Called Monthie out in July 2015 to repair an AC unit not cooling. Found pinhole leak in discharge line off outside compressor, repaired with some solder, recharged and was on their way. Called back in February 2016 with no heat. Same issue, pinhole leak in same spot as previously repaired. Service tech said last tech did crappy solder job. Cut me a slight discount on the R410a but still cost me another $700. Called back June 22, 2016 for same issue - no AC. Sprayed the twice repaired area myself and saw bubbles. Said they wouldn't be able to come out until a week later to fix it (meanwhile 90F weather). 2 weeks past their labor warranty meant they weren't going to help with the cost... nor keep me as a customer. Found another provider who fixed the issue that same day, thankfully, as I had to leave town the following day for a week.

Called technician for problem with gas heater. Technician came out Saturday January 2nd, charged three times what a filter costs and a diagnostics fee for which he did not provide any sort of estimate for any fixes. Noted some issues, altered our gas pressure but did not write what he changed it to/from. Thats fine, overhead costs are a reality of business and perhaps I would have eventually received an estimate. What happened after is the problem. After altering the gas pressure of the unit a strong gas smell began emanating from the exhaust on the front of the house. Columbia Gas came out, got strong gas readings and red tagged the unit. The next day, Sunday January 3rd) I had Monthie out to see what they had done that caused the gas problem. The technician noted a few specific issues and one main issue. He returned the gas pressure to the original amount and says he will get me a bid. That night we get a gas smell again, this time in the house. Columbia gas comes out, red tagged again. We've never had any of our gas detectors go off or had gas problems in the house before Monthie. Monday comes around, still no estimate, so I call. I don't get the estimate until the end of the day. I get an overpriced estimate for the work. Frustrated with Monthie, I consult with three other companies. None agree with Monthie's assessment. The first company to come to my home notices a blatant and obvious issue with the unit as well as a few other problems. Some of these problems Monthie's technician told me were not an issue. Each of the companies agreed - without my telling them of any of the details from any of the other visits - on the problems, and disagree with Monthie's estimate. Monthie Mechanical has proven themselves to be negligent in their work. Update: Problem was fixed for around $150 with a new thermostat and connecting a drainage tube the Monthie technician left disconnected. No need for a $600 estimate to fix something that was not the issue.
Description of Work: Came out to check why the heater was heating at about 4 degrees less than what the thermostat was set at.

Response from Monthie Mechanical Inc
After having researched and reviewed this complaint, I offer the following. We regret this client is unhappy with our service. I agree that while our technician resolved what he determined to be the immediate problem he missed others. Certainly the lack of combustion air which was never hooked up by original installer would explain the discoloration he found on the heat exchanger. I will be refunding this client their entire bill with my apologies. We try hard to do the next right thing and although we make mistakes we will always set them right. I would still consider getting the combustion air problem fixed, running the furnace in a closed room will damage the furnace.

Submitted the work request on Saturday (10-3) morning after smoke started coming out of my unit. That evening I was contacted by Brad saying he had a spot open on Sunday (10-4) and he could be there at 9:30 am. He showed up at 9:25 and got straight to work. He was polite and courteous and downright professional. He did stress that the unit was aged and that it will need to be replaced probably sooner than later, but I didn't feel any pressure to sign up for a whole new unit. When we told him that we just wanted to replace the fan and capacitor he didn't argue or make any looks that would suggest we were making a horrible decision or one that he really felt strongly against. He even sported a good sense of humor, wasn't really expecting that. From this work order I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Monthie again. **10-21-15 Update** Had to bring them back out as the compressor fan started acting funny and not spinning up properly. Turns out the compress was locking out the fan to protect the fan motor from damage. This was due to the fact that the compressor was 4 to 4.5 lbs low on refrigerant. When the second tech looked at the report from the 1st tech he noticed that he hadn't checked the pressure on the system and the compressor was reading about 1.5 to 2 amps to high which is indicative of two things 1) compressor is getting close to end of life, or 2) the refrigerant is low. Guess which the 1st tech didn't check. Which basically means the 500 some odd dollars I spent to replace the fan motor and capacitors was probably a total waste. I do not know if I can do business with them again. I will give them the opportunity to give me a good deal on a replacement system over this. I will update after I get the estimate and how response to the situation Monthie is/will be. Had the 1st tech checked saw that the refrigerant was that low we probably just tossed the system, but now I'm down nearly 600 between the two calls. Needless to say I am less than thrilled right now. I will not change my previous rating until I get back the estimate and how willing HQ is willing to work with me after their tech missed an obvious part of the system to check.

From the time Joe, Monthie's sales person enter our home they impressed us with there professionalism. The first thing Joe did was to put covers over his shoes to protect the carpet. Joe showed us all our our options including all the rebates that were available for choosing high efficiency equipment. After getting estimates from other companies we called Joe back mainly because he told us that there was a $600 rebate being offered on their Carrier Infinity gas furnace, that no other company told us of. After talking to Joe It only took 3 or 4 days for Monthie to start installing the equipment. We contacted the gas company and got their advice as where to place the gas inlet pipe. Installation of the gas line, furnace exhaust and fresh air pipes were not easy because we have a finished basement. But the Monthie workers got it all done in about 4 days. After the install was complete Joe sat down with us and explained how to claim all the rebates that were offered, and even provided all the forms for us to file and copies of proof of purchase for each rebate. Which totaled $1500.00 in all. Joe also gave us an owner's manual and explained the warranties. All in all we were very satisfied with our experience dealing with Monthie Mechanical.
Description of Work: Replaced our non-working heat pump system with a Carrier hi-efficiency AC and natural gas furnace.

