I was concerned that our AC system was not functioning and called for service first thing in the morning. The person answering the phone asked questions which resulted in an appointment for that afternoon. The service person arrived on time and proceeded to check the system. I was informed of the issues discovered (low Freon and a broken switch). I was told the price for the necessary service and as soon as I OK'd the service the work was undertaken. The repairs were done efficently and in keeping with the prices quoted. The area in which the work was undertaken was cleaned when the work was completed.
Description of Work: Air conditioner did not seem to cool the house. The repair person checked the system and added Freon. Then checked the heating system as requested.

I have no complaints. The crew was very knowledgable, careful and respectful of the house and of my questions. They worked steadily for seven hours. I would highly recommend them. In the first meeting, the representative, (Fritz) pointed out code violations and problems associated with the upgrade that two other companies failed to notice or address in their estimates. We need a company who provides us with an expert who knows about these things. Davis and Davis clearly does provide the level of expertise that is needed. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Removed the old gas furnace and installed proper venting and a new furnace. Also installed a new cold air return to improve air flow in a problem area.

They were timely and straightforward. They did a good job in figuring out what the problem was and fixing it quickly. They didn't act like I needed a whole new system. They quickly figured out what the problem was and fixed it and that was what I was looking for.
Description of Work: Our air conditioner was not working and Davis & Davis Air Conditioning & Heating came out to look at it and repair it. They found out that a simple series had been blown.

They are very professional. They come within the day, and even though they are probably a little more expensive than others it is worth it since the workmanship is so great. They do the job right, they do it quickly, and you couldn't ask for anything better.

My experience with them was great! Throughout, they were very professional, showed up when they said they would, and kept to their price estimate.
Description of Work: The ground floor of my home was generally 5 degrees or more cooler than the upper floor. I asked them if there was anything they could do about it. They looked over my HVAC system and venting, gave me an estimate, and then returned on another day to do the job. They put in uptake vents and pipes throughout the ground floor, and now the heating and cooling is almost identical on the two floors. It's much more comfortable, and my heating bills are lower because I'm not having to crank up the heat to get the ground floor to a reasonable temperature.

Description of Work: Very responsive firm even though Maryland was having a record-breaking heat wave and they were swamped. Arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, ordered parts and then came back for the final repair. Coil and condenser replacement and LOTS of R22 Freon. $$$ Not cheap, but done right and I have no doubt that they stand behind their work.

They are just awesome. Fritz is the person there that I always work with and he is awesome. He is extremely knowledgeable. He has been doing this work for long and knows exactly things like what kind of compressor needs to go with what kind of air handler and all that for the size of the house. He just knows what he is doing. They are here when they say they are going to come. They are professional.

I am satisfied that they are committed to resolving this matter in a way that is satisfactory to us.
Description of Work: Two technicians came on Friday and determined that a re-set switch on our inoperative AC had been tripped. I'm not sure if it was defective but in any case the AC is back up and running now. There were some other problems that needed to be dealt with and two technicians came on Saturday to follow-up. They found a leak in another unit (we have 3) and they worked on that one to get it back up to standard.

I am very happy with them. They come twice every year in the summer and winter. I have a maintenance contract with them. If I have any problems, they come too but I haven’t had a problem. They call me to schedule the appointment. I don’t have to call them. They are very reliable all the time. They call in the morning and make sure I am there, and let me know when they are on their way. I am very happy with that. They tell me if I need something else done. I have never had any problems. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future.

Noticed quite a bit of water coming out of a hose conencting heat pump and air conditioner in basement. Called Davis & Davis about 4:30 p.m. Rather unfriendly young lady took a message and did not ask for our addess. A gentleman called a little after 9 p.m. He asked me several times whether the water was coming out of different types of houses and in the end I had to reply that I do not know what the hoses are for the heat pump and air conditioner and I was hoping someone would come out and see. He said they could come the next day and I said I would be there. He verified our address in Montgomery Village and said someone would call about 8 in the morning for a service window. At 6:30 a.m. the next morning we were awakened by someone calling to say we were way out of their service area for their 32 employees to go. It just seems that should have been told to us in our first two contacts with this company. I didn't think this was professional at all.

Our air conditioning unit was not functioning and we had no idea as to what the problem was. A technician from Davis and Davis checked the unit thoroughly and concluded it was out of coolant. When the job was completed the unit came to life and has been working fine ever since. We appreciate that the technician was on time and very professional and that we were not taken advantage of. We have since recommended the company to others.

This company was following a bad experience we had had with another compnay a few days earlier. The Davis and Davis technician was punctucal, explained why the unit was not serviceable that day, and what we were to do until they returned the next day. They returned, and added the Freon that the unit needed. Everything is now working splendidly.
Description of Work: They examined the unit and added the necessary Freon when the unit defrosted.

