I have used this company for 5 years to maintain my heating and air conditioning system at my primary residence. I am very, very happy with the service they provide. Their service technicians know what they are doing, are very professional, and provide exceptional customer service.
I received a very good proposal with all of the options discussed including part replacement and the option to replace the furnace with a refurbished one to save money. I decided to get a two stage new furnace, new humidifier, and upgraded coil system.
The men that came to the house to do the work were very nice. But they did not know anything about rerouting the water drainage as discussed until I told them. After climbing in the crawlspace, I was warned that it may not be a good idea since the toilet drained where the washer did, and we could have a sewer gas problem if they messed with it. I appreciated the honesty.
After the furnace was installed, I realized that we did not obtain a village permit. I had to leave messages several times at Al Kaplan's before receiving a response on the permit application. It was pretty apparent that they would have preferred not obtaining a permit and were hoping I would go away. But in the end, they did get the permit, and the furnace was inspected without incident.
In conclusion, I feel it was a mixed result. I was very happy with the proposal and the work. But I was not happy that I had to inform the HVAC people of an item that was supposed to be done. I also was not happy that I had to push so hard to get a permit application.
