They never called back. Lack of customer service is unacceptable these days....If they didn't want to do the job, they at least should have called back.
Description of Work: They were supposed to provide me a quote to replace my air conditioning unit. They came out and indicated it needed to be replaced. The repair guy said he would call the next day but never called back. I called and left several messages with the answering service but nobody from Kolar Heating & Cooling ever called back. This led me to scramble and find another company to provide a second opinion which luckily they were able to show up within the hour and replace the next day.

Description of Work: We called Kolar for two things - our A/C compressor iced up and we wanted to rearrange some duct work to get better air movement in two rooms. Jim Kolar and his crew did a great job solving both of our problems. We've been using Kolar Heating and Cooling for over 10 years and have always had great, prompy service.

Jim Kolar came to my house and seemed very polite and punctual. I had a collapsed duct in my slab and wanted to repair it. He seemed interested and capable, but after the initial visit he simply never contacted me again. I reached out to his office twice. The second time I talked with his secretary and she told me that he would call me back, but he never did. Either he has so much business that treating the occasional customer with disrespect is OK, or he wasn't really interested in performing the job I was asking him to do. In either case, in the age of e-mail, voicemail, texting, there is no excuse for not communicating with your customers.
Description of Work: I contacted Jim Kolar to help fix a collapsed ventilation duct under my slab.

When I called to request service in the morning, Vicki said they were booked but she would try to fit me in and call me back. By 3pm or so I hadn't gotten a call back, but shortly Jeff showed up anyway. So not getting a call back and not knowing they were even coming out that day was the only problem with the whole service. Jeff apologized and was very professional. He had the a/c fixed within a half hour and they only charged a $90 trip charge. He said the trip charge includes the first half hour of labor, which is not the case with most of their competitors. The other place I called had a $99 trip charge that did not include any labor, so there was some savings off the bat. They were very professional and I will use them again and would recommend them. They are professional, prices are competitive, and they didn't try to get extra work that I didn't need. You can't really ask for more...
Description of Work: My central a/c went out in 90 degree weather and they fixed it same day

We have used Kolar twice in the last year and they are always prompt, courteous, and very thorough. They get to the root of the problem and fix it without delay. I'd recommend them HIGHLY to anyone in need of quality heating and cooling help!

Very professional, courteous, and clean. Honest HVAC guys that know what they're doing.
Description of Work: I've been using Kolar Heating and Cooling since I purchased my new home in 2007. Jim runs a very professional business that is customer oriented, and they get the job done right in a very short amount of time. My latest issue was an HVAC gas leak that required a new gas regulator -- Jim was on call and he answered the phone two days before Christmas and had someone out to the house the 26th to assess the problem -- the part was ordered and was installed 1 week later. His guys have been out multiple times in the past 2 years to check on issues I thought may have been problematic, and he did not charge me for any consultation fee -- just gave their honest advice and often would let me know that nothing needed to be done, and they were right.

Smoothly. My husband and I are building our dream home and our builder works with Kolar for all his builds. We are the type of people who ask a lot of questions and want several options, and then change our mind at the last minute. We're really nice but also, kind of a pain in the a**. We never had any problems with Jim Kolar or his workers. They were always very accommodating.
Description of Work: Installed HVAC for new construction home. Great people to work with.

I've used Kolar Heating and Cooling for several years to check and tune up our heating and cooling systems twice yearly. They've been prompt and professional and have never tried to sell me anything that wasn't needed. This most recent call was for a repair because the burner on our gas furnace wouldn't kick on and the house was getting cold. I phoned them around 7:30 a.m., and within an hour Mr. Kolar arrived to make repairs. He found that the hot surface ignitor had failed and needed to be replaced. He removed the faulty part, showed it to me, explained how it works and why it needed to be replaced. He installed a new one and immediately the burner was firing. I've always been satisfied with Kolar's services and I highly recommend them.

Misdiagnosed heating problem on first service call and would not make any adjustment on the cost of the second service call. Second technician seemed inexperienced and needed to make multiple phone calls to the office for assistance in the board installation. Second service call took twice as long as quoted. I called the owner to discuss the double billing and an office representative called me back with incomplete information. When I asked that the owner call me directly, he never did.

WE CALLED TO HAVE A QUOTE FOR A WHOLE NEW HVAC SYSTEM. WE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE OWNER WHO DOES THESE QUOTES HIMSELF. PREVIOUSLY, WE HAD USED THIS COMPANY FOR 5 YEARS. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE OWNER NEVER SHOWED FOR HIS APPOINTMENT AND DID NOT CALL EITHER. I CALLED HIS OFFICE TWICE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AS HE WAS NOW SEVERAL HOURS LATE. I THEN CALLED BACK LATER IN THE DAY & THE ASSISTANT ASKED IF I WANTED TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. I LAUGHED & HUNG UP THE PHONE. I DID CALL BACK THE NEXT DAY, TRYING TO GIVE THE OWNER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY NEWS AS TO WHY HE DID NOT KEEP OUR APPOINTMENT. I KNOW EMERGENCIES CAN HAPPEN. AGAIN, THE SAME ASSISTANT SAID THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION & ASKED IF I WANTED TO RESCHEDULE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ANY BUSINESS COULD TREAT A CUSTOMER IN SUCH A MANNER. OBVIOUSLY, THIS COMPANY DOES NOT NEED CUSTOMERS. WE WILL BE PURCHASING A FULL SYSTEM FROM ANOTHER COMPANY.
