We are sorry to hear you did not have a good experience using Sila. Unfortunately, we do not service your area. You can request a refund from Angie's List for the services our company was unable to perform. There was a technical glitch that occurred and our coupon for the water heater flush went to several areas that we do not service. We apologize about the inconvenience. Best Regards, The Sila Team

I need to also mention the structural project mentioned above was identified by John when arrived at my home to scope out his work. This was not something he did or could do, but he noticed I had a major beam in the ceiling that was broken and recommended I get some to look at it BEFORE I did anything. I don't even think I had signed with him yet. When I saw it and had a structural engineer come in to investigate it was a MAJOR issue. I have to mention this because there are not a lot of contractors that I've met that are willing to DELAY their work for the client to address another project. I thought this was worth noting. The delivery guy Frank arrived on time the day we planned 1/14/03 and dropped off all of the materials required for the installation. shortly after he arrived the installation crew led by Chang (?) very friendly, polite and professional guys. They placed drop cloths on the floor at the front door and carried all of their materials up to the 3rd floor. John arrived on day one introduced me to crew and walked Chang through the project as he envisioned it happening. These guys worked nonstop for 3 full days. John told me the project should not take more than 4 days. On day 4 the guys were trying to get the ducts in some of the intricate corners of my home and it was getting late into the evening like 5:30pm. Chang came to me as said he needed to stay late maybe another 2-3 hours and asked if it was ok because he wanted to finish that day. I didn't mind. so I said sure. Shortly after that he came back to me and said he called the office and they are going to send some more people to help him. A few minutes later 2 more guys came in and 30-45 minutes later the team was done. Key Points -They did exactly what they said they were going to do. -They started on time and ended as expected -They cleaned up when done leaving little to no mess - They were professional - They provided a 10 page list of references - They provided guarantees of the work and system - They openly communicate with you to let you know what's happening (Mainly for the inspections)
Description of Work: This was a full replacement of a central air system in a 3 story historic home. To be more specific, this service included: 1. Installing all ducts on the 2nd and 3rd floors. 2. Installing an air handler in the attic and a compressor outside. 3. Reconnecting the electrical work to the main panel in the basement. 4. Replace all old vents from the old system with drywall instead of leaving open holes.. 5. Obtaining a permit 6. and scheduling inspections This was coordinated around a separate structural project.

Estimate seemed really expensive but there was little choice in companies who offered this High Velocity air conditioning for older smaller houses. This system saves a ton on space and is super efficient and COLD!! Costs less to run than two window units. Which definitely surprised me. I accepted estimate and scheduled an install time that had to be scheduled way out because company was so busy. Company ended up trying to reschedule and reschedule but eventually a date was secured. It was hot in August and the crew was a little discombobulated. At least 3 of the crew were boys who didn't seem to have much "work" experience and did silly things like lay the Exchange in the attic on top of wiring to create a pinch, step through the lathe ceiling and run the wire in the basement like there were no wiring running standards. The outside unit was a serious challenge to get level for some reason. I think because the young man didn't level the area first. I guess he hoped he could skip that?? and no one would notice? Silly details like this that you would expect if you hired your high school aged reluctant son of a neighbor. I was able to catch all of these issues and the team was very responsive. Silo covered the cost and repair for the ceiling. The crew leader fixed the pinched wires. I insisted that the outside unit become level and I coached the wire running lad. The main contact for the job forgot to order the filter that went with a component of the system. But he was able to locate one after a week and installed it. Over all I was surprised at the level of experience and professionalism but I was very glad for the final product. I would recommend them and use them again. I would make sure that I had an eagle eye on the crew's work. Maybe the lead crew should have supervised better? I did have to vacuum dust and wipe down walls where hand prints and smudges from the drilling happened. I also have to sand down where the hole drilling broke off more plaster from the lathe than was necessary and the crew hand mudded in plaster to patch.
Description of Work: Ran high velocity air supply tubes. Outside condenser, attic exchange installed. Lennox. Installed circuits and wiring. drilled holes for air supply tubing, installed the ceiling vent for the return.

It went well overall. See above.
Description of Work: Sila installed my central AC a few years ago. We live in a 100 plus year old house and they did an incredible job. Last year we did an addition and switched out one AC unit for a bigger one. On both jobs, John Trancucci, the manager we worked with, was friendly, knowledgeable, responsive and easy to work with. The installers were neat, quiet and always cleaned up afterwards. I have recommended them to anyone who is thinking about central AC. Since then I have used them to keep tabs on my heating system. The same technician comes every time and is friendly, efficient and totally trustworthy. He even has a key to my house! Need I say more. The $225 I spent was for a service plan for my boiler.

