It went very good. Mr. Logan Hebert was mannered in the most professional way. He worked with a sense of urgency, but at the same time was precise about the work performed. I would definitely recommend him for anyone that asks, hands down!! Thank you for your services. My conditioning is better than ever before

The work and the salesman were great but some issues with the install crew. They left numerous screws in the drain pan. Scuffed up the wall pretty good upstairs. When they were connecting the drain line to a plumbing vent they pushed it up through the roof which cause the flashing and shingles to raise up. After they left I went upstairs and noticed my vaccum cleaner’s cord was unraveled. While rolling up the cord I noticed that there was drywall dust on the attachments and in the canister. They used my Dyson vaccum as a shop vac and did not bother to ask or tell me, I was in the garage the entire time and would of let them use my shop vac if they asked. Just because you see something there does not entitle you to use it. Everything that I have listed I had to find out on my own, nothing was ever mentioned to me.

Called and they sent someone out within the hour. Turned out to be a capacitor. Fixed it in less than 30 minutes and house was cool in an hour. No problems thus far and it's been over a month. All is well. Price was a little much for a small piece of equipment but I was fine because we were not hot!
Description of Work: A/C went out overnight. Was not cooling. House was over 90 degrees and it was 9 a.m. in the morning.

The technicians were very knowledgable and professional. I was given a 30 minute window instead of a 4 hour window for their time of arrival. They arrived on time and finished ahead of schedule. Also, the price was less than quoted because they finished ahead of schedule, exhibiting to me their honesty. I had agreed to the quote they could have charged me accordingly. Very pleasant experience.

Checkups are fine but during the spring checkup they found a leak in my ac system. Since the system was 11 years old the tech recommended a complete replacement including the ducts. I didn't think I could afford a complete replacement and also wasn"t sure that a 11 year old unit was beyond repair. I asked for an estimate for the replacement and also an estimate on the repair. A sales man came out and looked in the attic and said he would get back with an estimate. When I didn't hear form them I called the office and was told that someone would get back with me and no one did. This fall at he checkup I once again asked the repair tech if someone could give me an estimate on replacing the evaporator coil and he said he would tell the office. That was two weeks ago and I haven't heard from anyone. I can only assume that they aren't interested in doing my repair work. I am looking for another AC company to give me some estimates. Kinda disappointing since I have been using Ainsworth to do the annual checkups for several years.

I do apologize for the misunderstanding in the spring. I found where Matt came out to give you a quote but you asked for the tech to come back and locate the exact pinpoint location of the leak before you would allow salesman to give you price. I see we sent the tech back out the next day to do just that. When Matt asked the Tech if he was supposed to call you back he was told no you said you would call us. We try not to be "pushy" and make consumers feel pressured to hurry up and buy from us so Matt waited for you to contact him. Summers can be crazy here and we are human so occasionally things fall between the cracks. I assure that is not the norm. If we in any way, left you feeling we were not interested in your business then I apologize deeply as that is never our intent. I am glad we worked past this and you gave us a second chance as I see we did install an new coil and duct work on 12/17/14. Thank you for sticking with us. Our customers mean everything to us and we really try hard to keep them happy.

The system was worth $32000. We have been using them for years. When they came out this past fall, he basically condemned our heating system because he found holes in the side of the furnace which could have given us Carbon monoxide poisoning. I have been using them for eight years in them coming out every fall and spring to do that. We knew we needed a new system and he let us know that it was going down for the last couple of years. We had a really, really bad builder that is out of business now and we knew he had installed a faulty air conditioning system in our house. I have never had a problem with anyone that has come out and more than one person has come out. I have worked with almost all of them in the company, because it is a small company and they all have been professional. When we had our new system installed, five or six men came out. One of the things that really impressed me was that when they did the first system, one day after the inspector from the company came out and inspected the system to make sure everything was okay. He checked if I had any questions about the new system and if I knew how to use the control board. He explained everything really well. What impressed me the most was that they came out the next day to make sure everything was properly installed and was okay. The price was competitive and quality was excellent. They were really good. It is an excellent company.
Description of Work: They put in a brand new a central air system. They come out in the fall and spring and check out both our systems to make sure everything is okay.

AINSWORTH & CO are really good. They also replaced my whole air conditioning system last summer. They also replaced our heater the year before that. They come out bi-annually to check and tune-up our heat and air conditioner. They're always prompt and on time and always good. There were a few things that were messy, but it's a difficult place to work.

After having two AC installers subcontracted by Harris County Disaster Recover with questionable certifications earlier in the year it was discovered that one on the AC units they installed not cooling properly. It had two freon leaks, and two silver solder joints were leaking freon and oil. The AC technician discovered the leaks, one was under the insulation and not readily visable as we watched. He isolated the freon and repaired the leaks, pressure tested the system and it checked ok with electronic leak detector. AC unit was restored to proper cooling and I would recommend Ainsworth for their good service.

