It was after hours so I gladly paid for that, $220. No complaints with that. He was here about an hour, maybe a little less. He checked everything and replaced two capacitors. My bill was $487.00. I knew it was $220.00 to come out and tell me what's wrong, so I was surprised, and I paid it, and when he left, I looked up online the capacitors they replaced. One of them. The same exact model they installed in my unit would cost me, retail: $23.35, for the highest priced one. They charged me $191.00 That's a little less than 900% markup, to take it out of the truck and screw it in the unit. The other capacitor cost me $76.00. It would cost me retail, $12.00, for the most expensive one. I got a break there. Only paid 600% markup on that one. I presume Superior is getting these for less than retail and they have to pay labor, which I thought was covered in the $220.00 for showing up. I understand they have to make a profit. But 600% - 900% markup?!?! Seems pretty excessive to me. It was a very expensive lesson I learned. Next time I'll have "whoever' tell me what I need, and how much it will cost, before I just let them go on and replace things without telling me how much.
Description of Work: Two capacitors replaced.

Response from Superior Heating & Air
Thank you for your honest review. You spelled out the good and the bad with your experience with our on call technician. I realize the lack of understanding on pricing by the general public. It is very hard to understand the true cost of running a business with inventory on each truck, truck repairs/replacement, gasoline, tools; taxes that must be paid, sales, income, property, tags, payroll, social security, medicaid; insurance, workman's comp, general liability, vehicle; rent, advertising, building maintenance, utility cost etc....... I am sorry that you feel you were over charged. We work off of a flat rate pricing program that takes all of those things into account. I appreciate the good comments on our professionalism, punctuality, quality and responsiveness as well as the negative ones on pricing. I thank you for your business and we will be more than happy to take care of you in the future should you need us. Joey Usery President Superior Heating & Air Inc.

I called Superior Heating & Air, and they sent a tech out the next day. The tech found a leak on the service ports on the refrigerant lines, promptly fixed them, and added two pounds of refrigerant to the system. The total time of the service call was around an hour. After the tech left, there was a significant difference in the cooling of the house within twenty minutes. If I have any problems with my HVAC and need a tech, I will definitely be giving Superior Heating & Air a call.

I have been using them for years. I pay annually for a spring and winter checkup. They are reliable. I know the owner and all of them. I had one fired six years ago that did poor quality work. He let my horses out without doing anything about it. I called and told them I didn't want him on my property and then he was fired. One person usually comes out.

Their service was great; but they should look into the little finishing details. They should’ve maybe swept up a little bit more in the garage. And when they were reinstalling the trim they should’ve made it look even.

They were supposed to take care of my ac. I paid them $180.00 per year to service my air conditioner. When they came out they did not clean it and they just went through the motions. Then when my ac stopped working, they told me I needed to get a brand new unit. I called a different company for a 2nd opinion and the other company fixed my ac for $120.00. All they did was check my duck work, clean the unit, and added Freon. I will never trust Superior Heating and Air. They were trying to sell me a brand new ac when all it needed was a tune up.

Response from Superior Heating & Air
Our first priority to our customers is to repair the system back to factory specifications. In Mrs. [Member Name Removed]'s case, we gave her the cost of replacing the indoor coil to save her future repair costs and avoidable problems with other components of her a/c system. We could have simply pumped freon into a system with a known leaking indoor coil and never mentioned the real problem, resulting in shortening the lifespan of her system. If she had chosen to put freon in it, her bill would have been around $250.00. I operate this business like I would want someone to deal with me and have for the last 13 years. I can understand not wanting to repair a system correctly or purchase a new one when it cost beneficial in the long run to do so. Heck, I own a heating and air company and I do not like to repair or replace systems @ my own home, but it is a part of home ownership and I have bite the bullet the same as my customers. It is unfortunate to have to reply to false claims on Angie's list, but like other social media in today's world, it is easy to throw out accusations to the general public while hiding behind a computer in the safety of your own home. I have pictures of a clean system and a leaking indoor coil @ Mrs. [Member Name Removed]'s home. Our technicians take pictures with their cell phones in case there is a question about the work to be performed. Joey Usery President Superior Heating & Air Inc.

When I woke, the house seemed cooler than usual and got colder as the morning progressed. Checked thermostat and it was blank. Called Superior Heat & Air, which I had used before, and they scheduled a service call during a specific block of time the same afternoon. Got a call when they were on their way. Justin diagnosed and repaired the problem with my unit and I had a toasty house again in a little over an hour. I also appreciated Justin's practical advice for dealing with my aging unit. I will use and recommend them again.

