PREFERRED AIR SYSTEMS INC

I had an old oil burner and no central air conditioning. Knowing very well the mess it was going to be to retrofit a central air system I just could not resist the saving that were to be acquired by a geothermal unit. I did my investigation called four different companies for estimates. Out of four I narrowed it down to 2. Preferred Air and Bell Heating and air conditioning. As far as price goes after all the negotiations the two companies were only $100 apart. For a project that could end up costing upwards of $70k that was amazing . But it gave me satisfaction that the price I was getting perhaps not the bargain basement but nevertheless was fair. The key difference between the two companies was that I have a room above the garage with Bell heating they were going to put another system which would be a heat pump(which is not as efficient as geothermal) as a separate unit for that room. Where as preferred air was going to incorporate it within the geothermal system and put a separate zone. Between that and my visit to a current project that Preferred air was involved with tipped me toward Preferred Air for my geothermal system. The work started on schedule one glitch occurred I ran out of oil 2 days before the project was suppose to start. Now I had no heat or hot water for 2-3 weeks. But Preferred Air was very good as far as coming up with solutions and they did. They quickly installed 2 water heaters that were suppose to be part of the project and instructed me to get the electrician to connect them so I would have hot water. The solution was good except after they installed the two water tanks the next day. I went to call the electrician he text me back that he was in the bahamas. Well the day the electrician returned(he is a good friend of mine) he came and connected the hot water heaters and the weather started getting a little warmer so problem solved. As I write the work is still in progress I will continue to update as the work progresses From beginning to end Preferred Air was very professional. Sean who is their salesman/design engineer was very detail oriented. Vinnie who is the project manager and his co workers are all very polite very neat and very detailed in their tasks. They leave the work area as clean as can be. So far I am very happy with the project I will also try to come back to angies list and update my saving from this project. For those of you contemplating geothermal remember mine was a retrofit which is always more expensive if you are building a new house just go for geothermal you will not regret it.
