Workers arrived stating they didn't know where heat vents were to go. Stated they didnt know where air-return was to be placed.Because of the thoroughness and professionalism of salesperson, John Pimeau, I was able to provide the information. During the time the work was being done, one of the installers was seen frequently (more than once or twice) walking in the back yard, smoking, questionably talking on cell phone (I am unsure about this, although the posture suggested phone use). When the work was near completion, I went into the basement, noting the dust from necessary drilling. I offered the use of my Dyson vacuum, already in the basement, so the worker could clean up. They said they would do this. I heard the vacuum running. I signed off on the work without thorough inspection, as I have trust in Tri Cities. There was no evidence of clean up--drilling dust and particles over the rug, furniture throughout. I called Tri Cities and the manager of the installation department came to the house. I regret that I don't know his name. He took pictures of the dirt/dust. He vacuumed and wiped the furniture. Several days later I received a $50 debit card, note pads and pens, an a large tote bag, along with an apology from the CEO! Mistakes happen. Workers aren't always up to par This company shows excellent customer responsibility!! I would recommend them to anyone for their professional work.
Description of Work: Addition of heat/AC to finished half of basement from existing heat pump, installed by Tri Cities in 2011-2012. Work involved cutting through cinderblock to install heat vents and air return, in addition to addition of ducts from existing ducts in unfinished area of basement.

Tri-Cities charged $267.00 to replace a bad igniter on my York furnace. They were here for 33 minutes. The part they put on the furnance is a universal igniter, which cost $26.00. I had had the igniter replaced by Kingsport Heating & Air some years ago for about half that price, with an OME part, so I called them to see how much they would have charged. You guessed it, $137.00. So I called Tri-Cities to see if they would make an adjustment. No, they said. We warranty our work for one year. Well, so does your competitor, Kingsport Heating & Air and they charge half what you do, and use original manufacturers parts, I said. There's nothing we can do, they said. Well, the next time I call somebody out, it won't be Tri-Cities. Too expensive and they use after market parts.

Response from Tri City Air Conditioning Co
Customer, thank you for your comments, they are important to us. I have researched your repair. You were actually charged a $60 diagnostic fee plus $207.00 for the repair. We charge $60 to come to your home and diagnose the problem. We get approval of this fee before we schedule the call. Since we service all brands, we stock our vans with a variety of parts, many of which are universal. We hand pick these parts to ensure they are the highest quality-because we do warranty these parts. We also stock Trane parts because we are a Trane dealer. Most of our customers prefer to have their heat fixed while we are there when possible. However, if requested, we are more than glad to order a factory part. You were quoted $207 before the repair was made and signed the ticket requesting the repair to be made. We warranty this repair, part and labor, for one year. Thank you again for your comments. Please feel free to call anytime that you have concerns.

This was on a Sunday morning on one of the hottest days we had last summer. I called around 7:00 or 7:30 am & left a message. I was contacted I had never used this company before. The service man was at my house at 9:30 and had my heat pump working shortly thereafter. He also gave me the option of purchasing a year service contract for only a few more dollars than the initial service would have been. He stayed until he made sure that my heat pump was cooling.
Description of Work: Replaced capacitor, checked compressor & fan motor.

We have always been happy with them. They have been our go-to heating company for years. All of the technicians are friendly, competent and helpful. They always call ahead of time before they arrive. They also send a reminder for us to make an appointment for the inspections and we are always fit right into the schedule.

Their repairman stated the system was good for another 6 years. 6 months later the system quit. Another Heating and AC company was called and showed me the condensing unit was plugged with dirt and rust and burned out. The new company stated this would have been evident at the time of Tri City's inspection. As a result of Tri City's lousy inspection I had to pay $6,500 for a new system. Had they told me there was a problem, the previous owner would have had to replace the system. Personally I think the previous owner and Tri City were working together. I would never use them again.

Tri-City Air has been in business since 1969 and we are a leader in the industry. We operate our business with professionalism and integrity. Please feel free to give me a call anytime.

The air conditioner wouldn't be stay running. The temperature kept rising and it was too hot to open the windows. The first technician came out and replaced the water pump and changed the thermostat but it didn't correct the problem. The second technician came out, went step by step and discovered the issue with the 220 breaker behind the A/C. The whole thing was rusted andthere was a small piece on the corner had broken off. They replaced it and I wasn't charged for labor for the second trip.

They have always been great. My brother was here during the work and he is very critical. However, he was extremely complimentary of their work. They found that air duct was not insulated which really affected my energy bill. I was so pleased because I would have never known if they did not do the research needed. They also made sure their shoes were clean and left no mess behind. They were courteous and professional.

The heat pump went out last night. We chose Tri City because of its excellent rating on Angie's List. When we called Tri City this morning, they said that they wouldn't be able to come in the morning, but would be able to in the afternoon. We were surprised at how quickly they could respond. This morning we got a call saying that they could actually fit us in earlier. And they called us when the technician left their office. So we knew almost to the minute when the technician would arrive. Jim, the technician, was courteous and professional. He checked to see if the heat pump was still under warranty (unfortunately, it was not), and he explained our choices. He offered us a year's maintenance contract (inspection, cleaning, refrigerant, if necessary, and a discount on parts). I know that there is some debate about the value of these contracts; but since our pump is 5 years old we decided to take it. We did not feel pressure to sign for the contract. The price of the visit reflects not only the service call and the price of the condenser, but also the contract. Jim was here less than an hour. We were very pleased.

They came on three days to finish the job. I found them on Angie’s list and they had a great rating. I have had previous service with this company many times and I knew that their work would be satisfactory and done by people who knew what they were doing. I was having problems with my air conditioner, so a technician came out. He did a diagnostic check, and he found a bad condensing motor and a fan blade and water pouring problems and a whole lot of other things too. On the same day that he came out, he called in a comfort consultant, who came that afternoon. The guy that came was John, and he did a thorough check of the heating and cooling area. He even looked up in the attic at my ventilation. He was concerned with these problems and recommended a replacement since the unit was getting somewhat old. They all recommended that I have a system installed; I had a Trane XL-16I 3-ton completely pumped system along with pollen and mold spore filters. They also did some insulation of the ducts. I knew it would save me a lot of energy in the future. Hence it was designed to cut in. Derek and Jonathan came out on two days and did everything that John had recommended. They came early in the morning and worked until dark. They came back the next day to finish it. The quality of the work was good and I would call them the next time if I needed an air conditioner or heating serviced. Their pricing is a little higher than the ordinary people that will come out but I got what I paid for, and I was glad to pay this amount because I knew they were going to do a good job. I have been working with these people for years. They were nice. I didn’t see anything bad at all. They mostly came out and checked. We had a guy come out that I would recommend, and it couldn’t have been more efficient than it was. They did everything they said they would; they put in everything they said they would.