In the summer of 2007, Superior Air installed a brand new A/C unit for the prior owner of our house. The prior owner moved out after a year and a half and the house was vacant for a year. In 2010, we bought the house (a prime selling point listed was a "practically new" unit. The Rheem unit lasted all of a few months before breaking down. We called Superior AIr as the prior owner had passed on his paperwork from the purchase. They came out and said the blower was broken and it would be $1,000 to replace it. The unit had function for less than 2 years. We asked how they could charge us $1,000 of labor (the part was still covered under the manufacture's warranty) when they installed the unit less than 3 years ago. They explained that their 5 year service warranty does NOT transfer to new owners. I am an attorney. Putting in a contract that a warranty does not transfer is legal but is not the standard of business. In fact, when we had two other estimates from other contractors in the area they BOTH first recommended that we call the business who installed the A/C unit since it was almost brand new and should still be covered under a service warranty. Fast forward five years. We have now gone through two blowers and are about to have to pay for a second thermal expansion valve. I called and talk to "Joey" again to explain that he had really sold us a lemon and we have paid more than the a/c unit is worth to fix it and are about to pay more. He AGAIN claimed he owed us no duty because he had done business with the prior owner and not us. This sort of contractual clause is legal. It is just not ethical. In fact, I think it borders on a deceptive trade practice. Most consumers expect warranties to transfer with ownership--the normal standard of business is for warranties to transfer. In my experience, Superior Air does NOT stand behind their products. I would be afraid to trust a company that used sneaky contractual provisions to get out of their responsibilities. "Joey" suggested as an attorney I should have read the "fine print" of the contract and made the prior owner somehow extend a warranty from his pocketbook. Ridiculous. Pouring over warranties is not part of the contract process when buying a home. We trust in the good faith of companies to act ethically. Buyer Beware.

Response from Superior Heating & Air
While the internet is a wonderful thing in most cases, it also allows individuals to post totally FALSE accusation without repercussions. There are very few things in her review that are factual: We did installed a system in the home that she now owns on 8/27/2007. We had a preventative service agreement with the original owner in 2008 and 2009. I cannot tell you when the house sold, but I can tell you that we had no contact with the new owner until 6/13/2012 which would have put the age of the unit @ 4 years and 10 months. (A far cry from 2010 and a few months after her purchase according to her review.) She was told on 6/13/2012 that the warranty was not transferable to her and there would be a charge for replacing the failed motor ($730.00, which again is not $1000.00 as her review states.) According to her review and the phone conversation that I had with her yesterday, she is a lawyer. I do not know if that is true or not, but she repeated it several times, I will assume to ensure I was aware of her profession. I am unimpressed with the fact that she is a “lawyer” and doesn’t have the moral character to tell the truth. I cannot tell you what type of problems that she has had with the system after she refused our services/repair on 6/13/2012. I also cannot tell you the qualifications of the heating and air company/individual that she has hired in the last 2+ years to work on her system. What I can tell you is that I have records of every time we have been on the property to install, service or repair the system located @ her home along with records of every other customer that we have serviced in the last 12 years. You can read the other 65 reviews that we have on Angie’s list and get a pretty clear picture of my character and the character of my business.

Although it was not an emergency (didn't affect units working ability at all) they showed up within 24 hours to put in the drain for us. We were trying to sell the unit and the inspector said new rules required the drain line to be insulated. The gentleman who came checked it out and installed the pipe insulation in about 10 minutes. We have also had them install a unit in our home and have a maintenance agreement with them to service our unit yearly. We have been very pleased with their work.

Overall we had a good experience with them. They were really thorough. I think they're pretty good company.
Description of Work: We use Superior Heating & Air for air-conditioning. The humidity was really high in the house. So, we want to make sure if it has anything to do with the air-conditioner, they ended coming a couple of times. The drip pan was being full really fast. So, they have to figure out why it was doing that. They fixed that.

We woke up to a cold house, and after trying to reset the furnace ourselves, we call Superior. I had called two other places, and being Black Friday, I think they were considering this a holiday. So when Superior not only answered, but scheduled my appt. for the same morning, I was ecstatic. Superior's receptionist said they would call before the tech was headed out, and they did. The service tech, Chad, arrived about 10 minutes later. He was very polite and had diagnosed the problem (we needed anew ignitor) within 15 minutes. All in all, my repair took a total of 45 minutes. I would definitely recommend this business!

He came immediately on a Sunday. His actual words on the receipt -- "Everything started working when we removed the cover off the main control board for the dampers. Working fine now." For this he charged $150.00. A month later when it stopped working we called him back. He spent 45 minutes in our house looking at the dampers and then told me that his company doesn't work on zone type air conditioners.

