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.

Went extremely well...we had 4 estimates and chose this company based on pricing, knowledge of product and we liked the salesman (Mark) when he came to give us an estimate...very nice and down to earth..we did not feel like we were pressured whatsoever. Installed 95% efficiency furnace with a media filter and a new air conditioning unit. They were on time date of installation, very courteous and professional. Took it upon themselves to fix an air intake box while here and even added insulation to our dryer vent pipe to keep it from sweating at no extra charge. The owner even stopped by while the installation was taking place. Everything was explained to our satisfaction. Would highly recommend this company to anyone; there is good reason they are highly rated on Angie's List!

Everything about them was fine. They were punctual. The first time they came the guy who came checked and said everything was fine. My husband and I can?t get up on lasers. More over out schedules were different and we could not get up the stairs. We waited a couple of days before getting the work done. I then called them and told them that the guy did not do what he was supposed to do. They sent the same guy who did the adjustments. I was pleased with them.
Description of Work: I used Care Heating & Cooling Inc last year to repair our furnace. The furnace was not giving enough heat. Some of the rooms were cooler than they usually would. They checked our furnace and make sure it was operating correctly. They helped us adjust some things and redirect the air.

The technician determined that the water leak was happening because the evaporator pad in our Carrier humidifier had disintegrated and needed to be replaced. However, the technician's office told me that my humidifier was old, and the parts were no longer available. They quoted a cost of about $450 to totally replace the humidifier, rather than repair our existing one. I then called a nearby Carrier dealer, who had about 10 of those evaporator pads in stock. My husband put the evaporator pad in our humidifier for a cost of $40.
Description of Work: The technician performed our annual furnace inspection, including investigating a water leak.

Went well from the initial estimate to the final inspection by the City inspector. Salesperson and installers were professional and easy to communicate with. The City inspector was impressed with the installation job; he could tell they knew what they were doing! I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again and I intend to utilize them for my annual maintenance.

Overall, my experience with Care was fantastic. The sales folks were nice, on-time and honest. The installers were nice, funny to my toddler daughter, professional and patient with questions. Most importantly, to me, they respected my house - used drop-clothes and cleaned up after themselves when they were finished. I can't say enough about my experience with Care, I'd highly recommend them for your HVAC needs.
Description of Work: My old Lennox furnace was approx. 17 years old - but still worked fine. I have a pending newborn and an infant in the house already so I didn't want to be stuck in the cold when the old Lennox kicked the bucket. I had Care come out and give me an estimate on a new unit, installation, etc. (along with 4 other companies). Care ultimately won my business based on price, Lennox brand name and most importantly - referrals from 2 folks that I trust. They sold and installed a new air conditioner and a new furnace for me.

From the first contact, through the sales process and finally the installation process, Care was extremely professional. Their staff was knowledgable, and quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. They willingly worked around my schedule for both the sales call and the installation. Plus, their price was in line with other quotes that I received. I hope that I don't need to replace my furnace again, but if I do, I will call Care again.

Went well---finished more quickly thank we expected. However, after the technician left, my husband (thank heavens) went into the basement to check the new furnace out and discovered that piping had come completely unattached and fumes were spewing into the house. He opened windows and called the technician who returned and repaired it, but if my husband hadn't been curious enough to go downstairs, it could have been deadly.
