I felt very comfortable with Travis. His knowledge and clarity in explaining it all was excellent. I will definitely use this company in the future.
Description of Work: Called to schedule my inspection and tune-up. Lady who answered was friendly and professional and was able to schedule someone to come the same day! Travis arrived, put on shoe protectors. We went downstairs and he did what he was here to do. Explained everything super clearly. I found out we have cracks in our heat exchange, which is not good. Will be looking to replace our furnace. He also noticed our water heater is in bad shape and we need to replace that too. Both appliances are about 18 years old so I was not surprised.

They were able to schedule an appointment quickly even when they were dealing with a lot of frozen pipes during the week of very cold temperatures. The plumber was very polite. He worked with me on a discount. My house is old and it did not have the modern sump pump set up. (The old one pump was repeatedly running and was on it's last legs). He replaced the pump and made it work in the unique set up. He was meticulously clean and I was happy with the service.

We moved in to the house about 2 years ago and wanted the furnace inspected. It was a little challenging scheduling the service due to the time of year but can't complain they prioritize to those without heat. They kept us aware of when they would arrive and when they were on their way. The service was quick and explained how everything was and what was done. Best part was they did not try to sell anything as I was expecting a sales pitch.

In August, 2013, we paid for Matheson's Platinum Service Plus Service Agreement which was to prep our furnace and AC before winter and summer, respectively. The plan cost us $277.00. In Jan. during the "Polar Vortex" we awoke to no heat. Matheson sent out a repairman who said that snow was blocking the outside air intake pipe and the exhaust pipe. He cleared away the snow and said there had to be an extension put on the exhaust pipe, but he didn't have one on his truck. He did get the furnace to work, though. That visit cost us $199.00. The next morning we again woke to no heat and again called Matheson. Another repairman came at about 2:00 PM. For what ever reason the furnace kicked on about 5 minutes before he got there. He said there was nothing wrong with the furnace and didn't know why it had stopped the second time. He did not have the pipe extension. No Charge. The following morning we again had no heat. We called another company who came out quickly. This repairman agreed that the outside exhaust pipe was too close to the intake pipe. He said that this caused ice crystals to form on the intake pipe thus blocking it. He extended the exhaust pipe and faced it away and above the intake pipe. Since then the furnace has been fine. We contacted Matheson to demand a refund of the $277.00 we paid for their Platinum Service Plan. The person who answered their phone said someone would call us back. That was over a week ago, and there has been NO call back. Matheson called a few days after I wrote this review to say they had sent a check for a full refund. I agreed that when we received the check and it cleared, I would update my review. Here is that update. (FYI, the company we subsequently hired said Matheson was a good company.) This situation was no doubt caused by miscommunication on both Matheson's and my part.

They were on time and cleaned up after themselves. Never a problem. We hardly knew they were there. When finished they tested everything to make sure it was working properly.

Everything was fine. Performed work as expected. Not sure how something that takes so little time can be worth more than the $67 that we paid for the angie's list deal. Would not pay more than that in the future. He was probably only here 30 minutes or less. Glad that we had it done. Just don't see it being worth much more than we paid.

Response from Matheson Heating & Air Conditioning Inc
Dear Member, I am very sorry that you did not receive the top notch cleaning and tune-up you invested in. The technician should have spent more time thoroughly cleaning, inspecting, and testing your furnace. 30 minutes is simply not enough time to perform the service as promised. I will share and discuss this with the technician responsible. I want to ensure it never happens again and that he knows what is expected of him in the future. Thank you for taking the time to bring this to my attention. We will refund your $67 and if at all possible would like to dispatch one of lead technicians to perform the service properly at no charge. We can do this at your convenience either in the evening or on a Saturday so you don't have to miss work. Sincerely, Michael Matheson

I was referred to Matheson by a relative who lived in their area and was very happy with them. It proved to be a great referral. They took care of my ailing furnace until last year when we agreed it was time to replace it. They installed a new energy-efficient furnace for me last Thanksgiving and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. Today's visit was the complimentary one-year follow-up service. The service personnel are outstanding -- punctual, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Fees are reasonable, and the products they sell are high quality. I won't use anybody else for my HVAC.

