Get matched with top central vacuum system service pros in Silver Spring, MD

"showed up at the agreed upon time. Repaired the system without trying to sell me anything I didn't need. Very professional!"

"The technicians that came out were very professional and knowledgeable. They installed a complete heat pump system and did not leave until I was completely satisfied. The original thermostat that came with the system did not work, so installed a temporary thermostat and order a new one. It was installed the next day. All techs that came to my home were very professional and knowledgeable, the service was great"

"Julius, Israel and another crew member arrived on time and gave me the estimate as well as they shared the pictures of my neglected system. They worked on both my homes and did a very thorough job of cleaning the ducts. They were efficient, knowledgeable and respectful. I will hire them again!"

"We signed up for a forced hot air duct cleaning job for a fixed “bargain” price of $375. Russell and David (nice guys) showed up right on time and cleaned the air ducts. We were then informed that during the work a significant amount of mold had been found in our air duct system. This was documented by several photos on Russell’s smart phone. Russell thought the conditions found amounted to about 7 out of 10 on a scale of mold severity. We were then presented with a proposal for mold remediation at a cost of $2,400. Concerned, we said we would consider the offer and sent them on their way. Next morning “Jim” (from our heating contractor) arrived for our scheduled checkup. We explained the mold issue to Jim who thought that condition to be highly unlikely. Jim “opened” the air duct system in several places. We saw only tiny hints of mold, nothing which resembled Russel’s photos or would require remediation. Our son knows of a person in the heating business who thinks that the conditions “found” are unlikely and further suggested that, if the mold was that bad, the air ducts would need to be replaced rather than remediated. I Googled “duct cleaning scams” and found that mold discovery accompanied by unnecessary proposed expensive remediation projects are quite common. Reading reviews of All-Start Duct Cleaning on Angie’s List revealed that mold had been found in several of those cases. We decided not to accept the proposed mold remediation project."

"I was lucky enough to have someone refer me to BlueStar Air Mechanical when my AC started acting up. The home warranty company confirmed that it was busted, but their mechanic was unreliable. After contacting a couple of other companies and having high quotes, I contacted Danny at BlueStar. The next morning (on a Saturday, nonetheless) I met Rhandel who quickly gave me a quote to replace my HVAC system (furnace and condenser). Rhandel was very nice and thoroughly explained my options. My home has two HVAC systems, so he also added a quote for the second system (which was on its last legs, too). The systems recommended were upgrades to what I had (increasing 1/2 ton on each system). To accommodate this, BlueStar included extra ductwork for me so that my house could accommodate. We met on a Saturday, agreed on a price on Monday, and everything was installed on a Thursday. They sent two crews and these guys worked hard for 12 hours straight to make sure both units were completed that day. I was very happy with their pricing and service. I have already recommended them to people I know in need of HVAC service. Pros: Pricing, options, promptness, service. Cons: 3% surcharge for credit cards"

"Saved me $$! BGE home checked my furnace and said I needed to replace lots of stuff. Doug came out and identified the real problem and saved me hundreds of dollars. Definitely would recommend this company."

"Great job! Very friendly! Only down side was that I didn't get any before and after photos of the air ducts."

"Beltway HVAC was fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone! Ryan came out and gave us a quote that was very reasonable for a complete AC replacement, and we had it scheduled to be done within the week. The techs were knowledgeable, super friendly, and thorough and did a fantastic job! I was given a walkthrough of the new system when they were done, and the techs even tried to help fix our wonky screen door. Amazing, amazing customer service, I highly recommend them."

"I had used them before.  It was favorable.  They also did some minor repairs and everything went well.  I didn't have any problems. "

"I called Buric (on advice of friend/neighbor) when A/C wasn't working and I asked what to expect in their charges. The guy on the phone told me they charge a flat $95 (or $99?) for driving out here. So I asked if they charge by the hour or half hour. No, he said, by the job. He couldn't give me an estimate because he didn't know what was wrong. So, a technician came out and diagnosed my unit (which blew air but didn't get cold) as old & dead and needing replacement. So, in my mind, there was really there was no job outside of replacement. In their mind, they did a job by taking 10 minutes to look at the unit and tell me there was nothing to be done for it. So, instead of charging me $99 for coming out, they charged me $230 for coming out AND telling me the unit couldn't be fixed. That irritated me. Then I asked for a bid for new system. The guy went out and talked on the phone to his boss and come back with a written bid. I later compared it with my second bid from another co. Buric's bid was higher than the company I selected, but not enough to sway me if I had liked their way of doing business. However, the previous (over)charge, which was not explained by the guy I spoke to when I first called, left such a bad taste in my mouth I couldn't go with them. So that extra $130 they made cost them around $5000. I hope it was worth it to them. BTW, if I had gone with them, they would have subtracted the $230 from the bid, but I just couldn't get past it. So, I am not saying anything about the quality of their work--it may be just fine, but I don't like the way they did business."
