Description of Work: No money was paid. It was warranty work. Terrible communication. Had to call after hours on two separate days because technician never showed up even though we were scheduled.

n. All parties are at fault. But the homeowner ends up paying the tab. It was noticed that several homes in this neighborhood have already replaced their HVAC units and probably due to the very same reasons.
Description of Work: Installed a dual system that was insufficient for the square footage of the home to be heated/cooled as well left a one foot diameter hole in the ducting system which was covered by a towel and ended up costing the new home owners thousands of dollars in heating/cooling expense until the problems were finally all worked out of the ductwork and the HVAC system was replaced with a system large enough to sufficiently heat/cool the home. The system should never have been installed improperly nor should it have passed inspectio

The customer service rep that answered the phone was very polite and helpful. She said that she couldn't give me an exact estimate without a service call and diagnostics, which is what I expected, but she was kind enought to give me a cost range based on the first provider's diagnostics. I think most providers would have insisted on making and charging me for a service call before even discussing the issue with me.
Description of Work: I wanted to get an estimate to replace the blower motor in my inside A/C unit. I wanted to compare it to an estimate that I had received from another service provider who had diagnosed the problem the day before. Darden-Green gave me a cost range to replace the motor.

The service man was on time and knew what he was doing. He looked at the thermostat for my heat pump and determined it needed to be replaced. It was staying on 90 degrees and would not turn the heat or cool on. He told me I needed a new thermostat and that he only had the basic kind (non programmable) on his truck. He said it would cost $195.00 and $89.00 for the service charge. I thought that was really expensive but since it was about to turn cold again thought I didn't have a choice. He replaced the old one in about 30 minutes and checked to make sure it was working. Overall he did a good job but I later looked the thermostat up on the computer and it runs $35.00 new.
Description of Work: Changed out my heat pump thermostat

I use Darren Green all the time. They are always honest and never give a over blown analysis of the situation or charge for things that aren't necessary. I will use them as long as they are in business.
Description of Work: They went to one of my rental houses and fixed the air conditioning which had frozen up because of a heat wave.

They were on time. They were pleasant to deal with and considerate of foot traffic and I was very pleased with them. It could have been cheaper and they do have competition that does that job for less. We have used them on and off for probably fifteen years, so they have a very good standing with us and I have been very satisfied with them.
Description of Work: I use Darden-Green Company Inc for heating and air. They last came out to do a seasonal checkup.

They were timely. It was really cold and they explained the situation because both the units were 17 years old and to repair them was almost impossible. I wanted to know why? And they worked late to make sure it got done and I wasn't freezing to death. I was just happy they came and they told me what they needed. They told me to give them little time and see if they could get the best price on the top unit. They replaced everything. They did it in two days.

Description of Work: D-G installed the orig ac/furnaces in our new home in 1981 and has updated and maintained them ever since. Our experiences have always been good! Prices have always been fair and competitive, and I'll been pleasantly surprised when they found lower cost solutions.

We've used them for the past 10-15 years. They are extremely dependable, reliable and reasonably priced. We have never had any cause to be unhappy with anything they have done. They are pretty much always on time. They are very professional.

They put the units in and installed them and they come out once a year to adjust them. They have done pretty good for us. They are a fairly good company, they aren't the cheapest but they have the best service.

It turned out fine and they cleaned up the area where they worked. The installation was done competently but the only complaint I had is that they did little in the area of explaining how the unit worked and that sort of thing. I have subsequently tried several times to get hold of them for service; you leave a message on their answering machine but nobody returns your call. I will not use them again in the future.

I used to use them quite a bit and I was always real happy with them. The last time I tried to call I never could get anybody. It was almost like they shut their doors or something. I tried over a couple of days and there was no way to leave a message. They always seemed really honest and I never felt like they were overcharging me or fixing something that didn't need to be fixed. I never thought they were taking me for a ride. They seemed like real honest guys. Their price was as good as anybody.
Description of Work: I used Darden-Green Company for a repair or unit checkup on both units.

I couldn't have been happier. Other companies would have jumped at the chance to sell me a new system and would have told me whatever it took to send me that direction. I am always impressed at the honesty and integrity demonstrated by Darden-Green.
Description of Work: Called regarding poor performance of a 21 year old A/C thinking that I would have to purchase new system. Technician recharged refrigerant, cleaned the outside condenser, and told me that it should last another couple of years.

I have used Darden-Green in the past for trouble call, regular maintenance and new system installation. They have always been polite and helpful and I have never felt as though I had been ripped off. I would recommend to everyone.
Description of Work: Darden-Green answered the call when my cooling system was not doing the job. They came out next day and checked the system for leaks and then recharged with refrigerant. Everything seems to be fine now.

I am quite pleased with this company. I like them because they do not try and sell me things that I do not need or tell me things are broken when they are not. I can not say what they charged for my most recent service visit but it was what it usually is. Their prices are always within the range of what competing companies are asking.
Description of Work: This business not only had installed the heating and air conditioning system in my approximately 2000 square foot home, but they also recently serviced those units for me.
