They're highly ok

Consumer from San Francisco Bay Area
Oct 06, 2022

They drilled an extra 4in hole in my roof and then sealed it like a five year old and didn’t tell me about it, this is after I stressed my concerns to more than one person, multiple times. Ben Snyder there customer care person doesn’t bother to return calls and the office staff is nonchalant about it all.

Consumer from Santa Cruz, CA

They do the annual inspection of our furnace. Always do a good and thorough job, and give us a sense of what's going on.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
