He included re-doing duct work for more efficient air-flow, re-insulting copper and drain lines, extending the existing condensation drain (which was causing some mold growth), and much more..
In the end I chose a top of the line Lennox system and could be happier.
Made an appointment for an estimate on a new system and no one ever showed up. When I tried to speak to the owner that I had met years ago I was always passed off to someone else. I was really disappointed in them not showing up after having them provide service for me for 3 years. It may have been a blessing in disguise because I had someone else install a new system and I loved the job they did.
However, others have not been so good. After two years of being under agreement with this company, we decided to look for another, as overall; their service has been mediocre at best. Other service technicians did a quick once over, without cleaning the outdoor condenser or opening up the air handler or checking the output temperature of the AC unit. In fact, I was told by one tech that our outside unit didn't need to be cleaned like most units. The other service guys always cleaned the outside unit; however he just didn't want to. Little did he realize that he was talking to a retired electrical engineer who knows a thing
or two about electromechanical systems. That service technician also charged us $172 for a 5 micro-farad capacitor. This capacitor was part of a twin capacitor combo unit that contained a 12.5 and a 5.0 Micro-farad capacitor. The 5.0 side was bad
and he didn't have the combo unit on the truck so he used a 5.0 micro-farad individual capacitor and substituted it for that half of the combo unit that was bad. He charged $172 for that 5.0 capacitor part. I have since purchased a new combo unit for $32, so you can see the price gouging that goes on while they have you as a captive customer under agreement. Not anymore! Prior to this incident, we had called them and set up an appointment to have an estimate for a new AC system installed as ours is nearing its limit in age and performance. Well, the man was supposed to show up between 10 and 11 AM but never arrived. We waited and waited. Then, shortly after 4 PM, I called to asked the girl answering the phones what happened. She told me that the man had been tied up longer than expected on the previous call and couldn't make it and that I would have to reschedule. I told her that it would have been nice to have been notified that he was not going to show, so we could have done something else with our afternoon. She was not very nice to me on the phone and told me that she was not responsible to notify me. She also informed me that the man who missed the appointment was not responsible to call either. So, as you can see, customer service from this company is also mediocre at best. The list goes on and on! Our AC system will definitely need to be replaced in a year or two, but Boyd Brothers will not be called upon to do the job.
The gentlemen that installed the system were friendly, prompt and professional. They did a great job. We elected to go with an Amana system. Dustin worked with us throughout the process and saw the installation through. We also selected an additional air filter which was wonderful and I'm glad we got it.
In addition, since our new system was installed, our monthly electric bill went down from $125.00 to $80.00 per month and the house is overall cooler!
Boyd Brothers did a beautiful job on the duct work and fitting the new system in a better location for us. I was really impressed with their work and will continue to recommend them to everyone I talk to!