Response from Superior Heating & Air
[member name removed] I thank you for your rating here on Angie's list. While it is not one that I am proud of, it does give me something to improve on with our business practices. It is true that we do not work on zone systems of any kind and I will make it a point to make this clear in our advertisements. We do not install them and therefore do not send technicians to school for the various brands installed in consumers homes due to the fact that most are "here today and gone tomorrow" in the residential arena. I would have been more than happy to discuss this service call and refund your $150 overtime, Sunday afternoon diagnostic fee from July 7, 2013 if you had made a phone call to our office and told anyone that you were unhappy. I would have sent your $150 back to you and referred you to the installing contractor or had you contact the maker of your zone system for a certified service company if you were unable to reach the installing contractor. In your case, I do apologize for the fact that our technician did not tell you the moment he saw that you had a zone system that we do not work on them. I do however understand our technician's thinking that since he was already there because you were hot enough to make a Sunday afternoon emergency service call he would attempt to get your air conditioning going if it were something as simple as a loose wire in your control panel. I have looked at the invoice today October 9, 2013 after I received your Angie's list complaint and yes, the technician stated that "everything started working when he took the cover off main control board". He also stated that there could be an intermittent problem and tightened all wires on the board. I apologize for the experience that you have had with our company and your zone system. While I would have welcomed a phone call to resolve this issue, I thank you for your post here on Angie's list. It will help tremendously with future calls and customers.

Contracted Superior to perform the work and they were on the job within three days. Esitmated to complete in tow days but took three and a half. Weather was mainly the problem. Workers were professional and went about their work in a timely manner. Only problem I encountered was (all the duct work was in the crawl space) removed insulation in some areas was not replaced, and there was a considerable amout of debris left under the house that I cleaned up. Overall, they were excellent. Joey sounds just like he does on the radio, and don't ask him to sing if he comes over for a quote.

My home air conditioner stopped blowing air. Since it was a weekend and I didn't want to pay the extra emergency fee I went online on Saturday to schedule the work for Monday. Less than 30 minutes after scheduling the work I received a call from a tech asking me for details of my problem. We discussed how much more it would cost to fix it on Saturday vs waiting until Monday. I told him I was fine waiting. He said that if I changed my mind just to give him a call back, but that he would be prepared first thing Monday to go to my house and diagnose/fix my air. First thing Monday morning I received a call from Superior. They sent the person I talked to on Saturday within 30 minutes. The problem was diagnosed within an hour, but we had to wait on parts. The tech told me he would be back with the parts by 1pm. He ended up being able to get the part and come back around 11am and was done fixing my air conditioner by noon. The tech was very professional, both in appearance and performance of work. I was told the complete bill up front and there were no surprises when the work was complete.

My house had been vacant for quite some time and though air conditioner and heater seemed to work find I want to have a professional assurances that everything was working correctly. When the house was inspected the inspector advised me to have coils cleaned. I called Superior as I was wanting to support a Harvest, AL business. Young man arrived and after spending only a few minutes checking the system...never did see him clean any coils; he accessed my air conditioner compressor needed a capacitor and a pole conductor. My gut told me

I am sorry that you were not satified with the service provided on 10-03-2012. I take pride in the services that Superior Heating and Air Inc provide to our valued customers. If you had contacted our office, I would have been more than happy to take care of your concerns in a timely manner. Unfortunately I found out about your complaint today Friday, 21 June 2013 via a post on Angies List. I did pull the invoice from our visit in October a few minutes ago after reading your post here on Angie's list. Our technician noted on his invoice that the indoor coil on your GOODMAN MODEL # ARUF30301BA SERIAL [member information removed] that is located in your attic was cleaned, the contactor and capacitor on your condensor outside were in poor shape and recomended replacement. While I would have much preferred a phone call with your displeasure with my employees, I do thank you for your comments posted here. I will use this experience as I do every experience that I have had with customers over the last 20 years to help improve our customer service to our valued customers.

I am a landlord and not in the local area. When I called the office the personnel were friendly and very helpful. They established contact with our renters and scheduled an appointment. They were prompt and arrived as scheduled. The service personnel performed the troubleshooting required to pin point the problem. Prior to repair the service personnel called me and discribe the problem and what was required for the repair. Also he provided the information for repair cost, this was broken down to parts and labor cost. Overall these are very professional people and I would do business again.
Description of Work: Heating and A/C failed to work, the fan inside house was operable, but compressor was not operating. After troubleshooting the unit the service person found a capacitor was bad and replaced it and then checked the system for correct gas pressure.
