Armstrong Mechanical Services Inc
Emailed Daniel Armstrong that I had purchased the Big Deal and he responded right away. He explained that he wanted to come out and see my current system to make sure the unit and coils would work in my home before I was charged by Angie's List. He arrived on time, was courtneous, dressed neatly, took detailed measurements, asked questions and determined that everything would work. We scheduled the installation day, but I had to cancel and he rescheduled right away. Daniel and a co-worker arrived on time and the installation went smoothly and efficiently. I was able to work on a computer in another room the entire time. The job was completed several hours early and everything was clean and neat. Fantastic experience

James River Air Conditioning Company
We were replacing a gas furnace and a central air conditioner with a heat pump system and asked for bids from three companies. The quotes we received were all within a few hundred dollars of each other. However, the James River representative had shown us that, due to manufacturer rebates, they would be installing significantly more efficient equipment that we could get elsewhere. The sales representative from James River, Frank Mergler, was exceptionally well-informed about the available technology, the principles of home heating and cooling, and the current status of various rebates, government incentives and tax credits. In fact, he told us about some credits and rebates which were never even mentioned by the other companies. In addition, he had the installation crew perform some minor "tweaks" to our system to ensure that we would get the best possible results from our new equipment. We were also very favorably impressed by the installer, Scott, and a plumber, Chris (who was there to give us an estimate on some other work.) Both of them were very efficient, hard-working, knowledgeable, able to clearly answer any of our questions, and considerate of the cleanliness of our home. Overall, we had an "A+" experience with James River Air

Durham and Sons Inc
Our 13 year old air conditioner died and we purchased a replacement from Durham and Sons. We got 4 estimates from different providers. RJ's estimate fell in the middle. We chose him based on the product he was offering, the price, the Angie's list reviews, the fact that he was willing to come out to see us in the evening so that we didn't have to take time off of work, and the fact that he was the only person who came out for the estimate who actually crawled around in the attic to take a look at the ductwork and pointed out that our dryer vent was no longer connected to the roof and was spreading lint all over the attic (a fire hazard). -- We had him fix that too. It took 4 full days to complete the installation because we had to move the whole system over by a foot which meant rebuilding the plenum and the box on which it sat. I appreciated that they loaned us a window a/c unit since it would have been miserably hot in the house without it. The job they did was beautiful. Even the FPL guy who came to inspect the duct work said it was the "prettiest" box he'd ever seen. Everything was neat and tidy and professionally done. And the Trane system we chose works great. I was very pleased with the the whole thing. It was rather expensive but I suspect there isn't much one can do about that unless you buy a piece of junk. The ethernet wiring job was an add on that we threw in figuring that we already had people in the attic anyway, we might as well run the wires too. It was a bit of a challenge because the wires originated in a room which had been added on to the house so there was no attic and the wires had to be run over the original concrete block exterior wall. But with the conduit they installed, we'll be able to run new wires if necessary in the future and now my TVs (and xbox) have a direct connection to the router. I felt that the wiring cost was a bit high but the job was well done

The compressor in the old unit died and definitely needed to be replaced. Danny clearly explained the cost-benefit options of replacing the whole system versus paying for the costly replacement compressor with a limited warranty. We also needed to consider what type of refrigerant the old system had (R-22) since it is being phased out in favor of a more efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant, R410A. It would have been more costly in the long term to continue servicing the old system with out-of-date refrigerant. The warranty on the new system is 10 years versus a one year warranty on the replacement compressor. We are extremely satisfied with the new system because it cools the house much better and it is less costly to operate (more efficient). Thank you Danny for the excellent customer service and support

I have used them before and they are very knowledgeable. They were able to come in and fix what another electrical company couldn t fix. They also charged us a fair price for the work that they did.

W G Speeks Inc
I had an emergency with my air conditioner. I called them in the morning and they came out at noon. The part that held all the wire in my air conditioner had fallen down somewhere. They told me to turn off my air conditioning unit and I turned it off. They did not cut the wires but fixed it. They were very good and quick. They were a little pricy. They always called twenty minutes to let me know before they got in

AHMED BROTHERS HEATING & AC
We had these guys come out and clean our AC because it had a funny odor. The first time they came out, they did an okay job, but the smell was back within days. The second time they came back, we had to stand on top if them to really clean -- they "missed" the fact that the drip pan was full of water and had organic material growing in it. Upon closer inspection, we realized there was no drain hole that allowed the water to escape (hence the mold and funky smell). They agreed to come out the next day and drill the hole (it really is that easy of a fix). When we called again today -- two days later -- they said they didn't know anything about the need to drill the hole. We're not impressed and would encourage folks to think twice before hiring them

AirRight responded very quickly when the first floor central AC unit went out in the summer heat. The scheduler was very courteous and professional, as was the repairman. We were impressed enough that we signed a service contract with these folks.

