Services we offer
We service and repair all brands of gas furnaces and central air conditioners. We do have a sheetmetal fabrication shop. We can service refrigeration equipment such as walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers and stand alone ice machines.
Service Tech came out, called me at work to tell me a bearing was going out and that the unit was leaking refrigerant He additionally let me know that he was “condemning” the unit, saying that it was too old to work on...and yet, after using such a strong term...didn’t seem to want to have to answer questions. So he basically did nothing. He seemed to be offended when I had specific questions...and when I nicely said “I get the impression that I offended you with my questions” proceeded to tell me how he was frustrated with the tile contractor that was there working as he would not move his vehicle to let him park in the driveway. And then...after telling me that he could not do any work in the system, sent us a $250 invoice. The bottom line is that they wanted only to sell a new system to me. This is disappointing as iI’d used this company to put a brand new system in my own home only two years ago...and had them back to put a new compressor in a few months ago (conveniently only months after the warranty had expired).

Pretty good, except that the service agreement that we had for the unit did not cover the cost of repair because this company was not a recognized provider for our policy. I understand that they plan to have that changed. Our heat pump was running continuously, stuck in the "on" position, we woke up to the house feeling like a sauna. I had to throw the breaker to get it to shut off. The tech noted that we had the fan in the continuously "on" position, he said that may have helped prevent our heat pump from burning up.
Description of Work: Heat pump was running continuously, would not shut off. I had found the likely problem by doing an internet search, and it turned out to be correct. I will pass it along as it appears to be good advice.....: This happens occasionally. The thermostat reaches the desired temperature, the indoor unit shuts off, the air stops blowing, but the outdoor unit keeps on running. In the heating mode (if it's a heat pump) it could eventually shut off on a high pressure safety device. But in the cooling mode, it could run forever unless you turn the breaker off. And this will cause the indoor coil to freeze up into a solid block of ice, eventually the ice will build-up and travel all the way to the outdoor unit. Pitted contactor, stuck contactor So what causes this? Only a few things, the most common of which is a stuck compressor contactor - located in the outdoor unit. The contacts tend to get pitted-up. Eventually they can weld shut. This can cause serious damage to the system. It is good practice to replace the contactor every few years or when pitted - just like spark plugs in a car.

Professional and responsive. Done in a day. Had a problem with the gas while installing the heating system while I was gone, but they fixed it before I even knew there was a problem. The furnace stopped working in December, but a call to the office led to a very quick fix (flipping a switch, which i was able to easily accomplish while on the phone) with a follow-up to evaluate the underlying reason for the shut off of heat. Came out on a Friday night to be sure heat would work okay. It happened again in January and again, Scott was very responsive. In both instances temperatures were in single digits outside. Haven't had a problem since, but I may need to wait for another extreme cold weather front to be absolutely sure the fix is permanent.
Description of Work: New Carrier furnace and a/c installed in September.

Description of Work: They conducted a full service check. A cap needed replaced that leaked most of the coolant out. The coolant was expensive to replace, however, it was the standard price to replace. They worked fast and efficiently.

First, and importantly, my technician was on time! Excellent customer service right there. He was friendly, attentive to what he was doing, and answered every single one of my questions. He checked my carbon monoxide detectors as well and finished everything efficiently and neatly.
Description of Work: I just recently joined Angie's List and figured it was soon going to be time to start using my furnace. Seeing as my house is 70 years old and I just moved in, I wanted someone to check out the whole system before I turned it on. Scott provided excellent service when checking the a/c after closing on the house, and they happened to be running a special on the list for furnace check-ups. Perfect timing!

I'm satisfied with them, they did a good job. Angie's List deal, you get 2 visits one in the spring and one in the fall. They were about half an hour early, which I like. He didn't mess around, he went right to work, cleaned the condenser in the backyard and checked all the sensors and checked everything that needed to be done. He said he'd bill me and I said ok.
Description of Work: Checked everything.

One of the two compressor units would not operate even though the blower would work. The service technicians ere able to locate the problem and correct the wiring problem. The techs then completely serviced both units, completely cleaning the electronic filters and washing out the outside compressor cabinet. They were very clean, wore booties while working inside our home and a pleasure to work with. Scott Temperature was very prompt in responding when called and followed up after the service call to see that all went well. This is the third time we have had them in our home and will continue to use Scott for all of our HVAC needs. Very reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Located and corrected a problem with one of air-conditioning units. Traced the problem to a loose wire in the blower compartment of furnace.
