Description of Work: A tech came out to clean my furnace (which had not been serviced for several years) and he told me I needed a new furnace. He showed me everything that was wrong with the furnace. We discussed my options and he then set up an appointment for a few days later to have a new furnace installed. When the gentlemen came to install the furnace, they noticed water in the basement due to a clogged pipe, so they called one of their plumbers to come in and fix the problem so the furnace could be installed. The clogged pipe came from the water softener that had exploded, so Pearson's came the next day to install a new water softener! Everyone I dealt with at Pearson's was very friendly and professional. They answered all my questions and everything was done in a timely manner. I was also able to finance the purchase of the water softener and furnace.

I chose not to use them
Description of Work: They advertised free estimate and when I called to get an estimate they said it's free only if you are getting a remodeling done which should be stated it's false advertising.

All as quoted. We've used Pearson before for other work(plumbing). While they may not be the least expensive, they are responsive, timely and professional.

They were here on time, and they weren’t here long. They kept the systems for the winter. The gentleman who came out was just fine and friendly. I have no complaints about them.

I have dealt with this company, regularly for a number of years and, although they are expensive and not always the most friendly, I am not the sort that changes easily and have continued my relationship with them as their service, while not exceptional, was satisfactory. On or about June 24 '09, soon after they had repaired a leeking valve, I scheduled my annual maintenance call for my air conditioner with the abovementioned company. They stated that they could perform the service on the first week of July. On June 24 09, I became concerned that my old air conditioner could be braking down as the unit was becoming extremely, unusually noisy; I was in a quandary whether or not to get a new unit and, therefore, called Pearson Plumbing Co. again. I was put through to the person in charge of air conditioners. She became irritated at my questionings with regard to the brand of air conditioner available; she sounded abrupt and accused me of being "contradictory"; "either I wanted a service call or an estimate for a new air conditioner" she said. By the way, it was one of Pearson Plumbers' technician who had told me the year before, at the annual maintenance service, that I might need a new air conditioner in the near future and I was therefore attuned to that fact. The simplest solution to this situation was to regard my maintenance call as a 'regular' call, send someone over and if they felt I needed a new unit, then one would be installed. However, her response was that I was asking too many questions about the unit available and she was extremely busy. The conversation was ended abrubptly. I called her again to clarify the conversation upon which she said that she had just spoken to her supervisor who had said that Pearson no longer wanted me as a customer. Upon asking her the reason, she replied that it was "proprietary information". In disbelief, I called the director, Gregg who not only did not apologize but confirmed the decision. When I asked the reason, he maintained that I had not been satisfied with their service lately. I replied that: "if that was so, why had I very recently scheduled a maintenace call, used their services for a leaking pipe a few days before and, now, called about a new air conditioner unit??" - Three services within a few days - He had no answer but stood firm on his decision. I then told him that his arrogance and rudeness have confirmed my decision never to seek their sercices again. I feel that I have a duty to expose this abominable behavior on Angies List, a website also designed for this purpose. If I had to rate their attitude to ESTABLISHED customers, it would be a resounding F- Yours truly, A shocked old customer.
Description of Work: I wish to complain about Pearson Heating & Air conditioning, Rockford, Illinois, in the strongest possible terms. The basis of my complaint is rudeness, arrogance and lack of professionalism.

This past January we woke up to a 55 degree house when it was below zero outside. After calling three companies (I wanted to compare prices), only one called back...Pearson Plumbing and Heating. We had used them previously to install a water heater. They called within an hour (I had called around 7:30). I was nervous about having someone install a furnace because previously we ran into a very unreputable heating contractor. They came out that morning, showed us the problem, and had a new furnace installed by 2PM. They removed the old furnace and cleaned up the area. We are very happy with our new furnace and this is our second experience with them. We would definitely contact them if we ran into an air conditioning problem also.
