Description of Work: The technician arrived 30 or more minutes prior to the scheduled time. Is that more than prompt? | |I have a brand new condo that has set unsold for several years. I wanted A1 Heating to inspect the furnace to insure that no problems were evident. In a short time, everything was verified okay. I used one of the $99 specials that are on Angie's List to insure the pricing was fixed. | |I did learn that A1 Heating is a fixed price provider of services. They use a price book for each and every service that they provide. An example of the extreme expense they charge for Ala Cart services is the installation of a new customer owned thermostat. The fee is almost $200 to remove an old thermostat and connect the five wires to a new unit. This and the confirmation that everything works takes less than 15 minutes. The excessive fee (in my opinion) equates to nearly $800 per hour even if the technician is already on site. | |A person should be very aware of service costs prior to initiating services. The pricing structure might be favorable in some instances. But it may also be otherwise.

Randy arrived March 5th to explain and check what we possibly needed to make our home more efficient. A thorough home check and explanation of all possibilities for our particular situation were discussed. Together we decided what was the best for our home and scheduled the installation. From the moment Randy arrived we knew we were dealing with a very professional and knowledgable individual. On a personal note, we really enjoyed Randy. He has a great personality, very knowledgable about the mountain area of our community. We are new to Idaho so Randy's knowledge of the area was a welcome addition. We are sure he spent much more time with us then was necessary to schedule the service. On March 6th the installers promptly arrived and got to work. Dave appeared to be what we would call the and quot;foremanand quot; of these installers. He was extremely knowledgable and had no problems what so ever dealing with our older homes obstacles (50 year old log home). Brian appeared to be Dave's right hand man. Together these two worked so closely we are sure they read each other's minds! They are fantastic alone and together. Chris and Conrad arrived later in the day after they finished their first job of the day. Together these four fellows worked like crazy to insure we had a functionally working system before they left for the day. We anticipated their return the next day due to the amount of work that was needed to complete this project but we were pleasantly surprised that this wasn't the case, they worked late to insure completion that day. Both I and my husband would highly recommend A-1 for anyone needing heating and air conditioning upgrades or solutions. I should also mention Berry in the office who stayed up to date with our project and made sure our concerns were met and kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend this company mainly because of the excellent team members and their complete knowledge.

They are very good. They are inexpensive and timely. They don't add onto a job unnecessarily. They just replace what needs to be replaced. The staff is great. I asked them about propane services and they gave me a couple of recommendations so they were really helpful. I've used them twice.

Service-person looked around like he was going to give a house appraisal. Asked to use our bathroom - BIG NO-NO! on top of that he didn't wash his hands before leaving our bathroom - YUK. The whole thing felt creepy and we just wanted him to leave. Now I have to pay extra for a service and schedule another day to be there when they come? I mentioned this incident to a close friend who related an incident that happened where the service person was using the excuse to use the bathroom to steal medications out of the bathroom cabinet. So, call the company if this happens to you.
Description of Work: Ran the furnace and AC at which time the problem did not re-occur. Told us we may have a carbon monoxide problem and tested the vents, This felt like a scare tactic. Agreed that the furnace need a "service" to get the dust and dirt out but told us we would have to call and schedule that. Just felt like he was not really interested in finding the problem. We did call for a service and they sent out another person who was very professional and did an excellent job. It felt like the company did care that we were taken care of and our problem fixed. Because of that we will use then again and request the same guy that came out the second time.
