Consumer Comments for Carney Plumbing Heating & Cooling

I got three estimates for a new HVAC system and Carney's was more than $2700 higher than my best estimate. Very high overhead with more than 40 trucks on the street.

I first dealt with them ten years ago when they installed my geothermal system. Superlative work and knowledgeable staff. Now, three months after end of warranty, the main circuit board failed. The manufacturer (very kindly) provided the part for free. Carney marked up the part and charged $469. for a 45-minute job. They are also non-stop pushing their maintenance contract. I feel sorry for the excellent technicians who are pressured into being hard-sell sales people. Maybe this is due to their recent merger with another HVAC company. Due to the knowledgeable and professional techs, I will still recommend, but next time I will try another company due to their business practices.

I have used Carney's for over 10 years. When they merged with All Seasons, there seems to have been a change in corporate culture. Instead of providing an excellent service and reasonable price, they seemed to concentrate on getting as much money from the customer as possible. In one case, they charged me $900 to install a $200 furnace fan that took them less than an hour to install. In another case, they wanted to charge me over $300 to attempt to fix my water softener. I declined, got directions from the manufacturer to do it myself, and it took me less than 15 minutes. I recently had to replace my HVAC system. Carney was 50% higher than the next quote for the same solution. Bottom line: I think Carney does quality work, but the prices are getting out of control.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, 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.
