Excellent experience. Repair done during probably busy period-cold snap. Phone conact was polite and professional. Service was exactly what was discussed, professional, quick and done right. Furnace is still working well! I definitely plan on calling this company again for routine maintenance and service.

They are on Angies List and we have been using them. They replaced our 1977 furnace. We had a maintenance check and were told that a crack had occurred and that requires a new furnace. We have been using them for over 30 years for all the maintenance calls. They did the original carrier installation in the 70’s. We needed all new duct work as well because they said that our old cold air returns did not meet the Westlake code standards, so they did the new air-ducts. They did a great job. We did not any other bids, but we thought that the price was fair and it included the air-ducts and all those things.
Description of Work: We use Lakewood Furnace Co for heating and air-conditioning. The last time we used them was in April and they installed a new furnace for me and also did new air-ducts. They also replaced the thermostat and everything.

The installation was done very timely. The technicians did a very neat installation. The new furnace looks so much better than the old one and operates so quietly that except for the house being warm we don't know that it's working.

Myinitial call was promptly answered and service was scheduled. I was advised to call after 8:30 on August 3rd to see where I was on the schedule. About 8:35 I had picked up the phone to call and while dialing I looked in my driveway and the service man was here. Kit wasted no time in analyzing the problem and servicing the unit.
Description of Work: The capacitor had blown out on my condensing unit. The coils were also washed.

The installer came out, smack dab in between the "...between 12 and 1" timeframe they promised, was very friendly, worked fast, but was very thorough, and cleaned up every bit of the (small) mess that he made...and some of the mess that was there before he showed up! He also provided some tips for taking care of my new system, stayed to make sure everything was running smoothly, no leaks or surprises, and was even polite when he burned himself! "Wow, that smarts!" was as "colorful" as he got, whereas I would have used much more colorful words. (he's ok, BTW.) Great job at a pretty reasonable price. Thanks!

All-in-all, they did a very good job. The workers who came out were nice and they left everything in good order. They were very cooperative and everything so far is good. I would recommend them to others. Their price was right in there with the other people but it seemed kind of expensive.

Called for emergency A/C service today due to leaking water around my furnace. The woman who took my call today was great but the gentleman who called me back was very rude. Before I even finished my sentence he quoted me $143 to come to the door and $$$ per 15 minutes on site. It wasn't the price (although it is outrageous), it was his affect on the phone. Seemed like I was annoying him with the cal and that he didn't want to be bothered. I will never use this company for routine or emergency services.

Response from Lakewood Furnace Co
I'm sorry for your unusual experience over the weekend. Although it does not justify the treatment you received, our tech on call was deluged with service calls due to the hot weather and an unexpected emergency from the another tech on call. Unfortunately, he must have let his frustration show during your conversation. I can assure you that this is not the way we want or normally conduct business although I realize that is of little consolation to you. Once again my sincere apology.

Everything went well and they are the only company I will use for my furnace and AC.
Description of Work: Furnace stopped working in the middle of the night and it was cold. Called them at 1 AM. They came at 6 AM and started the furnace manually and told me I needed a new ignitor. They left to go get a new part and returned two hours later intalled the part and the furnace has worked fine the rest of the winter.

Our 40-year-old furnace stopped working on a very cold night (10-degree forecast) and they sent somebody within a couple of hours who was able to get it running again. The old furnace was running inefficiently and he made sure we were not in danger. They came back the next day and checked it out again, and sent an estimate for replacing it with several options. After checking other estimates we made the decision and the new furnace was installed two weeks later. At one point prior to making the decision the pilot went out on the old furnace and they talked me through lighting it over the phone (it was after 5 and the on-call technician did this). They removed the old furnace and installed a new furnace, air conditioning, and humidifier. They did a great job of telling us the steps they would take, showing us how everything worked, and cleaning up every day. One of the reasons we hired them was their track record with us, they serviced our old furnace for many years and always did an excellent job -- some of the technicians have been to our house a few times. I am giving them an excellent rating on price, even though others might do it for less, because I believe you get what you pay for and they are worth it. And we really like our new furnace, can't wait for summer to try the air conditioning.
Description of Work: Lakewood Furnace replaced our 40-year-old furnace with a new Carrier high-efficiency furnace, air conditioner, humidifier, and programmable thermostat. It took about 3 days to complete the job but we were only without heat for a few hours during the day. We did not previously have air conditioning so all of the set-up for that was new. And because the furnace was so old they had to do a few extra steps that are now required. We received a couple of cost estimates that were less expensive but we have used this company in the past for repair of the old furnace and they have always been very responsive. Most of their employees have been with the company for many years and the ones we have worked with are very knowledgeable.

From call to solving the problem with new parts, the entire process took only 2.5 hours. The tech explained the problem, took out the malfunctioning part, explained why it had shorted out and went to get the part, came back and installed it in record time. I was not only impressed by the thoroughness, but speed, professionalism and moderate cost of the overall fix.
Description of Work: Returning from vacation, I found the furnace not working. A call to Lakewood Furnace the next morning brought out a repair tech within hours, it took him 10 minutes to diagnose the problem and take temporary measures to get the heat on while he went to pick up the part.

