You sign up to be a certain level of member, so they visit the house sporadically, and call to say that it is time for your check up. It is part of that program. The people who come are professional, and they are excellent. They are just so knowledgeable, so helpful, they do their job with a smile, they don't try to pinch you for extra money, they try to do what they can with what you have, and they are very honest. I really appreciate their honesty. When it comes to time, I will go through Flame, because he was so honest about what I needed, and I was appreciative of that.

The service man was prompt and performed the required maintenance. HOWEVER...he felt it was ok to take a white hand towel that I had on my laundry tub and use it as a rag. A year ago another man felt it was ok to take a sharpie and write arrows on my humidistat. I think their employees are not very caring about your personal property.

The experience with Flame Furnace was a complete disaster. The technician seemed like he was doing work, and each time I went down to the basement to check on progress he became more convinced there was some problem, and there was more perspiration on his shirt each time...which was really strange because he didn't seem like he was actually doing anything. Turns out he shut down our furnace and claimed that the furnace was emitting dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. He even attempted to show me how dangerous by showing me the readings on his meter (I subsequently learned that he was taking readings on the exhaust air, which of course has high levels of carbon monoxide.) So he refused to turn back on the furnace saying that we needed a new furnace since there was no way to repair the heat exchanger which apparently was cracked (the furnace was 12 years old). Then he had a salesman come and try to sell me a $3-4k new furnace. Being suspicious I called DTE and had them come and checked the furnace and they found no problems with the furnace nor any carbon monoxide readings. Additionally, I called Tri-County Home Inspectors and they suggested buying a new CO monitor and installing it right beside the furnace - which I did. I have had no problems since. So basically the technician at Flame Furnace was dishonest and the so-called "tune-up" was just a sales call that I paid for. I wouldn't recommend Flame Furnace for ANYTHING.
Description of Work: The provide was supposed to inspect & tune-up the furnace, but instead he was on a mission to attempt to convince me to buy a new furnace.

[member name removed], We always honor our 100% guarantee. We have been trying to contact you by phone. Please give us a call. We would like to send out a service manager along with a DTE personal (free of charge) to show you our results are correct. Our equipment is more specific than DTE equipment. Therefore it detects problems that the DTE equipment may not show. We will prove to you and DTE that our calculations are correct and that you do in fact have CO issues concerning your furnace. We also suggest you do not put the detector you purchased next to the furnace. It needs to be placed near your thermostat which is close to the air your family breathes. Customer satisfaction is most important to us. We will certainly honor this 100% guarantee.

Air conditioner went out, called Flame. Sent repair person and was told the electrical box was not working. and needed to be replaced. And she should have a service contract in case anything else goes wrong. She signed up for the service contract and gave the repair person a blank check so that they could deduct the monthly charge from her account. The person came out and replaced the electric box. She paid approx. 800.00 for the service. The air conditioner did not work. She purchased a new air conditioner and furnace Approx. 6,000.00 The new equipment carries a one year warranty. They have been charging her checking account every month for the service contract. I have called several times on her behalf . The new equipment carries a one year warranty parts and labor. Why does she need a service contract for the first year? Mother in Law is 86

They contacted me promptly but it would take at least two weeks to be able to schedule the furnace cleaning. This is too long to wait for basic maintenance. I feel like that the companies on here offering deals that you pay in advance for should include an idea of when the service could be completed because if it would have said something like 2-3 week wait for service I would never have even considered it.

I had no problem with the repair man. He was actually a very nice person. I had a problem with the price. My gas regulator on my furnance went bad. The repair man explained everything that was wrong with the furnance. He cleaned and tighten everything on the furnance. I just wasn't prepared for the total price. He didn't have a gas regulator for my furnance and charged me $29.00 to go pick one up from the suppy store. He changed the thermo couple and he sold me a warranty contract for about $60.00. I was out of about $928.00 for the total service. I was also able to use a $20.00 coupon for being an angie list member. I googled the price of a gas regulator and most came to about $58.00 or less. I hope I am wrong but I think I've been screwed big time.

Thank you for your feedback and I looked into your service call to make sure you received your full value. Along with the 5 ½ hour service and parts you received a one year membership in our Gold Maintained Plan. Any future diagnostic repairs needed this year will not have a diagnostic fee. You will also receive discounts on repairs with this gold plan. In addition the part you purchased has a 2 year warranty on both parts and labor. Thank you for your business and we hope to do business with you in the future.

We have previously used flame in 3 other houses and had them replace a furnace, air-conditioner and hot water tanks. They are prompt and courteous. They clean up after their work. We have been pleased with the service from flame. They will probably not be the least expensive, but they will write a contract and tell you exactly what you are getting. The furnace and air we have bought have been on the upper end, 90% efficient. I have recommended them to others who have used them and have also been pleased. In a previous house, after a sewer backup, they came and took apart enough of the furnace so that I could clean the sewage from under it.
Description of Work: The provider did major work on a house that we bought and did extensive remodeling before moving in. They put in a new furnace & A/C, air filter and water heater, and updated plumbing in bathroom and kitchen and updated the electrical. The kitchen and bathrooms were gutted and re-done. Flame did the plumbing and electrical, while a general contractor did the cabinets, tile floor and painting and also put in new plugs in the kitchen and bathroom. Installed fan in bathroom.and they also pulled all of the old insulation out of the attic and replaced it with new insulation r-49.

I needed a fan wheel replaced ,he tried to sell me motor and blade($700.) because he could not remove the blade from the motor I told him i'll get it off the motor,so i took it in my shop took it apart and cleaned the motor gave it back to him so he could re assemble the furnace that is when he told he did'nt have the parts on the truck and he had to go to a parts distributor to get the fan wheel.When he returned he finished the job,now comes the worst part,he charged me $35. travel time to get the part on top of the price of the part. It was winter so i had to pay. UPDATE 9/25/13: This matter was resolved, they refunded some charges, I am satisfied with that.
