The last time I used them was at my office in July. They did a fantastic job. Their employees were efficient and they did a good job. They don’t upsell and they fix what needs to be fixed. They make recommendations and I have a service contract with them.
Description of Work: They installed a brand new AC unit.

From start to finish they were very professional and knowledgeable. Rich and Matt helped us in deciding which model to get, where it should be located inside the sun room and where the compressor should be placed. When the installers came, they were also very professional and did a great job for us. Rich even helped troubleshoot a problem we were having with our main ac system over the phone and it worked. They are a great company and do all of our service work for our main ac/heat as well. Thanks for keeping us cool.
Description of Work: We contracted with RIch and his team to purchase and install a new Fujitsu ductless mini-split system for our sun room.

I would rate them about a three. They did make it right but the installation people were horrible. The workers were instigators, they said that I will kick them off the job which is not true and the communication was terrible. I said to the owner that the communication was terrible. I mean, he says one thing and says another thing. It was just a nightmare. So, the owner made things right. The company and the owner are alright but the installation people were horrible.

Where do I start... JR Perkins installed 2 heat pumps for $12000 in 4/2010. Our old units were 19 years old and required constant attention. Between July 2012 and June 2014, we required 8 service calls due to units not working. After spending another $1500 in service, on the last service, I told the technician I had enough of JR Perkins and would not be calling them again, in spite of having prepaid for the fall service. I never heard anything further from the company, including a reminder call for my fall service, so apparently, the company got the message of my dissatisfaction,

Response from JR Perkins Heating & Cooling
We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with our service. We apologize. Unfortunately, that particular brand did suffer product malfunctions. The malfunctions to your system occurred after your labor warranty expired. There wasn't anything we can do about the expired warranty. We are truly sorry for this inconvenience. We hope that we can do business with you again soon. Thank you.

After having nothing but problems with JR Perkins - the installer of 2 new heat pumps in 2010, and continuous freon "leak" problems that required 9 service calls due to units not working, I decided to call someone else. Sun Services came out to find out why, for the 10th time, one of my units wasn't cooling. In about 2 minutes, he found a small leak - probably a manufacturing defect that was, by this time out of warranty. He repaired it and i was so happy, I signed a service agreement with Sun Services, in spite of still having an agreement with JR Perkins.

The repairman came and found that the filter was put in the wrong place (by our handyman) and replaced it and cleaned and serviced our unit and did a repair on it. It is working well now. They came promptly and I am satisfied with the work they did.
Description of Work: The A/C at my vacation home was not working and I called Sun Services after speaking to someone who had used them and I also saw they were on Angie's List and given good recommendations.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sun Services was clearly the best of the four firms that we asked to quote the job - two of the firms had Angies' top rating but didn't compare. First, we received an appointment from Sun Services on a timely manner. The woman on the phone was helpful when I asked her to provide some preliminary information prior to the visit. Phil Oehm arrived at the appointed time and was respectful of our time. We had been frustrated with representatives from some of the other companies which seemed to take FOREVER to figure out what unit we needed -- we already had a pretty good sense of what we wanted. We were looking at the same unit from each firm. Phil was the only sales person to actually provide us with an informational handout on the unit. Phil explained other alternatives but did not try to 'oversell' us extras. The quoted price was reasonable and in line with the other low priced firm (which had poor Angies rating). One other firm, (highly rated by Angies) was way out of the ballpark -30% higher). When we told them that was unreasonable they explained it was due to their 'exceptional' service. Then they later sent an email offering a different unit at a lower price (but still 20% higher). We didn't get that run-around with Sun Services. Installation was done the next week in accordance with our schedule. The installers were efficient and tidy. They used a drop cloth and cleaned up after themselves. They even vacuumed inside the holding area for the unit - something that I don't think was done when the first unit was installed! They also provided us with clear instructions for operating the unit and changing the filter. The old unit was placed at the curb and they arranged for someone to come pick it up (which happened later in the day). We wanted to use a local Fountain Hills firm but only if they were comparable to other firms in the Valley. In our opinion, Sun Services was one of the best. They are smaller than some of the other companies and seem to try harder. Is was a nice touch to receive a handwritten thank you after the purchase. As part of the installation, we purchased a maintenance contract and hope that the excellent service continues!
Description of Work: We needed to replace our central air conditioning unit. Sun Services was one of four companies that we received quotes from. We selected them. The job was to remove the old unit (inside and out) and install the new unit.
