Ductless A/C Service
ARS installed our Carrier mini split system 4 years ago, and it?s been nothing but scare tactics and upselling since. First it was the board, then the compressor, then they said we should just replace the entire system they installed. At one point, they told us a wire had burned up ? then the system magically worked 2 days later. Fed up, we hired a licensed third-party company. They replaced both OEM boards, fixed the communication issue, and confirmed the compressor was bad but under warranty. Later that SAME DAY, ARS came out and quoted us $2,289 (discounted to $1,831) ? including a brand-new inverter board that had just been replaced HOURS earlier. We paid $1,700 total elsewhere for boards, compressor, labor, and actual honesty. If lying about a brand new part doesn?t prove how shady they are, I don?t know what does. Get a second opinion. Don?t get taken advantage of.

ARS would NOT offer financing unless the job was over $10,000. The quote for the replacement heat pump was substantially below the requirement for financing but, unable to pay cash or get a loan, the sales rep RAISED the price of the job to $10,000 because that was all he was willing to do! Thanks for nothing, pal. I was forced to over pay just for the privilege of getting ARS financing! He said I had to also buy the thermostat that ?came with it?. I made it perfectly clear that I would be using my own. On installation day, the guy installing the unit did an acceptable job. At my request, they agreed to let me keep the old heat pump. I knew I could make some money from recycling it. The guy installing the new thermostat was completely unprofessional. He purposely threw my existing thermostat onto the floor like he was trying to damage it. Unacceptable, as I intended to reinstall it. Total lack of respect! I?m so happy that I won?t be dealing with ARS again.

Worked quickly, spent time explaining why we have to pay upwards of $300 every time ARS performs maintenance on our central air conditioner. It would be a pleasant experience if ARS quit pushing expensive extras on us. We must reiterate the professional and patience of the service tech, Flogert.

We were very pleased with ARS from start to finish! No problems at all. Very friendly, very knowledgeable and professional. They did what they said they would do in a timely manner and communication was excellent. Call the consultant we were fortunate to have Travis Grippe at 727 201 6486. The installers Patrick and Eric were also great!

Tech more worried about rain. Said he thought he knew what was wrong. Put whole system in 3 years ago. Said I needed new duct system. Duct system didnt just go bad in last few years. New system quote 10,000 dollars. Dont trust this company. Will never use again.

I've been using ARS Rescue Rooter since 2017, when I had my house, and now, last year, 2023, in my new home, I had to get a new system installed when I moved in. Your service techs (Ergys Hisa, Flogert Mihaj, and trainee Kelly) are all very nice, and they check everything, take pictures of any problems and explain things to me. They recommend things as well, but are not pushy. They are kind to my surroundings, clean working, and careful in what they do. I've recommended ARS, to some of my friends, and I know one has recently bought a new system as well. Keep up the good work.

Iâ ve been using ARS for the past 7 years at my home. After moving last year, I needed a new AC in my new condo and called them to come and install. Now, Iâ ve had the first maintenance check and all was good. Their tech, Ergys Hisa, is very nice, explains things to me, and is careful of my property. They are lucky to have him. Iâ m happy to have ARS take care of my home AC and heat.

This company is gone the moment they install your system. The warranty the offer with CARRIER they will not HONOR. Do yourself a favor and contact another HVAC Company, Carrier will honor the parts warranty but ARS will jack up labor to cover parts costs AND labor. Then if you question them, they will ghost you. Tech came out ($109 trip cost) to diagnose why our HVAC system wasn't kicking on. It was diagnosed that it was a covered item on our system. The fan motor went bad and the total was over $1500 to fix. LABOR ONLY. When asked how long the repair took, it was confirmed less than an hour. How is it $1500 for an hour of labor? The tech became angry, said we didnt know what he did, and left. We now have been without HVAC on a 3 year old system for 3 days with no return calls and no repair by the company that charged $15k to install the initial system. They do not care about you or your family. We have a 2 month old and a 3 year old and have had to stay at the Marriott until another HVAC company can receive the part from Carrier to fix. It is on back order. And I will add the other HVAC company came in at a much cheaper labor rate, literally 1/5 of ARS. Do yourself a favor, read real customer reviews, not fake ones. Read the stories of people who have had to interact with this dishonest company.
