I was promised "first appointment" for the day where the technician would appear any time between 8A and 9A. He arrived around 8:30A. Very pleasant fellow. Quick and thorough worker. He also was nice to and enjoyed the company of my four year old bulldog who followed the technician around like he was me! The technician was done with his work within an hour. Great/thorough job.
Description of Work: Annual furnace inspection as part of my maintenance contract with Buckeye Heating & Cooling. Cleaned/inspected furnace (including filter), checked humidifier (incl filter), tested for carbon monoxide coming through the vents.

A/C was not working. Called Buckeye. Technician arrived on-time. Looked at unit and said the problem was the outdoor circuit breaker. The circuit breaker did appear to have had some electrical arcing and generally looked to be in very poor condition. Technician said the diagnosis was $75 and that he could have everything working that day for $300. The price seemed very high for a common electrical part and a very straight-forward installation. I did like the idea of being up-and-running that day so I authorized the work to be done. The technician completed the installation of the new circuit breaker but that did not fix the problem. The technician then said I would need a completely new A/C system. When I challenged his initial diagnosis that I paid $75 for, he claimed that was a valid diagnosis and that problem would have had to been fixed no matter what. But it would have a simple step to ensure the unit was working properly when the outdoor circuit breaker was removed from the circuit since the unit would have still been protected electrically by the indoor breaker. Bottom line - I never would have had the outside breaker replaced at the very high rate they were charging if they had properly diagnosed the problem with my A/C system.
Description of Work: Inspected A/C system and replaced outdoor circuit breaker for the A/C system.

Response from Buckeye Heating & Cooling
WE ARE SORRY THE MEMBER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE HE RECEIVED. A FEW ADDITIONAL COMMENTS MAY HELP CLARIFY THE ACCURACY INVOLVED IN THIS INSTANCE. 1. AT NO TIME DID THE MEMBER EVER CALL BUCKEYE AND OFFER HIS DISSATISFACTION WITH OUR SERVICE. IF HE HAD, OUR POLICY WOULD BE TO REFUND THE MONEY IF THE INFORMATION HE PRESENTS HERE WERE ACCURATE. 2. UNTIL THIS REPORT, WE HAD HEARD NOTHING FROM HIM. OUR SALES STAFF WAS INVITED TO HIS HOME AFTER THE SERVICE CALL TO QUOTE HIM ON TWO SYSTEMS FOR REPLACEMENT. HE SAID NOTHING AT THIS TIME - ISN'T THAT ODD? WE GAVE HIM A QUOTE ON TWO NEW SYSTEMS. WE HAVE E-MAILS TO BACK THIS UP AS WELL. ONE WAS THE SYSTEM THAT HAD THE PROBLEM THE OTHER WAS A SECOND SYSTEM. HE DID NOT REPLY TO ANY REQUESTS FOR FOLLOW-UP WHEN WE CALLED TO CHECK ON HIS STATUS FOR THE QUOTE, STILL WITH NO COMPLAINT. 3. HE FREELY ADMITS IN HIS REPORT THE SYSTEM WAS "ARCING" AND SHOWS SIGNS. THE TECHNICIAN ON CALL INDICATED THE BOX WAS FUSED, MEANING THIS CONDITION EXISTING FOR SOME TIME INDICATING LACK OF MAINTENANCE? THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT MIS-DIAGNOSE BUT GOT IT EXACTLY RIGHT AND HE IS TRAINED TO DIAGNOSE THE SYSTEM AGAIN WHEN IT BEGINS RUNNING SO WE DO NOT MISS A PROBLEM CREATING A CALLBACK LATER WHICH IS INCONVENIENT FOR US BOTH. HOW CAN ONE DETERMINE A SECOND PROBLEM IF THE FIRST PROBLEM MEANS THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT OPERATING? 4. THE TECHNICIAN QUOTED THE PRICE TO FIX THE UNIT AND DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU OR I WOULD WANT, TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THE SYSTEM. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS EXECUTED THE COMPRESSOR DID NOT OPERATE PROPERLY SO THE TECHNICIAN OFFERED THE MEMBER THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR IT, OR GET A QUOTE. WHAT IS MOST UNFORTUNATE IS THE MEMBER HERE IS REFLECTING INFORMATION THAT PRESENTS ONLY ONE SIDE TO THE STORY. WE HAVE A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IN WRITING FOR A REASON, WE AS A COMPANY ARE NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT IF AND WHEN WE MAKE A MISTAKE. OUR REPUTATION IS ALL WE REALLY HAVE, AND WE WOULD POLITELY REFUND THIS MEMBERS MONEY HAD HE NOTIFIED US HE HAD A PROBLEM, WHICH IN THIS CASE, APPEARS TO BE AN ATTEMPT TO GET CREDIT BACK AFTER HE MAY HAVE BOUGHT UNITS FROM ANOTHER FIRM? WE DO NOT KNOW SINCE HE WILL NOT CALL US BACK AND COMMUNICATE. WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN OUR TRAINING, OUR CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND CONSIDER OURSELVES TO BE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOCUSED. ALL WE CAN DO IS SOLVE THE PROBLEMS WE KNOW ABOUT AND WISH HE HAD CALLED US TO ALLOW US TO DO SO. GARY ELEKES AND BRAD WENTZ - OWNERS BUCKEYE HEATING & COOLING

