They came almost immediately and the guy was very knowledgeable. He explained to me what he was doing and was kind and courteous. He inspected the rest of the furnace and told me what to expect in terms of future servicing. I would highly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: I was having a problem with my furnace for my 1,000 square foot home that was cycling on and off. They made some adjustments and the work took 1 hour.

Davis and Davis took care of everything quite quickly for us. The technician showed us some preventive actions to take so the problem would not occur again. I am seriously considering a contract with them.
Description of Work: Our air conditioner had to be repaired because the over flow line was causing the water to leak. Davis and Davis did the work for me.

The price for the job was around the mid range of estimates that we received. They were very professional, very helpful in answering all our questions, and when they were done, they cleaned up very nicely. I would recommend them to anyone and we will continue to use them ourselves.
Description of Work: Recently, I had them completely replace my air-conditioning unit, my furnace, and my hot water heater. I have a 2500 square foot home. They took most of the day doing this and then discarded all the old units when they left.

I received 3 quotes for the job. This is time consuming but also well worth the money I saved had I gone with the first quotes. The Davis & Davis quote also included 10 years free parts and Labor, which made their offer much more attractive than the others received because I have two additional heating/ac systems to maintain. When I gave one of the other contractors an opportunity to match the Davis offer, they couldn't come close. The new system was installed by three men on a Wednesday, five days after receiving the quote. When they finished installation, which went very smoothly, a brief tutorial was provided on working the new digital thermostat.
Description of Work: Provided the best quote and expertly installed new heat pump and air handler which service a sunroom.

Tom came out, he asked a few question then went right to work. He checked everything out and found the problem. Parts were on the truck and he was able to repair the unit right then. Once the unit was repair he went back and re-checked everything to ensure the unit was operating with in the manufacturers specifications. He also said to let it run for a few days and if I had any other problems to just call them back and he'd come right back out. Customer service was excellent.
Description of Work: My 2nd story air was out, I call them and they arrived on the same day. They said they would be here between noon and 2:00 they arrived promptly at noon. He quickly found a bad capacitor that would allow the condenser to operate.

The person who answered the phone was very scattered and initially said they were not taking any new customers. Weird. Then she said she found an appointment available in 2 weeks. When I described what we were looking for and asked about pricing I was told the visit would be $85 the first half-hour and $30 for each 15 minute increment thereafter. I canceled the appointment after Home AirServices agreed to come out within a few days to take a look at the house and discuss options (at no charge). We'll report on Home AirServices once we're done working with them but so far they seem great.
Description of Work: We called them to discuss maintenance on our HVAC system and possible solutions for uneven heating and cooling.

Fabulous, very quick, and professional.
Description of Work: We just bought a home in Kensington, MD and found that the A/C was not functioning properly. We have a HMS warranty, but after being called back from a contractor we were told that we could only be services between 9 and 10am the next day. Due to the inflexibility of the company we decided to call Davis and Davis and pay the cost. A live person answered the phone on the second ring and told us they will have a service tech out to our home by 7pm that night. Tom the tech was professional, friendly, and identified and fixed the problem in minutes. He also replenished our Freon levels. We were so satisfied with their service we now have a maintenance contract with them.

Excellent. I originally contacted another HVAC company, who the previous owners used, and their technician said the furnace was not repairable and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, the other company said they could not repair the furnace for 5 days during a snow emergency weekend. After heavy-up-selling from them, I subscribed to and checked Angie's List and another consumer source and then called Davis & Davis. Their technician, Ivan, diagnosed the problem, had the faulty part on his truck, and had the furnace running within an hour. I was also interested in replacing our 18 year old furnace and AC when the weather was warmer. Ivan advised *not* to replace and said that the parts should be readily available. Needless to say, I greatly appreciated his integrity (I also learned that D&D's service technician cannot sell - an installer comes to give an estimate if you need a complete replacement).

The technician was on time. However, from the minute he walked through the door I was told that the company does not come "this far" into the District and that the dispatcher was new and did not know. He spent 20 minutes telling me that the furnace was cheap and terrible and that it will have to be replaced while he checked the amperage of 4 wires. He said we would clean the temperature sensor, which he did not do. He basically left me with a furnace that will not last much longer than a month or two with no ability to follow up. The entry in Angie's List reads that the company is IN WASHINGTON, DC! Why would that be if they will not come to my house again. I basically wasted $80 because the technician had nothing invested in the visit. He knew he would not be back and basically wasted my time.
Description of Work: A service call to check the status and performance of a forced air furnace that has been malfunctioning.

