We have 2 units that are still under warranty. We have been using those guys for 20 years. We know them and they have done good work for us. There is no problem. The pricing is high, but all those guys are high. They are high quality.
Description of Work: It was probably to inspect the system.

My friend called several places and Weathercrafters was the only business that would come out the same day. She told me that the technician was highly professional and courteous and not only were the charges not high ( at least not compared to the area I had recently moved from in Northern Virginia), but they also said they would bill me rather than have my friend pay upfront. I was quite impressed with the overall service and have read all the reviews on Angie's List. Their overall score was a "C" but I know how one or two people with a bad experience – – or at least a perceived bad experience – – can bring down a good rating, and I believe that is the case here. Out of the 12 reviews nine were an "A" and the others a "D". Reading into the text of each review I realize this is company is probably pretty good. I have now contracted with them for a one year's service contract. I will review them at the end of the year. I look forward to it being successful.
Description of Work: I was on vacation in Africa when I received an email from my friend saying that my AC has gone out. Panic! I had two cats sitting at home in the heat. Turns out that the drain was clogged. (Confession – – I had failed to change the filter in a timely manner...)

Service technician complained about having to service attic unit and wanted to refuse to change air filters in the ceiling. He then tracked dirt throughout the house telling me he did not want to get his socks dirty. I called to complain and the owner noted I had complained before,;offered to refund unused portion of annual fee; and invited me to find another supplier. Given his attitude and that of the technician, I have done just that. Will never use this company again.

I am sorry that you had a bad experience with our company. Since your experience we have retrained or service staff in hopes that there would not be a repeat of this. I do remember our conversation and I offered options to help redeem our failures and you agreed to just cut ties. I wish you luck in the future.

Description of Work: I wanted to replace my furnace and central AC. They arrived promptly, listened to my needs and within a day or two provided written estimates for equipment of varying efficiencies. Their prices were among the lowest of the five companies I contacted. In the end I used a different company with which I had had a very positive experience in the past.

Description of Work: WeatherCrafters nursed our old AC unit along for longer than we had any right to expect. I would have been delighted if their price had been competitive to replace it. A class operation.

I am sorry that you had a bad experience with us. After reviewing the call with our service manager, your system was totally out of refrigerant. The high cost is due to the cost of the refrigerant. Our technician was asked to "pump up the system and see what does". We added leak detection dye and desired to return to find the leak in the system. The $83 part that another company installed may or may not have fixed the leak in the system. I hope for your sake that it did. I tell all of my customers that if they feel that they were improperly charged to call me directly and we can discuss the bill or future work needed. Jim Smith Jr. - Vice President

Don't use this company. Just because they are large doesn't mean they can treat people this way. I do not recommend them at all. I called the office back (nice people there!) and let them know that I would NOT be having the work done by their company, but by someone else entirely, and I told them specifically why their tech had cost them this account.
Description of Work: I was told the service call would be $89. The tech who came left a much higher bill ($259.) with my tenant without calling me to okay a higher amount. He spent a lot of time looking at the problem, but did no work at that time. After my tenant informed me he had left, I called the tech to get his findings. He did not call me. My home is only 6 years old and the tech just said my system was trash and needed entirely replaced. I decided to get a second opinion - and it was DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. Very fixable.

Response from Weather Crafters Ltd
I am very sorry that you had a bad experience with us. Our Technician found a bad compressor in your outdoor unit and suggested to your tenant that you may want to consider a replacement system because your existing system uses the outdated R-22 refrigerant and that a replacement compressor would have a short warranty. We never consider a system to be "Trash". Our desire is to find a solution to problems that we find that are reasonable to you and your situation. I just wish that we would have had a chance to talk before you decided to go elsewhere. I have discussed your situation with our service manager and service staff in order to prevent a misunderstanding in the future. I wish that as the Vice-President of the company, you would have asked to speak to me personally. We could have discussed your situation and hopefully found a solution. We may be larger than some companies but I personally oversee any issues that may be troublesome to our customers. I understand that you have found another company that you are satisfied with and are using them. I sincerely wish you luck with them in the future. Jim Smith Jr.-Vice President (GM) Weather Crafters Ltd.

I was away at work while my wife was home. All crew members worked professionally and quickly. All the replaced equipment was taken away and the entire area's were left without damage, all leftover materials were taken away. Everything was left in excellent condition. This provider did exactly everything they said they would do. I reviewed the installation on my arrival and found everything was done to my complete satisfaction, and very professionally done as well. All wire routing and tubing routing all done in a professional manner. Everything was quoted and all costs were within the quotes. All communications were complete and quick. I would hire this provider again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Provider replaced A/C component in my HVAC system which is 15 years old. The HVAC system is located in the attic. They replaced the inside coil and outdoor system.

They are awesome. I've been using them for years. They installed the equipment here. I had a home owner policy and when I had some trouble, I had to go to somebody else who screwed it up and Weather Crafters was able to just forgive me to going to somebody else. They are great. I get priority service.
Description of Work: I have used Weather Crafters. I am on a service contract with them and it gives me a summer check and a winter check.

Weathercrafters installed my hvac systems when we built the house over 30 yrs. ago. I have used them to do all my repair service since then. This time when the heat went out, I called and had to wait 1 day before they could get to me. Fortunately it wasn't too cold and we had the upstairs unit working. This is not the only time they repaired wires in the same area of the unit. This time they replaced it with a heavier duty wire. I wish they could have checked to see if more wires needed replacing when they were here on a previous visit. Overall, I have been very satisfied and will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: repaired burned sequencer wire

Technician arrived on time, explained what he was doing and what the results meant. Most of the cost was for the discontinued R-22 refrigerant, which was very expensive and very low. I doubt that any had been added in the 14-year life of the unit.
Description of Work: Added refrigerant to old A/C unit and performed leak test.
