Description of Work: The technician, Rudy, was extremely personable and friendly. Even my dog fell in love with him! The office called to see if he could come early, over an hour before his scheduled time. He was thorough and fastidious. No issues were found

The GM came out in a timely manner, however we still have not received a quote. I have made numerous calls. I also received one call last week that explained the initial delay was due a change in promotions and that the quote would be available by Thursday of last week. I followed-up with two additional, and still no quote. We would like a Lennox AC unit, but we may end up with another brand.
Description of Work: No service performed. After the 3/14 appointment, we still do not have a quote.

The old tank hot water heater broke. Got three estimates. Charles Heating and Plumbing was the lowest estimate, but they were honest with the price and what was needed. Took 6 hours to do the work. Paid at the end.
Description of Work: Installed a new hot water tankless heater and upgraded the gas lines to the furnace and the new hot water heater. I had gotten 3 estimates that ranged from 2475.00 to 3495.00 Their price was the best and they did the best job of explaining what they were going to do!.

The sales person was very knowledgeable, personable and informative. He gave us estimates on a few Lennox furnaces at different price points and efficiencies. The installation guys were on time and professional. They thoroughly discarded all debris from the old furnace, humidifier, and air conditioner. Clean, neat and dependable.

We moved in recently and need a furnace inspection. We called and set up an appointment in December because we were told there was a discount. The tech arrived promptly and seemed to know what he was doing. He answered many of my questions and even turned up the fan speed for me. I was very pleased with this experience and am considering getting a contract with the company.
Description of Work: Very pleasant first experience.

Their prices were too high. They weren't able to fix the furnace; there is a crack in it. They were fast and they got here right away but they were just too pricey and they kept calling for the money. The service was good and they were punctual.

First time servicing - as the new owner Did furnace service - found that the humidifier had never worked even though the previous service company had for years checked it off as working - the technician discovered that the water line tap had never punctured so it never could have worked and there was no sensor on the air duct to measure the humidity levels. The expense thermostat with the touch screen controls and multiple settings was not working and was overkill as the furnace was a simple one stage setup. Overall I am very pleased with Charles Heating. I almost hired the previous owners company who obviously had been ripping them off. Charles Heating was well qualified, knew what they were doing and did it right the first time. Highly recommend

They were on time, professional, explained in detail what was going to happen.
Description of Work: Cleaned all the ducts and cold air returns in the house and cleaned the furnace. They did a fabulous job and what a difference having the duct worked cleaned makes. I am very pleased with the work. Since it was a year ago, I am unsure of how much I spent I know it was a few hundred dollars. I highly recommend the company,

Plumber was great, only one who ever realized that the previous installation was done incorrectly.
Description of Work: Had a toilet that kept running, they replaced the inside. This plumber discovered that whoever installed the last repair years ago had incorrectly connected part of it, that's why we always had a problem with it. While he was here, he also fixed my shower head at no charge. The plumbing division of Charles One Hour is actually called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing

They are my regular heating and A/C guys. They have been doing it for years. They do fine with the checks. They had installed the furnace and air-conditioning for me. I have no complaints with them. They are good. I am on a contract with them. I spend $20.00 a month roughly so I think it is $200.00 plus a year. I just don't have any problems. They catch my problems before I have problems. Overall, they are excellent. I don't know about the price because I have not compared them to anybody, but I think they are okay. One time I did have a response time problem with them, but they resolved it.
Description of Work: Charles Heating and Air-conditioning does the spring and fall checks on my heating and air-conditioning. I have them come twice a year and do the service.

He did a great job. He came out and diagnosed the problem, and came back the following Monday with a part. They have a flat rate system for payment. He seemed to be very knowledgeable. He took his time in diagnosing the problem. His pricing was pretty straightforward and fair. It included the price of the part plus taxes. It also came with a contract that they would service the furnace for the next year. I signed up a contract with them. The job went very well. I was pretty happy with Charles Heating and Plumbing.

We were appalled at being mislead and paid the bill under protest. We will never have this company on our property again. We would hope that other consumers could be saved this expensive mistake.
Description of Work: Having bought an older house with a HVAC system over 20 years old, we expected problems with the system. Calling Charles "One Hour" Heating and Air, I spoke with Sandy, made an appointment, and was told the service call fee would be $69. The mechanic, Lou, performed a cursory inspection and recommended replacement. He then handed my husband a bill for $181.44. Apparently, the $69 was to ring our doorbell, and the additional $99 was the "inspection".

I guess it's good that we had the air ducts cleaned, but it was unnecessary. Overall, the work did not fix anything and we had to buy space heaters.
Description of Work: The air ducts were cleaned out but to no avail! We had no heat, and cleaning the air ducts did nothing but we had to pay for it regardless.
