Description of Work: Nick's is awesome. We had problems with our a.c. in the spring but got the unit running before the service call. Nick's techs came out and looked at the unit. They noticed the unit was still under warranty but noted some key parts might need to be replaced during the season. They ordered the new parts under warranty and held them. Sure enough late in the season the unit stopped working. Nick's came out with the parts and was able to fix the unit for a very reasonable rate. I have never known of another a.c. repair company that has acted so keenly in the interest of the customer. Additionally the repair people were professional and fast. Thanks Nick!

So they responded after several weeks of trying to get them over to our home. They checked out the unit filled it with Freon and they told me there was a leak on one of the lines on the outside. They said that it appeared to them that the A/C unit had slightly moved and potentially caused the line to mess up and that voided my warranty. I told them I was unaware of such thing, and he said I probably hit it with the lawn mower or something, mind you we have had some crazy weather and have had high winds do to some thunderstorms, and they were not fully secure just sitting on some platform with no hooks or any type of screws or anything. apparently Nick was the guy I was speaking to and he said that he would have to charge me $1400 to empty the Freon and test the line, I was shocked because the purchase was only done about 9 months ago and $10k+ was spent. I couldn't believe that he was going to charge me or wanted to charge me for something that was fully under warranty. So at that point I remembered I had a home warranty and told them that I would go through my home warranty instead. So I used my home warranty and when the service guy came out, I explained to him my situation, he immediately went over to where the leak was and saw that there was a leak and simply just tightened up the bolt and filled it with Freon and within 5 minutes of him getting there, my unit was up and operating with no leaks whatsoever. its been 4 days now and still no issues. I feel as though Nick's heating and cooling failed me all around, the fact that I had a warranty they were never in a hurry to come service me because they new they weren't making any money, and then when they finally came they made an issue to somehow say my warranty was void so they would no longer be obligated by it, and then wanted to charge me some ridiculous price for something that didn't need to be done. I m very unhappy and wanted to spread the news.
Description of Work: I purchased my home in October2014 , and the people that I bought the home with had hiredNicks heating and Cooling to install 2 A/C units which was done in August of 2014. It came with a 10 year warranty, 1 year labor 5 year parts etc. This was one of the incentives for me purchasing this hiomeMy upstairs unit was not throwing out cold air, so I called them and explained that I had a warranty and provided them the information and they said they were very familiar with my house. They said they would try and come out within 2 days, nothing. Tried again, well needless to say we called 4 times over 3 weeks and on the last attempt we needed actual date and time.

It was up and running in less than an hour. Super friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable, I went ahead and had Nick's work up a quote for replacement of my system to be done after the cooling season. I highly recommend Nick and his team.
Description of Work: Nick personally responded to my need for a/c service for my 13 year old system on a Saturday when the temperature was over 90 degrees. He did not charge any premium for a Saturday call (this is awesome) I was certain I was in need of a new system, but hopeful we could band aid it for another month or so. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had the part to make the repair on his truck. He kept me informed each step of the way and looked over the system to ensure that was the only issue at the time.

They said that they're absolutely glad that I called because there was a particular part in there that was vibrating. It was smart that I called them. They were very professional. I thought they weren't coming until the next day which was okay with me. They showed up just within a few hours of the request that I made. They're always prompt. They give me 100%. When they came out to initially give me an estimate to replace my unit, Nick actually went in the crawlspace to look around. He looked at the model number of the old unit. He was very thorough. He came back outside and saw my outside unit. He gave me two estimates on two products that he carried. He always treated me with respect with my questions. Every question that I asked was important. He just wanted to answer to the best of my ability so that I would understand. He was local and that's the other thing I really liked.
Description of Work: I went with Nick's Heating & Cooling. It was for a warranty service. He's done my unit in March. When I would turn it on, I noticed a vibration in there. When they came out, they went ahead and serviced my unit. I asked them to do a Freon check and they did that. I had another time that they came out to double-check something for me.

Description of Work: Our outside air conditioning unit stopped working, the fan still functioned. I called Nick's, they came the same day. There is a $95 service call fee, standard for this area. The technician went to work immediately, flushed the system, removed "clog" problem, waited afterwards to be certain the problem was solved. We paid for his knowledge/ability to detect and fix the unit. From beginning to end of visit was approx. 45 mins. Happy, cool. |

Quick, responsive, thorough, and professional. Ran out of parts on the truck and had scheduled for them to come back the following week, so far a no show on the return visit, need to give them a call. Also a bit on the expensive side for non-emergency services, but to be honest I needed 7lbs of gas to be added to my system and have not yet compared the cost per lb with market average, so they may be near or on the mark. Local company and nice guys so I still like to support.

I called them at a time when it seems everyone's AC units were not functioning due to a hot spell. Most service providers said they couldn't get to me for at least 5 days, if they even returned my call. Even Nick's said that it would be several days, but that they would try to squeeze me in. Within about 1.5 days, they were there and everything was fixed! I have an older system, so I was waiting for them to tell me I needed a new unit (I have rental properties and this is usually what happens - people don't want to fix my problems, just install new units). I found this service on Angie's List and am very happy with the outcome so far!
Description of Work: Recharged the air conditioner for our upper level and replaced some electrical part that wasn't functioning.

