We have used their annual agreement two years, with three different technicians performing the work. Two of the techs were very thorough and took time to explain all they were doing and why, and potential concerns. These two also took extra effort to service the AprilAire humidifier which had been installed in an awkward and difficult position. I did not feel they were trying to pressure me into purchasing new equipment, but they gave all the information I wanted. They worked carefully and respectfully.
Description of Work: Annual service agreement for furnace and air conditioner.

It was a very pleasant experience. He explained what the problem was and what could be done to fix it. He explained other options that I had available to me. He told me that if what was wrong was what he thought it was, he told me about how much it would cost.
Description of Work: They came out and took a look at my air conditioner and recharged it.

The above cost is for both checks in the year. They don't horse around. They know what the problem is and fix it without adding a bunch of extras and having to come back out.
Description of Work: We've used them for our heating & AC needs for 12 years. They most recently did a semi annual check for us.

Best did not show up the first day they were scheduled. When I called the next day, they blew off the no show and said they could come that day around 4p. I asked for a 1/2 hour notice. They called around 5p and said they were at my house! They neglected to call me 1/2 hour beforehand so I could get home! I said it would take me at least 30 min. to get home since it was so late. When I finally got home, their van was still in my driveway. I went out back, and the service man had ALREADY STARTED WORKING WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR BEING THERE! I was SHOCKED! He did the service, gave me an invoice, but when he called his boss for something else, the boss told him to charge me another $40! I refused to pay more than what was on the invoice since the service man had said it was the standard maintenance fee. The boss YELLED and YELLED at me on the phone! Two months later, someone else inspected my heat pump and said it didn't even look like it was even serviced (the condenser was filthy, etc.)
Description of Work: Best came out to do a fall maintenance check on my heat pump and furnace in November 07. However, I'm doubting whether or not any real maintenance or work was done at all based on the problems I'm now having (ice forming on it, etc.). I had it inspected again by another company and was told it didn't even look like it had even been serviced (the condenser was filthy, etc.).

We called early on a Monday morning for someone to look at our air conditioner unit. The company was able to send a very knowledgeable repairman, Donnie, to fix our unit. He was detailed in his inspection of the air conditioner. He was careful to explain each step to me and answer my question courteously. While within my home, he even put shoe covers over his boots so as not to dirty my floors. Within minutes my unit was pumping cool air again. Choosing this company was the perfect choice for us. I won't hesitate to call them again!
Description of Work: Donnie came to fix my air conditioning unit for the house. He checked the furnace and breaker box for problems, then we moved to the outdoor unit. It was trying to start but couldn't. He determined the capacitor had quit working and needed to be replaced. After replacing the capacitor, Donnie checked for temperature and coolant to determine if there was any other problem.

I was very pleased with their service. They came the same day, I asked them to. Don, the service technician, was very professional and knowledgeable, and fixed the problem very quickly. He also gave us some pointers on keeping our Air Conditioner running properly in the future, and a heads-up on the expected lifetime of our unit for replacement planning. But thankfully, he did not try to sell us a new Air Conditioner. I was also, very pleased to find out that Best Service is a Christian company. They were excellent to work with and I will definitely, use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Diagnosed the problem with our broken York Heat Pump & Air Conditioner. Replaced the Dual Capacitor and confirmed that nothing else was malfunctioning. Checked to see, that we had proper cooling, before leaving.

We have used them in the past. The owner came on a Sunday morning within an hour. The part that he put turned out to be faulty and went again in four or five days when I called he came back within about 20 minutes. There was no charge for the second visit. I felt the price was reasonable.

I had moved into this condo in January and only had the home inspection done before I closed. I signed up for a maintenance agreement with another Angie's List company. When he was checking the furnace, he found I had a cracked heat exchange. Since I had a HomeGard warranty, there were only five heating and cooling companies I could choose from and the one doing the maintenance was not one of them. The owner of Best Service was able to come out the same day and look at the furnace. He was able to work with HomeGard and instead of replacing the heat exchange I was able to get a new furnace. I was also able to get the furnace installed the same week, which was a good thing since the temperatures were going to get down into the forties. The two gentleman who arrived were very nice and went right to work. When they were done, everything was cleaned up and I had a new furnace. They also pointed out something else I should have done and got a quote for me.
Description of Work: Furnace was replaced.

A serviceman came out to assess the damage to my heating and cooling system. The unit was so old, they could not find a model or serial number! They gave me a couple of options, and I chose to have the system replaced. That was on a Friday; two men were at my house at 8 AM on the next Tuesday. They even accommodated my need for the install to completed before the heat of the day. They were leaving just after 12 noon after having tested the unit and explained my new thermostat. The two men were professional and funny and got the work done SO quickly. And cleaned as they went! I am very pleased!

I found that in comparing various leading brands of equipment, Maytag had a better warranty. Overall price when replacing the entire system was fairly similar between brands and providers. The work was performed in the time estimated and the workmen were on time, clean and respectful.
Description of Work: Removed existing heating and cooling systems and installed Maytag high efficiency furnace and A/C, humidifier, electronic air cleaner and thermostat. Work was performed over two days.
