It went fine and I'm perfectly satisfied. They weren't any extra charges and they said that they were in good condition. They spent time looking at them. They checked all the wires and stuff. They didn't need freon or anything like that. They did bump our appoint, which was a little frustrating. They called and said they had other priority things to do, so we had to reschedule although once they actually got here it was okay.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal from Intelligent Design Air Conditioning And Heating. It was $55 for the tune-up and checking the air conditioner, but I have two air conditioning units and they gave me the same deal for the second one.

From initial contact via the Tucson, AZ Christian Business Directory,,, through their 'look, see, advise'... and eventually - installation -- we appreciated Intelligent Design's friendly and cordial approach. We were pleasantly surprised when the owner himself (Andrew Dobbins) showed up at our house to perform the final inspection and orientation for us.
Description of Work: Replaced air conditioning and heating with more modern technology. Disposed of old system and recycled. Owner made final inspection himself and walked us through the new system and answered all of our questions. The entire staff was very friendly and the installers left no mess behind. Before the install we had 2 service calls on our old system and the service department called every time prior to arrival to let us know they were on the way. Unit is MUCH easier to use; especially to replace the air filter!

didn't actually do any work but responded very quickly on an emergency call!
Description of Work: Actually, I purchased the big deal because I thought that was all that was needed (the big deal service). My daughter's A/C quit working on an extremely hot day and she had a 5 month old baby and a 6 yr old. The repairman responded quickly (emergency call), took a look and gave his diagnosis. The cost was too high for my daughter to pay but she had a cousin in law who could do it for lots less but had been on-call doing work for his own company. The repairman was very professional, said he understood, and let her keep the coupon for later use!

Mike showed up right on time to do the initial inspection and found a couple of items that needed attention. The one part was needed to be ordered and I was told it would be available in a couple of days. When the part arrived, it was damaged and a new one had to be ordered that added another 4-5 days to the completion of the job. The price was more than reasonable and the work was excellent. It just took a little effort to finally get another tech out to the house to finally get the job done.

Response from Intelligent Design Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Solar, & Electric
Thank you for letting us know about this. We appreciate it. Please call us and we will refund your money or send a different technician to inspect your system. We have researched who the employee was that went to your home and discovered that we had already terminated his employment due to similar situations and not following company ethics policies by making up his own pricing. I am sorry that you were one of the customers that he saw in the brief time he was with our company. Please accept my apology. The pricing stated above is not in the Intelligent Design Air Conditioning and Heating price list. Intelligent Design does not allow its employees to charge outside our company standards or recommend items that are not necessary for service or install. We hold to the highest of ethical standards recommending only necessary items if discovered at the time of service/inspection. When we discovered this employee was doing this he was quickly let go. Thank you -Andrew Dobbins(owner)

Duct sealing service was completed in one day. Crew needed to take over that garage for all their equipment. Hole was made in air handler for connection and resealed. The air return was insulated. That crew did better cosmetics on the duct sealing previously done. Initial estimate was for a humidifier manufactured by Honeywell. Another provider provided estimate for humidifier manufactured by Aprilaire. After checking online reviews, I decided on the Aprilaire unit and Intelligent Design (Andrew) offered this unit to me, despite their never having installed one before. Because the installation was, in fact, easier than the Honeywell unit, Andrew has been offering Aprilaire to potential customers. I guided Andrew and his crew about controlling the humidifier from new thermostat, so they had to order such from Aprilaire. The installation instructions did not mention the newer thermostat. I was happy to be involved in this process. Crew (Manny) was most professional and enlightened me about the different colored wires that manage the AC/Furnace. It was a pleasure to work with him. I am pleased with the operation of this Aprilaire unit. Invoicing this job took too long. I had to call Andrew a few times to get the bill. When I received it, the address was wrong and the total price differed from that quoted. But the TEP rebates were applied off the top, so I did not need to file for them.
Description of Work: Sealed existing duct work in the house. Insulated the air return. Added new humidifier to the existing AC/Furnace which required a new electrical circuit. Installed new thermostat.

