Technician came out within 24 hrs., did an honest appraisal of problems with A/C, decided that the system needed a thorough cleaning and performed this service very well. He stated the price up front and stayed several hours, as long as it took to get the system to work. Very satisfied with the service.
Description of Work: The A/C did not work at all. We called the technician because we had no idea of where to start to diagnose the problem. The problem turned out to be seriously dirty coils and filters which caused the system to malfunction.

I'm glad I did not listen to this company's advice. After our basement suffered a severe flood, the rep (Bryan) stated that the hot water heater has mud in the gas valve and therefore cannot be started. Provided an estimate of $1,700 to "install new 50 gallon water heater with new 3/4 ball valve and gas cache and expansion tank with a 3/4 valve pressure." This sounded way to expensive to me so I said I would get back to them. I asked for a second opinion and got it: despite the flood nothing to prevent the water heater from working again, and a rep from another company started it up for only $75 service charge.
Description of Work: They conducted an assessment of water damage and gave me an estimate for repair. Turned off water valve in house.

McCarthy was the lowest bid from 3 local companies, although not by much. The salesman who gave us the estimate was helpful & informative, but also rather pushy. I signed a contract for him to do the replacement without really realizing that I was hiring him--thought he was asking me to sign off on his proposal. We went with them anyway and were very pleased with their work and their accommodation of our particular desires with positioning of the installation. Sadly, when carrying out our old furnace they created numerous deep gouges in the middle of our painted cement laundry room floor, and then seemed to try to hide them by moving a rug--I didn't notice the worst until I put the rug back by the door after they left. I wouldn't have been so bothered if they'd mentioned and/or apologized for the damage, but I didn't appreciate the unprofessional way they handled it. On the other hand I didn't contact them to give them the opportunity to repair the damage.
Description of Work: New gas furnace and air conditioner and coil.

Excellent. I was told they would be there between 12 pm and 4 pm. They arrived at 12:30 and finished at approximately 2:20 pm. Don and Tom were courteous, clean, and professional. They ascertained I had a service contract with a competing heating and air conditioning company and signed me up for a free service contract with them should I decide to switch.
Description of Work: They cleaned the air ducts of a two-story town home with two intake vents. I have pets.

Great company. They were a second opinion. They encouraged us to do our own research. The technicians(5+) arrived at 7:15 am and worked to 5:45 pm to install our systems. Company is the most professioal I've worked with. They will return in the warm weather to check our new A/C. They exceeded our expectations on all counts! Definitely at least check with them on price as we got a great deal (with the furnace our A/C, after repeat was 1300. It would have been around 5k if installed alone).
Description of Work: We purchased a new Trane Furnace, A/C unit, Dehumidifyer and air cleaner.

We noticed within a day or two that the sink continued to leak and the odor had returned. We called another plumbing company that diagnosed the problem immediately. The garbage disposal and its line were faulty and leaking in a couple of places. They repaired it and we have had no more moisture or odor from under the kitchen sink.
Description of Work: We had a slow, odoriferous leak under the kitchen sink that we ourselves could not find the origination to. McCarthy services sent a plumber to help diagnose and fix the problem. After spending several minutes inspecting the area, he couldn't find the problem and suggested that he just tighten up the pipes under the sink.

We had an appointment with McCarthy to do complete Duct cleaning. The appoint was for May 29. We were told they would call 1/2 hour ahead and the time would be 2-4pm. We got a reminder call the day before and they changed the time to between 3 and 5pm. They never called and never showed up. Very disappointed that this service was listed on Angie's List. We pick another service (VA-Z Finest for June 2nd. They called to confirm and never showed up! Is there no reliable Duct Cleaning Service?
Description of Work: No one every showed up to do the work!!!!

All the reps that worked on the inspection and installation were highly professional, efficient and trustworthy. They even came back several days later - in person - to find out if everything was working as expected. Their customer service and quality of work can't be beat!
Description of Work: Inspected my old HVAC system, recommended new system, and installed both heating and A/C the next day. They were very professional, neat, and I felt completely safe having them in my home. On top of that, I received a great deal on the Trane products I purchased. I highly recommend them for HVAC work!
