Zodiac has always been excellent with customer service, installation, the quality of work and their professionalism. Everyone one from the office staff, to the installers, to the owners are very personable and professional. This work was done on time, for a very fair price. I did get competitive bids. I plan to use Zodiac for all my Heating & A/C service.
Description of Work: I have used Zodiac Heating and Air Conditioning for several projects over the years. The last project they installed a forced air heating system in a tri-plex that we own. Spring 2016.

Description of Work: I have used Zodiac Heating & Air Conditioning for many years for all my HVAC needs, from new furnaces and air conditioners to repairs and general servicing. I recently used them in December of 2015 to install a new forced air furnace in a tri-plex unit we own. Their work is always excellent and the prices very fair. Also, the office is very professional and prompt when you call for an appointment or have a question. And, the crew in the field are very professional, prompt and clean up after the work. Also, the owners, brothers Ed and Vic are always checking on the job and the quality of the work. I highly recommend them.

Description of Work: Zodiac installed a new HVAC system on an addition we built in 1992 (so this evaluation is dated.) From the first day, the system was under-sized for the addition - rooms never cooled adequately. They did try adding a fan booster and ultimately replaced the outdoor condenser unit with a larger-capacity unit, but what really had to be replaced was the cooling coil in the indoor evaporator unit, and they refused to do that. They also made an inaccurate (in my opinion) statement that the cooling we could expect was only 20 degrees from the outdoor temperature (I confirmed with other companies that we could expect a 20-degree drop from the INDOOR temperature). We ultimately had to supplement the HVAC unit with some window air conditioners and block off one of the vents to a utility area in order to get sufficient cooling. Their installation work was, however, very neat and professional - just the wrong equipment. It was, in 1992 a very small company, so getting a response from them was sometimes a challenge.

Description of Work: A/C wasn't cold. They came out fairly quickly. Identified the problem as a leak in the Freon line. Suggested I try a product that could put in and it might close up the hole if it was small. I was pretty desperate so I went along with it. As it turns out, it got me through the summer until I could find someone to actually fix the problem rather than putting a bandaid on it. To have A/C when it was so hot was worth the price at the time.

Description of Work: They installed ductless air conditioning units in both houses of our small duplex in December 2011. Did a terrific job and we are still using them for checkups and occasional small adjustments. The company is very responsive and professional, and we would definitely use them for future jobs of this kind and recommend them warmly to our friends and family.

How did it go.... Well it's still going. Still not fixed.
Description of Work: They installed an AC unit that leaked and messed up my ceiling. It was fixed several weeks later. The damage is done to my ceiling I have lost pay trying to get them to come out and fix it from leaving work during the week. They accommodated me by saying they would send someone out during the weekend. Guess what, they guy did not show up today. What a joke. How can you rely on a company that destroys your home and does not adhere to their own timelines for fixing their mistakes. And yes, it was their mistake, when they fixed the leak the installer said they didn't properly seal a tube.

The A/C unit never properly cooled the rooms in the addition. Addition was properly insulated, but they blamed 2 French doors facing the West as the reason why the rooms couldn't be cooled properly. They did try several things - they replaced the outside condenser with a larger one (3 ton instead of 2.5), added a duct run to the largest room and even tried a fan booster. They even capped off a vent to my workshop (which I really wanted). That didn't work either, Their final statement was "You can only expect to reduce the temperature to about 20 degrees below the current OUTSIDE temperature", so when it was 100 degrees outside, I should expect only to be able to cool the rooms to 80 degrees. I found out subsequently that was incorrect. The statement should have been "You can only expect to reduce the temperature to about 20 degrees below the current INSIDE temperature", so if the room is 88, I should be able to cool it to 76 easily. However, I could never cool the rooms to below 88 degrees. | |I worked around the problem by installing a standard 11000BTU window air conditioner in the large room (625 sq. ft.). By itself, the window A/C easily cooled the large room by itself without the central A/C on. | |A different A/C contractor a few years later inspected the inside A/C evaporator unit and said that the cooling coil was obviously too small. Even though they increased the outside condenser unit's capacity, the interior coil (and associated air circulation fan) was the problem. However, that unit is installed in the attic and so the labor involved in replacing it with a larger one was probably more than Zodiac wanted to give me, so they made up the excuse. | |Zodiac is a small company, but their workmanship is good. Just get a guarantee that if their work doesn't adequately cool and/or heat, they will replace WHATEVER equipment and/or ducting necessary to get it to work. |
Description of Work: Zodiac installed a new A/C unit on a 1300 sq. foot addition for us quite awhile ago (approx. 1995).