On or about May9, 2013 the work began. Both heaters removed and one of the coolers and existing ductwork was tied in together to make it one consistent piece of ductwork. Electrical was installed and new units were put in place. At this time the one existing cooler was removed. New AC vents were installed and the testing of the new units began. As of this date June 3, 2013 we are still having to tweak a few things to get the airflow correct and by Monday all will be done at 100%! Now let me tell you from the very beginning I have felt quite comfortable with Intelligent Design being the company that we chose. They have been professional from the explaination of how the process of how the installation would take place to the final inspection. I am not a person who is easily blown away by salesmen and their gift of gab, but Jason Watson, who was our first contact with Intelligent Design was so easy to talk to! He answered our questions in a way that we could understand and believe me we had tons! As the work began everyone that came to our home treated us with the utmost respect and workmanship. They always thought about our comfort as a matter of fact, they even brought us a portable AC unit while they removed the old equipment. I even had neighbors comment about how neat the installers were. When I would return home from work everything was in its place as if they were never here. Intelligent Design definitely puts the customer first in every aspect of this install. I feel very comfortable highly recommending Intelligent Design for any heating or cooling job! I would not say that I am a difficult customer buy I do want the job done right and for me Intelligent Design went beyond 110%! In closing I would like to thank Jason, John, Wes, Manny, Carlos & Rachel for making this such a wonderful experience! The cusomer service is by far the best I have seen in a company in a long time. Thank you, Bill & Rose Ayup

I obtained 3 quotes for replacing my heating and cooling system. The other quotes from RiteWay and B&J were varying in price. One was close and the other was significantly less but with much less offered in the scope of work and did not do the proper measurements for sizing. Intelligent Design offered much more in service and in product. The presentation was conducted in a very professional manner, especially in comparison to the other 2 companies. The Installation went very smoothly. The workers arrived right on time and were very courteous. They were excellent in accommodating our needs when we needed to leave and go somewhere and/or keeping their tools organized and out of the way. They were extremely thorough in cleaning up everything at the end of each day. The project took a full 3 days and was completed right on schedule with when they projected. We also contracted to have insulation blown into the attic. When the insulation estimator came out we had a small miscommunication that was immediately resolved by the owner of Intelligent Design. Now that the system has been installed it works as promised. We are fully enjoying a perfectly controlled climate. When we recently went on a 2 week vacation we turned the thermostat up to 85 degrees. A few hours before we returned home we used our new Lennox iPhone app to lower the temperature back to 77 degrees so that our home was perfect for us when we walked in the front door. We love our new Lennox system and the great benefits that it offers. It even will notify us if something is slightly off in the system via email so that issues can be fixed before any major issues occur. We are very happy with Intelligent Design and will refer them to our family and friends.
Description of Work: Intelligent Design Air Conditioning And Heating installed 21 Series air conditioning and heating system for us. Also we got air purification, duct sealing, insulation and air seal.

initial responsiveness was terrific, the design and custom work was top notch. the goal was to conceal everything and they went out of their way to ensure that finished product. Once it was up on the roof there were some finishing touches that needed to be completed by a different vendor that they were coordinating with, and that vendor fell through which caused some frustration. However they stepped up and responded in a very professional manner. Outside of the hiccup on the finishing touches I love my system and the craftsmanship the put into it. I actually show people the work that I wanted them to hide because they did it so well and I want to show it off. Overall was a very good experience, everyone was quite knowledgeable and had good follow through.

