Our A/C went out on a Sat evening in the hottest part of the summer. We thought for sure we'd be miserable all weekend and possibly miss a day of work on Mon. Early Sun morning we called Thigpen after ready Angie's list reviews just see if how high the weekend or emergency rate may be. We were amazed that there was no additional charge for Sun service. We had air back on in a couple of hours. Since it was the weekend, additional parts were still needed but we had A/C and they were prompt to come back to finish the job early in the week. We would highly recommend Thigpen and use them again ourselves.

This was done over the phone. We were out of town and the unit was installed in Neptune Beach Fla. We talked to Steve who worked up a quotation and faxed the quote to us. This was done after 5:30pm, which indicated to us that he was aware that the tenant was without A/C, with consideration like that we were sure this was the company and man we wanted to do business with. The unit was installed in record time and the tenant said the people were excellent.

I had them install a new heat pump about 3 years ago. I had 3 vendors and they had the best price and the product. It was a high-end product. They are pretty good. I spent $85 per heat pump.
Description of Work: Thigpen Heating & Cooling Inc installed my heat pump. They serviced it recently. They did the check up on the air conditioner. I've got 2 heat pumps and they did a tune-up on both of them.

I had had an unfortunate experience with Florida Home the previous day, when the technician did a supposed inspection and told me I needed a capacitor which he said would cost $363. I looked on the internet, and capacitors were going for about $20, but I didn't know how to install it, so I called various other Angie's List providers to compare prices. All were a lot cheaper than Florida Home, some less than half the price. Two places offered free second opinions; Thigpen was one of them. They sent someone over in short order. Jeff was very neat, clean and professional. He was happy to have me observe what he was doing and explained everything. He even called his supervisor to verify his findings. He said that the capacitor didn't need to be replaced at all! I plan to purchase the Thigpen plan at $155 a year for two thorough inspections annually. I was completely pleased with every aspect of my dealings with them, and I'm not easy to please.
Description of Work: A second opinion on a previous maintenance inspection done by another provider. The technician did a check of all components of my system.

The representative, Steve Toney, was couteous, prompt and professional at all times. The final decision came down to the quote from Thigpen and a comparable quote from another highly rated company. (from a total of five contractors we asked to bid) At all times, Steve responded promptly to requests for information, literature and pricing. The other finalist company was a bit less expensive for comparable units and (as well) offered some extras which closed the deal. We really hated to notify Steve that we had chosen the other company as our experiences with him/Thigpen has been excellent during the process.
Description of Work: Due to previous good service experience, we requested that they bid on replacing our 12 year old heat pump for the ground floor.

I have used them for years. One thing that I like about them is that their techs are not paid on commission, so they don't try and sell you services that you don't need. They installed our system 8 years ago and I have used them since then.

Researched Angie's List for good candidates to perform preventive maintenance (no apparent problems) on home air conditioning/heating system. Thigpen had excellent ratings and phoned the office to set up an appointment. The office manager stated that an annual maintenance plan would be to my advantage. Signed up for a twice a year maintenance check of air conditioner/heat pump. Technican was 30 minutes late due to complications at a prior service site. Thigpen technician, Sam, was very professional, thorough and explained all parts of the system. I stayed with him during the entire service to become familiar with my 8 year old system. Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend Thigpen and Sam for heating and air conditioning maintenance work.
Description of Work: Had preventive maintenance to A/C Heat Pump and air handler. Checked AMPS, Volts, coils, and blower.Changed filter and cleaned out drain.

Unfortunately I had to wait yet another day without A/C because of Thigpens inability to pick up a phone and call me or let me know on the initial call that he would not be able to make it to my house. Never again will I call the company, even in an emergency for fear of unreliable service.
Description of Work: I called Thigpen after finding out that the A/C company I wanted to use was busy and could not make it out to my house until Monday. Since I had been without A/C for several days I called Thigpens emergency number. I left a message and was called back within about 10 minutes, which I though was a good response time. After talking with Thigpen and explained the problem, I was told that he had 2 more stops but he would be at my house soon after. I asked specifically that if for any reason he felt that he would not be able to make it, to please call because I had called two other companies and left messages to call me back. I let him know that if for any reason he could not make it, I could still have some one else come in and he assured me that he would fix my a/c that day. So when the other two companies called me back, I declined their service because I was told by Thigpen that he would be at my house, he never did come to the house and he never called to let me know he would not be able to make it. I went with the only A/C place that I can trust in Jacksonville area, Chase Air.

