They did a fine job. Their employee was polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. I told him what had happened, the codes I had seen from the furnace after it stopped working and he performed a number of tests on the furnace. He prepared me for the possibility that it might be a rather expensive part but we were pleased to find out it was a much cheaper part - but still not that cheap! That said, I'm not sure if there is ever going to be a time when I think a replacement part for such an item will ever be cheap. Still, they did a great job and our house is warm once again!
Description of Work: Our furnace had stopped working. Their employee came in, assessed what was wrong, which involved the replacement of a part, and fixed the furnace.

While both boilers worked fine last season, and they had never been routinely cleaned, it was fortunate or unfortunate, that one of the boilers failed to fire during the check-up prior to the heating season needs. Unfortunately the quote for service (not yet contracted) to repair seems too high to me. Shopping the part on the internet shows it can be had for under $130, while the quote for install was many times that sum.
Description of Work: Appointment was for seasonal inspection of to gas fired boilers in our home. Turned out service was needed on both units. One was repaired right then. Charge for service/repair, I thought was well above any time and material cost basis for charging, but then again, skill and expertise that I don't have to do it myself is appreciated. Just seems that there is a high margin taken. This margin may be necessary for all the other expenses of the business, which I don't see.

Our central A/C stopped working while we were at work on a very hot day. Came home to a house that was so warm it was nearly unlivable. We gave Farrell Bro's a call and they had someone to our house within an hour, even though it was after hours and we had never used them before. Nick showed up, was extremely fast and professional. He determined the problem and had it fixed within an hour. As far as somewhat emergency situations go, this was one of the best experiences I've had. :)

Purchased an inspection service from Angie's List for my home air conditioning system. Farrell Bros technician inspected entire air conditioning system and found that the coolant gas was 2 lbs low and added it to make the system run more efficiently. He had me verify the weight of his gas cylinder before he added to coolant and after he completed it to verify that the 2 lbs of gas was added to my system. No other problems were found on my system.
Description of Work: Inspection of home central air conditioning system. System found to be low on refrigerant and technician added to system.

My AC stopes working. They were able to come out the same day, troubleshoot the problem and fix the unit. Despite the fact that there was an impeding storm they finished the work, and we have been happily cooling
Description of Work: Upon inspection of the furnace he was able to determine the issue was with the AC unit. He removes the housing and immediately was able to determine the issue to be with the capacitor. He removed and replaced the part, and checked to make sure it was functioning in about 10 minutes.

I purchased the discount coupons @ 1/2 normal price. The next day I received an e-mail describing that units over 8 years old should be replaced. When the service man arrived - the first thing he asked was how old are the units - I told him 8-10 years but he didn't agree. During the service I was advised that one unit was low on refrigerant so I told him to add it. Well after the service my original $118 bill became $262 or the amount of a full price repair. I felt from the beginning that they were looking to make up for the discount and I would not use them again and think carefully before buying another 1/2 off coupon.

Sorry you feel the coupon was not of any value but if you had not had the coupon the repair would have been in the $400.00 to $500.00 range for 2 A/C cleanings and adding refrigerant so looking at it that way you saved almost $200.00 which is a great value! Thank you for your business!

The tech, Pete, called about 10 minutes prior to his arrival which gave me plenty of time to put the dog where he woud not be in the way. Pete got right to work once he arrived. He explained the possible problems and started trouble shooting. Once he found the problem he fixed it quickly (a sensor needed some cleaning) and the heater started functioning properly. I used a coupon from Farrell Bros. available on Angie's List and the repair cost was reduced by 1/3. While Pete was here I asked him about a whole house humidifier. I have wanted one for a long time but my husband said he did not like the idea of "water" in the furnace. Pete explained how the humidifier actually works plus the benefits of it and my husband agreed to have one installed. I purchased the humidifier through a promotion Farrell Bros. and Angie's List. Installation is schedule for this week. I am very happy with my experience with Farrell Bros. and will use them for my routine maintenance in the furture.
Description of Work: My gas furnace stopped working. The furnace would turn on and the blower would turn on and run for about 15-20 seconds and then shut off. We figured there was a bad switch or safety feature that shut off the furnace since the fan would run without the furnace being on.

See above. I was totally satisfied.
Description of Work: My second floor tenant complained that her apartment was cold. I investigated and found the thermostat was calling, tthe circulator was running, the pilot was on, but the gas valve wouldn't open. After investigating the controls I was familiar with I realized I needed help. I called Farrell Bros. who had installed the heating system about a year and a half ago. They caught a technician on his way back to the office and diverted him to my location. The tech arrived about a half hour later and we investigated. Thea tech determined that the electric flue damper was not opening, which prevented the gas valve from opening. The tech opened the flue stack and found a dead bird jamming the damper in the closed position. We removed the bird, and the problem was solved.

I recently moved and wanted to have the furnace serviced before winter. I called Farrell Bros late Thurs afternoon based on all the positive Angie's List reviews, and they were at my house the next day. Chris called ahead of time to let me know he was on his way. He explained what he was doing and looking for as he worked, and I appreciated that. Chris was efficient and professional, and I will definitely use Farrell Bros in the future.
