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.

It went fine. He came in, identified the broken piece, and we waited a week or two to have the work done. We ended up going with a different company because they were offering a deal.

They quoted me on an 80% efficiency AC. Very nice salesman came. There was an huge mark up on the AC unit. You have to be careful on what they are trying to sell you. People will price other units, and to be honest salesmen work on commission. I would use them for repairs only.

They wanted to start with the recharge of Freon in the AC unit, instead of spending more to locate an leak. They were very responsive, honest Technicians. They were straight forward, I signed on for an year service, where they came once an season.

Shawn showed up on time and proceeded to install our new home furnace. Shawn did an excellent job, explaining things as he went along and offering helpful suggestions on how to properly use our heating and cooling system most efficiently. He worked very hard, not only installing the furnace but also sealing any openings nearby. He fully tested both the heating and cooling system before leaving. We are very pleased with Care and the service they have provided us for a long time. We've had a service plan with them for many years, where they check our cooling and heating system twice per year. They've always been honest and trustworthy and we highly recommend them. We're snug as a bug with our new furnace!

I did not receive any notification to schedule the annual furnace maintenance until October 27, after the heating season had already begun. At that time, I was told that the service could not be scheduled until late December, the day after Christmas no less. After three years of monthly payments on a service contract at this address and multiple years at a previous address, I would expect a higher priority. Certainly not what they advertise!

The installers arrived on time. They were very professional, polite, clean, and efficient. They explained the operation details clearly before leaving. At the subsequent inspection by the city of Columbus, the inspector complimented the excellent installation. I would highly recommend care heating and cooling! The system has functioned beautifully.

When i called to schedule the furnace tune-up today, I was told that the two tune-ups were performed at the same time the previous March. Although I assumed that the issues related to the furnace were part of the warranty, I'm now told that the work was already done.
Description of Work: Purchased new Lennox Furnace in November, 2015. Included was a one year service agreement that provided for two semi-annual tune-ups for the furnace and A/C.

The service tech was trying to tell me that my heat exchanger was cracked and said that it would be about $1,900 in labor to fix it. There was no cost on the parts, because they are under warranty. This did prompt me to get a price on a new furnace, through CARE. I found out later, that there is no problem with my furnace and if there was, I could have had the same problem fixed for around $700.
Description of Work: I was wanting to get a second opinion on whether or not my heat exchanger in my furnace was cracked. I called them out, because they did sell me a new air conditioner several years ago.

The old a/c failed on Thursday. Wade came to our home Saturday and explained several options and costs based on our criteria. He was very helpful and not pushy. We made a choice of both a/c and new furnace and they were installed on Tuesday. Jason & Andy were professional, friendly and cleaned up after their work. They used heavy mats to protect our floors which was much appreciated.

great! the service tech was able to diagnose the issue immediately and was able to fix the problem within a half hour. He then explained their service plan as a payment option rather than paying for each individual service call (like this one) which I took advantage of and save some money plus have confidence of having the unit serviced twice annually at the beginning of heating and cooling seasons.
