Will never use this company again. They did not contact me for about 5 weeks after I paid the fee to Angie's list. I finally called them, and they came the next week. They sent an addtional bill to us for another $90 saying it was more because we had two furnances. They did not tell us that when they came to service our furnaces. Overall, they were terrible and unresponsive!!
Description of Work: They were supposed to clean our furnances and air conditioners and do a safety check. They did not clean out the accumulated dirt and dust as promised. They said they did a quick safety check...

Response from Valley Heating, Cooling, Electrical and Solar
It was good talking to you on the phone about your experience. Again, I am very sorry about the mix up. The Big Deal should have clearly stated that it was per system, and it did not, so I was happy to credit the second unit due to that mistake. Also, I am glad that we cleared up that you purchased a tune up / inspection and not a duct cleaning. We hope that we can work with you again in the future. Your satisfaction is very important to our entire team, and we want to be your heating and cooling company! I will definitely discount your next service as well due to the mishap. Please give me a call if you have any questions, or more feedback. Sincerely, Cindy Faulkner President 408-294-6290

I don't have any "don'ts" in using this company. It was a great experience from start to finish.
Description of Work: The technician was polite, thorough and gave me really good advice re. my dryer duct. He recognized that the duct was weak and had been installed previously with a very sharp angle exiting the dryer. He gave me a list of needed supplies I could purchase from a local hardware store and showed me how to fix the problem.

They not only reloaded the freon, but also cleaned the exterior unit and replaced some shady connections done by the landscapers.
Description of Work: Landscapers had moved A/C unit during construction, it was no longer working. Valley heating and cooling came out to repair. It took two separate visits but both technicians were really great.

It was quick and the person was relatively professional. He went through every duct with a vacuum then tested the system once he was finished.
Description of Work: We wanted to have our air duct and vents cleaned because we weren't sure if the dust was causing asthmatic problems for our son. This is something that you can't really measure the before and after results because there's nothing physical to see or touch. We just hope that it did make a difference and that the merchant performed what he was asked to.

The serviceman came on time and did a goodjob on the furnace tuneup. He found some water collected under the furnace. Our main air filter was not clean ( during the last duct cleaning by Valley Heating , they forgot to do that ) and he cleaned and also gave us a new disposable filter.

I contacted Valley Heating and Cooling for an estimate to replace my furnace. In scheduling the appointment via email, we decided it would be a good idea to also have my current furnce and ducts inspected. The gentleman that came to the house performed the inspection, but was not aware that I wanted (nor was the correct person to provide) an estimate. He was very thorough in his inspection and was more than helpful in trying to help me with a fireplace insert that was no longer working. To be clear, I am pleased with the service I did receive, I just didn't receive all of the services I had anticipated. I am disappointed that the scheduler didn't quite put all the pieces together for me. I had a rare day off, and wanted to make the best use of m time.

We used a Big Deal coupon for this work. Originally, there was a mix-up in scheduling the 2hr service call. The operator at the company said the electrician would work between 8 and 10am. I asked if that meant he would arrive at 8am, and I was told that he might be a few minutes late depending on traffic. On the day of the scheduled visit when he had not arrived by 8:30am, I called back and was now told it was actually the arrival time that was between 8am and 10am. This mix-up caused me some inconvenience, but the person I talked to was very apologetic, and gladly re-scheduled the call for a later date. For the re-scheduled call the electrician Sal actually arrived a little early. (He called first to make sure this was ok.) Sal was courteous and professional. We were impressed with how quickly and efficiently he worked, and would definitely seek him out for any future electrical work. The original scheduling mix-up was obviously not Sal's fault.
Description of Work: Fix outlet/breaker that often tripped breaker. Install outdoor outlet. Check wiring on wall switches.

The service went well overall. They initially replaced an igniter, which didn’t correct the problem. They then replaced the circuit board; they made note to me that the ignitor they originally replaced also came with a circuit board, so they didn’t charge me for a second igniter. They could’ve very easily charged me for both, so I really appreciated their honesty.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for an air conditioning and furnace system tune-up, which they did. Most recently, they repaired a problem with the furnace.

Great service, did everything that I asked. Left my home clean and everything works perfectly.
Description of Work: Repair of an outlet which was broken, changed out a 2 outlet for 4 outlet. There was also a glitch from a previous job done 4 months ago which they repaired at no cost. Sal is very professional and knows what he is doing. I was very impressed by this company and will use them again!

