They called me with a reminder before the day. On site they found that I had a very minor issue (tripped breaker) and did not charge anything for the call. They also told me that I did not need a PM on the equipment which I was prepared to pay for. I will definitely call them again, for regular maintenance and repairs.
Description of Work: I needed A/C repair. I called 3 companies from the List, all with high ratings. A & H was the only one to call me and schedule an appt.

It is nice to see that there are still companies out there, that care about the customer. We were very cold and we needed to get our heating unit on, but couldn't do so. We called A & H and they made a special trip out to our house immediately, to get it working again. It turns out it was an on/off switch, that we didn't know about and as soon as they turned it on, everything was back to normal. We are very happy with both the professionalism, as well as friendly response of the man who came.
Description of Work: They checked our heating unit to find out why it wasn't working at all. They found that the on/off switch, was off and when they turned it back on, everything worked perfectly. There was no service agreement.

They left us with an estimate and followed up with a telephone call, a few days later, to see if we will be using there services. We decided not to go with them, because so far they had given us the highest estimate of everyone else that came out to our house.
Description of Work: A & H came out to my house to give us an estimate, on removing and replacing my two furnaces, that are about 80000 BTU's all together. They walked around my house and checked the number of registers I had and they also checked to see what air duct work I may have possibly needed.

Arrived within the two hour window given at the time the appointment was made. The repairman was friendly and professional. He explained what he was doing each step of the way. The problem was diagnosed and repaired in timely manner. At my request he even gave me suggestions concerning the securing of the furnace filter, a problem since the furnace was installed when the unit was originally built. I was very satisfied with the work and will use them again should the need arise.
Description of Work: First determined that circuit breaker, furnace, filter, etc. were operational and not cause of A/C not working. Next checked rooftop A/C unit. (Access to roof is via third floor hatch.) Diagnosed and replaced burned out capacitor and burned wire on rooftop A/C unit. I witnessed entire operation and was shown the bad parts. Also checked for freon, which was adequate. Tested A/C; cool air was being circulated in house.

There were two people doing the work. It took them only one day. They did call me 2 weeks later to make sure it was running good. I thought that was nice. I was very happy with the unit they gave me and the price involved.
Description of Work: I had them install a new central heating and air conditioning unit in my 1800 square foot home, which did involve removing the existing unit.

Recommended replacing my smaller ducts for 6 inch ducts. Installed a new furnace and A/C unit. Hauled away the old furnace and arranged the city inspection. Told me it would last four days and they were right. No surprises with installation or inspection. What pleased me most was the city inspector who admitted, "I can tell that this is good work." I would use them again without reservation.

Received five bids for the job. A&H bid was not the lowest, about $500 above the lowest. The owner, Dale Phelps, estimated the job and provided a couple of very helpful suggestions on how to improve the heat and cooling flow in the house which were an addition of an air return and replacement of a grill on an existing air return. Addi tonally, he was the only contractor that suggested providing an outside air supply to the furnace to avoid the wood dust in the garage since I'm a woodworker. I think is code but no other contractor suggested it. We added a air filter to the job when we signed the contract, thus increasing final price. The work was done in the estimated time and on schedule. The installers were great, very neat, and careful about our property. We took advantage of A&H offer not to pay until the job passes inspection. The installation passed inspection first time - I got the impression that the inspector was impressed with the quality of the work.

I really appreciated Dale's no-nonsense approach during the bid process. He didn't try to upsell me something I didn't need, like the guy who tried to charge me $2,000 more to put a furnace in the attic "because from the garage I wouldn't get good air flow." Yeah right. Dale was very informative in his analysis of my needs. The guys that installed the furnace and air conditioners were great! Very, very professional and quite skilled in creating solutions for routing pipes and placement of the units themselves, which was sometimes tricky due to my home design. These guys are very hard working and extremely efficient. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a no-nonsense, highly professional installation of heating and AC. The job passed inspection the first time. No surprise to me as the workmanship and adherence to code was outstanding.
Description of Work: The A&H team put in one new furnace and two new central air conditioning systems (I have a two-furnace home). They also cleaned my air ducts.

The work went very well. He answered the request for a quote promptly. The air filtering system that we had originally ordered would not physically fit, so the higher-end filtering system was added in its place at no additional cost. The work was quoted to be completed in 2 days, but required 2 additional hours on a third day. The work was performed well, so this was not a problem. Dave quoted for the job and also performed some of the work, along with supervising periodically during the performance of the work.
Description of Work: They removed old heater and installed a new Trane heater. They removed the old, leaky water heater and replaced it with a new one. Removed the old platform, on which both the heater and water heater were placed since it suffered water damage and was inadequate to hold the new heater and water heater. A new Trane air filtering system was added. A new A/C was installed, so a new line had to be installed in the breaker box, along with a condensation outlet that had to be drilled through the garage wall and through a brick fascade. After the work was completed, a walk through of how to operate the systems was demonstrated and how to maintain them. All systems operated well.

