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.

I called 4 days earlier my AC quit. They gave me the date of Thursday they put me on a waiting list if they could come out earlier. They ended up being able to come out a few hours earlier than they had originally said. Craig was the service guy that came out and he went out of his way to explain everything and checked everything out like I had asked him too.
Description of Work: They came out to fix the AC, repair the capacitor and check the system.

Great service at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: AC went out on the very hot Memorial Day evening. Called CARE Tuesday morning & got scheduled for Friday. CARE called Wednesday afternoon & said they could move my appointment up, so we agreed for them to come that afternoon. They arrived on time, replaced faulty capacitor, & showed us the old one. Thoroughtly cleaned the outside unit. Checked furnace inside. Technician was extremely professional - you could tell he'd had a lot of experience & knew exactly what he was doing. We signed up for their service contract. We had had a service contract with one of the area's largest competitors until last year when they diagnosed a problem with our furnace that required an extremely expensive part that they couldn't even supply immediately -- we called CARE for a pricecheck & they gave us a quote for the exact same part for much less, so they fixed the furnace immediately. We cancelled our old service contract and now we're with CARE for year-round maintenance.

The service was fantastic! Mike was professional yet friendly and conversational. He explained everything to me and I felt confident that he knew what he was doing and was being very fair and honest. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: The capacitor on my air conditioning unit needed to be replaced. My unit is not in the greatest shape and I need to replace it and my furnace in the near future. Mike realized that this was not something that was in my budget right now and did not try to pressure me into buying a new system. I appreciate that VERY much. I believe another company would have tried to sell me something even if I could not afford it. It's very clear to me that CARE really does "care" about their customers.

They were wonderful, honest, and had a good price. Before that we had a terrible experience with Atlas Butler, who actually hung a sign on the heater that said we couldn't use it because of carbon monoxide leaking. I called the gas company to check on this and they came out and said it wasn't leaking so I was not very happy with Atlas.

All the techs that have come have been nice. They have been fine with fixes. As far as generic work, my thermostat hasn't been working and all of the techs have just looked at it but not done anything to it. We have a humidifier attached to the furnace but they have just looked at it and not serviced it.
Description of Work: We have a yearly contract and they came out for maintenance on the furnace and A/C.

I used Care due to their excellent service on my old system. The sales presentation by Christie was clear, concise, knowledgeable and professional. She spelled out the options along with their benefits and pricing. It was not a high pressure sales presentation, and she wanted to know what was important to me before making suggestions. The installers were on time, professional and courteous.

I was given the date and time I choose for the install which was about a week in advance. The installer Mike was very friendly and professional and gave me a call before arriving. He laid down a drop cloth to avoid scratching floors and was very efficient in installing the furnace. It only took about about 4 1/2 hours. I had several questions and suggestions on placement of drain pipe which he answered and followed suggestions. The install went very smoothly with no problems. The city inspector found no problems, although he spent more time looking at the adjacent water heater than the furnace for some reason. I had to point him at the furnace to keep him on track. All he did for the most part was check for gas leaks.
Description of Work: Replace old (28 year) old furnace with new one of similar specifications (basic unit). Christie arrived on time and provided the estimate. I got three other estimates from A rated companies as well. CARE was the next to the lowest. After the estimate I had several other questions which I asked via e-mail. Christie answered them all promptly.

The CARE team was prompt, informative and professional during the entire process. The salesperson evaluated our home, our needs and recommended a Lennox furnace and a/c unit to meet those needs. The installation team arrived on time and went about their work. All our questions were answered completely and concerns addressed. Upon completion, the work areas were cleaned up and a full explanation of the equipment was given prior to collecting payment.
Description of Work: We had our 19 year old furnace and a/c replaced with new Lennox high efficiency system.

