For years, we had a contract with  ARS to do semi-annual inspections and service on our home's heating and cooling systems. We paid a flat fee for that service and were satisfied.
In our fall inspection last August, the ARS  technician said that our 10 year old system  had leaks in the compressor coil and that it  had to be replaced immediately.   A sales rep was out in two blinks with an estimate of $6371.00.
We called another provider who has done repairs for us in the past, and who replaced another system. That technician brought out his leak detector first and found zilch. Nada. He spent close to an  hour in that stifling attic, where the system is located, and didn't find anything amiss, either with his meter or by close visual inspection. (ARS guy said the holes were "numerous" and like pinholes.) The second man explained that the meter is extremely sensitive to ANY hint of coolant, yet it  registered nary a hint.
My husband was receiving calls from the high pressure salesman wanting to know when the work could be scheduled. My husband  finally just told him it couldn't be, without saying why.  When the statement arrived for this year's inspection contract, he wrote a letter saying why we wouldn't renew. We just today received a refund check, but no note,  letter,  call from the business, nothing.
While not wanting to say some of ARS employees are outright crooks, it appears they might  not be completely   honest in their dealings. What is absolutely certain is that whoever is running the show is unprofessional and doesn't care if longstanding clients take their dollars elsewhere.
Our message to consumers: Take the time, and spend the money, to get a second opinion. The $100 inspection fee saved us many thousands of dollars we would have spent unnecessarily.
Response from ARS Rescue Rooter
"My name is Dave Dombrowski and I am a Manager with ARS (cell 919-291-4682) I am very sorry for the misunderstandings and I would like to call you to discuss these concerns. I would appreciate your help in correcting the negative impression we left with you since it appears from our notes that we attempted to keep you involved at all times. I am also confused since the Angie listing shows that we completed the work on March 21, 2014 but ARS has not been to your home since August 2, 2013, almost 8 months ago. As it relates to the air conditioning, on May 5, 2012 ARS performed a prepaid tune up of your system. At that time we noted that it had a loss of refrigerant and improper pressure and recommended determining the source of the leak. All repairs were declined and there was no charge. The next cooling tune up was performed on August 1, 2013 and the refrigerant charge was still low and had improper pressures. ARS performed a leak search and marked the spots where the leaks were discovered. We did not suggest repairing without having an option to replace the unit due to the age and refrigerant type. The project manager came the next day and presented an option to replace the system. The project manager notes indicate that he did call between 8/2 and 8/5 and was told on 8/5 that you had someone else determine that there was no leak. We offered to send at no charge a supervisor to show you or the other technician the marked leaks but you declined. Again there was never a new charge for these services. The next time we contacted you was in January of this year to schedule your prepaid heat tune and you requested a refund of your agreement. We sent a check as requested. I am very concerned that we have a difference of diagnosis between our technician and another company especially when the records indicate a loss of refrigerant. I would like to offer again to have our supervisor return to your home and show you the leaks that were found in your system. In addition, I would be glad to pay for an additional service call from the other HVAC Company to meet us there so we can get you the peace of mind of having a correct answer instead of two opinions. Again I deeply apologize if we treated you in any manner that was not 100% above board and professional and would like to assist you in discovering if you indeed have any problems with your systems. Please feel free to call me at you convenience. Thank you."

They had very professional workers and they were very respectful. When they came in the house, they covered up their shoes with their little booties and that kind of thing. The work that they did seemed to be fine and my interactions with them had been good.

I am very pleased with the service.  The plumber came on time, was polite, and switched out the toilet quickly, with excellent workmanship and cleanliness.  The new toilet works great.  We have no complaints whatsoever.

My home is next door to our rental property.  In fact we tie into the city water line ahead of the rental property.  We do not have any issues with excessive water pressure.  An appropriate repair would have been to replace the packing inside the faucette or  if necessary replace the valve.  I called to complain and the technician stuck to his story.  I am an architect who designs comercial buildings..  I know that the typical pressure the ciy provides to typical residencial neighborhoods ranges between 35-60psi.  425psi pressure would have caused serious problems with all the fixtures in my rental property, our house, and anyone in the neighborhood who is connected to the city water line.  Since this incident, we have not asked them back.

"I would appreciate it if the homeowner would call me directly since we do not have any record of ever servicing their home. I feel they have us confused with someone else. I have tried to call 411 to get a # to call and there is no record. Please call David Dombrowski 919-291-4682 Angies list team - can this rating be adjusted?"

They were very organized and arrived on time with a large crew to remove the prior system.  Electricians accompanied the crew to check wiring for new system.  They put down drop cloths and used slippers over shoes inside house.  Person giving estimate was very well-informed about energy efficient systems and had records of the brands they had installed and the frequency of difficulties with each.  Also had rebate information from Duke Energy prepared for simple submission.

Verysatisfied.  ARS was prompt in setting up appointment.  Agent was very personable and competent.  Work was done efficiently.  Agent inquired about any other plumbing, heating etc. needs but was not pushy.  Exactly what I wanted.

They were very quick and responsive with their bid.  They are also professional and their techs know what they're doing.  They explain things very well.  We had received two other bids when replacing the heating & AC unit and all three estimates were very close but we went with ARS because we've had other systems replaced with them and have a service contract with them.  They also offered a senior discount off the heating & AC unit and a discount for having multiple units with them.  When they repaired the water line they managed to make this repair without damaging any of our trees.

I've had a heating/cooling contract with them for several years and have never been disappointed in their service. They replaced the last heat pump I had and I considered the price and professionalism to be very good.

It worked out great. They showed up on time, did a great job and cleaned up. Everything was as good as you could hope for. I had two toilets put in and I think that each one was $249.

Response from ARS Rescue Rooter
"I had a very pleasant conversation with the homeowner and she agreed we were correct in identifying a safety problem and we did a fine job technically. She did feel that our communication skills needed improvement (always a challange with technicians) and that we did not explain options properly. I apologized and sent the homeowners a check to have dinner on ARS as appreciation for their feedback and hope to retain them as customers Any question they can call me back at 919-291-4682 David Dombrowski Manager thank you"
