went very well. We had previously paid another local heating and air conditioning company to do a fall inspection. At that timie this "other" company told me that there were problems with the heat exchanger and that the unit was in immediate need of replacement. In fact the service technician went so far as to shut off our furnace. I called Professional for a 2nd opinion and the technician informed us that yes, our furnace was old, but that this furnace had so many safety measures that the unit would just shut itself off rather than cause a fire or a carbon monoxide leak. He assured us that this furnace was fine to operate.
Description of Work: Inspect furnace after initial opinion from another service company.

Technician arrived promply after our phone call to the office. Our first frustration was the fact that we had just had the carpets cleaned that morning, my wife told the tech about the carpets but he was unprepared and didn't have slip-on shoe covers or offer to take his work boots off. The tech took a look at our unit, made a comment about how old the unit was and proceded to inform her that freon for this age of AC was $80+ a unit. When she asked how many units it might require, he responed that it might take 9 - 10. All of this before he even put a guage on the unit. He then mentioned that we could get a new unit for just over 2k. After hearing how much it could conceibably cost to recharge the unit my wife instructed him to simply check the level and we would get back with them. I'm not writing this review because of the shoes on the clean carpet. It's not the tech's desire to upsell us to a new unit that I'm sure we're on the verge of needing. It's the fact that not only we're we charged a service charge of approx $75, he charged us for a 'small repair' of $45 for hooking up the guages to check the freon. It's funny that the three other companies I called after we received this invoice ALL stated that checking the freon level was part of the service call. When my wife called the office to asking about the validity of the additional charges when the tech had done nothing, she was told that the service call doesn't cover anything other than showing up.
Description of Work: Called to have a technician diagnose a poorly performing AC unit.

In July 2012 we paid another company to disconnect the PHAC unit and install one that worked. We were told by the company that the unit PHAC had installed had been overfilled with coolant forcing it to shut down. That made sense since the pressure valve was broken by PHAC technicians in the process of attempting to install the PHAC unit, spraying coolant over the siding of our home causing permanent stains. The wire PHAC said was bad worked just fine for Robinson Heating and Cooling technicians. How much I spent is based on only part of the most ridiculous experience I have EVER had with any business. The cost keeps going up with every threat they send out. As indicated, it is an approximation of how much we spent - not including the cost of replacing our siding and any new attorney's fees we may incur. That number continues to go up as they continue to send threats because they don't like what I have to say about my experience. It isn't defamation when it is the truth. They say it is being vindictive. I say it is the truth of my ongoing nightmare with PHAC. I believe the purpose of the site is for people to share their experiences - all of them - not just the "good" ones. They were not very worried about their reputation when they were "working" with us, and we had been their customers for several years prior to this nightmare. We paid Robertson Heating and Cooling to install a new unit and everything from the first phone call on was smooth and professional. I highly recommend Robinson Heating and Cooling, they did a great job with my mother's new A/C unit over the same hot summer. In mid-July we finally had air conditioning - THANK YOU ROBINSON HEATING AND COOLING!!!
Description of Work: We purchased an air conditioner and installation for our 20 year old home in New Franken, Wisconsin from PHAC. The new air conditioner did not run for more than 2 minutes at a time; PHAC said it was because of bad wiring in our home; We were told they had to cut a hole in our ceiling so PHAC could replace the wire, but only after many other problems with the install their office manager called a TRAIN WRECK. After roughly twelve hours at our home with several TECHNICIANS, the unit did not run for more than a few minutes before shutting off. At the end of the day, and three separate trips back to our home to resolve the problem, I was told TWO TIMES by PHAC technician "I WILL TAKE A SLEDGE HAMMER TO YOUR CEILING TO FINISH THIS JOB." The next day I asked THE OFFICE MANAGER that the installer who threatened to take a sledge hammer to our home not be sent back to our home, and that the unit they left at our home be replaced with one that was not damaged before or during installation. I was told THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION....SAME INSTALLER WOULD BE OUT ONE DAY LATER IN THE WEEK AND AFTER 5PM ON HIS OWN TIME....WE WOULD HAVE TO HELP FINISH THE WORK. I did not like her solution and she told me I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WANT, THAT IS THE WAY IT IS GOING TO BE. I was shocked by her (ML) response and I asked that they come and remove the unit, and I would stop payment on the check we had issued to them the day before. I was told they would take us to court. The next day we received threatening correspondence from their lawyer. I would never pay full price for a car that was damaged while being transported to a dealer, and the same is true for any other item I buy. I don't want something that required repairs before I actually get to use it. So I don't think it is at all unreasonable to expect that I would not have an A/C unit left at my house that required repairs including welding before it ever functioned on site. I also will not let someone back in my home who makes threatening statements. Within days after I asked PHAC office manager to replace the damaged/repaired unit and to send a different technician - both of which were refused, we had a letter from their lawyers. I called a few days later and asked for a return call so we could make arrangements acceptable to me, or that they remove the unit and we go our separate ways. Instead of a phone call from PHAC, we received another letter from their lawyer. They filed a claim in small claims court, we went to court in September 2012 and the court commissioner stated that it was a complicated situation and his brain was scrambled after the packers game the night before - so he needed time to think about his decision. Two weeks later he ruled that we pay for a portion of the unit and that they remove it from our property, we paid additional fees and attorney fees for our lawyer.

