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.

I called Care Heating & Cooling to schedule an annual furnace check (They had a Big Deal for $49). They were scheduling a month in advance in October, but it wasn't a big deal because it wasn't an emergency. They have repaired my air conditioner before and did a great job. The Tech (Matt Yates) came out exactly on time. He is great. He works efficiently and effectively. This is a good company that will tell you the truth and fix the problem instead of just telling you to replace something. He got the furnace working great and I will call next spring for a check on the AC. Highly recommend.

The serviceman was professional, no problems there. When he gave me an estimate to replace the motor though, I was shocked. He said it would take about an hour to install with parts and labor totaling close to $800, or a little less if I bought a service contract. When I called the company the next day, they would not give me a breakdown of how much was parts and how much was labor. Having worked in the automotive repair field for over 40 years, I have never heard of such a thing. I found I could obtain a new factory replacement motor for $165. I installed it myself in about an hour and I am no HVAC expert but it was quite easy. I'm not against any business making a fair profit but this seems very excessive to me.

I was thankful that Care Heating and Cooling called me promptly in the morning on Monday, since my furnace was not working and it was cold in here. Seth arrived in the early afternoon and did a thorough job of diagnosing my furnace issue and fixing it, as well as checking for other issues and making sure the furnace was running well. He explained to me what caused the problem, which was helpful. He wore floor protectors on his shoes, and did not mind going into the crawl space. Seth was friendly and efficient, and I would definitely call Care again if I were to have any further furnace or air conditioning problems. They gave great service at a very reasonable price.

The Angie's List deal for a $49 furnace inspection, tune up, and cleaning was very competitive. Working with this company was very easy. Scheduling my service appointment was quick and painless. Matt was my technician, and he was prompt, courteous, and did a nice job. I would definitely use this company again in the future.

I called on Care H & C for a seasonal tune-up for our ten year old Trane furnace. The Care technician said we needed a new heat exchanger which would cost about $2,000 or replace the whole furnace. He said something about the heat exchanger being "clogged up" and our furnace is inoperable due to carbon monoxide issues. I called another company for a second opinion and they found no problems with our heat exchanger. Our two brand new carbon monoxide detectors aren't measuring anything. Beware of Care using fancy diagnostic print outs to say that you need a new heat exchanger. At least get a second or third opinion!! Care also had to change the time of the appointment and the Care technician was a little late arriving from the changed time. I don't trust Care Heating and Cooling.

Care Heating and Cooling is excellent. I had another company inspect and repair a furnace. That tech fixed a minor problem but claimed to find other serious problems and condemned the furnace, claiming it was unsafe to operate and must be replaced. That tech turned off the gas valve and drove away. I called Care for a second opinion. They arrived right on time and inspected the furnace. They used the first technician's notes to try to find these serious problems. They assured me those problems did not exist and the furnace was perfectly safe to use. They turned the furnace back on. More amazing, they have a policy that if they are providing a second opinion to verify a furnace heat exchanger leak, they will charge nothing for the inspection to confirm the issue. So my visit was free of charge. Let me repeat this. Care Heating and Cooling drove across town, inspected my furnace, and turned it back on free of charge. The tech made it a point to tell me about that policy and find it on the previous notes so he could avoid charging me. I recommend Care Heating and Cooling and will use them exclusively in the future.

It went fine. One of their techs called of which necessitated me to change my plans. The board cost appox $600 and would have wanted other options. The furnace is 22 yrs old and would have liked options on a new one. With the warranty of only a year on the part...I might have considered getting another system. Now I just hope this piece lasts.

CARE Heating and Cooling, Inc. was more than accommodating. This company was called on October 1, 2015 to check out our furnace and air conditioning system. A representative came to us ON THE VERY SAME DAY!!. He explained very clearly the problems we were having and the solutions. We needed a whole new furnace and air conditioning system. The system we had was over 15 years old and worn out. So we were given a price for a brand new heating and which included military AND senior citizen discounts! We are paying through our home equity line of credit. The system was put in on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 and it only took 4 hours! To us that is quick!! The men were very professional and made my dog Cody feel at ease. The whole process beginning to end happened so quickly. I am amazed how Care Heating and Cooling, Inc. made putting in a whole heating and A/C system so simple. I will definitely use this company again and I highly recommend this company to others. Added note, because we have a new furnace and air conditioning unit put in, our home owners insurance has been lowered $30.00 which makes it really nice for us since we are both retired and on a fixed income.

Really amazing service... My A/C quit working on Monday, I called Care Tuesday morning and they had someone out that same afternoon (within the time window given). The tech even called to let me know he was on the way. While I was worried that I was going to have to replace the unit (14 years old now), the rep tested some various parts in the unit, and said it's only the capacitor. not only that, but he had one in the truck. Instead of having to go days on end with out A/C, and spending thousands of dollars for the fix (which I had expected), it was under $235 and fixed in about 10-15 minutes, and now my house is finally cool again. I wish all companies were like Care. A++++ Recommend highly.

Ed, Evan, and James arrived promptly at 8 A.M., working through lunch, replacing one water heater and converting the furnace to natural gas. Since Bright Star gas had not unlocked the water, they left us with one functioning water heater. They returned the next morning and finished the install just as the gas company arrived to unlock and test the water. Everything was started and tested.

Response from CARE Heating & Cooling Inc
Dear Member, I have reviewed the work completed during your service call on 06-29-15, found on the invoice the technician completed during his visit. Please rest assured that your technician thoroughly checked your air conditioner to ensure that you have a properly operating system. Your technician checked all the relevant components of your air conditioning system, and recorded the metrics for each item. These included the refrigerant pressures (121/221psi), the subcool and superheat of the system (7.2sc/14.7sh), the temperature drop (19.8 degrees), your compressor operation and amp draw (6.7a), the fan motor operation and amp draw (.39a), the contactor operation, the capacitor operation (44.8/7.6mfd), the wiring loom, the fan blades, and inspection of the coil. The technician installed your provided air filter, and documented that you had just washed your outdoor coil, so it was not in need of cleaning at that time. The technician cleaned out a dirty electrical compartment on the air conditioner, and verified the system was operating properly to factory specifications. The average air conditioner check up lasts approximately an hour, unless obstacles are encountered or a repair is needed. I hope you think of us first if you have any future needs for your HVAC system. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us and we will do our very best to address any concerns you might have. Kind regards, Mike McCain Service Manager
