They're great. They also have the maintenance contract on the system. When we moved into the house they were the people servicing it and we decided that we would continue to use them. We got a choice to get a new furnace because it was quieter and they also did some duct work. They were wonderful. For this area where we live, the price was comparable to another local company and even considering the quality of the unit I think it was right on target.
Description of Work: We got a new furnace. It was a brand new furnace installation. It was a high efficiency.

We had our ancient oil-fired boiler replaced with a natural gas, modern unit and separate hot water heater. On the one hand, it seemed like anything that could go wrong, did go wrong. On the other, we are very happy with the end result. The reason for my excellent rating is that this company responded to all of the issues quickly and decently. When a water leak under the house and another issue caused us to be without water (and hot water) for a night, they sent us to a hotel and paid for it. The owner, Andy Anderson, is a stand up guy. The (many!) extra pieces of work that had to be done (some possibly caused by the workers, but equally possibly due to old piping in a 96 year old house) were done at no extra cost to us, because he stands by his company, the quality of work, and cares about his company's reputation. If one guy didn't know how to do something, another was sent to deal with it, and make it right. Andy saw to the final check personally, which meant a lot to us- the end result is a perfectly functioning boiler and hot water heater. We would highly recommend this company and we are very happy.

Everything turned out well in the end. They had a few problems on the way but they fixed them. We’ve had them out for different things like the furnace, air conditioning and things like that. The main problem this time was, it wasn’t the same person that came out each time. One person made a mistake and then someone else had to come out and fix it. The person who made the mistake should have noticed they were doing something wrong. I don’t know if they were less experienced or if they didn’t pay attention or what it was. When we called and said there was a problem, they did get it corrected. They sent out somebody I guess with more experience and he took care of it. Overall I’m happy and would use them again. They did our furnace several years ago. I haven’t called or compared their prices to anyone. I have talked to friends who have had similar things done and they said the price is probably about right. It wasn’t a very professional way to did it though. I would use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: We used Riverside Heating & Air Conditioning. We used their services this morning. We had our air conditioning repaired.

Description of Work: I purchased a new furnace the summer of 2008. That winter the furnace made a loud noise whenever it went on. I was told by the technician it was probably because the unit was new and it would clear up. Summer came and went - of course the furnace was not in use. The following winter the same noise occurred. I called to have it repaired. The technician said the unit was new and there was no charge. A few weeks later I received a bill for $45.00. I called to question the bill and I was told the warranty was expired and therefore I had to pay the $45.00 for the service. I argued that the unit was defective from the beginning to no avail. I payed the $45.00. The representative who telephoned to make an appointment for the semi-annual check left a message on my answering machine. I found her tone very sharp demanding. I opted to change my heating/cooling service company.

Andy came out personally and inspected the unit then he made recommendations and gave us an estimate. We chose to have the repairs v. a replacement and it has held up beautifully. He told us who he would be sending to make the repairs and when; and they were right on time and very professional.

I am extremely satisfied with the cooling unit and do not regret using Riverside Heating & Air Conditioning to service my heating and cooling needs.
Description of Work: Riverside Heating & Air Conditioning evaluated my heating and air units in the home I had recently purchased. They gave the units a thorough inspection and explained the results in terms I could understand. I was offered a reasonably priced contract that I accepted. When my air conditioning unit broke down (it was 20 years old) I called on Andy to give me an estimate to replace it. He did not send a salesman but came personally and explained the different units. From his explanation I was able to decide which unit was best for my home and pocketbook. Andy explained that he could also replace my furnace, which was just as old as the cooling unit, but did not pressure me into making the additional purchase. His workmen were courteous and professional. They removed the old unit and installed the new one in a timely manner. No deposit was required and no money changed hands until the job was finished and I was satisfied. My contract was honored and my furnace was checked six months after I signed the maintenance agreement. I've had two problems with the old furnace and called Riverside. They sent a technician over almost immediately and fixed the unit. The charges were minimal as per the agreement. Now that I've decided to replace the old furnace I did not hesitate to call Andy and was given the usual courteous, informative treatment and explanation by his technician, Ron. I was given an explanation of what was needed, given enough information to decided exactly what was best for my home. I see no need to look to any other heating & air company to service my needs. Riverside Heating & Air Conditioning are the best.

AC unit developed a leak. Riverside charged $85 for an initial service call and said we needed a leak test. They came back and charged $135 for the leak test. They then determined we needed a new coil. The coil was under warranty, but they wanted $575 to install it. Enough of that. We went to one of their competitors and they obtained the part under warranty and did the install for $249.50. I have the maintenance records for the home and went back over the four year period since it was built: 2003, replaced compressor on heat pump. 2004, the heat pump lost freon and needed to have a leak test done. 2006, This problem with the AC unit. I recommend people shop around before contacting this company for any service.
Description of Work: Bought a four year old house in which Riverside had installed all HVAC (one AC unit, one heat pump, one furnace). The AC unit evaporator coil developed a leak and needed to be replaced.