After discovering a puddle in our basement and determining it was coming from the furnace condensate drain, we called Nick's to come and take a look. They were prompt and courteous and easy to deal with. Nick took his time and examined everything, flushed out the clogged pipes and refitted new pipes where necessary. He only charged the initial service fee that was quoted over the phone when we made the appointment. About a week later we discovered the same thing had happened with our attic unit. Nick came back out and did the same thing all over again in our attic and didn't charge us a dime. We're very pleased with him and his company!

Very impressed with how thorough Nick's crew was. They made several recommendations for components that were out of tolerance and found a freon leak. I called my home warranty company (AHS) to fix the problems. The A/C repair company sent out by AHS did not find any of the problems Nick's crew reported. I called Nick to ask if his crew could have made a mistake. Nick personally came out and went over each component. He showed me the coil did have a leak (with a detector), and the capacitors were way out of spec. I'm now trying to contact my warranty company to resolve. I do trust Nick's competency and professionalism and will be calling him to do the repairs if I can't get AHS to cover it.

Nick even included complete duct cleaning in one of the houses. On the first house, my electric bill dropped by over $100/month. On this last house, I have yet to see an electric bill over $80/month. Quite incredible.
Description of Work: Nick has done two brand new units in two houses for me. I would never call anyone else. I trust him completely. His prices were very reasonable and went above and beyond what I expected. If you have an Issue with your Heat or A/C, He will find it and fix it correctly the first time.

This past winter, we called Nick's to trouble shoot our furnace. Although busy, Nick himself came with a couple of his employees, and they determined that the water in the line was due to the exhaust line being installed at an incorrect angle (or perhaps it had dropped). Because the unit sits almost in the middle of the basement, there is quite a few feet before the pipe reaches the outside of the house. The team managed to make the fix without causing any drywall damage. They even cleaned up after themselves. They were polite, personable and professional, and we knew we would hire them again. I do not remember what we paid for the repair, but it was below what we expected to have to pay. We wanted to pay more, because we realize they have all got to eat! This spring, we wanted our A/C unit moved to a different side of the house, which required re-routing everything by 50 feet or more. (My guess. I have not measured.) The only thing they did not do was the electrical (as we requested taking care of that through someone else). They were, again, problem-solvers. They made no holes in any of the drywall, yet accomplished this job without any trouble. They were courteous and professional as usual. We thought the cost was very reasonable for the amount of time spent, particularly since included in the price was also a new unit to replace our very old, loud one. The amount I listed as the cost for repair is what I believe is (approximately) the combined total for both repairs. Nick and his team are like your friendly, neighborhood repair team. We trust them completely and consider them friends and allies. Very refreshing for a company we picked randomly from an internet search!
Description of Work: First service call was to determine why our one year old furnace was no longer functioning. (Unit had been installed by another company.) After determining there was a large amount of water in the line, they discovered and resolved the problem. Second call was to install a new A/C unit in a different location than old unit, as the old unit was installed in what we felt was an undesirable location. This meant rerouting everything related to the unit.

Description of Work: Called but went to answering maching, didn't leave message, just called the next company on my list. Nick did call me back, they must have caller ID. He appoligized said he was on the phone with a customer, but I had already hired someone else. Thought that was good business to call and follow up with me tho.

I had called three other "larger" companies and received their quotes, before calling Nick. Two of them charged for coming out and one did not. The one that did not charge was the highest priced at $2100.00. I went on the web to Angies list website and found Nick's company. He was rated high and two of the other were rated low. So I called Nick and he came out on a Saturday and did not charge me for his coming out to look. He took down the info and called back with the quote. His was the lowest. He gave me a date when he could do the repair, and got it done on the day he said. The A/C has been working fine so far. He stands behind his work. I would recommend Nick to family and friends. A job well done.

My heat pump was delivering less performance in both the cooling and heating modes. The unit was installed in 2003 and had no other problems. Contacted Nick to check-out the system. Upon arrival he opened the air handler and quickly located the problem, which was blockage in the fins of the heat exchanger. He showed me the problem and outlined what he would do before taking any action. Upon my approval he evacuated all the refrigerant from the system then removed the heat exchanger. Using a small power washer he cleaned the unit with dish soap (Dawn) and water with the power washer. I did this outside. After rinsing the unit, he used the reverse flow from his shop vacuum to dry the unit before returning it to the air handler. Once all fittings were connected he recharged the unit with new refrigerant. Checked both the heat and cool functions and measured the air flow. In addition he vacuumed all air intakes and completely cleaned the filtration unit. He pointed out that the cause of the problem was inadequate maintenance on the electronic air cleaner which had stopped its function allowing excess material to clog the heat exchanger. He completely cleaned the electronic air cleaner and provided guidance on hoe to check its performance monthly to me. Nick also explained that he used the dish detergent because it would not damage the aluminum fins of the heat exchanger and that Dawn would wash away any material which could cause minute dirt to cling to the heat exchanger as air flowed through it. Nick provided not only expert service, but invaluable tips on how to maintain the operation of my heat pump system for peak performance and to avoid costly repairs.
Description of Work: Repair and cleaning of heat pump air condition air handler. Nick completely removed the seriously clogged heat exchanger and cleaned it with power washer, returned the heat exchanger to the air handler, recharged the refrigerant and checked the entire system. It took about four hours to accomplish this task.
