I called around to make a few inquiries. I couldn't recommend this place enough if I tried. I got a quote for repair from another company, which misdiagnosed the issue. Ken came out to inspect the unit and found that the motor wasn't bad; it had just seized. He was able to oil it and break it free from last winter's bondage. Even if it only lasted another season, it was well worth a second look from a trained observer like Ken. The cost for repair?... a service call. This is a company that is ethical, which means even though my unit is already at end-of-life, I'll be calling Ken at Air Exchange first when it's time for a whole new system! Thank you, Ken! And at that, thanks to the whole team at Air Exchange Tech! Referrals are coming your way!
Description of Work: Second look at A/C unit quoted for full replacement of fan and capacitor (which was caught by Air Exchange as NOT the issue).

Commication was very vague and hard to get ahold of. After several attempts to schedule a date, we gave up and went with someone else.

Response from Air Exchange Technologies Inc
First off, I have no less than 13 emails of communication between the customer and myself...the customer indicated when he gave us the job that he wanted to wait until late May to have the work done so that he could save up to pay for it. When May approached, he asked if we could move up the install, which I indicated that it may be possible. Since we had him scheduled late in the month, we had to try and squeeze him in earlier, which is not easy when we had almost a dozen jobs ahead of him. He emailed dates that he was off work, which were the 3rd & 4th, 7th-10th, 15th-17th, 21st and 25th of May. If you note, this review was dated the 16th of May, well before many of the dates he had given as ones that would work. We did not have his equipment yet as of the 3rd or 4th, so when it arrived early on the 8th, we promptly called that morning to see if we could start (much earlier than we had planned in the first place). He said he was not ready for us, so we told him to let us know when he was ready. We obviously never heard back from him since he has indicated that he went with someone else. Any perceived lack of communication is as much the customer's fault as anyone, and could have been remedied by picking up the phone and finding out what you're unsure of or have a question about. Flexibility, and just a little patience on the part of the customer is really appreciated, and necessary, as we are easily one of the busiest and most in-demand HVAC company in the area. Especially after expecting installation dates to be moved up with little notice. Nearly all of our customers are great to work with, and appreciate the effort we take to do work on-schedule and in a timely manner. Hopefully they are happy with the work they received from the other company, and that the dealer will take care of them as well as we would have. Best of luck... Ken, AET Inc.

First Ken gave me a competitive quote for a top of the line system (96% efficiency), outdid the other two quotes for lessor systems. I have had Ken work on my system in the past and have only had good experiences. The product was ordered, they came in on Monday AM, they were careful and acted in a friendly and professional manner, by the end of the day they had completed the job, gave me instructions on using the new thermostat, and were gone. The only negatives were they had to turn the gas off a second time to better place the gas piping, and the second time they neglected to relight the gas water heater. I discovered it Tuesday AM, relit the water heater, and let Ken know - if I had not had the knowledge to correct the problem there would have been someone out to do it immediately.

I called for service at 9:15 am. After completing other service call(s) the repairman arrived at our house approximately at noon. He quickly diagnosed that our pressure switch was not working and also noticed that the furnace had an incorrect pressure switch for our altitude (~5000 feet). He replaced the pressure switch and resulting in our furnace working correctly.
Description of Work: Furnace repair. Our furnace had quit working and our home was without heat (other than the fireplace).

When we are answering 20+ repair and bid calls PER DAY, at the peak of the heating season, something may get overlooked or lost. A follow up call is highly recommended if you have not heard back from us within 24 hours. Also a possibility that your number was either given or written down improperly, and we did try with the information we had. Best of luck with your new system...hope you found someone with a reputation as good as ours!

I guess you could say this is an update to my furnace install of last Oct. I should have had AC installed at the same time, but was not sure I would need it. However, I did, so I called and scheduled an installation. Again, like last October, very professional, and did a great job. In my case it was a hard install due to having to remove the furnace to install the coils and then custom design the intake vents to accommodate the humidifier. But they did the job, and all is well. I wanted an A/C unit with the same manufacture as the furnace; Trane. Price was great; especially when compared to my neighbor who had the same size A/C condenser installed in his basically identical house and was charged $900 more and it was a brand that does not even come close to the quality in a Trane (per Consumers Reports and other online reviews).

