Central Carolina Air Conditioning Company Inc Central Carolina Air Conditioning, looked at my air conditioner and was going to charge me a whole lot of money to replace it. The guy didn't want to do the work it took to fix it, he just wanted to sale me a brand new one, and never gave me any options. At the time I only had one income coming in and couldn't afford it so I got a second opinion. On the second opinion, the guy fixed the problem, and didn't try to sale me a new unit. Central Carolina Air, kept calling me trying to get me to sign a service agreement with them, I told them they had already charged me for doing nothing and about what had happened. I felt like they were just trying to make more money from me, they never called me back, and they didn't care about what had happened. I have worked in customer service for many years and I said they have bad customer service and didn't care about making their customer happy at all. It took longer to get my air back on because of this and it was a hot summer. I was very disappointed in them!
Description of Work: Central Carolina Air Conditioning Company Inc I used Central Carolina Air Conditioning, to check my air conditioning system. It was in the hot summer.

The men who installed came just when they said they would and immediately checked to make sure the salesman had told me it would probably take 2 days to do the work, He had and it did! There were modifications that need to be made as far as clearance and ductwork to make the unit inspection compliant. They were very nice and cleaned up beautifully ( a hallmark of this company's service). The unit passed all inspections easily.
Description of Work: CCA replaced a 20 year old heat pump with a new one. I purchased the middle grade unit and upgraded to a larger (3 ton) size. The salesman figured every discount and energy rebate available! I have the greatest confidence in this company. Their people are always pleasant and efficient. I have a service contract with them for heating and cooling.

We have a contract with them and we see them twice a year. We pay about $200 per year. They are polite, knowledgeable and quick. They don't leave a mess; they clean up after themselves. We've always have a good experience with them.
Description of Work: We used Central Carolina to check all the systems and clean them for the maintenance. They made sure that everything was in order and changed the filter.

Technician Jason Hayes (a really nice guy!), immediately identified the problem and source of a loud noise the day before. He called the company who made the unit, went and picked it up and installed it right away. We were grateful as the outside weather was really cold! Jason is very professional and personable. He always wears booties in the house (as do all the people from Central Carolina) and I never mind having them work inside or outside my home.

The service person came out the next day; very prompt, professional, and courteous (even wore shoe covering in the house!). The unit is 30 years old and presented a number of unusual problems for service. He ended up working on it half a day and calling in for special problems. He explained what he was doing every step of the way. While he suggested getting a new unit, there was absolutely no pressure. The air works great now and I'm happy to say we will use this service again when needed.

New parts had to be ordered to replace defective Lennox factory equipment immediately after installation. Those took six weeks to arrive and be replaced. Technicians needed months to resolve other concerns like intermittent loud noises in the middle of the night (which still are happening occasionally) and noxious fumes throughout the house. Taping all the joints with better tape resolved the bad smells. It seems the tape they originally used was not top quality. Most recently (Jan 2010) I was concerned that an estimate given for some non-emergency plumbing repairs was four times the estimate of a second reputable company. I would recommend getting a second opinion before signing a contract with this company.
Description of Work: Installed new Lennox 2 Smart Gas Furnace, Heat Pump, 40 gallon water heater and digital thermostat.

They are awesome. They might be a little more high priced, but they do know what they are doing. They even wear the little booties over their shoes when they come in the door, so as not to get any flooring dirty. My wife feels comfortable around them when they are here, so I do not have to be here.
Description of Work: We have a maintenance contract with them. That cost is for a year. They come out in the spring to set it up for air conditioning and they come in the fall to set it up for winter. If you call them for something else, you save on the service call.

Description of Work: We have an annual maintenance contract with CC Air - they come out twice a year to maintain the furnace and A/C. They are reliable and courteous. We've contacted them on two occasions for emergency service - this is when the annual contract really pays for itself.

Called another company first (see my reviews). They didn't show for 2 hours. Called this company. Serviceman out in 30 minute. Fixed 15 minutes later. Courteous, helpful. Funny, sympathetic. Really nice experience. I signed up for a service contract with them to make sure my HVAC stayed functional. No complaints, and service at 9pm!

We were contracted with Central Carolina for 9 years. In the summer of 2004 (6th year of contract) we called to report a buzzing noise from the attic. A day or 2 later, they replaced a transformer in the attic unit. The buzzing noise began almost immediately after he said it was fixed and had installed a new transformer. I caught him outside right before he left and SAID the buzzing started again. He went back in the attic and said that it is NOT the transformer, but something wrong with the humidifier. I actually had no idea there was a humidifier. At that point, I asked what we should do? He said we could replace it or just turn it off. I told him to turn it off in the long run it should have been disassembled.) We thought we had a humidifier that was not functioning properly. They continued to service us with the annual contract. Between 2004 to 2007, I started to develop hives and rashes as well as sinus congestion on a regular business. My husband had reoccurring sinus infection and overwhelming fatigue for both of us that gradually became worse. The fall of 2006 we realized something serious was wrong because we started noticing an unusual odor in the house. I developed and continued an increased nauseous and vomiting feeling. My husband also suffered a mild heart attack during this period as well. March of 2007 a technician came to renew our contract for that following year and to do the spring preventative maintenance. I told him what had been going on with us and our home. I mentioned that my husband and I were quite ill and I thought something in our house was making us sick. I asked him if he thought we should add any additional filtration to our system or anything he could think of to help the air quality in our house. He told us he would first check out some things. He went to the attic. A few moments (less than 10 min) he came down with a 5 x 15 in inch filter 1/2 inch thick loaded with mold. Black and other colors, but lots and lots of black. The technician showed it to me and also reported that the first 6 feet of our duct work looked the same as our filter. When I looked at the filter I noticed there was mold. The tech said that he wasn't supposed to use the term "mold", but he conquered that it was. In regards to the humidifier and mold in connection with the A/C, I didn't understand why he found the mold filter in the humidifier because it had been turned off in 2004. He told us that just because the humidifier had been turned off, all air was still flowing through the humidifier vents. He dis-attached the humidifier and taped it up. He also told me a man named Jerry would come the next day to talk to us about replacing the system or anything else he could do. Tech said his hands were tied. I did not want Jerry to come out and talk about a new unit because I was so blown away that this had happened and didn't trust the company anymore. After all the years of services and trusting this company no one ever looked.
Description of Work: They had serviced our A/C unit for many years and they made a very very serious mistake with our unit and home.

The job supervisor was very professional and provided several options to meet our needs. The installation crew went above and beyond our expectations. Their warranty is excellent, and their follow-up maintenance crews are also efficient and professional. Central Carolina Air is the real deal if you want those old-fashioned concepts of personal service, efficiency, and competence. They walk the walk and do what they say they will do. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. If Angie's List had an A+ grade I would give it to them!

They were always responsive and conscientious. One of the things I liked was that they wore booties inside my home, which I thought showed a lot of respect for my property. The units work fine. The men were polite, professional, and they also came when they said they would. The price was just a little high, but we got results.

They are great with my yearly contract as I get emergency service free in case something goes wrong, they come straight out. The crew that they sent out was very clean and respectful. Every time they come they are on time and they send me a reminder every 6 months to let me know it is time to service the units.