There was a small problem and they exaggerated it. The high voltage capacitor was damaged and it needed to be replaced and they said they had to check everything as well. They were late to respond with the quote and I wasn’t happy with their prices. I ended up calling a different company and found that they were less than half the price. I was surprised that their quote was so expensive. My intentions are not at all to damage the companies reputation, but to let them be aware of the this issue.
Description of Work: I was using their services for repairs on my unit that was less than 10 years old. I was satisfied with their service for several years. I last had them come out to diagnose repair.

[Member Name Removed] I appreciate the coments you have stated in your review. As in all things all prices vary and just repairing the problem is a temporary fix which in our opinion does no favors for our customers. We strive to offer the best qaulity repairs and installation and that comes at a cost for us and to the customer.

Do choose Zodiac for installing your new HVAC. They are professionals.
Description of Work: Zodiac Heating & Air Conditioning wrote up several options for HVAC systems that could replace my old unit. Vic clearly described each option and answered all my questions to help me make the best choice for my home as well as my finances. I chose the 14 SEER Carrier unit to be installed on my roof. It came with a 10 year warranty on parts and a 1 year warranty on labor. The company also obtained city permits for the installation. All the old duct work from the attic was removed and disposed. The old unit was lifted by a crane and taken away. NewR-8 duct work was installed in the attic and attached to the old vent outlets. New vent covers were installed over each vent. The main air vent was enlarged and received a new cover and filter (24X30X1). A new Venstar thermostat was installed in the hallway. The crane set the new unit on my roof and the work crew attached the ducts, gas, and electricity to insure it worked properly. When I noticed noise from the vent in the master bedroom, Zodiac promptly sent someone out to solve the problem The HVAC has been operational for about a month. The weather in my house is always a perfect temperature. Thanks to Vic and Ed and all their support crew.

We bought our house two years ago and needed to remove the existing furnace that looked like it was the original. An acquaintance recommended Zodiac to us so we called them and we thought that their prices were competitive. They had a subcontractor of their choice come out and remove the old duct work that had asbestos, installed new furnace and AC. They put new registers and vents as well. In the process of installing the new air ducts they punctured a hole in our ceiling which at the time, had the cottage cheese ceiling. The guys didn't apologize and it looked like nothing would have been done had it not been for my husband calling the owner. We were extremely disappointed with their solution. One of the guys went out to a hardware store and sprayed on something to make it look like cottage cheese ceiling to match the existing ceiling and then smeared it to try to make it blend in. It didn't and it looked awful. Luckily their services included a 1 yr warranty on their work because during the winter time when it started raining, our roof was leaking. We had buckets in our living room. Our roof was brand new when we bought the house and the home inspector at the time gave it two thumbs up. My husband went up into the attic and found that the leak was where they had placed the AC. The Zodiac installers came out and fixed the problem. Overall their craftsmanship was just shoddy. I would not recommend them to anyone.

They did not do a good job at all. They installed the heater improperly, and it took them six months to remedy the situation. They were having troubles getting the heater to work. They would be out for five hours at a time. I felt like the people they sent out to fix it didn't know what they were doing. I have yet to discover if the air conditioning works how it's supposed to.

I am not satisfied with the job that they did unfortunately. Great personality but terrible service. It was installed on March 21. When it was 112 degrees in July the central air was not working properly due to incorrect installation. It took them another week to come out, hopefully they remedied the situation. I sent all the warranties back and ask that they be pro rated from the time the equipment was actually working. They damaged some of my ceiling. It was a challenging situation.
