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 were fabulous. Over 50% less expensive than another reputable company. They were right on time and clean and took the time to show and explain the problem. No charge for the diagnosis call. I am glad that I got a 2nd opinion from them!
Description of Work: I had cracks in my heat exchanger in my furnace. They checked with a CO2 monitor and found that there was some leaking into my home when the furnace was on. The part was under warranty, but the labor to replace it was $450. I had another company out who wanted $1,000 for the same job and wanted to push me into a new furnace.

I like their radio ads so I called them to get an estimate on some duct work and possibly getting more airflow to my second floor. I was told they would have to send out a technician and would have to pay a service fee. I wasn't having major problems. I just wanted to get an estimate on getting better airflow perhaps with better equipment. I told them I would have to call them back. When I didn't call them back the same woman I spoke to earlier called me back and virtually insulted me for not calling her back.
Description of Work: I did not end up using this company.

My A/C went out during a week of 90 degree heat. I called 2 companies who told me they couldn't come out for a week or more. CARE came that day. Quoted me on a repair & later on replacement. Helped me make an informed decision. Called & showed up for all appts when they said they would. Completed the work promptly & politely. Great company.

Called for heat pump service Monday afternoon 8/30, scheduled appointment for the next morning between 8:00-8:30. Service technician arrived at 8:00 sharp. The tech quickly determined the issue and replaced a capacitor in my 30 year old heat pump.The service call was a $79 flat rate. Total bill with part was $199.91 after Angie?s List coupon. Tech was here for 45 min. I rated a B on price because I don't believe that the capacitor was very expensive, so given the length of the call, assumed price of the part (probably less than $25.00), the additional $120.00 over the flat rate service call might be a bit high. Overall the service tech was very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. I would use again for service because of the punctuality and professionalism. When it comes time to replace our system I will include them on the bid list.
Description of Work: Performed a service call on a heat pump unit that was running but not blowing cool air. Replaced a blown capacitor on the unit.

I was impressed with their prompt service. I was able to save some money by signing up for their maintenance contract. I thought they were reasonably priced and they were very thoughtful about explaining what they had done to a novice.
Description of Work: Our air conditioner suddenly stopped working. When I called, they came the next day. They diagnosed the problem and fixed it with parts on their truck. They also checked the unit and replaced the filter.

During a particularly long hot spell, I started getting a lot of noise from the A/C unit in the basement. Sounded like a jack hammer. Anyway, I dialed the phone number for Care at about 9PM. The phone was answered by a service that took my name and number. I had a return call from someone at Care about 5 minutes later. I scheduled service for the next day. The next morning, I got a call around 9:30AM telling me that the tech was on his way. The tech arrived in a few minutes, was very courteous and knowledgeable. Within a few minutes, he discovered that my blower motor had locked and the fan wheel had completely come apart. Even though the brand name of my A/C unit was not one that Care installs, the tech assisted me in getting the part replaced under warranty. He called around to a couple of places, and within a couple of hours, I was back up and running (and cool!). Couldn't be more pleased with the service. Care offers a maintenance plan that includes two seasonal "tune-up" calls, as well as discounts on any other service that might be required. I'm planning to take advantage of it this fall.
Description of Work: Replaced entire blower wheel and motor assembly

On the 90 degree day before my parents moved into their new home, the air conditioning went out. We called Care's 24/7 line that night and arranged for them to come to the house to the next day. They arrived at 9 am and quickly diagnosed the problem. The project ended up being a labor intensive one--dye test, disassembly of the outside unit, repair of the problems, evacuation of remaining coolant, etc. The work was done well and the service person was professional. We would definitely use them again.

We had been living with a broken air conditioner for 15 years, but when our 30+ yr old electric furnace stopped working in November, I called CARE H&C because of their radio ads. I was surprised that the phone was answered by the owner Mike; I recognized the voice from radio and thought it was a recording at first so when he finished, I just waited for someone else to start talking. He had to say "Hello?" a couple times before I realized he was really talking to me. I explained that our furnace had stopped working and he sent a repairman out the next day. When the CARE repairman opened the furnace, he found all the electrical wiring had been burned to a crisp and let us know how lucky we were that it had burned itself out and just shut down. Since the furnace was so old, there were no parts available for it anymore, so they arranged to have a salesman come out to the house a couple days later to provide me an offer on new equipment. He took into consideration the small size of my house and the fact that I had that broken central air conditioner and gave me an offer for an more energy-efficient heatpump type of equipment, that would provide both heat and air conditioning! 9 days later, two men came and took out the old furnace and put in the new box downstairs and a new airconditioner thing outside where the old one used to be. They were so fast that my brain did not think of questions until after they were done and gone. So I was looking at the heatpump thing in the basement and could not figure out where the air filter would go and had to call the company to ask. (there were little black screws on one side that you unscrew to lower a panel where the filter slides in). Then in the summer, we got excited about having airconditioning and turned it on - only to not have it work. So I called the company and they tried to help me over the phone, but when nothing worked, they sent out a repairman the next day, who fiddled with controls and went downstairs and then went outside. He came back a moment later and took me outside and showed me that some big circuit breaker outside had been put in upside down (which is done while installing everything to keep from being electricuted) and that when you flip it over, it completes the electric circuit. He said the installers must have forgotten to flip it over after they installed everything (remember, they were very fast). Nice thing was he did not charge me for the visit, so I was happy. I am glad I waited to submit my report or I would not have been able to talk about the air conditioning incident since that was 7 months later. Now it is 2010 and the furnace and airconditioning have been working great ever since and, as i mentioned before, my electric bill for the year is still lower now (even using both heat and airconditioning) than when we used the old furnace for just heat and had no airconditioner.
Description of Work: Repairman looked at broken electric furnace ($70), but since it was over 30 years old, we ended up working with Salesman to get a new heat pump/exchanger ($5222) that provided both heat and air conditioning to the house with a lower electric bill.

Low pressure sales. Came to my home on time, walked me through the process, left me a quote and left. They didn't keep bugging me. Installers were right on time, worked very fast in my opinion, cleaned up entirely and walked me through all the features and controls. No surprises. Everything went very well.

I called from work to schedule the appointment and the lady who took my information was responsive and helpful. My spouse met the technician at home where the A/C repair took place and arrived from her place of work only minutes ahead of the technician. From the time I placed the call, to the arrival of the technician, was most likely less than 1/2 hour. The technician provided my spouse with a couple of options for the repair which varied in price and warranty duration and he took the age of our A/C unit into consideration. Given the age of the A/C unit, over twenty five years, and our desire to replace this unit within the year, he agreed that the less expensive fix was fine. In addition, we were not pressured in to replacing our A/C unit and the repair was completed in timely and efficient manner. I intend to obtain one of my estimates for a new A/C and furnace from this company in the fall.
Description of Work: The condenser was replaced on our A/C unit.
