The company is very good at getting in touch with the client and is always on top of things so that the best service is provided. I would highly recommend SILA over any other local HVAC company in the area. I have tried other HVAC service companies before and by far SILA has them beat, great price, honest estimates, and timely service.
Description of Work: I just recently purchased the heating tune up package for $89.00 at SILA. They sent out Billy to take a look at our furnace. Billy was on time and explained the entire process as he cleaned the furnace and tuned it up so that we can get our heat back on. Not only was Billy very professional, but he was able to explain everything to me over FaceTime as I am currently deployed overseas, this was very helpful and showed the attention to detail SILA provides its customers.

Fabulously!! Billy was very knowledgeable and helpful and thorough. Very honest and didn’t try to sell me anything. Billy was also very punctual, respectful and pleasant. A true delight!! I used this company a few years ago and they were terrific then, too. I’m having them service my son’s home next week and will schedule them for another property shortly. Sila has now become my “go to” company for any heating and A/C issues.
Description of Work: I had the heating system cleaned and tuned up and radiators bled.

We are sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience using Sila Heating & Air Conditioning. We have reviewed our technicians service ticket and his comments stated that due to the age of the system he recommended to replace your system in the near future. He stated that any repairs could not be guaranteed. If you would like to speak further with one of our Sila Associates in customer service please call 202-338-9400. Best Regards, The Sila Team

From start to finish, this was a great experience. Everyone I spoke with from Sila was kind, friendly, and professional. I contacted them both via phone and via the Angie's list messaging on the app. Joel helped me to schedule the service in a timeframe that worked for my family, and was really kind and patient. I had many questions and am unfamiliar with my AC, but he didn't talk down to me at all. Lindsay from Sila reached out to see if the technician, Justin, could come early. When does that ever happen?? I'm used to companies coming late if they bother to show at all. He performed the service with my husband at home and while I was at work. Then Justin was very patient with me when I called to follow up and ask questions that my husband had forgotten to ask. I am so impressed with this company and am thinking of getting their maintenance plan.

It went well, as a matter of fact, it was the A/C service man (the owner) noticed that needed to replace my water tank. If it wasn't for him I don't know what other problem I would have been facing in the long-run.

The technician was punctual, neat, (he wore booties so that he would not track dirt inside from the outside), and he replaced the malfunctioning thermostat and also serviced the furnace as well as the heat pump. He cleaned up his work area and explained what he did and also what the service agreement comprised. It was a professional and satisfying experience. We will definitely continue to use Sila based on today's work.
Description of Work: Our thermostat lost power, and we called Sila based on the good reviews contained in Angie's List. Since the system was never checked, we also wanted the furnace and heat pump looked at.

Purchased deal for tune up. Tech arrived on time and was professional. Found a rusted out heat exchanger so he recommended I not use the furnace and turned off the gas. I have since gotten approval from home warranty company to get it replaced. I would definitely use SILA in the future.

The repair went well but I have grave doubts about their billing practices. I purchased a yearly contract for roughly $70. Its benefits included a reduced cost for a service call : $49 and a 10% reduction for parts etc. When the service person arrived and finished his work he informed me that there was a "diagnosis" charge at $305 per hour. ( In my mind a pretty expensive rate.) No where was I initially informed there was such a charge when I purchased my service contract. I found it strange that this charge was not part of the $49 initial visit charge.. With regard to the parts charge, i received a bill with no indication that the 10% discount was applied. There was no break out of the parts charge showing the original cost and the alleged 10% reduction. I questioned the bill because i was leery that any discount was really applied. It may have been but I had no way of knowing. The whole transaction felt suspicious to me. The saving grace was that the repair person was excellent and did his work in a professional manner. Wish I could say the same for their billing practices. Thanks

I do recall my dealing with them was pretty satisfactory. The guy came over and did take a look at some stuff and did a nice job. So, I happy with their service. I don't believe he charged me any more than the big deal price. It was simple. I think it was $100.

Overall, it was good. The only disappointment was when the technician made a recommendation for a "fix" that contradicted other companies' advice. Furthermore, the "fix" came with a price of over $100, yet was a service usually performed as included with the seasonal service fee by other companies I used.

The tech (Billy) was friendly and knew his stuff, and the repair went quickly. The only issue I have is the price. I was charged $98 for the diagnosis, which took about 5 minutes, $300 for a capacitor replacement which took about 15-20 minutes (part online cost of $10), and $50 for a furnace check. I was happy with Billy. He went out of his way to explain things and squeezed in a furnace check while he was here. But $450 for a $10 part and an hour of labor is excessive.
