Description of Work: I called and left a message after hours for a return call the next day. I received a call back within minutes from Michelle who asked me what was wrong and why did I need service. I explained that my A/C compressor wouldn't turn on. She told me a few things to check and low and behold it was a simple condensation pump that had been unplugged, after plugging it back in and it pumped the water out, the compressor came on and works fine. I dealt with them over the winter with a heating issue and they are amazing then as well. I WILL NEVER CONSIDER ANOTHER COMPANY for HVAC. You guys are amazing and give Michelle a raise her customer service is exceptional. Thank you for being an honest company that does the right thing for your customers.

Came back for an issue that was not even in the scope of their work.I have used them for several homes and will continue to use them whenever I might need hvac services. I have recommended them to others already.

He cleaned and tested the furnace and declared it to be in good shape. After testing the air conditioner, he was sure that the problem was a leak in the copper coil. He explained that the copper tubing in this manufacturer's equipment was thin and susceptible to pin hole corrosion. He said it would be useless to recharge the freon because it would lose pressure within a short period. He suggested that the humidifier be shut down and not used again because of mold buildup that will be distributed through the heating ducts and could be detrimental to anyone living there who has asthma or other breathing difficulties. The provider was very courteous and professional.
Description of Work: The home is owned by my wife's uncle who is currently in a nursing home. It has been unoccupied for a about a year and is being prepared for sale. The provider was called to inspect the HVAC system because of insufficient cooling of the air conditioner and for a water leak in the humidifier.

Called them the day after a holiday weekend and they were able to come out the same day. The technician called before he showed up to let us know what time he would be at our house. He diagnosed the problem immediately and made the repair in a timely manner.
Description of Work: Air Conditioning broke down. Troubleshooting turned out to be bad capacitor.

It turned out very well. I was very happy with their work. They responded quickly, were very professional and the pricing was good.
Description of Work: A number of years ago they put in a new system; they upgraded my furnace and installed a new heat pump. Recently, they did some repair work on my heat pump and got it fixed.

These guys may have saved me from a future major expense in having to replace my compressor, the warranty company had sent a crew to fix my A/C not two hours earlier and they looked so shifty I decided to pay to have Contemporary come out and check on what they did, I based my decision solely on the Angie's list ratings this company had received and couldn't be happier. They found that the warranty companies folks had installed a bad part which would have eventually destroyed my compressor and maybe fan motor. He explained every detail of what they did and why it was wrong as well as what he could do to make the equipment more efficient. I can not speak highly enough of this company, from the very courteous and delightful young lady that answered the phone to the technician that came to the house. Give these folks a try and you won't be sorry. No other company will be touching my A/C or heating units from this point on, whether I have to pay out of pocket or not.
Description of Work: Found bad part installed by previous home warranty company about an hour earlier, cleaned system, checked freon.

Excellent.
Description of Work: Had a split-heat pump installed. From start to finish, the owners were a pleasure to work, very professional. The price was the lowest I found. Easy to talk to and efficient in their work. Discussed alternatives easily and gave useful unsolicited advice. Some of the job was more difficult than anticipated (due to needing to drill a dense concrete wall) but done well with no complaints. I will definitely call them again on any issues related to heating/AC.

Overall a great experience. They are very nice, professional ande personable. I would recommend them highly. This is the 2nd time I needed service this year and each time I was very pleased.
Description of Work: Whenever the outside unit got wet (especially with the recent rain and wind) the unit would short out and blow the breaker. I called Comtemporary Air and they responded immediately. There was a wire that was intalled incorrectly at the factory, and it wore through and was exposed. They replaced this and saved me a bundle. I was thinking I would need to get a new unit but it runs good as new. They also cleaned the unit and tested the coolant levels.

Called on 7/25/11 and explained the problem They wanted to come out that day but I was at work and had to schedule for next day. The tech and I think owner Bill came on time. Was very professional and courteous. He knew what was wrong right away and unclogged the drain. He was very efficient, fast and friendly. He even gave me credit for an on line coupon that I saw on his web site but forgot to print. Would recommend highly and would definately use again.
Description of Work: Having problems with my air conditioner. The condenser drain was clogged water leaking from unit in basement.

Very well.
Description of Work: My A/C was not cooling a few days before some visitors were arriving from overseas. I called up a few companies from the Angie's List. This company charged the lowest to come out to my place and it is free if they fix things. They came on time and wore uniforms, very professional. Within a minute after the technician opened the unit, the bad compressor was diagnosed. They had the new compressor on their truck and it was replaced very quickly. The A/C started to work immediately! The new compressor was $200. I asked them if I needed to add freon as other companies had suggested. They told me that freon is recyclable and usually there is no need to add, which saved me some money. Since I was impressed with their performance, I asked if I could have them service my heat pump once or twice a year. The answer was that one usually does not need to spend extra money - just call them when the A/C or heater stops working and they will come. This saved me even more money. They left me a free refrigerator magnet with their phone number and important kitchen tips on it. They are the best service company I have ever worked with.

It's been working great ever since!
Description of Work: In January our heat pump began to take a much longer time to warm our house. (We turn the heat down at night.) Rick found that a single valve had gone bad. A simple replacement was not possible because the company had redesigned the system. In most cases that would require a whole new heating system, right? In this case, Rick bought another valve and was able to adapt it to our system.

They did a very good job. Their price was the best. The person was very honest. He also takes credit cards which is good. I would tell everybody please call him first if you have a problem with your AC. I rate him the highest. He was very responsive and professional. He was wearing a uniform.
Description of Work: I used Contemporary Air Systems Inc to repair the AC in June. He checked and said that the compressor was broken and that needed to be replaced. Then he asked about the coolant, and I said I had never used it. Then he said that in that case I need to replace anything. I was so happy with them that I asked them to do the annual maintenance for me.

Of all the work I have had done on my house over the last 25 years this was by far the best experience. The system does every thing Rick said it would and more. I highly recommend Contemporary Air Systems and Trane.
Description of Work: Contemporary Air Systems converted our house from a heat pump to a gas furnace. Rick and his crew were on time, used drop cloths and left no mess. This was a pretty big job and they had it done in one day.
