Nothing but good things to say about American Family Heating and Cooling - highly recommended. Tim was friendly and professional on the phone, and quoted all charges up front. Nick came out and had a great combination of informal but professional demeanor. And no objection to me looking over his shoulder as he worked!

Had a 6:00 appointment, called the owner Tim at about 6:45 when the tech failed to show. He said he should be there shortly. Received a call from the tech shortly thereafter who said he would arrived in about 15 minutes. Waited another 45 minutes and called the owner Tim. He ended up offering to do it for free a few days later, which I felt was more than fair. The gentleman that came out did a good job. He arrived early. Despite the initial problem, would strongly consider using in the future.

It went great. Tim and company really stood by their work. There were a few tweaks that needed to be done to the HVA system but they came back and made them, no questions asked. I also have little kids and Tim and company have been very patient with my kids, cleaned up well and have simply been a joy to be around. I would highly recommend Tim and American Family.

Nick took his time and determined the problem with our furnace. He was very thorough in his explanation. He performed the furnace cleaning, checked to make sure the furnace was functioning properly and cleaned everything up. The bill was for the exact amount quoted over the phone. The service was professional, friendly, timely and there were no surprises. We were very satisfied.

I emailed this company. He called the next day and we spoke about my concerns. He decided to come out himself instead of sending another technician. He showed up on time and got right to work. He looked at the duct and the screen and attempted to reattach it but it couldn't be done properly because there was no part to hold on to the screen. He said it was too late because the ceiling was already done. I liked that he tried to fix it and didn't charge me because it wasn't able to be fixed. He did clean the furnace. I was impressed that the owner came out himself and attempted to fix the register.
Description of Work: I hadn't had my furnace checked or cleaned in quite a while. One of the screens had come off and the duct tape was hanging out of the duct.

Tim was responsive initially to my initial request. We set up an appointment for 9:00 AM today. Tim blew off the appointment without a courtesy call. He did call about an hour after the scheduled appointment wanting to know if it was all right to come over at that time. I question to him as to why he missed our appointed time and he responded that he had went longer with another customer and that he didn't think it was an issue since I would be home all day. At that point, I told him that I was no longer interested in his services.

Tim and his assistant worked rapidly, but carefully, to remove the old furnace, install the new one, test it and then clean up the furnace area in the basement. In addition they were able to put the furnace-mounted humidifier back in operation. Not only was Tim and his assistant prompt, courteous and professional, they explained everything clearly and exceeded my expectations by installing a new furnace on a Sunday morning!
Description of Work: I awoke at 3:00 AM on Sunday morning to a cold room. I discovered my heat had quite on the coldest day of the year to that point. After checking Angie's List on line and finding American Family Heating and Air Conditioning, and based on their excellent reviews, I called for emergency service. Tim promptly answered and agreed to come. He arrived promptly, diagnosed the problem and quoted the repair cost. Based on the age of the furnace (20 years) and another major part that was starting to go bad resulting in a repair cost of nearly half the cost of a new furnace, I told Tim I would prefer to get a new furnace. Tim said he could install the new furnace that morning (Sunday) and quoted the price which included his trip / diagnosis fee. Tim was able to contact his helper and the supply house person. By 10:30 AM Sunday morning I had a new furnace and heat once again.

I would like to preface my statement by saying this company was recommended to me by my family member who has used this company regularly and has not yet had their AC unit replaced - their unit is 21 years old. I was having problems with my upstairs AC unit not cooling properly and called out to American Family for the first time with a service call thinking that the unit may only need repair (maybe needing freon or a leak as the blower motor seemed to still be working, just no cool air). It turned out to be the compressor. I elected not to replace the units compressor due to the age of the unit itself. The company rep suggested that we also replace the heating unit upstairs due to its age and noting the complications we were having at the end of the winter season (he did check it as well). He stated it would be cheaper to do both than one at a time, but also stated it was completely my choice. Knowing about this company from other relatives they do try to repair and/or resolve your HVAC issues first. However, my AC was beyond a reasonable repair. I asked for a bid without the heating unit and with the AC and heating. The quotes were individually fair and I elected to do the later (with heat and AC). They scheduled immediately with owner Tim. They were able to install the next day, but I elected 2 days later. I only paid for the service call at this point and they accepted my coupon. The service guys arrived timely. It was an extremely hot day (roughly 99 degrees), but the workers stayed all day installing both units until everything was satisfactory. They were pleasant and explained everything in detail. They cleaned up after themselves, taking the old units. There was very little residual left behind and considering they worked so long and it was so hot they were respectful and completed the job as stated. A part was missing during install, but it was immediately resolved as it was brought by someone else from the company, in turn, leaving them to continue working rather than leaving and coming back. I was very pleased overall and will use them again.
Description of Work: Both my air conditioning and heating units were replaced. Instead of just replacing the air conditioning unit for the upstairs that went completely down we decided to also replace the heating unit for the upstairs (as we were starting to have trouble with it at the end of the winter season). Both units were 22 years old

They scheduled the day around my needs and arrived on time and finished the same day. I was very imprssed by the quality and friendliness of their technicians. The price was quite a bit better than a few others that quoted my work. Overall they are hard to beat.

He was very good. I had some company coming from out of town and my air conditioning wasn't working. He came that day to fix it. He knows what he is doing. He gets the job done. He came within 1/2 hour of my phone call because he was in the area. He got my air conditioner going right away. It was really hot that day. He took care of it right away. He could have tried to tell me it was the compressor or something, but he didn't. He was prompt, he did a good job, and he was fair. He installed a furnace and air conditioner at my mother's house as well. He did a good job there too. He was here previously to try and quiet down my air conditioning, but nothing seemed to work too well. He was really good on the installation, but I thought he was a little high on the repair.

Initial estimate was scheduled with no problem, they took the time to answer all the questions I had about the furnace replacement. I received estimated from 6 other HVAC companies and American Family was basically the lowest, but I also felt comfortable with the level of knowledge and experience that was conveyed at the estimate. I scheduled the install and was a bit disappointed that the installers did not show until 10 am or so, but that was not a big problem as I had assumed the job would take all day. The job took longer than expected (past 7pm) and the installer wound up having to replace an entire part of the intake duct work that he did not expect to, but in the end the unit and ductwork looked clean and sturdy and well intalled. The owner called for a follow up appointment and he came in to look at the install and make sure all the settings were correct on the furnace. He answered any questions I had at that time. All in all a good experience with a good company
