Their team was excellent and even had their expert wiring tech to come out to ensure that the complicated wiring was done correctly. They took the time to show me how to use the Wi Fi thermostat.

Eanes Heating And Air Conditioning

The date of November 1 is approximate. I called EANES HVAC to have a new humidifier added to the house. I don't remember the tech's name. He showed up 5 minutes early for a 12:30 appointment. My wife talked with him. He seemed agitated that I was not there 5 minutes early. He said he had to be in Winston for an estimate at 1:00pm and he didn't have much time. This told me he was already not taking my job seriously. He scheduled another appointment in Winston very close to mine. When I arrived at 12:27pm, I told him I wanted a Aprilaire Bypass humidifier as the primary house humidifier and a Skuttle steam humidifier as a secondary humidifier. The controls and operation of both were completely separate. The Skuttle was already installed but was not wired correctly. He threw his hands up in the air and said he could not help me. Even when pressed, he refused to explain why he could not help me. I can certainly understand if someone decides not to work for me. I totally get that. No problem. But to not even give me an explaination, that really p***** me off. I called the guy's boss, someone named "John". He waited three(3) hours until 5:15pm then decided to call me at my work number, after I went home for the day. Dissed again! I am not sure why EANES has such high Angie's List ratings. My guess is they have family and friends give BS ratings. I was less than thrilled. Be wary

They are timely and prompt with appointments and their rates are comparable. Good service. Cost is for two units with humidifiers.

It went great. I was very pleased and satisfied with them. The workmen were great. They were very efficient. He also sent a form to me to get the right-off on my taxes. I didn't have to do anything.

They were in and out in two days, efficient, helpful, fast and did a great job! It is not cheap, but if it works as planned, it is worth it to solve the moisture problem that plague many homes!

Central Carolina Air Conditioning

We were contracted with Central Carolina for 9 years. In the summer of 2004 (6th year of contract) we called to report a buzzing noise from the attic. A day or 2 later, they replaced a transformer in the attic unit. The buzzing noise began almost immediately after he said it was fixed and had installed a new transformer. I caught him outside right before he left and SAID the buzzing started again. He went back in the attic and said that it is NOT the transformer, but something wrong with the humidifier. I actually had no idea there was a humidifier. At that point, I asked what we should do? He said we could replace it or just turn it off. I told him to turn it off in the long run it should have been disassembled.) We thought we had a humidifier that was not functioning properly. They continued to service us with the annual contract. Between 2004 to 2007, I started to develop hives and rashes as well as sinus congestion on a regular business. My husband had reoccurring sinus infection and overwhelming fatigue for both of us that gradually became worse. The fall of 2006 we realized something serious was wrong because we started noticing an unusual odor in the house. I developed and continued an increased nauseous and vomiting feeling. My husband also suffered a mild heart attack during this period as well. March of 2007 a technician came to renew our contract for that following year and to do the spring preventative maintenance. I told him what had been going on with us and our home. I mentioned that my husband and I were quite ill and I thought something in our house was making us sick. I asked him if he thought we should add any additional filtration to our system or anything he could think of to help the air quality in our house. He told us he would first check out some things. He went to the attic. A few moments (less than 10 min) he came down with a 5 x 15 in inch filter 1/2 inch thick loaded with mold. Black and other colors, but lots and lots of black. The technician showed it to me and also reported that the first 6 feet of our duct work looked the same as our filter. When I looked at the filter I noticed there was mold. The tech said that he wasn't supposed to use the term "mold", but he conquered that it was. In regards to the humidifier and mold in connection with the A/C, I didn't understand why he found the mold filter in the humidifier because it had been turned off in 2004. He told us that just because the humidifier had been turned off, all air was still flowing through the humidifier vents. He dis-attached the humidifier and taped it up. He also told me a man named Jerry would come the next day to talk to us about replacing the system or anything else he could do. Tech said his hands were tied. I did not want Jerry to come out and talk about a new unit because I was so blown away that this had happened and didn't trust the company anymore. After all the years of services and trusting this company no one ever looked

