Response from Carolina Cool LLC
The last time we did any work for this customer was in August of 2011. Why, after this amount of time, is he making this report? AND, the last call we did, we didn’t even charge for. He has two Lennox systems that we did not install, but were trying to help him out with. They had a plethora of issues, many of which we fixed under the manufacturer’s warranty. The last call, one of our very qualified technicians wrote: “Checked each zone for proper open/close & operation of bypass damper. Unit is variable speed w/ barometric damper. This is an issue because damper & motor will conflict. Harmony III control working but doesn’t have full control of a/h & motor. Need to replace zone control board & bypass damper with Two Stage zone control board.” The repair we recommended wasn’t required, but would sure have helped his system run better. I’m not sure how we could have been more helpful with this customer and his equipment.

It was reasonable. The quote was $4,000. They were good. They came out promptly and gave me a fair estimate. I just went with another company because they were a little less expensive and they were recommended to me. They were a decent company. Their price was fair.

Night response as we were returning from vacation and found A/C had failed in our absence. Once serviceman ascertained need and that the part was not available (Wed. night) he went to firms warehouse and returned with two portable units and installed such in our bedrooms so we would at least have that comfort level for the night. After weeks away we surely did not wish to spent another day or 2 in a motel. Portables kept conditions acceptable thru Thursday and until Friday afternoons major repairs in a fiercely hot attic in above 90 degree temp's.
Description of Work: Rushed pickup of a major critical part no longer carried by firm and deployed a commercial serviceman, residential service dept. under severe demand, to do our residence on Friday to meet our need for A/C.

I thought it went really well because of the fact it would take 4-5 days to get the part in, however it arrived over the weekend and we weren't without AC for too long.
Description of Work: David Wahl was the technician. On the first visit, they defrosted the unit and diagnosed to find out I needed a new coil. They called with an estimate and the price sounded very reasonable instead of getting a new unit.

Tech was very professional and did an excellent job of explaining the issues with our existing system, his final recommendation was to replace the system. After receiving a second similar recommendation we decided to purchase a new system. I called the office and requested someone contact me to quote on a new system. No response. I followed up with another call but again no response. We wound up purchasing a system from another vendor.

Dave was fantastic! As a real estate agent, I have been around a lot of HVAC techs and he was very professional and very thorough. He didn't push any extra services and was straight up with me about what needed to be done to resolve my issue. Linda ( who took my initial call) was great and had someone scheduled the same day to come out since we had no air and we were on a limited time schedule. The next day I had one more question and called/emailed Linda with my question and she had the installation manager call me back shortly there after to inform me how to fix my small issue that wasn't occurring when Dave was there. Great company and good customer service.

Poorly. I fired Carolina Cool.
Description of Work: The technician from Carolina was friendly and courteous. He performed the maintenance service as was expected. He told me the heating grids in my unit were burned out. Then another salesman form the company came to my house. Instead of telling me the cost of repair, he was trying to sell me a new for $3000. Needless to say, I no longer use them and moved on to another company. The technician from that company said there was nothing wrong with my unit. I told him about Carolina Cool. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" he stated.

Response from Carolina Cool LLC
I can understand this customer’s frustration. But it is also frustrating on our part when we don’t get a chance to make things right with a customer. As a service company, we prefer that a system be kept running as long as possible. The last work we did for this customer was over a year ago, and that was to do a tune up. We did four tune ups over two years, which is our basic schedule. No other work was performed or repairs made. The last two tune ups we did, the technicians made note that the strip heat was not working. Both techs, who are long time employees and still with me, gave the same opinion. If we failed to provide a quote for the repair of the strip heat, then for that, I apologize. But after reviewing the paperwork, it is noted, by both technicians, that the customer declined to have a quote on the strip heat. It is also noted by the tech on paperwork that the customer signed, that they requested a quote on a new system. All this is written on paperwork of which we have retained. We are a company that provides 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. Had the customer called us with ANY dissatisfaction, we would have been sure to make it right. We are also an options based company, and per our local utility, if a system is ten years old and inefficient, techs are trained to at least mention that option. This customer chose to not have a quote on the strip heat, and to have a quote on a new system. I am not sure how we could have provided better service, better responsiveness, or better professionalism, but everyone has a right to voice their opinion. My opinion is that after an entire year, this past customer decided to be vindictive for some reason. Thank you for your consideration. Verlon Wulf President Carolina Cool, Inc.

