We went back and forth on repairing the unit he wanted to replace it, but it just needs repaired. They missed an appointment and I called to find out they pushed it back a week due to being too busy. I believe it was a low dollar referral, just being a repair. This home has no heat and they seem to not care. They advertise a 24 hour emergency service, but they pushed my appointment back to next Wednesday and I am not happy as I have also pre-paid for this service.

The diagnostic fee is way too high at $95.00, and it doesn't cover ANY work that might need to be done. Even clearing a plugged line that took 2 minutes!! The repair man told us that he had to charge $ 85.00 FLAT RATE to unplug the line because that was the company policy. We agreed to it ONLY because we had already invested $95.00 and we needed heat. This company policy is horrible. I called and spoke to the owner to see if she would make an exception under the circumstances and waive the extra $85.00 (as good customer relations) and she wouldn't budge. I'm disgusted that we had to pay $180 for a 2 minute repair. We have used Bluflame prior to this service call but we will not be calling them again.

Response from Bluflame Service Co
November 07, 2014: [Member name "C" removed] called requested service for a no heat. On the phone he was told that there would be a $95.00 diagnostic charge to come out and to determine what was wrong and that when the Technician determine what was wrong he would present the needed repair and costs for prior approval. Upon arrival our technician diagnosed the problem, presented the needed repair and the price to [member name "C" removed]. [Member name "C" removed] agreed and initialed the invoice to ok the price and authorize the repair. Our technician completed the repair, cycled and tested the unit then collected payment and left. Approximately a week later a [member name "J" removed] called, not [member name "C" removed], and spoke with Julie. She informed Julie that we should make an exception and not charge for our work. Julie asked [member name "J" removed] why and if there was a problem with our work. [Member name "J" removed] assured her there was no problem and that everything we did was fine. Then again [member name "J" removed] stated her case that we should not charge for the repair this time, because that would make her a happy customer. When Julie declined, [member name "J" removed] stated that if we did not return the repair costs, she would begin a campaign of complaints to consumer agencies and web sites. With no concerns or troubles with our work, [member name "J" removed] called only to request money, a “refund” for amounts that were exactly as presented to and ok’d by [member name "C" removed] before we came out and or for a repair price that was exactly as quoted to and ok’d by [member name "C" removed] on site before any repairs were made. [Member name "C" removed], called, scheduled, authorized and paid for the service. At any time he had the option to not have us come out or to decline any repairs if he desired, but he choose to have us come out and he choose to have us complete the repair, so we did. We do warrant our work, we have and will always stand behind our work and we will make every effort to correct any mistakes that we may make. However; we do not and will not issue refunds solely to avoid a threat of slander.

Jay, the serviceman, did a thorough job, explaining everything. He had the needed parts on the van and made recommendations for a future service schedule. I feel good about having this done and would recommend Bluflame to others, obviously. My job wasn't an emergency but they did have a technician here within an hour. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
Description of Work: Did a complete service check, swapped out filter (I provided the filter, though), and replaced a condenser after showing me what it was rated or expected to do and it wasn't. Also cleaned the points inside main furnace.

Technician arrived about 30 min. after I called. Service went well. My issue was with the Angie's list discount I should have received. I specifically asked for my Angie's list discount and the technician said no discount was available for Angie's list customers. Technicians should be informed of available discounts. I'll take my discount now please.

The technician was very professional and explained everything he was doing. He had the part that was needed in his van and fixed the furnace. Total time was about 1 hour for troubleshooting and repair. My only complaint is with the cost of the replacement part. I have no problem with the $170 service fee for a Saturday but I was charged $185 for a pressure switch. A quick look online and I found the same part number for approximately $50. I paid because I wanted my furnace running again but it just seemed a bit of an excessive markup.
Description of Work: The furnace would not turn on. I told the technician that it did the same sort of thing before 8 years ago when a pressure switch when out. He looked everything over and found that a pressure switch did go bad.

It went very well as i thought i had more serious problems with both furnaces. the technician Victor opened up both furnaces and found that most of the trouble was being caused by dirty operating conditions as the house furnace filter was plugged and not drawing very much air causing all of the strange noises that were coming from the furnace while it was trying to run. He did find a couple of old parts in the furnace that were old and out of specified operating ranges that i had him replace for me. the dirty conditions were my fault due to my neglect, mainly because out of sight out of mind, this wont happen again. The other overhead hanging garage furnace had the same problem as the house furnace dirty operating conditions, this unit doesn't use an air filter but dirt still worked its way into vital gas orifices. Victor the cleaned as needed also he cleaned the spark igniter, and flame senor as well. I appreciate his honesty, and good work habits, as he could of told me and try to sell me two new furnaces. As he advised me that the the large house furnace isn't made anymore and replacement part inventories are starting to run low, as this furnace is 17 going on 18 years old. and should start shopping for a new furnace in the near future, but Victor did say this furnace still does have some useful service life to it yet. But i should start saving some money towards a new furnace, as he said his companies price would be about 3100.00 to replace the furnace, but he also said to get the price from the sales department as all he does are furnace repairs, not sales.
Description of Work: Cleaned and checked two furnaces, one for the entire house, and the other is an overhead hanging garage furnace.