Matheson was able to schedule the service within 2 days (we did not request immediate service). They were on time and cleaned up after themselves. Though our problem required consultation by the master plumber, he arrived quickly and together they completed the repairs. The "B" rating on price is simply due to the fact that I don't know how much another company would have charged for the same job.
Description of Work: We had a leak coming through the ceiling in our newly purchased home. We have a service plan with Matheson, so called them for the job.

It was borderline unethical. We lost air conditioning in the peak of the summer. My son was very ill. I told Matheson that I had to leave town and was very concerned about my wife and son suffering the heat. Matheson attempted to sell me a unit that was too large for our home and at a ridiculously non-competitive price. Matheson has a spectacular score on Angie's List. Angie's List needs to very closely review all historical Matheson reviews for legitimacy. I cannot be the only Angie's List subscriber who has had this experience with Matheson. This is in response to Matheson's response, which mentions insulation of the duct work. The ducting was insulated ducting. Two other specialists were able to determine this immediately upon inspection. Matheson's representative could not. Matheson attempted to take advantage of my family's situation. Anything posted to the contrary is an outright lie.

Response from Matheson Heating & Air Conditioning Inc
We thank the member for posting a review. We appreciate all input whether it's negative or positive. This helps us improve our business processes as necessary to ensure complete client satisfaction. Unfortunately, the member's system required additional work that was outside the scope of a typical air conditioner with an air handler in the attic. The duct system was in dire need of air sealing and insulation. This is especially critical in the attic where the cooling system is subjected to +100 degree temperatures. In order to ensure maximum performance and efficiency we needed to air seal every duct joint. This keeps the air in the system where it belongs and keeps harmful attic dust from entering the house. In addition, it would've been necessary to insulate all 4 sides of the duct trunk line and every supply run. This process can be very time consuming, especially when working in an area as hot as an attic in July. Once the delivery system was corrected we would have installed the air conditioner and air handler. We use an iPad application to properly size the equipment. This ensures a "glove fit" system for each individual home which maximizes the comfort of our clients and improves overall system efficiency. In regards to our integrity, we proudly live and work by a code of ethics handed down by our grandfather over 65 years ago. Those ethics shine through in the positive reviews we've received over the years from our clients via Angie's List. I'm sorry our company wasn't a good fit for the member. We wish the member and his family the very best, both now and in the future. Kindest regards, Michael Matheson Jr.

We had found out in the middle of the night that our heater had gone out. Originally I had thought that the pilot had went out, but I had checked it, and the furnace was fine. The problem/issue was beyond my skill level, and since we had used Matheson Heating & A/C in the past, I figured I'd give them a call in the morning. Michael Matheson responded quickly, and made it a point to reassure us that they would have the problem remedied by the end of the day. Since we do have jobs, we were not able to stay at home, however we left them a key to get into the house and they took care of the issue with no problem. Trever, the serviceman who came to our home, called me prior to his arrival and I had mentioned to him that we have a few cats in the house and to be careful when entering and exiting the home. He reassured me that everything was going to be taken care of, and that he would be in contact with Michael and myself when he was finished. The job went wonderful, and quickly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I am more than satisfied with the services performed. We will definitely be recommending Matheson Heating & A/C to everyone who needs these types of services performed in their home or building. Professional, Courteous, Punctual, and Knowledgeable. Big Thumbs up!

I purchased a Angie's List special furnace tune-up, which was about half the price of your typical servicing. The initial appointment was cancelled (hence my lower mark for punctuatlity), but the tech was right on time for the rescheduled appt. | |The tech spent close to two hours here, servicing my aging furnace. He showed me the points of concern about the unit and then got down to cleaning it up and setting everything straight. | |I checked in on him at one point and saw him checking out the water heater burner, something I was not expecting at all. He cleaned out that as well, showed me the sparkly clean furnace and called it a day. | |Aside from the rescheduling snafus (the appointment was cancelled via email, which I missed in my inbox -- a call would have been better, but that's small potatoes), the servicing was stellar and the tech was one of the most professional I have ever dealt with.
