I called about 5pm on Friday evening thinking no one would answer but they had a calling service and the gentleman called me within 10 min. of my call. He was just returning home from a long day but said he would be there within 40 min. to have a look at my heat pump. He said he may not be able to repair it and told me up front that I would still have to pay a service call or I could wait until Saturday when I might have better luck because of needing parts. I told him to go ahead and come because it was quite warm that evening. He was very honest and wanted to make sure I understood it might not be able to repaired but he felt certain he could probably have it running for us. He came within the 40 min and had our unit running within 10 min. He was very professional and explained every thing he was doing. Our heat pump has ran great since and I got a service plan from Favret so they can come to check it before winter.
Description of Work: We had a part in our heat pump unit that had gone bad and he replaced the part and had our heat running within 30 min.

We called Favert on Monday and had an appointment the next day with the sales repersentive. Paul Williams arrived on time, gave us a lot of information, took measurments and quoted us different options in writing, all in the same visit. At no time were we pressured to buy or to add any options. I will point out at this time that rebates and packages do lead the buyer in a direction. We waited two days before deciding to buy. The following Monday they squeezed us in the schedule to clean the heat ducts so they would be cleaned before the new unit would be installed. The men cleaning the ducts did a thorough job from what I inspected. All of the work had been done as explained to us by Mr Williams. Two days after the cleaning the installers came as scheduled doing the complete job in one day. Favert had different people arriving during the day to complete different portions of the work. The last person working on the unit at the end of the day gave us a run down on the new unit and answered the many questions we had. The only problem we had was the outside unit was not installed as quoted. The techinican argreed with us and told us they would call the next day to set up an appointment to correct it. This was done on the second day and completed even though it took four hours and three people. Our new unit has been running for over a month and I am still quite satisfied. I believe the Favert Company's biggest asset is the quality and skill of their workers.
Description of Work: Favret cleaned are air ducts and installed a new heat pump and air handler at our home.

I have used Favret since I bought my house in 2007 to inspect and clean my furnace and air conditioner. They have always been on time and courteous. Since my furnace was upwards of 30 years old, it was time to have it replaced for efficiency and reliability purposes. I didn't hesitate to call Favret for the quote.I spoke with the sales rep at the Spring Home and Garden show, and provided my information for an estimate. He came out the next week to provide an estimate. Since the estimate was within my budget (and Carrier was offering large discounts at the time), I went ahead and scheduled the installation. The sales rep recommended additonal items to purchase that would be appropriate (upgraded thermostat, additional duct, duct cleaning, etc) I did go with the thermostat, but did not end up needing the duct cleaning.The install took 2 days to fully complete. I was left with a working furnace after the first day, since it was still cold outside. All technicians involved were professional and not intrusive.Since it was still cold outside during the install, the air conditioning could not be fully charged. I called a month later to schedule this service, and received the same great service. I would definitely recommend Favret to anybody looking for furnace installation or repair.
Description of Work: New furnace and air conditioner, chimney liner for water heater exhaust, new thermostat.

My A/C unit stopped pushing cold air, so after checking the fuses I called Favret mid-afternoon. I got an appt. same day, the employee showed up within 5-8pm as scheduled (about 6pm), he quickly found the problem. My capacitor on the outside fan/compressor blew, he had the part available in his truck, replaced it. Then, he found my air filter, which was not in its normal spot, behind two metal doors in my AC/furnace unit, replaced the filter. He also cleaned and vacuumed the motor in the furnace unit making the air much easier to push through the house. Then, he cut a hole in the metal intake to the furnace so I could slide the filter in/out, which was a much more practical, easier to use way to get to the filter than before. So, he basically did 3 jobs when I hired him to do one. By 8pm, he was gone, my A/C works again, very happy with service. Very professional job and nice guy. Definitely recommend. And I got a $28 discount from an angieslist coupon, which he told me about before I paid him! Awesome.
Description of Work: replaced the a/c unit capacitator, remodeled the air filter, cleaned the inside ductwork fan motor which pulls the air.

They were somewhat professional, but they acted like I should have known they don't do free estimates, even though their profile says they do.
Description of Work: Be advised that their Angies List profile says "Yes" for Free Estimates but that is only for installation of new systems, not for repair jobs. I think this is somewhat misleading since other provider profiles in the same category say "Ask for Details".

The original appointment was scheduled for June 28th and the work was done a week earlier, due to a cancellation. James and Sabian arrived shortly after 9 AM. They performed a walk through to count and check the air ducts and returns. They wore booties to protect the floors and carpets. A drop cloth was used to cover the flooring. They were very thorough and showed me the amount of debris collected when they were finished. We were thrilled with how clean our ducts looked. We thought this was a very good deal. The original price for this service would have been $525, so $220 was a Big Deal!
Description of Work: We purchased the Angie's List Big Deal coupon for air duct cleaning. They cleaned 12 air ducts and 3 cold air returns on our 39 year old house for the first time. The cleaning unit was portable rather than truck mounted. They installed entry points in the duct work which will make future cleanings easier. The entire job took 4-5 hours including a lunch break. They were very neat and cleaned up afterwards.

I contacted Favret Heating and Cooling and informed them thaty my house was on the tour of homes the coming weekend. They were able to dispatch one of their representatives that day. Surprisingly, they were able to fix the AC that evening, and in enough time to coole the house for all of my guests. I am impressed with the quality and punctuality of service. I have never had this type of customer serivce from a HVAC company before. Chuck was great!

I have a contract with them where they come out and check my heating, cooling and furnace. All of the workers are excellent and they are always clean. They came really late but they gave us a choice to reschedule but we chose to have them come really late. They are good and that's why I keep a contract with them. Their prices are fair but I don't think it's cheap.

