It didn’t go so well, it broke down shortly afterwards. They came back to fix it but they tried to upsell me something else and I got a second opinion and it was fixed without buying a new furnace. I wasn’t particularly happy with them. They were prompt.
Description of Work: I used George H. Burns, Inc. for furnace repair.

They are very punctual and they've done very good work. When we first move to the area, we were having difficulty with the lack of cooling in the upstairs area and they had a heating contractor that actually came out and did an evaluation and we added an extra return to the upstairs and it had helped tremendously.
Description of Work: I use George H. Burns to service my heating and A/C. I have a 5 year service plan with them.

The installation went very well. The workers arrived on time. The old equipment was removed and the new equipment was installed. The workmen were very professional. There was a minor issue with the new thermostat and the heat pump. The necessary specialists were contacted and were sent to my home to resolved the problem. When the installation was complete, the workmen made sure that everything was cleaned up, and anything that was moved to give them room to work was moved back in place. They also replaced several electrical outlets and switches.
Description of Work: Replaced old oil heater and air conditioner with new hybrid system (heat pump and oil furnace). A new oil tank was also installed. Several electrical switches and outlets were replaced.

The experience with George H. Burns Inc went very well. I called them up, set up an appointment, the guy was here when he said he was going to be here. He was in, performed the service and explained to me the service that he was performing. He was very knowledgeable about his products and gave me some pointers for future service recommendations. They were very professional and very flexible. They carry an excellent product and back it up with excellent service.
Description of Work: George H. Burns Inc serviced my Heater and Air Conditioning and gave them a tune up.

They gave my 89 yr old husband a $150 bill for their services and a "quote" for a new gas heater. The next think we knew, a truck was on it's way with the new heater the next morning! They were very nasty when I cancelled the order!
Description of Work: Had them check the automatic gas valve, but the part could not be replaced. They gave my husband a "quote" for a new gas heater.

Response from George H Burns Inc
In response to this customer’s comment, I would like to state that the facts are incorrect. On March 19, 2012, we received a phone call that the utility company has turned the gas off to this heating system due to a bad gas valve. Our office received a phone call from the customer stating they needed a gas valve replaced. We had no information on the system at the time to just go out and put a gas valve on. Turns out that the repairs could have cost up to $1000. Therefore, we recommended the replacement of this system. The system was very old, manufactured in 1994, should be replaced. We provided the customer with a price to replace the system vs. the repair cost. At that time the customers husband agreed to begin the new installation the following day. We were surprised to see, the morning of the install that the customer had called at 8pm to cancel. We had already set everything up and when we called to confirm that morning, we were told that the member never authorized this job. She had informed our office manager that husband does not make the decisions, even though he had agreed to this installation. Also, in response the $150 bill that was paid, there are no records indicating this statement. The only invoice that was issued to this customer was the work order for the diagnosis, in the amount of $104.50 (which is our minimum charge). This bill was paid in a timely manner, which we do appreciate.

They were prompt. They didn't try to sell me what I don't need. The price was fair. They were very professional. The staff was good. It took a while to diagnose it correctly, but they kept on coming back until it was fixed.
Description of Work: George H Burns Inc fixed the furnace for me last month.

Norm was a wonderful and experienced representative for George H. Burns, Inc. He explained all of the options, told me what I didn't need to get because of how the other items (water heater, air pump, etc.) looked. He was trying to save me money rather than sell more product. It is what got him the job over two other companies. The girls at the office, especially Candy, were extremely helpful. All of the workers were professional and friendly. Overall, it was an extremely pleasant and painless experience.
Description of Work: Furnish and installation of propane gas furnace and electronic air cleaner.
