Their work looks good and clean. They have always finished the job to code and within a reasonable period of time. Universe is a team effort type of company. If a difficulty arises then they can contact other service technicians to aid them. It is that group effort that I like. I have used Universe for decades and have always been satisfied with their work. (See More)

Communication with Universe leaves something to be desired. Continually tried calling on Sunday and just got a recording. Tried 3 different emergency # s for Universe. Same results. Fortunately this proved not to be an emergency as we just shut down our system. However if it were a true Emergency, we would not have gotten service. (See More)

Very professional and courteous woman in the office arranged an appointment, and technician was at my door within an hour! The technician, Barney, was equally courteous, and neat and thorough. He quickly located the problem, and expertly replaced a part on my boiler that was under warranty. As part of my service contract there was no cost to me, and before I knew it, everything was in order and I had hot water again! Thank you, Universe, for your excellent service! (See More)

They do good work, but I don't like how they keep trying to scare me into buying a new boiler!!! When I don't need one, no less. It's disgusting then to find out I don't really need one, they are just trying to increase their bottom line. (See More)
2/10/2020
 
They respond promptly and arrive within the time space projected. They keep my boiler going and are very courteous and professional. Not crazy how they keep trying to sell me a new boiler when I know I don't need one. It's very stressful to be told I need a new boiler. Who doesn't? Especially when the one who is telling me this, sells boilers. (See More)

Everything was good to excellent. I was under the impression that the service contract provided 24/7 service, so my only complaint is that we had to go without hot water from Sunday evening through to around 1 P.M. Monday, which was inconsistent with the usual, same day emergency service we are accustomed to for the past five years with Universe. Also, the Sunday evening call to Universe was answered by a recorded message indicating it would be replied to Monday morning between 7:30 am to 8:30 am, which did not happen. After 8:30 I had to call about five times, going through the various menu options, before someone picked up. Not good. (See More)

We had our gas to oil conversion done 3 years ago by Universe and it has been a pleasure dealing with them. From their office employees to their service employees, nothing but top notch friendly, efficient service. We recommend them all the time to our friends and family. Barney, who helped us before, came today to service our system and was on time and efficient as well as friendly and knowledgable . We have also had plumbing work done and everyone was great, especially Jay who installed fixtures in our bathrooms. We highly recommend Universe and would not use anyone else for our gas, plumbing and appliance needs. (See More)
