Five Star Home Services is a network of top-rated home services companies located throughout Central and Southwest Ohio. We offer affordable residential and commercial heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical services at prices that are highly competitive. Although we are a local company, we have an entire team of master plumbers, NATE-certified HVAC technicians, and master electricians who are available around-the-clock with emergency repair services year-round throughout Southwest Ohio. Our company started as a small mom-and-pop shop in 1972. Since that time, our vision has been to provide homeowners with the best HVAC equipment and the best workmanship possible at the most competitive prices in the areas we service. Although we have grown tremendously over the years and now offer plumbing and electrical work throughout Ohio, our vision has remained the same. In addition to providing the best products and services at the lowest prices, we are also committed to making our communities better places to live and work and giving back to those in need.
I received 5 quotes on two HVAC systems to replace my 25-year-old units. I did a lot of research to be sure I could compare apples to apples with each quote. There are a lot of choices and opinions out there, but nothing matters unless the installation work is of high quality. When I called Pickerington Heating & Cooling, I explained my objectives and they made the good choice of sending Installation Manager Jeremiah to quote my job. Jeremiah was a stand out from the start and earned my business and respect. From the initial visit and assessment, to the selection of products and finalization of prices, Jeremiah was knowledgeable, ensured my objectives were reflected in his recommendations and quotes, and was a delight to work with. The fact that the company sent the installation manager to quote my job was very important to me. Jeremiah spoke highly of the quality of work of his installers and assured me he would also stop by during the install, which he did. Installers Corey, Jimmy, and Marvin were very experienced and professional and did a great job. Jimmy and Marvin shared that they have worked as a team for many years ... that is impressive and it surely showed in the quality and efficiency of their work. Corey was training a new installer and did most of the install work himself. Corey and his trainee were jovial, professional, and patient throughout what was a challenging job and very long day. Jeremiah was very knowledgable about product rebates and company discounts. Because of this and his hard work to earn my business, I believe I was able to get high-end Carrier products at prices that others were charging for what I felt were lesser overall products. Good people make all the difference. When you find them, give them your business.

My furnace was old and beyond repair. Pickerington Heating and Cooling installed a new Carrier furnance. The price was great! They were on schedule, hauled away the old furnance and parts, installed the new, cleaned up behind themselves. It has been a year and I can say my heating bills are from 20-30% less than previous winters. They also replaced the thermostat and my heat is never set above 72 even on the coldest days. From the office employees to the installers, everyone is positive, friendly, and professional. Would recommend their service and products to anyone.

A/C went out about a week ago and my husband called Pickerington Heating and Cooling to come out for a service call to find out what the issue was. Tech arrived and checked the A/C unit, said various parts needed to be replaced (capacitor, fan, etc.) and would run us around $900, but there was no guarantee that would fix the issue. Recommended we replace the unit for around $3,000. My husband was on the phone with me, asking about financing a new unit. Told him we should get a second opinion. Called a different company that came out today to check our A/C unit. Said the reason the capacitor stopped working was because of how dirty our A/C unit is. Tech put in a new capacitor and the A/C unit immediately came on and started working again. So, rather than being out $900 or $3000, we only had to pay for a new capacitor and paid for a cleaning of our A/C unit - less than $400. Pickerington Heating and Cooling, you should be ashamed. Thank God I wanted a second opinion before paying out all that money to you.

[Member Name Removed], At Pickerington Heating and Cooling it is our goal to make every customer experience a positive one. We are not a perfect company but when imperfect things transpire we ALWAYS handle that perfectly. Unfortunately you did not give us that opportunity. Had you called us or returned any of my many phone calls to you, this is what I would of shared with you. I have extensively researched this situation and here is what I've found. On September 20, we dispatched a technician to your home to look at your air conditioner that was not cooling. Here is what the technician put on the invoice that was emailed to you: "Upon arrival found unit cycling without condenser fan motor on, unit extremely hot, found capacitor drained and attempted to replace, fan motor bad as well as capacitor, condenser coil extremely dirty, compressor took high thermal load, notified customer of costs and more potential issues in near future." The technician explained that because your unit was over 10 years old and the manufacturer was Goodman that it may not be the best option to dump a lot of money in repairing the unit because it could end up being a money pit. Goodman products are known in the industry as being very basic and affordable but not known for their longevity. Whenever a motor runs with a weak or bad capacitor it does damage to the motor. Whenever a compressor tries to run without a motor it does damage to the compressor. Your air conditioner was doing both. The technician then recommended replacement of the system and presented different payment options. The reason why the unit responded the way it did for the other technician is because the unit had cooled down. I think Pickerington and Cooling fell short in not hosing the unit down to cool it, cleaning the condenser coil and then retry changing the capacitor. That being said, I am not convinced putting $400 into an old Goodman air conditioner was the best option either. I left you another message today encouraging you to call me back so we could work this out and in that message I stated that I'd be willing to pay the repair bill from the other company. I am not "ashamed", as you say I should be, but I do feel like we could of serviced you better. In the future if you have a problem with a company you should consider giving them a call to see if they are a company that is willing to take responsibility when they fall short. We are that type of company and that is why our customers absolutely love us (read the reviews). I would be glad to pay that bill, if only you would call me back. I will keep that offer on the table. Sincerely, Kip Morris Owner

They worked with me on price, for a Carrier 4 ton unit, given what I needed was different from the offer. They were on time, had the unit installed in under three hours, and left the basement area cleaner than when they arrived. The installers were very polite and professional. They set up a 2 years " same as cash" financing with a local company, which actually called me to be certain I knew how to make the payments on time to avoid any interest.
Description of Work: I responded to an offer for a 3 ton AC, but in fact needed a 4 ton, based on size of house. My current AC was a 25 year old 4 ton unit.

I hired Pickerington Heating and Cooling to perform a check up on my furnace. The technician called ahead of time to let me know that he was on his way. He arrived when promised, checked the heating system carefully and recommended replacing a capacitor. I authorized the replacement and the work was completed in about 30 minutes.

Tech found no problems with A/C unit.
Description of Work: Scheduled the $49.00 air conditioner tune up on the Angie's List web site. Was given a 4 hour appointment window by Pickerington H&AC. Called Pickerington H&AC 15 minutes after 4 hour window expired to find out why they were a no-show. I was put on hold while the technician was contacted. Was advised technician was delayed on a previous job and would arrive in an hour. When tech arrived, he did apologize twice for being late. That's great but I think that someone from Pickerington H&AC should have contacted me when the Tech realized he was going to be late. NOT good customer service. I'd use them again only to see if my experience was better the second time.

They were fantastic from start to finish. They cleaned up after themselves,if I had a question and they came out right away. They come out twice a year for maintenance as well. What they told us was true, out electric bill has been down at least $200.00 a month, which has been paying for itself.