What an amazing company! We found Intelligent Design on Angie's list and went with them due to the reviews. Another reason we chose to have them do our work was that we went onto their website and realized they were a Christian owned company. Later we heard them on the radio and found that they sponsor the K-LOVE radio station. After we purchased they sent out an install manager to measure the walls, windows, doors and all the other things that would let them know the amount of heat that was coming into our home so they could properly size our new system. He also measured for all the metal connections and other things the installers would need so he could prepare everything ahead of time. When the install day came the first thing they did was a pressure test(blower door) of the home so we could see how much air was lost through leaks. When they were running the test they had me go around the house and feel where the leaks were. Once we found out that we were leaking a lot of air we bought some outlet/light switch gaskets so that we can put them in later. I was surprised at how much air was leaking from the ducts too. They also ran the test when they were all done and were able to reduce our duct leaks by over 200CFM which is like 1/2 ton of cooling. I was very impressed with the improvement. I am a very curious person and I wanted to watch the install. A lot of installers would not like that but these guys were OK with it and they answered questions and showed me things throughout the process. I really enjoyed that I was able to do that. The installers were so personable and professional. The install quality is pristine. They even sealed things around the unit so no pack rats or other animals could get in around the unit to under the home. I am telling everyone we can about how wonderful our experience has been. We have also realized in the weeks after the install that we don't have to dust as often. We used to dust every couple of days and now we can go at least a couple of weeks before having to dust. The only thing we can attribute this to is the new install and sealing of the ducts. I'd like to add they even included a maintenance agreement with my purchase so I don't have to worry about that for several years.

Excellent Experience! After being told by another company they are no longer taking new customers, we went to Angie's List and there we realized that we had met the owner of Intelligent Design at one of the home shows. We purchased the service coupon through Angie's List, called Intelligent Design and got scheduled for the next day. Chris arrived on time, was very knowledgeable and professional. On top of that, he's a Steeler's fan! Chris will be our 'go to' guy for all future service calls. Chris said that although our a/c until was old and not very efficient, it was working as well as it could. We have been researching a/c units for a few months, knowing that we would need to replace ours soon; however, we have guests arriving at the end of the month and we wanted to be sure there would be no issues during their stay. At our request, Chris scheduled an appointment for us to meet with Andrew Dobbins, the owner, to give us an estimate to replace our tired, old, inefficient unit. Stay tuned.....

Very professional! We are already referring them to our friends and family.
Description of Work: Intelligent Design performed a complete energy audit to find the most efficient way to lower our bill. They offered several system options and knew their products inside and out. They were very courteous, friendly, and professional. They were able to answer every question that we had. They were also able to install it very soon after we decided to purchase. The installers worked very diligently on the job all day, showed up on time and were very clean, left no mess behind, and showed us how to use the new thermostat. After the job was complete the Owner of Intelligent Design came out to inspect the installers work and make sure it was to his standards and make sure that we were happy with everything. Items we purchased: high seer quiet package system, whole house air purification, steam humidification, new thermostat, duct seal of the supply and return, and it came with a routine maintenance package.

Description of Work: Andrew was courteous, very professional and really exceptional about answering all my questions and helping me in the ways I needed. He did a blower door test and smoke test to see if my ducts were leaking. He performed much of an energy audit for me before making recommendations. He also works with the best people in town. He is exceptionally good.

Intelligent Design is Marine veteran owned and operated and they run like a well oiled machine. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I am a Marine Corps Veteran. I met the Andrew the owner at the home show and we set an appointment. He too is a Marine veteran and the company has a third the employees that are veterans of the military. When Andrew came out he performed an energy audit and showed us the different things we could do to save money in our home. We decided it was going to be a good investment to put in a 16 seer package system and replace all the old ducting that was leaking. Intelligent Design also sealed all the ducting and pressure tested before and after so that we could get all the TEP rebates available to us. The crew came out and they were great! The were extra careful to be clean and even brought away garbage that they were not responsible for. I was amazed that how they cleaned up at the end of each day. They were on time and were very polite. If I could think of a perfect word that describes the installers it would be RESPECTFUL. We even notice that they didn't act like most other construction workers cussing and complaining. There attitudes were cheerful and professional. The job was completed very quickly considering all the work that had to be done.