A technician came to the house as soon as we called about our current system not working. The air handler in the attic was 31 years old so he recommended we replace it. Erica came to the house the next day and gave us an estimate. She was very professional and gave us three options. She was not the least bit high pressure. We signed a detailed contract and set up a date for the work to be done. The installers arrived to the job site at the appointed date & time. They did exactly what was stated in the contract. They put down runners to protect the carpets. They got the job done in one day as they promised. They cleaned up after themselves and hauled away the old equipment. The new system is doing a great job. The price seemed a little high but I got an estimate from another company and Monthie was actually less expensive. So I think price was fair. Over all I am very pleased with my experience with Monthie Mechanical.
Description of Work: Changed out old heat pump and air handler that was in my attic. Installed a new thermostat and also added a new return and a partial walkway to the unit to make it easier for us to access in order to change the filter.

Excellent customer service engineer, delivered on quoted services, installation crew was efficient. One follow-up visit was required and performed almost immediately after the phone call was made. Overall, very good company to work with. After a year and a half, system works great and has lowered my heating and a/c costs.

We've used them for years. We have a service plan and our service plan is $600 but we have three units. It's extremely thorough. We call them once a year to go to two houses to go for emergencies and they came out and they did a very good job so we've just been with them ever since because they provided a good service and we liked the way they've done business with us. I give them an A for just everything because they've always been on time, given good service, the people have been courteous and thorough so there's not really anything on the categories that I would give them anything less than an A. I'll have spring checkup in a month or so.

The replacement went very well, they were prompt in reviewing my needs and did an excellent job at helping me to decide on a new unit that worked based on my home size and other factors that were important to me. I did not have nay issues during the replacement and have not experienced any issues with the unit. Monthie services my remaining old unit and my new one twice each year. The service tech is usually very punctual and does a great job keeping my old unit running .

Monthie Mechanical did an exceptional job in every aspect of this project. Estimate was prompt and descriptive. Price was comparable to other estimates but services were more extensive. Installers were perfectionists. Great follow-up also. The entire job was neat and professional. I have used several local HVAC companies and this has been by far my best experience.

Description of Work: Our furnace stopped lighting sometime overnight, we woke up to a cold house. Our regular furnace company was backed up and unable to come out for at least 24 hours. Based on Angie's list we decided to try Monthie Mechanical. They were able to get a technician to our house in about 3 hours. He troubleshot the problem ( a burned out ignitor ) quickly, explained the problem and the fix, and fixed it quite quickly. While the covers were off the furnace he gave the system a quick checkover and pronounced it sound.

He lied and said he talked to Carrier when he didn't. His service was overpriced. Paid for service call, knew it wasn't right. Found out that particular model of evaporator coil we had was failing frequently. Called back, it was more than you just did. The servcie contract expired 30 days before they came back out. The repair should have been covered by the labor contract. They called back after talking to Carrier. It was going to const $600 to repair. I asked for a case # and contact at Carrier and they couldn't provide either. He is not honest.

This Carrier system was installed 6/30/08 with a 5 year labor warranty and a 10 year parts warranty. We were contacted on 8/26/13 regarding a problem with the system. Nearly 2 months past the expired labor warranty date. We found the system to be low on refrigerant, charged the system with 2.39 lbs of refrigerant and recommended a leak test. We returned on 8/28/13 to perform the leak test at a discounted price. The leak was located in the evaporator coil. On 8/29/13 we contacted the homeowner after consultation with our Carrier Tech Rep, with a repair price that included a new evaporator coil under their parts warranty and a labor plus materials price of $499.33 to make the repair. At no time from the date of installation to the date of failure did the homeowner contact us for maintenance on this system which may have caught the failure prior to the labor warranty expiration date. The homeowner declined the repair stating that he was going to join a class action lawsuit against Carrier regarding the problem of formicary corrosion of evaporator coils This issue affects all brands of equipment not just Carrier. Carrier has however; been a leader in the research of this condition and has in fact published a paper regarding the issue (http://aplusair.ca/files/2013/10/Carrier-Evaporator-Coil-Formicary-Corrosion-Report.pdf). Our office has been in constant contact with Carrier Tech Reps regarding this issue, this homeowner’s case was discussed with our Tech Rep by our service department and our quote for repairs was made accordingly. Carrier does not issue a case number to us as a dealer, however; they may do so if a homeowner contacts Carrier directly. This entire episode only reinforces the importance of routine maintenance on your HVAC system. You would not drive your automobile 5 years without performing routine maintenance. Why would you do this to the most expensive appliance in your home?

I had 5 different compaies quote my new heat pump system to replace the old system with 3 locked compressors. This company did a fantastic job in regards to details. The measured every room, windows, ari ducts and verfied I needed a 3 ton unit to replace the old 3.5 ton unit. Not the 4 ton most other companies wanted to do. This alone would save me money. I would of used this company but one of my other quotes provided a better labor warranty. I'd go back to these company. thye did a great presentation and their homework for my heat pump ssytem.
