I have used this company that was already being used from our respected builder. They have a good reputation in this area and offer discounts on labor if you have a service contract. HOWEVER AS AN UPDATE AFTER 6 YEARS--I find that every time a service technician performs any work they ALWAYS try to sellme something. I have learned from an employee that ARS techs are paid a commission of sales. That leads me to believe I am purchasing items I don't really need. I have lost trust in them.
Description of Work: They come twice a year to clean our HVAC units. We have a heat pump.

It is now 9:45 and they are still not here. I called them and they said the guy was at another job, and that he would be here between 10 and 12. They told me thats when they had my appointment scheduled, however that is not true because I'm never awake at 8 am, I just took the appointment they offered. I told them they lost my business.

They showed up on time, made sure to cover and protect carpet and floors. Work took a few hours. Explained how to use the new thermostat and program it. They also checked out our downstairs unit at no extra charge. They were very professional and punctual. We were pleased with this co. and will be using them to service our systems in the future. The best part was how much money we saved.
Description of Work: Needed to replace heat/ac unit for upstairs. Old unit was 17 years old. Called three different co.'s all from Angie's List. All three came out and gave estimate on the same unit. ARS-Charlotte had by far the best price. Co. rep James Sellitti came out looked at the old system, asked questions about how the old unit had worked (problems, complaints) and priced same unit the other two had. Explained everything about unit along with brochures. Also priced other units. He measured house, counted windows, including those facing south and north side (the others did not do this). We were quoted on a 2.5 ton unit. They were able to install very quickly within a couple days. Turned out we would need a 3 ton unit which was a little more, but Co. agreed to the amount they had already given us.

Repairman arrived within scheduled time frame and found the problem in about 15 minutes, however he did not have the replacement part with him so he called another repairman and took the part from his truck. It took about five minutes to replace the part. The service charge was O.K.($80.00) but the part was marked up almost 300 per cent as compared to prices of the same part that I researched on line. I called the company to complain about this, but got answering machine. I left a message but they didn't return my call.

They were very professional. They were very clean and did not leave a mess. They were prompt and reasonably priced. They were knowledgeable about the product and were able to inform me about it. They are they only ones that gave a written quote in a folder with brochures and pamphlets, others I received just scribbled on a piece of paper.

My husband and I purchased a 1-year plan which covered inspection of the system in the Spring and Fall. Included in that package was a discount in case we had problems with the system throughout the year (we had none). Our home is fairly new (less than 4 years) so we aren't anticipating any heating & A/C problems but this company seems to be one of the best in the area and are very courteous and prompt AND they follow up with an opinion call about their service.
Description of Work: In the Spring they came out after I made an appointment. The technician was early (about 15 minutes), courteous and put some plastic "slippers" over his shoes so as not to track any dirt in on our carpet. The same happened a few weeks ago (it's now Fall). He checked all connections, hoses, etc. and assured me that everything was good to go for the season.

The technician arrived on time (within 2 hour window stated by dispatcher). They melted the ice on the unit, cleaned up the extra water that accumulated. Then the technician determined there was a wire to the compressor that had melted due to the heat and non-stop running. He reconnected it. He then attempted to restart the system, but declared that the compressor was "locked/seized" and not functional - he determined this by checking pressure before and after the compressor which was identical (indicating the compressor was not operating). He informed me I had 2 options: replace the compressor (about $2,000 w/freon) - or a entire system replacement which would run $4,300. I thanked him and paid the $85 repair fee. I then called a DIFFERENT company for a second opinion. They found a wire to the capacitor/condenser and compressor disconnected. Once reconnected, system was running fine - and had enough freon in it too. ARS oversight or intentional - who knows... will not use ARS again.
Description of Work: The A/C on my house was not working - a HeatPump system - everything was coated with ice and system was running non-stop. The same ARS company had recharged the system 6 weeks prior to this incident for approximately $135. I will not be using them in the future.

They make sure to answer all of my questions and even come back and do repairs at no charge. It is hard to find a company that is as established and dedicated as this one. I am proud to be a customer.

We had no problems using these guys to do the work for us. After shopping around a little, we found them to be one of the best when it came to price. These guys were pretty much unbeatable in that category. We were very impressed with how fast they had the job done for us and with much expertise. These guys really seemed to know exactly what they were doing.

I have used these guys before and I have never had any problems with their services. Their prices are very competitive. They were quick to get someone out here to get the job done for me. There have been no problems with the system at all. I know that If I would have any problems at all they would send someone right out. They made it as pleasurable of an experience as possible.

ARS was very professional and easy to work with. Always was able to speak directly with a person no matter what time I contacted them. I have called ARS in the past for emergency service and they were at my house within an hour of my call. I would definitely recommend ARS to anyone in need of service or a new Heat & A/C system. The quality of the work and the responsiveness of their team was excellent.
Description of Work: Our Heating and A/C system was old and needed to be replaced. ARS removed the old system and installed a new Trane Heating & A/C system. Randy Race, from ARS came out and met with me to check out the set up of the old system and provide an estimate for the new system. ARS was able to order the new system and install it within three days of my contacting them about the job. They came out on Saturday morning and they were finished with the entire job within four 1/2 hours. The system works great and we are saving money on our electric bill now too as a result of the improved efficiency of the new system!