The price was competitive, but they were too quick to replace with a new unit instead of trying to fix the one that I had. The responsiveness and punctuality was good. They came when they said they would, and they would come on time. Their professional behavior was good.
Description of Work: I got a quote from Carolina Cool Inc. They came down and did a diagnostic, and gave me a quote. He was going to replace an entire air conditioning unit for me.

Carolina Cool were very reasonable. They were extremely nice and they did very good work. They were prompt. I took the contract that came back to trace, two times, for follow-ups and they were very good. I would use them and I don't have any qualms recommending them to anybody. They came when they were supposed to when they said they were, they called prior to, put on booties when they came in to the house, they were very neat and very clean. They were excellent, I could say that all the way. They had their own equipment and they were very careful. I'm still using them.
Description of Work: I had a leak with the fuel pump.

In the course of my business with Carolina Cool I spoke with three different individuals. Sadie answered the phone when I called and was very courteous and helpful. She answered my questions with no hesitation and we set up the original diagnostic visit. Carol called on the day of the scheduled appointment to ask if it was ok for the technician to come a little early. Needless to say I was very pleased. Mike arrived and was very courteous and professional throughout my interactions with him. He did the initial diagnostics and determined what the problem was and what steps were necessary to repair my unit. I had a coupon from Angie's List for $52.00 which was a $13.00 discount from the standard $65.00 service call fee. Mike double checked and determined that the part was still under warranty so that saved me the cost of a part, thank you Mike. The part had to be ordered so I waited for a week for the part to come and they called me when the part came in and Mike came out a couple of days later to do the repair. Four hours later the job was done. When Mike left the only way you could tell he'd been here was the fact that my unit was functioning like it should. Mike had nothing but good to say about his employer and even gave me a couple of examples of the kinds of things the employer does to take care of his employees. Wish I could of found a boss like that when I was still working. :) The only negative, if you want to call it that, was the labor charges. At almost $125.00 an hour it seemed a little steep, but the quality of work, and the professionalism helped ease the pain in the pocketbook. The $534.00 cost by the way, was for the total amount, both the initial service call and the labor charges on the day the job was done.

If not called before then they will return in 6 months for another inspection when they will repeat what they did this time plus flush out the water heater. This company may be a little more expensive than others but they are reliable, punctual, neat, and do great work which they will back up. They will also tell you how to save money by purchasing the parts yourself. The peace of mind I have when dealing with them is well worth their price.
Description of Work: In August 2013, we had them here to fix a leaky kitchen faucet. Rob arrived promptly in the afternoon of the same day of my call. He ended up having to replace the faucet but because of shoddy turn-off valves installed by the builders he could not get the water to turn off and had to replace them also. The poor guy did not leave here until about 11pm but would not leave us overnight without water. My husband even got us all supper from McDonalds! Then Rob came back the next day to recheck and tighten any loose fittings. At that time we signed up for their plumbing maintenance service which is $120.00 a year. On 1/15/14 they returned to check all of our plumbing. Steven replaced all of the flappers in our toilets, replaced the batteries in our smoke alarms, and gave us a list of recommendations. His biggest concern was our water heater which was badly rusted and could go at any time (which would cause a huge mess; I know from experience). We decided to replace it and he was here the next morning and completed the job in a few hours. And he was absolutely right; our old water heater was in bad shape.

If we have any more issues we will definitely call them again. Very professional and courteous. The price was very reasonable also.
Description of Work: Our HVAC was blowing cold air and the AUX heat would run constantly. Problem was that it wasn't even cold outside. We called Carolina Cool because of their rating on Angie's List. They send someone out that same day. The problem was resolved and as of today (approx. 3 months later) we have had no problems.
