CARE Heating & Cooling Inc

Heating and Air Conditioning, Appliance Repair, Plumbing,

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.

This company was referred to me by a friend when my air conditioning failed this summer, but I still had to check Angie's List to make sure I was making a wise choice. They lived up to their "A" rating. The sales person was there in a flash to go through all my options and give me a quote - no hard sales push, just the facts about what I needed (and what I didn't need). The installers arrived on time and worked straight through until they were done. They were respectful, quiet and neat (even in muddy conditions) and took the time to explain everything to me before they left.

Very professional. Easy to make appointments. I loved that the tech did not walk in the door and shove a service agreement in my face. He replaced the Freon and suggested I schedule a leak check since I had replaced the Freon last year with another company. I was a little leary about contacting someone as I had a bad experience with another major company, initials AB. They charged me almost $600 for the same work I had done today. I would definitely recommend Care Heating & Cooling.

I called Care after a previous visit by another individual failed to diagnose a burning smell emanating from the floor vents. I received a call from the office 20 minutes before my appointment time to let me know the technician would be a little late. Jeff arrived about 15 minutes past our schedule appointment time and spent about 15 minutes diagnosing the furnace problem. He explained in detail the problem he found, the the cost of the repair, and if I had any additional problem later, what they could possibly be. He had the part required with him, so within a half an hour, the furnace was fixed and running normally. I thought the price was a bit high, but not having anything to compare it to, I can't say for sure.

This was 1 of 3 companies that I received an estimate from for replacing my home furnace. The salesman that came to the house was professional and well-informed on the products he offered. He did a very good job explaining the basic technical aspects of furnaces. I asked for quotes on 3 Lennox models. The estimates were very close to the company I eventually chose for equivalent products, so pricing seemed on target. He checked back with me after I had talked to the other 2 companies. Eventually, my decision was weighted towards a smaller independent company (found by word-of-mouth), where the sales person is also the owner and chief technician. The decision was very close as I thought over the pros and cons of each.

Very well. I had no heat and they came out immediately and repaired my furnace. However, later in the day, the furnace stopped heating up once again. I called at 7:30pm and they sent out a technician on call to check out the problem. They promptly repaired it.

I contacted Care Heating to get an estimate to replace my heat pump. Mike Brewer came out and looked at my unit and said he would go back to the office and fax me a proposal. It has been over two weeks and I have not heard from him. I called Swiss Air and got an estimate from them and there are going to do the work for me.

Response from CARE Heating & Cooling Inc
I AM SORRY TO HEAR WHAT HAPPENED. I SPOKE TO MIKE BREWER ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MEMBER WANTED A QUOTE ON A BRAND THAT WE DID NOT SELL AT THE TIME. CONSEQUENTLY, THE MANUFACTURER WAS RELUCTANT TO RELEASE PRICING SO MIKE COULD PROVIDE A QUOTE ON A TIMELY BASIS. WE HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY BECOME A DEALER FOR THIS BRAND, BUT IT WAS NOT IN TIME TO PROVIDE A TIMELY QUOTE. MIKE SHOULD OF INFORMED THE MEMBER AS TO THE DIFFICULTY IN GETTING THE QUOTE TOGETHER INSTEAD OF LEAVING IT HANGING. FOR THIS I DO APOLOGIZE. MIKE WIENS PRESIDENT CARE HEATING AND COOLING, INC.

These people came out to my home on the coldest night of the year to fix my old furnace, even though I had no service contract with them.(My previous service contractor never returned my calls.) These folks were SO good, SO reliable, SO responsive, I didn't even shop around when I needed a new furnace. They explained everything, and the final cost was not fattened by all kinds of hidden, unnecessary extras that so many other 'mill shops' employ. I highly recommend CARE for their thoroughness and dependability; they are worth their weight in gold!

Called Tuesday evening because the furnace was running very loud. Was given a next day appt. Overnight the furnace stopped working completely. Jeff, the technician arrived promptly at 8:00 AM on Wednesday immediately diagnosed the problem and told me that he would have to get the part and would be back later in the day. Jeff arrived at 3:45 replaced the inducer fan motor. The only downside was that I had to wait most of the day in a very cold house (about 48 degrees).

