It didn't go. I arranged to be home during this 4 hour window where they said a technician would arrive and I confirmed I would be home at that time. Being that I was working from home and was on/off business calls all morning, the technician determined that since I did not answer his phone call that he didn't need to show up and he moved onto the next appointment. When I called the office to inquire about why a technician didn't show up they explained that they do not make a practice of sending technicians to homes unless someone answers the phone whenever the technician attempts to call within a 4 hours window. I expressed my displeasure and was told that a technician could come out in the afternoon, but once again, if I failed to answer his call he would not show up for the appointment. I restated that I would be home and that I would be on/off business calls all afternoon, but they were adamant that even though I stated I would be home they would not send a technician unless I answered his phone call whenever he decided he would get to me. I would never do business with this company as the person I spoke with was very flippant and arrogant about my situation and that it didn't matter if I was home I would be required to answer a phone call that would come at a random time. Clearly they couldn't care less about customer service.

Willie was great. He let us know at each step how our furnace/AC was performing, and gave us tips on how to maintain our air filters to conserve energy/reduce costs. He was very friendly, assuring us that our HVAC system was in great shape for our upcoming condo sale. My only complaint is that $89 seemed a little steep to charge JUST for a ladder to reach our AC system.

Service went really well and I was very impressed with the value for this purchase. They explained what type of system I had and how to handle some of the basic maintenance on my own. We also discussed a cost/benefit analysis of replacing the current system (since its over 40 years old), but still working! I did not feel any pressure to buy something and I will definitely consider them for the purchase of my new system when my current one breaks down.
Description of Work: I just moved into an older condo building and really wanted to know what kind of system I had and how to best maintain it. I purchased the AC check-up.

I bought a deal which included both a furnace inspection and an a/c inspection. All went well, other than when I turned on the a/c a gurgling sound began in drain pipe behind hot water heater. The Freedom Heating person thought it was the hot water heater and had me call the company who installed my hot water heater. I contacted them and $60 later was told that pipe had nothing to do with the hot water heater...that it was a drain pipe. Called back Freedom Heating. They came out and poured some water down the pipe connected to the humidifier, although they said their inspection had nothing to do with the gurgling sound (which was driving me nuts, and only began once they did the servicing). This cost me another $65. So... the heating and a/c inspections went fine.... but it ended up costing me another $125 to get rid of the gurgling sound which began after the service was performed. I don't know what caused this sound... maybe it was an extreme coincidence that it began immediately after their servicing my a/c. I only know that their service ended costing me $125 extra to get rid of the gurgling sound.

I would avoid this company at every turn. Nothing but issues. First, I asked them to call me at a different phone number to confirm the appointment the day of because I couldn't confirm that I'd be able to answer the number I gave them. The agreed but promptly ignored the request. The guy did arrive within their service window (the only good thing they did) but then immediately hit me with an unexpected "ladder fee" to access my unit on the roof. $89 just to take his ladder off the truck?!? What a joke but I didn't have a choice. I asked the guy to bring his ladder in from the back but he ignored me, came in the front, and immediately put a nick in my freshly painted wall. He also put his metal clipboard in my freshly painted windowsill - scratching that too. No sympathy though. No problems with the furnace. A/C has already been working fine during the season but was told I needed a Freon recharge (even though the property was cooling fine) and charged me quite a lot for that. Also said I needed a new compressor. I'm still not convinced that I needed the compressor but I had told the serviceman that I was selling the property and I think he knew that I'd basically need to agree to whatever service he identified. This Angie's List deal ended up costing me a lot and was a huge mistake. If I could do it over, I would've just used AA Service Co - they've always been great and I trust them.

Freedom is a reputable service. They have been 2 or 3 times here for the same job and also furnace tune up. Very professionals, punctual, and friendly. This young tech did not clean the units blades, was not sure at one point which unit he was working on. He checked the return and filter in my unit. In the furnace left a wire lose that stopped the A/C from running. He never check the water reservoir of either A/C. He checked the amount of gas on both units. He never removed the lids to look at the inside of clear the blades. He told us my 1rst floor unit has a problem and did nothing else. My son called another tech on Friday he added 4 lbs. of gas and clean the unit. checked the furnace water container and clear the tube. Checked the thermostat, return and filter. Like other Freedom techs did for me before.

Service call for A/C unit seemed fine, until tech left. House got hotter and hotter even though A/C was seemingly running. Tried contacting tech through office and was told he was on calls and would call me back. No call back, but finally tracked him down after hours using caller ID info and we figured out that he left outside unit unplugged and told me how to fix it myself. Also left things messy.

I apologize if our technician left things messy. This should not happen and we have already enforced to all our employees the importance of completing their task fully, including cleaning up after being done and check if everything was done correctly. Once again sorry you had a bad experience but we're putting all our effort so that doesn't happen again.

At the first house the service person was on time and everything went well. At the second house they did not show up at all that day. They said that there was a minor incident with their truck. Had to go back to that house another day, about 3 weeks later and that person was on time and did a very good job and excellent help with a few things I cannot do anymore. He was quick and professional.

Great! Very attentive and helpful worker. I am very happy I bought this offer via Angie's List, and will use them again for my winter tune-up, and again next year to check my air conditioner! He explained more than my last heater guy, who I never felt was being forthright with me.
Description of Work: Cleaned outside air conditioning unit, and checked inside air conditioner and thermostat. He was real attentive, answering all of my questions and explaining exactly what he was doing, why he was doing what he was doing, and how often I should have the unit serviced, and the filter changed (and when to change the filter.) I bought this off of an Angie's List sale, and also bought a deal for them to come out in the fall to service my heater. I will continue to use them, rather than the guy I had been using.

They installed the new a/c condenser and air handler. They were the most reasonably priced of the three estimates I got. They showed up on time and completed the work in the timeframe they told me for the price they quoted. I noticed a problem a couple of days after the install. I called and they sent someone out right away. They replaced the thermostat and everything has been working fine since then.
