Within 4 years the air conditioner coil developed a leak and I had to put in 4# to charge the system. Total tried to take advantage of repair/replacement of the coil rather than help me out in the slightest.
Description of Work: Had Total put in a HVAC system, the salesman said Total would stand behind the system.

They were wonderful. From beginning to end, 5-star, definitely would hire again. It took three days for everything to be done.
Description of Work: Installed 2 new heaters inside, 2 new air conditioners outside, and adjusted everything else that needed to be adjusted, like the thermostat.

The quality of the work exceeded my expectations. This major undertaking was done very professionally and, considering its scope, in a surprisingly short amount of time. I am very pleased with the way in which the old equipment was dismantled and hauled away, the new equipment was installed, and the care the foreman and work crew took in the process. They also added more attic flooring to make future servicing of the furnace easier and also moved the control for the attic light switch to a more convenient location.
Description of Work: Replace A/C unit, furnace, and related duct-work.

The repair cost was $930 including replacing the Freon. The issue originated a few days after they have been out to do their maintenance service. I was suspicious about that. It had occurred so soon afterwards and I was concerned that perhaps it has something to do with their maintenance.
Description of Work: We did have to have a repair done later after they had been here. They repaired a leak in the copper tubing.

The technician was scheduled to arrive between 2 and 3. I received a call at 3:10 saying that the technician would be late be she would make sure that he had the correct filters with him. The tech arrives at 3:35 with the wrong filters and only "looked" at one HVAC and then says we can get out of the hot attic. He shows me a picture of his dog and writes a service call invoice for $75 and says that someone would be back to install the filters when they were in the area next. NOT a great way to make first impression!
Description of Work: Replace air filters and inspect both HVAC units for air quality problems.

It was excellent. Total Air & Heat came the same day I called and even made it a bit earlier than they originally planned. Their call out rate and actual labor charge was very reasonable as well.
Description of Work: Total Air & Heat quickly diagnosed what was causing my thermostat to malfunction by locating a damaged wire in the attic. They replaced the wire and got my AC back to running as normal!

The technician arrived about an hour after our initial conversation. I was informed there was an extra charge for after hours service calls. I let him know I was ok with that. The A.C. Was in working condition in less than an hour. He was very courteous.
Description of Work: Rewired our AC after our puppy ate through the wiring. He also checked the Freon and added some.

The technical work and replacement of the parts was excellent. However, I was charged $164 for one capacitor and $183 for the other. Both of these cost $10 ea on Amazon. Unbelievable markup. Will not be using these guys again.

Response from Total Air & Heat Co
(Removed member name)-We're happy you thought our service was excellent...we strive very hard to have the best technicians available. I'm sorry you felt our capacitors are over priced. It's true you can buy capacitors very cheap over the internet...however those capacitors are Chinese made and fail very fast..,the capacitors we use are the very best we can find and much more reliable. The Chinese capacitors don't have any warranty...we warranty ours for 1 year. The price of our capacitors includes the labor to install them too. We were at your home 2 hours and charged our diagnostic fee and for the 2 capacitors....that's it. Most customers prefer the flat rate charges we offer, rather than splitting out labor and materials. Either way...you approved our invoice. To be honest...in order to cover the costs of stocking our trucks, insurance, and fuel...plus having knowledgeable technicians who are back ground checked and drug tested is not cheap. We hope your system continues to work well for you after the repairs we made. Best Regards, Steve Lauten President Total Air & Heat Co.

Jeff came out to give an estimate for a new AC system (full system -- compressor and indoor unit). I was thoroughly impressed with everything about the interaction. Setting up the visit with the central office was quick and easy, they gave me a 4 hour window and then a 30 minute call to let me know he was almost here. When Jeff arrived he was professional, friendly, and thorough. He explained everything he was suggesting and why, pointed out issues with my system and clarified what was wrong. His estimate was not the cheapest I received, but it was far from the most expensive. He was receptive to my questions, and even after he left answered emails quickly with information I requested. In the end I decided to go with another company because of a personal connection within that company -- but would have been very comfortable going with Total Air because of my interactions with Jeff. I have kept his card, and should I need service in the future would not hesitate to call Total Air.

Note that I went up to attic with the repair "team" and stayed with them till it was fixed. The heater was fixed and still works great. It may be old but with annual checkups will do fine. (No parts were replaced) and the charge was higher than I thought it was advertized as an Angie's list professional service provider. MOST IMPORTANTLY it was fixed and the heater worked and still does.
Description of Work: Heater was not coming on. Checked heat exchangers........all o.k., so he said the unit was old and should be replaced ..After some time I finally Said NO .told him I wanted him to find the problem. He finally found a tube or line was blocked and cleaned it out and heater worked fine.

The part that had the leak was replaced under the manufacturers warranty, but the labor, Freon flush, cleaning, and refill all cost me again. It SUCKS to drop 2 grand on repairs for a brand new air conditioner. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that the initial install had nothing to do with the leak less than 2 years later, but who knows.
Description of Work: Initially installed a brand new air conditioner 2 years ago. Then this year there was a Freon leak in some part of the big upstairs unit so they replaced that under warranty.
