The worst part about dealing with them was they would never return our (several) phone calls questioning the service and amount charged. Custome service matters!

Response from Air-Ref Co
The cost includes the thermostat, a trained professional performing the installation and a one year labor warranty for the thermostat, which includes replacement of the thermostat, if necessary, which is not offered at a retail location such as Lowes. Again, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions, my name is Gerrie and I can be reached at 561.495.7060 x118. We strive for competence and honesty in all of our consumer relationships. Rest assured that we will continue this level of professionalism. Again, we always appreciate hearing from our valued customers. Please accept our sincerest apology for the trouble.

I have used Air Ref for many years to maintain my central air conditioning unit. Actually, Air Ref purchased the company, and all its assets from Russell B. Jennings, the company that did the original installation. Air Ref even operated under both names for sometime. I had always had a warranty agreement from the manufacturer for parts, including an additional portion of labor that I extended, and paid for $750.00, that included additional years. From the beginning, it had always been a struggle with either the office staff, technicians, or the owner, Chris Ryan of Air Ref. Additionally, during every maintenance appointment, it was always something...then the next day...the system would stop, or even leak. I was always reluctant to make an appointment for anything, including maintenance, knowing that days later the system would most likely fail?and it usually did, in the middle of the night, and with a service charge attached. Of course, who wouldn't pay anything for service call, on a 90 degree summer night in Florida?I get that?it was after hours, but they ALWAYS wanted to blame the system, rather than the fact they were there just there the day before...wow what a coincidence...and NEVER once did they even apologize, it happened many times. I really could have used any company for service, but they had been maintaining my unit from the beginning, they had worked on the system for years, and the two companies had a relationship, so I thought it would be safe to stick with them. I stopped using Air Ref because they flat out said during the last maintenance, they would no longer honor the labor part of my warranty, even though I have a contract till 2017. The owner said that "it was my problem now", and to contact the previous owner, even though they had not charged me in the past for any warranty work...for years! I believe Air Ref is having a tuff time dealing with those contracts, and assets they purchased from the previous company, they even went to court over it?guess they didn't do there homework?and all over $50.00. They have always been inconsistent with their work, have unfriendly technicians, and have an extremely unprofessional OWNER. Save yourself the headache, and find another company!!
Description of Work: Provide a yearly maintenance contract ( 2- 3x a year), as well as any services needed on the system.

I feel that Air-Ref let me down.They are more interested in selling me a new unit during difficult economic times, than trying to help me with a short term repair.
Description of Work: They had agreed to come and clean the coils. Two of their technicians on two previous repair trips said it was a labor intensive job , which I did not doubt. I was told up front that it would cost approximately 400.00. The technician said I could possibly do it myself and explained how. I called them on 8/8/13 because the unit was freezing up. The technician came. And said the coils needed to be cleaned. I agreed and set up a time for the work. Instead, their technician Mike did not want to do that job, but said I need a new air-conditioner. I bought my top of the line Carrier HVAC unit from the family that sold the company to Air-Ref( Russell B. Jennings). The unit never gave me a problem in the twelve years I have had it. Until this year! However, that is expected and I am still satisfied with my purchase. I think it can still be repaired. However, Mike the manager called and said they would not do this job( after saying they could) because. The coils would flake and come apart during the cleaning. That I would still have problems with the unit working properly thereafter. Only. If I signed a waiver would they do this job. He admitted there may be another company willing to do it, but his company will not.

Thank you for taking the time to communicate your dissatisfaction. Going over the notes in our system I see the first tech, Seth, who visited your home didn’t mention we do not clean coils over 10 years old. That was our unfortunate mistake and we are very sorry for that. Please give us the chance to make this right, I would like to speak to you to find the best solution and regain your confidence in our company. Once again please accept my apology for the confusion and inconvenience you’ve experienced. Please call me at your earliest convenience 561.495.7060 ask for Gina. Thank you for your time and I look forward to speaking with you.

Air-Ref salesperson was very courteous and professional. He was knowledgeable about the systems and put together a pricing sheet comparing the different SEER rated system and the rebates available for each. He was able to immediately schedule an installation date as they had the system in stock. The installation team and install manager arrived as scheduled and assessed the job at hand before starting. The installation when smoothly and the system was operating by the end of the day. A second team came a couple of days later to install additional return ducts. City inspection was arranged by Air-Ref and the installation manager was present during the inspection. The installation was approved on first inspection. The system has been operating flawlessly for two months.

Our sales rep. Mike Beemer spent 2 1/2 hours scoping out the work to be done. He looked at the outside unit, the inside unit, and all of the rooms to determine the returns as well as the vents that were already there. He listened to what we wanted and offered suggestions on how to attain and maintain the quality we were looking for. He was well prepared with his computer and printer and offered us several options to consider. These options were clearly defined on a well thought out format so that we were clearly able to see the difference of each unit discussed. Upon reviewing our options, we were able to call Mike to ask questions and he provided immediate responses to our inquiries. This professional service expedited our decision. Once we said yes, we'll go with your company, he did all of the set up work for our installation. We were provided with an exceptional installation team. They were courteous, clean and very informative. They made sure there were no questions unanswered about the new system and the new thermostat that went with the new unit. ( These new thermostats do everything but cook dinner)!! The second crew came out the next day to do the follow-up duct work and they too were very accommodating. All of the men were extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to be of service. Their workmanship was exemplary and I have to mention their sense of humor added enjoyment to this job well done.

The installers (2) arrived on time and were there practically all day. They explained everything they were going to do and got started. They were neat from beginning to end. When they were finished you would never know that work was being done all day. I was very pleased and would certainly recommend this company.
Description of Work: I had the salesman from Air-Ref come out to give me an estimate in January. He was on time, knowledgable, and helpful in my making a decision which unit I wanted. He took his time to explain the differences which I appreciated very much. I made my decision and planned to have the unit installed on February 18th.

My blower went out over night. I call Air Ref at 8 am and a service rep was at the house by 8:45. Air Ref calls the blower motor company and found out that the motor was still under warranty (saving us approx $900). By 10 am all was working again. I can't imagine better service anywhere!

I have special needs and this company did coropate with me with these special needs. I am chemically sensitive so they corporate as making the system as safe as possible so that when the air came through that it would be clear. However, when the salesmen came to the house I said my ac is loud and I want a system that is not going to be as loud. He said we will see to it that we will find something that cuts back on the noise. The system they installed is horrible. It keeps me up at night because it is so loud. I wrote letters to the company and I called and they never responded to me. As time went on I asked to speak to the owner and I still got no response.
