As the ratings show, it went very well. The only reason we didn't give them an A on price is that we didn't price shop the coolant refill. For all we know it was a competitive price. We accepted his price immediately because he was there; he wasn't trying to sell us a whole new unit; we knew it would be Monday afternoon at the earliest before we could get someone else out to look at the problem; his price sounded reasonable. He also explained our options if the coolant refill didn't work.
Description of Work: On the first hot day of this summer season we turned on the a/c at 10 AM and by 4 PM the house still wasn't cool. The next morning I called to request an appointment and was pleasantly surprised to get one the following day, which was a Saturday. The technician inspected our system, including attic areas, concluded we had a coolant leak, found a leak at the valve (and we hope it was the only leak), replaced the valve, and refilled the system with coolant. We ran the a/c and it now cools properly.

Out of 3 companies interviewed, we choose Thompson heating and air based on our primary quote/consultation with Garett. We immediately liked Garett. He was informative, patient and easy to talk to. While getting quotes from other HVAC contractors I became concerned that there was upcharging on the city permits being issued. Up to $500 charged on my $235 permit they simply get online. Garett does not charge this. The permit fee varies widely based on your address. It seems from $175-$500 for the permit with the norm being $300-$400. I was very lucky at $235. Garett emails/shows you exactly what the city charged and that is what you pay. This is NOT the way the other companies do it! While this may seem like a small amount of money to most spending $4000-$10000 on new HVAC unit it displays some of the ethics of the company that is doing business. My dad has been retired from commercial HVAC for years and was here to monitor everything. Garett and Andy did NOT need babysitting. My dad was SO impressed with them. There was no cutting corners. It was a first class operation from start to finish. I hired them because I truly felt that Garett would install this system as if he was installing it in his own home. Andy who did much of the work clearly was top notch as well. We couldn't be happier with Thompson HVAC and I am so happy to refer them to friends and strangers (you guys) alike so they can have quality service and installation just like we did.
Description of Work: We replaced our working 16 year old horizontal furnace, evaporator coil and condensing unit/compressor because it looked like it was going to go out in the next year or two. We had done a 500 sq foot addition 2 years prior and we decided we would increase from a 3 ton to a 4 ton unit. We didn't want to be left without AC or heat on an emergency basis and we also wanted to install pavers on the side yard where the old condensing unit sat. We needed the HVAC company to be flexible enough in their scheduling to disconnect the old unit, allow the paver installers to finish the job and then return to hook up the new condensing unit on our new pavers

The furnace, grates, ducting, HEPA filter, and platform were installed over several days in very warm weather. The Thompson employees were professional, hardworking and made a point of cleaning up in the garage each day better than they found it! Garrett kept in constant communication with his team and myself and I always knew the status of the job. Even with the minor hiccups mentioned above, Garrett exhibited extreme professionalism and swift resolution in each situation. The furnace installation in the garage is neat and easily accessible, thank you for the suggestion, Garrett! I would not hesitate to recommend Thompson Heating and Air Conditioning and will definitely call them if I decide to add air conditioning in the future.
Description of Work: I had a Trane furnace and HEPA filter installed with all new ducting, vents, and thermostat with the furnace relocated to garage. My current system was 35 years old and located in a hall closet. I wanted a more efficient furnace as well as to move the furnace to the attic so I could reclaim the current location for a remodeling project. Garrett came to give me a bid and out of three A-rated companies on Angie's List, he had the best price and most thorough explanations and suggestions. He did not try to upsell other products and made an excellent suggestion for me to move the furnace to the garage so that I could clean the filter myself and not have to hire someone to trek back and forth on the catwalk in the attic. Garrett kept in constant contact through emails and phone calls and he and his crew worked around my schedule when signing the contract , performing the installation and arranging for a HERS rating team to test the system. (The system passed with much room to spare!) There were a few minor hiccups along the way during the installation. One of the employees stepped off the catwalk accidently and did some minor damage to the dining room ceiling drywall. Also, there was a fan and light which ceased working during the install. Garrett called me immediately and warned me about the drywall damage, and telling me that they would pay for repairs, which they did. Garrett also was able to fix the fan and light. Garrett also pulled the permit and called me to see if he could pick up the permit for my kitchen remodel while he was there! The full measure of a company is not simply their ability to supply a product at a fair price, which Thompson did, but to also keep the lines of communication open, deal professionally and honestly, be responsive to customers and to handle the bumps along the way, which Garrett dealt with most admirably! I know there are many good companies who can install HVAC systems, but dealing with Thompson was an excellent experience!

