Flushed all lines, test run. Installation completed within 3 days of first call. First service on 9/3/2014 determined problem. New work completed on 9/5/2014. Callback on 9/10/2014 to correct plenum leaks, and re-mount existing humidifier to level pan (done at no charge).

Our 15 year old Trane heat pump wasn?t working properly anymore I called Summit Heating and A/C to come out and check it out. It was shot and wasn?t economically feasible to repair the old unit. They gave me an honest cost to replace it. I contacted some competitive companies that were much higher in price, so I went with Summit. The technicians arrived as scheduled for 9 Am and started promptly. The laid down several drop cloths to protect my tile flooring and carpeted areas. They worked on the replacement for six hours and the unit runs great. The replacement unit is a Bryant pump unit outside and a Carrier air handler in the attic. It comes with a 10 year parts warranty and a 1 year labor warranty. A 5 year and 10 year labor warranty is available at a nominal fee. The work was done professionally and quietly. The techs were very professional and courteous. I was overall, very pleased with the whole experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone one else needing this type of work done. Another note, the Bryant and Carrier systems are made here in the USA and other units are not; you may want to check this before committing to other brands.

A pleasure to do business with. I initially contacted Summit after several failed attempts from other companies to fix our home hvac system. Our home like many in the area provided alot of challenges from the start due to shoddy builder work. Dwayne and Shawn took their time to thoroughly assess my particular problems and come up with the proper resolutions instead of just getting the quick fix and out the door. They never once made me feel like they were in a rush and took alot of time to answer any questions and actually help me understand exactly what we could do to maximize the performance in my home. I found them to be very upfront and honest from start to finish, their price was more than fair, and I was amazed at how responsive and polite their office was during the process. When my new system was installed, their guys were on time, polite, and took their time and did a great job. At one point afterward I had some questions and Dwayne and Shawn were at my home in 15 minutes to help me, and I have every confidence if I run into any problems or have any questions in the future they will be there to help. My energy bills are down, the system is running fantastic, and for the first time in 6 years the home is being heated and cooled properly, something I wasn't sure would ever happen after so many failed attempts by others in the past. I normally don't take the time to write online reviews but in this case I felt the service was worthy of acknowledging.

We moved into our house only to find out that the gas furnace would shut off after running for an hour. We were told by an HVAC technician sent by the home warranty insurance company that we would have to install a completely new furnace at a cost of over $6000. I was lucky to contact Summit - a very experienced HVAC guy was sent the same afternoon that I called. He said that the heat exchanger would be covered by the lifetime factory warranty and that he could replace the "guts" of the furnace for $1700. Work was completed as soon as the parts came in, and now we have essentially a new furnace. I couldn't be more satisfied with an HVAC contractor, and I would definitely hire them for all future work.
Description of Work: Summit replaced the heat exchanger and practically all of the working parts of our gas furnace.

They came because we have a warranty with the residential MD. Summit came and did the work before talking to me, and then charged me money. He then talked to the people at the home warranty, and so did I, and then he dropped the charges, but then I noticed that he has written on the invoice, that I refused to pay and that is why it was dropped.

Response from Summit Heating and Air Conditioning LLC
I am sorry you feel that way about the service you received. We were dispatched by your home warranty company on a Saturday and promptly responded. The technician began diagnosing the problem and found a dirty filter and nozzle which he changed in order to get to a proper diagnosis. Once that was done the heat began working again and the technician continued cleaning the unit out and then did another thorough evaluation determining that the cleaning was all the was needed; there was no mechanical failure. Upon calling the claim into the warranty company and describing the process, the warranty company determined that the failure was due to a lack of maintenance on the system and denied the claim (covering only the dispatch/diagnosis less customer deductible) stating that failures of this nature are not covered under the homeowner's contract. The technician advised you of the conversation with the warranty company and was only able to collect what you felt as though was fair. After leaving the home we contacted the home warranty company and advised them of the situation to which they covered the remaining customer balance. The claim was not dropped but instead paid because we followed the procedures outlined in our contract with the home warranty company and were due for our services. We also followed up with someone in the home a few days later who stated that they were happy with the service they received but not the home warranty company. I'm sorry you now feel as though you had a negative experience but I am glad that we were able to get your heater working again never the less. Thank you for your feedback. We will take the information and try to utilize it to try to prevent similar situations in the future.

