James Cavanaugh and his crew very professional. Arrived promptly, explained the work to be done, answered my questions and addressed any concerns, and went directly to work, Very respectful of property and home. Worked diligently and wasted no time; theirs or mine. At the end of installation, they carefully explained the new features, such as the thermostat, and the new electronic air filter. James, the lead installer, particularly ensured I was satisfied with the the work done. Absolutely recommend this Company and their talented staff. Kudos to Taylor Owen who strived to satisfy my initial demands and give me peace of mind that I was getting the best price for the best product. Mr. Owen was very prompt in returning all my calls and behaved as if I were his most important customer!

The young representative was extremely arrogant. He spent the majority of the appointment discrediting my top-of-the-line Lennox system and attempted to sell me thousand dollar "add-ons" that I "had to have". Truly this was just a marketing trip for ID--shame on them. I sent him away and requested he NOT come back.

They checked out our water heater (18 years old) and determined there was no urgency to replace it at this time. They were knowledgeable and professional, and did not charge us for the inspection. I would definitely hire them if I needed their services in the future.

Technician Rob called first, sent a text, including picture. He was on time, was friendly, took us through every step. He made recommendations for improvement to the system, which, while not inexpensive, made perfect sense to us, so, guided by his suggestions, we made those changes. He spent a lot of time here, making sure everything was right. He is clearly intelligent, competent, and great at customer relations. I would highly recommend Intelligent Design for AC/heating work. We have had, so far, only this one experience, but we are very satisfied and intend to keep them as our regular go-to service company.

I was very impressed with these guys. They arrived on time and were quick in giving me the quote. I scheduled the work for the next day and they did a great job. I had tried to do some work myself beforehand and they graciously fixed my mistakes for me. While fixing my mistakes they instructed me on how to do it correctly, also giving me tips on maintenance.

Maintenance service and inspection was performed and I was told that my unit needed additional coolant. To which I told the service technician to go ahead and add up to the 2 lbs of coolant as advertised. The tech explained that he could not do that since the unit must have leaked and he would have to identify the site of the leak, which required a $195 dye service (not included in the maintenance/inspection program I had paid for). The tech then tried to sell me an annual service agreement, which was quite expensive, but would cover leak detection and recharging of refrigerant into my a/c unit. I declined. I feel that Integrity Heating & Cooling Service, although very professional-appearing, primarily intends to find "problems" upon which to sell additional services to the consumer.

Response from Intelligent Design Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Solar, & Electric
I am very sorry that you feel that way about our service. Unfortunately it is a violation of federal law to put refrigerant in without a leak search and for us to do so could have major implications on the future of our business. The best and most accurate way to find the leak is inject a dye kit into the system so that we can identify where it is and seal it. As far as the discount with the membership; all of our club members receive discounts on our services. This is not a sales tactic it is a service and benefit that we provide to our club members. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Thank you. – Andrew Dobbins

Ours was not a good experience. The initial diagnosis was that there was a blown capacitor which would cost less that $100 to repair. To be fair, we were also told at that time that the blower motor might have to be replaced as well. We approved the capacitor replacement, but that did not fix the system. Then we were told that the new blower motor was required at a cost over $700. We were certainly left with the impression that this would solve the problem. We approved the blower motor replacement, but this STILL did not fix the problem. We were then told that replacing a circuit board, at a cost of an additional $750, would certainly fix the problem. By this time, we were no longer had faith in the diagnosis of the repair agent. We decided to replace the system instead, so we will never know whether his assessment was correct or not. We had paid out $890 in repair costs, and we still did not have a functioning system. If we had received an accurate diagnosis from the start, we would have immediately opted for replacing the aging system with a new one. Intelligent Design was not willing to receive back the capacitor or blower motor, even though they had never actually been used. We had to argue and dicker with them to get them to give us a partial refund of $350 for the unused items. We had to remove the components ourselves and deliver them in pristine condition to the Intelligent Design office. Intelligent Design claimed that their bid for installation of a new system included some credit for the unsuccessful repairs. But we would only get those credits if we accepted their bid. I do not like being manipulated in this way and that was a major factor in deciding against their bid. Instead, we got a Trane system put in for substantially less than what Intelligent Design bid. We saved money by choosing a different contractor, even after taking in to account the net $540 that we paid to Intelligent Design for the service call that fixed nothing.
Description of Work: Diagnosis and price estimate on repairs to a malfunctioning central A/C system. We expected the service charge to cover an accurate diagnosis of what was wrong, and what it would cost to fix it. We explained to the service agent that we would decide on the basis of his diagnosis whether to repair the old system, or replace it with a new one.

The work as of the moment I am writing this review is ongoing, but given Intelligent Designs response and performance thus far, I am confident that it will be resolved quickly, satisfactorily and competently. It is very difficult to find honest and capable vendors; it can be very hit and miss. I am fortunate to have come across Intelligent Design and to have had them respond to my needs. I highly recommend, without hesitation, Intelligent Design to anyone who needs service on their A/C for any reason.
Description of Work: My A/C went out on a Thursday night (100 degree temp outside). They responded very quickly. The reps on the phone were pleasant and friendly. They did not charge a premium to respond after hours and the tech that responded (Jeremy) was one of a kind in the best way. The situation was certainly not worst case, but not ideal. Jeremy went above and beyond to try and rectify everything that he could to help me and the kids out. He was compassionate and his concern was obvious and genuine. Aside from the undesirable scenario that brought me to have to call them, this was a great experience and I think I have made a connection that will last a long time.

It was wonderful, Rob is a knowledgeable technician. He found part of my system was not working, he recommended a fix and completed it immediately. He gave me tips in how to keep my system running at full efficiency and also recommended a way to keep the cost of maintenance low.

It went extremely well; Jeremy did excellent repair work on the AC, which was working really well before the Aero Seal was installed, which was good since it's incredibly hot. He explained all of the problems to us. Javelin worked all day to install the Aero Seal, and he did an excellent job under difficult circumstances because my son's home alarm kept reporting that there was a fire. He dealt really well with all of the chaos; he is an extremely nice and hard working young man.

I would not recommend them. We have had so much trouble with this company. They were trying to start a place in Gilbert and they moved back to Tucson. They were very expensive and we feel like we made a bad decision. I don' t know if we got a lemon or what but never again. We have tried to get them to replace it because we've had it for one year and we've had them out for 6 service calls and they will not replace it. They keep saying we bought a new Lenox. I keep saying oh we want to do right by Lenox. It's under warranty and we can't replace it until I don't know when. They are not replacing it but they keep coming out and they do fix it but it doesn't ever stay fixed. We have had so many problems with it. We thought they were going to have a company here in the Mesa-Gilbert area which is close to Phoenix but they backed out and now they are in Tucson. I don't know if this is their fault or not, but it is very frustrating because they are in Tucson and we are here and they told us they would be in Mesa-Gilbert. Normally you buy a product like this and you never have any problems and that's the end of that but in one year we've had 6 service calls. The last service call they actually charged us $49 to come out and do whatever they did. It leaked twice and they had to add Freon twice and they had to replace the compacitor and then they had to replace some other major but they will not give us another one. We are so frustrated with them. It takes them a long time to get out to us. Our mistake - we paid them too much money. They were expensive. We probably could have gone locally and gotten a much better deal. It was one of those decisions that you regret. The owner came out to talk to us and we were really rooting for him and that's why we decided to go with him and that wasn't a good reason. They are far away and honestly I think they try to get out. They come at strange hours and they don't seem to know the area. It was a really dumb reason to make this decision. We met him at the home show.
