Every phase of this job was handled very professionally from the office manager taking our initial call and scheduling the job to Rocco the sales rep who gave us plenty of options while not at all being pushy to the installers who put the unit in and made sure it was working perfectly before departing.

We have been using Polar Bear for the past 4 years and have been extremely happy with their service. They have replaced two condensers for us and have maintained our HVAC system. Sean in particular is excellent. Very knowledgeable and responsive. Even comes out on a Sunday.

The installers arrived on time and were finished with the job at the end of the 3rd day, just as they promised. The three people I dealt with for my install were Bill, Bob and Ernie. All of them were friendly and professional, always answering my questions and addressing my concerns. Never making me feel like I am asking stupid questions or that I am bothering them while they were working. They taught me how to check and change the filter. They explained how to properly adjust the dampers if one area is hotter/cooler than it should be. They did a good job cleaning up after themselves, always having protection on the floor under where they were working as well as on the path from the front door to the attic access. They listened to my input and did whatever they could to meet my requests for placement of the thermostat, air handler, outside compressor and routing of ducts and vents, or they explained why they couldn't do that if there was a problem. They did a great job routing the duct work so my attic is still very usable. My initial meeting was with Rocco. He took measurements of my house and of some windows and such. He explained all my options in a very understandable way. Types of air handlers and cooling units. He addressed costs and efficiency. He even helped me with the process of obtaining an interest free loan over 5 years for the install. Since the install I have had quite a few days of temps over 90 degrees and the Air Conditioner has had no problems keeping my home cool. The whole unit is also quite quiet. I am anxious for winter to hit so I can test out the heating part and see how my natural gas bill is impacted. Overall I am very happy with the whole experience. There was a bit of a delay (by over a week actually) in the original scheduling of the install because someone was on vacation and other people in the company were not aware of this (or something like that). The only other minor issue I had was I found about 10 self tapping screws laying in my driveway and on my walkway the day after the install was complete. I didn't get any flat tires from this, but it could have easily been a problem. But these things are so minor compared to the nightmare stories I have heard from friends and neighbors as well as from other reviews (of other companies) on here. I am grateful for the hard work and have enjoyed the comfortable and quiet second half of my summer!
Description of Work: Install a new central Heat and A/C system. This includes installing vents and duct work as the home was previously heated via baseboard heat.

This was a big expense, due to the 15 pounds of Freon that had to be added, at around $90.00 a pound. Polar Bear was responsive and professional the entire process, and genuinely make you feel they want your business, unlike the previously used local heating and cooling company, that I would never use again. The technician went out of his way in explaining what he did, answering all my questions.
Description of Work: Central air conditioning was not working due to a leak in the compressor. All the Freon had escaped. The technician located the leak, made the repair, pressure tested and refilled the unit. He explained in detail everything he had done .He also discovered a hard start had never been installed by a previously used heating and cooling company, though they charged me for one. The unit has never been this quiet since it was installed 7 years ago. It was always noisy, waking us up when it started. Now it's whisper quiet.

Thank you for choosing Polar Bear for this repair, we appreciate your business and that you took the time to leave us this review. I am happy to hear that our technician was able to find a solutions for both the breakdown that prompted your call and the noise issue that had been inconveniencing you for so long! Unfortunately, the price of Freon (R-22 refrigerant) is climbing due to a mandatory phaseout of this environmentally damaging substance. Thank you for your kind words regarding our staff, and we look forward to taking care of your home for many years to come. Sincerely, Joe Cicero, General Manager

The entire crew arrived on time both days that it took to do the job. Each crew member had a specific job or jobs assigned and they started as soon as they arrived. They were all very professional and friendly. They didn't mind answering any questions that I had concerning what they were doing. They cleaned up as they went along inside the house and outside when they were finished. The owner of the Company stopped in to see if everything was going ok and also when the job was finished to check everything.We (my husband and I) were really pleased with their work and would hire them again without giving it a second thought.
Description of Work: We hired the Polar Bear Company to replace our electric baseboard heat with natural gas and central air conditioning. This required grates to be put into the floor in the different rooms and a return in the wall in our foyer, also ducts running under the house in the crawspace to the grates. They installed the heater and air conditioner unit outside because of the lack of space for a heater in the house. They had to go through a wall in the crawspace to hook up the gas, etc. The two ton unit is made to be outside and this saved us giving up any closet space. We discussed this and made the decision for the outside unit when we spoke to the contractor.

The workers arrived on the day they were suppose to and worked for three and a half days continually to complete the job. There were three workers present for most of that time. All of the workers were professional and courteous. They were very careful about damaging or dirtying anything and cleaned up after themselves very well. They accommodated my desires as to placement of equipment and the installation was very professionally done. The system has been in operation for over two months and working well. I would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: I needed a complete heating and AC system and contacted at least seven contractors in the Cape May area. Most all showed up and provided estimates which varied from around $7000 to $12000. Many of the higher estimates were for builders grade equipment. Being a DIY'er I have more knowledge than the average person in analyzing the various estimates and equipment. Polar Bear installs Trane equipment which is considered one of the top brands. In the end my decision was based on the equipment provided, the cost, and the feeling I had about the company. I was not disappointed. The company installed new ducting, a high efficiency Trane XV95 furnace and, AC system.
