Extremely disappointed with the lack of communication and the way my refund has been handled. After paying a deposit, I was explicitly told: “It’s your money — you can get a FULL refund.

Thornton and grooms falsely advertises 24/7 emergency service. After business hours, there is no way to get a hold of anyone.

During a routine 5 zone boiler check, Daryn Byrd showed me his expertise on boilers by turning on the fresh air, replacing a fuse, checking the power output for each pump, making sure all the pumps were running, replacing thermostat batteries, and installing a new thermostat. Now my boiler is not only quieter but it’s also running better than it ever did!
Technician arrived on time. Performed most steps included in the scope. Some items needed some prompting to check out. Luckily, no significant findings. Repaired a warn-out flapper in a toilet tank. Generally service was okay. Wishes Thornton & Grooms leaders would review what plumbing work they worked on before…
