Our new air conditioning system was installed the fall of 2009 by another company and set in service on the summer of 2010. On 2011 we found out there was a very small leak on the system and the original installers could not find the leak and the owner got sick and the company went out of business. Our friends recommende Ralph's heating and they eventually found a faulty part in the system and replaced it, which i am positive that the original installers would never have found but Ralph's heating has all the equipment necessary for the job and also the experince and knowledge that they need because I kept hearing the employee talking to his seniors and making sure they troubleshoot all possibilities and finally figured out that there was not a leak but a faulty park. I was very impressed. Very cold in my home this summer. Thanks Ralph's Heating, you have my business for life.
Description of Work: Very highly recommended by our friends and performed above and beyond all our expectations. On time and very professional. Ralph's Heating fixed a problem previously unabled to be fixed by the company that installed our air conditioning system. Anyone that needs heating and air conditinioning done right, call this company and they will take care of you.Promise.

I spent $268 pre-paid for a service plan and for that they come out and do the condenser, the furnace, the humidifier, and the EAC. They make sure the furnace is ready for the fall and is clean and gets us ready for the spring. They call us when it is time for them to come out. Their prices are right and do not hype anything.
Description of Work: I use Ralph’s Heating Service Inc. for heating and air conditioning work. I used them twice a year and the last time I used them was last fall to make sure everything was ok with the heater.

My air conditioning unit suddenly went out after running fine for the past two weeks. I had a technician come out and used the coupon offered through Angie's list for free estimates. I called Ralph's and scheduled an appointment that next day. They gave me a 4 hour window for arrival but promised to call me 1/2 hour before the technician was due to arrive so I would have time to leave work and not have to take a whole day off to wait for a tech to arrive. The technician did all of the necessary troubleshooting and told me that my problem was not w/ my AC unit but actually an electrical issue that will require for me to now call an electrician. Overall it was a good experience for me b/c the tech was very thorough explained everything knowing that they werent going to get paid for anything. If i have any other heating or air issues i will DEFINITELY use this company in the future.
Description of Work: Nothing... was advised by the technician that my problem was not due to my Air conditioning unit.

I was amazingly surprised to pay so much for a soldering job. I supposed that is their rates. They know what they are doing, but I'm glad that I don't have to call them that often. I would only use them again in an emergency.

Response from RALPH'S HEATING SERVICE INC
The member says we did this work in April of 2003. My records Shown we did do a heating system repair job in Nov. 2005. I just wanted to be sure we are speaking of the same job? If this is the correct job then the member was quoted a price range on the day we inspected the job. He approved the price range and we scheduled the work for another day. We returned and completed the repair as promised within the original price range that was quoted. The member paid us $640.00 to drain his hot water system, remove and repair a leaking pipe fitting. Then refill, bleed the system and confirm the repair was leak free. The total job took about 5 hours to complete plus the material. I have not received any complaints from the member about the job we did until now, 5 years later? Sincerely, Joseph Heritage Ralph's Heating Service Inc.

They did a particularly nice job with the furnace. They are very helpful and very informative. They do excellent work. They checked it out very thoroughly and the quality seemed to be very high. They are very nice people. They did some duct work and where hadn't flowed well before, now it does flow well. They are responsive.

Since I have an old humidifier, finding the correct filter was difficult. Ralph's heating went to the trouble of finding the filter and bought two so I will have one for next year. The serviceman had to make two trips. I appreciate their efforts.

I had a Goodman A/C unit installed 3 years ago, by another Heating and Cooling contractor who has retired for health reasons. It stopped cooling on Saturday.The unit has a 5 year warranty. I called Goodman,the manufacturure, and they provided a list of contractor's who install that brand in my area. I than checked Angie's List and found that Ralph's had good reviews on AL. I phoned them, explained the situation, and scheduled the appointment for the following day. Their office called me the same day to say they could have someone enroute today if I would be home. The technician-Ray J. arrived. After examining the system, he quickly found the leaky valve and tightened it and recharged the system. It appeared that some units had been recalled for this valve problem. He even checked to see if it was one of the effected units (by model and serial number) by calling the office.It wasn't. It appears that there is a service bulletin to remind installers to tighten and check the valves during installation, and that the original installer (a different company) may have forgot to check the valve's causing a loss of freon in the system. I appreciated their (Ralph's heating and air conditioning, Inc) honesty, integrity, promptness, and professionalism. Thanks.
Description of Work: Searched for leak in central A/C unit. Located suction valve leak, and tightened caps on both valves. Added R-22 freon. Rechecked system.