Response from Professional Heating & Air Conditioning
On June 6, 2012 Professional Heating and A/C responded to a no cooling call from long time customers. After the servicing technician explained to the homeowner that the cost of repairs on their 20 year old air conditioner would exceed the value of the unit, the homeowner decided to install a new central air conditioning unit. The customer (husband) was home during the installation on Monday, June 11, 2012. (Delete this sentence)The customer was not at home that day. On or about 12:00 pm the installer called the office to indicate he was having a problem with one of the service valves for the air conditioner. The service manager was dispatched to the job site to install a brand new service valve on the condensing unit. (A service valve is a port where HVAC technicians connect their gauges to adjust/check the refrigerant charge on air conditioning units. The service valve has no impact on the efficiency or operation of the air conditioner.) At 3:00 pm, upon completion of the job, the customer handed my technicians a check for payment in full and thanked them. The homeowner called the office just before 4:00 pm stating that he was outside and noticed that the air conditioner was turning on/off continually. The service manager returned to the home at 4:30 pm and verified the above. He then took readings on the low voltage wiring and found there to be a short. Complicating the situation is the fact that the wires were buried in a sheetrock ceiling with no access to them. The technician was able to pull around 6' of the low voltage wire out and did find a bare spot. He repaired that section and started the unit. Unfortunately replacing this small section did not correct the wiring issue. The homeowner decided that he preferred to remove the ceiling himself, as he acknowledged in court, and would do so that same night. When this was complete, the customer was to call so that Professional Heating and A/C could return. The customer (wife) called at 8:00 am on June 12, 2012 and immediately requested that we remove the air conditioner. She indicated that she was going to cancel the check if we did not provide her with a brand new unit. She also stated that the bad service valve was unacceptable to her. It was explained to her that the manufacturer would not authorize a brand new unit due to a bad service valve. This falls under the 10 year part warranty. After several attempts to work with the homeowners outside of court, we were left no choice but to file a small claims suit. When presented with all of the facts, the commissioner awarded Professional Heating and Air Conditioning 100% of the installation plus court costs and attorney fees. It was determined that the customers "breached the contract by placing the stop payment on the check." It was also revealed and acknowledged in court by the homeowners, that when a third party replaced the wire and bled the lines the unit operated as expected. Therefore the court also determined there was no material defect. One final note, this customer put this review on Angie's List November 3, 2012 months AFTER the installation but within three weeks of the satisfaction of judgment. Some of her statements are gross inaccuracies and she goes as far as to demean the integrity of the Commissioner. We did not at any time threaten the customer, however, repeated attempts were made through her attorney to correct the false statements that she continues to make. As this customer continues to stand by her misrepresentations, I feel compelled to provide factual information that can be verified through public record.
