Excellent service. The installer was highly professional and answered my multitude of questions. I understand how my unit works and how to maintain it properly. I only wish I had had them install the A/C five years earlier! Since I was converting from an ancient gravity fed furnace, I had to have new ducts installed for the A/C.
Description of Work: Used in 2011 to install a Bryant Furnace, and again in May 2017 to install a Bryant Air Conditioner.

They've been just great. I've had them do zoning, add an air conditioning unit to the second floor. I had them put in duct UV light. I had them do a whole bunch a work. They've got a big supply.
Description of Work: Annually they do spring and winter. They clean and oil and all that stuff, and check the air conditioner and make sure it has all the stuff it's supposed to have.

Mr. [Member Name Removed], Thank you for the great review. As you know, we're really a diverse company with a large showroom and much more resources than a typical HVAC company. We take great pride in our customers, like you, that use us over-and-over again. Thank you again for your kind words and loyal patronage! Dave

That was just great! They designed it. They had all the parts and put it in. They ran out less than a day.
Description of Work: I had zoning put in. What they did was they split the house in fours, I had four thermostats in four different zones, so that upstairs can be one temperature and downstairs can be another.

Called at last minute for an inspection because we are selling the house and needed to establish that the furnace although very old was ok. Asked to be called if any cancellations happened before the appointment in a week. Air RIte called a few mins later and said they were having cancellations of appointments and could come right over. This worked out great for us. Tim was very efficient and personable. He took the time to answer all questions. He replaced a raggedy belt and the thermocouple. He cleaned and tested the furnace. It was quick and easy and we were very pleased.
Description of Work: Inspected, cleaned old Dornback furnace. Changed belt and thermocouple. Tested for carbon monoxide output

Chris is a longtime employee of Air Rite. I request him specifically because of his expertise and professionalism. He answers everything you ask in detail and doesn't try to advise unneeded and quot;add-onsand quot; such as a new air filter. I have been more than satisfied with Air Rite over the years. Wouldn't consider another service.

A call was place to Air Rite on Wed for service call to check a furnace. The provider stated that a technician could not come today (Wed) but that they would come and quot;sometimeand quot; tomorrow (Thur) and would call when they were on their way. I asked approximately what time they would arrive on Thurs but the provider only said and quot;sometimeand quot; before 5pm. I stayed home from work all day Thur in order to be home when the service tech arrived. I called again at noon on Thurs to check the status. The provider said that they would be out in the afternoon. As of 4.30pm on Thurs, no service. I called again and the provider said that they will not be out today. I asked why nobody called me to let me know that they would not be coming. The provider said that they would only call if they were coming, which disregards the whole idea of making an appointment in the first place. The woman who answers the phone at Air Rite is rude, ignorant, and nasty, and obviously has no idea how to run a business or how to schedule appointments. If you can't keep an appointment, then call your customer and reschedule. Air Rite obviously does not want anyone's business and has no desire to provide professional service or to respect a customer's time. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Do your research and make sure you know who you're dealing with before you end up having to deal with an ignorant, incompetent company like Air Rite. They should not be in business.
Description of Work: Provider never showed up, never called, and didn't do anything.

Regarding the comment about being "rude"....no one deserves this. If it's true, as owner, I will get to the bottom of this, examine the facts, and do what I can to make sure it doesn't happen again. My direct apology to [member name removed] and his negative experience with us. Regarding our "no show".....It's also our fault. We still haven't learned our lesson after 60+ years in business that sometimes we have to say "no". January 7th, 2014 was the coldest day in 20 years - minus 12 degrees with 30 mph winds. We should have told this caller we probably wouldn't make it and to call another company. We had an unreal backlog of no-heat calls and truck problems (from the cold), and we did what we could, but it obviously wasn't enough. If you are reading this and NOT already one of our customers, please understand that every highly rated company, like Air Rite Service, has been running a successful business for years. Thus, we also have a huge, happy customer base of those that do regular / annual preventative maintenance and service. When extreme weather hits and your furnace or air conditioner isn't working, expect delays because these companies must service their existing customer base. Fishing for a new company on Angie's List when extreme weather or similar situations happen could end up being disappointing to you. My advice to anyone would be to do annual maintenance on your furnace, boiler, or air conditioner with a company with whom you feel comfortable. Establish the relationship “now”, not when extremes hit. In conclusion, thank you to all our long-time customers who know that we're still and always will be one of the most honest, responsive, and capable companies in Cuyahoga County

I made an appointment 2 weeks in advance with this provider. I took 4 hours off of work for the appointment. I called at the start of the appointment window, noon as was told the appointment was still valid and i would just have to wait. did wait patiently until 10 minutes to 4. I was told and quot;they won't get to you todayand quot; we'll have to reschedule. They claimed they were going to call me, when, 5 pm? They offered to reschedule, really? Do you think i can offered to take another 1/2 day off of work for a no show/

