Work not done. See reason above.
Description of Work: I called to make an appt. to have someone come out to my house to diagnose a problem with my existing ductwork. The receptionist said "Is this for a repair or a replacement"? I said " I don't know, that's why I need someone to come out and diagnose the problem". She said there would be a $69 service charge to come out and give me their opinion about what needs to be done! This is THE ONLY company in South Carolina that charges to come out and give an estimate!! THIS IS BULLCRAP!! Obviously this company is more concerned with making a quick buck, then getting a reputation for GOOD customer service. I will be telling all my friends, neighbors, and professional coworkers NOT to do business with this company!!

Response from Berkeley Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.
At Berkeley Heating and Air, we strive to provide our clients with consistent, high quality service, which is why we are saddened to see this review. You called about a problem with your ductwork. Ductwork is not confined to a small area. In order to accurately diagnose the problem, our technician will have to look at every duct run. This means that he will either need to go under the house or work or in the attic. The technician will then need to visually follow the duct (in the rafters or by crawling under a house) and see if there are any leaks, disconnected ducts etc. issues - for every run in the house. You were informed of the fee based on the nature of the work involved. Clients are never made to feel obligated to accept any fees or estimates. We have built a foundation of excellence in service which has allowed us to remain in business for almost 60 years. We value our community and the families and business' we serve. Our goal is to continue those relationships for years to come, and we have always operated by providing fair and honest pricing. I invite you to please call me, Dawn Oliveto, Operations Manager at 843-747-6700, if you would like to discuss the matter further.

I paid the agreed upon $69 service call for a diagnosis. They make that clear up front. Courtesy should have been used and maybe they would have replaced my unit. I went with another company and was cool the next day! Pitiful!
Description of Work: Called at 7:45 am and was told they would be out before noon. Stayed home from work because husband had doctor appointment at 11:00 am. At 12:30 I called and was told I was "next". At 3:30, I called and dispatcher actually called the technician. He said another 30 min to an hour. Showed up at 4 pm. After 10 minutes said the compressor was shot and unit needed replacement. Said he would have the sales department call the next day. (They did not) I wouldn't have minded being told that it would be afternoon when I first called as I would not have been sitting in a hot house all day when I could have been at work or doing something else.

Very fast service, they were willing to work with me for a specific service call time, which was good since it's difficult to leave work and just wait for 5 hours. Courteous, knowledgeable technician showed up when promised, charged R22. A side note: When you pay by card, the tech calls in to a 3rd party processing center and reads off the numbers, then writes your info on to a transaction record. I had a pending transaction for the amount above show in my account for several days, and then it disappeared. Technically I still haven't paid for the service... I suppose that would be a good thing if I thought they had just decided not to charge me, but I'm expecting a call within the next couple days. I would recommend just writing a check.
Description of Work: Requested company come out and charge system refrigerant.

My call was answered by a courteous, helpful dispatcher. A technician was scheduled for a same-day visit and all fees were described in detail. The technician investigated quickly and methodically. He explained the problem in detail and answered all my questions. He informed me that the work I needed done could be done by the company that did the initial installation under warranty without charge. He informed me of my rights in this area. I'm completely satisfied with this company's service.

It was easy to use this company. They gave me the lowest estimate after a system evaluation. It took 2 days to do the work. They made our kids a playhouse out of one of the boxes. They did break a light fixture, but went out a got a new one and replaced it. They go above and beyond what you might expect.
Description of Work: I had this company replace our furnace and air conditioner.

The price is per year for the maintenance. They are excellent. They have 24-hour service. Our air compressor went out in our conditioner, and they even brought in window units since they are unable to fix it that day. We have not had any problems with them. We will continue to use them and would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: We have used them for about 14-15 years. We have a contract with them to come regularly for maintenance on our units.

They did a calculation to figure out what type of system I needed for my home that would fit my needs best. They installed this system and I am very happy with it. I am even saving some money each month because this new system is more efficient. The price was competitive. Bill Rudd was very nice and professional. I would use them again in the future and have already recommended them to others.
Description of Work: They installed a new heating and air conditioning system for me. They also did some duct work and put in a new vent.

I got three different companies to quote on the job. Each company s representative took time to explain things to me but only Mr. Rudd of Berkeley took the time to go under the house into the crawl space to inspect the ductwork. Before entering the house, Mr. Rudd put on booties to prevent carrying in any dirt. Of the 3 representatives, Mr. Rudd spent the most time ensuring that I understood anything that I had questions about. On an "apples to apples" cost comparison, Berkeley were in the middle (i.e. one quote was higher, one quote was lower). I telephoned Mr. Rudd and told him about the quotes, not really expecting that he would be able to lower his quote to match the lowest bid. Somehow he found a way to do it. This was on a Thursday. The next day Mr. Rudd phoned me to say that they would have people available to replace the broken unit (including its foundation pad) on Monday. Alvin and James arrived on time early Monday morning and were very cordial and polite. They also answered any questions that I had. They finished the job at about 3:00 pm and then took the time to set the programmable thermostat and to explain how to operate it. Shortly after they left, Mr. Rudd phoned me again to say they had scheduled Alvin and James to replace the second unit on the following day. Alvin and James again arrived on time and completed the work by about 2:00 pm. It is now about 3 weeks since the job was done and everything is operating very well. Mr. Rudd is planning to re-visit me next week as a final follow up.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 heating/air conditioning units, one of which had recently stopped working, the other of which was making an unusually loud noise when it ran. Both units were 15 years old and this was their original life expectancy.
