We have been very happy with Comfort Air, haven't used Primo Plumbing.
Description of Work: We have employed Comfort Air for a number of years, have alwyas been satisfied. The price might sound excessive, but we pay that in the fall for two services, fall and spring, to check our heating and air conditoning systems. The technician calls before he arrives - within the advertised timeframe - and does his job, informs us if there are problems. We highly recommend Comfort Air.

(member name removed), I would love to have you as a maintenance customer to take care of your air conditioning and plumbing. Our Platinum Protection Plan is $195 per year and provides you with twice a year maintenance and peace of mind knowing that you will never pay a diagnostic fee ($90) or any overtime charges for night or weekend service if you have any problems with your AC system. It also allows you to save 10% on all repairs. We also have a $25 coupon for Angie List customers if the tech is provided this at time of service. I will still honor either the coupon if you can get me the coupon or have you sign up for our maintenance program and get you the discount. My ph# is 210-494-1691. Pat Freund

Came home from out of town to discover water coming through ceiling onto kitchen floor. Called Comfort Air base based on recommendation from friend who uses them for her 10 rental properties. They responded the next morning at 8 a.m. and the repairs were done in less than an hour. The actual repair was only about $100, but I also signed up for a maintenance program which includes twice a year "tune-ups" or "check-ups", so that brought the cost to a little less than $300. Since this occurred over the Memorial Day Weekend, I was happy to receive the service in a timely manner without having to pay an exorbitant emergency fee. I will definitely call them in the future.
Description of Work: Repaired leaking drain line from AC unit in attic, causing water to drip through kitchen ceiling . Rodents chewed through the drain line, disconnecting it, which allowed all the condensation to puddle on sheetrock below.

They showed up on time, were professional, they did good work, they were comparable to what other people were charging. I thought they were a little high but they were in similar pricing with other companies. there was one company that I talked to that kept trying to up-sell me and that really aggravated me. Having a hot water heater in the attic you didn't want slouches working on it.
Description of Work: I used Primo Plumbing to install a hot water heater. The hot water heater is in the attic so there was a surcharge for that. It is hard to get to and its a the stupid design of the house.

Excellent. We started using this company when we moved in last August. We noticed that the air handler was making a loud noise on Saturday evening. We called Comfort Air first thing Monday morning and they said that they would send somebody out later in the day. The tech arrived around 5:00 pm. He crawled up in the attic and determined that the blower fan and motor was going out. He said that we could still use it and hopefully it would last until the parts got ordered. The air conditioner and air handler are only a couple of years old so they are still under warranty. The parts were ordered and we were told that they would be in on Thursday around 12:00pm. The technicians Robert and Adrian showed up a little after 5:00pm and installed the new blower fan and motor. Everything was up and running before dinner. : ) We have been very happy with all of the technicians that have come to house over the last year, whether to repair something on the unit or to do their scheduled maintenance. The technicians are very pleasant, knowledgeable and thorough. Since our air conditioner is under warranty we do not pay for repairs on those services but we do buy the scheduled maintenance and their prices are very reasonable. We always get a call in the spring and summer to make an appointment for our scheduled maintenance. I really do appreciate their initiative to make the call and get us on the calendar for inspections. Thank you Comfort Air......you should be very proud of your staff. s miller

Primo was recommended to me by a neighbor. Primo was the best price quote, but did not have the exact size/height unit to replace my broken unit. I ended up buying the replacement unit from Home Depot, since they had the same size/capacity there. Primo agreed to work me into their schedule, and do the work on a time and materials basis, since I had drained, disconnected and removeed the existing unit. The plumbers were very courteous and professional. I would definitely use them again.

The tech tested and cleaned both air handlers in the attic as well as servicing and cleaning (washing) the compressor and fan assemblies outside. He took the time to explain his numerous readings and explain to me why they were important. I was impressed with his thouroughness and attentention to detail. I was particularly concerned about one of my units as it is 13 years old. But it tested out within normal limits. The tech did not try to sell me anything. Thank goodness this company compensates their employees well and does not use commissions.

I would highly recommend them for difficult jobs. They did a really nice job in finding and repairing my wall leak. A friend with a foundation leak had recommended them to me. They did good work on the new installation, too.
Description of Work: I had a leak in my wall which they repaired. I also was doing some remodeling and they installed 4 faucets,a shower drain,a shower valve and replaced 3 toilets.

Wonderful! I called Friday morning and they were abel to replace the pressure regulator and the install the new hose bib the same day! Tommy, Keith, Tommy and company were terrific and so professional, polite, and quick! I had used them before last year when my electric hot water heater went out and I replaced it with a gas one - great experience - so glad I was referred to them by my friends at SAWS.(this was before I joined Angie's List.). And they remembered me!!
Description of Work: My High Water Pressure regulator was acting up - if you used more than one water source in the house or outside the pipes and refrig. would shake and rattle you thought you were experiencing a earthquake. Also they found I needed a new hose bib fro my back outside faucet that was slowly leaking.

I bought a service agreement with them. I had to have some pressure reduction valve installed because it was bad. They were pretty much in line with the price. I bought a quality valve from a store, and it was more expensive. The guys who did the work were great. I have no problems at all. They were very informative and very professional. They did a good work. They know what they were doing.

The time of arrival is a broad window (Morning 8-12 or Afternoon 1-5). The office does call you about 20 minutes ahead of time to let you know the tech is enroute. The technician, Mike, started his inspection with the air handler the attic. He took the unit apart examining & cleaning (he used a special compressed gas). He then disassembled, examined and cleaned the outside unit. Finally he checked the AC's operation, amp levels and coolant levels. He went inside the house to check the air returns, get filter sizes (and check cleanliness), etc. He declared that the system was running just fine for it's age (12 years). I like that there was no sales pressure.
Description of Work: Hired this company to perform a Spring AC "tune up" on my 5 ton system. The $110 price is for both a Spring AC check and a Fall heater check.

We have used them for the past couple years. We really like them. They are significantly cheaper than the other major heating and air conditioning people in this area. We used to be with a different company, and we switched to this company. They treat you like a friend. They provide great quality services. They are very friendly. The provider we used to use said that we needed a completely new system. I played golf with the guy who runs Comfort-Air, and he said that he would give us a free, no-obligation quote. They gave a quote for $2000 cheaper, so we stayed with them.
Description of Work: They come out twice a year to check the system. We pay annually.

There was a long delay at our request of the bid and the actual reception of the bid and also a large delay in the time that they have started the job and they are still working on it. The employees are very courteous and pleasant, but it seemed sometimes that they didn't have the parts that they needed so they had to delay.

This company came highly recommended to us by an architect friend/client, so we included them in the three proposals that we obtained before replacing our heating/cooling system. Provided a timely estimate...stated would be at our home at a given time and they were 30 minutes early. The rep sat in his vehicle until we finished with a prior guest...he didn't approach our door until the time of the appointment. Gave us very fair information which we tested against the other 2 proposals. They weren't the least expensive and they weren't the most expensive - however their customer service was exceptional. Based upon our research, the recommendation from our friend, and the company's representative, plus telephone contact after the proposal was delivered, we chose this company. They were on time for the installation, and spent the whole day (as they had indicated would be required at minimum) installing. Very polite, fair price, highly recommended by us.
Description of Work: We had to have one of our two cooling/heating systems replaced. It was 17 years old and had developed a freon leak.

Excellent. The technicians are professional, prompt, and make helpful suggestions about ways to optimize energy use. I called them last summer about a hole in a duct joint in the attic. Someone was out to repair it within hours. No charge. And checked out the system while they were there. The company personnel are courteous and very responsive.