As a new customer, I called Care at about 2:00 pm on a Monday. They had a technician at my house by 5:00 pm. The technician was very friendly and professional. He answered all my questions and educated me on what filters to purchase and how frequently the filter should be changed. He spent extra time turning on the heat to unfreeze our coil as it was a very hot day. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Care came out to repair an air conditioning problem. They checked and found our dirty filter had caused the coil to freeze. The technician unfroze the coil and left a new filter. The air works perfectly now.

As a result of an inspection CARE performed when we were in negotiations to buy our house, we hired them to install a new high efficacy furnace and A/C system. Mike came out to the house and explained the various options in a honest and no pressure meeting. He did not try to sell me the top of the line unit rather the unit that best fit my needs. He answered all my questions and was always quick to respond to phone calls. Due to the problem with the old unit Mike had his crew out to our house quickly to change out the system. The installers were very courteous and cleaned up after themselves. Later in the summer when the A/C had a problem they were quick to fix the problem, no questions asked.
Description of Work: CARE removed of an existing HVAC System and replaced it with a new high efficiency furnace and A/C system. They also installed a humidifier and air filtering system.

The president came out and looked at my furnace and stated yes it could be repaired but also quoted me a price to replace it. Very reasonable priced at about $2000.00 under the lowest bid I received. Everything was installed quickly and correct. Included a furnace, air conditioning unit, thermostat, and new piping.

It was a very good experience. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The price was very fair.
Description of Work: A routine 3-year checkup was performed on my 16 year-old Trane XL1200 heat pump by this company. Jeff did a very thorough check of my system, checking some things that I never saw being checked before by other companies. He even pointed out a hard-to-see oil lube port on the blower motor, oiled it, and gave me a small bottle of oil to use once a year on my own. I don't believe any service technician has ever oiled this motor in the past. As the accordian-style airfilter had at least another 6 mos. of life in it according to Jeff, I saved $35 by postponing its replacement until later.

They were easy to contact in that they have a person who answers calls. They were easy to schedule an appointment with, and I did not have to wait more than a day. I called before they came, and they arrived on time. Best of all, he arrived with all of the equipment he needed to service 3 furnaces and air conditioners.
Description of Work: He tuned up and cleaned all 3 furnaces and 3 AC units, replaced all filters and electrostatic filters, and replaced the motor on one of the AC units. We are very pleased and will call this company from now on.

(I'm sorry I can't remember how much I paid. It was not just for the work, but for the whole year.) They were great. Polite, careful, clean and efficient. I had seen their name on Angie's list, but also have a friend who uses them and raves about this company. Plus, they liked our dogs! I was very impressed.

Installation team arrived on time, did a very neat installation including some new ductwork. The areas that they worked on in the house were left as they were found. They made sure that the new outside unit was placed a little further from our deck to allow easier access to a water faucet. Several days later, we had an unrelated problem with the furnace. We had seen signs of it prior to the a/c installation. Again, they were at our house within about 4 hours.
Description of Work: Replacement of central A/C prior to new season. Mike was on time and explained different options as far as refrigerant, Energy efficiency, and makes. He was on only one who asked questions to help determine the capacity of the new unit. This is one of four companies that we contacted. One never returned our initial call. Of the three remaining quotes, Care was about $40 above the lowest and about $500 under the highest. His preofessionalism and equipment line help sell Care to us.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT. THE PROBLEM WITH THE OLD FURNACE WAS DISCOVERED DURING ROUTINE SERVICING AND VERIFIED WITH AN APPROPRIATE TEST. (I AM A PHD ENGINEER AND COMPLETELY AGREED WITH THE NEED TO REPLACE THIS FURNACE). MIKE WIENS, THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY, THEN VISITED TO EXPLAIN THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO ME. BECAUSE I HAD PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FROM CARE AND RECEIVED OUTSTANDING SERVICE, I WAS VERY COMFORTABLE ACCEPTING HIS RECOMMENDATIONS. THE TECHNICIANS WHO ACTUALLY DID THE WORK WERE KNOWLEDGEABLE, SKILLED, CAREFUL, PROMPT AND FRIENDLY. I UNCONDITIONALLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.
