The office staff at this time of interface was LESS than professional. The office staff called with a business solicitation. She tried to have a conversation with me on the phone and participate with the office small talk at the same time. I hung up. She called me back and tried to engage me again; I told her have I had hung up. She did not apologize, but rather tried to defend her behavior. I disengaged. A simple apology would have been appropriate. Again, I have done business with this firm before. Office support staff is the weak link.
Description of Work: At this time nothing. I have used this firm in the past with some level of satisfaction.

Dear Angie's List Customer, We appreciate your business and understand your frustration. We checked our records and it appears we haven't spoken with you since early July when we scheduled and completed a service call. Additionally, know that we do not engage in outbound phone solicitations. There are a handful of companies that operate in the area with similar names, and we believe this may have lead to a mix-up. It has happened before. With the above in mind, our owner called to help clear up what appears to be some confusion. At the time of his call, you were tied up and could not talk. Please feel free to call anytime to discuss further and as mentioned above, know that we value your business...

Work was diagnostic - to determine why H/AC system installed by Harrell Home Services did not provide heat. They found that heat unit was inadequate. Harrell did not install the correct heating part t! Unit cost almost $7,000. Having their diagnosis in hand, I was able to prove what needed to be done to correct the probem. I will contact Bay Area for any future service, for sure. Sorry I didn't call them in the 1st place to install new entire unit
Description of Work: Used Angie's Big Deal. Called Bay Area H/AC to provide 2nd opinion on new Heat/AC system installed by another company. The heating feature didn't work at all.

System restored to normal operation. No more issues in the past 6 months. Staff had a tech at my house within an hour of calling to set up the service call. Tech was friendly, professional, and did quality work. The booster might have been an unnecessary "up-sell", but with no A/C in FL in August I wasn't really in a position to haggle.
Description of Work: Diagnosed A/C system failure. Installed compressor booster cap. Added refrigerant (system had not been topped off since installation in 2008).

It didn't go well at all. When they came to our house they tried to fix something and after that the same thing broke again so they weren't really good. I did not take them for another job; I got someone else.

Everything went smoothly from the evaluating/estimating thru the installation and cleanup to the bulding inspection. I wanted a reverse cycle heat pump; one contractor told me the wiring between our condo apartment and the roof where the compressor unit is was insufficient, but Shaun from Bay Area did a more thorough job of evaluating the wiring and we had enough. It's a Trane system and it's working great.

I liked them, and I used them last year. I bought a coupon and used them for winter and will use them for the summer. They are personable, when I call them, they answer the phone, and they answer my questions. She is very helpful, and they change my filters. They have been pretty honest with me.

This was completed back in February. Since day one of installation, humidity levels were very high "Between 50% to 70%”. They have sent out 3 different techs to make adjustments. The unit is Amana unit. They told me, they would have to contact them to see what the issue was and how to adjust it. They informed me that they would have to send out the Amana Goodman tech to make the adjustments but that tech has never contacted to get the service scheduled. Bay Area was supposed to contact Amana Goodman for me but I haven’t heard from them either. Last contact was with Chris Gourdien ,one of the managers, was on December the 5th about this situation. He informed me that he would reach out to Amana Goodman and would follow up with me on Monday but now it is Friday and I still haven’t heard from him.
Description of Work: They installed a new HVAC system.

As you wrote, in an effort to get the humidity levels to the desired 30%-40%, we have sent out technicians multiple times to diagnose your system's issue and make adjustments. In May of 2014, a Bay Area Heating and Cooling technician was dispatched to your home. While there, the technician spoke to the Amana/Goodman Field Service Representative in an attempt to get the humidity within the desired range. During this call the technician reviewed all the equipment settings with the FSR to ensure the system was correctly programmed. The humidity level was 50% when finished. In June of 2014 the thermostat was replaced at no charge per your request. Unfortunately, this did not solve the issue. Please know that Bay Area has made numerous attempts to arrange for a representative from Amana/Goodman to visit your home to perform a thorough diagnosis of the system and reduce the humidity level to 30%-40%. This has been challenging since Amana/Goodman has only one Field Service Technician for the entire west central region of Florida. After multiple attempts, a visit by the Amana/Goodman FSR has been arranged for Wednesday, December 17. The owner of Bay Area Heating & Cooling will also be in attendance. Your satisfaction is paramount, so every request you have made for a service technician has been honored. Unfortunately, Bay Area does not control the schedule for the Amana/Goodman representative in order to facilitate an earlier visit. This said, we do apologize for the inconveniences and look forward to solving this issue for you.

