I purchased the coupon and called Air-Rite as soon as I received the "we've got your coupon" email. At that time I was told the first available appointment was June 6. This was May 6 so they couldn't schedule a service call for a month. This was way past my deadline for the condo, but also an unacceptable amount of lead time when trying to schedule maintenance on major home mechanical system.
I found them little expensive as other charge $49 and they charged $69. But I am happy with the technician who came out was very professional and provide some good recommendation. Thank you.
This month the vibration became very noticeable on the upper floors due to noise coming from the air ducts, so we decided to go ahead with the blower wheel replacement.
I was worried about their appointment process since they did not provide a specific time - was told I had the afternoon window on a certain date. I did not want to sit around all afternoon waiting for the technician. But the technician called during the late morning just prior to my window as he was finishing another job and gave me the estimated time he would show up. He showed up right as he'd planned with the parts on hand.
During the blower wheel replacement, he found the cooling coil was mostly clogged (previous homeowner had ran the unit for prolonged period of time without an air filter and caused hidden havoc.) The cleaning of the coil was priced on the high side ($300+), but it required the removal of the burner and blower wheel for access - he was halfway there already. He also found the run capacitor to be severely degraded (this furnace had just been inspected by this same company the previous month and passed inspection.) They charged me $56 to replace the $9 capacitor which would be reasonable on its own due to the labor and diagnosis, but they had already inspected the unit last month. Given the overall cost of the repair already charged, the capacitor should have been included.
All labor costs aside, the technician was very experienced and professional, did a great job on the repair itself and left the furnace in good working order, running smoothly and free of any vibrations. I will continue to use them for this unit, and will consider getting their quote when time comes to replace this unit for a new Furnace/AC.