Have an almost 1 year old Ruud furnace that was installed by my builder. The technician found several problems with the unit, including pop cans in the vents, improper installation of a metal panel [left a large gap which affects air flow], and a singed service manual that was left inside the furnace. The technician clearly explained everything he was doing as well as the results of all his tests. I was very pleased with the service I received. He cleaned up after himself and wore shoe covers when he entered my home. I have contacted the builder to correct the issues since I am still in my home warranty period.

Nelson Flinders visited our home, inspected the existing equipment, analyzed the duct system and discussed our home s HVAC needs and the equipment options with us in detail. He then prepared a timely and professional estimate. As it turned out, another contractor's estimate was a little lower so we went with that firm.

They always do good work, they are always there at the time they say they will be there. They are always good at doing extra, we had blown some fuses and when that happens they are good to leave extra fuses. They always clean up when they finish.

The tech was very professional and helpful to answer several of our questions. We liked them - so we signed up for their annual service contract. They check the furnace and AC (two times per year) for a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: Had them out to service our aging furnace. A previous company messed up our damper system - and also did not properly repair a leaky line. Buckeye came out as an emergency service (it was winter and we were without heat).

Due to illness, I'm home. It was important to have a working A/C. Buckeye was called on Tuesday 7/1/08 and an appt made for Wednesday 7/2/08. The company rep was on time, and after told of our needs, they said they could do the installation the next day (7/3/08). The day prior to the 3rd holiday weekend (other company's called could not do for 1 week) the work was completed, all areas were cleaned, and home was cool upon our late PM return from hospital. Many thanks.

They came highly recommended so I was put on their schedule for early June. I had been looking for a new company as I was unhappy with my last HVAC company. I opted against the service contract as I wanted to try their services first. I called them in late May to ask some questions about service. When I talked to them they said they had to move the service back a few weeks which was a little annoying. The day they were scheduled to come out it was hard for them to give me an exact time for the technician to be out. They thought it would be later in the day but said they would call when they had a better idea. Within the hour a serviceman pulled up in a van without any warning. The man they sent out was in fact very knowledgeable and did a good job on the service and repair. He was very thorough and competent. He was very honest and did not want to make any assumptions without having as much info as possible. I was satisfied with the service but I did have a problem with the office and the way they went about scheduling service and the overall communication.
Description of Work: I had them out for a routine spring A/C check and service (they replaced a faulty part as well).

The first guy they sent out repaired everything fine, but a week later problems resurfaced. When we called him back out he was degrading and thought I didn't know what I was talking about. We complained to them so they sent out a different person the next time and this one was actually a gentleman and polite and was able to help us with the problem.
