Description of Work: They told me I needed a new condenser because I have dogs and they had peed and the condenser was leaking. I had the system checked by another companies provider and they said that it was fine, it a 22°F differential which was fine as far as they where concerned.

Response from RC's Plumbing Heating And Air Conditioning
I sincerely apologize to the customer that the information about his air conditioning unit was not conveyed in a manner that could be completely understood. I was trying to give the customer information so he could make an informed decision on whether he wished to replace or repair his unit. The heating system was operating within the manufacturer's specifications. I observed during the air conditioner inspection that the condenser fan motor and compressor were operating within the manufacturer's specs but when I attached my refrigerant gauges the pressures were not within spec's. I spoke with the customer and advised him that his dogs were male and volunteered they had probably urinated on the outside condenser. I explained that dog urine is extremely corrosive and can affect the operation and efficency of the a/c system. I also explained that the evaporator coil is copper and with 410A refrigerant there can be formicary acid corrosion leading to leaks and eventually system failure. Manufacturer's are now using aluminum coils to eliminate formicary acid corrosion. I offered to have our comfort specialist meet and discuss replacement at no charge to the customer. I also gave the customer an estimate for locating the leaks and repair. My experience of over twenty years and training has led me to give our customer's options. I was only trying to explain the probable existing issue on his air conditioning system. I believe an informed customer that knows potential problems is a satisfied customer. Again, I apologize for any miscommuication. RC's strives to give the best possible service and information to it's customers. RC's Hvac technician

The repairman was very thorough, took about an hour, to find the problem. Tested everything. Told me that my Angie's List HVAC check purchase would cover his work. He contacted the main office to have them set up a schedule with the sales person. Sales person came out first thing the next day. He was very open and honest about the different types of air conditioners and which have fewer repairs and better service agreements than others. Purchased an air conditioner. He called the office to have the air conditioner installed the next day. I called the office to pay for the air conditioner. They subtracted the Angie's List HVAC check purchase from the air conditioner purchase plus gave me a discount because I went through Angie's List. Installers arrived late because their first job took longer than expected. But they called me to let me know. When the arrived they worked efficiently and quietly and minimized walking back and forth to the thermostat. They were very friendly. When done they took away the old air conditioner.
Description of Work: Had hired through Angie's List special offer to do a HVAC check. My air conditioning went out before the check. A repairman came out and examined my air conditioning system. Spent an hour or so. Found out condenser was frozen and said I would need new air condiitoner. Set up appt with sales rep the next day and the air conditioner was installed the next day.

First, the company didn't contact me for 10 days after I requested the HVAC inspection, then they asked to come the same day. The service technician didn't like being scheduled so late in the day (he said), and he definitely cut a few corners. He didn't do the full inspection because there was a lattice "fence" around the outside unit (my regular a/c serviceman does it, though). He told me I needed a new unit (not true). He lied about some of the things he said he did (I had another inspection 5 days later, which is how I know). He charged me $65/pound for refrigerant, plus labor (my normal serviceman charges $25/pound and that includes labor). He admitted that he didn't do three of the things on the inspection list, one of which was to wash the coil (although he criticized me for not having the coil washed regularly); he did claim to have checked the compressor amps and the condenser fan amps, but when I had it reinspected the service technician said that the door to do those checks was painted shut (he broke it open). In short, this $50 special ended up costing me a total of $637 (including the cost of a new inspection that was thorough), although there was nothing seriously wrong with the unit.
Description of Work: DO NOT TAKE THIS "SPECIAL!" I paid $50 for an HVAC inspection through Angie's list, and it's a scam. He put refrigerant in my a/c, charged me about 3 times what it was worth, and didn't do the full inspection.

Response from RC's Plumbing Heating And Air Conditioning
We apologized for the lateness in response to customer's purchase. The service person that handles the angie's list and scheduling fell, broke her wrist and had to have surgery. It took us a few days to get things in order and as soon as it was discovered that we had not responded we tried to schedule the inspection immediately at the convenience of the customer. Most of our customers were very understanding of the extenuating circumstances. Our technician's service records show that the ac inspection was completed after repairs were approved by the customer. We are sorry that the customer is unhappy with the cost of repairs. No repairs were/are done until the full charges are given, approved and signed off on by the customer. If not approved, other arrangements for repairs can be made and RC's given a call. We would have re-scheduled and completed the inspection when the unit was operational. The 25 point inspection is inspecting and taking readings of the operation of the unit. The inspection does not include any services or maintenance to the equipment. We strive to give the very best service we can to all our customers.

There was a communication problem early on. Their Service Manager was off, so there was a delay in scheduling an appointment. However, they responded promptly and professionally once the problem was brought to their attention. Their office staff was very helpful. The technician was prompt and friendly. He showed me the significant problem which was a very dirty condenser and gave me some helpful advice. They were not "pushy" and trying to sell me something. My impression of this company was positive and I would use them again.

It turned out very well. It only took them an hour to do, and they found that all of our vents were closed which lead to the A/C seizing up.

Great experience. I really like this company -- and highly recommend them!
Description of Work: RC's Plumbing and Heating replaced a failed sump pump. Sump pump catastrophically failed early evening. Fortunately, urgent -- but not a crisis because I have a backup sump pump. Called RC's Plumbing -- left message with their answering service requesting service call the next day. RC's called me promptly first thing in the morning -- and responded by mid-morning. Plumber was very professional -- diagnosed and replaced sump pump in less than 1 hour. Replaced with a better sump pump -- 5 year warranty -- and much less noise. Have used RC's Plumbing since moving into my house for 3 repairs -- Always prompt, professional, and reasonably priced.

Very professional, on time, and high-quality work.
Description of Work: We have used RC's on numerous occasions over the years, for simple plumbing problems to replacement of water heater, air conditioner, and furnace. Last year we had to have house jacked up, old basement torn out, new basement floor and walls built, and house resettled on new foundation and walls. In so doing, we had to have all plumbing and heating removed from basement, and then replaced after new basement was built. RC's did it all, and were outstanding in their quality, timeliness, and price. We recommend them to all our friends. Plumbing, heating, air conditioning, new equipment - RC's are professionals, always care about your satisfaction, and won't overcharge.

Rc’s did a great job! They first provided us with an estimate that included several options. They then removed the old unit, hauled it away, and installed the new system. I really liked how well they cleaned up after themselves. Their technician took the time to explain the new unit thoroughly and how it operates. Overall, we experienced no negative issues with this company.

It was as good an experience as could be expected considering the scope and length of the work. They gave us a discount because of our long and previous relationship and purchase of various equipment from them in the past. That was greatly appreciated.
Description of Work: This was a complex and extensive job, entailing the removal of the outside air conditioner, the inside furnace, hot water heater, water softener, and the pressure tank, plus most of the piping and the air ducts in order to allow the house to be stabilized and new basement walls and floor to be installed. They also re-installed all the equipment except the water softener (it was bought and installed at another location) and installed new air ducting. While there was some mis-understanding of the scope of the work (partially our fault) the work was performed in a very professional manner, in a timely manner, and the removed material was hauled away. We have had good experiences with RC's in the past, and will almost assuredly continue to use them in the future as needs arise.
