Description of Work: Jeff from Hillstead did a very thorough job of estimating the cost of installing a new furnace and AC. He was honest and easy to understand. The installers were very professional and did a great job. They cleaned up the site and made sure we understood how the thermostat worked and showed us the furnace and AC and allowed us to answer questions before they left. We are very happy with the furnace so far.

Description of Work: When the company who installed our boiler/hot water system would not return our out calls, I contacted Hillestad to check a leak in my boiler room. The Hillestad tech checked for possible causes and after testing found there was a defect in the hot water tank. The system was just one year old so we attempted again to contact the installer concerning the warranty but again with no return call. Hillestad was able to process the warranty claim for the equipment and they were back to do the installation a few days later. Not only did they fix the problem, but they also made some improvements to the overall installation so that any testing/troubleshooting in the future would be much easier to do. The guys on the job were very courteous and explained everything they did. I also thought the labor charges were very reasonable.

Description of Work: I needed to have my central air conditioning checked because it was slow to cool my house, and he could find nothing wrong. when I asked if the outside compressor was clean he tol me it was fine. Three weeks later, during a very hot spell, it quit altogether. when I called them back, they sent someone else out, who said the coils were filthy, used my hose to clean it, and did not charge me.

+ -1 moreIt went well. The Madison sales man, Jeff was courteous, knowledgeable and reasonable. The installation crew came on time and were courteous, laid down sheets for the floor, worked straight through to get the work done and communicated with us about issues they ran into and other items such as future maintenance. Received a follow up call from the sales rep a few days later to make sure everything was going just fine with the new furnace.
Description of Work: Replaced 25 year old gas, forced air furnace with new Bryant furnace. Included them taking away the old furnace, installing a new humidifier, condensate pump, thermostat, and all the piping needed for venting and plumbing.

+ -1 moreI was watching this older house, my neighbor's, while they were out of town for a week. Temps shot down to -20 degrees and the water would no longer run from the faucets. We called several other plumbers or heating people, and when they came they just threw their hands up in despair about all of the obstacles in accessing the heating lines. The Hillestad worker, named Phil, came and immediately got to work, replacing many parts of the heating lines which had frozen and had been broken. He understood perfectly the heating system and what needed to be done. He was extremely nice and polite, and so very very competent!! I don't know what the bill was, as this has not yet been sent, and again, this was a neighbor's house.
Description of Work: Pipes all over house had frozen due to extreme cold in Jan., '08. Pipes were in danger of bursting and spilling water all over the house. There were many obstacles to being able to access these pipes. The person who came, Phil, skillfully got the pipes unfrozen and replaced a number of small parts which were no longer reliable.

+ -1 moreWe hadn't actually agreed on a specific time, but they came first thing in the morning on the agreed-upon day. They had coordinated the delivery of the water heater and the arrival of the hauling/ installation people very well. The installer worked very quickly, was friendly, and did a very nice job cleaning up. Hillestad also did a good job making sense of the Frankenstein-ish pipework in our basement, consolidating pipes where needed (the home is very old and shows some signs of do-it-yourself plumbing).
Description of Work: Our water heater was corroded and leaking. Hillestad removed the old one and hauled it away, and delivered and installed a new one.

+ -1 moreJeff was very good! We had solicited bids from 6 contractors overall and he was the second best. (We opted to go with a Trane XV95 instead because we were able to get it (with rebates) for the price of what we could get the Bryant 355). He said that he doesnt always suggest the highest efficiency furnace for spaces (looks at overall heating effectiveness and cost savings). He was extremely helpful, very clear and easy to understand. He said that the Central AC unit we had was just fine (a Trane from 1989). He had the same situation personally and didnt change his older one when he replaced his furnace. However, he did provide a quote on several models. Once they received an accepted proposal, it would take c. 1 week for installation by a crew of two. Jeff is one of nine owners and thirty employees. They have 9 crews for installation. The owners also have been known to install and conduct service calls. They sell primarily Bryant and Carrier.
Description of Work: We solicited a bid for a high-efficiency gas furnace to replace our 37-year old unit (we moved in 4 years ago). The bid was for a Bryant 355 along with an Aprilaire 2200 high efficiency air cleaner, a digital programmable thermostat and an evolution system humidifier (Bryant). Estimate $3450.

Description of Work: I use Hillestad yearly for the check on our boiler. Just today I had to call them cause we had no heat in the house. They came within 1 hour of my phone call and fixed a malfunctioning switch.