I live in Wisconsin and my elderly mother and sister live in Texas. I have a separate Angie?s List account for them. Below is my mother?s explanation (in her own words) of her recent experience with a local Baytown, Texas business. I must say that she is always very reluctant to give negative reviews ? she only wants to say nice things. This situation really had an impact on her. My husband and children and I moved to Baytown, Texas in 1972. Ainsworth & Co. Air Conditioning and Heating was highly recommended to us by some of our neighbors. We were always pleased with the service from Ainsworth! In 2009 I moved up to Wisconsin to live by my son and his wife. (My husband was deceased.) In 2010 I moved back to Baytown. I renewed service with Ainsworth. Everything was going well. The end of June 2013 I noticed a leaking from my attic (A/C unit is in the attic) outside my bedroom window. I had never observed this before! I called Ainsworth and explained to the man who answered the phone about the leaking. He assured me that there was nothing to worry about. He also said that due to the high humidity this was perfectly normal. I took his word for it. I went to a family reunion in Ohio July 4th -7th. When I returned to Baytown I was horrified to see a huge pile of the ceiling which had fallen on my bedroom floor (from the attic where the A/C is). I called Ainsworth & Co. again and told the lady who answered what had happened while I was in Ohio. I also told her about my calling prior to my trip. I told the lady at Ainsworth that I had asked my next door neighbor to go up in the attic and check out the situation. He told me that the drip pan was overflowing and there was a lot slime in the drip pan. I have always had a spring and fall checkup. I had had the spring check up on 4/15/13. I told the lady at Ainsworth what the man at Ainsworth had told me when I first noticed the water dripping from the attic. This lady told me that this problem is not unusual due to the humidity. I have lived in Texas for 50 years and I have never had this problem! I was very devastated and hurt!! I never received an apology from Ainsworth, much less an offer to help with the cost of repairing the ceiling!
Description of Work: Had annual spring and fall routine A/C system inspections performed. ($159 per year) Failed to diagnose and/or repair overflowing A/C drip pan which resulted in costly ceiling damage.

Response from AINSWORTH & CO
A common misconception about preventative maintenance is that it is a cure all. Drain lines pose a unique set of problems. The main drain line generally ties into a vent stack which then ties into plumbing system for the house. What we use to "blow out" these lines is generally sufficient to clear the A/C line. However if a problem develops in the vent stack or elsewhere in the plumbing system this generally will not resolve this. As we are not licensed plumbers, the State of Texas does not allow us to touch any part of the home's plumbing system, except the A/C main and secondary drain lines. If a problem does arise in the plumbing system it can cause the main A/C drain to stop flowing and back up into the main pan. It will then overflow into the secondary pan which sits under the unit and flow out of the secondary drain line. The secondary line usually drains outside of the home so that it will alert the homeowner to a problem. The average system produces up to 8 gallons of water a day. We performed Ms. Rhoads A/C check up on April 15, 2013. So for nearly 90 days her drain lines worked fine. That could amount to over 700 gallons of water that moved through those lines before her problem arose. As for calling in and the "man" in the office telling her it was just normal condensation, I can't really address that. We do not have a man that answers the phone during normal business hours and I can’t find a record of her calling in after hours. I am not disputing her clam that she spoke to someone. I can only say that the response we train our employees to give when someone calls in with water dripping out of the secondary drain line is to explain to them that the water dripping is an indication that the primary drain line is stopped up. We recommend that the customer turn the system off to stop all water production and have an A/C company or licensed plumber look at it. I am by no means saying that she is not telling the truth. If anything I believe that it is possible that a miscommunication may have occurred. If the person she spoke to misunderstood her description of the problem and thought she was referring to the copper suction line from the condensor into the side of the house, then yes it is very normal for that to "condensate” or "sweat". The hotter the outdoor temp is the more that line will sweat. Again I cannot attest to who Ms. Rhoads spoke to or what was said. Unfortunately the first I heard of her being dissatisfied with our service was when I was notified by Angie's list of this post on 11/11/13. I have tried my best to police the employees to see if anyone remembers talking to her but after 4 months and hundreds of calls, no one remembers this particular call. I feel terrible that Ms Rhoads feels slighted in any way, and I wish I would have had the opportunity to address this with her at the time it happened. I feel sure that I would have been able to resolve this matter if I had been given to chance.

