I used this company several times over a period of a few years. They installed a new HVAC unit at my house. The unit has broken down at least once per summer ever since it was installed. Last summer it broke down 3 times. B&E no longer returns phone calls at all and none of the repairs were covered by a warranty. I had to hire two different companies last summer to do repairs. This "new" AC unit that was installed at a good price, has cost me over 10k in the last 5 years.

I've been very pleased.  Actually one time I even had raccoons come in and mess up some of our heating and air conditioning stuff and they came in and dealt with that issue and got it working again.  They had chewed through some of the insulation and got into the furnace itself in the summer.

I pay for a service contract for 2 separate units, both air conditioning & furnace. I have two of each.  I have been using them for a number of years already.  They seem to be thorough when they find the problem they address it.  They answer questions I have about different options.  They're just easy to work with.

I've had consistently positive experiences with B&E over the last four years and I highly recommend them. I have a regular maintenance contract with them.
In April 2012 they installed a new HVAC system for us, for a very reasonable price, and it worked great. However, because it was just a single system with no zoning (as per the original house design) we found that upstairs would end up much warmer than downstairs in the winter. Also, the air would get very dry because of the heating. So we asked B&E to add zoning to the system and to install a humidifier as well. They were able to do the upgrade in one day, with minimal disruption, and for a very competitive price (because it was off-season). The zoning works extremely well (two thermostats: one upstairs, one downstairs). There were some snags in getting the humidifier to work correctly, which required a series of follow-up visits, but they stuck with it until I was satisfied that the problems were fixed (and there was no additional charges for the many hours of extra work they put into it).
All of the B&E employees we've dealt with have been friendly, professional, diligent, and committed to complete customer satisfaction. I also appreciated the fact that they took the time to explain the work they were doing and they were very open to input from the customer.

The technician who came to check the air conditioning for the year, was up in my attic, and came across a stinky, dead squirrel up in my attic, and my wife had gloves in the garage, and he graciously took care of it, and removed it. I can't speak highly of them, they are the greatest. I found them on Angie's List. They do great work, and I really appreciate their work.

I can't speak highly of them. They are just the best. We had to have both our air conditioning replaced and the furnace replaced. I have a service contract with them, they come out and check my air conditioners, and then come out and check my heaters.

I purchased system from B&E in July 2013.  I went with B&E because of the 3 estimates they were almost the lowest, but it was a  better system(a Trane). The system installation went great! The staff have always been friendly and courteous. 
Recently I was having a problems with the system not cooling as it should have been.  Come to find out after some diagnostics, it was a leak that had developed in the coil line.  Fortunately, the equipment was under warranty. The repair was done quickly. Shane is great to work with you and very professional while Dawn(who works in the office) is very pleasant.  I look forward to a continued and long term relationship with this company.

The service guy was great. He was on time and answered all my questions. He reviewed finding of both units. He explained that one unit was older and may need to be replaced sooner and why in terms that I could understand. He gave me information on new units and reviewed the differences between models. There was no pressure or push to replace my unit - just information. My air conditioner and heat have been working great. This review is late so I could use my units through both seasons and give accurate and through information.
Response from B & E Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc
"[member name removed], Thank you for your Kind words. I will tell my Tech you liked him. On these hot days it helps motivate the guys. B&E wants your business, and we want happy customers. Thank you for doing business with us. Our family's thank you to. Eddie"

I have done business with them since 1996 and will continue to do so. In general for the most part I've been very happy with them.
Response from B & E Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc
"[Member name removed], thank you for being a long time customer. We try hard to get you our best. We work hard at the shop doing training on old and new equipment. We sent out Installers and Techs to Classes at Carrier and Trane. We have a training room at the shop to keep our employees informed on the latest equipment, and tools so we can be ahead of our composition. Thank you for using B&E Air and Heat. We know you can use other people. So we try to stay ahead of the 2 men and a truck. Call us anytime. We want your Business Eddie"

The installation took most of the day and they did have to leave a couple times during installation.  After they left we noticed the house was not getting warm, even though the thermostat showed it was on heat.  We called and they came right back and found that the heat and air were switched.  They fixed it and the house warmed up.
Then around the end of February the unit started making a loud noise whenever it came on.  I called and they sent someone out, but I didn't have time to get home from work and my son was there.  They apparently thought I had a problem with the unit outside and did not check the inside unit.  I called them back and told them it was the inside unit and I wanted to be there when they came out.  They called the next and gave me enough time to get home.  We turned the unit on and they heard the noise, found the problem and said that I needed a new motor - that it was a new Trane unit and they should have them in stock.  They would check and let me know when they could install the new motor and told me that it was okay to run the unit, if I could put up with the noise.  I was afraid to use it not knowing if I was doing more damage or not.  They called the next day, said they had the new motor and that they would be out that afternoon.  They showed up when they said they would, replaced the motor and things are running great again.


