Consumer Comments for Krafft Air Conditioning Service

Consumer from GREAT FALLS, VA

I had previously rated them extremely highly however, something no longer seems to be working well over the past 3 years. The main office is always obtuse as to when they might be able to schedule someone (and I have used them to put in a new heat pump and zoning system as well as look after my wine cellar). My main system was not working and needed a new one and I did not even get a call back from them. Their follow-up to prior work just never gets done.

Best thing was they could do the job quickly. Not so great ... the new furnace starting leaking from inside and it took several trips and it still wasn't fixed. I ended up adjusting the hose clamp they added so it stopped leaking. Krafft tech said he'd get a more permanent fix from the manufacturer but that never happened. They also quoted a not so great brand (Goodman) and I later found I could have gotten a Trane unit for a lower price from the company we used for the A/C unit.

Krafft was able to diagnose and fix a recurring problem with our central a/c system that Cropp Metcalf couldn't, and Cropp was the original installer. I am very happy with Krafft's work.

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.
