The installers were on time and very professional. I forgot the name of the main installer but he was very helpful in explaining what they were doing, answering my questions and showing me how to use the new smart thermostat. Chris, the representative that gave me the quote and made the sales came over as the installation was being completed to assure that all went well and I was satisfied with the installation. Over all everyone I spoke with either in person or on the phone were always very personable and helpful I would highly recommend this company

Never showed up, never called as promised.
Description of Work: Called because central air was not working. Made an appointment - first available was a week out. They came out, said it needed more freon. I asked the man would it be better to just get a new unit. He said he would have the sales department call me that day. I said I was anxious to get everything working because it was my 90-year old mother's house. They never called. It cost $89.00 I believe, just to have them show up. I had made a second appointment for a rental we own. The day of that appointment, they texted and said their worker called in that day, and they had to reschedule. Of course I never called them back. I called Ace Air instead. They came out the SAME DAY (not a week later), and replaced my entire unit the next morning!! Oak Air is a rip off.

Response from OAK ISLAND HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
I'm sorry that you feel we let you down. I've spoken to our service department about this. They had called you to set up an appointment but you were not there, so they left a message for you and did not hear back. We don't have any record of setting up an appointment time for your rental. I wish you would have spoken to the office before giving us such a bad review. We are a family owned and operated business and we do everything we can to make sure our customers are happy. I'm so sorry you didn't get the message that we called. You did pay $79 for our service tech to come and diagnose that your existing unit needed to be replaced. Once again, I'm sorry for the miscommunication. The last thing we wish to do is turn away any business.

In 2002 we hired Oak Island to replace our old heating systems completely. At the time we also added air conditioning and all duct work was replaced. We were extremely happy with their professionalism and Lennox HVAC system. 15 years later, we hired them again to replace the air conditioning that still had 5 to 7 years life left. Oak Island has maintained their high standards of excellence and professionalism all these years later. I highly recommend them.

Very well. They were very professional and respectful of my condo and my possessions. Cleaned up after themselves every day (was a 3 day job). I love my new system and have already enjoyed both the heating and air conditioning, which is very efficient.

They were really good. They'd included a certain wi fi thermostat, it's basically a Lenox thermostat, on the quote. Then they showed up with, it was still a wi fi , but it wasn't the quality of the Lenox one. So I emailed the owner, I think he's the owner or one of the managers of the business, and he immediately said yeah they should have brought a different one. He actually brought it out from Escondido right away. They set it in during what is vacation time for me. I'm sure they wanted to make sales by end of year but they also accommodated my schedule. They weren't the cheapest. The installers were really professional. The person who was basically the sales person, was extremely. When he came to give me the estimate, I was still mulling them all over and just his professionalism basically signed the contract right then. They did try to come down in price to match another quote I had from another company that dealt Lenox. So ultimately if you included the discount card, which was $520, the prices were pretty similar. They really wanted my business so they were willing to work and include the nicest thermostat they could. It's pretty impressive, you can basically turn off your furnace or change the temperature from your cell phone while you're away from home. It was really nice. They were actually early for the install. Probably didn't make my next neighbor real happy but I shushed the dogs as quickly as possible. There was no trace that they had even installed the thing. They took away the old furnace. They had to do some wood work to support the furnace. Everything was swept up and you couldn't even tell they'd been there.
Description of Work: They installed our furnace.

The 3 man crew arrived on time and completed the work in one day. The old compressors were removed and replaced with high efficiency units. The old stamped steel registers (vents) in each room would rattle when air passed through them, so they replaced them all with registers with individually adjustable louvers... no more noise! They also replaced the copper coils and the air exchanger boxes. The guys worked hard and finished in one day. Everything works great!

They did an amazing job. They are backed by Costco, which helped with our final decision. We received 3 quotes and went with Oak Island even though they were not the cheapest. After meeting with all 3, I trusted Oak Island and was not disappointed. They were punctual, professional, and did exactly what they said they were going to do - including leaving my house clean and hauling everything away.

The owner was wiling to drive almost an hour to get to us in the mountains to give us a bid. I felt he was thorough in his evaluation and the guys who actually did the work were fabulous, even helping us out with a problem we had with the existing heating unit. The work was meticulously executed.

Cris Young has come out four or five times and is always pleasant. I have not been charged any more than originally bid and Cris has adapted to whatever my contractor can throw at him. We have had to build interim work-arounds so that I could still use my furnace during the remodel. This has included building alternate routes for returns; modifying airflow on the Lennox furnace, and rerouting and changing supply registers. Cris's team has been out to address each issue within the time frame I requested. (usually within 1-2 days) and provided guidance to both my contractor and me with ways to improve airflow and performance. He has smiled at each visit and always says "it is part of our customer service", even though his team has made more trips than either of thought at the onset. Even any rework that could partly be attributed to my contractor, or to me, has been absorbed by Oak Island without any questions or comments. And we still have at least one more visit after the construction is completed to install more registers and re-adjust the furnace once the drywall (from construction) is repaired. While my remodel is taking more time and effort (and likely money) than anticipated, Oak Island has been the champ through all of this. I am highly confident that my HVAC system will be everything that I anticipated, and I highly recommend Cris Young, and the whole Oak Island team.
Description of Work: Oak Island was out again as part of a continuing project related to a home remodel. There have been several visits as we are modifying a drop ceiling and some walls and this has resulted in several iterative changes to both supply ducts and registers as well as the return chase. While the initial install in October included an expectation of one or two return visits, Oak Island has had to return several times as we peel back layers and have to adjust around beams we cannot cross.

The installation was not easy, given that the furnace is above the closet in master BR. They did a good job of protecting all pathways to the unit and cleaning up each day. They cleaned up old security wires that were crimping one duct and engineered a new return register to add more airflow to system. Also installed a WiFi thermostat that I can control with phone from anywhere. It appears to be more economical than old furnace, but have not used the AC. There were a few minor issues and we still have some work due to upcoming renovations, but this was known in advance and followup communication was quick and visits scheduled. They have done all they said they would, and I expect the remaining tasks will be completed and coordinated with my contractor without any problems.
Description of Work: Oak Island is the local Lennox rep and handles several (but not all) the local Costco stores. I needed a new furnace (and the AC was not working) along with a review of my duct work, since I had several rooms with virtually no airflow (Heat or AC). I had suspected that there were some partially obstructed ducts and had several other companies come in to give quotes or make suggestions. Cris Young (owner of Oak Island) was the most professional in his approach. There was also a bonus rebate from Costco.

Not selected. #1 issue was requirement of 100% up front vs 10% plus payment plan. Chris stated this was a COSTO requirement to get the $1000 rebate. Calls to COSTCO were not returned. Costs were highest of all quotes, Very professional and informative. Compared 7 local installers. Decision made considering AHRI results, costs, Angie's list rating, and Consumers Reports rating. Would consider for future evaluations

The work was done well and issues we encountered were fixed promptly, for the most part. The attic hatch access repair took a while to get scheduled and done--but, in the end, it was done very well. I was kind of expecting to get a follow up call from the owner to see how things went, but I did not get one. Did receive the promised Costco gift card promptly. I am happy with the equipment, it seems to make the house very comfortable and our energy bills are lower than they were last year. It is not any fun to spend so much money on something that you don't really see, however, I do think the investment will make our house more comfortable and hopefully a bit more valuable.
