We are the largest heating and cooling dealer in southeastern Ohio. Proudly serving Athens and Lancaster and other amazing communities. Specializing in furnaces, air conditioners, fireplaces, gas and wood stoves, geothermal, and generators. We've been your choice for excellent service since 1977. Many heating and cooling companies in Athens and Lancaster Ohio are owned and operated by one man. Though he may have a few helpers to help him install new systems, the servicing of broken down furnaces and air conditioners falls on his shoulders. You can imagine that in the heat of the summer and the coldest days of winter this would be a burden on him. We here at David White Services have 6 experienced, full time dedicated service technicians. That is in addition to our 12 installation technicians.

It was Terrible, Awful, Horrible. The young tech who came probably hadn't seen an oil fired furnace since school, much less worked on one. He didn't have any materials (oil filter or nozzle) and gave a lame excuse that that each truck couldn't carry all those items.(?) He tried to tried to start the furnace without success and said they would come back at another time. He hadn't brought a replacement filter in with him and I had to ask for that and an invoice for the work. I bought the deal and set an appointment for the next day through AL, although it was about 6:30 PM I tried to call to confirm the appointment. Couldn't get an answer. I called early the next day and they hadn't scheduled the appointment, I wasn't asked any questions except to confirm contact info and set a time. I expressed extreme displeasure to the service rep, I haven't heard back from the company yet. It would some kids are running this Circus.

Great. They were professional, friendly and efficient. They even offered us an annual maintenance contract that was very fairly priced, and included the service call retroactively in the contract. Very smart...

Two service techs spent a full day preparing our attic for blowing in R-19 Attic Cat Insulation into our attic to bring the total up to R-38. The techs were very pleasant to work with and did a very good job. Our house was perfectly clean after they finished the job. We are extremely happy with the service we get from David White Services.

Description of Work: The compressor on our heat pump has a lifetime warranty, and it was installed by David White. They wanted 90 for a service call to diagnose the problem, then another 700 to replace the compressor. I felt like I was talking to a used car salesman. Then after they left, I found out they had removed the wiring for the compressor. Would not call them again for any reason.

We pay them an annual maintenance fee of $300. They came out once during the winter when the heat pump was not working and added some coolant. This time a spider had gotten into one of the electrical contacts which prevented electrical power from getting to the compressor. The electrical contactor was replaced at no charge. The HVAC technicians are all friendly and professional.

Response from David White Services Inc
I'm very sorry we did not meet your expectations. We do try to accommodate our do-it-yourself customers who are ordering special order parts even though we are more of an in home service oriented business. We have found that having two locations tied together makes us more flexible and more available to our walk-in customers like yourself. We have been servicing Lancaster from our offices there for more than 30 years and try very hard to take care of our community. I believe in your case we had to order your venting based on your measurements and that there was a slight delay from our vendor in its arrival. I'm sorry you feel the timing or venting didn't work for you. We have recently changed our phone system hours so that we are even more available. We are always trying to be better and your feedback is helpful.

We saw an add in the David White Services news letter that they we now providing duct cleaning services. We called to inquire about the cost and they were able to come the next day to do the duct cleaning. The two service technicians were very pleasant and professional. They removed a lot of dirt from the ducts and left the house very clean. Should have had this done a long time ago.

We have used David White Services for at least ten years and are thoroughly satisfied. Their mechanics are not only very well-trained but are professional, polite (they let my husband watch and ask questions!), and clean. (I love the booties they wear when they come into the house.) They recommend things we can do to cut down on our heating/cooling bills, such as checking our insulation, and covering a/c ducts. They suggested a new, more efficient set-back thermostat and installed it at no cost. If we have questions, they either have or get the answers. We are an older couple in a much-older home. Their annual maintenance program seemed a little expensive when we first signed on but has proven worth every dollar. If we have a problem, they're here. (Since we have been with them, we have had very few problems!)
Description of Work: performed semi-annual maintenance check of heat pump and furnace system on Friday, 8/9. This included installation of a new filter. Spotted a problem with the furnace and returned and installed the necessary part on the following Monday.

The installation jobs have both gone well enough. Jobs were done according to the agreed upon schedule. I don't feel I was oversold on either system. Communication was an issue at several points in the process. Even before the deal was finalized, the salesperson was difficult to contact and somewhat unresponsive. The second system was installed while we were at work. Upon returning home we found the job nearly complete but one vent was not installed at the location called for in the plan and no vent grates were supplied. A bill for the entire amount (less down payment) was discovered sitting on top of the air handler. The bill's terms were Net 10 days. I didn't want to pay until the job was finished and I was leaving for vacation in a couple of days. Getting in touch with someone who could answer my questions about the job was difficult. Once I was able to speak to the installation coordinator, my questions were answered satisfactorily and the job was finished in good time. The vent grate location had been moved because the installers recognized that the planned location would expose ductwork to weather. This was fine with me but didn't jibe with the salesperson's claim that proper vent placement was an exact science not to be left to lower-priced competing HVAC technicians.
Description of Work: Installed a new heat pump in a 400 sq. ft. studio outbuilding. Also installed a heat pump in our 1600 sq. ft. house about eight years ago. The dollar amount listed includes both systems.
