It went extremely well. The technician was prompt, very polite, courteous and went out of this way when my husband was on a conference call. He removed and replaced all registers, was thorough and completed the job in an acceptable amount of time. He was able to remove a very large amount of dirt, dust and sheetrock pieces from the ductwork.
Description of Work: I have a 5000 square foot home and they cleaned all of the ducts with a vacuum and brush.

They were excellent. What stood out about them was the efficiency in how they worked. There was no mess or dirt or anything. We couldn’t tell that they were here. They took the old furnace and the old air conditioner out and put the new furnace and new air conditioner in. The quality of their work was excellent. Their professionalism and responsiveness was excellent. I called and they were here the next day. They were on time. I would use them again in the future.

The motor on our furnace started making a loud noise the evening before. We called GV when they opened in the morning. He said he'd be at our house around lunchtime. He pulled up at 12:10, confirmed we needed a new motor and gave me an estimate. After running to pick up the part, he quickly installed it and the bill was very close to his estimate. Very punctual, efficient, and professional.

Golden Valley Plumbing and Heating did a great job. The salesman did not try to sell us anything more than we needed. He also found us an extra $700 rebate from Costco that we did not know was available at that time. One thing I liked was all the rebates were handled by them. They filled them out, had me sign where needed, and they mailed them in so they were done right the first time. I would recommend them.

Golden Valley Heating and Air provided one of three bids on a new furnace and A/C. They were only about $300. less than the other two bids, so price did not play a big part in my selecting process - I was mostly concerned about the quality of the equipment they would install and the confidence that I had that they would install it correctly. I was impressed with John, the guy who provided the estimate, because he spent a good part of his life installing furnaces and A/C, not just selling them. Also, the business is family owned, and his father started it. The fact that they received high ratings on Angie's list AND were in partnership with Costco was also a big factor in my choosing them over the other. The others seemed quite professional, too. They arrived right at 7 a.m., as promised, and worked until about 5:00. They were polite, professional, and explained everything they were doing. One guy had worked there for 18 year, another one for I think 24. Not sure about the third. That means something. They cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: They installed a 70,000 BTU furnace and a two-ton air conditioner.

Brian took off part of his weekend to come over and give us an estimate. He will explain the technical aspects if that's what you want or will give you his straighforward recommendation if you don't know what you want. I found him to be a good listener and very knowledgeable about the industry. Upon receiving a very competitive bid, which we accepted, the installation team was here within a week. John and company were neat, courteous, and did a quality job. They even submitted the rebate information for us. The job was done in 1/2 day and a few days later when the dewpoint was pushing 70, we were enjoying a cool, comfortable house.

I've worked with several HVAC contractors over the past ten years and have not encountered an HVAC company as thorough and as detail-focused as the Golden Valley (GV) Heating and Air Conditioning team that just finished working on one of my properties. They did the perfect job identifying the right Lennox system that I needed and it is exactly as they described it. They also did a perfect job installing it. They went to great pains to be neat and accurate. For example, the new furnace is a high efficiency unit, requiring new air vents through the roof. Their air vent work was precisely placed with vertical pipes that are straight and even, unlike another contractor who I worked with who left the pipes leaning in odd directions at a different property. GV also needed to cut into the ceiling for the new furnace but did a neat job of restoring the insulation and wall board. Additionally, the furnace was elevated for me to make servicing the air filter much easier. The water drains for the furnace were done with PVC instead of cheap looking floppy tubing. They even upgraded my drain piping for the humidifier without me asking. The outside AC is level and square. They were even able to pre-charge the unit in cold weather which I hadn't had done before. The solder connections and pipe insulation work are neat and well done. By the way, everyone who worked on the house, including the estimator, was always polite and professional. They were always willing to explain what needed to be done in as much detail as I wanted. At one point, I had to reschedule some of the installation work with them due to a conflict, and they were willing to work with me on that, too. I'm thrilled with the installation and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Pleasant and prompt scheduling of appointment. Technician arrived on time and was personable and professional in performing all services. Work was completed within time estimated. This service was performed on a 22 year old furnace and AC originally installed by GV Heating & Air. I've had them do tune-up service on this system when needed since it was installed. I've continued to experience grade A service from them for 22 years and will use them again for HVAC services.

They did a good job! The furnace went out in February, so time was of the essence. Their prices were very competitive. What impressed me the most, was that they use the same installers for each project. The salesman was thorough, knowledgeable, and bent over backwards to accommodate our needs. They were clean and completed the job in just two days. Overall, it was an excellent experience!