They discussed several options with me and installed a new unit the next day. Installation was very professional, including a thorough cleanup. Everyone we dealt with was very polite and professional.
Description of Work: Diagnosed a problem with my heater and recommended replacement, as the unit was 8 years old and was heavily corroded by exposure to salt air (at the beach).

Bay Area stood 100% behind their work! In 2010 they provided a new heating and air conditioning system for our home. It was the perfect size and made our lives wonderfully comfortable. Recently, I had to take something down from the top of a bookcase over which was a vent directly coming from the plenum. I was horrified to discover the object was completely covered with mold. I call Bay Area and they came out to inspect and give us an estimate of the needed work. I was rather upset because this was a health issue. After they carefully inspected their own photographs, they admitted the plenum they had installed in 2010 had not been insulated properly allowing humidity to enter the system and cause mold to grow. For various important reasons, they did the entire job at their cost, an incredibly honest move on their part and one that relieved a retired couple from having to take out a loan for $1600! We have been their customers for nearly ten years and I wouldn't dream of going elsewhere. Their workmanship is always excellent, they are on time, they have been incredibly helpful in getting financing for us, and they fulfill our service contracts with regularity. Everyone is always pleasant, careful and caring. They deserve every A they have been awarded.
Description of Work: Replaced the plenum over our furnace and steamed cleaned and sanitized all ducts.

They were nice, but it took us three times to pass inspection. I wasn't happy about that. It wasn't the work that was the problem. They failed to pull electrical permit and then they failed to take pick up a certain box so the inspector knows exactly what type of unit was installed so that he can make sure that everything was correct for that unit size. They did good work, but they were flabby with like the details so that a cost of time to have inspectors come out take some time.

Dear Member, We would like to thank you for your continued business with Bay Area Heating and Cooling and also apologize for any inconveniences you may have experienced with the installation of your new system. We understand your frustration. To clarify, we did not pull an electrical permit with our mechanical permit because in most municipalities an electrical permit is not needed for swapping out an existing service disconnect. Additionally, after speaking with the chief mechanical inspector for your municipality, he shared that the inspector that was sent out was new, and may have over-analyzed the inspection and process. All this being said, know that it is our first and most important priority to make the customer happy and comfortable with the inspection process as well as their new air conditioning system. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you in the future.

My 50s era house had thru-the-wall air conditioning units and baseboard heat that were inefficient and unmanageable. They needed to be replaced. I contacted three top rated Angie's List companies for estimates. One came to look and never followed through with an estimate. One emailed me a selection of equipment to choose with no direction of what the house needed. Shaun provided a clear selection of three plans of differing efficiency for heat pump systems (all were Trane because I'd specified that was the manufacturer I preferred), and the specifications and price for each. He explained the strengths and weaknesses of each level of package and I chose one. The next week his four-man crew was here at the house to begin the install. They put in the duct work, ceiling vents, outside heat pump and in-attic air handler, and thermostat in four days. The crew was wonderful and worked so well together. They cleaned up each day and did a final cleanup at the end of the job when one of them walked me through managing the system. Shaun even initiated the application for an energy star credit from Duke which the company granted. I'm completely satisfied and recommend Bay Area without reservation.

I first contacted Bay Area Heating & Cooling to service my mother's a/c unit which was not cooling. The team came out in July 2014 and did an excellent job replacing the a/c units. Arrived on time, very professional, conscious of other tenants in the community (not blocking parking area for other tenants). After I saw how happy my mother was with the services provided, I hired them to do a tune up on my units. Again, the gentleman arrived way ahead of schedule (wonderful!) and explained what he was doing as he performed the tune up. He was very informative and knowledgeable in his field. I will hire this company and/or recommend them to every one I know. And Tina is the one to call! Thank you for a job well done!

So far, I am happy with them. It had been a year since they installed the system. They did not charge me anything for the annual service because they installed the unit and I get one free service. They have an outstanding service. They were on top of it the whole time. Their pricing was very good for the installation, but for the service, I have to go to somebody else. They were the least expensive that I could find for the installation and they were so professional. For the service, they are like three times more. The quality of the service was just fine, but they did not even change my filter. Unfortunately, I am not going to use them because of their pricing for the service.
Description of Work: I worked with Bay Area Heating and Cooling. They took out my automatic controller and put in a crappy manual controller. I pointed this out and they came by the next day and get the controller done. So, I was happy with that. They just came by and serviced it.

DISCLOSURE: We didn't hire Bay Area Heating and Cooling (a competing offer was too good to pass up) That said, our experience with them was excellent. Bay Area called within 24 hours of my initial email to schedule an appointment for a load calculation and potential HVAC replacement. They came out and were able to quickly get a load calculation and provide a proposal with multiple options. Based on their proposal and our conversations, Bay Area is extremely competitive and we'd be happy to work with them in the future.