My water heater went out and I was in need of a new one. Bob from A.E.T. was very responsive, he came out, we decided on the best course of action and they placed an order for a new navient tankless water heater. As soon as it was in they came over and installed it. My fiance and I have been very happy for the last 2 months with our decision and would not hesitate to use A.E.T. in the future. I should mention that they even came in a little under bid which I was obviously very happy about.

Went great. Started on Thurs, finished Fri AM. It was a difficult installation due to the location of the old furnace and water heater. A lot of venting to install and a bypass vent for the humidifier. The furnace required a new exhaust vent and a new intake vent (both ABS...I believe) through the roof, and the water heater was vented over to the old furnace's vent (old water heater was electric, new was gas). Every person I have had contact with in this company was great. From the person who gave me the bid, to the owner who actually came out and worked to the rest of the crew to get the job done and done correctly. And I'll say there is a NOTABLE difference between the old furnace and this new Trane.
Description of Work: Installed a new Trane XV95 furnace, new gas hot water heater, and a new humidifier.

This was a difficult problem for them. The home is older has no duct work or AC at all, all electric resistance heating embedded in ceiling. repair is essentially impossible. The owner is elderly, and has certain exacting standards of work. She is not wealthy and any additional costs are hard for her to bear. As a consequence we negotiated the best price we could, with a ductless system covering the main floor only in the areas which are the principle living areas. Ken was very understanding of the owners situation, worked very diligently with her and was very patient. His crew was very professional and polite. The only hickup was when the crew forgot that the security system was armed and failed to call the owner prior to trying the door. Lets just say that a luncheon meal went uneaten.... Other than that, all was well, she was initially testy with the whole process, change is never easy and it does not get easier with age, in the end she insisted that I express her deep satisfaction, and emphasis that all the work was done professionally and with great patience and understanding and all within her budget. Total cost was on budget $6500 with a compressor and two zones. The compressor can handle several more zones which may or may not be required. She has reported that with the two zones the entire house is now cool and comfortable.

Asked if the other needed replacing as well but they indicated that it did not show signs on needing replaced. The only thing that I had a slight issue with is that I asked for them to. I had recent shoulder surgery and was unable to vacuum and clean the furnace wheel area out. When I checked they did not complete this request but did not charge me for it. I was not home at the time and had someone else let them in to do the work so was unable to remind them on the cleaning. In any case, for the work they did perform I was satisfied. I would have gave them an "A" all around if not for the cleaning out issue.
Description of Work: My electric furnace was heating up and had a burnt smell coming from it. I call them and they came the next day on time. they examined my furnace and found that one of the heating elements was bad and replaced it.

I called to get a bid on replacing my furnace. He actually listened to what I was looking for. I currently have an oil furnace and I wanted bids for a propane furnace. Others that came out wanted me to install heat pump units in different portions of my house which would run be about $11,000 total and AET gave me bids on 3 different furnaces and didn't push the heat pump units, he listened to me when I said I wanted a furnace and recommended one big enough to adequately get heat to all portions of my house. He was professional, courteous, and helpful.

Our A/C stopped working during the hottest time of the summer (constant high 90s). Ken, the owner, cae over late that same day (a Friday) to check our unit. As it needed to cool, he offered to come over the next morning (Saturday) to complete the check. He found it to be inoperable. He then took the time to explain the different kinds of A/C units and, that same day, presented us with an estimate, showing several options, including replacing our old furnace. He, again, took the time to patiently explain the different options. The following Monday, I called him to negotiate the price. He had already lowered the cost in order to make it possible for us to replace the furnace. He went down an additional $100. Busy as he was, he made sure that we had the work done as soon as possible (I am 81, my wife is 72).