We received several quotes and were expected the high velocity system to be very expensive. However, the quote was actually competitive with a standard system due to the expense of adding ductwork to our old and oddly laid out house. They were able to start the work within a few weeks and it took less than one week to complete. We were pleasantly surprised by the lack of mess in the house. During the week it was installed, their work was unobtrusive. No cleanup was required either during or after installation. Our summer cooling bills are now lower without the window units and running the fan with our radiator heating results in a more evenly heated house in the winter, which was an unanticipated benefit.
Description of Work: Installed high velocity air conditioning system in our single family home built in 1900.

John, our sales consultant, visited us promptly after we expressed interest in the high velocity air conditioning system. He was extremely thorough in evaluating our technical needs for the system and appeared to have substantial experience in retrofitting older homes with air conditioning systems. His assessment of our needs was superior and more thoughtful than those of other companies of which we requested an estimate. John carefully selected the technicians for our installation based on the complexity of our layout. The project was scheduled within a reasonable time period and the technicians arrived as promised. They worked diligently and kept a predictable work schedule for the duration of the project, despite working during August heat. They were very professional, consulting us appropriately on decisions about where to place ducts and equipment in our home, giving us options where they could. The technicians were extremely neat in their work, minimizing debris and cleaning up at the end of each workday. John, our sales consultant, visited daily to ensure that the job was progressing as planned. He also gave us a recommendation for a carpenter who could make a window seat to cover the large duct required on the third floor. We were extremely pleased with the system and have been using it regularly. The only area in which I was not as pleased with the company's services was their scheduling of post-installation testing and customer orientation. The office staff proved frustrating to work with in scheduling post-installation visits, expecting me to schedule appointments with limited notice without asking for my availability or demonstrating respect for my schedule. This is an area for improvement for the company.
Description of Work: Unique Indoor comfort (now Sila) of Glen Burnie installed a 3 and 2 ton high velocity air conditioning system in our older, 5-bedroom home. They met with us several times to evaluate our cooling requirements, installed 2 Lennox air conditioners outside, and 2 Space Pak air handlers in our home. They installed ducts throughout our home and installed intake units as necessary. Due to the size and layout of our house, one large tube was required which spanned the width of our third floor bedroom to deliver cooling to both sides of the house. They visited our home post-installation to check the integrity of the system.

It didn't. We went with another contractor.
Description of Work: The gentleman came out and gave us the usual company line, telling us how they were much better than the competition. We told him that the price range he was quoting us was out of our range, but that we would at least consider thier estimate. The real insult came later when we recieved the email containing the detailed estimate. Not only was the price way above and beyond anything else we received, but that they expected the customer to do their own electrical work. A professional that charges high prices should AT LEAST include the electrical work associated with it. Unless you've got money to burn, don't go with these guys.

Upon arriving to the member's home at the scheduled time, we discussed their options. We spoke about the ideal solution for their home being the more expensive option however they wanted to see the proposal. I mentioned that we are not often the least expensive company, the members seemed to be fine with this and were eager to see the estimate. As a result the estimate was promptly sent to them the very next day outlining the options that we discussed. We would never recommend for a customer to do the electrical work themselves this must have been a misunderstanding. We are sorry that the members were not happy with the price but we pride our selves in being knowledgeable, prompt, and professional and would love to speak with the members to clarify the estimate.

I thought that they use the most scientific and technologically advanced systems that I have ever known of. They are extremely professional and were magicians in hiding all of the duct work. They cleaned up and left no mess at all. They were very fast and once they started the job they finished it in two days. It was all new duct work which is their specialty, and it works flawlessly.

Great. The representative came to the house to meet with me, examine and take measurements of the space, explain the system, and answer any questions. The scheduled around my schedule. Their guys were clean, professional, courteous. They finished the job within the timeframe that was negotiated. Their representative followed up with me to ensure all was satisfactory.

They were to come out and look to see if my furnace could be moved to the attic. Someone did come out, by the name of Mike. He told me he would get me the quote the following morning. It has now been 2 weeks and I have not gotten a quote and have called 3 times. Someone finally called me to ask me about putting a high velocity system in of $15,000, but never gave me a quote for what we discussed.

AFTER REVIEWING THE CUSTOMER'S REQUEST TO MOVE THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FROM A CLOSET TO THE ATTIC, IT WAS UNIQUE'S EXPERT OPINION THAT THIS COURSE OF ACTION WAS ILL ADVISED. WE DECIDED IT BETTER TO STEER AWAY FROM DOING THIS WORK RATHER THAN RISK PERFORMING AN INSTALLATION THAT ULTIMATELY WOULD LEAVE THE CUSTOMER UNSATISFIED. THE ALTERNATIVE OF A HIGH VELOCITY SYSTEM WAS DISCUSSED. ADMITTEDLY, THE PRICE FOR THIS OPTION MAY HAVE BEEN HIGHER THAN THE CUSTOMER EXPECTED. HOWEVER, OUR REPRESENTATIVES DID GIVE AN HONEST ASSESSMENT OF THE SITUATION AND COMMUNICATED OPTIONS TO THE CUSTOMER. WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLARIFY THIS ISSUE.
