They could have replaced the whole unit, but they replaced the capacitor and saved me a lot of money. I was ecstatic. I would recommend them very highly.

My furnace died, and was blowing cold air. I picked these guys because they were the best rated. I spoke with Thomas Kerksey, in Kensington. I feel like I got my money's worth.
Description of Work: Checked furnace, fuseable link, cleaned heat exchangers and burners. He cleaned everything out and he did a great job. He made every effort to keep the furnace stuff from blowing all over the house. Afterwords he explained why the furnace wasn't working, and made sure I knew what he had done, and how to operate the heater.

We have used them for heating and air conditioning exclusively for over 20 years now. We have had experiences with them where they could have sold us a new unit, but made suggestions to keep the old unit running instead. They are very professional and always come out for repairs when necessary. For example, we called them yesterday at 7:45 a.m. to let them know our air conditioner needed to be repaired. They were here by 1 p.m. and fixed the problem. Their prices seem reasonable, however I would not know since I have been using them for so long. We trust them and they do good work. I will continue to use them in the future and would definitely recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They have replaced our heating and air conditioning units in the past. In our present house, they serviced our utilities until they needed to be replaced, and now they service our new units.

Terrible, terrible, terrible.. As I mentioned earlier, we have been service contract holders with Davis and Davis for four years. We have been living without AC upstairs in our bedrooms for almost three weeks. We first had to wait three days to get someone to even come out and look at our system. When the person finally came we were told our freon had frozen through the line. It so just happened that was one of the hundred plus degree days in Washington, DC -- I told the serviceman to please come back later in the day -- when I was sure the line would have thawed. I was told that couldn't happen. So we waited another three days (it was a Saturday and we had to wait until Monday) to have somebody come out to add the freon. I even told them I'd pay the extra amount for someone to come out on Sunday, but no one returned my call and they never came. When the guy finally came Monday the AC worked for less than a day ....so we called Davis and Davis to come back out. We were told the system was shot and the freon was just leaking out of the unit. My husband told the serviceman -- okay please have your colleagues write up an estimate as to how much it would cost us to replace the unit and let us know. Two days later we still hadn't heard anything ...how odd considering we were telling Davis and Davis we were in effect, ready to write a big check. Nevertheless two days later after we hadn't heard a peep I called back (please keep in mind that we'd been living in our basement at this point for a week ...my husband, 4 1/2 year old son and I all sleeping in the same bed). The woman I spoke with was very nice and when I told her what happened she said, "Oh, you're supposed to talk with XX -- she is the person who sets up the appointments for estimates." I said, "you mean there is a special person we were supposed to speak with just to set up an appointment for estimates?" She said, "yes." So I said, please tell XX that we've been waiting for two days for Davis and Davis to call us -- and no one told us we were supposed to speak with a special person to make an appointment for an estimate. I said, if XX doesn't call me back within the hour -- please tell Davis and Davis that I am cancelling my service contract and they will lose our business. I never heard back from them again. This is clearly a terribly run company with no sense of customer service or compassion. I wouldn't go back to them if they were the last AC/Heating company on earth.
Description of Work: We have been using Davis and Davis for the last four years to service our AC and Heating systems. Our A/C has had problems for years -- leaking freon but we've been willing to pay the money to keep re-filling the unit. Unbenownst to us though it turns out (thanks to another service company which finally looked at the entire system) the system itself is completely shot and should've been replaced years ago. We have non-existent "ducts" in our attic and the pipes were never properly insulated. Why Davis and Davis never brought this to our attention we have no idea!

The problem was diagnosed quickly and the work was performed in a very professional and workmanlike manner for a very reasonable price. Off the top of my head, I can think of 2 other companies in our county that would have charged half again to twice as much for what was charged for this repair/replacement.
Description of Work: The Davis & Davis tech diagnosed a switch problem on the condensate pump for our condensing Carrier forced air furnace. The technician, Dwight, was personable, quick and knowledgeable and took care of the problem in short order. He also re-clamped a hose that came loose, connected a wire that became disconnected from the old condensate pump, and explained what to watch for in the way of likely problems developing with condensing furnaces. Dwight arrived just outside the time frame indicated and I found the price charged to be very reasonable for the services and parts provided.

