Everything went great. David T was very knowledgeable, explained everything thoroughly, and was very professional. After working with so many dishonest heating and air companies, it was nice to finally have a company be honest with me.

While trying to bring back up the old HVAC system, the technician said that it was leaking refrigerant and that it was probably time to get a new system. He contacted Drew, an Air Expert sales rep, even though it was Sunday. Drew got back to us within the hour, and arrived a short time later. He examined our house, from attic to crawl space, aware that we had had problems previously with the air handler drain pan getting stopped up. He suggested modifications to the pipe in the crawl space and proposed that the new handler in the attic be elevated. Drew said the old HVAC system was slightly underpowered for our home's heating and cooling needs, and he showed us the range of options for a new system, priced them, and we agreed on one. He arranged for a crew to install it the very next day. The two installers did a terrific job -- despite the difficulty of removing the old air handler from the attic through a small entryway and down a narrow ladder, and bringing the new system components up the same way. The new HVAC works much better than the old one. We heard a strange noise when it was shutting down the other night, and I called Air Experts. They sent a man out the next morning, and he went over the new system. We never did find the noise source, but he suggested recording it if we had a chance to do so. The Town of Cary inspector came out the following day and gave the new system his seal of approval.
Description of Work: A new HVAC system to replace our 14-year-old one, which had conked out.

The proposal was a disaster and no work was performed.
Description of Work: Asked for an estimate for a replacement HVAC system. Sales person came to house and discussed a 2-zone system and followed up with a proposal. Talking with two other bidders, I learned that the proposed system would not work. There were too many automatic dampers proposed. I informed the sales person, Scott Porter, who promised to propose a workable system. I never heard from him after that. I am very disappointed with this company which is rated highly by Angie's List

With 4 different 'experts' coming to my home over 5 different days (5 days of me not having air conditioning during summer), it ended up costing more money since the first guy blew a lot of liquid around trying to clean something in my crawlspace, ended up shorting out the blower which i had to pay to fix. The actual problem ended up that the emergency heat elements were permanently on, and needed to be fixed. But in the end I spent a lot of time without A/C and spent a lot of money replacing a blower that wasn't the issue in the first place. The 4th guy to come actually figured out what was wrong, but it was ridiculous what I had to go through to finally get someone competent enough to figure out what was wrong.
Description of Work: My air conditioner was working, but not blowing cold air.

Old stuff was hauled away. Cleanup was almost perfect. The AC is quiet. The furnace is warm and the fan is a variable speed which keeps the house air moving at a lower speed after the furnace shuts down to move the warm air continually. A great job by sales and installation. There was one issue that developed. The hot water heater gas supply was after the furnace. When the gas to the furnace was turned off for the replacement, it killed the pilot light on the hot water heater. I had to call them to come back and light the pilot light. No big deal...an honest mistake.
Description of Work: Our system was almost 20 years old. We had limped through this past summer fine after a service call by Air Experts for the AC unit last year. The service rep suggested that the best time to upgrade was in the fall when normal business demands are lower. We called Air Experts for an estimate and the rep was there in just a few days. He investigated what we had presently installed. He asked all the questions he needed to provide us with the size of unit we needed for our type of house. He did not recommend the most costly, only what we needed. He showed us the total product line and permitted us to ask questions about each unit. We decided it would be to our benefit to move up to the next higher SEER unit as we felt the unit would not have to work as hard at an additional cost of $1200. There were more rebates for the more expensive unit. He told us that with today's technology, the upgrade was not necessary but we stayed with our decision. We could also have chosen a cheaper unit. We signed a contact to have the furnace (gas) and AC replaced as a matched unit. He told us it could be done in one day. They used the same ducting that our house had previously installed. He called the office. They had the equipment in stock. The job was scheduled for the next day. They were finished by 1 PM. He recommended a thermostat replacement that is internet capable through our wireless network. We can set the temperature to a more efficient value when we leave for a day or ??. When we are ready to come home, we can connect to the thermostat via a mobile app and set the schedule back to normal so the house will be comfortable when we arrive back to our home. We love this. We had scheduled for another dealer estimate. We had made our decision. We called and canceled that one.

Our 15+ year-old upstairs AC unit died, and we had several companies come out to quote. Scott from Air Experts was extremely informative, patient and very plain-talk in his approach, which was very appreciated. We got a great price and they were able to come out immediately to get the work done. The crew was also awesome - very careful about our house, very polite and very efficient. They came exactly when they said they would, finished early and left zero traces of the day's work, other than a perfectly-functioning new unit) :). I'd definitely recommend them! A+ from me.

I could not have been more pleased with Air Experts Heating & Cooling, as usual. The service techs (in this case, David), have all been very professional, congenial, and thorough. David answered all my questions--even the ones that I did not know to ask. I found Air Experts Heating & Cooling through Angie's List, and have been more than satisfied with the work they have done for me. I will and have recommended Air Experts Heating & Cooling to friends and neighbors.

I feel other older people are being taken advantage of. Please advise as to how you plan to protect your customers. I first recommend that you check employees out.
Description of Work: Unit was not cooling. Called Air Experts after seeing them recommended on Angie's List. I purchased the diagnostic offer for $39.00. Tech arrived on time. I confirmed with him the charge of $39.00 for a diagnostic. He agreed. He stated unit was just 2 pounds low. I asked how much per pound. Cost was $161.00 per pound. I was stunned. I told him I had 12 heat and air units and I have never paid over $90 per pound and that included the labor and trip charge. Coolant normally cost $40-$50 per pound. My renter was miserable, she has 2 small kids and she had been on a plane all night and needed to rest prior to going to work. I shared my disgust with this act of overcharging/pricegouging. I told him to do it in order to help my renter and secure in the feeling it was fixed. He then stated that I needed a capacitor replaced due to rust. That would be $197.00. I told him I would do that later, most likely next month. I later found out that item only cost $25-36.00 He then stated that he needed to deice unit in order to put coolant in unit. He said that would be another $124.00. He then told me I needed a another piece replaced and that would be $325.00. I told him no. As I wrote the check he stated that I might have to replace the whole unit. I looked at him and realized I was dealing with a corrupt business. He then handed me paperwork that stated they do not recommend any of this work be done due to age and cost. Not once did he make that comment to me during his repair. I was charged $485.00 for a diagnostic and repair that did not last 24 hours. If I had purchased the other items my total bill would have been $1,007 and it did not last overnight. I ended up replacing unit with another vendor who stated I got screwed.

It was a bit of a trial. The installers who put the system in were bare-bones. They could not answer questions or address concerns without speaking to a supervisor. Were not given tools or parts to handle the installation based on the requirements of the contract. Salesperson made unauthorized changes to the quote prior to execution. Removed items from the quote without duly notifying about their removal. Took two visits from a senior installer to make things right. That senior installer was by-far the best person I had worked with. Made the best out of bad situation, was friendly and knowledgeable.
