We've been dealing with them for years and years. We have an annual contract with them. I pay each month, it's an annual plan, so it's like I pay the same thing each month, like $20 or something. That wouldn't be realistic. They do a periodic 6 month inspection and re calibration. If anything goes wrong, then they charge for that. It depends on which technician comes out so I'd say the average is quite satisfactory. I don't think it is safe to grade the company an overall grade on one visit because you could have something go wrong with it and it might take more time than normal and that could drop their average. You can't go by this for a year. On this one experience, I'd say it's above average. They are prompt, thorough, pleasant and in general, knowledgeable. I have no clue on the price because I have nothing to compare it to. I don't know what other people charge. Some of them don't know as much so overall, I would give them a B on quality.
Description of Work: They come out in the fall to check all the heating equipment and test it and make sure everything is up to snuff and change the filters and all that kind of stuff. In the spring they do the same thing for the air conditioning.

Description of Work: First of all McCown Co installed a complete new HVAC system in my home in May 2010 for approx. $13,000.00. In July of 2013 I called and reported that the system was not working properly. Technician came out to evaluate the situation. It was determined that the A/C coil was defective and needed to be replaced. This cost was an additional $446.00 since only the parts were covered under the warranty. In May 2014 the system was not working properly again so called to report the problem. This is when the spring PM service should have been performed, but was not done until July 2014. So this time I had to pay a service call fee and leak check fee and recharge fee for coolant because the technician who replaced the failed coil, on a 4 year old very expensive system, failed to tighten up all the seals. Looking for a new HVAC service co.

We've been doing business with Mccown Co. Air Conditioning & Heating for many, many years. They've always done a really good job. I have a 24 year old heating unit and they've kept it running good. They're prices are a bit high sometimes. They've gone above and beyond in keeping our machines in good shape and taking the time to do the job right. They do good work.
Description of Work: We have a contract with them, where they come out twice a year to tune-up our systems and make sure everything is running good.

Serviceman came to do regular maintenance check for 3 heat pumps we have. When he discovered that air conditioning in one was not functioning properly, he made repair and adjusted it in addition to the regular maintenance checks and filter replacements for all three units. We have trusted McCown Company for many years to maintain our units. We have been well satisfied and can recommend the company.

I will never ever recommend them. I reported them to the better business bureau. To this day if anybody speaks to me about them I tell them that they have done work in my house. Their work budded up against my plumbing and it ruined my plumbing. It caused a back up and they refused to even come out and look at it. They were like “It couldn’t be us, it couldn’t’ possible be our work, no way it is us”. They were rude, nasty, wouldn’t stand by their work and wouldn’t even come out to discuss it. I told them that I am not a mean person but every chance I got I would be sure to spell their name correctly and tell everybody I know.
Description of Work: I have used the services of MC Cown Co for heating and A/C.

They do a good work. They are conscientious. I didn't get any other quote. It was more than I was expecting, and I think I was ignorant.

We have a maintenance contract with them, and they maintain our three units. They come out twice a year. There is no charge except for an amount that we pay once every year. This is a part of the contract. Their service is excellent. They are fairly priced too. They come out when they say they would and they do what they're supposed to do. They keep our units running well. They are great. We have no problem.
Description of Work: We use McCown Co. for heating and air-conditioning service. We last used them for a maintenance check. We have been using them for 20 years.

They arrived when they said they would be here. They were professional and finished in the timeframe we were given. When we purchased a heat pump, they analyzed ductwork, current needs, and made recommendations and provided purchase options. We were able to make the final decision based on the options provided.
Description of Work: We have used McCown for 34 years, first to install our original heat pump, then to service it bi-annually, then to install a second heat pump and service it bi-annually, and to install a third heat pump a little over a year ago. Their service has been dependably faithful, professional, and trustworthy. They have also been quick to respond when an emergency repair has to be made. We are loyal McCown customers. The price quoted above is for a year service contract, which includes cleaning and calibrating twice during the year.

McCown got the money and did nothing.
Description of Work: I paid for a service contract on my heating and Air Unit. The deal was any service needed would be included and parts were extra. The air went out and the service tech. came out. When he left, nothing was done. I had to rehire another contractor to come out and clean the coils and pump it up, then it worked great. I paid for a service and they took the money and did nothing, but leave us in the HEAT! McCown would not refund the service contract money, even though I should them a statement from the other contractor. Now they want me to renew the contract.

We have been extremely satisfied with McCown. (My sister in Easley had heating failure on her furnace when she went in the hospital 02/11/2011, and I got McCown out there for her. It was a thermostat failure which they replaced for $103. The man was about an hour later than estimated but then it was around 8PM when the problem occurred.) Again the tech was competent, wore covers on his shoes whenever he entered the house, was friendly and professional, and checked the whole unit out before leaving to ensure he diagnosed the problem correctly.
Description of Work: We have used McCown for over 15 years for HVAC services. Our original HVAC man retired and we used McCown on recommendation of a friend for repairs. Although our sytem had been installed in 1976 by someone other than them, they treated us as if the system had been installed by them...courteous and professional. Hence, when our HVAC system died in 2005, we got several estimates but liked McCown the best. They installed a new heat pump system including the outside unit and everything under the house except the ducts (which were in great shape). They also checked the house for the right size unit as the old one had always had trouble when temps were either real hot or real cold. McCown put in a unit that was rated one ton more than the old one and with a very high SEER rating for a great price.Our electric bill was cut by 2/3! When the original full warranty ran out, we took out their service contract which is not very cheap but it ensures us great emergency service with thorough 6 month checkups included. When a leaking valve not under warranty failed several years ago, they replaced it for free. When the unit stopped on a cold winter night, they were there ASAP to get it running, again for free. In fact, Mr. McCown himself called us to check on the outcome that weekend.

He never came back either. I called the company and I was told the service person was no longer working for the company. With such a turnover I wondered what was wrong. When the service person was here I asked him to check the outside unit as I kept hearing a noise. The company sent me a bill for a cleaning of the unit. They said the service man cleaned the unit when he was here, I called the Company and told them what the problem had been and they were going to send another service person. I told them they were no longer welcomed at my house. Then I received a check and was informed my Unit was a 12 seer, not what I believed I had ordered. Also not the air cleaning unit either. Their excuse was that the location for the unit was not big enough for the 14 seer. If I had been asked I could have found another place for the inside part of the unit. I was not asked. I called and asked for the salesman that sold me the unit and he is no longer with the company.
Description of Work: I bought a Unit "Air Conditioning w/Heat" from McCowen Company. I ordered a unit that was supposed to be 14 seer with air cleaner. I bought the unit in 2004. They were to change the filter every six months. The first person came three months after the Unit had been installed. He changed the filter and I paid for the filter. Before he left he said that the company will change the filter every three months instead of every six months. About five months later another service person came to change the filter. The Company did not give him the correct filter so he made one and was to return the next day. He never came back. I called the company and asked for the same service person two months later. I was told he no longer worked for the company. Another service person came with the wrong filter. Replaced the filter with a green square one and said he would return next day with the correct filter. He never came back either.

It took a while to get the job scheduled although the estimator came promptly after my call. The technicians came on time and performed the job in a timely manner. They wore booties over their shoes, but left a little cleaning up for me to do after they left. The newly installed register fit well and the job looked good.
Description of Work: We had a new register added to our central heat and A/C system.
