The technician tried two approaches to convince me that an older HVAC unit should be replaced. First, he recommended that the unit be replaced after a five minute inspection. When asked why, he replied age. I asked if the unit was working properly and he replied he saw nothing wrong but the unit might fail in the future given it's age. He then proceeded to claim that although he could see no cracks in the heat exchanger with a camera, they could still be there. Then he proceeded to the CO scare saying leakage in the heat exchanger could be dangerous...although he could not explain how low pressure flue air could flow into a higher pressure house supply....he then proceeded to test the AC on a 40 degree day and claim the temperature differential was out do spec. No kidding...although no one I can talk to says this is a legit in winter on the air conditioner. They will never be allowed on my property again.

Response from MTB Mechanical Inc
[member name removed], Thank you for your review and we are very disappointed that you were less than satisfied with our service. We're an honest, family owned business serving this area for over 37 years and we train our employees not to use high pressure or scare tactics with our customers; if you felt pressure we apologize. We pulled the GPS report on our technician's vehicle and it shows he was at your home from 12:32 pm until 1:52 pm, and hour and 20 minutes, ample time to do a thorough inspection of your system. The Trane furnace and cooling equipment at your home is 25 years old (average life span is 15 years) and our technician detected 4 ppm of carbon monoxide in the supply air stream coming into your home, there should be zero. This is normally not enough to cause health issues; however it indicates that there is some leakage, and yes low pressure flue air can and does mix into high pressure house supply air. People in this country die every year from carbon monoxide poisoning due to heat exchanger leakage. A breach in your heat exchanger will not heal itself, it will only get larger and since furnaces run more at night when it is colder and occupants are typically sleeping, the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning go unnoticed until it's too late. Not a scare tactic, just a fact. Again, we apologize if you felt pressured by our technician, but he gave you good advice and for your sake and your family's well being, we hope you follow it.

I have an annual contract with them for $270. I've been with them since 2009. They always come when they say they are going to come, and they have been very good in taking care of my heating and air conditioning system. They are fairly expensive, but quality has been good.

They are a pretty good size company. Overall, I’ve had good experience with them. They are prompt and do quality work. I’ve been using their service for years. They were the company who originally put in the equipment for the builder front home so I’ve kind of stuck with for all the years. My only issues with them and all has been I think some of the services they provide, they offer discounts to the people who have maintenance contract and I think the pricing is still a little high. Additionally, I think they’ve been slow to adopt some of the new technologies and be prepared to address new technologies. What I like about them is that they’ve always done decent work and they’ve always showed up on time. Their service has always been available and ready to talk to you and resolving issues that you might be having. My one big negative is that in recent years, we’ve installed some new nest thermostats and we were having a problem and they seemed to ill-equipped to handle the service around the nest thermostat even though I had a contract with them and I ended up paying them for the service call which accomplished nothing and resolved the problem directly next to myself. For this service call, they should have been able to do that but they seem to be ill-prepared even though it’s becoming very common product at people’s home. They should have been prepared to address my concerns with it regardless of whether they install it or not. I think their annual maintenance agreement has been a little pricy over the years.

[Member name removed], It was a pleasure speaking with you on the phone about this experience and learning that our technician did indeed make the correct diagnosis of your thermostat. Since that service call at your home in March of 2013 we have added the Nest thermostat to our product offering along with several other popular Wi-Fi thermostats. Our technicians have received factory training on these products. We look forward to providing service for you for many years to come.

Our technician Brian was prompt, efficient and professional. We are quite pleased with his thoroughness while balancing the vents in our home. He double checked his work, spent time explaining everything to my husband and even went back into the attic to show him how he could adjust the vents himself if he needed to. Overall it was a great experience.

I'd been having an issue with our downstairs heat unit all week. Initially I had another company come out for the repair, twice that same week. They had replaced a motor and on the second visit, just couldn't figure out the problem. Frustrated, I logged into Angie's List and found MTB after reading reviews. I was drawn to the fact they were a family owned company and didn't charge excessive prices. I called before closing on Saturday and had a Sunday morning appointment. My technician, Blaine, called when he was on his way. He was prompt, professional and very friendly. He listened to my description of the problem and right away, had the solution narrowed down. It was just my daughter and myself that morning and he was very patient and thorough - he worked with us outside at the unit, explaining everything along the way during his diagnostic. The solution was such a simple fix and I couldn't have been happier. He also gave me recommendations for care outside and around the unit. I used an Angie's List coupon and was thrilled with the overall cost and the fact there was no extra fee for a weekend service. MTB is for sure my go to for any future issues.

Outstanding service! I called at 2:16PM on a Saturday afternoon and the repairman was at my house at 3:30. I had been trying to get my previous HVAC repairman since 8:30AM, but he never responded. The repairman had it figured out in about 15 min and I had heat by 4:30. He told me all my options and didn't try and get me to buy a new furnace. I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend this company. Professional, prompt, courteous and honest!

