Description of Work: We had them install a 4-ton 18 SEER Amana air conditioning unit in our home. The process went well & the people who worked at our house were very easy to deal with. They cleaned up as they went, arrived when they said they would come, and were pleasant to deal with. We haven't actually needed to use the AC yet, but I have confidence in the company and the product.

Estimator came to our home and was polite and friendly. We saw that they were offering a one year no interest financing option which appealed to us. When the quote came in there four options, and we picked the option that worked best for us. The day of install came and two workers came and worked hard all day in a VERY hot attic installing the guts of the system. They were polite and answered any questions without hesitation. Also, I asked for an extra vent installed and they were happy to comply. The second day of installation, the electricians came and made the electrical connections. and that was that! They went over the use of the system, and explained some other features. All in all, two days of work, and we had our new central air. Thank God, it was so hot this summer! There were a couple of minor issues, i.e. in our closets where the duct work was routed, the ceiling was damaged (plaster pulled off wall), and there was a small ding or two in the kitchen wall but that was fixed by Speer. Easily the best investment we made in our house so far.
Description of Work: Had central air conditioning installed in our 100+ year old home.

Was very happy with the work they were flexible on the terms of the contract, were always responsive to phone calls and their price was as quoted -- no hidden fees except permit fees which they warned me about. I don't care for contractors that work through salesmen as they do but Kevin was very knowledgable and helpful. They did the generator from soup to nuts no subcontracting as do many of the companies that install generators -- they had the electric and plumbing expertise in house -- and their price was good. They secured all the permits for me including some repeated calls to a recalcitrant building authority in my town and worked with me on an old survey that as a result I did not have to update. I did not have to pay till work was fully completed (except a small deposit) and they secured for me a one-year no-interest loan through their credit card provider. I have already called them again for a quote on central air conditioning work.

Our experience with Speer Air was outstanding!
Description of Work: We had great service from Speer Air over 2 years ago and as a new Angie's List subscriber when I was thinking about what companies stood out in my mind Speer Air was first! We purchased our first home, a foreclosure. The duct work for central AC was there but no unit. After contacting many companies and getting estimates for basically the same unit ranging from $2,500 to $8,000 we decided to wait to install the unit due to the high interest rates the companies were charging for financing. PSE&G was able to offer an installment plan that could be added to our energy but the total cost would have been double what Speer and many other companies wanted to charge so no bargain there.... I called the companies that we received estimates from and explained that since we just purchased the house we could not be trapped into high interest payments and would work on it again the next year. We got a call from the salesperson and they were able to let us put a fair amount down and let us set up a no interest payment plan for 1 year which we gratefully complied with! Speer Air was amazing! The work was quick, the work was professional and they were absolutely wonderful. Luckily, we have not had to have service but I will post back should it occur but I honestly expect we will encounter the same quality, professional service!!!

This was a disaster from beginning to end. Their lack of consideration for courtesy, timeliness, honesty, quality of work etc., warrants me to even think of reporting them to the BBB and the State of NJ Attorney General. I am hoping Carrier will rerate this company, but since they are all independant contractors (now I find that out) there is not much else Carrier can do. UPDATE: July 24, 2015. After the above occurred, Carrier found us a new dealer and we were able to transfer our ten year parts and labor warranty to them. Unfortunately, it has limited coverage. Once, again, due to their extremely poor installation and careless technicians, the new company found a tremendous error in the soldering of the 2009 system which has now cost us almost $3,000 too repair. We had to have the valve replaces, puron readded twice, labor and er charges etc. as of course this is not equipment related and is therefor not covered under the warranty. I am sure Klaus will no doubt be delighted in this fact. I may take it to Court, but don't know if I ever even want to see his face again.l Hoping Karma will take care of him and Speer.
Description of Work: used this company for a new carrier unti in 2008. again in 2010 with a terrible experince. day 1 salesman (Kevin) undersized unit and they had to delay to get correct unit. cut outs in my beautiful tray ceiling in bedroom done uneven because they told me the company "does not supply rulers"--had to be resheetrocked. outside piping for new duct work left opened which allowed mice to enter my attic. owned 24/7 premier golden serivce contract which they never would respond to. spent 3 days with a leak down my side of my house and got no answer from them. finally, they did repair and it leaked again in 3 days due to wrong diagnosis of defective condensor. Leak into my hallway ceiling after a routine service as someone left insulation off. Go 3 days without heat in winter with no response again from company. New unit not cooling any better than old unit. Klaus, one of the owners promises from June to October of this year to fix and never does the rebalance until after I contact Carrier. Final straw, they come to do my routine winter service last month, and they tell me I have only 2 humidifiers to be serviced with the other 3 systems. I told them all 3 heating systems have humidiiers, which I had showed Jeff the previous year as well. Finally, after hearing lots of whispers while Jeff (head of service by the way) is hiding in my closet, that someone had cut the wires on the 3rd humidifier when they did put the new air conditioning unit in because I guess they were too lazy to run their own wires. Again, had to call Carrier to get this repaired as well. Missed many days from work, spent hours on the phone, was told to email Klasu directly only to find out all customers emails head to his spam folder. How this company maintains a gold seal from carrier is unknown to me??? Could go on and retell other issues with them, but can't waste any more of my time. Carrier has be good enough to help me find new and reputable dealer. The other owners of Speer, Craig Thorson and Bill something, won't even pick up a phone to help as well. After spending almost $25,000.00 over the past 3 years with this company it is amazing how they sleep at night.

