After a few minutes I realized that we had paid a lot of money over the years and deserved service tonight, so I called back and the young lady that answered took care of me quickly. She put me on hold while she called Brandon at ACT to give him the call. Before I got off the phone with this agent Brandon was already calling me. A short time later he arrived at my house and had a new ignitor installed within a few minutes and the furnace was working again.
The furnace is 23 years old and Brandon spent time showing me how I could tell when it would be time to replace the unit. I asked for service contract information and will be cancelling my contract with the current company and getting a contract with ACT. Also, when it is time for a new furnace or any other service I will be calling ACT.
I was completely happy with the service and professionalism that Brandon gave me.
Well I didnt stand around watching the two and quot;White Hand Cand quot; workers and I guess I should have (just to make sure they were actually doing their job). Once the weather starting heating up, I turned on the unit and air conditioner was not blowing out cold air and kept turning off and on every minute or so. I called them up (White Hand C) and they said I needed a new unit since it was soooo old and the bearings were going out and can't be replaced, so they'd send someone out to give me a quote.
I just had a feeling that I was getting snowed. So I decided to check out Angies List for some help. Found great reviews on ACT Heating and Cooling. Called ACT Thursday evening, and Brandon was out first thing Friday AND FIXED IT!!
The unit was very low on REFRIGERANT (actually it was almost completely empty) and found caps and valves loose and dirty inside. Brandon said it didn't look like it had been serviced at all.
Brandon saved me thousands!
Yes, this unit is VERY OLD and I know it's days are limited, but no reason to replace it until it's dead. I will definitely be calling ACT Heating and Cooling from now on. I highly recommend ACT!!!
At the outset, the service call's charges were less than the other two top rated Angie's List providers, But what really sold us is that ACT called to let us know that their technician was arriving an hour earlier than expected. We were overjoyed at this news on such a hot day!
Because we're maintenance fanatics, the only thing needed was to add a little coolant to the outside A/C unit. Brandon discussed this cost before proceeding with the service. We appreciated being told beforehand exactly how much this service call and necessary maintenance would cost.
One of the other highly rated Angie's List providers, Comfort Heating, had worked at this address in the past for a large furnace/HVAC upgrade installation. They did a nasty job on the out take pipe, meaning that it has a condensation problem during the winter and leaks all winter long. Just love constantly emptying out those 5 gallon buckets of dripping water. Even worse, the pipe is all rusted, corroded, nasty and horrible looking. To be fair, we gave Comfort Heating a chance to make this right. They told us that it was the best that they could do and to just live with it. Sorry Comfort Heating, wrong answer!
The ACT tech, Brandon, took one look at the problem and walked us through what would be needed to permanently and correctly fix the problem in the fall before the winter heating season begins. Although we'll have to pay extra to fix something that Comfort had the chance to do correctly twice, we're happy to not give Comfort another dime. Buh-bye nasty pipe and Comfort Heating, hello ACT! Thank you!
quick response, listened to specific needs

ANGELS.
It was 8pm on a Sunday night. I got home from work, my house was 42degrees. Was going into -6 degree night, and had to be back to work at 0700. They came out within the hour and fixed my furnace which was not igniting. Now I will sign up for the monthly program which includes twice a yr cleaning. Very nice and courteous gentleman, and Penny answered the phone. .
They had installed my furnace approximately 5 yrs ago, and did a fine job then. Got it done, no problems
I have always received same day service, even on the holidays. This particular time, my folks' motor in their air conditioning unit was acting funny, and within 4 hours, Brandon was there diagnosing the problem. He found the motor was bad. He made a few calls and found that there was one located in Idaho, but it wouldn't be here to Billings for a few days. But wait! He went to his work van and found one! He was able to replace the old motor with the new one and it has a one year warranty on parts and labor. The time he was there to when he finished the job was about an hour. Awesome! I would highly recommend customers to call this company for services and repairs. Five stars from me.
