I had already bought the unit. I wasn't completely satisfied considering the price. I liked the technician because he was nice and good with communication, but he was very slow. He did it over the course of 5 days, but it should have been done in one day. It was inconvenient for me because I had to stay home and adjust my schedule for him. He did a good job in the end, although I had to do some minor adjustments afterwards.
Description of Work: They replaced my ac unit in my wine cellar for $1,700 (installation only).

Thank you for reviewing our company. We appreciate all feedback. Unfortunately, we don't have a record of ever visiting your home for HVAC services or installations. Our records indicate that you've used our sister company for plumbing services once. but never for HVAC. Had we installed a new home comfort system, we would not have taken five days to install the unit. It takes about five hours -- give or take. This takes one day to complete. Is it possible that you have us confused with another company? We can assure you that our technicians don't take five days to install anything, nor would we inconvenience you. We value your precious time. We tried calling you last week to clear up any confusion, but the call went straight to voicemail. We left a message and hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks again.

Overall, we are disappointed. The work was done well and the guy was really nice, but the furnace itself has a loud blower. They said they could make an adjustment. They said they could put a damper in the vent and put some insulation behind the furnace because although it's in the garage it shares a wall with the den. I'm not sure that would solve the problem and the damper could damage our crown molding and paint. Our major concern when we looked into purchasing a unit was noise and we expressed that to them prior to buying. One a side note: they offered a verbal quote, but the end price was $300 higher. They recommended a more efficient unit to us, but we didn't know that would mean we would be sacrificing quietness. We can even hear it upstairs. When they came back out to discuss our options for the noise and they mentioned that our AC coil was very dirty but the installers had cleaned it and that there was a small Freon leak. They didn't mention that to us at the time of installation. Granted, we weren't there during the installation because they really wanted to get the job done for us the next day and we were unavailable.
Description of Work: We purchased a new furnace from them and they installed it.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to review our services. We’re sorry that you’re not satisfied with your new furnace. Let us begin by addressing the amount of the furnace unit. While we make every attempt to give you an accurate price when we submit a written or verbal proposal, there are instances when the cost could be slightly higher than we anticipated. In this particular instance, the Operations Manager, who went out to your home, gave you a cost range because he didn't know the actual amount off the top of his head. As for the noise level, our Operations Manager was dispatched to your home on December 12 to go over different solutions to rectify your problem. He offered to re-wire the furnace at no extra cost. We never heard back from you after his visit. We would still love to make things right. Please give us a call so we can resolve this concern. Thanks again for your feedback.

They were to refund the $69. The cost was expensive. They are professional, they know what they are doing, but they are very expensive. I think you can do better by shopping around a little bit, but they were able to get the new system within a day, but because July was very hot, and I had somebody here who was sensitive to heat, I had them do it.
Description of Work: I had purchased a big deal from Kalka Heating & Air Conditioning. It turned out that right before they came out to check, the air conditioner started malfunctioning, so I called them and told them to hold off the check but instead to come and look at the air conditioner. They sent someone out, and I wound up having to buy a new air conditioning unit put in.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to review our AC tune-up services. We appreciate your feedback. We're sorry that we didn't exceed your standards during our visit back in August. As you already know, refrigerant is expensive and it's usually not included with standard AC tune-ups. Our technicians never do extra work without your approval. It's possible that there might have been a miscommunication about the work. Please give us a call so we can clarify the matter. Thanks again for your feedback.

Three days ago I turned on my heater for the first time this season, but smelled smoke so I turned it off immediately and called Kalka. They sent their technician Jose the very next day to do a tune up and try to determine the cause of the smell. The problem was with the motor, which Jose did a great job of explaining to me. Given a choice of spending money to repair my 10-year-old Carrier or replace it, I decided to just replace it with a new HVAC. Kalka was able to send Johnny and Richard the next day to remove the old one and replace it with a new Maytag. The two of them worked well together as they were very careful to make sure nothing in my house was damaged. They all did a very professional job and I couldn't be more pleased. Johnny and Richard even helped me find my wallet which I had misplaced!

I called early Saturday morning to request same day visit. They called back around 11 and said they'd be by around 2. They pulled out the blower fan and took it with them, returning Monday to replace it as well as the capacitor, then recharged our freon as the unit hadn't been serviced in about 10 years.

I purchased a Big Deal for Kalka Heating and A/C for an HVAC tune up but they were not able to honor this deal because I had a repair that was needed instead of a tune up. I paid Kalka $60 for the visit for diagnosis instead of being able to use my Big Deal certificate so I would like to request a refund on this for $39, the price I paid for the Big Deal. Kalka told me to contact Angle's list directly for a refund.

First appointment was cancelled 2 hours past appointment time. Second Appointment was between and 8AM to 11 AM, I received call at 11 AM from CSR that technician is on his way. and technician arrived at 1 PM, since it was past appointment time it was rescheduled for September 26. Technician do not like vent cleaning, he was just AC tuning and maintenance person. He connected negative air machine and cleaned most vent grill from outside only. I asked for complete sanitizing and as per him it was $29 per vent. I paid 179 in coupon and additional $58 for two inlet vents.($29 per vent) I asked for forced air cleaning and this was never performed. 17 point AC tune was not performed, technician spent most of the time searching parts in his van and sitting in his van. it was complete waste of time and money. do not use this vendor ever. May be I will call Angies for refund for this crap service. Before purchase I confirmed with CSR about Dryer went is included or not ? CSR confirmed it is included and she would wonder why it will not include if it is unlimited vents. Technician refused dryer vent service.
