Consumer Comments for Marvin E Kanze

Consumer from Bala Cynwyd, PA

Poor work from an untrustworthy company. Tried to install used equipment claiming it was new. Insisted it was working when it clearly wasn't. Buyer beware.

Consumer from Havertown, PA
Jan 20, 2020

This company has a long family history dating back to the late 1950's. Unfortunately the company has declined substantially in service and quality of customer care. They are understaffed with considerable turnover in technicians and scheduling maintenance visits are stressful and customer unfriendly to say the least. Staff is often rude which is a barometer of the company culture. Avoid-There are much better HVAC companies who care about their customers and make them a priority.

Was very difficult to work with on quote for HVAC system. When didn't get the job, harangued me on what a poor decision I had made.

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.