I have signed a maintenance contract with them a while back when they came and fixed my air conditioner condenser. They replaced a part on my humidifier so that it would start working. It hadn't been working for a couple of years and since it's been leaking, they've been out 3 times to fix that. They haven't charged me to come out. They charged me for the original part that they replaced on the humidifier, but I haven't been charged when I had to call them back to fix it when it was leaking. It has been good so far. I hope it doesn't leak again. I told the guy that I don't want to see him back here again until spring for the regular maintenance. I've been using them since this summer. I started using them because a neighbor referred them to me and then I checked them out on Angie's List as well.
Description of Work: I used the services of Care Heating and Cooling Inc about 3 weeks ago for fixing my humidifier. It keeps leaking and it's the 3rd time that they've tried to fix it.

This is the best service I have experienced from any company that has been to my house for any repair. From the person taking the calls, the person who kept me updated on the time of arrival and the repair - it was all excellent service. I just joined Angie's List last week and I am so glad I did. Thanks Angie's List & Care Heating.
Description of Work: Our furnace quit working Saturday afternoon. I called Care Heating and Devin came out within an hour of my call. I was able to purchase their 1 year maintenance plan(which also covered that day's service call). Usually a Saturday service call for anything is very expensive or you have to wait until Monday- not the case here. Parts were ordered and installed Tuesday morning. Devin was very professional, kind and answered all my questions as he was installing the parts.

I called Care Heating and Cooling after hearing on the radio a $29 service call fee through April. I was surprised that I was charged $89 for the service call, not $29. I also assumed I got an Angie's List discount but paid $89 anyway. This is probably my fault as I wasn't pressing the issue but I did mention on the phone I was an Angie's List member and mentioned it to Devin. Instead of paying $89 I went ahead and signed up for a one year service contract for $189. I did this based on the fact I was paying $89 now and I'd have CARE come out again the spring to check the A/C. Devin replaced my ignitor for me. I am glad he saw that it was not installed correctly nor it was the correct part. This cost me another $102. Very cheap for peace of mind. Overall I rated it a B experience and not an A because I don't think the radio ads should be selling a $29 service call fee and then charging $89. This should have been made clear on the phone when I called. The whole time I assumed it would be $29, and I even thought I may get an Angie's List discount on top of that. My expectation was paying $19-$29, not $89. Devin is top notch and I will use CARE again. I look forward to working with them in the future and hope this review is helpful to them so when clients call CARE in the future to schedule a service call CARE will be sure to explain what the $29 offer is as opposed to a normal $89 heating service call.
Description of Work: I called Care heating and cooling to schedule a service call. Devin came out and serviced our furnace and found an issue with our ignitor. He replaced it. He answered several questions that I had and spent some time providing options and quotes for adding additional services such as home humidifer and UV lighting to kills germs, etc.

The salesperson (Christie Marker) made an excellent presentation. She pointed out several problems with the installation of our current system and answered very thoroughly all our questions. She was not aggressive in pushing her product. She followed through in helping us to file for a power company rebate. The one--day installation went smoothly. The installers appeared to be very competent and were willing to answer all questions that we had.. They took away all old materials and thoroughly cleaned up.when they finished. The furnace is working well. We won't be able to judge the ac until spring.

No service was performed, but my contacts with the company were great.
Description of Work: Salesperson/Consultant was prompt, professional, knowledgable, and informative. Pricing was similar to the company that had installed the furnace and AC at our previous home. If we were new in town and hadn't had a good relationship with another company for 12-13 years, CARE would have been an easy choice for us. I would recommend getting an estimate from them and 1-2 other companies.

To combat my rising electric and gas bills I decided to replace my furnace and air conditioner. I had 4 quotes from the top rated companies here on Angie's list. I elected to go with Care because not only did they give me the best price they also made me feel most comfortable with the company. Care installed a 71000 BTU 2 Stage Variable Speed Furnace and a 16 Seer AC system in my house. The experience was great from the first sales visit from Mark Baker through the install. I'm a very inquisitive person and asked lots of questions and researched things on the net. Mark did a great job of explaining the tax credits and the AEP rebate which I still get off of the $5600 price. They did not pressure me and went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied with experience. The installers used drop cloths in the house and were even concerned about our dogs and took precautions not to let them out. They were polite and friendly and answered every question I wanted answered and gave me a great walkthrough after the system was in. I would recommend Care to all of my friends and family and I'm very pleased with my comfort level since the system was installed. Don't hesitate to choose this company for your needs.