I just bought my new house and moved in a week ago and discovered that the A/C was not working. I called the home warranty company who set up an appt. for their contracted A/C company (RLC) to come out in two days. We said okay since it was not quite unbearable hot a few days ago. Anyway, the tech from RLC showed up at 4 pm on Monday and explained that the coils were frozen solid and that they needed a good 6 hours to melt before he could diagnose the problem. He said that there were no appts. available the next day and that they would come back on Wednesday. I asked if they could at least provide maybe a portable A/C unit or even a box fan and he replied, no. We sucked it up and waited until Wednesday (meanwhile, the temps had gotten into the 90s by now). Another tech showed up at 1:30 pm and was as rude as you can imagine. He would never make eye contact with me and kept going between texting on his phone and having a halfway coherent conversation with me about the issues that he found. He kept mumbling about an evaporator coil that may have a leak but his company would have to charge $800 but if it were still under warranty then I would need to get the coil and then maybe they could come back at some point in time to replace it. I asked again if they could provide me with ANY relief in the form of a fan or portable unit until the part came in and he looked at me like I asked him for a million dollars! He told me that there was nothing more he could do and to sign his paperwork and wait for a call back from the warranty company (Old Republic...which is a whole other Angie's List negative review that I need to make!). So Old Republic called me and said that the parts are still under warranty and that I needed to call Lennox to get the parts and that I should also get them to cover the labor and the case was closed in their eyes. Way to go, Old Republic!!! I called Lennox and was told that they only send parts to authorized dealers and installers, not just any one. I then went to look at my air handler in the attic and noticed a sticker from Ainsworth & Co and decided to give them a call. I explained the whole story and the lovely lady on the other end basically told me that the previous home owner had an extended warranty and that they could come out the same day and take care of me! Wouldn't you know it, Tracy showed up 20 minutes later and had the cool air blowing 20 minutes later. He basically patched the issue temporarily (a good 2 weeks worth of cool air) until they could get the new evaporator coil in and then they would come back to finish the job. Talk about fantastic customer service. I even went ahead and signed up for their annual maintenance plan. So glad the previous owners used this gem of a company to install their new system!!!

Great service and the repair man was very knowledgeable NO GUESS WORK!!!.Had a problem with the condenser fan motor and although it had been recently replaced by myself, it was still defective. The tech had a replacement on his truck and had my a/c going in less than two hours start to finish. A little pricey but well worth it. I called at about ten after five on a Friday and had to pay a $100.00 fee that did not go towards repairs but I would still would highly recommend them to anyone and I will use them again!!!

Danny was in and out in about 30-45 minutes. He is very thorough and not only takes care of the attic unit, but goes outside and checks the outside unit as well.
Description of Work: The money spent this time was for a filter for our heat/ac system. We have a maintenance agreement with Ainsworth and every spring in March or April and every fall in October or November we have them come to inspect the system and do whatever maintenance needs to be done. We always ask for Danny Daley to do the work because we like the job he does. Ourhouse was built in 1975 and we purchased it in 2001. In November 2006 we needed to replace the heating system in our house due to a cracked heat exchanger. The heating/AC system had been altered a number of times over the years and the alterations had not been performed by professionals to say the least. Instead of having just the heat exchanger replaced, we opted to replace the whole heat/AC system complete with new ductwork. We contacted 4 companies for bids and two were lower than Ainsworth and one was higher. We chose to use Ainsworth because their people were very professional, the price was reasonable and they didn't try to sell us something we didn't need or want. They showed up when they were supposed to show up, they cleaned up their mess and treated our house with respect. Our system is a Lennox system with a whole house filtration system. If you need a heating/AC company that is professional, courteous and does a good job, call Ainsworth.

Our air conditioner suddenly stopped blowing cold late one evening. We called Ainsworth the next morning. We hadn't used them before, but according to the sticker on the side of the unit they were the ones who installed it (for the previous homeowner). They promised to come out that afternoon, and I got a phone call from them about 15 minutes before the technician arrived letting me know he was on his way. The technician, Chuck, was extremely friendly and professional. He diagnosed the problem quickly and replaced the capacitor right on the spot with a new one from his van. The service call was $89, almost twice as much as I was quoted by another local company. This was not a "cheap" service call, but I did get excellent service and I would definitely call Ainsworth again.

The office called the morning of our appointment to say that the repairman was running a few minutes late on his previous job but would be on his way soon. I think he arrived just 20 minutes past our appointment time. He looked at our system and determined that due to the age of our A/C, it would cost more to repair than to continue to have the freon topped off once a year. My husband, who knows about these things, said the repairman was very knowledgeable and professional. He took the side of the unit off and found and showed my husband the leak. We decided to go ahead and just have the freon topped off. We really appreciated that the repairman didn't try to rip us off with a repair that wasn't necessary! When we replace our A/C and furnace in a few years, we'll most likely call Ainsworth.
Description of Work: We have had a slow leak in our A/C evaporator coil and have had the freon "topped off" (about 1.5 pounds) at the beginning of the summer for the last few years. We decided to finally have it repaired this year. We expected this service to cost us $1000-$1500. After three calls to the A/C company we have used for the past 12 years went unanswered, we called Ainsworth in Baytown to do the job.
