The old furnace had stopped creating heat. Upon inspection, they showed me the combustion chamber was pitted from condensation and this allowed the heat to escape before being blown through the system. After reviewing several options, I settled on a Rheme, which unfortunately was no longer in stock. Bel Red offered the higher efficiency unit as a replacement but for the cost of the original unit I had requested. They then came in, removed the old furnace, put in a condensation drain, and installed the new furnace. Their service was exemplary and greatly appreciated. The warmth from the new furnace was phenomenal and showed that the old unit had been disintegrating for some time. Bel Red also followed through with a walk through and set the blower to process the entire house efficiently. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is in need of a new furnace, and will maintain contact for annual check-ups of the system.
Description of Work: The old furnace was inspected and it was determined that the combustion chamber was leaking heat through excessive pitting in the walls. The inspector reviewed several new furnace units handled with Bel Red and the prices of each. After consideration, and reviewing the units on line, I picked the 80 percent efficient, with the eventual thought of adding a heat pump into the system. The order was drawn up and the install window picked during this time. On the day of the install, the team arrived on time and neatly dressed. They then reviewed the installation requirements, including a new drain for condensation, and a new vent going to the roof. The initial step was to remove the old furnace, which required piecing it out in order to handle tight quarters and odd angles. The base requirements were then installed or modified (drain, vent,and any electrical and/or gas hookups), the new unit installed, and then tested after installation.

It went very well. We would call them again if we need this kind of work again.
Description of Work: We needed an emergency repair on a 16 year old furnace in a rental property. Bel Red was the only company, of nine that we called, that would send out a technician the same day that we called (new year's eve), instead of offering us only an expensive emergency service option after hours. This was a great service. After discussing the costs of repair vs replacement, replacement options, now vs later, we decided to replace the furnace. We dealt with repair and home assessment techs, installers and office personnel. Everyone was very friendly and professional, and we felt that we got a fair price on the furnace. They sent a technician out a couple of days later to make sure everything had been working properly.

When I initially contacted Bel Red Energy, there representatives were professional, attentive, and efficient. I was able to set-up the appointment within the week versus another company which told me that I couldn't get an appointment for approximately three weeks. Bel Red gave me a window between 2-5 to expect one of their service techs. On the day of the appointment, the service tech., Dalen Philp, arrived shortly after 2 and began to inquire about the problem I was having with my HVAC system. I was appreciative that Dalen was able to arrive at the beginning of the appointment window and after a few quick questions, he was able to get a good reference point to begin his diagnosis. Dalen then did some further investigation and gave me a report of his findings before beginning his work to resolve my heating issue. He gave me his recommendations on how to fix the problem which was the replacement of a fuse; moreover, he also alerted me to some other issues he came across during his investigation, one of which was a code/safety concern. His explanations were clear and thorough utilizing photos to ensure I understood his findings. Dalen answered all of my questions and began the work to remedy my heating situation saving me time and money where he could. I authorized him to address the other issues which were a gap in the filter to furnace transition and an improper gas pipe connection. In the end, Dalen's work has resolved my heating problem and my house is comfortable and warm again. Dalen also took a quick look at some other concerns I had before leaving, and gave me his assessment of causes as well as suggestions to fix these other issues. I am very pleased at the level of service I received from Bel Red Energy Solutions and their representatives. They met or exceeded my expectations in every category and although they were not the cheapest HVAC service, they were well worth the money and I will undoubtedly use and recommend their services in the future.
Description of Work: I initially contacted Bel Red Energy Solutions to investigate a problem I was having with a thermostat. I had replaced the faulty thermostat, however, I wasn't getting any response from my furnace when I attempted to engage the heat. This lead me to wonder if the problem might be more extensive which is when I decided to bring-in a professional.

They are wonderful! Everyone is very well qualified. We could not believe the service we got for the price we paid.
Description of Work: We purchased a furnace humidifier from them in the past. They more recently did an energy audit which showed a number of things that needed repaired. They arranged for a number of things to be fixed including insulation. They have also installed our hot water heater and do regular manitance on our units. We have been using them for years.

The repairs went well but there was a squeak after they finished and the furnace shuddered a lot. They sent Adam back out and he diagnosed the sheet metal expanding and contracting. He added some bracing free of charge and the problem was solved.

My store is typed above.
Description of Work: I called Bel Red to come service my 10 year old furnace before cold weather set in. The repairman said I needed a new furnace, but he could probably keep it running for about $1700. I had heard the Bel Red repairmen work on commission, and I was leary of this report. I paid him $150 for the service call and sent him on his way. I tried to turn on the furnace, and it would not work. I then called another provider. That repairman said that wiring to the blower had been manually disconnected and not hooked back up. He hooked them up and my furnace ran perfectly. He could find no issues with the furnace, no repairs and certainly, a new furnace was not needed. I firmly believe that as a single, older lady (with a mercedes sitting in the garage within eyesight of the repairman), I was taken advantage of. Shameful display of greed by this repairman, and Bel Red will never get my business again. I had used them last year, at which time I was told I needed a new igniter, which I paid for. When they came back to install it, the cost was $300-400 more than the estimate they had given me. I complained to management, but got no answers. It was just the way it was and they would not adjust my bill. And, then this year, they tried to get the cost of a whole new furnace out of me. I will report this to the Better Business Bureau.