The technician showed up earlier than scheduled. He called ahead to make sure it was okay. Unfortunately my husband was the only one home and he works 3rd shift but I was still impressed with the quick response as we had made the appointment the day before. Once the technician showed up he got right to work. He broke down the furnace and diagnosed it as far as he could. He said the heat exchange was bad and showed my husband exactly what was wrong. He also said there may be other issues with the unit but he would not be able to tell without the heat exchange in working order. He gave us the quote for repair and warned us it would be rather expensive. He also set up an appointment for the same day for a "Comfort Consultant" (love the title!) to come out and quote a new unit for us. The consultant came out and was just great! Even my dogs liked him! I asked him also to quote a price to switch from gas to heat pump. He took the time to check the unit and look at the electrical box to ensure we could go to a heat pump if we should choose to without having to purchase a new one. We sat at my kitchen table and he provided a quote. It was much more than I expected but he did explain, in great detail and using terms even I could understand, everything that comes with the new unit installation. My father-in-law is in the industry down in Florida so of course we called him to get his opinion on the service and the price. We told him everything we were told by the consultant. My father-in-law assured us it is a great deal and the warranty is one of the best in the business. We are securing financing to have the system replaced and plan on having MTB come out and replace our 20 year old unit!

This is the second or third time I've had MTB mechanical to my home and every time has been EXCELLENT, just like today. They're extremely flexible and accommodating with scheduling. The technicians are all so polite and respectful of the customer's home, the customer's time and any concerns a customer has is addressed respectfully and professionally on the spot. I have recommended MTB Mechanical multiple times in the past, and I will continue to do so. They're the best.

We would like the opportunity to clarify this review. Unfortunately, from the review we do not know exactly what this member wanted a quote on. If a customer is wanting a quote on a replacement unit or a new system, we send a Comfort Specialist out at no charge to quote that price and review any questions the consumer might have about their system. We do not quote service repairs unless we come out to the house and do a diagnostic on the system and yes there is a charge for that. From experience we have found that a prior company might have diagnosed a problem incorrectly so we are possibly quoting the wrong repair. When we arrive at the house and find out that what they thought was wrong is not the problem, we have the issue of having to go over the system and diagnose the problem that they really have. Or there are people who want us to come out, spend possible hours diagnosing a problem and then say thank you we will repair that ourselves. That is fine except we have to pay our techs and if you want us to diagnose a problem we have to charge for that, we charge a flat diagnostic fee. There are also companies that have people call around town to check on what different companies are charging for repairs so that they can adjust their pricing. We hope that this in some ways explains why we cannot price service quotes without diagnosing the problem ourselves. We thank this member for their review and appreciate the opportunity to explain the situation from our point.

We've had very good success with MTB Mechanical Inc. We've had a maintenance contract with them for about three years. Our air conditioner stopped working about 8:00 at night. I called their answering service and then someone called me back at 8:00 in the morning and we had a technician come out about 1:00. It was a bad capacitor and he replaced it and we were cooled off again. They provide good and competent service. I don't think their prices are fair. I wouldn't say it's a super bargain, but it's fair. Their technicians are very prompt and very courteous and seem to be quite knowledgeable. We recently renewed the service contract with them.

They're very good, they've always been very punctual, I never had any issues with them, the recommendations that they gave on the maintenance and the service in the unit have been pretty decent, overall I'm pretty satisfied with them. I know that there are a lot of cheaper companies out there. They're pretty quick, they answer and pick up the phone when I call them.
Description of Work: We use MTB Mechanical Inc. quite often, we have a yearly contract with them for a maintenance process. They're called mechanical but they do mostly AC and heating. They come about twice a year to evaluate the AC unit before the summer, and before winter they evaluate the heating system.

Service was prompt and professional. Cost was reasonable (and materially less expensive than a widely-advertised local firm's estimate). Initially ordered a wrong-sized coil -- which I never would have known since the system worked anyway -- and they took the initiative to return to replace it right away. They earned my trust and my future business.

We called MTB about obtaining an estimate to replace the AC units in our home. They promptly scheduled a time that worked for us and the estimator arrived right on time. He was very knowledgable and helped provide a solution that met our needs based on what he understood were our intentions for length of time we'd stay in the house, etc. The installers arrived right on time and went right to work... they were professional and did a great job. Very nice job all the way around by MTB!

Response from MTB Mechanical Inc
We appreciate (deleted member name) and any customer taking the time to write a review for us. We would like to note that the $170 was the price contracted to come out twice a year, once for the cooling season and once for the heating season. The review just completed was for the cooling service and our service tech was at the home for 1.75 hours. If you split this amount in half, that was $85 for the cooling service. Considering all the cost involved in stocking & maintaining a service truck to do onsite service, we feel the price is extremely fair. Again, we appreciate the reviews and the opportunity to respond to any customer's concerns.