They were wonderful to work with - very knowledgeable, punctual, personable, clean and efficient. They explained everything and worked with our requirements. They always presented options for our evaluation. They came up with a good solution to our compressor space limitation issue.
Description of Work: Our furnace stopped working recently. They came out and diagnosed the problem quickly. We decided to replace the aging system rather than repair it. They installed a new furnace and air conditioner. The compressor had to fit in an enclosure designed for a 30-year old unit.

I was very pleased with the service Andy Marcott provided during my service call. He diagnosed several repairs that were needed and showed me why he was suggesting the parts should be repaired. There was no high pressure sales pitch or drama involved, just information. Andy was polite and careful in my home. It was easy to have him in my home and he was careful to clean up afterwards. I felt very confident that Andy was giving me honest information and not just "selling" me on repairs I could live without. I would definitely request him again in the future when my furnace or a/c need maintainance or service. This was my first experience with Thompson and Andy represented this company well!
Description of Work: I had scheduled a tune-up for both my furnace and air conditioner units. Andy checked both pieces of equipment and noted some parts that were in need of replacement as they were beyond repair. He took the time to explain what the parts do and how he was testing them, as well as the results of the tests, so that I could understand why they needed to be fixed.

Company gave me the lowest estimate and was able to start the project a day ahead of schedule. They finished the project in 3 days, rather than the estimated 4 days. The experience was excellent - installer was courteous, prompt and intelligent, a pleasure to work with. System works great!

Eric arrived on time. The office called ahead for him and made sure I knew he was on the way. He was attentive to keeping my home clean and was cordial and helpful, explaining everything he was about to do and the results of his examinations. He made sure that every base was covered.
Description of Work: Eric diagnosed and repaired a failed airconditioning system by analyzing the complete system, taking readings in temperature drop and examining the mechanical elements of the system and ultimately replacing the thermostat, which was the root cause.

Andy and they Thompson team are relentless in finding and fixing problems. They stay until the job is finished, no matter how long it takes and always deliver the job at the agreed cost that was predetermined before beginning the work. hey are veyr careful to keep the house clean, from the moment they enter through cleaning up to leave.
Description of Work: Andy and another tech came back as a team and mapped my entire drainage system, inspecting it for cracks, tile separation, root penetration and other defects, using a video camera and a locating device. The system had many twists and turns from all the drain stacks, downspouts and floor drains on their way to the street. They located all the potential future issues that may affect my drain system and advised me on possible solutions, both remedial and preventative.

Nick, the technician, was very professional. I watched him thoroughly check out the unit and refer to his information on my particular unit to verify his results. He explained my options, shared his opinion when I asked for it, and gave me time to figure out my decision. He carefully explained what was happening with the unit, and I appreciated that he did not try to pressure me into a decision. He made the repair, cleaned and serviced my air conditioner, and cleaned up after himself. He gave me some suggestions on how to keep my drain clear, and took the time to look up and write down for me where I could purchase a replacement air filter for a reasonable price.I really appreciated his professionalsim, courtesy, and efficiency. i would definitely ask to have him return should my air conditioner need further servicing.
Description of Work: My air conditioning unit was continuously cycling on and off, but was not cooling the house. As it turned out I needed a new contact and capasiter installed.

My exterior faucet's handle had rusted and came off the spigot in my hand, causing a fairly big leak. The technician explained everything thoroghly to me. The job was performed well and quickly. The technician also cleaned up well and was very professional. I did get a cost on a couple of other items I will need to replace fairly soon and would be comfortable using them again. I was surprised at the cost of replacing an outside faucet and thought it to be high.
Description of Work: Inspection of exterior faucet and leak. Cut off water to main house, cut PVC inside home, removed old spigot and replaced with a new one, welded PVC in place and put new gate valve on exterior of home.

I am new club member. The tune-up is included in club membership. This was first furnance tune-up since I switched to Thompson for heating/AC maintenance. Doug was personable, professional and informative. He put on floor protection shoe covering as soon as he entered the house. I watched him perform the tune-up as I wanted to see how much cleaning of the furnance parts was actually done. He did vacuum the needed areas and he provided me with a checklist of actual gas furnance readings. He noted that the blower motor would need attention in the near future.

Basically we woke up to no heat in our house on very cold morning. the ignition was not lighting the pilot. we called Thompson and someone was at our house in less than half an hour. We have a pretty old furnace but he was able to pinpoint the issue and with just a little cleaning of the part our furnace was back up and running. As we are members of Thompson's energy efficiency club we had a free service call and so we paid nothing for the services on that day
Description of Work: the technician cleaned a part on our furnace ignition which resolved the issue with the pilot not being lit.