The service was to clean our never ending hot water heater and to clean all of our drains. The hot water heater required extra, expensive additional parts which would make it easier to flush the system in the future. These were added efficiently and although Steve did not have the required parts, they were delivered to him quickly.
Description of Work: Steve H. was our service rep. He was prompt, courteous, diligent, and noticed and corrected things that were nice to have done that went beyond the service requirement. All work was thoroughly checked, recommendations were made for preventative maintenance, and everything was completed in a timely manner. We have used this company for many years and have never been disappointed.

i then suggested, because he didn't have any answers, to remove the pipe from above the floor and replace it with a 1.5'' shorter pipe. he said he could do that. when he removed the pipe he said he'd check his truck for a shorter one. he didn't have one and asked where the closest store was. i gave him directions to lowes a few miles away. when he returned he said that this work would be $210 plus the $97. My stove was being installed the following day, i had no other choice than to agree. The professional thing to do at this point is to have BelRed return all my monies and apologize for sending out an untrained, unqualified technician without the proper tools. The dispatcher needs to listen to the customer.
Description of Work: I sent out 5 emails to 5 companies that work on natural gas lines. BelRed answered first. I set up an appointment telling them exactly what needed to be done. I'm replacing my stove and i need the gas line coming up through the floor shortened by 1.5 inches. Your tech will need to bring a pipe cutter and treader. The dispatch person said that would be $96.00 for an analysis of what work needed done. I explained again what needed doing and that for the $96.00 i expected the work i said to be done for that price. The tech showed up on time without a pipe cutter or threader. He said we don't have those tools, he called a plumber on his team, they didn't have those tools.

Karl C from Bel Red Energy Solutions performed the preventative maintenance on my furnace. Two weeks later, he did troubleshooting and repair of my gas fireplace, and it looks and performs like new. I had previously paid another company to do the same service, and the work was unsatisfactory. Karl did a thorough job of researching the problems and fixing them in a timely, efficient manner. The fireplace works like brand new ~ it's great! I really appreciate his honesty approach and will definitely turn to Bel Red for my future furnace and fireplace repair needs.pre

I was very impressed with how professional and neat the crew was. They took extra pains to clean up the space afterwards and walked me through what they were going to do and did an inspection with me afterwards. I especially appreciated their help and reminders in the permitting and inspection process since we are new homeowners. The inspector noted several items of the new water heater when above and beyond code and material requirements and we have been very happy with our new installation and replacement venting system. The second crew that came to service the furnace were satisfactory and I got a deal on that add-on service. Though they did try to sell me on additional maintenance services.

We've used Bel-Red Energy Solutions for years, first for servicing an old furnace, and now for a new one. We had them install a new furnace system about 2 years ago. We received bids from multiple places, and they had the best price. However, what really sets them apart is that they stand behind their products and provide great customer service. They have come out no charge multiple times to fix some issues with our furnace. They are great about following up to schedule appointments. Very friendly and professional. I'd definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: Serviced old furnace for a few years; installed brand new furnace and air filtration system several years ago. Made multiple service calls since then for one tune-up and to replace some parts that were under warranty (preventative maintenance recommended by them).

Karl was prompt and cheerful at 0700. He answered all my questions and got right to work with the furnace and heat pump servicing. He was careful to always put on booties in the house, and I hardly ever heard the door open and close as he went in and out. He was finished in two hours, my questions were answered, and I learned even more about my heating and air conditioning systems. I really appreciate Be Red for their professional and happy technicians, their ability to schedule appointments around my schedule, and the relatively low cost of service. The oil added $199 to this year's cost, and adding the heat pump two years ago added to the yearly maintenance cost. The annual cost of my furnace-only tune, previously, was about $135; Now it is about $100 more, including tax. Bel Red calls me each year at the same time to schedule my annual appointmet. I know some people have their heating systems serviced infrequently - or never - but I believe the life of the unit is extended by doing annual maintenance, just like a car.
Description of Work: Karl arrived at exactly 0700 for my annual furnace and heat pump maintenance. I had asked for an early appointment because of schedule conflicts. Seven AM appointments are one of many reasons I like Bel-Red. Karl checked, cleaned and adjusted both my furnace and heat pump. He answered innumberable questions about how to minimize noise from my heat pump ( he said it was already "crazy quiet"). He added a heavier grade oil to it to quiet it even more and protect the motor. He took my payment for next year's service, which gives me a service discount.

