Response from Valley Heating & Cooling
I am sorry you did not receive service in a timely manner. we are new to the big deal and we did not realize we needed to check our Angies List every day to find out someone had purchased a service call from us. We are a custom to getting phone calls for service and were not checking the Angies list as we are suppose to. We offer same day service 24/7 so please do not let this reflect poorly on our business as we are still learning from this program. Thank you much for the feedback this has helped us to improve this process. Thank you Jason Gerstman Valley Heating and Cooling.

Everything was great, I just thought it was very expensive at $200 to replace a $10 part. I think $100 would be about right.

Response from Valley Heating & Cooling
I apologize that you did not feel as if your paid a fair amount for the service we provided. From our notes our tech also cleaned the drain lines and washed off the coil. However the price for the capacitor is correct. 5 Years ago we did only charge around $90.00 for a capacitor but we only had 4 technicians and we had to turn some customers down for service when we got so busy because we just could not get to them. Most customers were not happy with this so we made a huge change in our operations by staffing 10 certified experienced technicians, 4 more office personal and added a 24 hour answering staff to ensure 24 hour service. This did cause our overhead to go up but we found that most customers are so happy with the quick service that they valued same day service more than saving a little money. Also it wasn't by magic that we had that capacitor on the truck in fact we carry more that 50 different size capacitors on our truck. Along with around $6000.00 worth of other parts. We have fuel cost, insurance, cell phone, direct labor, advertising, answering service, bookkeepers etc to figure into our pricing on every call we run. If you find a company that can provide a repair like we did for less money you will find they employ less that 10 people and may not be available the next time you need them. This is a crazy business where we work over 80 hours a week in the peak seasons and 4 months out of the year we have trouble getting 40 hours a weak. Many hvac companies lay off during the slow times but at Valley our people are NEVER laid off. In fact if a company does not provide its employees with benefits and steady work they often leave the industry and you end up with someone in your home you are not comfortable with. I personally make sure my employees have a safe and profitable place to work but this comes at a price. In truth heating and cooling companies actually only profit around 15-20% and the majority of that is from replacing equipment. The service side of hvac is not near as profitable because of all the overhead. For every dollar we earn a percentage has to go to cellphones, fuel, auto insurance, business insurance, answering service, employee benefits, taxes, vehicle maintenance, restocking the truck, warranty for the part, drive time to you home, training, techs labor, yearly epa certifications, disposal of your old part, uniforms etc, You would be amazed at how much it cost to operate a service company. Many people do not understand that all overhead and taxes imposed on a company is paid by each consumer. If one day the majority of customers decide that same day service is not of any additional value and would rather save the money than receive same day service it would make our lives a lot easier to only hire 4 techs, 2 office staff and run calls when its convenient to us. At this point we really pride ourselves on our quick service, unfortunately this causes our prices to be a little higher than a smaller company. Thank you for allowing Valley to take care of your heating and cooling needs. I see you were a first time customer and not sure what convinced you to go with us but overtime I feel your experiences with any service company other than Valley will leave you disappointed in comparison. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain the reason for our pricing. Jason Gerstman Valley Heating and Cooling.

They are open 365 days a year and 24 hours a day and they do not charge extra to come out on weekends, at night, and even during holidays. With the maintenance being part of the package, we've decided that the cost wasn't really too high.

Adam and Brandon were prompt, showed up when they said they would, professional, and concerned. They explained why our HVAC unit was noisy, why the Aux Heat was coming on, and then they checked our HVAC unit out to make sure everything was as it should be. They were great!

I called early on a Saturday about my heat pump making an odd noise. I was told he would call before coming over and it shouldn't be long before he could come and check the unit. He called shortly and said he would be at the house in 40 minutes. He arrived exactly when he said he would, and thoroughly checked out both of our units. He didn't find any problems and explained the noises I was hearing and that they were normal. Very prompt and professional!

The workers were all very professional with all their work. There was a problem with condension on the electric control system, and it took several return trips before it was finally corrected. We were provided with 2 window units while the unit wasn't working, and we were offered the chance to be put up in a local motel while the unit was down. We were also given a portable A/C unit that could be moved from room to room during repair time. The unit has been working perfectly once everything got straightened out--very pleased with its performance. I want to say that this company impressed me with the positive attitude of ALL those that worked on the unit and especially Jason, the owner. Also, if you have a problem, you can call them anytime and they will respond quickly. I highly recommend anyone needing help with their Heating or A/C to use this company.

