Got a call the day of the appointment letting us know the tech will come in today. Got a call letting us know when the tech was en-route. Upon arriving the tech did his work, explained the issues, what needed to be done and what else he suggested. All went well and we are very happy with the work done.

We learned that our air conditioner was completely fried, and we were counseled well about the necessity of buying a new one instead of repairing the old one, due to new laws concerning the refrigerant's make-up. I was very pleased with how knowledgeable and honest the technician was. He could have done the repairs for $2000+, but if we needed work in the future, nobody would be able to fix it, so we're very happy that we hired someone who is going to give us all the facts up-front. All we ended up paying was the diagnostic fee, which was very reasonable, considering the service we received.
Description of Work: Our air conditioner stopped working, so we called for it to be fixed.

We used a company that had served the previous owners because we had a credit with them, so that’s why we did that. They had put in a new air conditioner for us as well. I do not remember the price. They called before they came. They were timely in their response. They did what they said they would do. They did a good job. Very responsive. They called us before they were going to come and said, "We will be there in 15 minutes," and they were. They did exactly what they said they would do in a timely manner. They are very busy, so you do have to schedule. But once you got it scheduled, they are very responsive.
Description of Work: The last time was to just to do a check for us.

We don't use them for anything else, because we haven't replaced our furnaces since we bought the house, and that was in 1992. They are local, and they show up when they say that they are going to show up. The price was fine. It was not shocking. They showed up, so they were responsive.
Description of Work: They do periodic maintenance of our furnace. They come in and check them for carbon monoxide discharge. They change the filters, and do stuff like that. Clean the burners. They change the filters on the humidifier. I have, allergies, so I have special filters on it. Its complete services.

I had them when I first moved in and I just kept them to do my yearly maintenance. They're professional, they take care of my house, they care about how they come into my house, they clean up behind themselves, they explain things in terms which I understand, and they take care of any concerns that I have. That's why I've always kept them to come every year, to make sure everything is running okay. They're always very punctual.
Description of Work: They did a big job for me and then I have them come twice a year and do my air conditioning and my furnace yearly maintenance. When I first moved in the house There was another place that installed the unit but they didn't do it right. They were re-grading my property and I needed to move it from one place to another, and that's what they did. They moved it to the back part of the house instead of the side, so that's what they did. They also had to move the lines inside. They had to correct some things that were installed by the prior people. They had to move some lines down in the basement also.

JA Sauer is a very professional business. Everyone is super friendly and efficient in helping to get appointments schedule. The Techs were on time and very professional and super clean in the process. I have never had a bad experience w/this business through the years. Everyone is great to work with from the telephone customer service office staff to the management to the technicians.
Description of Work: Bought an Angie's List special offer for JA Sauer. They had installed a new boiler system on my house approx. 10 yrs ago and the family who owned the house prior to me used them to install a central ac system in an old house that did not have one before. Appreciated the Routine Maintenance Special Offer that I was able to purchase for the annual inspection of both the AC unit and the Furnace/Boiler unit as I held off for several years due to costs and my limited budget. Did the AC inspection in July or August of 2016. Did the Furnace/Boiler inspection in Jan 2017. I hope it gets offered again.

Work went smoothly. AC unit was up and running for the summer. I did discover, however, that I needed to be proactive for the furnace tune-up. I was under the impression it would be done before the heating season but when I called in November, I was told the scheduling would be done in January. That seemed a little late. They did, however, call in January and the inspection on the furnace was scheduled and completed satisfactorily.
Description of Work: Central air conditioner was having problems. The condenser would turn on but not the cooling fan. I arranged for the service call through Angie's List. Scheduling was prompt and the service technician arrived at the scheduled time. Discovered that a varmint of some type had made a winter nest in the tower of the AC and chewed through a wire to the fan unit. After discussion, I decided to purchase a service package that would also cover inspection of the furnace unit for the heating season as well as a cleaning and repair of the AC unit.

Hi [Member Name Removed], Thanks for the kind words and the "A" score. As a follow up to your comment regarding the timing of the heating tune up. We do the tune ups all year long. there is no need or requirement to get a furnace or Air Conditioner done before the season. You just need to get it done yearly. We always attempt to book people one year from their last tune up. So if your furnace was done in January of 2016 we would aim to do it again in January of 2017, 2018 etc. if it fit your schedule better we could always change the month. a good practice is for the homeowner to "test" their unit early in every season so that they know it is working rather than wait until the last minute. Right now, Mid April is a great time to turn on your AC on a warm day. Because we have very little humidity you don't need the AC in most cases, but if you turn it on, you can determine that it is operating.

They charge a yearly fee. I am on a contract with them. I think the yearly fee is a little bit high. The service is very good, excellent. In the back of my mind I am thinking I should look for someone else less expensive. In the meantime I will continue to use them. They are very neat and don't mess anything up.

They are very good and efficient. They come every year. It is all set up. They give you like a service fee and they come and do the heating and air once a year.
Description of Work: For heating and air conditioning, we deal with Sauer. They went over the air conditioning the last time they came out. They come on the fall for the furnace and when the warmer weather starts for the air conditioning.

A technician from another company had diagnosed a cracked drain pan and advised replacing the whole system. I called J.A.Sauer for a second opinion before I spent all that money. Sauer's tech poured a lot of water into the drain pan which did not leak to the floor, making me wonder why the other tech did not try this simple diagnostic. And then Sauer's tech found the leak to be coming from the pump, which the other tech dismissed with a cursory check. I appreciated that Sauer's tech went so far to disprove the previous diagnosis despite his obvious disbelief that that could be the problem. He fixed the pump and took time to verify it was no longer leaking.

We agreed to use the provider only after speaking directly with them on Friday, when we were told they would come on either Friday or most likely on Saturday. We sat at home all day Saturday in 90 degree weather with two small children and an A/C that was not working and the provider did not show up or ever call us. After leaving a message with their answering service, I finally received a call back after 4 PM in the afternoon. But it was too late to do anything. I understand it was a busy day and they didn't get to us, but somebody should have contacted us to tell us there was a possibility they would not get there and to allow us to reschedule or find an alternative. The only positive was that they at least apologized on Monday, and we were able to get a refund of the service purchased through Angie's List, but that pretty much did nothing as far as getting our A/C fixed or sitting in our 90 degree house for a whole day waiting for them to show up.
