give me an estimate for the plumbing project. While I haven't gotten my estimate yet and you never returned my call from weeks ago, you are probably a great company. Merry Christmas.

Chris was great. We needed emergency weekend work... Chris gave us a window, then called when close, arrived on time, was fast, clean, efficient and had excellent communication skills. Got everything up and working, explained what had happened, gave tips for future problems, and did a full test of the system to ensure no other issues were hiding/needing to be addressed.Even better, our premium support plan paid for itself with this one emergency visit.Great company, great people. Always a pleasure to work with.

16:55 19 Feb 19

Disappointed you no longer Change batteries in smoke detector. Also one gentleman stepped through to my kitchen ceiling. Apparently you will repair but don’t want it to appear as a “patch” job with non matched paint. I’d like you to send me something via email outlining exact what you do on these visits. Glad the fellow wasn’t hurt. He put foot right through insulation and upstairs flooring

Marylee Sutherland

15:53 26 Apr 18

Part of the service should be to replace the filters in the units at the time of service. I was informed I would need to make a separate appointment for that. I would think that is something that should be arranged when the appointment is made and then it all can be done at one time.The technician was very professional and did a very nice job insuring the units were operating efficiently. .

Frank Vallese

13:52 15 Jun 18

I contacted CM to determine the cause of my air conditioning system emitting warm air. It was determined that my compressor and related coil needed repair/replacement so I elected to have the system replaced (it was the original and more than 12 years old). The technician told me that it should not be repaired as the R22 refrigerant was being phased out. I am giving CM 3 stars as I felt the pricing of the unit was over priced. The technicians and office personnel were very professional, thorough, and responsive, however, as someone on a fixed income, the pricing I paid was not inline with other costs that I researched for the same unit and installation. Just felt like they overcharged me for this unit and installation. My neighbor recommended CM to me. I think they are reputable but should be more cognizant of their pricing and to be more competitive in this area.
