The technician Ben was great. Very thorough and explained things as he went along and also kept me updated with pricing.
Description of Work: My AC wouldn’t come on but after talking to the office they told me to turn the breaker off and on so I did that a few times and it finally kicked in. When the technician came to check it out I needed a capacitor which was replaced on the spot. The job was completed most efficiently.

The company could not have been more reliable. Estimate was thorough and detailed, installers were prompt, neat, professional, and considerate. They took time to explain all equipment to us. Follow-up inspection was timely and identified two issues needing correction, and that work was immediately addressed and completed.

My boiler died on a Thursday morning the first time I tried turning it on for the cold weather this year. I called John Betlem that morning and they were able to get someone out to give me an estimate the same day and then schedule an install for the following Tuesday. A friend had them install a furnace last year and only had good things to say about them. The guys showed up when they said they would and were very professional and friendly. They worked very diligently at my project that took most of the day. They did a great job and everything was clean when they were finished. They also took the time to explain everything well and answer all my questions.
Description of Work: I had my 30 yr old boiler replaced.

I have a service contract and we use them for the air conditioning and the furnace. They have an inspection that they follow. They checked it out and cleaned up the air conditioning on the outside and off they went. They're just on time and they're very personable. They come in and do the job and take off. They do an excellent job. It's just a good company, that's all. I looked at various other companies when I had the furnace put in. It sounds like I'm on their payroll, but it's true!

Good, clear explanation of what was available and what to expect during installation. Professional crew who worked well together - they had a tight space to work in since we have a finished basement, and were very careful to do the removal of the old equipment and installation of the new without any damage to the finished basement. They explained the operation of the new equipment clearly and made sure it was working properly - they followed up a few days later to make sure all was well. We are very pleased, and are happy to recommend them.

It’s part of the warranty, but I did have to pay for a filter and a part. My contract is $150 for twice. The filter was $61.03 & then the capacitor, the whole thing was $139.96. One worker came. He was professional, informative and impressive. Left area clean. Graded “B” overall, because of the price. That was a little more than I expected.
Description of Work: I used Betlem. They checked out my heater/furnace. It was time for a yearly check.

I was very pleased with the whole process. I vetted four other contractors, all offering about the same product, High Efficiency, Variable speed. But my salesman, Jason, was really patient with me as it took me several weeks before I made my decision. I did about 20 hours of research, on the contractors ( Reputable names, you would know), the make and model of the furnace and also the cost factors. I had an Energy audit done by John Betlam and that went well. But they were the only contractor to mention the NYSERDA program and I qualified for some funding. That was a huge bonus!! I started my search in August and finally made my decision by the end of September. I chose October 12 for the date of the installation, and the weather was still mild. Everything went smoothly with the install. They arrived at 8:00. I received a confirmation call the day before and both installers ar Lanny and Jeff., arrived promptly. They were professional, and explained everything as they went along. I had a good experience with John Betlam and would highly recommend them to family and friends. Their long standing reputation and trusted name were two more reasons I chose this company,
Description of Work: They removed old heating and cooling system from my home built in 1989 and replaced with a new Carrier Infinity H E 2 stage, variable speed furnace and new A/C. I love my new furnace. I won't know until the summer, how the Air conditioner will cool my home, but I am very happy with how warm and comfortable my home feels. I already see a difference in my RGE bills.

These installers were efficient, affable, familiar with the work, got it all done in one day. There's one small detail which I need to have them change, a detail I should have dealt with that day. Once it's done, I'll remove this sentence. I love this company and will always use them for any A/C or heating issues. I've used them for 15 years and appreciate their professionalism. They hire quality people. The salesman I've dealt with on two occasions (gas fireplace and this installation) explains things clearly and is very professional in his approach.
