I called the company at 4;45 and they were at my house the same day at 8;00am. They were great, my thermostat was broken and they helped me get it replaced under the warranty. They were kind, professional, and prompt I will use them again in the future.

When they came this year, they did the same thing. I wasn't home when they came or I would have insisted that they put stop leak in.
Description of Work: They added freon to our air conditioner. They also did this last year. After last year's service, I called and asked them if they should have put stop leak in to keep it from leaking again. They said they could not do that as it would shorten the life of my air conditioner.

Response from Appel Heating & Air Conditioning
Appel first serviced the member's air conditioner on September 2, 2011. At that time two pounds of refrigerant were added to the system and the member signed off on the service invoice and the refrigerant leak bulletin and refused to have the leak located and repaired. Having the leak located and repaired is the proper way to deal with a refrigerant leak on a cooling system. On May 28, 2014 we returned to the member's residence and this time had to add three pounds of refrigerant. The member once again refused to have the leak located and repaired and once again signed off on the service invoice and on an additional leak bulletin. On June 11, 2015 Appel returned once again to the member's home and again found the air conditioner low on refrigerant. The service invoice states the following: “System refrigerant charge low. Has a history of prior loss. Added 3 pounds of R-22 (refrigerant). Checked performance. No leak search or repair request. Loss will continue.” This time the service invoice was again signed by the member's wife. So for the third time Appel was asked to add refrigerant to the cooling system without locating or fixing the leak. Appel certainly has made it clear to the member that a leak on their cooling system should have been addressed dating back to September 2011. Multiple times we were instructed to not address the leak but told instead to just go ahead and add refrigerant to the cooling system. The proper way to address a refrigerant leak is to do a leak search and then replace the leaking part. Most reputable service companies do not use any sort of “stop leak” to address refrigerant leaks as most equipment manufacturers do not want foreign substances added to a refrigerant system. The only thing that “stop leak” is guaranteed to do is cause problems with refrigerant metering devices, refrigerant gauges and manifolds. Appel Heating & Air Conditioning certainly feels that receiving a “C” rating from this member for doing exactly the work they specified on multiple trips to their home is unjust and unfair. Please consider our service records, leak bulletins, and the explanation of events contained within this letter as proof that Appel does not deserve a “C” rating. Sincerely, Scott Appel

The technician was punctual and very efficient. He explained what was wrong with the A/C and what needed to be repaired. Since the A-coil was leaking refrigerant and could not be repaired, a new coil was needed. I had forgotten that I purchased the extended warranty which the technician reminded me. Since parts and labor were under that warranty, I paid nothing to have the coil replace, the system charged and tested.
Description of Work: The A-Coil was leaking refrigerant and the system would not cool the house. The coil was replaced, charged, and tested. It has been performing great ever since.

Our A/C failed on Friday morning, and we were going into one of the hottest weekends of the summer. The Appel tech came same day to diagnose the problem. After discovering our compressor was shot, the sales team came out to our house after normal business hours to go over costs and options. Once we agreed that a new unit was to be installed, the tech went back to their office and brought us some window units to help get us through the hot weekend (they were pretty old, but took the edge off in the upstairs bedrooms). Install happened on Monday morning and the installers arrived promptly. The service was excellent and they went above and beyond. For example, the installers thought they smelled natural gas in our basement, investigated, and found a small gas leak on our main line. They let us know and did not charge us to repair. I have had other installers in our basement recently, and none of them demonstrated that kind of quality (you get what you pay for). I would recommend Appel for any HVAC issues.
Description of Work: Appel installed a new 13 Seer A/C system after the compressor in our 12 year old unit failed.

I called Appel because the furnace had stopped working. The service representative found that the igniter had failed. In addition the circuit board also failed. The circuit board had been replaced previously. The repairman was very thorough in evaluating the problems and spent a lot of time. Since the repair estimate was $600 to $800 and the furnace had been repaired several times, I requested an estimate for a new furnace. Appel sales rep, Nat provided information regarding the best furnace for my situation and the cost estimate. He also made me aware of the rebate available from the gas company and provided the forms to apply for the rebate. All of Appel employees were professional and prompt. The furnace installers were careful about my floors and walls and ensured that everything was cleaned up. So far I'm happy with the furnace and will continue to use Appel in the future whenever needed.
Description of Work: Replaced the furnace.

They did the repair promptly. They were very clean. They are a lovely company to work with. They provided a second opinion on my furnace and determined that I did not need to replace it. Even the owner came out and verified the second opinion. He was very nice. The price was very reasonable.

Appel sent someone out every day to work on the system to find the issue and did determine the cause. They were very professional and nice and really wanted to get the heat back on. Kudos to all at Appel.
Description of Work: Due to some bad heating oil that clogged my furnace, it would not work. This company sent technicians out to clean and restart the furnace. But it would heat to a certain point and quit. They were very persistent in trying to determine the reason why it would only heat to a certain temperature and quit. Then the furnace would not restart so it became very cold in the house. One technician determined the real problem and had to replace the nozzle. Since then the furnace has been working perfectly. Tara, in the Service Department checked with me every day to make sure the furnace was working.

They've been the service provider here for some years. I like that they tell me when they're coming. They're punctual, they make an effort not to trample the plantings around in the center of the air conditioning units. They cleaned up after themselves and we're happy with them. I have no complaints. There was one time wherein there was a rattle in the air conditioning unit and they were out within a couple of hours and basically it was a loose panel and they did what they had to do. I guess tighten the screws or something and then they went away. They're good.

My wife and I are in Florida, the house was locked My son checked the house periodically. He found on Sunday 1/11/15 the temp inside was 48 deg when it should have been 66.. We called Appel. A tech was at the house within 1 hour - the furnace needed to be replaced. The work was scheduled for the next day, Monday, at 9:00. Appel installed the new furnace just before the outside temp was forecasted to drop below zero. The service was prompt and friendly. The tech came out on a football playoff Sunday! The new furnace was installed as promised on Monday 1/12/15. When my son checked the house later Monday the inside temp was 68 deg. The level of service was just outstanding. Appel has earned our gratitude and has a committed customer.
