Everything has gone very well. They are very responsive, and their technicians are wonderful-we have actually had the same technician the whole time that we have used them. We have been very happy with him.
Description of Work: They do our air conditioning and furnace maintenance. We have used them for around 7 years, and they come out twice a year.

I am comfortable having Bob work in my home. He has been here before, and I like to have someone who is familiar with all my equipment and my history. So I am glad that they will schedule the same technician. Bob works efficiently, and is good about explaining exactly what he is doing and what the charges are for.
Description of Work: I have a regular service contract with AA for $96 a year. They called me to schedule my annual heating maintenance. It seemed a little early in the year, but it ended up okay. Bob checked my furnace. It cost me an additional $67 for a filter and another part. The cost of the filters are not included in the contract I have. Bob warned me that I may need a new furnace in the next few years, because mine is about 13 years old.

This is a great company to use for on-going maintenance needs. Each fall, we call them just to look over the furnaces to make sure everything is running right. The maintenance agreement ensures that even if your furnace stops working at an inconvenient time like a weekend or a holiday, we would not have to pay an extra labor fee. This company is very fair and professional.
Description of Work: They came late last fall and looked at our old furnace. At that time I signed up for a maintenance agreement with them to maintain it.

Excellent job. Came on time, finished the same day ahead of schedule, you could not tell that they were there. We have now slept so well in the unit since we moved in. Well worth the money. Great follow up.
Description of Work: Complete replacement of existing furnace, A/C, Humidifier, and water heater. Installation of new computerized integrated thermostat. Installation of a new reverse duct to balance temperature between floors (ours is a 4 floor town house with one thermostat and one set of equipment resulting in the lower floors being considerably cooler than the upper ones).

I requested cleaning by an experienced technician for my two furnaces which were in good operating condition. When the technician arrived, I questioned whether he was knowledgeable about this older furnace. He assured me that he was. Following cleaning the furnace, the technician was unable to restart it. After a significant amount of time, he needed to replace one part for $300 plus labor. Shortly after the technician left, the furnace would not turn on. The same man returned. After another significant amount of time trying to figure out what he had done to the furnace, there was another part that needed to be ordered. I authorized this order. There was no notation on the invoices that this was a good functioning furnace before the technician arrived and did the cleaning. When I complained to the supervisor, he caused more problems. Finally the thermostat was replaced; the furnace worked again. For parts/labor I paid over $2000 instead of $79. I had been a customer for years.
Description of Work: I requested an experienced technician for seasonal cleaning of two functioning furnaces, one being an older model. The coupon price was $79 per furnace.

The annual cleanings have been excellent. The technicians wear booties in the house, a nice touch, and they explain everything in detail. They are patient with questions. Service for problems seems a bit less reliable, probably because we have the "cheap" contract--there is an expensive deluxe version that gets you better service. We had a serious hot water heater leak that was dumping hot water all over our basement. I called at 11 PM at night, and no one returned my call until the next morning at 9 AM. By that time, I had called our plumber who had fixed the problem. Basically, the "cheap" contract covers the annual cleanings. I am not sure it valuable for other than that purpose. I understood that I would be paying for the service call, and in my book, they should at least call back promptly when it is an emergency like that, especially when you are a contract customer.
Description of Work: Annual contract which includes servicing of two air conditioners, two gas furnaces, one humidifier, and two hot water tanks. I thought it also provided 24-hour emergency service--at our cost, but at least the service was available and a response guaranteed. The company comes out twice a year for cleaning of appropriate units.

Company did a great job. They were prompt, courteous and made sure drilling and cutting through walls did not result in excess dust to the unit. Overall very pleased with the work. [In retrospect I should have had the company remove (rather than simply plug) ductwork leading from basement to 2nd floor that was no longer needed; and think perhaps company should have recommended this.] Overall very happy with the work.
Description of Work: Company installed new heating and air conditioning units for the top floor of my two-flat. This required the addition of duct-work from the attic into the second floor, and elimination of duct-work from basement into the second floor unit. Workers also added an extra duct into first floor unit to vent some of the force of the 1st floor heating unit. Company also installed an attic fan.

AA installed my neighbor's Furnace and A/C 2 years ago. They referred AA to myself and another neighbor. Scott offered a $100 discount for coordinating with my neighbor in my building. The service men, led by Michael Joyce, were fast, efficient, friendly and took the time to review how to set me thermostat. They answered all my questions and made me feel confident in their work. They also offered a free cleaning and will be coming out next week to service my furnace. I highly recommend them.

They are an alright company but once I got around to comparing I found that they were much more expensive than other companies with better ratings. I also discovered through an emergency duct cleaning that they were using incorrectly sized filters that they would bend to fit. Lastly, I tend to be Chicago-centric in my business patriotism and didn't want to use a suburban company unless I had to.

THEIR SERVICEMEN ARE WONDERFUL AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING THE SERVICE CONTRACT. OUR HEAT WENT ON THE FRITZ LAST WINTER ON A SATURDAY AND THEY HAD SOMEONE OUT THAT DAY WITH NO OVERTIME CHARGES.

THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH AA SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. THEY CAME OUT ON THE SAME DAY THAT I CALLED THEM. EVERYONE WITH WHOM I DEALT WAS COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL. THE TECHNICIAN WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND DID NOT CHARGE FOR OVERTIME, ALTHOUGH HE HAD TO WORK UNTIL 7:30 P.M. HE EVEN WORE COVERS FOR HIS SHOES WHEN ENTERING THE PREMISES. I COULD NOT HAVE HAD A BETTER EXPERIENCE. I EVEN SIGNED UP FOR A YEARLY MAINTENANCE PLAN.
Description of Work: THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE FURNACE TO DETERMINE THE REASON FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING. IT BECAME APPARENT THAT I HAD INCORRECTLY PUT THE COVER ON THE FURNACE, THUS SHUTTING OFF THE AIR. THE TECH CLEANED AND CHECKED BOTH THE FURNACE AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, CHECKED THE FREON, AND PUT IN A A NEW THERMOSTAT.
