Houston Central Humidifier Installation

Doctor Cool and Professor Heat were a little more expensive than others, but definitely worth it. I just felt more confident in them and the way they diagnosed the problem. They took their time and did an all around professional job.

We started working with Mission early in the summer when our almost 20 year old system was not cooling the house. A technician added Freon, and we made it through the worst of the summer. In September, our old unit suddenly stopped cooling. I called Mission right before closing time, and Jose was able to get out to our house in an hour. We needed a new capacitor, which he had on the truck. The house was cool again after dinner. A few weeks later the system shut down again after we set the thermostat too low, causing it to work too hard and overheat. Although Jose got it going again, we knew it was time for a new system. David Lewis (the owner) and I had a long talk about Ruud vs. Trane. David answered my questions patiently. Jose came over with some literature and sat at the table explaining various aspects of each brand to my husband and me. He took careful measurements of the very small closet where the system had to go and got us on the schedule for the upcoming weekend. On Saturday morning Brent and Carolyn arrived to install the system. David and Jose came by to go over the final details of how to fit it into the closet. Because of potential flooding in our neighborhood, our compressor has to be raised several feet off the ground. David was not happy with the platform that our old compressor was sitting on. He gave instructions to Carolyn and Brent to build a new platform to his specifications. The new platform is a work of art. It blends in with our house and even garnered compliments from the city inspector. Getting the new Trane system into the closet was an arduous task. At first Brent did not think it was going to fit. I was sure that sheetrock would have to be cut in the ceiling, but in the end the unit fit perfectly, and we even had room to put a media air filter below it without any need for sheetrock work or even touch up painting. A humidifier was installed (for winter), and the thermostat was replaced with a new, state-of-the-art touchscreen thermostat that controls the temperature and humidity. The new system is a thousand times better than the old one. It is very quiet and much more efficient. The old system was either blowing cold (or hot) air out full blast or not at all. This Trane system has infinitely variable speeds thanks to the DC motor in the compressor so once the house is cool (or warm) it drops to a lower speed to keep the temperature more constant without the "full on-full off" pattern of older systems. We have had a lot of contractors work on this house in the 25 years we have lived here. Our interaction and communication with Mission was the best we have ever had with a company. Choosing Mission was a great decision.

Comfort Star was head and shoulders above the 5 other companies from which I obtained quotes. Some simply said it could not be done the way we wanted it in our 1940, not built for AC house. A contractor built out the AC closet making it impossible to use the original media filter Comfort Star installed. Habib continued to work at it until he found a filter system that would work. The upstairs air conditioner was not functioning properly. Habib found the problems and corrected them repaired them including rerunning the ducts so more of my attic was usable. I highly recommend Comfort Star and Habib Khoury, the owner.

SASpecialties is the most amazing HVAC company I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Bobby Adams is a rock star. I requested a very unusual service for Houston--installation of a humidifier. I called 5 other companies but no one else would even look at it. In fact, SAS had never installed this in Houston before but they were undeviating in their commitment to assist me. SAS researched, installed, and then came back 4 separate times to work on unexpected issues that occurred with the system. They were immediate in their responses, competent in their assessments, and outstanding in their customer service. The office staff knew my name and the service could not possibly have been better. There is no better HVAC service provider in Houston--using anyone else is simply a mistake, and I could not recommend them more fervently.

I have gone to Air Rite a number of times to get advice and for cleaning and updating parts on my whole-home humidifier. They are knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. Their inventory spans a broad spectrum and they can order any part that they do not have in stock.

He was unsure of why the ducts were dripping water through the house. We called previously for an inspection and found a pun leak in the coils, that was replaced previously and the part was covered by American Standard. This problem ended up being some sort of part on the furnace that pulls moisture out of the system. It was replaced and seems to be working ok. We will have hundreds of dollars in sheet rock repair due to the excess condensation.

They arrived on time, owner came with technician as we had used this company to install an entire new system with de-humidifier when we lived in the Woodlands 3 years ago. Owner inspected the entire system. Technician went over all concerns with me that could cause problems down the road. Wore shoe covers in the house, asked if there were any questions and charged the amount quoted over the phone.

I had purchased a big deal for the service. They are fabulous, the one man who came should be a professor, he explained things to me, and he did what he had to do. He has been promoted, and another man came and he was just as good. They are on time, and they explain what is happening and why it happened. I would use them at the drop of anything. I just wanted them to go through my electrical stuff and teach me how to run the fans and to fix some things. Their price was really reasonable. We didn't have any air conditioning in one of the units upstairs. They were fast, I wanted them to come immediately because I didn't have air conditioning in one of the upstairs and I had guests coming.

Fresh Air-Weinrich Htg. & Clg services twice in a year spring and fall. They always give good service for the people below their business and are quite helpful.

Met is the best, most professional plumbing company I have ever dealt with. They are prompt, polite and their workmanship is impeccable as is their clean-up after the work is completed. David Ducic was my technician and is excellent. They are not cheap, but I tried cheap and MET had to redo cheap's work.