Response from Davis & Davis Air Conditioning & Heating Inc
I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR SERVICE CALL. I LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND THAT YOU CALLED IN A FURNACE MAINTENANCE CALL AND NOT A PROBLEM CALL. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AND THAT THE BOARD WAS GOING BAD. UNDER OUR LISTING IT SAYS WE WORK IN AREAS OF THE DISTRICT, NOT ALL OF WASHINGTON. I WILL BE HAPPY TO REFUND YOUR $79.95 YOU PAID. I WISH YOU HAD CALLED ME AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO HELP YOU AND RESOLVE THIS EARLIER. SINCERELY, KEVIN SMITH DAVIS & DAVIS

The technician arrived right on time, listened to my problems, and went right to work. In addition to everything described above, he also showed us how to back off on the water flow to the humidifier, which had been set full on and made a roaring noise when operating. He was prompt, friendly, helpful, and informative.
Description of Work: The technician inspected the furnace, thermostat, and ducts to find the cause of erratic heating, temperature imbalance between floors, and strange thermostat readings. He determined that all systems were in excellent working order but discovered a problem in the ancient electronic air filter. The unit was disconnected from its source of electricity, the element was simply gone, and, most important, the initial screen-type filter was totally clogged with filth. He attributed all our problems to this airflow blockage, and as soon as we removed it everything improved. We had to lower the thermostat 2 degrees to keep from roasting.

They did a fine job. They inspected and tested the furnace and noted that while the motor was noisy, it was operating fine and the noise was due to how it was constructed. Replacement of the motor would likely result in the same problem and was not influencing operation.

Our furnace stopped working late in the evening and I called the Davis & Davis answering service. They told me a representative would call me back in the morning. I never received a call and when I called them later in the day they didn't have my information and I was told they don't provide service in my area. That would have been good to know when I called the answering service.

Davis & Davis installed the replacement units without any problems. They were very professional and stated a number of times that they would do anything we wanted to make us happy. Their work was very neat and clean. They didn't try to sell us on additional upgrades. After replacing our 7-day programmable with a 5-day with the installation, I explained that I wanted a 7-day installed. They replaced the t-stat the next day.
Description of Work: Davis & Davis replaced our 40-year-old forced-air heater, 18-year-old central a/c, and hot water heater.

Davis and Davis provided a detailed estimate in writing after meeting with me at the scheduled time to assess the heating and air conditioning systems. They scheduled the removal and installation within a few days of my acceptance of their estimate. They arrived on time and quickly and expertly removed the old air conditioning system. They installed a new pad for the new system. Before installing the heating system, the installer showed me damage to the new unit; it had appeared to have been dropped. He called for delivery of a replacement unit and had an additional crew show up to assist in completing the replacement in time. The high efficiency heater required installing a new vent through the foundation. The crew completed the routing of the copper and PVC pipes with the least intrusion into the basement. They cleaned the area and explained the operation of the Aprilaire vents and showed how to clean and replace them.
Description of Work: Replaced an outdoor air conditioning unit and indoor condenser; removed heating system and installed high efficiency heating system with humidifier and Aprilaire air cleaner.

I had suspected leaks in the system. The technician did some troubleshooting and identified several. He recommended replacing the coil. Months earlier, the coil had frozen up and I called another company. They recommended a chemical cleaning to the tune of $1100. Had it been done, the coil still would have to have been replaced. I feel satisfied that I received a new coil for $1800 rather than a cleaning ($1100) and probably future replacement. I observed the coil after installation and noticed that some of the delicate fins of the coil had been crushed. Only one technician was on the job, and I suspect the damage occurred while lifting the heavy coil into position. The coil was still operational. I had a appointment in the afternoon on the day of the replacement. I communicated that I wanted them to be complete by 1:30. They said the job would take three hours. They almost did not meet my schedule, and I felt they rushed a little bit.
Description of Work: They replaced the evaporator coil and recharged the system with Freon.

The office called early that morning and let me know the approximate arrival time of the serviceman. At my request, he called as he arrived at the house so my dogs didn't launch themselves at him as soon as he rang the doorbell. He was very thorough and since this is a new home for me, explained how to bleed the radiators if I ever needed it. I had decided to purchase the maintenance agreement ahead of time since this will also cover my spring checkup for the A/C.
Description of Work: I had my fall maintenance performed on my boiler and purchased a maintenance contract.
