Terrific service and competitive pricing! Wes quickly diagnosed the issue with my AC and ordered the new motor. He is kind and patient, answering all of my questions and advising me on general AC upkeep. He returned a day early to install the new motor and cool air started flowing on a 90 degree day. 😁 And, the best part, the bill was $200 less than the estimate. 😁😁😁 I have found my new Cooling & Heating company in Dave's!
Description of Work: my AC wasn't blowing cool air.

The plumber and his assistant performed the job quickly, and as promised. They actually came in UNDER the amount I was quoted, which was a pleasant surprise. The site was left clean, and everything works great two years later. I've also used Dave's for repairs to my furnace, and routine maintenance. I've always been pleased with their services, and would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I needed a hot water tank moved to a different location in my house. This involved rerouting water lines under the house in a very tight crawlspace.

I use Dave's because of their responsiveness and their very nice and pleasant repairmen (Wes especially). I have used them for years. $95 of the expense was for "diagnostics" for lighting the pilot light and looking at the toilet problems (2 minutes total to do that). I've used them for years and they just keep getting more and more expensive.
Description of Work: Lit pilot light on hot water furnace; replaced several flush parts in toilet; replaced fan/light in bathroom (I bought fixture separately).

To be honest, when I first called them, Dave was a little surly on the phone but he was honest and fair and after a few questions, we set up an appointment to replace my water heater. His son showed up, on time, but due to the way my original water heater had been installed, I had given them some bad information. This meant that they had the wrong water heater on the truck. A quick phone call and Dave showed up, with the right water heater and work continued. I had asked them to reinstall a water faucet in the garage, next to the water heater and while it sounds like it should have been a very simple procedure, it turns out that there were some complications which made the process difficult, with some trial and error. Bottom line, when it was all said and done, they were very fair in charging me as they had two, professionals, in my garage, for a few hours but I was only charged for the work that was done and not the time that I spent socializing with Dave and discussing his beautiful, vintage Camaro. All of that said, I would highly recommend Dave's and would use them again! And hey, if you are a car enthusiast, convince him to show you a few pictures of his Camaro! She is STUNNING!

We called Dave's Heating and Cooling when our furnace starting acting up. Naturally, the heater stopped working on a snowy day, so we called Dave and he sent someone out the same day. The technician, Bill, realized the problem was that the chamber inside the furnace was broken, so he cleaned it out, restarted the furnace, and ordered a new chamber for us. The new materials came in within a few days, and was installed. My husband is thoroughly interested in all things mechanical, and held the flashlight for for Bill the entire service call. The tech didn't mind my husband's company, which is a plus. Cost was appropriate; service was friendly, prompt, and well done.
Description of Work: Cleared out cracked combustion chamber in furnace, and installed new chamber and gaskets.

I had a great experience with Dave's Cooling Heating and Plumbing Inc. He was very responsive. I got another quote and his quote was less than half of what the other one was. I was a little nervous about the quality of work because of how low his quote was, but he even did more than what the other company was going to do. Everything has been going great with my furnace since then. I don't think he could do anything to improve on the service. He did a great job.
Description of Work: They fixed my furnace by making it easier to put a filter in it and repaired some duct work in my basement.

Early the next morning a tech came out and permanently repaired the problem. The furnace was seriously overheating so by Dave coming out to mitigate the problem overnight, it prevented what could have been a serious issue. I have used this company a number of times in the past decade or so and they have always been reliable and the employees a Early the next morning a tech came out and permanently repaired the problem. re thoughtful, friendly and responsive to my questions and concerns. They are not cheap, but they are good!

I've used Dave's since 2002 and have always been very satisfied with the service provided. I have my regular maintenance contract with these folks for my three-zone cooling and heating systems. I've also had one of my cooling/heating units replaced by Dave. In every case the work has been properly done, the appointment is always kept, and the prices reasonable. I would recommend Dave's cooling and heating service to anyone needing plumbing or heating and cooling services.

Dave was very punctual but extremely judgmental, declaring that the company that installed the heat pump had given me the wrong size. I then confronted the company that did the installation. They told me about a Manual J calculation on what an area's heating/cooling needs are. I did lots of online research. Basically Dave was using a heuristic (something like 1 tonne of capacity for every 600 sq ft of space) that went the way of the dinosaurs. The installation company was right.
Description of Work: I wanted a second opinion on whether my heat pump was the right size for my house.

Response from Dave's Cooling Heating & Plumbing Inc.
I was called to your home for a problem with central air conditioner that ran constantly.After inspecting your system,I found that the duct work in the attic was poorly installed.I then questioned the size of the system and you provided me an invoice stating that the contractor was supposed to install a 3.5 ton system. The contractor only installed a 3 ton system, Remember?? You got taken by the first contractor,you should of called me first. D.Young

He did great work. He went straight to work and did everything. He was honest. My uncle recommended to me because he used to be a plumber. He charged an excellent price. He did exactly what I needed. My water bill dropped tremendously because of all the work that he did. He was here when he said that he would be. He would be the first person that I would call.

Dave is a very nice man. He always makes sure everything works right before he leaves. In the winter time, if the furnace does not work, he comes right away and gets it on for us. He gives estimates on things before we buy something from him. He is true to his quote; he does not charge more than what he quotes. He is very professional and very polite.

Overall, service was average. They fulfilled basic service request. We have used this company in the past, but this time we were very disappointed in actual customer service. They did not show up on time or call to let us know they were going to be late. Work was carried out, but the gentleman was not too friendly and seemed more intent on selling and installing new equipment. At that point in time, we were expecting a houseful of guests so didn't have the time to do that and couldn't cover the costs involved in purchasing new faucet and toilet. It was felt that the overall charges were expensive in connection to the work done. The company would not guarantee the work as the faucet needed to be replaced. The work on the faucet did not last and it was leaking by the end of the day. However, I can not complain as the company did state that the faucet's housing was shot.
Description of Work: Bathroom faucet leak (handle would not turn off the water), the water cutoff valve under sink leaked and toilet flapper leaked.

My experience was pretty good. All I complained with them really was that they didn't clean up as well as I had expected. The pipe in the basement was old and rotted out. It was from ancient days and it was time for it to go. I don't have sewage in my basement. The guy was very responsive. He came within a day of when he could be here. His timeliness was good. He was very polite and I was satisfied with the fix. His price was pretty good. He's an okay guy. He's got a decent job, but I did give him a couple of reminders on things.

They were very polite, clean, and courteous. When they came in the house they used shoe covers to keep from tracking anything in. They always have swept and cleaned up after themselves. I had a water leak from the hot water tank spraying into the hallway. I called them out on Sunday, Father’s Day. They came over, cut off the water, which let me access the bathroom. They promptly sent someone the next morning to finish it. They are also bonded.
