Edward and Jason did an awesome job even with it being a holiday weekend they stayed until almost 7 pm from 8 am to make sure everything was running right and all the extra work they had to do for the installation was done right. Great employees Balanced Air is lucky to have these two working for them, I hope that they know it.

I got them from Angie’s List. They’re excellent. I have a service agreement, it’s for two visits a year. It cost $129 a year. Otherwise it would be $75 for a service call.

Response from Balanced Air Inc
Mr. [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry you were not completely satisfied with our services. However, I am not sorry that my team was able to respond to your request for service within just a few hours of you calling. I am not sorry that we were able to accurately diagnose and repair your system during our visit thanks to our fully stocked truck. I am not sorry that we honored a coupon that you were unable to provide to us since you are a valued Angie's List member. I am not sorry that all of our repairs, including the one at your home on 4/15/16, is fully backed by our warranty should any more problems arise. I am not sorry that our pricing is competitive and reasonable and significantly higher than an unlicensed handyman. I believe the F rating you have provided does not accurately reflect the quality of service that you received from our company and for that I am sorry. Thank you.

Description of Work: They repaired my A/C unit by clearing the drain. Very professional, prompt and reasonable. They also honored the coupon from Angies List. The technician, Dustin, knew what to do immediately and went right to work. His work area was perfectly clean when he was done. I will definitely use them again.

I actually called a couple of different places before I looked up Balanced Air on Angie's List. The first two companies were rude and I really felt like they had no time to deal with my issue. I called Balanced Air and the person who answered the phone let me the owner would be calling back to schedule an appointment. Ben called me back within 15 minutes. He was professional, very courteous and I fully expected him to tell me that they would not have an appointment until the next day but he promptly told me that Dustin could come out between 6-8. I asked him if it would be a "afterhours charge" and he told me not at all and because I was an Angie's List customer the service call would only be $44.00 and $30.00 off the service cost. My overall experience with this company was outstanding and I intend to stay with them as a customer because they didn't try to sell me something I don't need, didn't overcharge me like so many of the other companies do and Dustin corrected the problem right the first time. In my book that is A+ all the way. Thank you Balanced Air!! Kelly A. Webb
Description of Work: The upstairs pvc lines were completely clogged upstairs as well as outside. Dustin was excellent and took care of the issue by unclogging and blowing out outside drain but had to cut the line in the attic because it was so clogged it could not be blown out.

Description of Work: Our upstairs unit, a 26 yr. old Trane AC, experienced stuck contacts and was inoperable. Called Balanced Air in AM and was given 4-6pm timeframe. Tech showed up at 4:30. After being told the symptoms, the tech knew where to look, found the stuck contacts, manually separate them, tested the system and confirmed it was operating normally. 30 minutes after arriving, he left and system is still OK. Only cost the $70 service call price. |Balanced Air installed our downstairs unit 3 years ago and we're very happy with it so far - no problems.

Company called other day to push service back from 12-2pm to 2-4pm. Then on day of service called at 1230 saying they won't make it out today for service. Wanted me to reschedule. I guess they have no idea what an appointment is.

We are very sorry that this happened to you. We truly regret being unable to arrive at your home on time as it is our goal to arrive at every appointment either on time or early. Occasionally, events occur that are outside of our control and cause our technicians to get behind schedule. Additionally, in an effort to ensure quality, it is important to us to spend whatever time is necessary at each customer's home. We strive to provide the same level of service to all of our customers.

After coming out for a spring tune-up, our technician noted a few items that required some additional work and completed them without additional charge. We had a problem a few days later due to an issue that was missed during their first visit (though outside of the normal tune-up process), and they came out and fixed it immediately at no cost to us. We are very pleased with the results.
