Response from Personal Plumbing, Heating & Cooling
Hello Mr. [Member Name Removed], Am sorry that the work that we performed 06/2016 was not to your complete satisfaction. Was there something specific that we could have done better? I see we have not returned to your home since we provided service last summer. I appreciate you giving us a call last year. If there is something better we can do for you in the future, I hope we're given the opportunity. Best, Excel Air Corp

Description of Work: Had an air conditioner installed. Also had a pre-paid maintenance schedule (6 visits, one every 6 months). Performed the first 5 visits in a timely manner. Had an appointment for another visit but nobody showed up as scheduled, and I was never notified why. I called about a week later and they said someone had called in sick. No explanation about why I wasn't notified. They didn't offer to set up another appointment and to be honest I didn't want to work with them again.

I gave them C for punctuality because he was late and nobody called me to let me know that he got stuck on another job.
Description of Work: I purchased Angies "big deal" for A/C inspection and we used them when our AC stopped working. The guy who was suppose to performed the service was nice and knowledgable. the found what was wrong and it was not AC it was the breaker so they did not do actula work, they just found what was the issue taht actually saved us money.

Scheduling the visit was not without its problems, resulting in some last-minute rescheduling. The technician, however, was punctual and polite and performed a quite thorough inspection of the system. I am very satisfied with the service and have contracted with Excel for annual routine maintenance service.
Description of Work: Excel performed a complete routine maintenance checkup of my HVAC system as an Angie's List Big Deal. Included were checking refrigerant pressure, cooling performance, electrical connections and equipment safety features. Also included was cleaning the condenser coils.

I felt he was there to sell me sonething I really didn't need.
Description of Work: The person came in, i showed him to the air conditioner and around the house with the air on. The air was not flowing out of the vents as it should, we thought it was due to a clog in the ducts, but was mostly because the air filter was old. He told me I needed to replace it and showed me the size on the filter. We turned on the AC and there was not much difference in the air flow. He went outside to the AC unit and put meter on it, then said it was good but the freon was low and I should have more, the cost was $170.00! then he left. the whole process took 20 minutes! He left.

Response from Personal Plumbing, Heating & Cooling
Sorry to hear that you felt our technician was "trying to sell you something". I did review the invoice that he left with you. From what I read it looks like your air flow problem was due to a clogged filter that had not been changed in quite some time. He removed the filter and your air flow was back to "normal". Instead of charging you for a new filter he offered to let you replace it and gave you the size needed. This was done to save you money. He also checked your AC and found that the system was low on its refrigerant charge. He left you with and estimate of $175 to recharge the system, which you did not wish to have done. I do not see that he tried to sell you anything but what was needed to get your system back to factory specifications. He went as far as to show you how to save money by replacing your own filter instead of paying us to do so. Unfortunately these system checks do sometimes find problems. Especially when the system had not been regularly maintained as evident from the completely impacted filter you had on your system Our goal is to keep you as a customer. You need to have your equipment checked every year. We would like to be the company that does this service for you.

It went smoothly and as expected. I scheduled the service two weeks in advance.
Description of Work: I took advantage of the Angie's List special for the A/C and heating system check ($39). The technician arrived during the scheduled time slot and performed the work promptly and professionally. He checked the A/C system (contractor installed) and the heating unit in the attic. He replaced the air filter (not changed by tenants in over 4 years!) and replaced filter with a low quality washable filter. (I will get a better one at HomeDepot). He then proceeded to check the a/c unit outside the house measuring settings and checking vibrations. He let me know that the capacitor reading was lower than expected and I had a hard start capacitor installed ($175). He finished the project by washing the A/C unit and recommending I do the same annually.

The company called and cancelled twice. The third time the technician arrived on time and did a good job., (gave a B on punctuality for cancellations). Work went fine. They did not change the filter as the deal had described but tech said it did not need changing.

First appointment was 4 weeks then they did not show. Then the soonest they could come out what is 3 weeks later. Half of the summer was already over. When they finished they recommended ceiling the unit in hanging the ducting. The estimate was 1730 dollars. I declined and decided to get another company to give a bid. They did the job for 340 dollars. I don't know how they could be in a much higher. System now works great and I saved over 1300 dollars by not using Excel Air.