Response from B & E Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc
"[member name removed], sorry the motor was out of balance. This happen in my opinion because Trane, Carrier, and all of the people that make the furnace, Coils, AC units buy there parts from China, Mexico, and third world country's If it was made in the USA small stuff like this would not happen. B&E hires only US citizens. We drug test. We have a lab and work room at the office to train our installers and Tech's to do the best job. So we can overcome a motor that is not balanced. Just like my New Ford Truck the Chip in the Key would not sink with the truck so it would not start. More China cheap parts. But i will say thank your for your business. We want you to get on our Service Maintenance Plan. Called the PPSA B&E comes out 2 time a year to keep the equipment working they way it should for many years to come. We thank you for your trust and work you gave us. We try hard. Eddie"

INCLUDES FALL INSPECTION LATER IN THE YEAR FOR THE PRICE SHOWN ABOVE.
Response from B & E Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc
"Sorry that you feel that 2 trips to your house and give you service first before non-service contract customers and no overtime charge on Sat and Sunday calls Is not worth the $179.00 per year. We have not changed our Service Contract price in 10 years. It should be about $100.00 more per year. It cost $7000.00 more today then 10 years ago for a New Truck. Gas is up from 10 years ago. We haft to pay our service Tech's More then 10 years ago. Our Insurance on liability, Trucks, building, and health has doubled in 10 years. The cleaning products have doubled in 10 years. Our price for algae treatment for your drain lines cost $120.00 we give it free to contract customers, the price to clean the Condenser coil on the AC unit If we come out to a non-contract customer is $80.00 per cleaning. You get this free. Our check list brings your equipment up to factory fresh condition, so your power bill you can save Hundreds of dollars just on your power bill. We just fixed a Heat Pump where the strip heater was running all the time. The non-ppsa Customer had to pay Duke Energy $606.00 for just 1 month because a mouse shorted out the strip heater causing it to run all the time. We put and spray for pest to stay away from your unit. The point in a service contract is for you to buy something from B&E so we can make a living. The service contract (PPSA) is a loss for us. If my service Tech's do not sell you anything B&E loses money on 2 trips a year. I would be happy for you to be a pardner in our company. We will sell you shares of B&E if you believe we a making a killing. For a 10% share in the company i proposal to sell you 10 % of the company for $100,000.00 and we will pay you 10% of the profit every quarter. We could use the cash and its a great investment. Give me a call and talk to Eddie. We would like all our 916 contract customers a share in the company. But the price of the contract is the normal cost for 70% of all the HVAC company's In Charlotte. Morris is $18.00 a month or $216.00 a year. Sometimes a HVAC company will give you a 1 year new customer special for $99.00 and then the next year raise it to Charlotte average of $169 to $229.00 per unit. Most of the bigger company's will fire tech's if they do not average $400.00 on every visit they make on service contracts. Why? Because we all lose running a Man down the road doing 4 to 5 calls and not making any sells on Ad on's like a UV germ killer that sells for $395.00 or capacitors at $189.00. For 30 years we have heard it all but only 10% complain on high prices? So why not buy a stake in the company. We would like you input on what price we can charge to stay in business. Thanks for your input but high prices after great on time service you must walk in our shoe's to set the price on what we charge. In my shoes I see we are losing over $100.00 a year unless you buy something. So i hope my service tech's treated you fair, Lisa in the office said you were a great customer. Owner Eddie Burkhalter"

It was my semi-annual check-up/tune-up.  In addition to just checking things out (everything was fine) they cleaned the filters on my electronic air cleaning systems and cleaned & washed out the leaves from inside my A/C  compressors.............excellent work.

not good.
Response from B & E Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc
"Thanks for the review. The job was a easy job that the customer made hard. Reading the installing instructions to my men. They put the same Gas Pack we installed for you over 100 times this year. The job was $6200.00 not $7000.00 . I should get a check for the extra $800.00 soon. lol Furthermore, the contract you have with B&E says You need to buy a maintenance program. The same one you have been on from 2009. If you do not get the PPSA service there is no Warranty on the new equipment. For us to honor our Warranty you must let B&E service the System 2 times per year. If not the Warranty is good for only 1 year parts and labor. Per our agreement and B&E extended warranty policies. This has not been done yet. We will sent you another letter. This is the 3 time we tried to contact you .The City Inspector passed the job said it look great. We are the experts. We are sorry you did not like our work. Paul our service manger came to make sure you were happy. You told him you were happy. Your are 4 months behind on the PPSA Maintenance. I will give you 30 more days before we void the Warranty. Thank You."

B & E Air Conditioning first came out and was only at my house for about 5 minutes, and replaced a fuse in the furnace.  The AC started working again, but quickly started to stop cooling all together after about a week.  The AC was freezing up, and I checked to make sure everything was ventilated properly, etc.  I had him come back out, and B & E stated that it was for sure the coil, and needed to be fix and cleaned.  I was quoted $500 for the work.  I was told that it would take at least 2 hours to complete at $150/hour.  He made it sound like it was going to be a much bigger product than it really was.  He then left for an hour to get cleaning supplies. While he did the work, I watched him remove 1 piece of metal, spray some cleaner on the coil, and brushed it with a brush.  At that point, I called the office to make sure everything was done per office standards with charges, etc.  It did not take him even close to 2 hours to fix the AC, and this point I feel over charged.  I have contacted the company multiple times to dispute the charges, and have been getting the run around on call backs, etc.  I believe that I was overcharged by $100, as he had quoted $150/hour, and in reality only did less than 2 hours of work.

"Thanks, Mickey worked on your unit that you have not changed a filter in for years. I give you a F for not changing your filter. It took him 1/2 of his day to clean your nasty furnace and coil."

It turned out okay. On one occasion, there were some troubles with the technician, but he is no longer with the company. We had some difficulty a few weeks ago and they responded very quickly.
Response from B & E Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc
"Yes we had a employee that was with B&E for many years. He had some problems at home that he started bringing to work. We tried. But after getting to many complaints on his attitude we had to let him go. He worked for us over 10 years so we gave him many brakes. His knowledge of the job was no problem. He was smart. We parted friends. B&E got lucky and Hired Paul, a 20 year Army Veteran also hired Mickey that has Nate training, and 20 years of experience with HVAC business. So sometimes it work out for the good. We are like a good Football team now. Ready for the Superbowl. Thank you for doing business with B&E we try Hard. If you need us we will help in any way. Eddie"
