I have been with Hungerford Heating and Cooling for many years. In the servicing department Monica is attentive, polite and knows who needs to come out to help with your problem and getting you serviced quickly. The young lady who answers the phone Angela, is very polite and knows right where to direct your calls. In the field my service person has been Chuck so I have to call him out here for exceptional service as well. Hungerford has been around many, many years and with this team I've described with their customer service by all, they will continue to be the staple company of mine.
Description of Work: Great Company

The folks at Hungerford were great to work with. The estimator (Andy) can out and was very thorough, professional, honest, and quick to provide a quote. The quote was lower than 2 others that I had.

We have a contract with them so they come out once a year and service both units. I wouldn't use them if I didn't feel comfortable with them. They seem to be pretty much right with everyone else on price. Whenever I call them they are right here.

Description of Work: We used Angie's List to find a new AC services company. We selected Hungerford based on recommendations and on availability of a special price promo. Experience was much better than I could have imagined. I didn't know there were still companies like Hungerford. In 3 words; professionalism, courtesy, and value. 2 weeks after they installed our new upstairs unit, our downstairs unit stopped cooling. I called for help at 9am that morning. They said they would try and work me in that day. I got a call at 1pm from a Hungerford repair pro that had some extra time left over from a job near my address. He stopped by and had our unit repaired by 3pm. Turns out that a recent lightning storm had fried a relay. Very simple and inexpensive fix that my old company would have exploited towards a major repair. Not Hungerford. Hungerford fixed for less than $250 and within 6 hours of calling for help. This is how you earn a loyal Hungerford customer for life! Thanks Angie's List for the introduction, and thanks Hungerford for your business values and caring. Greg & Donna Secrist, Glen Allen, VA

Description of Work: I've used Hungerford for a.c., heat pump and boiler service for about 10 years, always with very good results. In 2014, when I needed to replace the two a.c./heat pump units that came with my house when I bought it in 2003, Hungerford helped me evaluate my needs. After comparing several different companies, prices and service I kept with Hungerford, who installed (and continue to maintain) two Carrier units that have worked very well since then. They also have given excellent service over the years, on a "niche" high-efficiency gas boiler I bought in about 2003 - there were only a few such products on the market then, and the one I bought had quirks. They worked with me and the company when things (twice) went awry, to my satisfaction. In the last two years, and with a second, new control board they replaced under warranty, my boiler has worked flawlessly. Despite those problems, the gas boiler has saved me a ton of money over ten years.

I got free estimates from two providers. Their cost were on top of each other. I went with Hungerford because their installation plan included preventive items that reduce the chance of damage on both the equipment or the house due to negligence. The salesperson, Andy, was patient in explaining the details. He also went back to clean up my house after the crew left. Overall a pleasant experience with this company.

Our heat was not working. (Another provider-family friend, BAD PLAN- had told us we needed a part for our emergency panels, unplugged them, and promptly went to Florida for the past 2 months. We didn't know he was going out of town. We tried to wait it out, but with the stretch of extremely cold weather coming, we broke down and called) Anyway, the tech, Robert, ascertained quickly that there was nothing wrong with the panels. The problem was the thermostat. He replaced it quickly, checked to make sure everything was working properly, and was done! Addressing the concern we had with our panels coming on too frequently in the past, he encouraged us to "just give us a call" if we didn't feel like the thermostat fixed the problem. Again, he did check the panel function before he departed, and determined they were functioning appropriately. Our appointment was originally set for between 10am and 1pm. At 9am, we received a call from the Hungerford Dispatcher, asking if we would like the tech to come on ahead. Since we both have to work, we were delighted to be given this option. I could not be more satisfied. From the initial phone call on 2/12/15 to the departure of the tech, Hungerford was professional and friendly. Highly recommend!
Description of Work: Replaced the thermostat with a Honeywell programmable thermostat.

Andy was very easy to work with, was there when he said he would be, gave a great price. The installers came out and installed the new unit, cleaned everything up and everything worked great. A few months later, we had an issue. He came out with the service manager, did everything he could to get it taken care of as quickly as possible. Turned out it was a design flaw and replaced the part with a newly designed part instead of just a replacement part. Working great.
Description of Work: Replaced a 15 year old A/C unit.

