The problem was getting them here. Monday I had a four hour appt window. Missed their calls starting at 1:24 I called back at 1:45 and they're already knocked me off the list. Not put me at the bottom of the list but completely knocked me off. I am a repeat customer with the maintenance agreement, this was my fourth visit by Air Specialist and they still treated me like I was a bad customer, I have not missed a previous appt. after requesting to speak with the supervisor they scheduled me for Tuesday instead of Thursday. On Tuesday they called at 3:45 and he arrived at 5:15. If it was over an hour to get to the house why could they not give me more time to call them back?
Description of Work: They replaced the run capacitor for $200 plus trip charge ( item online was less than $20).

They told me I needed a new pipe and a new wiring harness, plus freon, all at 2200$. When I inspected their work prior to putting in freon, all they did was electric tape the wires, and solder the tube. That in itself is fine, but that's not what I was paying for. When I fired them on the spot for lying to me and cheating me, unknowingly to me, they drilled a new hole into the copper tube. When I spoke to the President he basically told me his guys did nothing wrong and I am a liar. Well, I am not. Never use this company if you are smart.
Description of Work: Repair AC - Electric cable shorted and punched a hole through the freon pipe.

Went well. Took one free service call for some fine adjustments. System works great and cam with a 10 year warranty. It is very difficult to find someone who sells and maintains these systems.

My wife called on a Monday to schedule our spring check of our two air conditioning units expecting to hear scheduling a week or two out. Suprisingly, we were offered service the next day, Tuesday afternoon. We scheduled the service. Brandon Bass (Serviceman) showed up on schedule. Introduced himself, explained exactly what he was going to do. After completion of the work Brandon Bass explained clearly what he did, what he found and his recommendations. Throughtout the service call Brandon Bass was professional, polite and courteous in responding to all my questions. We are so pleased that we have an annual service contract with Air Specialist and that Brandon was dispatched to service our two units..

Called over weekend and answering service said someone would contact me. Waited almost 1-1/2 hrs. No return call. I called back and they said that due to the weekend and Labor Day no one would call me until Tuesday. Wish that I was told that on the first call. Do people only need air conditioning service 9-5 on weekdays? How nice would that be.

Air Specialist was scheduled for Thursday, my grown son came to the house and stayed so they could come fix the unit. I game them both mine and my husband's cell phone numbers to call us when they got there as we were both out of town until Friday. I called my son late that day to see how it was going only to find out nobody had showed up yet. My husband had forgot his phone and they had apparently called him to verify we would be home. They said that they called me also. They cancelled the appt because he did not answer. Nobody ever called my cell phone even though they said that they did, there was no record of any calls from them or even during that morning and afternoon. They said that they would not be able to come back out until Monday. This is Texas and the bedrooms are upstairs. I could not risk any of my out-of-town family becoming ill due to the extreme heat upstairs. I ended up calling a friend of a friend of a friend and they fixed it within hours of my family showing up. I ended up needing both inside and outside units replaced.
Description of Work: Our air conditioner upstairs started making a loud noise on Tuesday and we had to turn it off. We had a houseful of family coming in on Friday. I had called Air Specialist because of the good reviews.

The salesman and office people are very helpful and pleasant to do business with. The guys who came out to install did a good job. They had a bit of a tough job as my house was built in 1965 and as with all old houses it's never that easy. But, I am very pleased with the work. They arrived when they were supposed to and did the job in one day. One of the guys started cutting a new return air in the wrong room, but luckily I was there to stop him. There was a cut in the sheetrock and they sent someone out in the next couple of days to fix it. It looks very good. They enroll you for the warranty with the manufacturer and will send you the paperwork if you ask for it. If not, they keep it on file at their office.
