They came late evening and said they have to replace motor and they did not have part - Quoted significant amount for the motor. I got the same service done with a different service provider (from Angies List) for $200 less.

It was so easy! From the phone call with Jill to make the appointment to Mike’s knowledge and ability to fix the problem this company was the perfect pick for us. It ended up that we had a spider living in the burner so we weren’t getting the right amount of heat. He was in and out but not before he made sure everything was working well. I wil recommend this company to everyone.
Description of Work: Our furnace was not heating our house and running constantly. We needed someone to come over and figure out the problem and fix it.

Crain showed up within the prescribed service window. They sent an email in advance so I knew who was going to show up. After the service person reviewed the problem he consulted with me to explain I needed to replace a new circuit board that stopped working. I found out later that there was some kind of scorching on the circuit board, indicating something had burned out. The board was replaced and is now working perfectly. This repair was for a rental home so I asked if we could handle the service visit this without my being there. Crain was more than happy to call me on the phone to let me know what was going on. They allowed me to pay by credit card over the phone once they completed the repair and my tenant told me everything was working. This hasn't been my experience with other HVAC companies in the past. The service representative was pleasant as was the woman in the office that scheduled the appointment. It was a very good experience. FYI, I really don't know how to rate the price. I paid $445 for the repair, which included labor and the new circuit board. I simply picked a B, but it may be an A.
Description of Work: I had a problem with the furnace not firing. It appeared to be something to do with the pilot not being able to ignite the main furnace. The problem had been intermittent in the past but now seemed to be "permanent". I had contacted another well known multi-location HVAC business about this problem at least twice before and they hadn't diagnosed the problem so I decided to try Crain.

Fantastic. Very satisfied from beginning to end. Cody came out and gave us all of our options. He was very thorough and professional. The online financing and was easy to complete.

I had a capacitor replaced on the AC unit a year ago from another company. The capacitor was bad again. The repair guy at Crain said that they had used a low quality capacitor unfortunately. He said that this should match much longer. They were also able to come out the same day!

Work was completed as promised and installed product looks great. Garrett and Ed did great work, answered all questions as work was being completed. They took extra effort to make sure everything looked neat and would pass city inspection. Work area was cleaned up when they finished and all old product was taken away.
