They were great. I give them an A+ for professionalism. They were able to come the same day I called. The tech explained everything, and showed me the melted wire which was causing the problem. I put a "B" for cost, but I have no idea what this would have cost elsewhere. It seemed like a reasonable price for the repair.
Description of Work: They repaired our air conditioning contactor, drained the extra refrigerant that was causing it not to run effectively, and did a full check of the system.

We were very satisfied with they have done. Basically there is one aspect that we can tell you about; it has been a week and half since he was here that we need to call them because the equipment is making a sound and it seems it is not his high priority. But after he came back the broiler has been done excellently. The crew presented themselves nicely and very well. I think they were very attentive to what they needed to do. There were questions I would ask them about and like about the equipment they installed and how to use it and they answered it. I had to push them a little bit to get them back.
Description of Work: Black Forest Heating & Cooling did some work for me. Two weeks ago they installed the broiler and a week ago they came back to install a part for the meter.

After reading your review and researching this job, for the boiler replacement, it appears that you may have reviewed the wrong company. Our records indicate that we provided service for you in 2011 and prior, but did not replace your boiler in March 2015. Also, during my research, I found that who ever did the replacement did not pull the required permit with Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD). If you find that the person who installed the boiler is unable to obtain a permit and you would like the boiler installation legal and need a licensed company to pull a permit and request an inspection with PPRBD, please give us a call and we can have one of our technicians perform an inspection and obtain the proper permits. All reviews are valuable and we appreciate any feedback about our service that will help us serve you and our community better in the future.

As far I know it was fine. I have used them before and they are consistent. We will be calling them back again to work on our heating. I had no issues so I give them good grades, remarks and recommendations. They have always been pleasant and very professional. They have always been very responsive to our calls and they have always been professional. They do good job of keeping it clean and quick and very respectful. We have used them in the past.

The technician was pleasant and prompt but kept talking about how his heart was no longer really in the work and he was only doing HVAC work for sustenance. We ended up having this whole service plus the addition of a whole home humidifier done for about $8,240.00 by another provider.

It is our mission to serve each client with honesty, integrity and knowledge. We do offer complementary consultations to share various replacement options with clients. There are so many advances in today's home comfort system technology with the efficiency levels, variable speed motors, remote thermostats, by-pass, power, and steam humidifiers, etc. It is hard to compare prices unless we understand that the proposed systems included the same equipment, warranties and guarantees. It sounds like the client is got the system she was looking for and that is good. I am unsure what conversation, during the consultation regarding technician feelings was about, but will learn from your response. Please be sure that I am serious of my profession, proud or our team and completely dedicated to each and everyone of our clients.

We've used them at least three different times, and we've always had good experiences. We use them over the competition because they're so prompt and responsive every time we've had an emergency. Brandon is top notch! I don't have a good sense of how competitive their pricing is because we typically don't have the luxury of getting multiple estimates when we have an emergency.

It was okay. They were good but they didn't close up some of the holes they made in the vents. We didn't call them because it was something that we fixed ourselves but they should have done it. The price could have been a little lower. They gave a warranty but it was less than a year. They were definitely professional. I probably wouldn't use them again.
Description of Work: I used Black Forest Heating & Cooling to check the heating and A/C and they cleaned up all the ducts.

We where delighted with the service we received. A young man came over to install our air conditioning. The poor guy had to put up with my dogs and my horrible housekeeping skills. He was courteous, professional, and personable. I find these attributes are important when I hire someone to do work in my home. It is not only important to be knowledgeable in what you do but to be willing to answer questions when the customer asks them. This young man did all those things and he did them well. He started Monday morning and worked all day putting the air conditioning together and attaching it to our electricity and gas. He called an electrician to check and see if we needed a new fuse box which we did not. I never did talk to the electrician but it was not really necessary because he was doing his work through Black Forest Heating and Cooling. I am sure if I had any questions or concerns the nice young man would have been more than willing to answer my questions. The next day the Air conditioning man came to clean our ducts and finish up any other work that needed to be done on the central unit. I do not think I can remember having such a pleasant experience with a company. This young man was the most pleasant I have ever dealt with. Anyone who would put up with the barking and carrying on of my dogs is tops with me. The air conditioning is working perfectly. I am sure if I had any problems they would be over at my house in a minute. I never had trouble contacting them at any point during the work they did in my house adding an air conditioning. They are one of the most professional, courteous and nicest group of people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and doing work in my house.
Description of Work: A nice young man came over to install air conditioning in our home. He also cleaned our air ducts. The whole thing took about two days. He worked all day the first day and part day the next day. He had to put in different parts and attach them to the electricity and to the gas.An electrician was called to see if we needed to update our fuse box and electricity in any way. I was very impressed with that because we could have ran into many problems if that had not been checked. The air conditioning young man had enough forethought and knowledge to turn off the water heater and the gas before he started his work. I am certainly glad he was knowledgeable in that area. It is those little things that mean a lot. Our air ducts where aslo cleaned which I am sure we needed seeing that where we live we have a lot of dust and we also own dogs. He was efficient, courteous, and professional.

