We would not have put it in but we had a lot of break downs with the old furnace. They did a good job. It works fine and the furnace is under warranty. When we were having problems, they came when we called even though it was the dead of winter and really a cold, cold time- they still came when I needed some body to check it out. The price was good- we could have done cheaper but chose to go with the best we could afford. They are very good -they spent two days installing it. They are professional.

They were lousy. They were good until I told them that I was changing from oil to gas and then they got real smart with me. Then they charged me for removing the oil that was in my tank. Plus they charged me for every gallon that was in there. To me that was a big rip off. I have no use for them. I had to call them a couple of times because they were cheating me. They were not being honest with me. They came out quickly to get the oil out of the tank and I thought that was nice but I was being fooled because when I got the paper work, I found out they charged me for taking out the oil and then for every gallon they took out. They were crooked.
Description of Work: It was acting funny and I wanted them to come out and fix it. I had a problem with that so I just changed over to gas.

Hi [Member name removed], We thank you very much for this feedback, and apologize for not reaching your expectations. It is always our goal to satisfy our customers to the best of our ability. I did research your account to ensure we did everything within our standard practices back in 2013 when you converted from Oil to Gas. I see where we refunded your credit balance on your account in the amount of $676.37, $454.11 of that was a credit from the fuel we pumped out of your tank. Our standard pump fee is $100, due to the expense it does take to pump a tank, (Man hours, truck expense, etc). This is the only fee that was associated to the pump out. I also see where you were a great customer, and earned interest on the credit balance that you kept with Berico. Furthermore, I feel it is important to point out that we often convert customers from Oil to Gas with our own HVAC department and have no bias to what makes a customer more comfortable. I am deeply sorry that you feel that is how we handled ourselves. If there is anything we can do to repair your trust in our company, please feel free to contact me directly at 336-273-8663. Sincerely, Will Berry

They do an excellent job. We don't have any problem. They're professional and courteous. They took care of the stuff in a timely manner. We would call them back and they're the only one who solved it. They told us right on the top when they would come. They told us what part we had to get. They showed us in the catalogue how much it would cost; he was very informative. It was a good price; you get what you paid for. They were here when they said they would be here.

They were wonderful. They have a plan where you could pay in advance and it was very reasonable. If anything really bad went wrong they could come out. They even have to come out on Christmas day and repaired the furnace. They replaced as many parts as they needed to and spent as much time as they needed to. I can't say enough good about them. But we finally got rid of the old oil furnace. The last three years we've got a wonderful gas furnace but they weren't carrying the brand that we wanted so we got another company to install it for us. When the warranty runs out I would trust Berico to come out and service our furnace. They really went above and beyond every time they had to come out. Sometimes when they come out they probably have to replace close to a $1000 worth of stuff because it was an old furnace but they did not charge us extra for labor or parts. It was much to our benefit to always buy that year contract for service. They could have made a lot more money if they didn't offer that contract but they did. We always appreciated that because we always end up needing it. We were using another oil company and

It turned out fine. I honestly believe their commercial on TV. They knew what they were doing and they did a good job. They even installed it in the room so that I could have the air conditioning. So far I?m pleased. I only have one negative and that is when they finished their work, they never came back to check the temperature and things like that. It?s kind of they sold the product, installed it and run. They never came in to see how cool the house was or anything like that and I thought that they could have done that. They did not follow up their work.

They are fine. We have used them since we moved here about 16 years ago so we have an established relationship. They have always been prompt. We know the service man. He is always friendly and efficient. We haven't had any problem with them at all. They weren't successful in getting out our very own firewall when we called them and we had to go elsewhere for that, but that was no huge problem. I don't know if their price is any different from anybody else. We were kind of disappointed. They made a couple of trips out and started the fire, but it didn't last so there was a problem that was never resolved. It was costing $85 for the man to come out. After 2 times, my husband stopped in to a local place that sold propane and the old gentleman there was extremely kind and helpful, and walked him through the process. He even offered to come out, and we were most appreciative so we didn't bother anymore about that. The kind of service that we normally have don't have any schedule except that it would be within a couple of days or that we are the very far end of their route, maybe even they wouldn't say. They would say as soon as possible. Sometimes it could be the very same day. My husband was so appreciative of this gentleman and impressed with the fact that he was so willing that I think maybe we'll have the propane delivered by them in the future, but that's not for sure. Another reason for that is we are at the very far end of their service area. They are out of Eden now. When we started they were in Reidsville so it was about 12 miles. Reidsville and Eden add another 10 miles whereas the company where my husband went for help with the firewall is about 6 miles from here. He hasn't formally made that decision yet and probably won't until fall comes and we may need to fill the tank again.
Description of Work: Berico Fuels filled up the propane tank which was about 80 gallons.

