They came out to check the job and they said they couldn't do it so I had to get the money refunded. They came out within a couple of days of when I purchased it. When we called to get them out it seemed to be difficult. The pricing was good just the fact that they couldn't complete the job but refunded though. They didn't do what was advertised and it was a time sensitive thing but for pricing alone it was fair. They gave us a refund, their secretary was actually trying to work with us so I will give them an A for professionalism.

He got back to us quickly, showed up on time, and seened to have good expertise. He quoted a price for replacing the air conditioning unit which was very high. We got a few more estimates and ended up going with someone else based on the price. But if you have any issues you want diagnosed, they were good.

See above comment. The business owner has since reached out to me and apologized for my experience. I received a full refund as a result. Because of their prompt response and remedy, I have since revised their overall rating.
Description of Work: The provider performed spring service for my HVAC system. He indicated that he found water in the drain pan under the furnace which is located in my attic and suspected a possible problem with the "evaporator coil". He suggested that I schedule another appt. to have that addressed. |Ultimately, I determined that problem did not exist but a broken elbow vent leading to humidifier was never mentioned. It was fixed by someone else. |I cannot prove that this was done on purpose but I am not comfortable using them in the future. |

Great Service. Technician was prompt and called in advance as requested. John took the time to explain the issues to me and answer all my many questions, even more general ones I had about airflow and climate control in my home. Phone operator was really friendly and helpful too. Would use these guys again in the future for sure.

The tech was responsive & professional. I guess my gripe is the billing model most service companies use, i.e. The mark up on parts is anywhere from 300-500%. The tech diagnosed that the thermostat and the motherboard to our homes upstairs central air unit was broken and needed replacement. He quoted $350 for a thermostat as "that's the pricing were given for this part" and $750 for the motherboard with a similar response. Then i would need to pay for labor. I believe in paying for expertise and quality but when i can get a honeywell thermostat from HD for $69 and found the exact same motherboard online for $183, i decided to do the work myself. IF i was a little more handy or had a little more time (there are you tube videos on everything) i could have just replaced the relay to the fan motor for $8 instead of the entire motherboard. This means that someone with basic system knowledge, a little motivation and time could make a $1300 repair for under a $100. There has got to be some middle ground. I just felt like so many things these days that my dollar wasn't going as far as i'd like and someone was making a tremendous profit on my back.

This is to advise you that our mark up and parts are no where near 300-500%. It seems like there was a lack of communication in this situation. For whatever part we played in that please except our apologies. The installed price for a thermostat is $245.00. This includes not only the cost of material but the cost of labor and a service warranty. We don't have a definitive evaluation of the $750.00 for a mother board but clear cut what ever we quoted included the labor to install as well as the service warranty. We have been in business for over 47 years and have to admit that it can be mind boggling the cost to run a service business today. But one of the important considerations always is to have an ethical and professional operation that provides value to the customer. That is our goal.

Response from Valairco
First of all please except our apologies for appearing to be arrogant and unprofessional to you. As you can see from other reviews Valairco prides itself in being professional and responding to the needs of our customers professionally and expeditiously. It was clearly not our intention to indicate that your wife was a lair. After reviewing the service tickets for the last few years it was initially confusing as to the ratings that you have indicated. Our pricing is very fair and quite competitive. Your wife was very complimentary about the recent inspection that was performed. I would also like to make the point that the filter is only replaced when the inspection dictates that it is time to do so. We see a great variation in this depending on the area and just how the system is utilized. The filter in your system was inspected at each inspection and changed in the most recent inspection. All items shown on the check list were completed as shown. I hope that we might be able to renew your faith in Valairco in the future. In addition having nothing to do with the above there is an amount due that you owe for last years service program.

I contacted Valairco Inc through Angieslist on 7/27/2015 at 11am for a diagnostic of my mothers Air Conditioning. I stated in my request that my mother has a lung condition, and we needed help as soon as possible. They called me back within the hour, and had someone at the house later that day. The technician found that the coils were frozen solid, and they were unable to further diagnose until the coils had thawed. They came back at 8am 7/28/2015, and determined the system needed 2 lbs of Freon. They performed this service and deducted the original diagnostic cost from the final price. Cold air is now circulating through the house, and I could not be happier. My mother reported that they were polite and courteous, and explained things to her so she knew exactly what was going on. I would definitely recommend Valairco Inc to friends in the area. If I had central air in my own house I would definitely use them personally.

Thank you very much for your review. The $89.95 tune up and maintenance that we preformed will go a long way to extend the life of your equipment. I read an article recently in which it indicated that air conditioning equipment that is tuned up and maintained at least once a year it's life span increases by 15-20%.

The approximate cost of service includes both the Angie's list deal of $59.95 and work to replace the air-conditioning unit. During the week of June 14, 2015, my central air-conditioning quit. I went out to Angie's List. I found a deal for inspection and service of my air conditioner. We made an appointment with John for the next day; he came when he said he would. John discovered that the outside air conditioning compressor and a burned out motor, due to the failure of the cooling fan. He advised me that since the compressor unit had been working for 21 years (6 years past its expected lifespan), it would make more sense to replace the unit rather than mount a new motor in a very old device. I asked for an estimate, put 50% down, and we set up the work for June 23. He warned me that they would have to start in the morning, around 8 AM, and the time slot, depending on the actual condition of my equipment, might go as long as 6 PM. Greg and his helper were the ones who did the work. They called ahead, arrived on time, were extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and professional, and got the job done by 1 PM (including an appropriate break for lunch). The air-conditioning started working immediately and seamlessly, and has been keeping the house call for two weeks so far.