Every aspect of the experience was professional and friendly. When I made my initial call, the receptionist was very nice, immediately asked if my house still had heat, (to determine if this was an emergency call or not), asked a lot of questions to make sure the service tech would have the right information before he showed up. Bud, the service tech, called before he came out, as promised, said he'd be here in 10-15 mintues, and was on-time. He asked a lot of questions to determine what was going on. He quickly got to work, showed me exactly what was wrong, took care of the problem and answered a bunch of questions I had about service plans. He was very friendly, professional and cleaned up the wet footprints left on my floor. Without question, I would use Lakewood Furnace again.
Description of Work: My furnace was malfunctioning, lighting, blowing out, relighting, blowing out again, etc...Since it was early March, and still really cold, I quickly called Lakewood Furnace.

I should have had them come out in the fall and check the furnace and I did not, but I would probably have them in the spring to check the air-conditioner.and the whole system. I like that they are responsive, competent and they do a good job. I think that they are trustworthy and I they don?t try to oversell or put in things that I don?t need. The workers are fine and competent and once somebody comes in I don?t have to worry about whether they know what they are doing.

Lakewood Furnace did an A+ job except they left a lot of dust in the basement which took forever to clean up. The dust was from them tearing out the old system. They were professional. They also call before they come. We have used them for a few other things before as well.

We just bought a 1926 home in Lakewood and the furnace was making loud noises. I called Jim to see if someone would come out to give it the "once over". Jim agreed and said we would just have to pay for any necessary service that was provided. Kent came out and looked everything over, told us about the different parts, gave his opinion on age and condition, condition of filters and when they should be changed, as well as answered our questions. Because everything is in good condition and we didn't need a service, he didn't charge us. I thought it was great that he came out, spent 20 minutes with us and didn't charge us. I'll certainly use them if something comes up. Thanks, Jim and Kent!

This company was a no show for a scheduled Saturday appointment. I called around 3 and talked to someone that was not able to answer any questions as I was concerned something was screwed up as I was still waiting. I then waited more until almost 6 but then the office was closed and I had to call the after hours number and the answering service took my name and info and said the guy on call would call me. No one still did. Come Monday Lakewood furnace called with an apology and asked if i would like my furnace checked and cleaned free of charge that same week. I took them up on their offer as I have used them prior and liked them. The service guy came promptly at the scheduled time. He again apologized and the only thing I did pay for were for new filters. Lakewood Furnace was very professional in doing the right thing that a business should do when mixups occur-they have kept me happy as a customer and I would still use them again. It appears they had the correct phone number on file (ending in 07) and there was no note inside the door-not sure they went to the right house-think there may have been a number of mix ups. But in the end they made it right.
Description of Work: Scheduled them to come out to check/clean furnace. Cleaned furnace and replaced air filter and humidifier filter

Response from Lakewood Furnace Co
Our service tech called the phone number on his dispatch ticket @ 8:47am on Saturday and left a message. Unfortunately, the number was wrong. The number we had on file ended in 07 and the number left with our answering service early Saturday evening ended in 67. Our tech then called the alternate number on file but the name was diffrent on the recorded message. He then proceeded to the jobsite and found no one home and left a note inside the front door. No doubt we were wrong and this could have been avoided if we had the proper phone numbers. The first message we received from our answering service regarding the missed appointment was at 5:46pm on Saturday. I am not sure why they seemed so unwilling to answer your questions but I will be discussing this with them at meeting later today. We would be happy to provide you with a free furnace tune-up for all your inconvenience if your willing to give us another chance.

Got the job done quickly and efficiently.
Description of Work: Professional and prompt serviceman who completed the work in expeditious fashion. He even took a look at our radiators without an extra charge. Parts were pricey, however, and the same part replaced at a cost of $205 could be purchased online for $80. Quite a high markup IMO. Gave a $25 discount for angieslist members, so some savings.

Arrived on Thursday morning at 08:30AM. Done for the day at 03:00PM. Came back the following day at 08:30AM. Finished after 10:00AM. Old furnace was taken back for recycle. Radiators were drained and refilled after new furnace was installed. I was given two new radiator keys to bleed air from individual radiators. This helps a lot. New furnace works great! Great work and skill! They (Team of two) answered all my questions. New pump is quiet.

I called Lakewood Furnace and they were able to get someone out to my house the next day even though it wasn't an emergency situation. They also worked with my availability and let me know that I could get a more accurate estimate of the repairman's arrival if I called early the next day. I did call that next morning and found out that he would most likely get to my house between 12 - 2pm. He actually showed up at 12:00 on the dot! I've never had someone so punctual! The repairman was friendly and did a quick check of my A/C unit. He cleaned off the condenser which he thought might be the majority of the problem - while doing this, he explained the ways that I could best utilize my A/C and what I could do to prevent future issues. He found that the refrigerant was a little low, but after filling it, he let me know that the very slow leak was nothing to be concerned about. He was very honest and helpful. If I ever have any issues with my heater (he let me know what tends to go wrong with that unit so I could keep an eye on it) and A/C in the future, I will definitely be using their services! It was such a relief to find a place that is honest, punctual and low cost.
Description of Work: My A/C was not producing enough cold air and I needed someone to check/fix the unit.
