Highly disappointed.
Description of Work: Pros: Company is very responsive, sent the rep next day. Cons: cost and l lack of expertise. Very junior technician was sent who charged us for the "extended diagnostic" $690 just to say he does not know what is wrong and have to be back with more experienced person for more diagnostic and more $$$. We specify the issue is with the A/C electronic when we place the service call based on the diagnostic from our regular A/C guy who actually recommended to call Trane authorized service because they can do it. Highly disappointed.

They were pretty responsive. They were on time. The B ratings say that the service was pretty good. I can't remember exactly what they did. I think they did it rushly.

They came out to troubleshoot went threw a textbook checklist to see what was wrong basically ignoring what I told them was wrong. They left and the unit conditioned to leak. They came out again and did the exact same thing they did the first time. They insisted we pay for 2 maintenance calls even though the unit was still under warranty and I did not call for service I called because it was broke. They told me there was a recall on my unit and would order the new part. 10 weeks with a leaky broke unit went by and less then a year since I had paid $5000 for it. They refused to give me the new part until I paid hundreds for maintenance that they performed which I didn't ask for and the unit didn't even need! The girls in the office are the most inept people I have ever delt with and the company is so unprofessional I reported them threw lowes corporate office and threw the BBB. They are thieves and liars and I never would have overpaid for my unit at Lowes had I have known I wouldn't have been in good hands. Money wasted, they are horrible! I have no idea how they live with themselves essential robbing people and not honoring their fake warranty.
Description of Work: Have my unit under warranty threw Lowes when installed. Not even a year after instillation the unit was broken.

Response from Protocool Cooling Solutions Inc
I’m sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction [Member name]. Your contract was directly with LOWES although we are hired by them to perform the work therefore, I’m not sure why you are reporting about PROTOCOOL. Your remedies should be exclusively with LOWES. The description of the events however, is inconsistent with our core values and those of LOWES collectively. We didn’t get a stellar reputation by treating customers the way you described. Both companies are customer focused and go above and beyond to make sure that our customers are happy. To that point, we charged you nothing for performing ductwork valued at over $1,000 in an effort to make you happy. None of this was part of any contract with LOWES or PROTOCOOL, it was done because of our intense desire to make you happy. We also made other exceptions for different concerns you had. I personally reviewed your account and looked at all the specifics. All reasonable concerns were rectified promptly. Your complaints were considered and dealt with in a fair way. Apparently when the BBB and LOWES investigated your claims, they saw things different from the way you described them. We are committed to doing more than normal for all of our customers and I regret that you feel the way you do. Chris Pompilio

Description of Work: Our airconditioner was checked and serviced per our contract. The company representative was very professional and answered all our questions with respect to our bi-annual check up. An excellent company to do business with. I would recommend Protocool to anyone who needs first-class airconditioning service and new product installation.

They found out the breaker had gone bad and so he changed out the circuit breaker and made sure everything was working perfectly. They were very good. They had actually put in the A/C unit for us about two or three years ago, so they have experience working with it. I wouldn't say they are the cheapest, but they are also not the most expensive.
Description of Work: They come in a few times a year to flush out the line and make sure the air conditioner is running well. This most recent time they came out because we were hearing some fizzling noises in the circuit breaker panel, and we noticed that it happened when the air would switch on. We called them to come check on it before calling an electrician since we already had a service/maintenance plan with them.

I needed coil cleaning on an Air handler , they came and cleaned the coils and when I checked the coils were still dirty, I called them and they told me they were cleaned as best as possible. My unit never moved from 78 degrees and we could not sleep at night. I called Sears and asked them to come in and they took the coils out and cleaned , I now can sleep at night. I believe Protocool did not clean the coils and Sears confirm this

I am sincerely sorry to hear about your experience. I personally researched this and found no record of your calling our office to express your concern. We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. It's 100% right or 100% free. We would have sent a supervisor out immediately to do whatever was necessary to correct the problem on the spot, and would not leave until cooling was restored to your satisfaction. I will be calling you in a few minutes to make this right. Chris Pompilio V.P. Rated #1 in Customer Satisfaction

Chris was on time, friendly, professional, explained what he was doing, and was a very good representative of the company. The only issue I had was that the price was quoted at $125 and kept creeping up to $160.00.

Dear Member, I am sorry for the minor misunderstanding. When you originally called in, an evaluation was requested and the price quoted to you upfront. Upon arrival you expressed that you did not simply want an evaluation, but rather wanted a maintenance performed. The adjusted price was approved before the work began and was completed to your satisfaction according to our records. It was our error of not explaining the terminology more thoroughly. Please accept my apology. Ask for me personaly next time and I will make sure you are happy :) Chris Pompilio

This company was one of the best with which I have dealt. Every time Chris has been at the house, he has been right on time for the appointment. When he came over to do the original estimate he spent lots of time explaining the advantages and disadvantages of various models and manufacturers and answered all of our questions in enough detail so we were able to make an informed, educated decision. When, after the installation (which again was done on time and very professionally), there was a minor problem, their men were here the next morning and fixed the problem right away. Since we have had the new units, we have been able to reset our thermostats anywhere from 3 to 5 degrees higher than we had previously had them set. This is a company that is proud of he work it does and protects that reputation very carefully in the way they do their work.
Description of Work: We replaced 2 complete air conditioning systems, a 2 ton & a 5 ton unit including compressors, air handlers & thermostats.

We picked them because they were on Angie's List. They welded the evaporator system incorrectly, so all the gas leaked out. I came home from the hospital and noticed that the house was hot. I called them and they said they would have to charge extra because it was late in the day. The repairman confirmed that it was their fault. He didn't charge us for the supplies, but we were charged $50 for him to come out.
Description of Work: We had them install a $4100 unit, which involved a new system inside and out.

Very professional company. Chris gives you 200% of his time and effort. Found a better deal than what we had originally contracted for at approximately the same out of pocket cost. His crew went above and beyond the call of duty. They made sure we understood how to operate the new system before they left. Did some extra things and left the area spotless.

Workers came on appointment date first thing in the morning, and they worked hard for 8 hours until they got it working. They were very courteous and even cleaned up after themselves. The owner then came the next day to make sure everything was done right.