We use them twice a year as we have a contract with them. They are not always great but this time the guy who came out was absolutely top notch. What's top notch about him is that he didn't try to press us to change and get a new system. If I complain about a back room that doesn't seem to work, he sees what he can do about it in a modest price. He's very good and they call you to remind you when they are coming out.

They showed up on time, were very clean and did a great quality installation. They even cleaned up after themselves and the installation is beutiful. The workmanship is really nice. Finding qaulity workmanship these days is hard and they did such a good job.
Description of Work: The installed a new central air conditioner to replace the unit that was 17 years old. The prior company that handled this work was bought by a large national firm and their customer service was bad and their sales tactics were even worse. They tried the hard sell and priced the job at $6,200. Davis and Davis did this for $3,960 and provided a better model AC unit as well as replacing all the pipes. The humidifer was $450 from Davis and Davis and the other company wanted $800 to do this. Fritz the salesman is a professional and provided me with a quality estimate in writing. They treated me the way companies should treat their customers. I strongly recommend these people on price, quality and they way they do business. I like to do business with quality local firms and these folks are really good.

D&D came to my house on 5/5 to diagnose a central A/C system which would not move any air. They diagnosed a problem with the Carrier variable speed blower motor system. These are absurdly expensive units, and it was about ten years old and beyond warranty. I was told that if were a newer system, there might have been a possibility of just replacing the electronics or just the blower mechanism, but due to its age, the entire part needed to be replaced. D&D called on the morning of 5/9 to say the part was in, and they came out as agreed that afternoon to install it. Dwight from Davis and Davis replaced the variable speed blower motor located in my attic. My attic is not a pleasant place to work, but Dwight did not complain, replaced the blower motor, tested the system and left. I gave them an A on price since the blower motor appeared to cost about $700 wholesale and it was sold to me for $1145, which isn't an unreasonable markup.

The lady who answered our call was very polite and seemed quite concerned about the problem (though I assured her we'd been living with this for many months and it wasn't urgent). Shortly thereafter, we got a late evening call from their technician. He seemed a bit gruff at first, but I forgave him for this later after I saw him in action. After a fairly extensive conversation, he asked me to call the main office back the following morning to set up an appointment. We made an appointment for a few days later. Although the appointment window was about 4 or 5 hours in duration, D&D called first thing in the morning to give a narrower 2-hour window when they would be arriving. They did arrive when they said they would. Prior to the technician's arrival, I turned the furnace blower off, so that the fumes would accumulate. As you might expect, the problem didn't seem as bad now that someone was coming to work on it! However, when the technician first walked through the door, I asked him if he smelled anything. He said, "I smell ozone. Do you have an electrostatic air filter?" I answered in the affirmative. He investigated other possible sources of the problem and verified that the rest of the system was working properly, including the exhaust vent to the outside. He then checked the electrostatic air filter and found that it had not been wired properly when it was installed. It remained "on" even when the furnace blower was off, continuing to produce ozone all the time. He serviced the air conditioner for me, and we agreed he would return for a second appointment to re-wire (and replace a part in) the air filter. During the second appointment, he not only corrected the wiring problem with the air filter, but also discovered a small natural gas leak inside the heating compartment of the furnace. He corrected that problem as well. So, what we had been smelling all these months (actually years, now that I understand the problem) was a mixture of ozone and natural gas! I never would have guessed this. But the D&D technician caught it immediately. The strange odor is now completely gone and the air smells fresh. As a side note, this entire Furnace/AC system was installed a few years ago by a contractor from Home Depot. They made several mistakes during the installation, including incorrectly wiring the thermostat into the system, and incorrect installation of the humidifier. I now see that they got the electrostatic air purifier and gas line wrong as well. I'm very grateful to the D&D technician for getting to the bottom of a subtle problem so quickly and restoring this relatively new system to proper operation in such a professional manner.
Description of Work: We usually run our gas furnace/ac blower continuously to assure even heating and cooling throughout the house. However, when we occasionally turn the blower off for an hour or two, we experience a build-up of a peculiar odor in the room immediately above the utility room where the furnace/ac unit and gas hot water heater are located. It smells a little bit like car or bus exhaust, though fainter. This has caused us to worry for some time about what we may be breathing in our home. I speculated that the problem might be with the draft through the exhaust pipe that vents fumes from our furnace and water heater to the outside. Also, it was time to have the air conditioning unit checked and routine service done on it. I found Davis & Davis on Angie's List. They were highly rated and not too far away.

Our upstairs heat pump was not cooling. It hadn't been great all summer but it finally just stopped cooling. And the heat had not been great the winter before. Neither of us had ever had a heat pump so we weren't sure what was wrong or even really how to maintain it. The tech that came was incredibly nice and very efficient. He determined that the freon was low, which affects both the cooling and the heat. I believe there were a few other issues as well. The tech was fast, explained thoroughly but very quickly (you pay by time)what was wrong and how to repair it. We were very pleased with the company.