They’re great, and provide awesome service. We already plan on buying a new HVAC system from them, because they have been the ones who helped me so much. Years ago they helped in an emergency when the heat went out, and they came out within a half hour when nobody else would come.

Here is my issue with the service. What the serviceman did,he did well. However, I wanted a lead to copper union replaced since it appeared to me that the gasket had split. I also asked about a relief valve that leaked. The serviceman ,by his own admission, wasn't sure how to do this. When I call someone to service my boiler, I expect all the needed work to be done. Do I know have to pay for another service call?
Description of Work: Gentleman at the Sylvania office was knowledgeable and ready to answer questions I had about my boiler. As a result, I had one of their service people clean the burners on my boiler. This they did at the quoted $99 cost. Another part was marginable and I was given the option of having it replaced,which I elected to do bringing the total cost to @$139. He did not hard sell the additional part. If I remember correctly, the part was identified as a "coupler".

After seeing your review we started an analysis your service history. Our records indicate that we have not done any boiler work at this address. The last service record we show for your address is for a minor gas line repair performed for the prior owner in January of 1997. If this is incorrect or there is anything we can do for you, please give us a call.

From the initial meeting with there sales rep to having the furnace/water heater installed they displayed professionalism thigh out the process. They originally stated they thought it would take 2 days but were able to get it done in one day. An absolutely great experience. We highly recommend Bluflame for your next furnace needs.

All went well and we are very satisfied. We had Bluflame come back over on 12/11/12 to service the other 3 furnaces in our building and they did an excellent job and ex plained all the issues. They even discounted two of the furnace cleanings.
Description of Work: The representative came and spent an hour explaining what would be done and was very professional. He came back a few days later with a written estimate. We were so impressed that we didn't consult any other companies. Two service men came the following week to replace our furnace (which was on the 3rd floor), air cleaner, and humidifier. They also removed another furnace up there that was never used and was old, and removed an old air conditioning unit that was outside. All was completed in one day and works fine.

I started using Blue Flame over 10 years ago. My furnace went out in the middle of the night and it was 10 degrees below zero. I called several companies and each said your not a regular client so we will try to come out tomorrow. I could not wait and called Blue Flame . They were at my house in an hour and from that day I swore I would never use any other HVAC company.They have done alot of work on our furnace//ac and we will buy our new furnace/ac from them. It was 104 degrees yesterday and by the time I got home from work the ac was out. I called Blue Flame at 08:30 the next morning,they were at my door at 09:30 and the air was running by 10am. I would highly recommend this company, I will never use anyone else!

I like them a lot. They are really good. They are very informative. We were at a point where we didn't know if we needed a new furnace or if we could fix the one we had. They actually showed us on paper that we could keep pouring money into the old furnace and it would cost as much as getting a new furnace. They come back out every year to make sure everything is working properly. They are very friendly and professional. We have been using them for 37 years. We keep calling them because we trust them. Their price is comparable with other companies.

Their bid was the lowest estimate of the three I received. So, I upgraded from a 95 per cent efficient furnace to a 97 per cent efficient furnace and for an additional $400 had a humidfier installed as well. The were very professional. Two men arrived about 8:30 am and finished around 1:00 pm. In that time, they removed the old furnace and installed the new one with the existing air conditioning that I had replaced the previous year. Everything was done so professionally, it was better than I expected. They removed the old furnace from the basement and left the new furnace and humidifier with everything spic and span around it. I recommend them very highly.

Response from Bluflame Service Co
Member, First; I would like to apologize for any repeat trouble after our service. Since such calls are an inconvenience to our prior customer, create delays for current customers and are an expensive issue for the company, we strive to eliminate these through continual training classes and even onsite technical assistance. Given the fact that even new parts can fail and people can make mistakes, we have a one year warranty on our repairs. We take this responsibility serious, and since 1954 we have always stood behind our work. We were called out because your air conditioner was not working. Monday 7/27/2009, Ticket # F51245- Upon arrival our Technician Tom noted that your thermostat was not calling for cooling as it should. The thermostat was replaced for $129.00; based on your description, I assume he also connected an existing common wire, (since there was no charge to pull a new thermostat wire). Doing this it allows your thermostat to operate off the furnace most of the time, extending your battery life and reducing related problems. He also noted that the unit was in need of routine maintenance, this too was completed for $88.00. With our service call of $75.00, the invoice total was $292.00. After an additional call stating you were experiencing a problem, an appointment was scheduled for Monday 8/3/2009 at 8:00am. Monday 08/03/2009, Ticket # F51724- Our Technician John arrived at your home at 8:00am for our appointment. We did not get an answer at the door or the phone. With no subsequent return calls to reschedule, we were unable to address this. I do understand that as with any home service, meeting the company is not always easy; however for in home service this is still a necessity.

They are very good. They are very professional, thorough and very clean. They didn?t get anything dirty in my house while going in and out. They didn?t damage anything. They were very efficient and very quiet. I would recommend them. They were very trustworthy. The owner of the company came out and assessed my situation. He told me what my options were and gave me all the pricing. He was very thorough and honest.