Travis said he would call Maytag Monday morning and call me back with the cost. He called me Monday morning and said he had spoken to Maytag and was waiting for them to get back to him. They are not a Maytag authorized dealer, so they were having problems getting information and a replacement from Maytag. The General manager (Howard Moxley) called me back (Tuesday Afternoon) and said that I might be better off going to an authorized dealer. He even found the dealer for me and checked the model number to verify that the unit was still under warranty. He said if I had any problems they could do the job, but since it was under warranty, it might be quicker and cheaper to deal with an authorized dealer. It's nice to find a dealer that is more interested in helping the customer than making a few bucks. Lyle Hagedorn
Description of Work: I recently had my Air Conditioner quit working so I called Excel Air Corp to repair the unit. They were very busy ( it was when it first got hot), but they got me in on Saturday morning (1 day later). Their repairman, Travis, came right on time and diagnosed the problem in about 15 minutes. He found that the compressor was bad. The unit was only 6 years old and he said it should be covered under warranty, that he would call Maytag and see if he could get a warranty replacement .

They’ve been helpful and I’ve used their services about 3-4 times. They do look for specials to accommodate; very often I have a basic need, which they try to find the best price for. Recurring customers also get great service.
Description of Work: I’ve used them for both business (I’m a realtor) as well as personal. About a year ago, they installed a heating system in my town home.

The owner, Alex Kuhtarev, inspected our heating system that recently stopped working and provided estimates of various options to replace the heater and the ducting system. He was very helpful in providing an analysis for the best options for our situation. What I liked about this company is they did not just try to sell something, but they seemed to have our best interest in mind and allowed us to choose from a list of recommendations. Work, including obtaining permits, was done in a timely fashion according to the contract price, and with very high quality. We considered adding solar elecric service/panels to our home and received the same professional advice, including detailed analysis of our historical electric usage. Alex provided us with various options and recommendations for the appropriate system for our situation. Excel Air also worked very well with the roofing contractor, Schott Roofing, in a coordinated effort to provide the best long-term solution for flashing (leak prevention) around the solar panel supports. Work was done very professionally, including permits, coordination with the utility company, completed on-time, and according to contract price. In addition, after opening our electric servide panel, they provided advice for repair of some wiring damaged from rodents and offered a quick and easy solution to correct the problem. Overall we're very satisfied with the workmanship and service Excel Air has provided us and we highly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Replaced our broken gas heater and air ducts with a new high efficiency model. Added solar electric panels/system.

I had a poor experience with them. After they installed and left everything seemed very well. Ten days later I thought I had heard water running upstairs. It sounded as if it was going through the walls. My husband heard it in the downstairs as well. What had occurred was they did not put the condensation line to the outside. For ten days we had a gallon of water an hour accumulating in our attic. It finally broke through. It leaked upstairs and downstairs on our carpet. We had to have people come out to make sure there was no mold.They blamed our internal plumbing. A gentleman Howard Moxley came out and put holes in our drywall only to find out that it was in fact their fault. I had to work with them and their legal department about the issue for months and months.
Description of Work: They installed a complete new HVAC system.

I contacted Exelair because I saw their ad on a postcard i received in the mail. I do not usually refer to those cards, but already had an estimate from a service that was recommended by a friend and wanted to get a second estimate. They were available the same day to come out which was excellent; as my furnace was not working anymore (and it was very cold in the house) so I wanted to get this done asap. Steve arrived promptly and was friendly, professional, personable, knowledgable, and experienced. And for these reasons I chose to use Exelair. Their price was much better too. I knew I was in good hands with Steve handling this job. (Plus- he is an Eagle Scout!) He explained everything about my system in great detail and what my options were for a new furnace (unlike the other company that had come earlier that day). He listened to my requests for energy efficiency and budget consciousness and came up with the best recommendation to meet my needs. Additionally they were able to do the installation 3 business days later. The installation went very smoothly. (except that the installers showed up 2 hours earlier than the time I had specified I would be home, but luckily that worked out). The installers were professional, friendly - and efficient: they were done much earlier than planned! Everything went well and I now have a warm cozy home to enjoy. I am so pleased with the service I received from Steve & Exelair and would highly recommend them to anyone needing HVAC service.
Description of Work: Replaced 28 yr. old furnace.

I called Excel Air and they were so friendly on the phone and sent a Technician out to my house within 2 hours! The technician was very knowledgable and professional and gave me a great price on a quieter Lennox furnace. They had the furnace installed the very next day. I love my new furnace, it is so quiet! I was also impressed by the office staff getting out my paperwork so soon (permit, rebates, warranty copy) - they had it all organized and easy for me to process. I will definitely recommend Excel Air to people and I plan on using them for my regular maintenances...
Description of Work: I was unhappy about the loud noise that my furnace was making so they came out to look at it.
