After thinking it over for awhile, I ended up going with Precision Plumbing and Heating. Dan was very professional, and he sold me on Trane, and I'm glad he did! Thank you Dan! Jeff (the installer), installed everything in two days which surprised me because, he had so much to install but, he did it, and he did it well! Jeff did an excellent job, and was professional in every way! I could tell that Jeff had years of experience in installing furnaces, and air conditioners...so obvious!

I had snow tires put on and my oil changed, and they did a great job. My car needs the dealership to connect sensors to the tires, and both the mechanic and the girl at the front desk (who is too knowledgeable to be just a receptionist) made a point to tell me about the fact that my sensor light will come on unless I go to the dealership to have it connected, or get it reprogrammed. I'm fine with this, and knew it already, but they made sure that I was aware so that there were no nasty surprises. Work done quickly and for a very fair price. Would highly recommend!

In winter 07-08 furnace malfunctioned, wouldn't start automatically and had to be reset manually to get through the night. We had 5 HVAC professionals, including Climatron, inspect the furnace. The first HVAC firm came and inspected furnace. He looked at soot visible at vent and saw the soot at the furnace water drain and the orange flame and said we'd have to replace the system. He advised that we go back to Climatron and Lennox and seek help from them as the furnace was only 7 years old. I contacted Climatron and explained the problem and pointed out that the exhaust vent from the furnace was visibly full of soot and dripping water and that the flame was burning orange. Climatron sent a technician out. He proceeded to dismantle furnace and exposed the soot covered part. He called Lennox company to discuss with service agent. They basically said tough luck, if we wanted to clean furnace it likely would cost nearly as much as replacing it and would likely not function properly. Climatron charged me $220 for the service call and while the service technician waited, sent a sales manager to our house to give an estimate for replacing the system. We then asked three other HVAC professionals to inspect system and advise us. They agreed that the furnace needed to be replaced and were all surprised that neither Lennox or Climatron offered any help financially to offset the costs. We decided that we'd prefer not to engage Climatron's services and would contract with a local HVAC firm. Prior to removing old furnace, the installer checked the gas pressure at the furnace. It was lower than specs called for (9.5 vs 10.0 inches column/H2O). In addition, the horizontal portion of the auxiliary vent fan was not level and held water. More problematic was the discovery that the horizontal portion of the exhaust vent from the furnace was sagging for several feet before exiting the wall and held enough considerable water. All of this piping had to be removed and the wall was capped. The vent was redone vertically straight up from the furnace. The water heater also was malfunctioning. The installer thought the exhaust runs were too long and not providing adequate capacity for ventilation. The exhaust vent was redone vertically and the water heater now works perfectly. We informed Climatron of the problems we uncovered. They responded that their \"job supervisor checked over the installation and found no problems\". And that \"Antrim County mechanical Department inspected the installation and approved the final inspection\". (department was dismantled and taken over by State of Michigan shortly after!). We much money undoing Climatron's work. Their written response to my complaint was to point out that their sales rep came at no charge and that their bill for diagnosis was justified. They argued poor maintenance was the problem. I feel both Lennox and Climatron acted unprofessionally and irresponsibly."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/traverse-city/climatron--b-f-s-i-reviews-478098.htm"},"position":9}]}

My experience with Chris Storms at AHS was very positive. He did more than answer my questions. He asked questions that caused me to reconsider the scope of the project -- and I'm very glad I did. Ultimately we decided to leverage the wood furnace to heat and provide hot water for two...

A very personable young man. My furnace is an "octopus" and even though he was not familiar, Mike came to look at it and I believe he will be able to help us maintain it. I will certainly call him for future plumbing and heating needs.

It went well, no unhappy surprises. It was a large project, and Mike was responsible for the major portion. He and his crew installed the boiler, the piping, the slave hot water tank (a.k.a. desuperheater or something like that), and the hot water tubing -- some laid down on the floor from...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts
The most obvious downside is the high upfront cost of buying and installing one of these systems. Additionally, sometimes the system can take a longer time to heat than alternatives like a boiler. Also, if something goes wrong with the geothermal pump, repairs are often significantly more expensive than repairing traditional, above-ground heat pumps.
For most systems, an annual HVAC system service is more than enough. Some homeowners prefer a twice-a-year visit to ensure the system is ready for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. If you need to call an HVAC pro more often than this, it may be time to check if your system is getting old enough for a replacement.
Yes, including optimizing settings and suggesting upgrades if needed.
Yes, technicians check refrigerant levels, loop performance, and system calibration for peak efficiency.
Geothermal systems provide energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and long-term sustainability with minimal environmental impact.
