The service was good. I found out after the fact how overpriced the item was. I was charged $175 for the capacitor. I looked online after, and found out the part goes for under $10.
Description of Work: My AC unit stopped cooling. It turned out the capacitor needed to be replaced.

Dear Angie's List Member, First, thank you for the solid grades. Regarding the price, the replacement parts we use are OEM, which tend to carry a higher cost than their generic counterparts. This said, we do work diligently to provide fair and competitive pricing. In the end, we are happy we were able to restore your comfort. The Bay Area Heating and Cooling Team

Jason arrived near the beginning of the service window (12-4) and started with a checkup of my air handler. He found that another technician had installed my UV light in an inadequate location, so he relocated the UV light free of charge. The only other problem he found was that a capacitor was nearly worn out, so he replaced it. Jason gave me tips on the proper maintenance of the A/C system while he did the service on it. The only cost to me was the price of the capacitor and the price of the Angie's List coupon.

He lied, because it ended up being a crack in the drip pan. I was told there was a freon leak causing the dripping and need to replace both units.

Dear Member, We regret your experience with Bay Area Heating and Cooling was viewed as less than fantastic. We pulled your service ticket and will attempt to answer your frustration though all of the details (e.g. if you had another tech diagnose a crack and if so, when) aren't clear. According to our technician, your system's sub cooling was lower and the super heat was quite higher than recommended. Additionally, your system was 30%-35% low on refrigerant. Our tech made no indication there was a crack in the drain pan at the time of his visit, though low refrigerant could have lead to one then or later. Our tech attempted to contact the manufacturer for parts, but the line was disconnected and he was unable to do so otherwise. For this reason, an upgrade to your aging system was recommended. Nobody lied to you. The above said, we wish you nothing but the best. The Bay Area Heating and Cooling Team

First off, I would like to commend and thank Bay Area Heating & Cooling Inc., namely Vince for providing both the motivation and incentive to learn what needed to be done on our part for the services quoted. For only $140 (approximate) in parts, a 20 minute conversation with Home Depot personnel, and 90 minutes of labor, the entire job was completed by a housewife with ZERO HVAC or electrician experience. All this was possible through the Bay Area H&C 'quote' of $880.00 (option 1, they called it), and option 2, $1055.00. All this for a 90 min. job by someone with NO EXPERIENCE in this field! The exhaust fan we already had as Vince knew that ahead of time but still charged an insane amount for such a simple job in labor alone. We are no stranger to how Florida companies work, but if you did not not want to do the job, just say so and avoid reviews such as this. Lastly, we just completed full renovations on our house and as a personal recommendation to ALL those reading this post, do NOT EVER do business with ANY company (eg. Bay Area Heating & Cooling Inc.) that charges for a quote. Not only will they be overpriced and of poor quality, but they 'think' you will not do your own research and discover how fraudulent they truly are. My personal thanks to Bay Area Heating & Cooling Inc for showing us just how overpriced you are and how you view potential customers.

Response from Bay Area Heating & Cooling Inc
Dear Member, We regret your experience with Bay Area Heating and Cooling was viewed as less than spectacular. In our defense, we have built our reputation by supplying quality service and fair, honest pricing as evidenced by our hundreds of positive reviews on Angie's List. The project you contacted us for included an Angie's List coupon redeemable for a free diagnostic WITH repair on a non-working HVAC system. This was not the case. Upon arriving at your home, you requested an estimate to install a used bathroom exhaust fan, new electrical work as well as additional metal ventilation ductwork. This work requires a mechanical AND electrical permit by a licensed State of Florida Contractor for the municipality you reside in. In this case, the proper permits alone would have cost $ 150 to $ 200 and involved two separate contractors to complete the project. We commend the, as you wrote, "housewife," for being able to complete the project as well as the Home Depot employee who supplied the materials needed. But, as mentioned above this work requires a permit and inspection by a mechanical and electrical building inspector. In fact, it appears the that was performed was done in violation of state statute 489 section (h) which reads; Commence or perform work for which a building permit is required pursuant to part IV of chapter 553 without such building permit being in effect; or (i) Willfully or deliberately disregard or violate any municipal or county ordinance relating to uncertified or unregistered contractors. 489.13 Unlicensed contracting; notice of noncompliance; fine; authority to issue or receive a building permit; (1) Any person performing an activity requiring licensure under this part as a construction contractor is guilty of unlicensed contracting if he or she does not hold a valid active certificate or registration authorizing him or her to perform such activity, regardless of whether he or she holds a local construction contractor license or local certificate of competency. Persons working outside the geographical scope of their registration are guilty of unlicensed activity for purposes of this part. (2) For a first offense, any person who holds a state or local construction license and is found guilty of unlicensed contracting under this section shall be issued a notice of noncompliance pursuant to s. 489.131(7). (3) Notwithstanding s. 455.228, the department may impose an administrative fine of up to $10,000 on any unlicensed person guilty of unlicensed contracting. In addition, the department may assess reasonable investigative and legal costs for prosecution of the violation against the unlicensed contractor. These state statutes are designed to protect homeowners from unsafe and unlicensed work such as the project you performed without a permit or proper inspections. Please be advised that after checking with the Pinellas county property appraisers office we could find no record of any permits pulled for this project. As stated earlier, we work diligently to provide great service. Additionally, while we are not always the least expensive option, we do work diligently to be price competitive as well. To label us as "fraudulent" is offensive as much as it is mis-informed. The above said, we wish you nothing but the best. The Bay Area Heating and Cooling Team