I was not really impressed with the guy that came out here. When he was finished and I have his paperwork, he said not to pay attention to the paperwork and that they just did it to fill it out so I could buy more services. It was more the guy that was here to do the work. He didn’t find anything with the furnace and a/c. I probably would not recommend him. I’m real cautious about recommending anything to people. I wouldn’t recommend unless they were top-notch. He just talked to me after work. I understood everything that he went over with me. I didn’t have any issues with my system.

We had another company (Seagraves in Eden NC) install our central heating/air system last summer. HUGE MISTAKE!!!! Not only did they not install it correctly, when it came time for the final home inspection (we purchased an older home which required some major renovations) their work was so bad that the inspector said he should report SEAGRAVES to the licensing board. The inspector informed us that their job is to verify that A contractor has done the minimum in requirements. SEAGRAVES barely met that minimum. This is how it started and has been downhill from there. BERICO to the rescue. Seagraves claimed they fixed all the problems, but lets just say our heating system performs far from perfect. So we got tired of dealing with SEAGRAVES and called BERICO. Their guys were professional and came in behind Seagraves and at least made it possible for us to stay in the house instead of having to check into a motel( move is was January 2015 with a low of 20 degrees). They also fixed our gas logs. Something SEAGRAVES techs could also not do. One tech was nice enough to put in writing all the things that were installed incorrectly by SEAGRAVES. He then advised my husband and I to call him if we needed anything else. Needless to say I will call BERICO and only BERICO if anything goes wrong with our heating/air system. A really sad note is that we wont know how the central air will perform until the summer. As far as I am concerned I would much prefer for SEAGRAVES to come and get their entire system, give me a full refund, and forget they even know my name. I would then hire BERICO with absolutely no reservations to do the job right! If anyone asks me for my opinion I will gladly say run to BERICO as quickly as you can if you want superb service and knowledgeable techs to install or repair your heating/air, but run as quickly as you can in the opposite direction if anyone dares to suggest you call SEAGRAVES. BERICO is nothing but class and outstanding service all the way! Straight A's in every category.

Furnace went out on Monday morning. The technician was at our home almost daily, but the furnace wasn't working again until Saturday. When he left on Friday, he said he'd be back "first thing" Saturday. However, he didn't arrive until 3:00 and didn't call to let us know. We called Saturday morning to see where he was and were told "working on emergencies." Our furnace had been out for days, but we weren't an emergency?! When he left Saturday (with furnace working), he said he'd return Monday with a part he preferred to one he'd used. If he ever came back, we didn't see him. We had previously received incredible service during an installation -- with great communication throughout -- so this experience was a great disappointment!

[Member name removed], Our Service Manager and I have reviewed your situation and completely understand your frustration. We are incredibly sorry for the delayed repairs on your situation. I'm not sure if explanation is helpful at this point but I will recap some. In the end, if you want to discuss anything further, I'm certainly willing to speak with you. 336-273-8663. The unfortunate part of your call is that it was a series of mis-haps that are not typical. For example, when ordering a control board, our supplier sent the wrong board initially. Then, upon making the correct control board repair, water got into the pressure switches, which added to the delay. Then, there was some miscommunication regarding our arrival time. After speaking with our technician, he did not recall issuing an arrival time since our dispatcher handles the scheduling; but in the end we recognize your point of view. We are extremely sorry for this experience, and made sure you were not charged for any extra time or pressure switch repairs. We look forward to regaining your trust. Again, if there is anything else we can do, or if you want to discuss further, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Will Berry

They came for our annual service. They come when they said they were going to come. They did the job and left. My family has worked with Berico for several decades for different services. They've been very responsive. I can't say enough good things about them. My air conditioner that was installed by someone else broke. I called Berico. I wasn't there. I gave them my key. They came. Later, one of the workers who brought me my fuel asked who installed my new air conditioner. The workman said he'd never seen work so well done. Long story short, I'm very happy with Berico. I don't think you could go wrong using them.
