I purchased an a/c inspection and yearly plan and given the ok for 3 a/c units (needed coolant and paid extra) Then system stopped working, called for repair. Got repair and paid for more service. Next a/c stopped working and froze pipes and damaged walls inside of my home. Charged $650 to fix for the 3rd time. Please don't use this company. They literally have no idea how to fix air conditioners. Went from everything is OK to $1000 in damage in 2 weeks!

Easy to schedule, arrived on time, did all work timely, staff was friendly and easy to be around. Price was reasonable. However, two of the ceiling vent louvers were not reinstalled correctly when the vents were cleaned. Instead of calling them back I reinstalled them myself.

Response from Carteret Heating & Cooling Inc
The homeowner has been a consistent customer of ours since 2007 and utilized us for preventative maintenance service for many years. He contacted Carteret Heating about an electrical breaker problem he is having in his home, not related to his heating/AC system. We advised him to contact an electrician to identify his electrical issue and resolve his concern. The inquiry has nothing to do with the heat pump and is not covered under the heating system warranty, a system we installed in 2007.

Description of Work: I used Carteret Heating and Cooling to replace an HVAC unit. They sold me a unit that was supposed to stand up to the elements for our beach house. This was about 4 years ago. I have had 4 serious problems with the unit. First was a cracked pan, then a leak on the drain which resulted in water damage. Then some valve rusted on the outside unit. It was not covered by warrantee even though the unit was less than a year old and cost about $900. Then there was another repair again this year. When I discussed this with Carteret, their response was essentially "planned obsolesce"! This one cost $950). In addition, I had an AprilAire dehumidifier installed. This too failed. Carteret has not even returned the call.

Response from Carteret Heating & Cooling Inc
The homeowner purchased a new system in April 2009 and also a dehumidifier. This is OCEANFRONT property. It came with a 10 year Compressor, 10 year Parts and 1 year labor warranty. It was "5 YEARS after the original installation" before a service call was needed for his heating & air system, this is proof of a good installation. We install the systems. We DO NOT make them. In April 2014 his condensing unit (copper tubing) sprung a leak due to corrosion. The homeowner was advised of the repair cost and what was not covered by his warranty (refrigerant is never covered and labor is not covered after the 1st year) the repair cost was approved prior to service by the homeowner. (Standard company policy). We repaired unit. April 2015 (6 YEARS from the original installation) we received a call that the unit was not cooling. A compressor circuit failed. We advised homeowner of the repair cost .The cost was approved by the homeowner. We made the repair, the compressor was supplied under warranty. 2 months later June 2015 we received a "not cooling call", we found a fault in our repair .We repaired it at NO CHARGE to the homeowner. The dehumidifier was covered by a 1 year manufacturer warranty and when it needed a new expansion valve in August 2010 (out of manufacturer’s warranty) we repaired it. We wrote off the cost for the part and the labor. We have no record of a cracked drain pan, we do know that the homeowner was never charged for a cracked pan. It might have happened during the original installation of system? We cannot say as we have no record of that or any recent call stating any dissatisfaction from the homeowner. Most of our customers have the owner’s cell phone # and if they don’t all they have to do is request it. Our Service Dept Manager is always available. We have elaborate software to track our calls and we are sorry if we missed a call and we are sorry this homeowner is displeased. Customer satisfaction is very important to us and that is why, we answer our phones and when service is requested we respond promptly. We always give our customers upfront pricing so there are no surprises. Again, we do not make the equipment .We service it. We do not have any control over what is and what is not covered by a manufacturer’s warranty and unfortunately for the homeowner sometimes that means out of pocket expenses.

After (6) service calls in (2) years, CHC installed a brand new compressor within (1) day and as seamlessly as possible. However, it was their actions before the purchase and installation that encouraged us to continue give them our business. Service: Hands down, service is CHC's forte - and something that every customer should weigh heavily into their decision-making. As stated above, they have provided our household with approximately (6) service calls. Unlike many other ENC businesses, CHC answers their phones and wants the business. It's our opinion that some technicians are more highly skilled than others (or rather more attentive to detail), however, most of the technicians that we've had are top notch. Sales: Working with the estimator was relatively considering he answered a plethora of questions after we did extensive research about the unit. ENC is not the place to go cheap on a heating/cooling system. Carrier is the equivalent to a Honda in the car world. It's relatively expensive, however, you get what you pay for so long as its maintained. There were occasional miscommunications, but nothing that prevented us from proceeding to do business with CHC. He was also willing to negotiate which was a plus! [We have elected not to disclose the price.] Installation/Service: Installation team was on-time, paid strict attention to detail (including cleaning), and was also thorough. Wires and pipes were tied down, circuit board was installed in its PROPER location, and the outdoor compressor was balanced and fixed to the platform. They even brought the very best of the service department to finish up the job. If you're in the market for service, installation (heat pump or geothermal), or even just a preventative maintenance plan, do your research first, and then be advised that CHC will always have our highest recommendation.
Description of Work: For two years, Carteret Heating and Cooling has serviced the bottom of the barrel compressor (Haier) that the "shortcut-savvy" builder put into the home, therefore, after price-matching (3) different companies, we gave CHC our business when it was time to replace the declining compressor and handler. CHC has given our household the kind of responsiveness that is unparalleled in Eastern North Carolina. They answer their business line AND they answer their emergency line. They don't make promises that they can't keep, but they do advise you of the best course of action to take for the short-term and long-term.

He looked at EVERYTHING, including the air handlers, and found a gash in the ductwork that was diverting air away from the affected half of the house. The person who had put in the system 2 years ago looked at it last week and topped off the coolant but never looked at the system. This provider was very thorough, pleasant, professional, and gave us options to fix the problem, one of which my husband will do himself. We will definitely call Careteret Heating and Cooling again.
Description of Work: He evaluated our two air conditioners to see why half of our home was not getting as cool as the other.