Customer service was polite and responsive when scheduling the appointment. The technician arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the problem with the condenser unit. He quickly made necessary repairs and offered advice on how to properly maintain the units. He offered to provide a quote to replace the aging condenser units but I appreciated that he offered unbiased advice on the need to replace the units and wasn't aggressive about trying to sell me services. All-in-all it was a very positive experience.

I bought my furnace and A/C from Favret over 2 years ago. On this morning, i heard a long bang and the thermostat and furnace went out. I thought it was a breaker, but unable to get it going again. Called them and they were here within 2 hours. The tech checked the obvious stuff first and then moved to the more tedious and unlikely things. Turned out a wire was being rubbed by the fan and eventually had worn through. Repaired and all is well.
Description of Work: Service tech arrived within the timeframe promised and spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out what happened to the furnace. Very thorough and very patient. Finally discovered that a wire had dropped down and the furnace fan was rubbing against it. Through time, it wore through and caused a short. He repaired the wire and secured it so that it wouldn't happen again. He ran the furnace through a few cycles to make sure all was well.

Favret Heating & Cooling expressed that they were not interested in doing this small job. Unfortunately, the home supplies stores were also not able to sell us the supplies necessary to do it ourselves. Favret promised to call back & never followed thru.
Description of Work: I contacted Favret Heating & Cooling about completing an annual service on our heating & cooling system & replacing damaged insulation in our furnace. The insulation became damaged after the condensation pipe became clogged; we unclogged the pipe ourselves. After explaining our needs to the sales member he said that they were not interested in doing such a small job. They were too busy for a job that would only take 5 minutes to complete. I explained that we were willing to wait until they were not as busy with larger jobs so he said that the job still wouldn't be worth their time. He also said that if we insisted on hiring them that it would be approximately $500 because it is such a small job & there was no real incentive for them to pull their highly trained techs for such a small job. He said anyone person could install the insulation; a technician was not required. I then asked if he would be willing to sell us the insulation for the furnace so we could do it ourselves since that is all I really needed anyways and the home supplies stores were not permitted to order or stock this item. He said that he would call me back later in the day to let me know if this was possible. I never heard back from them.

Response from Favret Heating & Cooling
June 9, 2011 Thank you for notifying us of your complaint. We strive to provide you with the best possible service, and when you feel that it fails to meet your expectations, it’s important for us to know. We’re sorry that you received service that prompted you to contact us with a complaint, and we regret any inconvenience or frustration that your experience has caused you. To ensure that our staff conducts itself in a manner that reflects the high regard that we have for our customers, we’ve notified the proper department of your complaint. It was a quandary to us that your request for service did not get scheduled in our service schedule. We have a Parts department that has a counter for retail sales to our customers and they did not talk with you either for this request. We have assigned salesman to handle the different sections of central Ohio and he has not talked with you either. Your request is not too small for us. One of our service technicians could complete this repair during the annual maintenance and servicing of your air conditioning system. Once we knew what he needed so it was on the truck as mentioned in your complaint. This was all done as a preventative measure so if this does occur again that our team works for the customer’s satisfaction. Your patronage is important to us, and we hope that you’ll continue to give us opportunities to serve you. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. Sincerely, Mark Favret President

The visit was routine. Technician came as promised, explained various points about our ancient cooling system, answered my questions, checked temperatures and pressures, inspected the filter, and verified proper system operation.
Description of Work: This was our Spring checkup under our maintenance/repair contract with Favret. They come twice a year -- before the Fall heating season and before the Summer cooling season -- to check equipment, clean it, make any needed adjustments or repairs, change filters if necessary, etc. They always call to remind us, set a convenient date, call ahead before they arrive, and work efficiently and carefully. We are on our third yearly contract with them and are completely satisfied and will sign up again next year.

The work went well, and I was satisfied with them. The guys were real nice and friendly. They showed me everything they were doing and walked me through things. They answered any questions I had. They were very courteous when they came in; they put little plastic things over their shoes every time they went in and out. I used the Big Deal offer from Angie?s List; I think their price was good owing to this special offer. I guess they offered 50% off on their actual price; if it was around $400, I probably would not have done it. I would recommend them to others and would use them again in the future if necessary.

We called to have Favret come out to repair our AC unit and set an appointment for Thursday between 12 and 4pm. My wife decided to get a few errands out of the way and so she got back to the house at 12. Since Favret had told us they would be here in that time frame it didn't really concern her that when they didn't show for the first few hours. To make a long story short Favret called ten minutes prior to noon and since they did not get an answer they left a message saying that they needed a call back before they would send a tech out. A second, slightly irritated sounded message came several hours later saying that because we had not returned their call we would have to schedule another appointment. Look I get that we live in a world where there are a great number of flakes and that calling ahead is probably a good precaution when trying to run a business while turning a profit. Having said that, there was zero mention of a confirm call prior to coming that would torpedo the whole deal if it was not answered. I would have preferred them having the forethought and honesty to say something to the effect of "Your appointment will be for tomorrow between noon and 4pm. It is important to note that we will be calling you prior to the appointment to confirm that you are not full of it. After all our time is very important to us." At least then I would have known. In the end its just some wasted time. It is important to note that prior to giving this feedback I did leave a message with the company expressing, in a somewhat toned down manner, my irritation, and asking for a call back regarding the issue. No callback appears to have been made. At this point I would probably avoid them because they just don't seem either very upfront or thoughtful, or reliable. Any way you look at it they don't seem to care about the issue.
Description of Work: No service was ever performed. They never shower up to the appointment.