Contacted the provider for routine maintenance on gas furnace. Provider immediately identified there was a cracked heat exchanger and recommended that the heater not be used due to risk of carbon monoxide. Provider gave price quote to replace furnace or replace the heat exchanger which was still under warranty. Decided to replace heat exchanger since it was 20 - 25% of the cost of a new furnace. Provider is very professional and does quality work. Have used them in the past for other minor HVAC issues.

The gentleman was prompt and to the point with the problem. He gave the resolution and price. Great service by great people. Prompt and reliable service in our opinion. The service tech didn't seem to try and sell us something we didn't want. His focus was only on fixing our issue and preventing breakdowns in the future, which we prefer.

I was lucky to find Summit in Townsend, DE through NATE (North American Technician Excellence, www.natex.org) when the compressor our heat pump died suddenly less than 6 years after it was installed at the time the house was built by the previous owners. I contacted at least a half dozen contractors online on Saturday and Summit was one of three to respond at all over the weekend. Dwayne actually called on Sunday. After a lengthy discussion of the options for repair or replacement on the phone, I could tell the Dwayne really knew his business ( I have a degree in Engineering Technology and took a course in HVAC design). Dwayne came to our house on Monday and made a thorough assessment of the existing equipment. He treated my wife with respect, and of the 5 contractors that came to bid, he provided by the most complete and comprehensive quote. I decided to go with Summit before most of the bids were in. Summit has been exceptional in every way. They are clearly customer focused and doing the right thing in every aspect of their business. I've been extremely impressed with their technical knowledge and obvious attention to detail and quality of customer service. Everyone at Summit has been extremely responsive and helpful. They jumped through hoops to help us get an Energize Delaware Loan so we could afford to replace the system. (We've been hit hard economically the past three years and are down to fumes). As it turned out we ended up replacing both the dead heat pump and furnace to qualify for the Energize Delaware Loan and Rebate. That turned a nasty negative cash flow hit, $4000 out of pocket cost into a $90/mo low interest loan payment with $4000 cash rebate. Summit had to cover their upfront costs until the loan company released the funds after the work was done. It took a lot longer than expected for them to get paid and we're still "friends". Summit was competitive on price and clearly every effort was made to provide the highest quality solution at the lowest possible cost to us while still being able to make enough to sustain their business. I was the one doing the up-selling on the project. I learned years ago that quality of work and quality of service is paramount when it comes to hiring any contractor. I did a huge amount of research online and asked a lot of questions while deciding what to do and who to go with when it came to this project. One of the most important things I learned is the quality of the installation is the most important part of any HVAC installation. It doesn't matter how good the equipment is if the installation is shoddy. The installation went smoothly. The workmanship excellent. Only one minor issue that was quickly resolved. Customer service has been A+++ Needless to say, I carry their business cards and sing their praises to anyone needing an HVAC contractor.
Description of Work: Complete replacement of dead 10 SEER "builder grade" heat pump and gas furnace with high efficiency central air conditioner and gas furnace. It started with just a replacing a dead AC compressor, but I quickly determined that a new compressor would be a bad investment. After pricing out buying one online and having it installed (HVAC refrigerant lines are about the only thing I can't do myself when it comes to home repair) the cost was halfway to replacing the entire unit with higher efficiency unit. There was a great likelihood that there were other hidden problems related to the failure. Once I fully educated myself on all the options, completely replacing the HVAC system with a new, high efficiency system that qualified for all available energy efficiency incentives was a no brainer. In the end, the total purchase cost of the new system after rebates was a wash with just replacing the heat pump with a much better cash flow result. It's not often you can spend more to save more and have lower up front expense, but this was the exception.
