Showed up at the scheduled time. Did a great job cleaning the furnace and vents.
Description of Work: They came out to check out the heating system (recently purchased my home). The unit is VERY old and was VERY dirty. They cleaned the furnace, cleaned out 2 vents (where construction had occurred). They checked the furnace and set it up for the winter. Despite having a very old system they did not try to sell me a new system.

Not thrilled with this company. They said they'd send someone between 9 and 12. I was having a friend come over to let the technician in because I had to work. I get a call at 8:40 from Peters asking where I am because the technician is there early. I told them they said he would show up at 9:00 at the earliest and they seemed annoyed with me, which was frustrating. My friend showed up at 9:00 as scheduled. My friend says the technician was nice and explained a lot of stuff to him about what was wrong with my heating unit, so that's good. BUT, I had scheduled a cleaning and for the unit to be fixed, and when I got home the unit was neither fixed nor cleaned. On top of that, there was a bill for $210 that my friend paid with a check I had left him. $210 for an estimate? A note said that someone would call me with the estimate, but no one did. After 2 days I called them and now they tell me they can't even give me an exact estimate because they charge per hour. WHAT?
Description of Work: I was supposed to have my heating unit fixed and cleaned out, but the work wasn't performed. They say they aren't able to give me an exact estimate because they charge per hour. It seems they've charged me $210 just to get an "estimate."

Response from Peters Associates
THIS SYSTEM WAS IN VERY POOR SHAPE AND JUST A QUICK CLEAN WAS NOT THE FIX. NORMALLY WE QUOTE CUSTOMERS WHAT A REPAIR WILL BE THIS SITUATION REQUIRED WHICH WAS A BROKEN T-STAT WIRE. WE WERE NOT PREPARED TO DO ALL THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE SINCE THE UNIT HAD NOT BEEN SERVICED IN A LONG TIME. WHICH IS WHY THIS CLIENT WAS GIVEN A NOT TO EXCEED PRICE AS IT WAS UNKNOWN WHAT ALL WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WE WENT. WE AS A COMPANY ARE DISAPPOINTED ANYTIME A CUSTOMER IS NOT HAPPY WITH OUR SERVICE, BUT THIS WAS A BILLABLE CALL. I WOULD FURTHER EXPLAIN IF THE CUSTOMER WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT OUR OFFICE. THANK YOU KATHY JOYCE

It was easy to get an appointment. They showed up exactly on time. They spent enough time on the roof that I know they did a complete cleaning job. They did not make any mess around the house. I forgot what I paid but I do not remember it being high.

After the initial work, I called Peters for another estimate, this one to fix a dead radiator. They did not return my call so I initially gave them a negative rating on the list. Their representative called to apologize and they sent an estimator out the next day. Apparently their normal receptionist was out sick the day I called and the request got lost. The estimator was very polite, thorough and professional. Ironically, in the mean time the problem with the dead radiator self corrected, probably because the new recirculation pump finally caused the blockage to break through. I have corrected the original rating with an A overall rating although I believe they are a bit pricey, I would use them again if I needed to.
Description of Work: Their plumber diagnosed a problem with my furnace, a bad recirculation pump and replaced it. He also added shutoff valves to the system.

The technician arrived a few minutes early, and was very friendly. I chose Peters because the previous owner had used them regularly to service the furnace and A/C. I had not had anything done since I moved in (1.5 years), and wanted to get everything cleaned and checked before the winter. The service was great. He showed me exactly what he had done, how my system was working, and what I needed to do to maintain it. In addition, he fixed a couple of small problems for a little less than I expected.

Everything was perfect. The service man was extremely friendly. He called me 15 minutes before they came at the exact time we agreed upon. He did a very complete job cleaning and adjusting the furnace, fixed the duct where the filter would not fit in, repaired the water leak, and put in a new filter.
Description of Work: We just purchased a house and found out that the furnace was very dirty, did not have a filter in, and was leaking water. We called Peters Associates and they set up a immediate service call and came out. They were excellent, on time, and very courteous. They stayed about two hours and completely serviced the system. We purchased a service contract for the $198, and it covered the entire service. It includes two annual checkups (summer and winter).

Peters Associates are great. They appear to have a lot of business, and I expect it's because their work and their support are as solid as their preliminary estimates. We called to get our furnace serviced, and the technician who visited our house found several problems with our 25-year-old system. He spent over an hour diagnosing problems but couldn't service the equipment, since it was basically unsafe and due for replacement. Peters has given us credit for the visit, so that we didn't pay for service work that wasn't done. They followed up with several estimates, spending considerable time on the phone with me for each and always providing clear, professional information and advice. I am happy to join the chorus of praise for this company, even though we have chosen a different contractor to do the work. We will continue our service contract with Peters. A bit pricey in the estimate, but I've found that high price in this matter corresponds to quality business.
Description of Work: Several estimates for various different configurations of a new furnace and AC system.

From start to finish, I was extremely pleased with the service. The initial visit went very well. All of my questions were answered. I did not want to wait for the proposal to be mailed to me. The gentleman came to my home with the proposal to be signed and picked up my deposit check. The men who installed the furnace were very helpful in answering all of my questions. They placed drop cloths down to protect my carpeting. They made sure I knew how to set the programmable thermostat. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you for the referring this company to me.
Description of Work: Installed a gas furnace. Removed old heater.

Called Peters and associated on a Tuesday to have someone come out and look at my AC which stopped working. I explained to them that I had to work but and I could meet them on my lunch break at 1pm but they had to be on time We agreed for the following day. Amy, I think her name was, was real nice. I received a call about 20 minutes before 1pm, stating Frank, the service guy was on his way. He didn't arrive till 1:15. Before he arrived I called to find out where he was and while I was on the phone he showed up. He apologized for being late explaining that he ended on a dead end street. He was real polite. He checked condenser and initially as soon as he touched it it turned on. He said he didn't want to get to involved as the time and labor would cost money. Then the condenser shut off and wouldn turn on again. He checked everything then figure that it was the thermostat. He changed wire and changed filter. He was informative and polite. I would use this company again.
Description of Work: Checked condenser outside, checked system in basement and checked thermostat. Replaced bad wire in thermostat.

A representative was happy to explain everything he was doing to me. It's mostly a cleaning job that one could probably do themselves, but it's worthwhile to have a professional look at it. They offer various service plans at relatively reasonable prices. I'm expecting them back in the spring to clean and examine my AC unit.

Peters Associates Ltd's experience was very pleasant. I called on Monday with my inquiry and Jennifer, the gal who answered the phone, was more than friendly and accommodating. I was able to make an appointment for the following afternoon. The labor rate was stated on the phone, so I had some idea of the price involved in the service. After a phone call letting me know the technician would be arriving in a half of an hour, Tom (the technician) promptly arrived. His work was very thorough, neat, and his demeanor was great, both professional and friendly. FYI, as of 7/2006, the labor rate was $99 for the first hour and $22.50 for every hour thereafter.
Description of Work: The HVAC system was serviced, cleaned, checked, the condensation pipe was reconfigured, and the drainage vent was replaced.

I have had a yearly service with Peters for a couple of years and have always been pleased with their quality of service. The technician that installed the humidifier was prompt, courteous and cleaned up after the installation. They also created a new vent opening to insert our air filter, which was previously in a very difficult spot to get to. They did this service for free.
Description of Work: We had a full-house humidifier (Lennox by-pass) added to our heating unit.
