Customer ReviewsforA.B. May

Horrible Company, as with other reviews I would give 0 stars if I could. I was notified by the energy company that I needed to install a slip joint conduit on my meter box. Because of this, I was without power. So I called A.B. May to install one so I could get my power up and running asap. To put the following in context, I just purchased my first house and look very young. I met the electrician at the door and the first thing he says is not "Hello" or "How are you doing" but "Are you the home owner?" I answered yes and he look at me suspiciously as if I were lying to him. I told him about the situation and brought him over to the meter. He tells me that the ac unit is too close to the meter so its unsafe to work so he cant do anything to help me. He then proceeds to suggest that I move either the ac unit or the meter. He asks to see my breaker panel so I escort him inside. Walking in he randomly asks if I have kids. I don't. In a judgmental tone he responded "Oh you have a whole house without any kids?" He looks at my breaker box and then tells me that its not up to the most recent code which had been updated a month ago so I needed to get that replaced. We walk upstairs and again he asks if I have any kids. Idk why he was obsessed with me not having kids. He pulls up a quote for $3800 having added in a bunch of the extra stuff that didn't really need to be done to fix my issue so I can get my power turned back on. He didn't even break down the prices for me. All he gave me was a total. Clearly he saw me as a young homeowner in a desperate situation with money and thought he could price gouge me. Even though all he did was mock me for being a homeowner with no kids and try to scam me, I still had to pay him his $90 service fee. I got a different local company to come out next day and they fixed the issue for $650.

I would give them negative stars if I could. I have a warranty on my A. C unit and they are trying to charge me over $3000 to get it fixed. After I've already paid them $650. Not even a month ago to fix it. And I only paid a little over $5000 for my unit.And it's less than three years old. Do not use them at all, run for the hills

A.B. May does not stand behind their work! My daughter who is a first time home buyer purchased a home 6 months ago. Approx. 3 weeks ago she had the main drain back up in her basement and called AB May for service. They ending up selling her a very expensive fix (16 thousand dollars) They completed the repair and approx. 2 weeks after the repair was completed they woke up to water gushing out of the concrete floor where the repair was completed, flooding their entire basement. They called AB May who came out approx. 6 hours after the initial call and when the service person first saw the problem he stated yes this is our issue but then stated he needed to call his boss and went outside to speak to his boss. After a few minutes he returned and stated it wasn't their issue and were not going to repair. My daughter has called AB May Numerous times since and can not even get a return call from anyone! They contacted their home owners insurance who stated it was caused from the repair and will only cover contents damaged. Their next step will be to contact a lawyer.

BUYER BEWARE- the AB May "home warranty" is a predatory tactic. Read other reviews. My son had an AB May warranty with house he bought. It ended up needing a new AC/ Furnace. His house is around 1000 sf they quoted him $13,000 but said he would get a $2000 "credit" for the warranty. So he ended up paying $11,000! I looked up the average cost of replacement in the KC area- its $6-8,000! And that's for homes much bigger. My husband looked up the cost of the A coil, furnace, etc. It's around $2500. He would have been better off getting a quote from a local HVAC guy. We tried to tell him.

When buying our house in 12/20 when purchased a home warranty through AB May, we did not have need for any service for 3+ years until the end of February 2024 when our hot water heater went out (for clarity this was a simple 40 gal tanked heater). We contacted AB May and they sent out a plumber, to our surprise we were given a quote of nearly $4,000 and told our warranty would have a $2,000 credit applied so our out of pocket cost was roughly $2,000. This seemed high to us especially given that we were under the impression that we would be covered if something like this were to happen. I declined the service and contacted a couple other companies who both gave estimates around $2,000 (one slightly under, the other slightly over). It seems AB May collects $60 to $70 a month for a home warranty, claiming to cover needed home repairs only to charge approximately $2,000 more than competitors and then to give a $2,000 credit for having a home warranty, ultimately costing the homeowner the same as it would of without ever having purchased the home warranty. After this we promptly cancelled our home warranty contract. We would highly recommend not purchasing a home warranty through AB May.

I have been a longtime ABMAY customer & normally do not do reviews, but I want to give a special shout out to 2 people: Zack B put in my tankless water heater & Gate W was the electrician who put in the outlet & updated my electrical box. Both of these people did an exceptional job & were informative as well as easy to communicate with. Martin M helped Gate with the second portion of the electrical work & also did a good job. I will definitely be using these people if I have a problem in the future. 5+ stars & excellent work! I appreciate it. THANKS!

ABMay was contracted to repair my sewer line break. They were on time, punctual and very professional and personal. The work was completed in record time and the sidewalk was replaced with new concrete which is drying now. Cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for a job well done. Ismael and others were great to work with and kept me in the loop all during the work. Again, they were amazing and my new HVAC/Plumbing contractor ! !

Technicians arrived on time, were courteous and careful in my home. They explained the new system and were knowledgeable. Work was completed in the time frame expected. Cleaned up after they finished.

Great worker. Very professional . Excellent knowledge !! Thank you Harley!! Installed new humidifier

Kamryn P***** was ready to get the job done and knew what he was doing. The work was fast and he added a place to document the time the bulb was installed so I can better track replacement in the future. He was knowledgeable, professional, and very polite. It was a pleasure to have him in my house.
