"First, it needs to be clarified that we did not perform any work for this customer in July 2015. We installed a new furnace, A/C and humidifier in 2008. Because we keep all of our service and installation records, I was able to pull every appointment we've had with this customer. Our records tell a very different tale. Since the time of installation, we have never been to this customer's home until May, 2014 (6 years after installation). We have absolutely not serviced their units "over the years" as the customer claims. Also, whenever we install new systems, we always make it known to the customer that annual maintenance (cleanings and tune ups) are very important. When our service technician arrived (6 years later) he found the A/C coil completely frozen due to lack of maintenance on the A/C unit. We added refrigerant and got it up and running. The next time we were there, our technician found a faulty voltage absorber. Again, at the time of installation, customers are made aware that we are not responsible for current electrical systems in the home. We did not replace any electrical components at the time of installation. At this service appointment, our technician changed a faulty voltage absorber, and also recommended a cleaning and tune up (declined by the customer). Finally, our last visit to her home was in November, 2014. And it was only to service the humidifier. After our technician left, the humidifier still had a minor leak. We sent another technician to service it. He replaced the pad, cycled the system and everything worked fine. We have not heard anything further from this customer since then. Neither for service nor any complaints from this customer. So we're a little baffled by this terrible review and rating. Due to the fact that this customer has had a system for 6 years, with no maintenance, it's safe to assume that all the units (furnace, A/C and humidifier) have been working just fine. We pride ourselves in quality installations, service and customer service. We do not engage in "shortcuts", nor do we "take advantage" of our customers, as stated in this review. Check out all our review and you'll find many happy Angie's List Members!"

New air conditioning and heating was installed on 3/16/15. The air conditioning went out 3&1/2 months later on Saturday, 8/1/15, in the middle of a heat wave.
I'm reading directly from the Integrity website, "Need a repair or service call? We have a truck in your neighborhood. Call us now! 708.389.3327. Fast response time! Emergency Service! Call now! 24 hour HVAC Service Guarantee: we will respond to your call and repair your heating or cooling problem within 24 hours, or we will put you in a hotel for the night."
Since everything was under warrantee. I anticipated no problems. I called the number given, and got an answering service. The service stated that they would text the repair technician on duty. I waited an hour and called again. I got the same response. An hour later I called again. This time I also stated that there was an elderly person in the house who would have to be moved if the air conditioning was not repaired soon. The answering service stated that they did not know why the technician was not responding, however they would text all of the information again. An hour later I still had no response. I called the answering service a 4th time and again stated I had an elderly person in the house. The service stated that they would call a manager at home.
Five hours after I made my first call, the manager (Laura P.) called me. My first question for her was about the delay in responding. Her answer was, "The office is closed on weekends." I asked about the 24 hour statement on the website. Her answer was that they do "take" messages 24/7. I asked when my calls would have been returned if I had not pestered the answering service. Her answer was "Monday 8/3," which was 48 hours later. I asked when a repairman could come out, and was told "Tuesday, 8/4," 72 hours later.
At that point I became very angry. I said that the website was deceptive, and they were being insensitive to the older person in my home. The manager stated she was not told by the answering service that there was a senior citizen in the house. The answering service said they did. The manager said that in view of that fact, a technician would be out the following day.
The next day, Sunday 8/2 at 1:00 PM a very nice, polite and apologetic technician arrived. An hour and a half later the air conditioning was working fine. The service order stated, "Found unit low on R-410A. Charged 8 ounces of R-410A." I asked what that meant. The technician stated the air conditioner had been improperly charged when it was installed. He also stated that he was the technician on duty the previous day, and had never received any of the text messages from the answering service.
I have no idea who or what to believe. Based on some of the company's responses to poor reviews, they appear to be very defensive and hypersensitive to criticism, so I doubt I'll ever find out what the actual truth is. I'll be very interested to see how they respond to this review.

Integrity kept following up like any professional business should do, and when the health issues were behind us I scheduled the install. They said they would be at the house at 7:30 am, and they were. Very punctual. The installers (two gentlemen) were very knowledgeable about their specific tasks in the installation process and very accommodating to my requests and questions. The system I chose (97% efficient furnace) replaced an 80% efficient furnace, so a different exhaust line had to be installed rather than using the existing chimney. They took care in their drilling and finished the job by sealing all open areas and cleaning up from around them.
The office reached out to me two days after install to ask how it went and see how the system was operating. All is very good. The variable speed blower that is left on all the time makes a tremendous difference in keeping the entire house at one temperature rather than having the lower floor colder than the upper floor. The blower slows down, but keeps pushing air when the thermostat is not calling for heat.
I also learned that Integrity offers both military and senior citizen discounts on their service programs, but check with your salesman for specifics.
As I said, we are very happy with Integrity Heating & Cooling from start to finish with our project. I have already referred them to some friends.

The two-man crew (and I am ashamed to say I forgot their names) came within an hour, were very friendly, professional, showed me the cracks when the units were outside, and cleaned up after themselves.
They also told me that the special air cleaner+ expensive filters that I had been using for nearly 18 years may have caused excess heat to build up... leading to the cracks. They recommended plain filters -- not pleated ones -- in the future with monthly changing.
The lead serviceman was training his helper. He was very patient, and I could hear him give advice and explain why things were done certain ways.
I would definitely recommend this service provider to others.

When the installers arrived and began working (my husband who is NOT easily impressed) kept commenting on how much he liked the fact that our installers kept him involved in the process. My husband is a very mechanical person and wanted to attempt the install himself so for the professionals to keep him looped in was awesome. The installers were courteous and respectful. The install took a little longer than WE anticipated, but upon speaking with the installers it was exactly the amount of time they anticipated given our specific job.
I would HIGHLY recommend Integrity for your ac & furnace needs! They might not be the cheapest quote, but for what your getting the quality and professionalism MORE than makes up for the slightly higher price tag. (And I do mean SLIGHTLY)

They were the low bid by $4,000. You can't go wrong with this company.
Exceptional customer service and follow-up.