Universal Heating Air Conditioning and Plumbing
Were cheapest priced, and were very prompt and professional. Had been recommended to them by two different people independently, both of whom couldn't say enough good things about them. The a/c system works great, and when we considering what to install, they actually talked me out of purchasing a more expensive system from them. They were also extremely diligent in trying not to damage anything and cleaning up after themselves. In addition, have had my heating repaired by them, and again. When we were evaluating what to repair, they actually talked me out of replacing it, and repairing it instead. This to me is the sign of a good company that is up front and honest

They did a nice job dealing with the home warranty company and getting our A/C fixed as quickly as they could during a very hot spell.

I am satisfied with their services. I have a contract with them. I pay them once, and it covers the maintenance check on the boiler and air conditioner. One person comes out and it takes maybe an hour.

They came out right away. Our air conditioner was dying in the heat, it's 15 years old, and he looked at it and said it doesn't look pretty but it works well. And he said that he wouldn't recommend replacing it because it works well.

I am very pleased with their service. They came very quickly and they were rather fair. They were prompt and have good quality of workers. They found the problem right away as the air wasn't flowing from that unit. They fixed it immediately and it works great now. The price was a little high but they did the work good

They did an excellent job. They were on-time, professional, personable, cleaned up well after themselves and came back the next day to make sure everything was done correctly. He also indicated he would come back in the Fall to maintain the unit.

Our air conditioner stopped working. We were informed by a large national company that the unit needed to be replaced. We were given a quote between 13 and $18,000. We sought a second opinion from short pump heating and air. Josh quickly determined the problem and had our unit working for a fraction of the cost

I had my appointment with Mr. Harmond W. on May 07, 2022. It was rather easy to set up appointments and the site makes it rather easy to reschedule (which I've had to do). Mr. Harmond W. was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I've read great reviews about his appointments on here. We pinpointed the problem by process of elimination. For my particular model (Whirlpool) he's seen the common water leak issue I was experiencing. Oftentimes, filter housings need to be replaced. Mr. Harmond W. just confirmed my observation and I am glad I may now rectify the issue. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Harmond W. sent me the exact part needed via email . One may shop around at different retailers to purchase the part. Neli also sells appliance OEM parts as well by partnering with other companies. I will be going with another retailer/seller since the price was much lower with a good return policy and a protection plan option as well. For $35, one can't beat that. A diagnostic evaluation alone may range from $150 and up. I was able to pinpoint the problem and order the part. I won't be arranging for an appointment to self-install. One has to know where to draw the line. I will hire someone once I have the part in hand. I already have someone in mind, also referred by Angi. Luckily, I didn't have to do any thing too cumbersome. I gained some handy tools at well. I really liked using the nutdriver vs a screwdriver. So I've added all the necessary tools I need for the appointment to my collection, and they will be handy in the future. Overall this was an optimal experience and I would certainly refer and use Neli in the future. If you are confident in unscrewing/re-screwing, and removing parts of your appliance, I'd say give it a try. NOTE: Also understand that this an all virtual service. An appliance repair professional doesn't not come to your home at no point in time. Neli offers self- diagnostic guidance to determine the issue with your appliances. Neli sends you the part number. You purchase it, and then may opt to make another appointment to install the part. If the task is too difficult, then you may opt to hire an appliance repair professional. It's up to you to decide. Please read and understand your referrals before posting comments and discrediting businesses

They were able to fix my older unit where a lot of other places were unable to do so. The first guy that came out was pretty new in the field and was not too knowledgeable of working with the older units so they immediately sent someone that knew more about my unit and did not charge a penny more. I think that speaks for itself

As good as it gets. After assessing the project and giving and estimate, the project was completed entirely in one day, despite a couple unforeseen conditions. The installer was professional, thorough, and very fair. I could not be happier with the quality and value I received.

The team of Michael, Darnell and Tony did an excellent job. I was really impressed with how Michael, the lead person, notified me of when they would arrive ( over 3 days of work) and kept me informed of the job’s progress. Michael represented JES very well with his professionalism. I highly recommend JES for their work

I have used All Around Home Air for over 5 years. They have performed repairs on my one aging HVAC system and installed a new one. The new installed system had manufacturer problems but AAHA spent many hours working with me and even got the manufacturer rep to come out and replace/fix the defective unit - just great service! Will use All Around Home Air every time

What do customers in Richmond say about Central AC Repairs?
Larry is so good he doesn't even have to advertise and has tons of work, but was able to work me in without any problem. ! My neighbor highly recommended him, but I got estimates from three of the big HVAC businessed first, and then Larry. I was leery at first of having just one person do the work, but oh, my goodness, I couldn't be happier. His estimate was very competitive and I even upgraded the gas furnace to a 95 percent rating. Some of the bigger companies prices were close to Larry's, but that was after deducting spring specials etc. While it's nice to think you were getting a big savings I wondered if the prices were inflated to begin with. His warranties were inline with the others and there was no push to sign up for maintenance packages -- the equipment and the workmanship stand on their own. Because he did all the work himself I was assured that everything was done thoroughly and right. He has his name and standards to live up to and you can't go wrong with him or the equipment he installs. He's a wonderful person and will address your needs with care and concern.