Response from AIR RITE SERVICE INC
We are very sorry that we could not make it to [removed member name] house on this particular day. This is a direct apology to him and hope he can somehow forgive us. We realize how important it is to have properly working humidifier when it starts to get cold (his was leaking). Regarding this event: It was the first Monday of the coldest weekend so far this year. We did believe we could perform his service as promised, but the blustery, unseasonably cold weather unexpectedly kept our service crews working overtime to restore heat to our customers that had none. We couldn't "pull off" the service technicians who were repairing systems and leave customers without heat. Also, we didn't know exactly how long “active” service calls were going to take - because repairs aren't diagnosed until we get to the job. Some times they run over. We simply ran out of resources this day. Air Rite does everything in its power to get to all promised calls, do them in a reasonable time frame for a fair price, and move on to the next call. This is the reason this family business has been continuously in operation for over 60 years, as well as a multiple Super Service recipient. We have learned from this review and the tips it provides on how we can refine our communications with customers, especially new ones with whom we have no history of working together.

They did the job so there was no problem. It was absolutely what I expected. The only problem they had was they didn't know about the Angie's List coupon so it took time. The work was good. It was a big deal purchase.

They did three major jobs for us: 1. New Mitsubisi wall unit to cool the scone floor. 2. Venting our bar area with outside air. 3. Installing a four (4) area zone for our HVAC, They also do a spring A/C and fall furnace service for us since 2008. We have have good service, Paul Campbell is the guy who did the proposals and layouts. They have also done some emergency work for us when the fan motor stopped. They have all of the parts and know-how to do major jobs but will not run away from the smaller jobs.
Description of Work: 7/8/11 Mitsubisihi Unit $3,300.00 1/31/12 New Venting for Bar $750.00 6/14/12 Zoning $7,445.00

After receiving several proposals, except Air Rite's, a decision was made June 8, 2013. A call was placed to Air Rite June 7, 2013 asking when their proposal would be submitted. An email address was given so the proposal could be received faster. I thought they lost the address, the gentlemen that came to the house told me that the information was in his bosses hands and that we'd received the proposal as soon as it was done. I again explained that a decision was going to be made June 8, 2013 and I didn't want his proposal to be left out. Well 6/21/13 I finally received it, plus the funny thing is that Central Air was awarded the contract. Until today, I had heard nothing from Air Rite. If it took since June 8th just to get the proposal, I'm wondering how long it would actually take to get the job done. Sorry they didn't get the contract but when it takes 2 weeks just to get a proposal, what is one supposta think.
Description of Work: Air Rite came to the house to review what needed to be done. Left without giving me any proposal, he was told that at the end of 6/4/13 week, a decision would be made to get his proposal in as soon as possible.

I have to say that after reading this extensive review, the only conclusions we can draw from it are: (A) we didn't deliver the quote in the time-frame the customer desired, and (B) the price wasn't the lowest. And finally, the "D" rating doesn't seem consistent with the other grades: C, C, B, B & A = B-. I wonder what kind of rating she gave other companies that delivered the quotes on-time, but were higher than the cheapest company that got the job? Just curious since it seemed to be a rating factor....

The technician was courteous, thorough, informative, and attentive to detail.
Description of Work: The technician cleaned the outdoor portion of our A/C system, recharged the freon, installed a programable digital themostat (which he provided) and did a thorough inspection of our whole system. He also educated me about our whole house humidifier, as we have not lived in an area where we needed one before now.

Great local business. Bare bones, nothing fancy but who need fancy for filters? I found they also service furnances and a/c so I may give 'em a call for that. They carry over 100,000 filters so no reason not to support a Cleveland business.
Description of Work: My furnace and household humidifier filters are not readily available in the local hardware stores so I thought I'd have to order online. A colleague told me about this business so I bought a year's worth of filters -- which came with a quantity discount. It was an easy stop, they offered to carry them to my car.

We believe the customer is confused about which company he was reviewing. He says he used us for a "clean up on his heating and cooling system" which we have no record of. We did completed work on a completely different date, January 11, 2011 for $314.00 (no heat - replaced gas valve and repaired) and customer never complained about service received nor followed up with any sort of call back needed. This is the only time we have been to this customer's location in the last 10+ years.

I called and made an appointment for Thursday May 10th in the afternoon (Noon to 4pm). Office called shortly before noon to verify I was home and it was okay for the technician to arrive. He arrived about 15-20 minutes later. He checked the blower motors in both furnaces, checked the furnace filters and replaced one with a spare I provided. Inspected the wiring in the outdoor units.Checked coolant pressure, added 1 pound of R22 coolant to one of the two A/C units - the other was okay. Cleaned, checked and inspected both outdoor units, Tested proper running and cold air temps. Cleaned up the area after work done.
Description of Work: Clean and inspect 2 whole-house air conditioning units in preparation for the upcoming cooling season.