It went very well. Speer put in the original A/C unit in 1994 (house previously had no A/C) and had provided service throughout the years. For the new unit, the salesman came for an estimate and recommendation and was very professional. When the workmen came to put in the units, they were clean and neat, explained the new workings and adjustments, let me actually see what they were doing when they did the replacement and provided me with all the documentation for the units.
Description of Work: Replace the air condition handler in the attic and the unit outside.

We spent about $7000 and change on that service. We went back to them to replace our air-conditioner and have been very satisfied with their service. We think that their pricing is moderate.
Description of Work: We used Speer Air for 20 years to service our air-conditioner. They installed our initial air-conditioner and the last time we used them was last year and they replaced a central air-conditioner that we had for many years.

My thirty year old furnace was making strange noises and not delivering the forced hot air it was supposed to during the coldest stretch of winter. I called Speer based on recommendations on Angie's and its nearness to my home to diagnose the problem. The tech was there the same day and provided a diagnosis of the problem (a bad blower motor) and reassured me that I could live with it until we could be fitted with a new furnace or repair the old. I was not overly gouged on the diagnostic visit ($95 or so) and the tech was friendly and helpful. He worked with me on a couple of different angles, arranging a quote on the new blower and a visit from sales to map out specs for a replacement furnace. All of this was done super quick. Phil the sales guy arrived same day and was knowledgeable and helpful; he was available for various followup questions after his visit. The initial quote on the new furnace was competitive though not outstanding but Speer was willing to work with me when I provided a lower quote from another strong firm. He also arranged to attach to the agreement one free maintenance visit (after full season's use of new furnace). Since our old failing furnace represented a bit of an emergency, Phil was able to arrange with his scheduler to install new unit within a couple of days. The installers were nice guys and very efficient, taking just half a day to complete work. They warned us that the new furnace would initially burn off storage oils and set off CO and smoke alarms and advised us to open doors and windows. They stayed until that phase was complete and left the place clean, removing old unit.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problem with old furnace; Provided estimate for repair; Provided sales call to spec out and price new furnace; Answered telephone and e-mail follow-up queries; Installed new 80% efficiency single phase furnace / removed old.

They installed the humidifier and so far so good. On the day of the installation it took a bit longer than I thought it would but I am guessing it was because they had some compatibility issues with my old furnace (1975) and replacing the existing humidifier (also 1975). I am very happy with their work and the outcome.

Crew came morning 24 July on time, removed old AC and furnace, installed new ones indoors and out, despite the hot weather. Rather elaborate process, involving vacuum pumps and blow torches. All I could do to help was provide a ventilation fan in cellar. Electricans arrived in afternoon, wired stuff up, put in new circuit breakers, high-tech thermostat ($265) and explained workings (read the manual!) Home now comfortable.
Description of Work: 25-year-old Carrier AC died just before the July heat wave; furnace was 43-year-old GE model. Rick came 9 July, calculated appropriate capacities, quoted $9795 for a high-efficiency (17.5 SEER) Carrier system to replace both (but with $3100 in tax credits and rebates); municipal permits were another $133. Luckily, existing air ducts were adequate. Paid $4900 down payment at once to get on installation queue.

Phil from Speer Air came out and measured my home, and talked me though the options for adding central air to my baseboard hot water heated home. This included running new ductwork throughout my home and installing the new system in the attic. The proposal was in hand that same day, and the prices were less than that of the one other company we had been considering for the job out of the 3 that had come out. Phil designed a system for our house, and within a couple days we made a decision to go with Speed. Our install date was set for within 2 weeks, and on time on the first day, 2 men showed up and went to work. All but 1 duct were run within the walls, and the one that had to go in a closet was due to the way my house was built, and not the installers skill level. Everything was installed neat and clean in about two days, and the electricians came and had me up and running in about an hour. I haven't had any issues with Speer Air or the job they've done, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have central air installed.

We were very happy with this company and would definitely recommend them
Description of Work: Speer Air Installed a new hot air furnace and removed our old unit. My wife and I were quite impressed with this company. The entire staff was customer friendly, reliable and professional. Prior to awarding Speer the job, their salesman submitted 3-4 written proposals allowing us plenty of time to research other sources before making a decision. Additionally, Speer's proposals were straight forward and competitively priced. There was absolutely no pressure to make a decision the choice was ours. Speer encouraged us to ask questions, if we needed clarification.The workers were very respectful of our privacy and used quality parts & materials.The technicians were punctual finishing the installation in less than a day and they cleaned up nicely after the job.