Our AC went down on Saturday, and I joined Angie's List to find a repair company as I was pretty unsatisfied with the last one I dealt with. Thigpen's was highly recommened and was listed as having 24-hour repair, so I called Sunday morning and left a message. I never heard back on that and called again during office hours Monday morning. Good thing, as I found I still hadn't been put on any sort of callback list. I was told a tech could come out around 4 pm, so I decided to go to work as I was now on day 3 with no AC. I missed a call with an opportunity for an earlier appointment at 10 am, but when I called back about that I was told I could still move up to 2 pm, which I gladly accepted. I cut out of work early and 2 pm came and went with no phone calls from anybody. Finally at 3:45 I called again - by now it was starting to rain - and was told i was next on the list. My AC was fixed within 20 minutes of the tech pulling up in my driveway! It was a just a capactior and he had it swapped out in a jiffy. I was a little disappointed in the communication issues I had with the office, but i feel like on a monday after a VERY hot weekend in town they were probably pretty busy. I was very pleased with the tech - he clearly knew what he was doing and was efficient in his work. I didn't feel ripped off or left questioning the level of service like I did with our previous AC company. So I will try Thigpen again in the future for a routine system cleaning/tune up and see how they do!

I spent about $500 on the job. They were very efficient. They got the parts. The only thing I did not like was that they gave me just one bill, without giving me the breakup towards labor charges and the cost of the parts used. I felt it was high. However, when I asked around, the price seemed to be in line with the other companies. The part was not in stock and it was very hot during that time. So, they took a while to come out. However, they came out on time when they finally said they would. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Thigpen Heating & Cooling Inc., a year ago. They replaced the blower motor controller (the fan) module.

Absolutely excellent! start to finish.
Description of Work: I contacted several AC providers and settled on Thigpen after many referrals. They came, gave an excellent presentation, explanation, etc. When asked what it would take to get me to sign that day for new 4 ton unit, we settled on getting the 15 seer unit for the same price as the 13 seer. Total unit inside and out, drain pan, tubing, all of it replaced. Price included some electrical updating, access thru attic, new thermostat, etc, plus 10 year warranty, two free cleanings.They did an excellent job! Right on time, totally cleaned up any traces, removed all the old stuff. The supervisor/salesman even came in the middle of job to check on progress and bring the guys lunch. Really impressed with the job! Other companies had "extra charges" for new drain pan, wiring, etc.

I have a water-to-air heat pump which is a geothermal unit, and they installed that for me. They have a long history in this area; I think they have been in business since the 1940s or something. They are a good company. They are experts at what they do and are known as quality providers. I have never had anybody else out. Their price is in the mid range. They have service contracts and stuff which are real reasonable, although I don't have one on this particular unit. However, I have a long-term warranty on all this stuff. They show up when they are supposed to, always do what they say they are going to do and are very thorough in explaining what they do. I would use them again in the future.

Problem was a capacitor that was under warranty, so I was only charged labor. The A/C was up and running within 30 minutes of the repairman's arrival.
Description of Work: One of our A/C units stopped working on Sunday. I called and left a voice mail, and they promptly called me early Tuesday. A repairman was at my house that afternoon. I have a maintenence contract with Thigpen, and I have had them do repair work in the past. I have found them to be very honest, reasonably priced, and don't try to do unneeded repairs. I've referred two friends to them, and they were very happy with them. One friend had another company come out and try to sell her a new compressor. Thigpen diagnosed the problem and it was a cheap, quick repair. Another friend had the same experience. It seems like there are some unscrupulous HVAC companies in the area, and Thigpen is a good example of an honest company that does the right thing at the right price.

They were good. He had to come out three times to narrow it down. He solved the issue the first time, but the part that he put in went bad. Third time he solved it for good. He didn’t charge me extra for coming out the other times. I was really satisfied with him. He was a really hard worker. He came out quickly during the hot season. He came out like almost the same day for follow up. He was a really nice guy. He was very polite and very good with high technical knowledge. The price was in line with other companies, it was not outrageous. They delivered good quality for a fair price.

I recently had my ac ducts cleaned and a new system installed by Thigpen Heating and Cooling Inc. I am very impressed by this company. They were on time to all three appoints from sales to installation. They did a excellent job. The techs were very polite and professional. Also, They were about 1 thousand dollars less than the nearest competitor. I feel I was given terrific service at a great price. I highly recommend this company for your heating and cooling needs.

Excellent. Very happy altogether. Very smooth process. Thigpen is very reputable but I wouldn't buy a Trane again. The evaporator coil broke down completely after 2 years. Parts were covered by warranty but labor was not. Thigpen gave us the labor $300.