This company installed our furnace about three years ago and we found out that not only didn't they replace the duct work going into the house, but the duct that they attached had a giant rusted gap on the bottom where I could not see it. Bills were sky high, but I thought that was normal, no different from before, even though the furnace was supposed to be more efficient.. When the deck was rebuilt this fall, the roofers had to move the furnace and found the giant gap. Golden Valley Heating was called, and they wanted no part of the repair, they said it was too small a repair for them. Then I called them and asked them why they would not repair the gap. I spoke to an owner, and she said they wouldn't do it, even after I explained the circumstances. I was surprised at the refusal to even try to please the customer and vowed to never use them again. They had always been okay to work with, but the incident was too much to ignore. Also, since it's been fixed by another contractor, our bills have gone down considerably. But what about the thousands that were lost between the year the furnace was installed, and the current date?

We are sorry that this customer experienced a problem with their heating system. We replaced other units int this complex and have not heard of any of them having issues with their installations. We did pull permits and if the inspector found any problems, they would have made us correct them immediatly. The owner of our company did stop by the complex. At that time they were having the roof being replaced. The roofers disconnected the systems while this work was being done. We could not repair the unit while it was disconnected. The customer then had it reinstalled by another company. This explains the situation in stated facts.

We didn?t spend anything for the last service since it was under warranty. It has been good so far. The technician was outstanding. He was very personable and thorough. He cleaned up after himself. We had him here several times. I think he is knowledgeable too. They are going to my mother?s house next week to do a furnace check. I would recommend them. They are a family owned business. They are very easy to work with. They are honest and seem to have large integrity. The price that we paid before was very reasonable compared to whatever we wanted to pay. We would definitely use their services in the future too.

We had Golden Valley Heating and A.C. replace a 24 year old furnace and AC unit - which they had previously installed! That itself is a testament to the quality of their work. Not only did they replace the units but then we had them move the furnace from a room in the basement on one end of the house to the storage room in the middle of the basement. This was for two reason. To clean up the mass of returns and supplies coming from that end of the house (original to the house - 1916 - not the work of GV Heating and AC). You had to duck your head to enter the basement as it was right at the bottom of the stairs! And, moving it also served to more evenly heat the house. The room on the opposite corner of the house used to be freezing all winter (and hot all summer). THEN we had them add 4 new supplies and 1 return upstairs and 4 new supplies and one return downstairs. This greatly improved our air flow. Brian was great in supplying us with the plan and the bid - which it took us one year from the original bid to us getting the work done. We aren't very good at getting things done fast. Brian was very patient throughout the entire process. Jared and his group then were wonderful - they did all the work. Each morning we would meet with Jared and go over the previous days work and what they were hoping to get done that day. Prompt, professional, amazing. The basement looks great. Then on top of all that Sean came out and cleaned out our remaining old ducts. The mechanical and electrical inspectors, when asked who did the work, both said "they do great work". We did get other bids just to be fair. Their bid was the most fairly priced and their installation plan was the best. Brian, Jared and the whole group are excellent problems solvers and know what they are doing. I have no hesitations recommending this company.

The problem turned out to be a blown start-up capacitor. A $30 part that failed in the sixth year of use (with a five year warranty, naturally). What irked me was the labor charge. A $99 "trip charge" plus $25 per hour. This repair took all of fifteen minutes, and cost $150. The tech commented a lot of these capacitors have been failing this year (hmmm, shoddy product?). I imagine a lot of these repair jobs are handled quickly and easily, as this one. So having to pony up $125 for the first 15 minutes of "work" is a pretty good deal for them - not so much for the customer. As I said, I've worked with this contractor before and am generally satisfied with their work, but $100/hour is too steep and the fact that THEIR product failed a mere one year out of warranty is disappointing. Next time, I'll call around for competitive quotes and labor rates before assuming GV H&A is going to provide the best deal.
Description of Work: C/A stopped working in the middle of the recent heat wave. House fan worked, but no cold air from the vents. Breakers and fuses were ok, but outdoor compressor was not turning and its top was hot. GV H&A was backed up (of course) and couldn't come out for three days. I've used them before, and they installed the unit. The heat was supposed to break and I figured a few days waiting would be ok.

We have thousands of customers, so with the recent record hot spell we were extremely busy and it did take a few days to provide service to our many customers. When our technician arrived at the Member's residence he quickly diagnosed the problem, which was a bad capacitor. Our tech got the Member's air conditioner up and running in 15 minutes. While there, he also washed the condenser which was quite dirty and may have contributed to the capacitor failure. The manufacturer recommends regular maintenance on all furnace and air conditioning equipment. We do offer specials on maintenance every spring and fall for that very reason. Upon checking the Member's records, he has not requested any maintenance from us on his equipment since it was installed 6 years ago. Regarding our prices, we regularly check our rates with the other service providers in the area keeping our service call rates very competitive, not having a price increase in several years.

Identified the problem within 15 minutes (an earwig had shorted out the relay.) Clearly explained what had happened, showing us the bad relay with a fried earwig in it, and explained how to avoid problem in the future. Thoroughly checked A/C for other problems before leaving. As always, Prompt, professional and friendly service
