Freedom Heating & Cooling came out to provide an estimate to replace an old furnace and AC unit. I never received the estimate. They did call a week later to try and sell their AC tune up service. I told them I wasn't interested in the tune up and then let them know I never received my quote. They put me on the phone with another person and I was told I'd get the quote soon. Never got it. I took time off of work to be there for the estimate.

Sarge was great. Cleaned the filters and helped me know how to maintain on my own, and on what schedule. Very thoroughly cleaned the aging outside A/C unit, and let me know what to expect with its upcoming inevitable demise. Thanks!

I had an appointment set up and specifically discussed the timing of the appointment and calls regarding my work schedule when placing the appointment. They said it would not be a problem. However, they did not call within the discussed time frame and canceled the appointment without leaving any voicemails or notifications. I found out by calling them after they did not show at the specified time and was told I was marked as unavailable and the appointment cancelled for the day.

Response from Freedom Heating & Cooling
Hello there, with regards to your appointment, on that day we had tried over and over again to reach you. You see, when we send technicians out to you, we need to confirm that you will be at the property once we start heading them over to you. Us here in the office got notice that when the technician was trying to call you, he could not get a response. When we make the appointments we always make it clear that we do call ahead of time and that there must be an answer to that phone call in order for us to dispatch our technician to you, without an answer, we cannot send a technician anyone out to you. On that day, we tried and received no answer, so we kept the technician moving to other appointments and tried to contact you after each one and to no avail. We had left messages, and called many times to make sure that we wouldn't miss you, yet we had received no answer to our attempts to contact you whatsoever until you had called at 3:05pm asking if anyone is going to show up. After many , and I mean so many attempts, we had to have our technician move on with his day to other appointments. We would have kept your appointment for that day but you did get upset and told us to cancel the appointment. In all honesty , we made every attempt, not just once or twice , but many many many times and we had received no answers to our calls. Many times, some may not answer because they do not recognize the phone # right away, and we understand that so we do leave voicemails for that reason and that is also why we tell everyone that we will be calling while our tech is on the way so it's important to answer that phone call, because without an answer we cannot send anyone by. It's a rule we need to abide by, due to the fact that technicians are expensive to keep employed, and we can not blindly send someone over without confirming that the customer is home, because many times - we had not found them to be home, even though we made the appointment at certain time windows. We do apologize for any miss-understanding,

Called company to setup a service call and was given an estimated time and the cost of the service call was explained right up front. Later the technician called with an updated ETA. He arrived on time and was very polite and professional. He assessed the error and the possible causes and checked them all. I really appreciated that he took the time to explain everything as he went through the diagnostic. I felt he went above and beyond and never felt he was rushing to finish. He found two items that were causing the problem, and rectified them. Thankfully no parts were damaged. Great customer service and I learned a lot about my furnace too. Thanks Willie.

I was charged $180 for 15 minutes required to service my HVAC. I had no choice due to the sale of my home, and the service was performed as requested. However with more time I would have found another service provider with reasonable pricing.

As it was quoted to you from the origination of the phone call you made to us on 11/13/2018 , the charges would be at minimum $178.00 for the inspection of your units for the sale of your house. We do want to mention that you were in a rush and you needed someone the next day which we did accommodate for you being that you were in a time crunch for your final inspection. Our GPS locating service (which is attached to every technician) read that he was there from 8:37am to 9:15am, which is much longer than 15 minutes. The charges goes as follows $69.00 for the service charge, and a minimum 1 hour labor charge of $109.00 per the hour so we made you well aware of the charges before you had us come out and even though we went over 1 hour for your inspection, we did not charge you on the extra time we were there (which most companies would do). We encourage everyone to shop around for prices before having someone out, if you had done just that, you would have noticed that ours would be at least on the top 3 of competitiveness with others. Lets face it, no one wants to spend money on these things, yet you needed this service in order to pass inspection so you could sell your house without waiting on another company to come out , since it was cold at the time and most service providers were backed up for weeks. Many companies will tack on an additional charge for coming in earlier that is convenient for them, but we did not do that to you because it would have driven your cost to almost double that amount. We really appreciate your input on this review, it allows us to explain to anyone that will read it what differences that sets us apart from the others. Our advice to you is that next time, if you know you will be selling your property, call well in advance so that you can shop for pricing that will work to your liking so that you can see especially from our point of view what it would have normally costed you to do exactly what you have needed. We wish you a wonderful Holiday season.

Hi there! At times, the reason why some cleanings take longer than others, is because depending on what the situation is for the time they're there. If the unit is in pretty good shape for the time, it takes less time to do a cleaning & tune-up, if it has a bit more buildup it can take a bit longer. It really depends on the conditions of the time the tech is there. We do appreciate your continued business with us and hope you are having a wonderful Holiday Season..

WOW. Great heating and air conditioning company. I've some of the other big names (4 Seasons, etc) in the past, but Freedom doesn't even compare. They really spend the time with you to answer all your questions and do a thorough check of my system. While I did have a 14 year old A/C system, the technician never tried to sell me in upgrading my system.. He just explained it was an older system using older freon but at the time (14 years ago) the bryant system was one of the best on the market. He explained why over the last 14 years Lennox is starting to outperform Bryant, etc. He explained his company sells whatever manufacturer but that their company keeps track of brand maintenance issues, etc over the years. The technician was patient, friendly, professional, and very informative about heating and A/C. I will definitely use Freedom again. They spent over 60-90 minutes reviewing everything on my system and even gave me ideas on how to minimize airflow and thus cool the house faster. GREAT! Thank you Freedom Heating and Cooling. BTW - great pricing. n

We do apologize if we left you feeling that our service was average. Yet one thing you wrote is that you felt that we were "trying to sell you services that other providers did not". In these cases, we would not attempt to let you know of services needed that would not be necessary, if our technician had let you know that other services were needed, it is because he felt that they were actually needed. Many times we hear of clientele worried about the "upsel", which is really not what we are trying to do, our intention is to keep you as a long term customer for when you need us in case your systems go down. Also, just because other providers did not notify you of any issues, doesn't necessarily mean you may not need them, just something to keep in mind for the next company you try. We thank you so much for the review, and hope you are having a wonderful Holiday season.
