Testimonials
"We at Warm Rain would like to thank you for your recent system design and project management skills during the replacement of the boiler system in our Hancock, MI facility.
The innovations in the design return water piping allowed us to become efficient in the use of energy already being generated by the boiler.This worked out to our advantage in a cost savings.We are happy to report that we have seen a significant savings in our natural gas bill totaling more than a 15% savings.Along with this reported savings, we are happy to report that we have not experienced any sacrifice in the comfort level for our building or any temperature changes.
One of the major unforeseen benefits of the piping project has been the make-up air units to the return hot water piping.We also were able to apply for and receive a substantial rebate from the federal government for the project.The new condensing boilers have been operating without issues or concerns for our staff members.
You may consider us as a reference for any clients that you have for the future.You completed the project on schedule with no change orders.You also took the time to make sure the installers were sensitive to the plants production goals.This allowed us to be fully productive with little affect to our normal routine.
Thank you for your hard work and we are sure to benefit from your professionalism that was demonstrated during the undertaking of this project."

"It’s so COOL in our house of worship and social hall!
What a joy to know that we can pray, sing and offer hospitality at St. Albert the Great to our parishioners and the many who visit us.The weekends are very busy with events and you know about our Fish Dinners on the six Fridays of Lent.
We have enjoyed working with you and Bredahl Plumbing on the air conditioning project.You kept our needs in mind when you offered the Carrier product and the wall-hung appliances with remote controls.With in-floor heating, we didn’t know how you could cool our building.The old blower system did just that – blow the warm air around without cooling it.
Your workers were respectful of our times for Mass and funerals and events in the social hall.You could tell they each took pride in their part of the installation.
Thank you, Rob, for your continued interest and careful monitoring of our large project at St. Albert the Great."

"I want to express how pleased we are with the work that you did to convert our heating system from steam to hot water.You took over this project from another contractor that was in over their heads and you came through for us.Your technicians were very knowledgeable and helpful; everyone was very easy to work with.Best of all, we have already cut our heating costs by more than 50%.
In addition, your company helped us a great deal with a plumbing issue we had.Bredahl suggested a new way of lining our cracked waste line which saved us money by not having to dig up our alley to replace piping.The work was done exactly as it was explained, without any surprises.
Bredahl Plumbing and Heating has proven to be a company that we can and do depend on.I would highly recommend your services to anyone."

"This is a letter of recommendation for Bredahl Mechanical.We are in the process of converting our dated steam boiler system to energy efficient hot water heating.Rob Frei, Kenny and the team from Bredahl have been great to work with throughout the entire project.They have been on-budget, on-time, clean, extremely helpful, courteous and above all, all very professional.We have worked with many other contractors, but would welcome the opportunity to work with Bredahl again.It seems to be very difficult in this day to receive the kind of service that Bredahl delivers."

"I want to take a moment to recommend Rob Frei and Bredahl Mechanical, Inc.We recently used Bredahl to convert our building’s original steam boiler to a new high-efficient hot water boiler.Rob and his crew were great to work with.
I’ve dealt with many outside contractors and all too often you deal with un-professionalism.Bredahl is an exception.They were very professional and that included their guys on the job.They were fairly priced and kept us informed throughout the process.I would highly recommend them and go back to them in the future."

"In today’s fast-paced construction market, we need to make time to thank the subcontractors who make our jobs easier.
Over the past nine years, you have exceeded our expectations on every project and your value-added expertise is highly appreciated.

"My experience with Bredahl Plumbing was wonderful from the first phone conversation with Kym in Service; to the meeting at my home with the plumber, Jeff.
Courteous and knowledgeable; they both did everything to make sure my questions were answered.
The work was done when projected; even when unforeseen problems arose (digging a trench in the basement floor).
Jeff made sure at the end of the day, to clean up as much as he could and let me know the status of the job in progress.
The estimate given was exact and very competitive.I would recommend this company and their employees highly."

