I was very pleased with Brazos Valley. I have an old A/C furnace that is on its last legs and it stopped working this summer. I was convinced that i would have to replace the entire unit for thousands of dollars. They could have told me the whole system was shot and I would have believed them. Instead, they were able to replace a broken part, repair the system and get the system working again promptly for just over $300. I called them around 1:30, they said they would be there between 5 & 7. They called me when the technician was on his way, and he was there when promised. He was very thourough and I had a working A/C by 6:30. He talked to me about replacing my unit and offered the maintenance contract., but it was very low key and professional, not a hard sell which I appreciated. When my system does go (and it will), they will be one of the first places I call. I do not know that they are the cheapest company, but they are honest, reliable, and professional.

The service went well overall. They had to switch my appointment time due to an emergency, but still came out the same day. They send an email with a photo of the technician that will be coming out to your home, which is a nice added safety measure. They offer an ongoing maintenance plan that you can pay for annually or monthly and the tech also recommended a surge protector for our A/C breaker. Prices were given for both but we did not feel pressued by him to purchase either item/service. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again when the need arises!

These folks were professional in every aspect of their work. They scheduled a date with reasonable time window, called to confirm prior to the service date, and called to inform me the technician was in transit to my home. Upon arrival the technician performed the agreed upon service with proficiency while taking care to protect my home's interior when transitioning from the outside A/C unit to the interior unit.

To me an AC tune-up is a complete cleaning of the system and checking refrigerant levels. Here were the extract charges: Clean coil: $250 Clean and Repair (not replace), condensation pan: $130 My wire from the AC didn't have power pulled through, so they said need new wire pulled. Cost $195 So: $575 What I did: smallest spool of AC wire, $21.95 AC Coil cleaner, the easy version. $12.95. Rubber paint, for condensation pan, stuff is cool so I bought the big can. $8.95. Needed screwdriver, both kind; wired brush for pan, dust vac for pan, wire strippers for wiring. Coil clean 30 minutes, sweaty hot. Pan fix 60 minutes, scrub, vacuum, clean with alcohol , taped stuff off so it would get the paint on it. Wire fix a couple hours, didn't actually have to run one because it was there(i was angry about that), I don't recommend this one for the novice, you could electrocute yourself. But if you work with electric stuff, there is a schematic on the cover, easy to figure out but still took a meter and a couple hours, because whoever put it to get there years back, didn't follow the schematic. :)

Provider arrived on time and proceeded to test the units for any issues. Provider was very thorough on his explanation of what was being done as well as what I should do to maintain the units myself. Impressed with the amount of knowledge they were willing to share as well as how comfortable I felt that I was not being "taken for a ride" as I have with some other providers.
Description of Work: Used the provider for an AC unit check. Nothing more than cleaning had to be done, but the service provider was very responsive to my questions and thorough in explaining how best to maintain my multiple units.

Signed contract on a Sunday and system was installed on Monday. Overall experience has been very good. The technicians they have sent out are all very polite and professional. The Aprilaire 8600 controller had a problem and caused the fan to run continuously. Provider is in the process of replacing the controller - or maybe upgrading at a small cost to a Nest learning thermostat. The price seemed a little high ($11K included the entire system and attic insulation). It's possible that we may have been able to get it a bit less expensively through another provider, but BVS has a "complete system replacement" guarantee if the compressor fails in 10 years, and the warranty is supposedly transferrable if we sell the house before then. So, hopefully, the extra cost is justifiable; too early to tell.
Description of Work: Installed complete new air conditioning system - 5-ton condenser, furnace, evaporator, flush system (replaced legacy R22 system with all new R410-A components), blew in attic insulation, installed attic tent.

I was impressed with the person they sent out. He was very thorough and of course he said, I had a lot of things that needed to be done but he did take pictures of my unit at the attic and he did take pictures to show me what he was talking about. They were very professional. They arrived on time and spent quite a bit of time in checking the units out. The prices they gave me where quite high.
Description of Work: I used the "Big Deal" and gave me an estimate for the tune-up of my two air conditioning units.

They confirmed the appointment several times and sent a photo of the serviceman before he came. He was right on time. He did an excellent job - he was very thorough - inspected the ducting, checked the ratings - took pictures of the problems - washed the AC - and wrote up a report for what would eventually be needed to He was here for about an hour! There was no follow up with the company though... We would consider replacing our 13 year old unit. I thought they would check up on how it went and did we want to discuss replacing he system or the ducting.
Description of Work: We bought a big deal - $48.00 AC inspection - normally priced at 125.00

Description of Work: Initially serviced the AC then there was a problem within 2 days of the service and on returning charged me $300 to fix this. My husband was suspicious about how the problem occurred when the system was deemed okay two days previously. These things can happen though????

