Heating & Air Conditioning Equipment & Repair, Furnace and Duct Replacement
About an hour after the repair the problem occurred again. A different technician return and replaced the thermostat which corrected the problem. They wanted to charge for both repairs even though the first repair did not correct the problem.
Description of Work: They installed and replaced a computer board in the furnace.

We are working with this customer to resolve differences. Atlas has left voicemail messages and recently an explanatory email with a request for a no charge revisit. Hopefully, this will happen in the near future. Lisa Tuck, Customer Service

.Atlas did a great job. They were very professional in every aspect, from the estimate and planning to the installation and follow-up. They took pains to keep the work areas clean. They were congenial and easy to work with. We are thrilled to have central heat throughout the house.

Excellent service. Atlas had to reschedule the first time because a storm caused massive power failures, so they called me and asked if they could reschedule, offering a 10% discount as an incentive. They came back on the date and did a thorough service, tuneup and specific adjustments. My HVAC filter is expensive and needed changing. I told the serviceman that I could get a replacement online much cheaper than Atlas, he made sure I knew the specs and how to replace the filter and did not push me to buy his more expensive filter.

They were good, but I was unaware up front that it was a two day job which means I had to take an extra day of work off. We ended up being out of heat for one day and there was a little confusion in the pricing, but the gentleman that came out was very kind and worked hard. We had some trouble getting an appointment set up, but once it was set, they came on time. The work done seems to be great!

They gave us the 10% discount on the service call fee. The price they gave us for the repairs was reasonable, though the furnace was 40 years old so we decided to replace not repair. They had an estimator come out right away. Their estimate was in keeping with the others we received.
Description of Work: They inspected our furnace to see what sort of repairs it needed.

Installed a new furnace and a/c unit. It was hot out and the install took to days so they made sure that the a/c system was up and working on the first day. Thanks to the installers for doing that. they left the work site clean every day. Very professional company. I would use them again.

Installation work caused some problems. These problems were corrected. As of 12/24/13: Atlas Heating read my review and called me in an attempt to rectify the situation. They did, and did a very good job. I willingly gave them an all "A" review. They were extremely helpful.

Response from Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning Co
Our records show one minor correction after the job was installed 12 years ago and one maintenance related call October 15 of 2004, (cleaned the burners). Then in March 2005, we replaced the inducer motor, an equipment part failure, with no charge for the part and a minor charge for labor. This customer has a Trane furnace, one of the top brands in 2001 and still very highly rated today. This customer was convinced that this furnace needed a big repair, but it turned out he did not. If the furnace acts up again, we will be here for him and help make it as palatable as possible. Thanks for being a loyal Atlas customer. Lisa Tuck, Office Manager

We are extremely happy with Atlas. We hired them largely because of great reviews on Angie's List. We wound up with a great system. The original installation was beautifully done, and they stuck with us until we were completely happy. As originally delivered, there were some problems with the way the wireless thermostats communicated with the central system computer, which caused excess airflow and temperature fluctuation. After carefully evaluating the situation, Atlas replaced the thermostat system and the zone control system (at no cost to us!); the result is the quiet efficient system we wanted. Dealing with problems is the real test of any company's commitment to fulfillment and customer service. Atlas really came through for us.
Description of Work: Replaced both furnace and air conditioner, upgraded single zone system to dual-zone system. Corrected problems with existing ducting, added new ducting. Added new whole-house electrostatic filter.

This customer has been with us since at least 1998 and plans to use us again she says. Her technician Eric Steffenson has been with Atlas for over 30 years and normally receives nothing but top reviews for his technical expertise and customer oriented attitude. We’re puzzled as management is all the same, no changes in 31 years. Our dispatcher, Rachel has been here 7 years. We have not changed our maintenance structure in the last 10 years. Our goal is to make and keep our customers happy that they did business with Atlas Heating. - Lisa Tuck, Owner

Atlas gave the best estimate, worked very efficiently and on time. They had to remove a number of very old (1930s to 1970s era) heaters. They also had to make a new heater system work in a 1920s house with limited room and options. Great job - it still works as well as it did almost 14 years ago.

The technician came out and found that we may have had a problem.T he company that installed the unit years back installed the air vents and ducts were not the proper size for the unit that was installed. Atlas refunded the special deal price and turned it into a bid to fix the issue. We have not acted on the job yet, but we do know it is an issue. I do find it very ethical that they turned it into the bid for future work and refunded the money back.

I love it! I interviewed about 4 different companies and Atlas was the most professional. They answered all of my questions and did not talk down to me. The work was done on time and my home was left spotless. They were very thorough with the inspection in the crawl space. We discussed where the vents would be placed. I feel like Atlas and I were working together to get the air flowing through my house. They did everything they promised they would do. I purchased the whole unit from them. Once they looked at all of the dimensions of the house, they recommended a system for me. I was completely pleased with their work. I appreciate that I was treated as a partner in the job that was done.
Description of Work: They put in whole heating system.

They're excellent! They're very efficient and the tech was good. The best part was when the inspector came and looked at the system - he was very impressed with the job. I recommend them highly. The price was reasonable for the value of product I received.
Description of Work: They put in a new heating system - replaced it entirely. They ran a new duct into our kitchen, where there wasn't ductwork previously. They had to cut into the floor as well. The process took about 3 days.

The four-zone programmable thermostat that came with the house when I bought it developed a mind of its own: every 10 seconds it would switch from one program to another, and then back to the first one. Neither program did what I wanted. I managed to limp by for a while with manual overrides, but that wasn't a long-term solution. Atlas came out, looked at the thermostat, pronounced it unrepairable (not a surprise, it's pretty old), and told me that I needed (1) a new thermostat (2) three new sensors (3) a new control board (4) four new dampers for the four zones, for $4500. So I got a second bid from another contractor, who did it for half the price, without needing to replace the dampers. In a follow-up phone conversation with Bob, the owner of Atlas, he stated that approx. $2000 would be a fair price for four new dampers installed in a crawl space; doing it in a crawl space would require more labor. My sticking point was that no explanation was given for why this extra work needed to be done. I was impressed with Bob's concern about why my report of my experience with Atlas was different from nearly all of the other reports posted here.

Response from Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning Co
This is the first of two reviews from this member (the other being below) and we are glad to know that we were able to answer his questions about this part of the project even though he didn’t choose us to perform the work. We will always recommend what we believe is the best solution for a customer’s problem. Sometimes this is not the cheapest option but replacing the 22 year old dampers on his system was deemed the most effective way to ensure his system was not only able to be warranted, but also keep it running properly and reliably. Our most veteran tech Eric Steffensen made this recommendation and after the owner, Bob, spoke to the member it seems he understands why we suggested the repairs. This member has been a customer for several years and we want to make sure his system stands the test of time. - Lisa, Atlas Heating and Air Conditioning
