Very well. The installers, Joe A, Chris, and John were very polite, immediately responsive to all questions and concerns, and worked continuously and diligently from 9 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. to complete the project in one day. John was also very responsive in solving an electrical problem with our second system while installing the replacement of our primary system. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team as well as Al who was most informative and helpful as we shopped for the replacement system.

American Star has been doing the maintenance on our HVAC system for years. We are very pleased with their service overall. We recently had to change our furnace, they were very competitive, even compared to Costco and factoring in the membership discount/cash back. I highly recommend, they are a pleasure to deal with.
Description of Work: AC was not cooling, called on a Friday night, got a call back from the technician within an hour and he was at our house by 9 am on Saturday to take care of everything.

They replaced a combustion sensor and did some other work. I was disappointed that they wiped out any savings because of the dispatch fee.

ng We have been a completely satisfied customer of American Star for over 10 years. In moving to a new home we immediately had American Star in for a furnace check up. They provide not only professional service, but also advise us honestly on the condition of the heater, water heater and air conditioning and vents and returns. We are completely confident in recommending American Star as a competent, reliable and honest HVAC contractor

These guys are really good. We had to do a complete replacement of the AC unit and blower in a pretty old house. The estimate was reasonable, they made a few suggestions from minor fixes to full replacement. They're probably not the cheapest but we went with them because they seem to really know what they're doing, and they are responsive and professional. We got an appt for an estimate quickly, and we got on their schedule quickly. The guys who did the work were young but very professional. They spent 2 days here (staying late on a Friday night and coming back early to finish, over a holiday weekend nonetheless) to work through a tricky blower replacement in the attic. They were very good about blocking off areas while they worked and cleaning up after themselves. Everything was left clean and new AC is working great. I am always impressed by outfits like this that seem to care about their reputation and their work. These two servicemen were great, very nice, very professional, and two of the hardest working guys we've ever had in our house. I would highly recommend American Star.

Installation was done in February so they had to schedule at a later date to certify the proper operation of the A/C which was done to my satisfaction. This was and continues to be a seamless installation. The new furnace has dropped my gas bill and the house is also much cooler now during the hot summer months. The blower is much quieter during both heating and cooling.
Description of Work: Installed a new high efficiency furnace with humidifier and high efficiency A/C unit, both performed flawlessly since installation, they also did a full house duct cleaning which consisted of a large vacuum unit outside and they cleaned every duct individually.

Work went very well. After initial inspection, they ordered blower parts and arrived on-time to install. I was very pleased by how well the furnace worked after their service.
Description of Work: Annual furnace inspection and cleaning plus installed a new fan/blower. Our furnace is nearly 20 years old, but I do not want to replace it because it is 90% efficiency and generally runs well. They installed a new blower which solved the problem.

On the annual inspection of my furnaces (have two in my home), I was informed that my 25 year old furnace had finally bit the dust. I had just replaced my other furnace last winter, and I had found out that the humidifier had been improperly installed, and so I needed to find another HVAC contractor. I probably had 7 bids for the job, all prices were around the same, with a couple being extremely high. American Star was in line with everyone else. But after having the humidifier on my other furnace installed incorrectly, I really was looking at a company that was around awhile and with a good warranty. They are also Bryant certified which was important to me. They did a good job installing the unit and retrofitting for the higher efficiency furnace. I am happy with the work, the price, and the warranty that comes with it (1 year warranty, 2-10 year extended parts and labor warranty).
Description of Work: Install a 2 two stage 95% Bryant furnace in place of an 80% furnace.

I thought that they were gonna do a little more for the $60. I thought the guy was gonna give me some Freon that was part of it because the deal said tune-up. I kind of thought that it should have been more for that if it was a special that they could have shot some Freon. It turned out that I have to get rid of that air conditioning anyway. I thought the price was misleading. I didn't get what I expected. The guy that came was a young man and the service sometimes is different when they were experienced providers.

I got same day service, within approximately 3 hours of my initial call and on a 95 degree day! The scheduler was lovely and the technician, Marty was professional & quickly determined the a/c coil needed to be replaced. I also used a coupon! Very satisfied with this local company which I would never have used, had I not signed up for Angie's List today.