This is more for the owners/managers information. I did not have any work completed and my only experience was with the office staff during a phone call. I filled out online contact request. BAHC promptly contacted me before 10:00 am that morning. I spoke to a nice young lady and I attempted to explain my situation with an unsatisfactory result. My situation; I have a 2010, 2.5 ton, 13 SEER, Trane air condition in my 1520 square home. We have installed in efficiency windows and have been told from prior service (with another company) the air ducts are in good condition with additional wrapping. The only issue I have is during July and August when temperatures are at their peak. The system runs all day and the inside temperatures rise to 80 or 81 degrees and will not drop below 77 at best in the evening. I wanted to make an appointment regarding an upgrade to my current system or to get a professional opinion on the quality of my insulation or other more affordable fixes to this issue. I was told someone could come out and give me a price on a new unit or they could send a service technician out for $69. I told her the A/C is working property except during peak summer and did not need service. I did not want to pay for the opportunity to spend several thousand dollars. Something must of been lost in transition here. Although we only purchased the home in 2015 there is a BAHC sticker on the breaker box and I though I would give them another shot. Maybe I can have a manager help me understand the process.

Dear Member, First, we apologize your experience with Bay Area Heating and Cooling was viewed as frustrating and we agree that there was some miscommunication. In your review you wrote "I wanted to make an appointment regarding an upgrade to my current system or to get a professional opinion on the quality of my insulation or other more affordable fixes to this issue." In fairness, your online contact request indicated you were interested in installation. Once on the phone, our staff member spoke with you about setting up an estimate to which you asked how did we know if it needed to be replaced. You also stated the system was working fine. This was confusing to our staff member because again, your initial email indicated you were interested in replacement. In response our staff member offered to send out a tech for a diagnostic or tune up both of which you weren't interested in. You ended the call shortly thereafter. After speaking with our staff member, she was simply confused on what you were looking for. To be clear, estimates and diagnostics are two different services that require different personnel. Estimates on new systems are free. System diagnostics are $69.95. Through Angie's List we offer a coupon for a free diagnostic service call with paid repair. If a customer decides to forgo the recommended repair, the diagnostic service call fee of $69.95 is applicable. In hindsight, it seems the best course of action would have been to have a technician review your system and make a recommendation on repair(s) for $69.95. From there, you could have chosen to complete the repair (with the earlier mentioned coupon the $69.95 would have been waived) or set up an estimate on a new system for free. It should also be noted, we completed a diagnostic for you in July 2015 that outlined your system's issues. If you would like additional clarification, please feel free to call us. Best, The Bay Area Heating and Cooling Team

Jason took his time and explained everything he was doing, he was knowledgable and even logged on to this site for so I could do his review after mine did not work. I have to say that he was polite and courteous with my wife and me. Thank you Wayne Robbins

The person was very knowledgeable and efficient. Also on time, and professional. also their maintenance plan was lower than some other companies. I paid $45 for them to come and check out my system, plus $199 for twice a year maintenance.
Description of Work: I thought I had a problem with my compressor, turns out I did not, but because the system is 3 years old I did sign up for the maintenance plan. They were offering a special on maintenance, which I purchased through Angie's list.
