They are technically quite competent. One of the few companies that knows about zone heating.
They installed my Carrier 80% standard single speed furnace in Jan 2008. They were the lowest bid - $1,970. Just before that, I'd gotten a coupon in the mail from a competitor advertising a $49 furnace tune up. That sounded great, but was just a bait & switch to get into your home and try and sell a new furnace and other services. That company actually came out and quoted me $3,200 on an Amana 80% 2 speed furnace. I thought that was high, so I called two other companies. Flare quoted me $1,970 for a Carrier single speed. Greg the sales person explained a 2 speed would probably save me $1-$2 a month during the winter in my condo but cost a few hundred more and was not worth it for me.
Yes, they charged me $109 to come out and not $49 but that coupon experience taught me nobody is going to come out to your home for $49 unless its a bait and switch. When I told the Flare service person (Wayne?) this story today, he told me the company who did that is now out of business.
My heat bill with the new Flare furnace is usually around $25-$35 in the winter since I got the new furnace from Flare and that's with the thermostat around 69-71..
However, in the middle of that night, the furnace quit working and I awoke to a 55 degree home. I have two gas fireplaces, so it was not a dire emergency. I contacted Flare and they arranged for a technician to come out later that day. In the meantime, I recycled the furnace controls and checked the new wiring. The furnace turned on. The technician arrived and checked the installation. He tightened some connections but could find nothing amiss and could not diagnose the cause of the furnace malfunction.
I don't know it the cause of the furnace malfunction was loose wiring in the humidifier installation or some other phantom problem, but Flare responded quickly and stood behind their product and installation. They did not bill me for the service call to check the wiring, even when we could not determine if their installation was at fault. I would use them again.