At first, the installation was a little too fast and rough for me, but two days later, two other more-seasoned guys came out, made some necessary changes, and modifications, and really worked hard and long to make the system its best. The next day, I has some annoying noise coming from the motor, almost as if it were out of balance. Another technician came out promptly and discovered it was nothing more than a small piece of insulation that had inadvertently got sucked into the motor fan. The technician fixed it quickly, had an excellent attitude and was very, very easy to communicate with, and now it's running perfectly and extremely quiet. Valley is not the cheapest out there, but they provide 24/7 service, offer 10 year warranty on the parts and labor, and are just a bunch of great people to deal with that I feel I can honestly trust.

From the estimate to the first annual service, I have been extremely pleased with Valley's customer service, professionalism and quality work. I waited a year to write this review because I wanted to have plenty of time to ensure the system worked well and that the annual service was performed correctly. The crew that installed our new system was very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Everything that was included in the estimate was performed as stated. The salesman, Declan, was very good in recommending the right system for our house and scheduling the work. Valley phoned us one year after installation to schedule the annual maintenance service. The gentleman who came to service our unit was very thorough and professional. I would highly recommend Valley for your heating and cooling needs.

Valley was awesome! First class quality!
Description of Work: We had a garbage unit and trashed duct work in our old home. We wanted to go all metal on the ductwork and have a first class unit. However, my number one concern was quality. I did some research and called some folks out for an estimate. Not only did Valley keep coming up in the good column from referrals but they were the lowest price too. I got all metal ducts and a Trane unit with a nice warranty. The best thing about this experience was the quality of work these guys did. They did not cut corners. They did everything right. I have had some structural folks under my house since then and they all ask me who did the AC work. When I say Valley they say "That is the best ductwork job I have ever seen. Those guys did an awesome job." Marty, Josh, and the whole team at Valley were awesome. They were on time and professional. I will definitely deal with them in the future. You should give them a try too.

Thursday 1/17 my Trane heat pump noise increased dramatically, although it was still functioning. After checking Angie's List, I called Valley Heating and Cooling. A tech was there in 2 hours, and confirmed that the 20 yr old heat pump compressor was worn out. I requested quotes on both repair and a couple levels of replacement. Service call cost: $69.00. Friday morning, the heat pump had died. Gerald called to discuss our options. I impressed on him that the situation was somewhat urgent because I was scheduled to be out of state from Wed 1/23 thru Mon 1/28. That afternoon he came to the house with 4 quotes, one repair at almost $4000, and 3 levels of replacement. 1 Broan and 2 levels of Trane. I elected for the top level Trane, which would include replacing the attic evaporator unit as well, running new Freon lines, and sealing the ductwork. They were already fully scheduled for Saturday and Monday, but could do the job on Tuesday 1/22. He provided a space heater to get me through until Tuesday. Monday Gerald called to confirm that the job would, in fact, be done on Tuesday. Tuesday 1/22 the crew arrived at 8:45 and were gone by 4:15. They were exceptionally efficient and pleasant, and left the place spotless. Cost: $7820.00, as quoted. Gerald called again after 5 to find out how everything went. The new system is a major improvement over the old, which was very efficient but always pretty noisy. With the new system I barely notice when the heat cycles on and off and have to listen closely to even tell if it is running or not! Time will tell if it is any more energy efficient than the old one. I highly recommend Valley Heating and Cooling!

They are excellent people. The sales people all three of the times I have purchased from them were very knowledgeable and did not push products on me. The repairmen have always been great with the installation, very polite, and have always cleaned up after themselves. Last year we lost our air conditioning and everyone was very busy but they had someone out at eleven o'clock at night and that was outstanding. They have always came on time.
Description of Work: They most recently came out for a service. We have them do service twice a year. In the past I have purchased three air conditioners from them.

I was extremely pleased and would like them to do any work on my heat pump in the future.
Description of Work: My air conditioner stopped blowing cold air the day before. I called about 9:00 the next morning and Seth came out about 3:30 that day. I told him the problem and he replaced a capacitor. I had cold air again and while he was replacing the part, he cleaned the coils. I asked him about scheduling a tune-up and he gave me a coupon for a discount when I got one. I scheduled a tune-up the next day. Seth was friendly, knew what he was doing and I was not ill at ease wondering if he was trying to sell me something I didn't need and couldn't afford. As a matter of fact I was curious about how much a new heat pump costs and do they offer financing.

Everything was fine, and everything seems to be working okay. However, I have only had it for about a month now. They did what they said they were going to do. I have no qualms at all with them. The work went fine, and there were no setbacks at all. I don’t know what is going to happen down the road though. In terms of the price, I did not have any comparisons with the brand that I went with, but I did have some comparisons with cheaper brands. I went with the higher brand that they had. Their responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism were all very good.
