Set up a service plan and they cancelled it due to "hose/access" issues. Meanwhile they service the unit right next to mine with no "access" issues as well as multiple units in my complex. I assume it is a bias against single ***** women? Disabled people? I have no idea. They refuse to answer why they service everyone BUT me. Biased. Possible woman haters, most likely racist.

I have a contract with them and they come and do maintenance twice a year, check things out and make sure it’s operating properly. I’ve been using them for many years. They come in the spring and in the fall. I pay them $15 a month and it gives me 24-hour service if I have a problem, and I have had problems occasionally where the air conditioner quit working and they’re out immediately. You get what you pay for. It’s always been. They’re above board. I’ve had equipment failures that were under warranty. They’ve never charged me for any of that. They put in a whole new air conditioner for me about 7 or 8 years ago. I don’t have any issues at all with them. That’s why I still do my business there.
Description of Work: They did the yearly maintenance on the system.

Everything from start to finish was handled efficiently and professionally by capable diagnostician, sales, and installation staff. The temperatures at the time were in the upper nineties on the ground. I suspect that the attic was 25-30 degrees F warmer.
Description of Work: Total replacement of an old and worn out heat and AC system AND increase in capacity, relative to the units replaced- from three ton to four ton.

Description of Work: They cleaned and checked our air conditioner and heater per our service agreement with them. We pay $15 per month by bank draft and they call us to schedule twice yearly check up/tune up. We have done business with them for decades! Replaced our A/c last year and our heater the year before. They did excellent work. Greg is their best technician, too!

They are wonderful. The guy would come out on a Sunday, if I need him or I call him at night to tell something is wrong & he would come out. Fantastic. The insurance pays for the most of the work. I have recommended them. I could have gone for something cheaper, but they are worth the money.
Description of Work: Buddy's Air Conditioning & Heating repaired my air conditioner unit. They installed the unit as well in the past. They come and clean the duct work. We had some rattling in the attic recently and they came to check to make sure there was no problem with the air conditioner unit.

Description of Work: Excellent company to do business with. I called them out for a repair after 5, and they left with my annual maintenance contract. Excellent, experienced tech, excellent service. i've dealt with companies that made me wonder if they were being honest. i can say without a doubt i paid a good price for the service received. can't say enough good things. Call Buddy's!!

Although I had purchased new units for my house and studio, I was not aware of the fact that most of the air was going into the attic. I also was very unhappy when the cost of preventive maintenance seemed to double from one year to the next. The cost doubled and the amount of preventive service appeared to go from two visits a year to one. When I did not sign up for the preventive service and had a problem with one of my units, I was told that I would not have priority service on my unit and would have to wait until a service person was available which might be a week. I had used their service for over twenty years and purchased two units from Buddy's, and had paid for their service for probably that much time. I did not feel like I was being treated with the respect I should have after being such a good customer for so long. If I had treated my customers that way, I would not expect to have them as repeat customers as well. I have never been contacted by anyone with their organization trying to find out why I am no longer a customer.
Description of Work: I was very happy with Buddy's Heating and Air conditioning until I was made aware of the fact that no attention was directed to the leaking air ducts in my attic.

Everything was done without any difficulties. There were only positive efforts and results and no problems or difficulties!
Description of Work: I had them remove the old furnace and air conditioning unit and install a new furnace and air conditioner. The new furnace and air conditioner ( the old a/c was a 2 ton and the new unit is a 4 ton). Everything was done in one day, the removal of the old units and the installation of the new units. I also had them install two new vents, one in the den and an another in the guest bathroom. The work was done on a well organized manner, every thing old was systemically removed from my home and the yard and everything new was installed without anything left in the form of clutter or debris! Both of the new units were fully operational when the finished the installation and there have been no problems at all. The crew were very knowledgeable of their work, they were nice to my wife and me, they were polite, clean and very respectable towards us! I have used Buddy's AC/Heating for over 20 years and this is the third a/c and furnace which I purchased and had them install. I recommend them to anyone whether its a business, a residence, a school or anyone else needing maintenance work, repairs, or removal of old systems and the installing of new ones.

First of all, we came during the first 15 minutes of the 2 hour window. He worked quickly and effieiently and was done before I knew it.
Description of Work: Buddy's AC/Heating performed a routine maintenance check of the heating unit. They are diligent about regular check ups and keep reminding us until we schedule a visit. We pay a monthly fee and they make themselves available to us 24/7. We did not have to pay an extra fee for this visit. Very professional and friendly. We've used them for 35 years.

Overall, they have been pretty good. We have had a couple of minor issues with them. The work was good particularly when they replaced the units, although one was probably in the borderline 5 years ago and the other over 5 years ago. Thus, we have stayed with them. I have a few little small problems with the people who come out and do the service, and my wife does too. Other than that, they damaged one of our ceilings one time, but they came out and made it good. They had a painter come out and fix it and everything. We would continue to use them.
Description of Work: We have got a contract with Buddy's Air Conditioning & Heating. They are in Port Allen. They have installed a couple of units for us. They come twice a year for the contract service. They last came out in spring to inspect the system.
