I thought that they were very reliable and professional. They weren't overly aggressive in trying to sell products, that was our concern with other companies.

Well the crew was very friendly, they installed the unit in a shorter period of time than I expected. I'm very pleased with the quality of the unit and the installation. However, there was a bit of a mix up with getting the permit and inspection from my city inspector. There was one employee left behind to finish up my installation and show me the new unit. He demonstrated how to operate my new programmable thermostat, but didn't ask for the check like I had expected since Paul had told me payment was due at completion of installation. When I inquired about it, he said he guessed they would just invoice me because no one had told him to get the check. (I was actually glad I hadn't paid yet later.) He also didn't tell me how to go about getting the permit/inspection from my city, so I assumed this was my responsibility and simply called our city offices the next day. According my city's records, Favrett hadn't filed an application for the permit, so I called Paul to find out what was going on and he wasn't horribly responsive. He did call a few days later to ask where my payment was, though, and I informed him that I would send it out as soon as the permit and inspection were taken care of. I didn't hear from Favrett again, so I ended up scheduling the inspection myself. Then, a rep from Favret called about a week or two later to find out when they could schedule the inspection. When I informed him that I had already done that, he got kind of mad at me because he claimed they'd paid for two permits. I told him that they should make sure the people left behind to finish up the installation know what to tell the homeowner, and that I was just trying to make sure my house was up to city code. I didn't hear from them again. In the end it all worked out. Positive experience overall, but it was very frustrating for a while. Still, I would use them again -- the installation and the warranty on the unit are excellent. And now I know what sorts of questions I need to ask the next time this comes up!

I have a maintenance contract with them and they bill me. They always cover their shoes before they walk into my house. They always clean up where they've worked. They are always clean, neat, and polite. They are very friendly, other companies are so business like. I would recommend them to anybody. I will continue to use them.
Description of Work: They come in twice a year and check my furnace and air conditioning to make sure it will run OK during the season.

Their quality, professionalism, promptness, and everything else involved with their service is excellent. Their prices are a bit high but it's worth it. Their follow-up and the entire staff that takes part in the work is also excellent. They also clean up very well.
Description of Work: They've been servicing my furnaces since the '70s. They also installed a top of the line heating and air unit in our home and did duct cleaning.

Fantastic! I was so pleased that he was able to spot the problem and suggest a much less invasive solution. I was expecting a $2,000 job and I ended up with a bill for $211. How wonderful that they were able to provide an inexpensive alternative when they could have racked up a big job. They were extremely punctual and were in and out in a little over an hour. He wouldn't give me a quote - said they would charge time and materials and told me that it would be lower to price it this way. However he did say it was $80 an hour + materials. I assumed 2 hours and was looking for a $250 bill. I would definitely call them again.
Description of Work: I live in a cape cod and the upstairs never seems to get the air conditioning. Even with a new unit installed this year. I asked them out to give me an estimate of how much to run duct work from the basement to the 2nd floor to get more air pushed up there. Instead, the salesman noticed that they ducts that were going to the upstairs were making several 90 degree turns and he explained that this, alone, was cutting down my air flow to the upstairs. Instead of installing a new vent and duct work that would have had to go through my dining room, they just replaced some of the ducts in the basement to increase the width and reduce the angles from 90 to 45.

Bill came to my house on time. He had a lot of digging to do to unearth my air conditioner from the mulch. I offered to do the digging, but it was hot, and he did it all for me. He took the cover off of the air conditioner, cleaned it up with the hose, made it sparkle inside, tested it, and put it all back together. After that, he went to the basement and cleaned all of the crud out of my furnace. It had never been cleaned before. He tested it, put everything back together AND cleaned up all of the muck from the cleaning out. He had a great sense of humor, and was friendly and professional.
Description of Work: Bill dug the mulch from around my air conditioner, took off the cover, and cleaned it until it sparkled. Then he went to the basement, took my furnace all apart, made it sparkle, tested everything, put it back together, and cleaned up.

The boys came in the morning at the time arranged. They brought a huge vacuum, about the size of a furnace into my basement, cut 2 large holes in the ductwork, and drilled many small ones. Then they proceeded to suck all of the dust and dirt out of the ducts. It was noisy, but the noise told me how thorough they were at getting to all of the system. They showed me what they were doing at all times and were polite and professional. When they were done with the dirt, they plugged up all the holes and cleaned up.
Description of Work: The two guys came and cleaned out my ducts, which had NEVER been cleaned since the house was built.

Jim Chesbrough 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, we decided to purchase a different brand of equipment so we went with a different contractor.

It went very well. They answered the phone promptly, were very courteous, and scheduled someone to come out the same evening. They had someone on the way within an hour, including a notification call. Everyone I dealt with was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. The technician that came to our home was great about cleaning up after his work, explaining his work and answering my questions, and educating me on next steps and future preventive maintenance. Work was complete in about 1.5 hours. Based on their hourly rate, it made more sense for us to purchase their annual service plan, which paid for today's work as well as another inspection and cleaning of our system in the winter, and service discounts and priority.
Description of Work: Diagnose reason why AC was not working, perform AC and furnace inspection & cleaning. AC issue determined to be caused by air duct cleaning done the day before by another vendor, debris had been blown into furnace blocking it from blowing air. Furnace cleaned and inspected.

The tech they sent on Saturday, Herb, was a very polite individual. He seemed to be very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and spoke highly of the company he worked for. He also sold us a service contract! We will definitely continue to use Favret Heating and Cooling as long as they continue to employ techs of this caliber.
Description of Work: Our air conditioner made a loud sound on Friday night and then quit working. I called Favret since I had used them once before from Angie's List. It was after hours and I got their answering service. They had a tech call me back within 5 minutes. He thought our problem was the motor on the blower. He advised me to call back in the morning and they could have a tech come out. They actually work on Saturdays! He did offer to come Friday night but advised me that the charge would be higher for the call and he wouldn't have the part on his truck that I needed. I appreciated his honesty. I called back Saturday morning and they sent someone right away. It was the blower, however, I have a Trane and their parts department isn't open on Saturday so they said as long as it was in stock, they would be out first thing Monday. They called me Monday morning and sent the tech to install the part.

They said it was my responsibility to have the chimney swept out before they put the correct nozzle in. The dirt and inconvenience was horrible and it should not have been my responsibility. They should have paid for it.

Two person crew arrived on time at 9am and were finished by mid afternoon. No particular problems. I can't really say whether the price I paid, $475, is appropriate for this service since I've never had anyone clean my air ducts before. I have nothing with which to compare it. When I think about how dirty the air ducts were, however, I don't feel $475 was unreasonable. If I need this service performed again in the future I wouldn't hesitate to use the same company.