We've had multiple years of experience with him. We've been using him since about 2008 and we've always been extremely pleased with his work. He is very much the consummate professional. He's very reliable, we've even had a few times where we were in a pinch, going out of town, we had a problem with one of our units and he was able to talk my husband through it on the phone, we were getting ready to go out of town for 3 weeks. I couldn't tell you the improvement not only with my allergies but the heating and cooling throughout our house, about 4100 square feet. He took care of all of it. He's always willing to come back if there is a problem. He comes once a year to check the system. For replacing our system, he wasn't the cheapest in town but the service you get after that is very really reasonable. He will come out and service the system, the routine check is about $70. If he says he'll be here at 1 o'clock he'll be here. I'm a believer you get what you pay for and we never ever pick the cheapest people in town. The quality we expect for what we were going to embark upon he was reasonable. It was not an inexpensive thing to have done. I would not dream of calling anyone else

The entire company was polite and efficient. The work was performed very close to the time frame they promise, and the system is working well. I had to call them back one time for a connection that lost it electrical connection and they can out and repaired it very fast. As part of their customer satisfaction program, the check back to see how the system is perofrming. They've made a couple of those calls already

Overall, it went OK, I guess. They did a so-so job for HVAC work for this area (NC). Regardless, this is Kernersville, which I think is a higher standard. I believe I paid more overall and expected more in return. POSITIVE: They were typically agreeable to work with. The duct work was OK overall. They put white goop on the duct seams, which I had never seen done before. This makes it more air tight. They did a good job overall in cutting wholes through the floor for the vents. NEGATIVE: Instead of using expanding insulated sleeves for the duct work, they used regular insulation and duct tape. They thought they did a good job, but in some places the tape and insulation came undone within two weeks. A sleeve would not become untaped, there is no tape. One place where they cut a whole through the floor, they had to snake the duct work to twist around. If they had just moved the floor vent a few feet one way, this would not have been necessary. For one new supply duct, my guess is that they ran out of metal duct, so to make what they had work, they repositioned my dryer duct. I thought this was dangerous. The metal dryer duct work was already a 25 foot +/- run to the outside. Dryer lint is a major source of house fires. I did not want any kinks in my dryer duct work to cause a house fire. My house has a crawl space. Where they installed a floor vent in the far side of the crawl space, they threw the wooden pieces of the cut flooring in an obscure corner and left it. I thought this was lazy and unprofessional. They thought I would never see it. Guess what, I saw it. Upon my request and with my initial refusal of payment, they did fix most of my issues except for the biggest one. The biggest problem I had with them was that I specifically asked them to wire my Skuttle Steam humidifier to NOT control the furnace blower. They failed. It was wired differently at least twice but this still did NOT fix the problem. They could have used a mechanical sail as a switching mechanism but they refused or couldn't figure it out. Their final solution was to lower the humidifier setting so it would not engage the furnace blower, thinking I would not notice it until I paid them their money. Sometimes in the winter my house blower runs for DAYS because the humidifer keeps it activated. Jason pressured me into paying All Year before I was satisfied with the work they did. He made me feel like I was a skum bag, like I was not going to pay them or I was asking too much for giving me what I requested. After the fact, I learned that both Honeywell and Aprilaire humidier models allow homeowners the choice of 1). Having the humidifier control the furnace blower until the humidity levels rises sufficiently (ACTIVE) or 2). Requiring the furnace blower to be active AND the humidistat to be engaged to activate the humidifier (PASSIVE). This was NOT available with the Skuttle Steam humidifier. I would NOT use All Year again, at least until they fix my problem. I am currently seeking someone else to upgrade my Skuttle Steam humidifer to use a sail switch and 240v model AND to use an Aprilaire bypass humidifer to be the primary humidier, that has a switch mechanism allowing it to NOT control the blower

