Very disappointed. All I needed was for this guy to start up my a/c -- a 30min job, but all he did was to write up a crazy- overpriced estimate -- 10x what another HVAC contractor charged -- & act as though it was the most difficult, dangerous job in the world. I had purchased a service package through Angie's for Phillips, but not only wouldn't he do the simple system start-up for that price, he wouldn't refund the package I had purchased -- resulting in my paying $99 for a rip-off estimate. While the tech was very nice, I could immediately tell he lacked much HVAC knowledge when he acted completely confused by the zoning system in my house & started asking really dumb questions about it. Then, to cover his lack of knowledge & perhaps set up a sale for even more work, he then started criticizing the system he didn't have the knowledge or experience to understand. (The system has worked perfectly since being started up by another company two years ago -- it took them 15mins) If you want a nice guy who's prompt & wears blue booties, this might be your company, but if you need knowledgeable, reasonable & honest HVAC service, I would steer clear.
Description of Work: Gave me an estimate. (2 years ago-- just writing review now to get rid of the pop up on my screen)

Response from Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning Company
This review contains information that is not factually accurate. We have never been to the address listed here, we did respond to a request for a clean and check at another address for this gentleman. We were paid $55 for the clean and check, not $99. There was no zoning in place on the system we assessed. The system had no refrigerant in it. Our quote for repairs included pressure testing, evacuation and adding refrigerant. This was a quote, not an estimate. We stand by our findings. The technician that performed the service is NATE certified and has been with us for over 20 years. We have never worn "blue booties" in 39 years in business. Yes, we wear shoe covers because we respect the people and homes that we visit. However, they are not blue booties. We understand that after 2 years have passed between the date of service and the date of the review it could be easy to mistake one company for another. Clearly, this is not how our 39 year track record and reputation have been built.

Long story short. The first sign of winter I try my furnace to see if all is good. When it does not turn on I call Phillips. For the last three winters, I call Phillips. Winter 2015 comes around and I call. I get bad news this time. 13,000 worth of bad news including a Carbon leak. My partner says " get a second opinion" So, I get a second opinion. Turns out the Thermo Couple needed to be replaced. Home Depot for $13.00 and the Company that did the Second opinion showed me how to install it. Then I had the local Fire Department come in to do a Air Quality / Carbon Test for FREE and there is no leak! REALLY!!??? I would not recommend Phillips, Try AirServe
Description of Work: I have an old home. Phillips has worked on my furnace before. Responsiveness , Punctuality and Professionalism has always been very good. But this last visit was VERY disapointing.

Response from Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning Company
We have been recommending a new boiler at this address for several years. The boiler is leaking CO into the boiler jacket. This boiler is operating in an unsafe condition. We also suggested new radiator steam vents as the current steam vents are not fully operational which is causing inefficient operation. Our recommendation was to replace the boiler and steam vents, resulting in a safer, more efficient system. Replacing the thermocouple was enough to restore heat in an unsafe manner. We are more than happy to meet any interested party on site, to show our findings.

Our furnace was nearly 60 years old and was dying a slow, agonizing death. When John Phillips, Jr. came to my house to give me my "free" estimate in regards to what I would need in a new furnace and what it would cost, it was very comforting to know I was dealing with a true professional who not only cared about what I wanted and could afford, but was very pleasant throughout the process. After my husband and I talked it over, we decided to hire Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning not only for a new furnace but chose to also have central air installed and we were not disappointed. John explained what would take place and that it would only take a day (and it did) and come spring, the A/C would be completely installed. When the day came to install the furnace, Austin and Kevin were the professionals who arrived on time, kept working the whole time and not only completed the work in one day but did one heck of a job doing that. They even hauled out my old furnace. Kevin and Austin were friendly, courteous and knew what they were doing. They respected your house and the space they were working in by cleaning up and making sure they did not get anything else dirty. It was a pleasure to have them install my furnace. I would recommend Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning to anyone who wanted top-quality professionals to install their heating and/or air needs. This company will be the caretakers of my new furnace throughout its existence and then some.

