About us

If you are familiar with any of our advertising you know that these words are at the end of each and every one of our ads. But these eight words are more than just a slogan at CARE Heating and Cooling. They are our motto and the basis of our business philosophy, and the way we want to be remembered by you at the end of the day. From the beginning I wanted CARE be a different kind of company. After spending many years working for other heating and cooling companies, I became alarmed by the trends I was seeing in the residential heating and cooling industry. “Increase sales”, “raise your prices” and “make every employee a sales person” became the operating statements of many companies, leading to the biggest fraud of all: paying service technicians to sell replacement furnaces and air conditioners. In the 1980s a major manufacturer began to promote to its dealers a unique sales technique – have service technicians sell replacements. The rationale was that a service technician had the inherent trust of the consumer. If a repair was needed a service technician had ability to take advantage of that trust and offer to install a replacement system. This provided an immediate solution to an immediate problem that would lock out any competition, result in a much higher than normal selling price and much higher profits. Because companies make more money, a lot more in fact, selling you a new system rather than fixing the one you own this approach was widely adopted over the next couple of decades. To generate even more sales and profits many companies today apply a lot of pressure to service technicians to sell even more. Several local companies’ guidelines state specifically that a consumer is to be advised to replace their furnace if a repair, even a minor one, is needed whenever a furnace or air conditioner is over 10 years old. They set goals for their service technicians to turn at least 1 in 10 service calls into sales leads and pay them a commission when a unit is sold. Service technicians can also get caught up in the quest for more money, with some diagnosing problems that may not actually exist just to earn a commission. This is how “cat toys in furnaces” and “chipmunks with attitudes and power drills” became major problems. So what makes CARE Heating and Cooling different? It is my philosophy that we are in business not only to get new customers, but more importantly to keep them. Never will anyone in the service department profit by recommending to a consumer to replace their furnace or air conditioner. Not only do we offer free second opinions for a diagnosis of a bad compressor or heat exchanger, we will often second opinion ourselves when condemning equipment to be sure we have not made a mistake. If a mistake is made, it will be an honest one and we will stand behind everything we do. Lastly, you can trust us to offer you the lowest possible price on all services and installations we do. We are, and always will be, the best value in town. Thank you for considering CARE Heating and Cooling. Let us prove to you why you should call us “When you need a company you can trust.” Call CARE for the best possible service in central Ohio.

A friend referred the co. Had 2 other estimates also. Th co sent Wade Smith within a day or two to give a free est. Care had a great price for the AC and a furnace. The lowest. Installer (2 guys) came out at the specified time and done by 7:30. Didn't take any brks. Worked diligently and very neat, friendly with my dog. Explained the new system, included 1 yr maint at no x-tra price. Great experience, nice guys. Will recommend as a good company.

They were very professional when called. There was supposed to be a wait for several days since they were quite busy. They asked if I wanted to be called if there was a cancellation. The same day I was called from their office and the technician saying he could come over. He got our air working quickly and was very affordable. Thanks for a great job!
Description of Work: Air unit outside was no longer working. The blower inside was working and thermostat. Some wires outside were not working right.

The technician did a careful study, trying to revive the old system, but to no avail. Then, in a very professional manner, he explained our options. Given the age of the system, we decided to replace it. We then scheduled one of their sales people to come talk to us. He was prompt and very professional. He explained the different models available, pros and cons without any sales pressure. We made our choice and scheduled the installer. He too was prompt and very professional; he did a great job! We are now back in the comfort zone, nice and cool!
Description of Work: Our cooling suddenly went out. The fan blades on the outside cooling unit were no longer turning. Our unit was 22 years old. We called CARE and they sent their technician to analyze. He was there in a jiffy.

If it looks like a duct, and quacks like a duct (well, standard HVAC ductwork that is), I thought who better to do that than an HVAC company. I liked what I saw here on Angie's list about Care. However, after taking my number, checking and calling me back (very promptly), they claim not to do this. Not do what? Install ductwork? They guy on the phone was very nice and polite... but how does an HVAC company not install ductwork? Very confused and a bit disappointed. Not the experience I was expecting. Oh well... back to the drawing board.
Description of Work: I called to have some ductwork installed... specifically, to replace something that runs from my dryer to the outside of my house to vent the lint from my gas dryer.

Ed came with an assistant, who was in-training, learning the trade. Ed told me up front "we'll be here most of the day. We don't rush to another job. We want this done right the first time." True to his word, he was at our house form 8:15-5. When he was finished, he walked me through all he had done, and showed me how to operate. He was detailed and considerate. He carefully covered all the floor. I never felt uncomfortable with him in the house. He was professional and conscientious, and unobtrusive in the house.

Bought an older house so I called CARE to do a tune-up on our furnace because they seem to have a good reputation. The technician was very kind and professional and described everything that he checked. I purchased the plan so they would come back in spring for the air conditioner. All the tune-ups went fine, my only minor issue was the CARE Plan said it would have "priority scheduling" but when I called to schedule the spring appointment the timeline was at least 1 to 2 months before someone could come. What would it be like if I didn't have the plan?

The whole team was great! Kelly and Tate came out to do my twice yearly unit service. They immediately pointed out some safety issues and contacted their salesperson, Shane. Shane was at my home within two hours. He examined my current equipment and gave me my options. The installers were scheduled for two days later and spent 6 hours making everything up to their standards. They were all very personable, professional and made me feel very informed. They definitely had my best interest in mind. It wasn't just a job or for the money.

Care called to see if the technician could come before my scheduled time, which worked out great for me. James arrived and quickly got to work, and gave us good advice on improving our furnace filter. He checked out the system, and said everything was fine. We have had no problems in 10 years, and are reassured that we should have no issues in the near future.

Very well. All workers were knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. Each step was explained in detail that included installation of new ductwork and a touch screen thermostat. The use of the system was patiently explained and required a few returning calls to get the bugs out. They did this promptly and we couldn’t be happier with our system.