The guy shows up 15 minutes early for a 12:30 appointment and is agitated because I am not there, because he has scheduled a 1:00PM appointment in Winston-Salem, 20 minutes away. He is getting angry at me for poor planning on his part. Regardless, I get to my house before 12:30. I describe that I want a Steam Humidifier added to my HVAC system and he flat out says he is not interested, which is fine. I ask for a reason why, and he says I would not understand. I press him but he flat out refuses and takes off in a hurry. Eanes did not want to bother with a small fish like me. I was so angry I called the guy's supervisor. I believe his name was John. He does not bother to call me back until after 5:15PM, after I have gone home for the day. Disrespected by both contacts of EANES. Insult on top of Insult. If he and/or Eanes is not interested in my business, that is fine, but don't waste my time. If you want a company to do HVAC work for you, do NOT call EANES. If you want a company to waste your time and disrespect you, call EANES

We needed a new furnace and air conditioning system for our 3100 sq. ft house. McBane Brown was recommended to us by a neighbor who owns a large engineering consulting company and who had used them to install a new furnace and duct work to his house. He said they did very good work for a fair price. McBane Brown came and listened to our concerns, made a thorough inspection and then came back to us with their recommendations and price in writing. They needed to move the furnace to another location from where the old one had been. They were here day-in and day-out for several weeks, but we were never inconvenienced in any way. We are very happy with the results and the professionalism and know-how of this company. I have had to call them a few times for various problems, and they always come right away and stay until the problem is resolved. We also have a service contract with them. I would recommend McBane Brown to anyone

I have been using them at least for the past 10 years. I pay them on a yearly basis. What I like about them is that they give you a major discount on any parts if anything has to be fixed and change the filters for free if you have an annual contract with them. They have an emergency service too, and you don't have to pay them anything extra if you have to call them after hours or anything like that because you are part of that service. Some people might say that they are a bit pricey but they are very professional and come when they say they are going to come. You get what you pay for. They wear booties and take very good care when they are inside your house. They have a division to come out and give you the estimate and they have people to come out and do the work. They are very professional and very responsive. They are really good people. I had them come out to give me an estimate for possibly putting in a humidifier in my house. My house is on the second floor and I have gas heating, and it is not that they didn't want to sell me a unit, but they couldn't feasibly put a unit in when there was no room, and they wouldn't put it on the second floor because of any possible leaking problems. The best thing for me was to just purchase an individual unit from somewhere. They are a very responsible company and weren't going to risk doing any damage to the house with water on the second floor, plus there was no room to put it. So, they weren't going to sell me something that I couldn't need or use and I appreciate that. There are not a lot of companies that will do that and they will try and somehow get it to fit into your system

I live in an upscale neighborhood and the job was not difficult. Tech showed up 10 minutes early for estimate to have a steam humidifier installed on home HVAC system. My wife said he seemed agitated. He had to be in Winston in 40 minutes and he was annoyed I was not there 10 minutes early. I showed up exactly on time, explained what I wanted, and even before we went to job site, he said he was not interested. I said fair enough, but at least tell me why. He flat out refused to say why he was not interested. It was a total waste of my time. Eanes HVAC does NOT deserve a good rating on Angie's List or anywhere else. I am happy for them that they can turn away customers without even hearing them out. This made me so angry, I called the guy's boss. The guy's boss did not bother to return my call until after I went home for the day. This added insult to injury and just made matters worse. I felt totally disrespected. You want to be blown off more than once, give EANES a call. You want HVAC work done, call someone else

The company servicemen arrived at the scheduled time to evaluate a 4 foot section of duct work that was rusted due to a faulty whole house humidifier. Upon inspection of the duct work, they determined that only a 4 foot section needed replacement and suggested that I not replace the humidifier with the same type of unit originally installed (I have hardwood floors so a humidifier is a must). Instead, it was suggested that the newer steam humidifier would not cause the duct damage the older unit caused. I received a call within a couple of hours from the service department with a price for the duct work and humidifier which I accepted and the work was performed the next day. The professionalism and courtesy of the entire Mitchell Heating & Air staff made my experience quite easy and enjoyable. I would certainly recommend this company to anyone requiring heating and air service