My experience with Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning (Jim Phillips) was phenomenal. Jim was initially contacted to provide an estimate to extend my current hot water/radiant heating system to a new section of our home, the kitchen. To my dismay, I was informed by Jim (and every other heating professional that visited my home) that not only was my preconceived solution inefficient, but the current house system was inadequately designed. (Which explained why the house would never get above 62 F in the winter despite running the furnace constantly.) As an engineer by profession, I prefer to know the specifics of any job before committing to a decision. Jim was more than willing to sit down with me to discuss the specifics, offer his professional opinion, and to explain his assessment in detail. Estimates from several companies were obtained and ranged up to $20,000 for a job that was initially budgeted at an order of magnitude less. The estimate from Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning was not the lowest nor was it the highest from all the estimates. Based on my interactions with Jim I felt the most confident in the quality of work that would be performed by Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning, unfortunately I was not able to afford the full-service solution. After discussing the specifics of estimate with Jim I proposed a second option which would provide the necessary mechanical solution to correct the heating situation in my home while minimizing the associated labor costs. This option involved working with Jim to provide the specifications on a new, properly designed system and myself to perform the labor for installation. In addition to the consultation on the initial design, Jim also provided continuous support (i.e., late-night phone calls) while I taught myself how and how not to install the system. Jim also offered to loan out his personal tools so that I could complete the project without having to buy specialized tooling. In the end I spent several thousands of dollars on hardware, developed a new appreciation for the plumbing trade, and depleted my vacation hours performing a job that I would have hired Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning to do, had I budgeted correctly. Jim was the only person willing to go out of his way to accommodate my needs. Without his generosity I honestly do not know how I would resolved the situation I found myself in. I would have no hesitation to work with Jim again, although if there is ever a next time I hope to be in better financial shape such that I can afford to utilize all the services Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning has to offer.
Description of Work: Phillips Heating & Air Conditioning provided consultation and oversight of a whole-house hot water radiant heating system overhaul.

Jim Phillips came out and gave me a (free!) second opinion on an expensive job that had been recommended by another company. The scheduling, timing, and service call were all handled very professionally. Most importantly, Jim's expert diagnostic skill saved me a lot of money on a repair / replacement of my furnace that ruined out to be unnecessary. I very much appreciate this expert and professional service call, and will be switching to Phillips for my regular furnace service.

Between the guys in my house and the people back in the office helping me order appropriate heating and cooling units for my house, the team (mostly all last named Phillips) worked all day to install the new units. On the outside, they really did an excellend, clean job creating a whole new slab for my compressor unit. On the inside, they redid all the duct work and piping to the unit and were very respectful of the space, running the pipes near the walls and along the contours of the room rather than just slapping them up through the middle of the room. They have good financing options and helped get me through the sticker shock of suddenly having to replace both units. After installation, they do a complimentary, "Start Up," service to be sure that the units are running as they should. They have been able to work with my busy schedule and will do the courtesy of calling ahead when they are on their way to give me time to leave work so I'm not sitting around the house all day. The air conditioner worked well through the end of the summer and the heater is, thus far, working just fine. I am extremely happy with the service I've received and will recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: I called them when our 22yo air conditioner stopped working and they recommended replacing the unit. I did and in that process they also discovered cracks in the heat exchanger in my 22yo furnace. That needed to be replaced too.

Exceptional. Even though many other homes had similar furnace issues, Phillips was able to get to me and replace the furnace within just a day or two. The technicians were also a pleasure to work with, especially considering they were running on little sleep due to high demand for their services.

They could have responded to my request for a proposal. It means to say that they're not interested in doing it. They don't have the courtesy to do that.

Our furnace stopped working sometime during the night and it was -5 degrees outside and about 40 inside; the water pipes in the kitchen were frozen. I called Phiilips Heating about 5:30 am and the answering service said they would fax over our request for service so it would be there first thing when they came in. I got a call before 8:00 am and someone was here by 8:30. The service person, Ian, said they did not have the part and would have to order it and pick it up and they would be back in the afternoon to put it in. We were afraid it would be more like tomorrow. He was back by 11:30 am with the part and had it installed and working pretty quickly. The furnace heats better than it ever has before. In the past, if it got below 20 degrees outside, the temperature in the house would drop sometimes as low as 62 degrees and we would get out a space heater to stay warm. We are now toasty warm and very happy with the service. I know they were very busy that day and we really appreciate the quick response and the outstanding professional service from Ian and Phillips Heating and Air.