Bel Red called to remind me of my annual service, and scheduled one of their senior technicians to do the job, since I had questions about the heat pump. Karl arrived exactly at 7AM, as I had requested, answered all my questions, made suggestions, and quickly and efficiently completed the service. This required him to be in and out of the house several times. He always put on booties when he came in, to protect my hardwood floors. It was obvious that Karl enjoyed his job and the opportunity to answer my questions. The service was completed in two hours. All of the techs from Bel Red have shown this same professionalism, and I would highly recommend this company. They may not be the least expensive, but they are very knowledgeable and stanThe service was completed in two hoursd behind their work 100%, and that is worth any additional cost.
Description of Work: I had my annual furnace/heat pump maintenance done. Karl also added a heavier oil to the heat pump system, at his suggestion, to extend the life of the unit and dampen noise. The oil added an additional $199 to the normal cost of service. I have the heat/air system checked annually, prepay for the next year, and receive a 10% discount on service by prepaying. Bel Red has been servicing my furnace for many years. They replaced a 34 year old furnace 12 years ago, and installed a heat pump two years ago.

Our furnace broke down four years ago and we've been using them ever since. They were very professional and knew exactly what was wrong. They are familiar with the furnace. We actually needed a part so they ordered that, came out and replaced that very quickly. The part was an order for a couple of weeks. They also did the yearly maintenance on the furnace and air conditioning. They found the part, we had to pay for the part and then they installed it.

I've had yearly maintenance from Bel Red for 14 years and I've always been satisfied with the prompt and courteous service that I've received. However, I never had anything stop working until that Friday. I won't consider a and quot;Band quot; rating as good anymore in Angies list because I would have considered them an and quot;Aand quot; myself with the yearly maintenance but then they REALLY REALLY SOCK it to you when they replace anything. Good service should be rewarded with increased cost but when we get to 150% to 300% more than the going rate it's just gets ridiculous. I know definitely that the water heater replacement quoted as $2500 is about 150% above anyone else estimate. I've heard from several people now that they've had entire new gas furnaces (yes - Trane furnaces like mine) for less than what was charged to me so I believe they charged me about 300% more than the going rate. Even though they threw in and quot;free maintenanceand quot; for next year, I will not avail myself of that offer. I dont' trust them now. From now on, I will read the comments from people for these companies because if I just looked at the and quot;Band quot; rating I wouldn't know that they charge 1-3 times more than their competitors.
Description of Work: They removed, cleaned and resealed a new inducer motor ($694). They replaced the high temp limit ($357). ECM Motor Module ($828). A few days before the yearly maintenace the furnace stops working. They sent someone out earlier than the scheduled maintenance to work on it which I appreciate. However, then I discover by talking to colleagues and reading the comments on this page, that they charge over 150% to 300% more than anyone else. Yes - they should be courteous and prompt but even so my GOD!!!!! Besides the price, the only thing the guy did wrong on Friday was forget to light or check the water heater. I thought that it would just take time to reheat the water but it was still off Monday. Tuesday they came in and relit the water heater pilot light. Even though this was something they forgot to check, the tech tried to tell me that this was completely separate from the incident that occurred Friday with the heater but I was pretty angry by then and he backed off. He told me the water heater had to be replaced and it would be $2500. I had it replaced for $1025. I called in 3 estimates and they were all around $1000 to $1,100.

We’re sorry to hear that you did not feel that we provided you with exceptional value based solely on what you were charged. While most of our customers see great value on the service we provide and the quality of our work, others are more concerned about price; we can not be all things to all people. Your furnace required extensive repairs, and we recommended that you replace it rather than repair it. You declined to even get a quote from us (or anyone else) for that replacement, and instead you chose to repair your system. Those repairs also included a circuit board as well as the items you listed. As for the price quoted for your water heater, we typically find our prices are higher than many discount water heater specialists, as we: • Obtain all required permits • Use licensed plumbers as required by state law (unlike most tank replacement companies) • Complete all installations to current code including installation of thermostatic mixing valves, properly sized and pressurized expansion tanks, earthquake straps, new stands, new double-walled venting, new pressure relief valves and any re-routing of drain lines as needed. We also check and adjust household water pressure as needed. • Only sell high-quality tanks, not low-quality builder grade or big-box models • Use brass parts and fittings instead of cheaper materials • Provide a 5-year labor guarantee on every tank we sell AND a lifetime workmanship warranty All of these things can make our water tank installations more expensive than discount providers you can find, but the safety, quality, and peace-of-mind they provide are worth it to our customers. As for the problem with your pilot light, it unrelated to your original call, but in an effort to ensure your satisfaction, not only did we not charge you to come back and light it, we provided you with a free maintenance service to boot. We’re sorry if you choose not to accept it, but apparently there is nothing we could do for you at that point. While you can always find someone who will do work cheaper than we will, you will not find anyone who will do it better, or stand behind it as well. We’re sorry that you do not see the value in that type of commitment to quality and service, and we wish you all the best with whomever you chose to work with.

I had the ignitor on my gas furnace that needed to be replaced. My wife called Bel Red Energy Solutions. They came to the house within a few hours. The tech was very polite and professional. I had an argument over pricing with the company. The company called me and offered some resolution, which I accepted.