Since we had no heat during the night (but used a space heater), I called around 8:00 a.m. The person I spoke to was very friendly and we set up an appointment for between 11-1 that same day. The repairman arrived promptly (actually he were 5 minutes early!) and quickly found the problem and explained it to us in detail to describe what happened. Once he finished, he explained what he did to fix the problem. Invoice was clearly written and very detailed. Most of the cost was time for labor, which was accurate. Will gladly use again.
Description of Work: Replaced the transformer and fan relay in my townhouse's forced air heat pump which had short-circuited and kept blowing the fuse.

I checked out a couple of places for prices and while they weren't the cheapest they were in line with other providers. They were able to come out when I needed and give me specific hours on when they could do the work. I would use them again for future service.
Description of Work: They replaced the condenser on my air conditioning unit, this work was done last summer. I recently called them back in November when I heard a noise and thought that I needed a new furnace. He checked it out and told me that I wouldn't need to replace it for about two years that all I needed was a new part which they were able to replace for me.

I used this company before based on favorable reports on Angie's List. My first experience was great - I had used them for summer maintenance, so I decided to go with them again for winter maintenance. A different representative came this time, Tom, who was very pleasant. He checked the filter, dampers, switches, blowers, etc. One thing extra that he did, which I really appreciated, was review our Aprilaire humidifier with me. We had never used it before and he went over how to maintain and operate it. He also labeled and explained how to used the dampers. These things always confused me - which way to set it in winter and summer. He discovered an additional damper that we had for our 3rd floor, which I never knew was there. When we tried to close it, we discovered that it was jammed against a joint. He didn't want to risk breaking it, so he suggested we just close the registers on the top floor. Regardless, I'm glad he pointed it out, and Tom was happy to explain it all.
Description of Work: Routine winter maintenance on our electric water heater. He also reviewed the operation of our Aprilaire humidifier.

When our furnace went out, we called Davis & Davis because they we knew the previous owners of the house had used them. They were friendly on the phone, and arranged a service call the next day. As promised, they called in the morning to let us know the range of time in which they would be arriving, and then came at the early part of that range. The technician was very friendly, and even showed us how to re-light the pilot on our own, and provided advice about the pros and cons of replacing the whole furnace. He replaced a part and caught our mistake of putting the air filter in back-wards. He worked quickly as well. All in all it was a very satisfactory experience.

The dispatcher did not call at the appointed time to provide me with the service window. I had to call them to make the arrangement. However, the technician did show up during the scheduled window. He went straight to work and replaced parts. After an hour I discussed with him whether we should just replace the furnace. He thought no, and that is when he told me that he would also have to replace the gas valve. He estimated the total costs to be $700. The final costs were much higher, $1140. He gave me a 15% discount because the total was so high, but the that still was nearly $300 over the estimate. Before he left he failed to replace the door correctly, and the furnace would not run that night. The technician returned the next day and discovered his error, and closed the door correctly. There was no charge for the second visit.
Description of Work: Diagnosed trouble with furnace. Replaced circuit boards and gas valve. Replaced four parts in total. Spent 1.5 hours on site.

They showed up as scheduled for the estimate, put it together and delivered it within three days, and installed the complete new system the following week. The estimator and office staff were very helpful and courteous. The installers were totally professional, took their time and did a masterful installation. They made little mess and completely cleaned up before leaving. They even draped the path from the front door to the basement with canvas drop cloths to avoid dirtying our floors. They answered all questions patiently and politely. They also were the lowest of three bids. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: They replaced our central air conditioning compressor, coils and piping. They removed the old and installed a new furnace, installed a new whole house air filtration system and replaced the flu's that support them. The job took 1.5 days.

I called Davis and Davis and was given an appointment 2 weeks away. The person on the phone was very polite. They called me on the day of the appointment before 8 AM to give me a more exact time that the service person would arrive. Twenty minutes before the time, the service man came and did the furnace check up. He was fast and check the heat system, he gave me a written and verbal report of of the system checkup.
