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.

They arrived on time and completed their work professionally. They also explained the various functions of our furnace to wife and I as we recently purchased this home and were left with little information regarding the HVAC system.

The whole experience was great, the company provided detailed estimate and information with no pressured sales pitch.
Description of Work: In April I had another company come to check my heating system. The company had sub contractor came, the contractor either used a old carbon monoxide detector or tried to trick me because he was in and out of my house trying to set the carbon monoxide detector for 15 minutes before he went down to the basement. He showed me the carbon monoxide counts was so high I needed to replace the whole heating system right away and gave me an estimate. I had Columbus Gas come to check and was told the carbon monoxide counts was 0 with a very expensive detector been used. I contacted Care Heating and Cooling came recently they confirmed no issue with carbon monoxide counts. Since my heating system is over 20 years, they do suggest that I consider to replace it and provide an estimate which was far less than the other company. The whole experience was great, the company provided detailed estimate and information with no pressured sales pitch.

My experience was great from the phone call to the technician leaving. I called on Monday to receive service and due to high demand, the soonest I could get scheduled was Friday. The rep offered to put me on a short call list. Later that evening I received a call that the technician could honor my availability on the short call list. I was extremely pleased. Joe W., the technician was friendly. He called prior to the visit and made sure to keep his presence tidy (I've had techs track in dirt before). He immediately went to the problem - a blown fuse within yhe furnace. It would have been extremely easy for him to turn a blown fuse into a costly repair or even charge outrageous rates for doing so. Joe explained me to me the innerworkings of the furnace as well as simple maintenance for my HVac systems in the future. Although he explained the one year service agreement, there was zero high-pressure sales. The name of the company and the service matched up. Kuddos to leadership at this company! You have a lifetime customer and I will be sure to tell others. Thank you for your honesty and professionalism.

I was glad that they were on time. The team made sure they explained every step. I'm also very surprised that the team stayed to make sure the furnace was working correctly. I'm glad they did because there was a small issue that was easily fixed. They were very friendly and professional, and easy to talk to

I called CARE and they were able to schedule my appointment within two days. They could have come sooner but I wasn't available. Tim was the person who came to my home. He called about 15 minutes before he arrived. He thoroughly tested my system and confirmed that my compressor was kaput He explained my options regarding repair or replacement. I asked a couple of questions which Tim happily answered. We even set up an appointment for one of CARE's salespeople to visit me next week. I would also like to mention that I called CARE's office multiple times last week. All of the women that I spoke with were helpful, friendly, and understanding. It was a great experience except for the broken air conditioner..... which CARE Heating and Cooling had nothing to do with.

They had to come back out. You don't pay like by hour, It didn't take them very long. I know it's expensive to have plumbers and HVAC people come out. Probably the same pricing as what most people are. We had to have them come out multiple times. When they said that they fixed stuff; essentially they said they disconnected some things so that it should work fine, and then when the seasons changed it didn't work fine, and then we had to have them come back out. I feel like they just tried to sell me a new HVAC system and that seemed to be their goal. They had one of their sales people come out and tell me I needed a whole new system. The system works fine actually. It's old but it's incredibly well maintained. It's not the most efficient by any means, but there's nothing per say wrong with it. They made it sound like there was something wrong with it and I should get a new one. I had other people look at it and they say there's nothing wrong with it.
Description of Work: They came out and inspected our heaters because they weren't blowing heat.

We evaluated 3 bids for this service. Care won the bid process because of the comprehensive info provided during their visit pre bid, and they also alerted us that another bidder over-charged us horribly on coolant for our old A/C unit 4 weeks earlier. We got a refund from factory co-pay due to Care alerting us. Plus Care included a 1 yr. service contract at no cost.