"For more than 10 years we have been doing business with Bredahl Plumbing.
Recently, we had a huge project that involved trenching up quite a bit of cement and tile floor and the job required several shifts of work over a period of a week.We are in a retail business and the need to complete the repair as quickly and smoothly as possible was very important.They contacted the various other subcontractors and specialists that were needed; handling that part of the project and the job was even finished in less time than estimated.They are knowledgeable and professional.The quality of service is the main reason that we do business with Bredahl and will continue to do so in the future."

"I have been working the Bredahl for two years now.They are very good at heating and plumbing.We have used another company here for our services and were unhappy with some of the charges and services.I called around and found that Bredahl is highly recommended from other plumbers and well respected in the heating and plumbing business.We are very happy with the crews that have come to Groveland and work with us on our town homes.I have recommended Bredahl to other managers and companies and will continue to do so.They can handle anything I call them for and at any time.
Thank you for a great job Bredahl!
Look forward to working with you guys in the future."

"On behalf of the Board of Trustees for Linden Hills United Church of Christ (LHUCC), I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Bredahl Mechanical.As the trustee responsible for the facility, my role was as the principal contact with Bredahl and other contractors.The people with Bredahl were very profession and completed the work on time and for the contracted price.
The scope of work completed by Bredahl at LHUCC was installation of a new 400,000 BTU/H high efficiency hot water boiler and related equipment.The new boiler is the lead source and is now manifolded together with the existing hot water boiler, which was left in place to act as a backup source.The new related equipment included a variable speed main circulating pump, air separator and expansion tank, microprocessor controller, outdoor reset control, two circulating pumps (one for the new boiler and one for the existing boiler), and related piping.To make way for the new equipment Bredahl removed two old and obsolete circulating pumps, the old expansion tank and air scoop, and piping.Bredahl also replaced five pneumatic radiator valves and one pneumatic thermostat.Asbestos abatement was done by Robinson Environmental, and electrical work by Alliance Electric.
LHUCC has basically two joined buildings.The original sanctuary was built in 1903 and an educational wing added on in 1968.The building’s total usable space is approximately 16,400 square feet on three levels.Each room has fin tube radiation and pneumatic thermostat and radiator valve.The existing American Standard make hot water boiler is 960,000 BTU/H input and more than 45 years old.The existing boiler, while working reasonably well, is not very efficient (about 70%) and was a worrisome concern due to its age.Bredahl proposed adding a new high efficiency condensing boiler and leaving the existing non-condensing boiler in place.To the trustees of LHUCC this was an interesting solution as we had only thought about a complete boiler replacement sometime hopefully in the distant future.
Ultimately what sold LHUCC trustees on the Bredahl proposal was the economics, the opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint by using less natural gas, and added system reliability.The economics clearly favored the installation of new equipment.On average LHUCC was spending about $8,150 annually for natural gas to heat the building.The new equipment had the potential of saving about 30 percent, or $2,450 a year.That meant a return on investment of about eight percent, much better than the less than one percent interest that money was earning in a money market account.Besides saving money, LHUCC also wanted to move toward less natural gas consumption for good stewardship of the earth.A bonus was the added system reliability that comes from dual heat sources and possibly extending the useful life of the existing boiler.
It was a joy to work with the Bredahl people.Rob was the project manager and our main point of contact.He made the proposal with several options to the trustees, explained the costs and benefits, selected the equipment, and supervised the installation process.Rob was there as a technical resource from beginning to end to answer all our questions.Terry was the lead installer, who completed the work in a timely manner and was very accommodating to our requests.Terry is “Minnesota nice.”And Jeff was the service technician who helped with the equipment start-up, providing training on the equipment and fixed all the distribution system problems.Jeff came in one Saturday when called to help out with a service issue, and did so cheerfully.Actually all that I know about Bredahl is my experience with these three good guys, which is enough for me to recommend Bredahl Mechanical."
