Barrington heating sent out a tech who quoted me $1,300 to add freon to my AC unit. This is absolutely out of line! I subsequently hired another company who charged less than $200 to do this work. I called the company and they refused to refund the $95 trip charge I paid. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

I called them to fix the problem with my air conditioning. They were at my house for well over an hour and couldn't figure it out. They told me to try stuffing some insulation around a pipe in the ceiling and left. $167 REALLY? I called out another company and they had it fixed in 2 hours.

I have been ripped off, so it went poorly.
Description of Work: They added 2 pounds of freon- and "cleaned the unit outside, cause it was dirty" I can deal with you charging $110.00 per pound of freon(although you can get much cheaper elsewhere) but when you nickel and dime me for an additional $200.00. that's when I feel completely ripped off!!

Response from Barrington Heating & Air Conditioning Co Inc
While servicing we noted that that they tend to neglect the proper servicing of the equipment. We were shown a service ticket from last year indicating that they needed more refrigerant (5#) last year. That invoice stated that the equipment needed proper servicing. This servicing/maintenance was obviously not done. After seeing the previous invoice & needing to charge the system again, we Told Mrs [removed member name] our leak detecting tool had failed the day before, and we could return to search for the leak and recommend proper repairs a few days later (No charge for the leak search) Our service to the customer is to honestly make the immediate repair, but also inform home owners of needed repairs and possible improvements to their equipment. In this instance, they have a refrigerant leak in the system. If it is not repaired, someone will need to return next year and charge them again. We also made other notes and recommendations to Mrs. [removed member name] concerning the furnaces and humidifiers. We are willing to speak to the customer and better inform him of the situation, if he would desire. Also there was 5 lbs.of refrigerant injected in 2014, and we installed 3 lbs. this year, not 2 lbs.

They were just fine. It's a small company so I was able to work directly with the owner who also installed the system. That was the up side. The down side was that he's an older gentleman. He's not really technologically savvy. He'd had a hard time with invoicing and emailing receipts, etc. It had its ups and downs, I suppose, but overall I was very satisfied. I got a couple of different quotes and he was basically the same as everybody else. They did an excellent job. He was always immediately responsive, which was good.
Description of Work: I used Barrington Heating & Air Conditioning. They replaced my furnace, air conditioner, and water heater.

They arrived on time. Their professionalism is superb. I like that they take time to explain what they are doing and what they are finding. They also helped by explaining the age of the unit, it's condition and what to expect as far as remaining useful life on it. I have used BH/AC before and have always been fully satisfied. They also recently replaced a water heater at our home. This involved a Sears heater that was still under warranty. After getting certirfication from Sears that a new water heater was approved. Greg went and picked the unit up at a nearby Sears and brought it to the house installation. I get the sense they are always working to keep your business. They, Greg and his son, work conscientiously and quiuckly. I would recommend them to anyome with HVAC or plumbing needs.
Description of Work: The performed a 12 point service check up on our A/C unit. As part of the service they found a faulty capacitor and replaced the unit's filter. They also gathered additional data for the Commonwealth Edison energy program.

Had an appointment to service my air condtioner today and when the technician showed up he said I would have to pay an extra service fee because he was "busy". Really???? I didn't realize people are still trying to get away with bait and switch. Last time I checked, that's illegal. Unfortunately still no air conditioning at my house because I refuse to pay an extra $100.

The person who came out acted like he knew everything abut my furnace, but gave me a totally wrong estimate which I had questioned him on. It was totally wrong. He did admit later that he had gotten it wrong.
Description of Work: I contacted Barrington Heating & Air Conditioning to get a quote to repair my furnace and do some duct work.