Response from BVS Home Experts
I just got off of the phone with our technician, Brad, who was out on this call originally on 4/23 and then again on 5/7 (2 weeks not 2 days later). It is ironic that he otherwise seems to be a favorite with all of our other customers. He explained to me how he checked her unit the first time, and even went above and beyond by performing some extra work to get her unit up and running. He even took pictures and showed them to the users. Unfortunately the previous company/person who had been out to service their A/C did not strap down the capacitor causing it to vibrate over to the contactor, which shorted it out. Brad moved it back over, strapped it down and replaced a wire (not part of the deal, but wanted to help them out). The capacitor was weak at this point and our best guess is that once it was getting the proper amount of electricity it was too much to handle. The other thing is that as it gets hotter and the unit starts working harder these things can just happen. If we had a crystal ball we would fix all of the problems in advance, but let's be honest, no one wants to fix anything if it's not broken. Brad did suggest that she replace her unit and even spoke with her about our Solar Air Conditioners. She made it clear that she was not interested in replacing at this time and when we did go back out we simply replaced the failed capacitor for $217 (not $300 or $400 as she mentioned in the review). Sometimes we aren't given much to work with, thanks to previous HVAC companies, but we do our best to get our customers up and running for as long as possible. Unfortunately it was only a couple of weeks in this case. We are happy to share the pictures with the user once again if she and her husband would like, and even have our technician give her and her husband a more detailed overview of what happened.

Excellent. Rene was professional, courteous and hard working. Will use this company again.
Description of Work: Bought two $48.00 Big Deal coupons for A/C Tune-Up, Cleaning, Inspection + up to 1 lb of Freon for two A/C units. Rene, the technician, showed up on time and worked diligently and non stop for several hours. Checked evaporator coils, cleaned drain lines, checked filters, added freon, cleaned condensing coils and many other things. Found a leak in the attic that was probably from the time new A/Cs were installed not too long ago and gave me a quote for repair.

I think the AC check up was a very educational experience for me.
Description of Work: Purchased 48.00 Annual A/C Check-up on Angie's List - Brad came out on time and inspected all parts of the HVAC system, spent alot of time as this is an old , quirky house and there were some additional pieces of equipment no longer in use that he checked to see why they might be there. He inspected the duct work and checked the condition of the coil, pan, blower. On the outside he took off covers and inspected everything very thoroughly, found some parts that are working now but very rusty, so the can fail. He cleaned the parts and hosed off the compressor and recommended the buildup of leaves be removed. He then explained how the system is put together and details with pictures of what he found in the attic. He then explained the available options to repair or replace the various parts. Brad answered all my questions and was extremely helpful. I did not have any additional work done at this time because I am not sure what I want done. Once I decide, I will call Brazos Valley.

I was impressed with all aspects of my experience: from setting up the appointment to the final report from the service tech who arrived on time. I was e-mailed a confirmation of my appointment with a picture of the Tech, they called to confirm the day before, and the day of to let me know when he would be arriving. The service tech was professional, clean and well spoken - he was there to do his job. I would highly recommend and will use Brazos Valley Services in the future.
Description of Work: Everything was clearly explained to me including what was done (A/C tune-up) as well as what would be recommended to ensure efficient running of my A/C which is about 5 yrs. old. What impressed me most is that no one tried to ‘sell’ me anything that I didn’t need, and my options were clearly stated and priced.

Dave arrived on time @8:30am. Performed the chemical wash on outdoor condensor coil. He came in and gave my husband some programming instructions on the thermostat. He left by about 10am. He left me some pricing information on upgrading my service club membership. BVS does one thing that impresses me a lot. They send out e-mail confirmations of your appointments and it includes your service personnel's picture. I think that is great so you know who to expect. If that person changes they call and let you know. Thanks Dave and Brazos Valley Services for always being there when we need you with your EXCELLENT service!

Based on the overall experience, I will be calling them again.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal. The service on both a/c units was done the following day. The service professional was punctual and very thorough. Knowing the unit was old and would probably need additional repairs, I was ready for further estimates. Mr. Reyes gave me a complete breakdown of what he had done for the inspection and tune-up and a detailed explanation of the repairs needed.
