That went okay. It wasn't sensational but it was okay, it was acceptable. They were here about October 30th 2015. I wouldn't use them again. It wasn't a spectacular service call but you have an Angie's fee on top of it and it was more expensive. I didn't pay any more because the price was too high.

Greg showed up on time and was very pleasant. He checked and cleaned the entire HVAC system and presented me with a list of recommendations ranging from $50 to $1200. We did choose the $50 service, which included charging the system with additional R-410a freon. Total cost was approximately $100.

Jerry was extremely low-key and professional. Called first, arrived on time. Patiently ran through several tests re my concerns on loud compressor shutdown. Suggested a part that will extend life of unit, but no high-pressure sales tactics.

The service person who came introduced me to my (new to me) system, checked it and the compressor on the roof. When he wrapped up he mentioned a couple of proactive options that would improve the performance of the system and save on wear and tear. I appreciated the information. I asked how imperative the suggestions were. He explained his written suggestions and never pushed me to do the service. I greatly appreciated his honesty and will call them when I am ready to have the work done.

Dear Angie's List Member, Thank you for the solid grades. After reading your review, we pulled your file in an effort to understand your issue. It looks like we visited your business location in late October and completed tune-ups on two units. According to the check list, both units received complete tune-ups. We also returned a couple of days later and installed a new filter at no charge. With the above said, we regret your experience was viewed as less than stellar. We look forward to making things right in the future.

It didn't turn out well. We were looking to get into a new A/C system but they are overpriced and I don't want to call them back. They called back to check up on me and ask if I'm still interested. I said I found a better priced guy and they said they gave me their best price and asked what the other guy gave. All of a sudden they were able to match it. I said if they gave me that price back then, then I would have gone with them. They were asking me what the other guy gave me and now all of a sudden they could match it magically. I could hear him pulling drawers and his swivel chair squeaking around like he was doing something. They said they can match that price. It was too late. They came out and did the service, and as far as the new system, they were way overboard in their pricing. I had told to each person I called and they are the only ones from Angie's List that I went with but then I went to others, and they were the only ones who came in over everyone else then switched price at the last minute. The gentleman that came out and did the A/C inspection is a great guy. I've got nothing against him. He did his job and he did it well, but the people in the office were just kind of slimy. I know I've got another inspection through them but we're looking to sell the house. We're going to be putting it up in the market so I doubt I'm going to be using them for it so I guess I lose out on that money. They should have come already for the second one to at least cut space with me, and they haven't even done that so there's strike 2 against them. The guy that came out was straight up. He told me what it was and that we needed a new system. He told me to contact their main office and they will give me a quote. I did and I set out and did 3 others. They were the highest. They should be competitive with their pricing on new installations on the onset. What they did was they threw it to where I live and stuff like that without really understanding my situation throughout the high price and we'll take it, if not they would bounce it around. They should give a true price upfront. They shouldn't jerk people around. I didn't get my second inspection from them. Nobody contacted me back and I forgot all about it by now so they got a freebie out of me. They put me off twice. We set up a date and they skipped and they said that wasn't the date, but I already marked it on my calendar. They kind of lied about that. They pulled the plug on me at the end.
Description of Work: I bought a Big Deal for Bay Area Heating & Cooling Inc. for 2 inspections for 1 price.

Dear Angie's List Member, First, we'd like to apologize that your experience was less than spectacular. After reading your review, we pulled your file in an effort to understand your frustration. As your new system quote was some time ago, we weren't able to find anyone on our team who recollected speaking with you let alone the conversation. Related to the price, while we are not always the lowest, we do have a team of folks who work diligently to keep us price competitive. Without knowing exactly what you were quoted by others (equipment size, extras, etc), it is a bit difficult to address the difference in pricing. Related to your tune up, you were correct, you were due. We reached out to you recently and you indicated since you were selling the house, you wanted to forgo a visit. Know that providing quality customer service has always and will continue to be a priority for Bay Area Heating and Cooling. It's our tagline, and our Super Service awards from Angie's List dating back to 2007 and A+ rating from the BBB are both testaments of this. The above said, we hope you will give us the opportunity to make things right in the future. If that opportunity doesn't materialize, we wish you nothing but the best.

Phil arrived as scheduled. He checked out the air handler, showed me where the filter should be installed, and blew out the drain pipe. The drain pipe was clogged and he spent a lot of time looking for the drain pipe exit point outside the house. I helped him and we never did find where the drain exited. I told him not to spend any more time on this, as the system checkout did not require him to do so. Phil then examined the condenser, took the pressure readings, and checked out the evaporator. He gave me a full report on the system.

See above. Plus, during the original call I asked the girl who scheduled my appt. to advise me what coupons were available since I was an Angie's List client and she walked me through the process which saved me about $50.00 on this work. Wonderful service.
Description of Work: Mike came out. He was running a little late, but the office gave us a phone call to let us know about that prior to the end of his arrival window time. That's good service right there. He was here for a little over an hour. He answered all my questions, checked and cleaned the HVAC unit. Saved me a lot of money with some good advice about why there was dirt coming out around 2 of my ceiling vents and not the others. The only thing he tried to sell me was a preventative maintenance agreement and was low key about that. I'm not one of those people who buys maintenance agreements, but given that I'm in Florida and we're talking about an A/C, I will seriously consider doing this. If I do, it will be purchased from Bay Area Heating and Cooling. We have had two other A/C companies out to the house over 8 years in FL and they have both been problematic. Bay Area Heating and Cooling will be the only A/C company I call from now on as long as they continue to do business like this.

The install technicians were here 12 hours changing out my existing Compressor and Air Handler. There were many previous issues they worked tirelessly on to include inside attic work the results of which I am very pleased with. Sean had identified some air flow issues when performing the initial estimate and Dave was by today to make some final modifications and spent the time necessary ensuring the system was running correctly. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

It didn't go that well. The guy came out and said we needed a $4000 re-piping. All the distribution pipes had to be redone. Then we had somebody else come out and say that's not necessary, nobody really does that. They did give us an alternative for $2000. It was like a scam. I don't believe what he told us. It wasn't that he wasn't pleasant. He was real pleasant. The price was okay if he gave us good information. My husband called him to find out exactly what was going on. He told him what he told me. So, he was responsive. I would tell a friend not to use them. They could have been honest.

Provider was professional and on time. Called provider to get estimate on cleaning up electrical panel based on home inspection report to purchase our home. The provider clearly stated that the panel must be replaced or refurbished as it was a safety hazard in it present condition. (corrosion to wires, and burning circuit breaker). We chose to refurbished the panel. Work was done quickly and efficiently to minimize the amount of time the house was to be without power. The technicians were professional, polite and friendly. I would use this company again and would recommend them.

We had them come out and take a look at our AC system. There was a cap that wasn't covered and was loose. The company did the diagnosis to see what was wrong and we were told that everything was good. Two weeks later the AC went out and I ended up calling another company to take a look. I was told that there were loose wires on the AC and now feel that Bay Area Heating and Cooling didn't do a thorough job with their diagnostic service call.