Black Forest Heating is a company of high integrity. They have highly knowledgeable and trained technicians. We came home to a failed fan motor and no heat. We called Black Forest on a holiday night to get an appointment. We had a delay in obtaining parts,but it was not the fault of Black Forest Heating, it was a distributor issue. Back Forest Heating kept us up to date on details and worked hard to find interim solutions, like the temporary fan motor, to keep our home heated. They also, loaned us heaters and even brought us fire wood. I feel they did their best to support us and assist us. I felt we were in good hands. I find this company to be a very good company to work with. I highly recomend them to everyone. They genuinely care about their customers. It is a pleasure to work with them.
Description of Work: Replaced a failed geothermal heat pump fan motor, installed a temporary fan motor while waiting for the ordered one to arrive. It includes labor, an annual service fee, an expansion tank replacement, a new circuit board , a new humidifier purchase and installation .

- Received an appointment for the same week called; blew it (comm mix-up); fortuitously the makeup date was the next day. - The humidifier problem turned out to be trivial, was fixed at no charge. - The heater inspection was thorough despite some old installation problems, but did reveal a small gas leak - Gas leak was quickly resolved at less than the estimate. - The general maintenance was complete and included a combustion tune-up. - The repairman was thorough and patient (I was hovering nearby throughout) answering all my questions clearly. - I was charged for the inspection, gas leak repair, and the general maintenance. - Twas a good experience.
Description of Work: Service call was for heater inspection and to deal with a humidifier glitch. The inspection revealed a small gas leak which I had repaired. Also had general heater maintenance accomplished.

We had a new furnance installed at the end of December and when it was inspected by El Paso county a few days later, it didn't pass. We were contacted by BF to schedule an appointment to fix it, but they didn't show. We called and the owner said he was trying to get a letter from the manufacturer stating it was fine they way they installed it. That was seven months ago, and the last we heard from him.

Response from BLACK FOREST HEATING & COOLING
On the initial inspection from Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD), the inspector failed the installation because he believed that the manufacturer required a new vent for this furnace installation. After submitting letter from manufacturer, it was confirmed that the vent and the furnace installation is to code. The inspection was complete and passed; the following notes were given by the inspector: See scanned letter in images regarding installation of larger vent being allowed. No new vent installed, no extra permit required. No other onsite inspection was required. The laps of time to obtain the letter, submit it to PPRBD and get approval was frustrating, please excuse. I am not aware of a technician not showing up to [member name removed]'s house, it is our policy to call if we are not going to be there. Because this incident was a few years ago, I can not confirm this. I do know that it is always our mission to serve each client with honesty, integrity and knowledge.

Our furnace began blowing cool air during it's cycle two days before we were leaving on a two week vacation. BFHC has a answering service that called back within an hour. They were at our house before business hours the next AM to help us out. They were polite, prompt and even though we may have more serious issues with our furnace they helped with a temporary fix that is still working so we have time to save for the best furnace we can get. I would highly recommend them.

We used them just this one time. Our interaction with them was fine. They had to come back and do a couple of things, but they took care of everything. They responded quickly. The price was average. They were very punctual and professional, and the quality was definitely good. We would use them again in the future if necessary.

Existing home hot water supply was inadequate for the size of the house. The house was designed with a single furnace that did not provide adequate heating in the basement. Mr. Williams was easy to work with, understood the problem, provided options, provided a free estimate and was knowledgable in code requirements. After going to contract, Black Forest Hearing and Cooling craftsmen did an outstanding job to retrofit the basement utility room with a secon hot water heater and a second furnace. The home owner expressed a concern with the hot water heater installation and the Black Forest Hearing and Cooling craftsmen fixed the issue without any complaints or additional charge. The addition furnace was was installed and met the homeowner expectations. The workmenship of the furnace installation required extensive duct work with minimal loss of room space.
Description of Work: Add a second water heater and a second furnace. The installation was to an existing home that required the Black Forest Heating and Cooling company to retrofit the new products into an existing utility room.

Overall, the project went well. Although the sub-contracted excavator did damage a few trees and should have been more careful, considering the thick forest environment, the impact was relatively minor. The actual system installation and removal of the previous boiler system went very well. The BFH techs were very conscientious, careful in our house and attuned to our concerns and desires. The installation in the machine room was very neat, functional and BFH has been very good in responding to the need for minor system adjustments following install completion. Very customer service oriented.
Description of Work: Black Forest Heating (BFH) installed a home geothermal heating and cooling system. This involved significant excavation requiring two 100'x15'x7' trenches be dug and geothermal coils assembled and buried in the trenches as well as a manifold constructed and runs into the house machine room. An existing propane boiler system was also removed.

Very poor. There are twenty-two variances from manufactures installation manual. Regional inspector checked for gas leaks, and pipe suspension, only. The install was approved. I believe the most serious problems are: The altitude is 7,500 ft., the manufacture suggests replacing the gas jets. The gas pressure was not checked at he furnace gas valve. The drip leg was not installed on the gas line. I communicated the considerations to the owner. Received a reply to correct the problems. I responded with a letter asking to call to complete the installation. Have not received an answer. Last week called and left message for Mr. Williams to call, no response. Will be following up with additional letter since their reply to my initial letter stated some repairs would be completed. I filed a letter to an credit company for them to withhold $1,000, until there is resolution.