On time....layed down protection on my carpet (not too many service people do this!) Very polite, hard working servicemen.
Description of Work: This company had been working on one of our heat pumps. Finally decided it had to be replaced. They were extremely professional. Called us back immediately when needed, explained in detail why and how the work would be completed. They were always on time with their house calls. Servicemen were extremely polite and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company. Friends of ours have also dealt with Hungerford and were also very satisfied with their service.

Over the years my service experience with Hungerford has been excellent, with very few exceptions. In installing the Munchkin Heater mentioned above, while it was clear that the Hungerford service people were relatively unfamiliar with this relatively new product, installation went smoothly. The only exception -- the pipes venting across the cellar to the outside were not as carefully installed as the Heater, and caused minor, annoying problems over two winters with some leaking condensate. (I was told some years later that Hungerford used to subcontract that part of the job but no longer does so.) Hungerford was quick, as always, to fix the problem, but in this case it was a somewhat messy "fix," with some of the fluid sealant landing on my cellar's tile floor. I have enjoyed prompt, pleasant and professional service from Hungerford, including the ever-cheerful Willy, who schedules work, Andrew, and others, all of whom have always been responsive, appearing as needed to coax my balky Munchkin back to life. Hungerford people have also spent time on the phone advocating for me with the (out of state) Munchkin company, and have given me a much-appreciated break on some costs. It's true that unexpected repairs may have canceled out some of my cost savings on fuel (which have been awesome--I spent $840 on gas in 2011 with the thermostat @ 68 during the day and 64 at night, and this year it's tracking even lower. ). I'm still sold on high efficiency furnaces, & when I replace the Munchkin I'll still look to high efficiency natural gas for my heating needs.
Description of Work: (The cost quoted is for a Munchkin high efficiency natural gas Heater (purchase and installation), but not for annual maintenance/service contracts for the Heater or for two heat pump/air conditioning units that Hungerford also services.) Services performed: 1. Routine maintenance, usually annual, on two older Carrier heat pump/air conditioning units, used mostly for air conditioning. 2. Installation and annual maintenance on a Munchkin Heater (e.g., "furnace."). I live in an older frame house with old insulation, a slate roof, 19 windows, and poorly-fitted storm windows. When my old furnace died in 2004 thanks to tropical storm Gaston and 3 feet of water in my cellar, Hungerford installed and now provides maintenance for a natural gas high efficiency Munchkin brand Heater. Hungerford has kept my two heat pump/air conditioning units and my Munchkin Heater working since 2004 and my fuel costs low. The Munchkin has been problematic. When "Gaston" took out my ancient gas furnace & I told Hungerford I wanted high-efficiency natural gas furnace, they researched, recommended & installed the Munchkin before many better-known companies were offering similarly efficient products. When working well it is outstanding, but it is balky, occasionally quitting, and I have had to replace its electronic controller twice. Fortunately, the second time was within the warranty period. I recently checked the web, & bloggers were full of stories about this model Heater's problems. It is no longer in production. Regrettably, I didn't know that in 2004, and neither did Hungerford. Hungerford has run interference in obtaining necessary parts, has always been prompt and reliable when called, and has always been able to fix it. Not counting my annual maintenance contracts, Munchkin repairs over eight years have cost me about $850, mostly thanks to having to pay for one of the two new controllers.

Good. From the inital service man to the sales rep to the installation crew, all were polite and knowledgable. The installation took longer than I had anticipated but they were very apologetic. I wanted to go with a company that had been around for a while and had a good warranty. I think I got what I asked for.
Description of Work: I had them come out initially to look at my AC unit which wasn't working properly. The repair man was there a little early before I got home from work but waited for me. He was very polite and thorough. He seemed genuinely bummed to tell me he couldn't fix my 14 year old system but attempted to refill it with coolant to help as much as possible. He referred me to the sales guy who was very friendly and willing to come out including evening hours. Gave me an honest estimate and I felt like he was a straight shooter. They came out two days later to replace the system. Everything is working well and my new AC is ice cold :-)