Went very well. Our late-afternoon call to the message service was returned the next morning, and the estimate was that same day. He located the parts, and returned the very next day, and Fixed it all quickly and on estimate. He was very courteous, and did a fine job of answering my questions and showing me the problem areas. I would definitely call them again.
Description of Work: Replaced motor, some wiring & the fan blade in the outdoor condenser unit of A/C. The burned-out motor (a previous repair, a different company) had not been quite the right part, and the wiring had been jury-rigged to make it fit, dragging some wires off in sharp angles and exposing wires to weather, causing corrosion and arcing. Also, the fan blade was damaged and rusted to the shaft. The A & H repairman put in a correct Carrier motor and parts, and replaced corroded and burnt wiring. He put the wiring back into it's proper channel & created a new weather covering for the wires. (Old cover had been discarded by the previous repair-guy when putting in the wrong motor.)

The estimate process and installation went exceptionally well from start to finish. Dale Phelps provided very helpful advice on the system required for our two-story home and supplied all of the information necessary to make an informed decision. His bid was the lowest of three but it also defined the job most completely. The promised schedule was met and the main job was completed in one long day in bad weather. The installation was done in an exceptionally competent and professional way by two courteous technicians who answered all of my questions and satisfied all of my requests. They carefully protected the floors over which equipment had to be moved and they performed a very carefully thought out and neat installation inside, under and outside the house. Cleanup was complete and thorough. On a second day, a wireless thermostat and all of the additional electrical breakers were installed. The system worked without difficulty. I would be pleased to recommend A&H to anyone.
Description of Work: A&H added a whole-house air conditioning system to our existing heating system.

We called three people off the list. Dale was one of them. He came out and gave us an estimate within a couple of days and it was very convenient. He provided a written estimate on the spot which was also great because we knew the cost right away and didn't have to drag things out. He was the only contractor who included obtaining a permit in his bid and his bid was the least expensive. He gave us a brochure on the unit as well. We scheduled the job and his staff was there on time. The city did not sign off on the permit right away and wanted a few more things done. Dale's staff came back right away, made the repairs and the city signed off on the permit.
Description of Work: Dale and his staff installed a central air conditioning unit in our house. We already had central heat.

The first visit did not find the issue, and the contractor did something unrelated, and then he said "fixed". Then the furnace stopped working totally after half a day. On the 2nd visit, he replaced a board, typical replace & try way to fix -- root case was not found, so don't know if it has really been fixed or not, thought it works now. During the coldest days in bay area, the furnace stopped working after the contractor's visit, that is a bad experience. Besides, I'm still worrying more about the quality of the repair, will it stop working suddenly?
Description of Work: My furnace sometimes could not start, but if it started by power on/off it worked normally. The contractor came to my home twice and he finally got it work somehow by replacing a part. To me, the root cause of the problem was not identified, I still worry about how long the furnace will work normally.

From start to finish I am very pleased with how this went. I felt like Dale was interested in giving us the system that was the best fit for our needs and lifestyle. Instead of attempting to up-sell us at every turn he patiently explained to us why the system that he was recommending was the best combination of price and performance for our needs. When it came time to perform the work the crew showed up on time, did quality work, finished ahead of schedule and made sure that everything had been cleaned up before they left. They took the time to explain how to use all of the components that had been installed and made sure that we knew how to take advantage of all of the capabilities of our new system. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone that has a need for HVAC and wants to deal with a company that they feel like they can trust.
Description of Work: Our house was built in 1995 and the original furnace and A/C were undersized for our square footage. When our furnace ignitor failed this year we decided that it was time to replace our equipment and upgrade to units that were a better fit for our home. A & H replaced our original equipment furnace and A/C with a matched Trane system that also included an Aprilaire 2400 whole house air cleaner and a new digital thermostat. We also had them clean and inspect all of the duct work.

This company has a very honest approach, compared to two other companies I contacted. Given the same information, model number and serial number, they determined the heat exchanger was under warranty, my only cost would be labor. The original quote was for four hours. In the end they were prompt, arrived on time. Performed the work. Did it all with only two hours of labor. In the end, it did not cost $3000+ for a new furnace like the first company contacted. It did not cost the $800+ for parts and labor like the second company I contacted. All told, $160 labor.

Discovered that much of the heating ducting in my attic was not connected. Therefore I was heating the attic instead of the house. A&H came out and gave me two options; replace it all for $3500 or fix it on a time and material basis. Obviously selected option two. Manuel and Eddie showed up as scheduled, were extremely neat and courteous and fast. Would recommend them.

Their price was pretty good, and Dale suggested I not upgrade to more efficient units (not cost effective in this climate). One of the installers was pretty grumpy but proficient (He eventually warmed). The work quality appears pretty good. Like most things, I'll know better in a year. It turned out to be my responsibility to get city permit inspection. The first inspection raised a couple of issues which Dale quickly fixed. Then I got city approval.
Description of Work: My house has 2 separate ''central'' heater/ac systems. A & H replaced both heaters and ACs. The total equipment was 2 heaters, 2 ACs, 2 thermostats, and 2 pleated air filters.