They came promptly to fix my heating system. Another time when I had a question, they returned my call promptly. The service person called me within hours of my calling the dispatcher. He asked me to go and check the filter and I said that the filter was a 90-day filter and it was only 60 days. He said that before he had to come out and charge me for this, to go do what he said. I did and it started. I appreciated that. They are responsive and courteous.

We have a furnace and they have been servicing it since the time we moved here for about 25 years ago. It works just as good, that’s how good they are. The technician that comes out always calls before he comes. He does a thorough job and also enlightens us about something he wants us to consider. He does not try to sell us anything but makes appropriate suggestions and leaves the decision to us. He is pretty prompt and very courteous.
Description of Work: They do the annual maintenance on our heating and cooling unit. The last time they came in for a maintenance check. They do chimney checks, cleaning the furnace, checking the palate light and the humidifier, the valves and everything you want them to check.

The igniter on the furnace went out during the recent sub-zero cold snap. Ralph's was able to get someone out to the house the same day I called - 2 hrs sooner than the original window given. The service was professional and relatively quick . The part that was needed was not on the truck, but the office was close by so the serviceman was able to drive to the office to retrieve it and return in about 20 minutes. From start to finish, the work took just over an hour.
Description of Work: The igniter on the furnace was replaced.

Ralph's was the only authorized dealer of our brand of a/c in the area. The technician came out within the promised window. He immediately inspected the entire HVAC system and then checked the a/c unit. He spotted the problem quickly. He replaced a part on the a/c unit, tested the system, reset our programmable thermostat and cleaned up. He was finished with the job in under 1/2 hour.

From start to finish I was very impressed with Ralph's. Used their web form to request service then followed up with a phone call due to my own paranoia. They scheduled me for a service call the morning of the next day. Dispatch called as the technician was rolling saying he'd be there in about 30 minutes. He was there within 20. Andre, the technician, wasted no time, went right to the furnace, asked how I had diagnosed the problem, agreed, changed the part and answered my questions regarding add-ons, such as a purifier and humidifier, giving prices, brand recommendations, and his personal experience with some of the brands in his own home. All told, Andre was finished within 20 minutes of arriving. He was neat, professional, and friendly. I will definitely be using Ralph's again in future. My only quibble is that the part was a little more expensive than I had estimated from research. Again, a quibble.

We were glad that the problem was eventually fixed, but not happy that it took them 2 separate visits to correctly diagnose the problem and fix it. We could have saved time, money, and 1 extra night of space heaters, if they had done it right the first time. Their only saving grace is that they only charged us for the parts on the second visit and not the $89 labor rate again. Also, the technician was nice, but I'm not sure he was the most knowledgeable one.
Description of Work: Our heat was not coming on. The first visit they made, they did not really locate any problem. After he checked it out & dusted it out, it came on. They basically charged us $111 that day to look at it. The next day the heat went flaky again & did not come on, so we called them back. This time they located a bad igniter & replaced it, & then charged us another $111. After this was replaced we did not have any further problems.

We scheduled a service call with Ralph's Heating who sent Demetrius Brown to take a look at our furnace to see if it was okay. He arrived promptly and was very polite and informative about what he would be doing. He was very respectful of our home, letting us know when he had to go out to his truck and come back in again, and answered all our questions. He gave us pointers on how to keep our furnace working efficiently. We think he did an excellent job, and would hire Ralph's again.

A complete evaluation of our heating requirements was done by their engineer. This included photographing and measuring all the radiators in our home. Based on their findings, it was determined that the broiler we had was too small. The installation went very well. The installers were professional and neat. Mr. Wood even found some original parts, still maufactured. The new furnace was installed to the specification of the original furnace. We have already noticed a difference in our heating bill. Their service has been superb.
Description of Work: Installation of a new furnace. Our home is over 75 years old and has a very unique steam heating system. This is the third furnace we have had installed during the 35 years we have owned the home.
