I initially found Robert Clubb on the Consumer Checkbook rating list of HVAC businesses in Maryland since I use/read their website and articles. They had a good rating for quality and price so I called him. I told him there was a problem in the master bedroom as it got very cold sometimes while the other bedrooms stayed warm or at the temp set on the thermostat. I have a room thermometer and the master bedroom was 68 degrees while the thermostat was set to 74 degrees. The other bedrooms were 74 degrees. He sent some one out that I THINK - but am not sure - was an outside contractor that he hired. Mr. Clubb was instructing the contractor over the phone as the contractor was inspecting the furnace over the phone. The furnace passed inspection. The initial problem was never dealt with but I asked the contractor to install a new thermostat as the one I had was an old 20 year old Honeywell Chronotherm thermostat and I thought it wise to get it updated. When the contractor gave me the bill for installation of the thermostat I was upset that he did not attend the original problem. The owner, Robert Clubb, said he did no care if I gave him a bad review as he had so many good reviews it did not matter to him. The initial problem was completely avoided. I was not pleased with the contractor that came out because he had to be instructed over the phone and because the initial problem was never attended to. Also the contractor gave me a receipt for costs that did not have Robert Clubb as the business name listed at the top of the receipt. The business name at the top of the receipt was AM/PM Emergency Services. When I called Robert Clubb and Assoc. I did not say it was an emergency. The contractor told me to KEEP the old thermostat in case the new one had problems. I hope I do not have problems with the newly installed thermostat!!!!!!

We had been using a large regional provider to perform our HVAC service for the past few years. The work was satisfactory, as far as I could tell, but the technicians were always finding little things we were advised to do with each service call to bolster the annual service fee we were paying. We decided to see if we could find another provider and checked the listings here. Our issue is that for heating we have a gas-fueled boiler with radiators, and a number of the highly rated firms here do not service that type of equipment. We landed on Robert Clubb and were very satisfied. The appointment was made promptly and was scheduled reasonably quickly. The technician was excellent, very knowledgeable. He made a couple of helpful suggestions. We will continue using Robert Clubb. One note: the firm does not do annual service contracts, but the fee to service our heating system was very reasonable. For routine service calls, one visit to prep our heating system and a second to prep our A/C system will come to just over half of our annual service contract with our former provider. Of course, if something goes wrong with either system, a repair would have been covered by the annual service contract. We will have to see if we made a good bet, but for now we are very satisfied with Robert Clubb.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating and air-conditioning systems work when needed, they must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs to heating or air-conditioning equipment, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

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.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

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.
