This was the first time I used Dove, and I was very pleased with their professionalism and price. I will continue to use then for my ongoing HVAC maintenance.

The company which recently conducted the semi-annual inspection of our 14-year old, two stage furnace pointed out that the second stage was not igniting, that when the first stage reached a 140 degrees the furnace would cut off and not come back on until the temperature cooled below 140. They recommended among other things that we get a new inducer assembly and replace the existing factory gas valve. The total repair cost would be about $3,000. In addition, they pointed to a potential future problem with the heat exchanger that might lead to a problem involving leaking carbon monoxide. The cost of addressing that issue would be roughly an additional $4,000. I asked what the cost of replacing the furnace would be and they said about $6,400 for which they would also include a complimentary new April-Air purifier. They upped the pressure by saying prices would be going up in the new year. The whole interaction left me feeling rather uncomfortable, so I went to the Washington Consumers’ Checkbook ratings and found Dove Heating & Air Conditioning, a local business. Dave Nichols, the owner, came out the day before Thanksgiving and quickly found why the second stage of the furnace was not igniting. He did something the previous company technicians had not done – mainly getting down on the floor and inspecting the circuit board at the bottom of the furnace. There he found a loose wire, which he fixed and in the process also tightened the other connections. That immediately fixed the problem. The cost of his approximately 30-minute visit was $125, a likely savings of anywhere from $3,000 to $7,000, and an immeasurable amount of peace of mind. Dave pronounced the furnace in good shape and should last another 5 or 6 years because among other things he said we have a good air purifier system. I asked out of curiosity what he would charge for a new furnace and the one he recommended currently cost $4,200 and that we really did not need to replace our AprilAire air purifier. In summary: Dave is a comfortable, experienced, knowledgeable, no-pressure professional; there is no need to replace our furnace and, beginning in the new year, Dove will henceforth be conducting the semi-annual inspection of our heating and air-conditioning systems.