He was clear, professional and completed what he set out to do. He did go over a few minutes over the 2 hours, but he also added an extra outlet (3 total) besides what we had agreed upon. I can't vouch for the other electricians at VHC&E, but after a few bad experiences with electricians, Sal was a much nicer experience.
Description of Work: I would like to start by saying this is my first review ever. This was a Angie's List Big Deal where I paid $119 for 2 hours of electrical service. Sal (from VHC&E) came in a bit early and talk to me about the job before starting the clock. We decided that adding some grounded outlets in our office would be about right for 2 hours. Sal quickly found a way to decrease the amount of work and material to complete the job.

We previously had this type of service performed by the company that installed the furnaces for us. The service technician performed a much more comprehensive maintenance on our system, spending far more time making sure the system was working properly. We were very happy with the service and are consideirng signing up for an annual maintenance contract with the company.

Rich was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He was by far the best AC repairman I have worked with. Recognizing that I will likely need to replace my unit soon, I will probably use Valley Heating and Cooling to do the job.
Description of Work: Rich did a full inspection and tune-up on air-conditioning unit. He identified several problems that he resolved on the spot and several which needed more work. He gave me a full explanation of the problems that still need to be resolved - one of which is fixing a leak for the AC unit - and several options on how to address these.

The extensive exterior lighting in our new house puzzled us. Through an offer on Angies List we had a 2 hour lighting tune up. Lots of testing of the lines and education filled the time. He found a few simple problems (shorts, deteriorated wire) and several light bulbs were burned out (sounds like a simple problem but they are expensive bulbs and was the problem the bulb, the fixture or the wiring). We were thrilled at the efficiency. My husband, an engineer, said he could have done it but it would have been a Saturday project with a few trips to the hardware store. Nice to put a check mark in the done column on this problem. Great to have a name in our address book for future concerns.

To our delight, Valley Heating showed up on time the first day with a crew of at least 6 people, and finished the entire job in 1 day! The lead worker spent hours constructing a large box in the garage that wasn't on the original plan just so that the sound of the furnace wouldn't carry through the house as it used to. The result was astounding- we used to have to raise our voices to be heard when the furnace was running, but now we can barely hear it. We are also very pleased that the furnace is getting the house to the proper temperature much faster since the duct work is in proper order. While we still had to do some major dusting, they cleaned up immaculately after themselves. Overall, they were extraordinarily professional and exceeded our expectations by a long shot.See above
Description of Work: We originally had Valley Heating come to do an estimate because they were highly recommended by a friend. They were the lowest of 2 estimates (by about $2500), so we hired them to replace all the old, deteriorated heating ducts beneath our house. They also had to replace and add heating vents and do some very complicated construction to enlarge the air intake vent which had been undersized when the house was built in the 1950's. We were told (by both companies) that the work would take 3-5 days.

This is the second time we have used Valley Heating, Colling, and Electrical, and came back to them because our experience with them was so positive the first time. I purchased an Angie's List coupon for $100 of work for $50. There was a bit of a time gap between when we caslled for service and when the appointment was scheduled, but it was not overly excessive, and was most likely due to the popularity of their technicians (they stay busy!). On the day of the service, the tech called approximately 30 minutes before the appointment time (as they said he would) and said he'd be there in 20-30 minutes; however, he did not show until over an hour later (although, it was still within the two-hour time frame the company gave me initially). The tech was friendly and amiable, quickly addressed each issue in turn, and provided positive tips for keeping similar situations from occuring the in the future. He also did a great job installing a new light fixture I had bought from Lowe's for the dining room, even making several post-installation measurements to ensure the fixture was perfect aligned and straight. All wor was completed for the cost of my coupon, at no additional cost to me. Very happy overall, and will continue to consider VHCE for any work in which they have expertise.

I have used this company in my other home and trust their ability. The meeting was everything I wanted.
Description of Work: I got the special for inspecting the Air conditioning, but added $20 to have him check out the furnace. I am a new owner and wanted to make sure I was in good shape. He identified some areas of repair, where I had some asbestos, and that my ducts need cleaning. In addition he pointed out the probability of my furnace reaching the end of its life cycle soon. I appreciated his help and attention to detail and helpful instruction.
