Consumer Comments for United Service Specialists

inconsistent service with nice technician but too many costly errors. Terminated maintenance contract after asking too many questions about neglectful and potentially risky service.

Consumer from Washington, DC
Aug 21, 2021

i was not super impressed with their A/C repair service which was okay, but new installation and maintenance seem adequate. You can call the owner and ask for help or special care if you need it.

Consumer from Silver Spring, MD

They have gotten more expensive over the years (about 10) we've used them, but they are responsive and knowledgable.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

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.
