It was alright. I wasn’t real happy with their service. They went through leaky gas pipe and when I called them back about it they said it was time for service warranty and they wouldn’t do anything about it and they will charge me another $400 for coming to fix the leak they had left and I negotiated and got it down to $200 and they should have taken full responsibility for that.
Description of Work: I used Patterson Comfort & Safety in summer to put in a space heater in my sun room.

Overall a good company on the HVAC end of their business. Superior to most of the other "retail" oriented hvac shops in Dubuque. Not the lowest prices. Fireplace sales and service were not very knowledgeable, but they were honest.

Everyone from Patterson was on time, cleaned up after themselves. When the boiler had a problem due to manufacturer error, Patterson worked up until the problem was corrected. Patterson was a little more expensive...
Description of Work: Install air conditioner and new boiler/bot water heater combo. Still need to run baseboard hot water registers in remodel area when ready.

Our 10-year-old-furnace was working intermittently. Called Patterson for repairs on 3/17/13 and service tech replaced furnace igniter. Service Tech stated that furnace drain hoses needed to be replaced and also recommended purchase of a new furnace. New drain hoses were replaced on 3/20/13. Furnace still not working correctly and called for service again. On 4/19/13 service tech replaced furnace smart valve. Furnace still not working and on 4/23/13 service tech resealed inducer motor housing. Furnace still not working correctly and on 4/26/13 service tech, once again, resealed inducer motor housing and said he may need to replace pressure vent switch. Furnace still not working correctly. Overall, Patterson could not accurately diagnose our furnace problem. I feel they just kept replacing expensive parts with either the hope that something would work or they could sell us a brand new furnace. Service techs were not knowledgeable in the repair of our furnace. Some of our repair costs were refunded, but not all that we paid. We feel we should have received the service promised for the amount of money spent.
Description of Work: On 3/17/13 10-year-old furnace was working intermittently - Service tech replaced furnace igniter - $347.93 and recommended buying a new furnace. 3/20/13 - Service tech replaced furnace drain hoses - $78.47 4/19/13 - Service tech replaced furnace smart valve - $422.35 4/23/13 - Furnace still not working correctly with all above replacement parts - service tech resealed inducer motor housing. 4/26/13 - Furnace still not working correctly - service tech again resealed inducer motor housing and said he may need to replace pressure vent switch. 4/27/13- Furnace still not working.

Overall, they made an expensive and unexpected purchase as pleasant as possible. I would definitely recommend them (and have).
Description of Work: I asked them to examine my furnace due to its age (21 years). They informed me that the heat exchange was cracked and that the furnace needed to be replaced. They were able to provide a bid and replace the furnace within 24 hours. They took the price of the initial furnace examination off of the furnace price and filed the rebate paperwork for me as well. This was all done the day before a huge snowstorm and within a couple of days of Christmas. Also impressed with their promptness and neatness.

I had them put in a furnace 20 years ago and it has been a very good furnace. They also put in an air conditioning unit about 15 years ago and it was an excellent air conditioning unit. It was time to replace this furnace and take advantage of federal tax rebates. I've had good experiences with them before. They are locally owned and they are really quality people. The technicians were really pleasant and good people to work with. They were really polite and good folks.
Description of Work: I used Patterson Heating & Cooling for a new furnace. I had them out two weeks ago because I am contemplating a fireplace change so I had them put together a bid for a gas fireplace insert for my wood fireplace. I bought a humidifier from them but I put that in myself.

I have had excellent experience with them. They worked together with the roof guys and did an excellent job. They were accommodating on the custom job. His price was in the ball park. They could have done better with the duct work since one bedroom is still cold.
Description of Work: I used Patterson Heating & Cooling to put a custom heating and air conditioning unit in my upstairs. They put furnace and air conditioner on the second floor and the first floor. I had to replace the one in the attic in the second floor. They could access the attic only through a small door, so the system had to be semi customer to fit in there. They had to retro fit it from the attic. They found out that they could not get the furnace from the inside to the attic, but since I had already scheduled to put a new roof on they called the roof guy who made a hole in the roof for them to get the furnace in. The roof guy then went ahead and put the roof.

They were very prompt in coming to look at the project that needed to be done. They came and checked things out. They called back within an hour and a half with an estimate. I thought it was reasonable. They were good about just doing it. They came, did it, and left. They cleaned up after themselves. There was no problem at all.
Description of Work: They put in a vent from the inside of my kitchen through the roof.
