They seem to do good work. The guys are always very polite. They wear shoe covers. It was part of the original agreement so I am not really sure how much they charged us. I think it is now going to be $70 for each cleaning.

They are phenomenal at their work. They are very thorough and professional, and they care about the customer. All the workers have very good customer skills. I think they offer a lower price if you sign up for two years.
Description of Work: We purchased new air conditioning units and new furnaces from Academy Air Heating & Cooling last year. We now have two furnaces and two air conditioners. They come out twice a year. The last time they were here, they did the six-month tune-up of both our air conditioners.

I am very happy with the work. I don't like having contractors in the house but the technician was so polite, friendly and considerate of my little one. He seemed to go beyond what could be expected to do the job right and to give helpful information. Great job.
Description of Work: Academy Air installed a humidifier in my basement to my furnace and serviced the furnace. Yes the engineer was polite, courteous & very helpful. He explained space was tight & near doorway so he placed it hight & very awkward for him to make it easier for us. He explained about the filters and other products that could help with indoor allergies. Products his company would not necessarily benefit from. His name was Kurt (top rate technician). They changed the appointment with 24 hrs notice from a service to installation. They are friendly, turn up on time, leave no mess. Definitely use them. Keep doing a great job.

They are very professional and do a very complete and thorough check of the A/C and furnace. They are always timely, and I feel that they are honest because they don't find unnecessary repairs. I think their prices are very reasonable and I recommend them.
Description of Work: I have a 3 year contract and they come out, run a diagnostic test for leaks, check for any problems and clean the filters. I am unsure of the total price.

Our furnace broke on Saturday and we called to have them come out. I called at 8:30 am and reached the call service. She said that she would forward my request. At 9:30 I still had not heard back and called again. I got the service and she said that my service request and been delivered. At 11am I finally called another heating company. The following Monday I called Academy Air to see what the problem was over the weekend. They were concerned about my message not being answered. I spoke with the owner. They remedied the situation by honoring my service contract and reimbursing me the cost of what I paid to the other service and what they would have charged me for the same work.
Description of Work: We have a service contract with Academy Air and they have performed work in the past.

This last time the guy didn't complete the job adequately so I couldn't get my heat or air turned on. I recently called and the guy came out and checked it and said that the previous man had neglected to check the door completely and left something open, so that's why nothing could be turned on. Then he remedied that and there was no service charge or anything, and I was very pleased about that.
Description of Work: They did an inspection for my air conditioning. I have a maintenance contract with them.

We have taken advantage of Academy Air's service plans, because they do a thorough job of inspecting the furnace and A/C unit. In addition, when we have specific problems that occur between service visits (although none have happened during the past 12 months), they make an effort to come as quickly as possible to restore heating or cooling for our home.
Description of Work: The amount we paid covers two tune-ups for a year on our furnace and air-conditioning unit. For the furnace, Academy Air cleaned the burners, flame sensor, checked heat exchanger, and gas pressure. Also, they checked electrical components and fan and changed filter. For the A/C visit, they checked compressor, condenser coil, fan and motor, evaporator coil, and changed filter.

We have had Academy Air service our existing heating and a/c for many years now. The men are always prompt and courteous, and put paper booties on, so they don't track dirt into your home. We got the top of the line products for our new furnaces and air conditioners, and although they were expensive, are working very well. The owner, Terry Silverstein is extremely knowledgeable about what your house needs and checks on the work himself. Every serviceman we have had in the house is polite, neat and knows his job.
Description of Work: Academy Air installed 2 new high efficiency furnaces, and 2 new air conditioners as part of a major remodeling project.

I HAVE A SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH ACADEMY AIR FOR MAINTENANCE SERVICE TWICE A YEAR. THE FAN ON MY OUTSIDE A/C UNIT STOPPED WORKING ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THEY CAME OUT TO FIX IT THAT SAME DAY. I HAD PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED REPLACING MY 12 YEAR OLD HEATING AND A/C SYSTEM WITH THE COMPANY AFTER SPRING SERVICE, DURING WHICH A FREON LEAK WAS DETECTED. THIS INCIDENT CONVINCED ME THAT IT WAS TIME TO REPLACE MY SYSTEM. THE COMPANY WAIVED THE COST OF THE FAN REPAIR (ABOUT $350) BECAUSE I SIGNED UP TO REPLACE MY SYSTEM. MY SYSTEM WAS REPLACED ONE WEEK LATER. THIS WAS A ONE DAY JOB FOR TWO TECHS. THE TECHS WERE ON TIME AND COURTEOUS. THEY PROTECTED MY CARPET AND FLOORS. THEY LEFT NO MESS WHATSOEVER. THE TECHS WERE ALSO FRIENDLY AND HAVE GOOD PERSONALITIES. THE TECHS WERE NAMED STEVE AND KURT. THEIR BOSS TERRY CAME BY TO CHECK ON THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK. HE IS ALSO FRIENDLY AND VERY LIKEABLE.
Description of Work: REPLACED 12 YEAR OLD, 2.5 TON, BUILDER INSTALLED, JANITROL A/C AND HEATING SYSTEM WITH A 2.5 TON AMERICAN STANDARD SER 15 A/C UNIT AND A 80% EFFICIENT, 2-STAGE, VARIABLE SPEED, GAS FURNACE AND AN APRILAIR SPACE GUARD HIGH-EFFICIENCY FILTER SYSTEM. THE COMPANY RE-INSTALLED MY APRILAIR WHOLE HOUSE HUMIDIFIER AND ADDED DUCT WORK FOR AN ADDITIONAL REGISTER IN MY LIVING ROOM. JOB INCLUDED REMOVAL AND HAUL-AWAY OF OLD SYSTEM.
