I contacted a few companies about getting my furnace replaced, and I am so glad I went with Yost and Campbell.  I was impressed with their professionalism and expertise right from the start on the phone.  The owner himself came to my home to give me an estimate and happily answered all of my (many) questions!  The technician who came to do the work came right on time.  He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and I appreciated the care he took to protect my floors from getting dirty or damaged.  I am so happy with how well my new efficient furnace works!  I will definitely be recommending Yost to my family and friends whenever they need any heating or cooling work done.  Thank you!

My disappointment in them was they did not analyze the problem properly before they charged me and after they charged me that did not solve my problem. They did not benefit me because and then they found out it was a crack in the thing and the original insulators had done when they put it in. They did not analyze that and they did not see that when they did their part. They been in business a long time and I don't think they did it deliberately.
Response from Yost & Campbell Heating & Cooling

"This job was installed by Another company improperly and had multiple issues. We had to re install and re-route the condensation line. After this was complete we found that the pan to the coil was cracked. I looked high and low for this pan but with the coil being old the part was obsolete. The only thing we could do is offer the coil at an extremely reduced price which she didn't want to do. She just wanted to fix the pan which we won't do because it would have only been a temporary fix and would have definitely leaked again. If another company wants to do a band aid fix that's up to them but for the homeowner and our name we won't."

My tenants could not get the heat to come on. Yost & Campbell determined that it was an emergency switch that we didn't know about (an old house) and they located it and turned it on. They had us look for all possibilities for lack of heat before they came out to save us the service charge, which I appreciated. They installed the system about 5 years ago and have done any and all service. I like them a lot. They are honest, show up when they say they will and are not over-priced.

Our Boiler was not working when I came home. I called Yost & Campbell and they had a technician over within two hours. He was polite clean and explained everything. He could have sold me a new unit but didn't. He changed the Gas valve and everything has been working perfectly. It was a great experience.

Excellent work!  This past October I had issues with a water heater in my mother's basement.  Upon arriving at her house, I saw that the basement was flooded.  After failing to get in touch with the company who had installed the water heater just a few years earlier, I took a shot on Yost and Campbell (saw a local television advertisement).  After leaving a message at 9pm, I shortly received a call from one of the owners, who informed me that he could swing bye within an hour and take a look.  In addition he told me several steps to take so that more flooding would not occur before he arrived.Within 30 minutes, Kevin arrived and immediately went to work. 
After performing a thorough investigation, Kevin determined that there was an issue with the furnace, as well as the water heater.  Explaining the expense that comes with this type of repair/installment he told me to - talk to mom, compare prices, and get back to him whenever I could. In the meantime, he bought a pump to clean the basement (at 10pm on a Saturday).  After comparing prices, I had Kevin come back Monday and perform the installment.  What impressed me most was that I had the owner overseeing the work that was done.  Regardless of what type of field/industry you are in, bringing someone at the top level in, makes the customer feel better.   There have been no issues since and I was told that if there was ever an issue, I could call and ask to speak to Kevin directly. I would highly recommend both Yost and Campbell and Kevin to anyone who needs any work done with regards to heating or air conditioning.

Unacceptable and unprofessional. If they can not manage an appointment I have little confidence  they can service my furnace.
Response from Yost & Campbell Heating & Cooling

"This is 100% correct. There was an error made in the office which led to a terrible mistake. We have since fixed the issue and I am confident it won't happen again. We did try to make it up by offering to do the work at no charge but understandably the customer did not accept."

"We tried to rectify the situation but the customer was verbally abusive and made threats when speaking to our office staff. Its impossible to fix any problem when someone behaves like this."

The AC is running beautifully now.  I'm sorry we wasted our money on previous attempts to repair the unit.  The agent was professional, courteous and careful not to dirty the light colored carpeting.  We are satisfied with the outcome; the unit has continued to perform well.

We moved into a home with an old, ancient boiler.  We did not have hot water, but when we bought the home a few weeks prior, there was hot water.  Yost told us that it was not a problem they could fix, that the whole unit needed to be replaced.  Another company came to see it,  twisted a few knobs, and we had hot water!  No charge!  Then to fix the heat, they replaced the circulator and we had heat and hot water all winter by just spending a few hundred dollars.  Y & C did not give an honest estimate, or they just lacked the expertise with our old unit.
Response from Yost & Campbell Heating & Cooling

"I went to this job personally after our manager was there. We didn't say that the boiler had to be replaced because it could not be fixed. The homeowner was told it should be replaced because it is over 50 years old and although could still run it has antiquated controls that could pose an unsafe condition in the home. If another company wants to come and put a band aid on a boiler like that it is their perogative but it is not something we will do."

Their quote amount was about $7000.  They are doing the job right now.  The price was right and the person who gave us the quote was very knowledgeable.  He was not trying to oversell us anything like other people.

AGain, we wanted to use Yost as for a problem with our furnace but they were unable to come when expected.
Response from Yost & Campbell Heating & Cooling

"I am very sorry that we didn't get to your home in a timely fashion. With the temperatures going above 100 degrees the volume of calls was so great that we got tremendously backed up. If you have any further comments or if there is any thing I can do to right this situation please call me. -Kevin"

Got three estimates - Sears, Home Depot, and Yost + Campbell. Sears was very professional and made a good presentation when visiting to estimate the job. Unfortunately their price was much higher than Y+C. Also Sears uses contract installers. Home Depot was terrible. Very unprofessional. The gentleman came in, spent about 3 minutes looking at the furnace and came back and said - "we can do the job for $3,500 - and you get no-interest financing from Home Depot." I said, OK - can you give me an written estimate? He said "you want it in writing?". I said yes and gave him my fax number - never got an estimate.

Yost & Cambell was very professional, spent time looking over what needed to be done, and provided some options. This was on a Friday. The gentleman was going to pick up his daughter from college and he said he would try to get the estimate to me by the end of day - but that it might be Monday. I had the estimate later on Friday - so he exceeded expectations. Price was very fair for the work done.

The installers that came were very professional. They worked very efficiently and quietly in the house. Laid-down protection for the floor. The lead installer asked questions about how we changed the filter on the current furnace and created a much better option for the new furnace. The time to complete the job was about 6 hours for both the furnace and hot water heater. The installers cleaned everything up and left everything in order. As they were finishing a supervisor arrived to check and make sure everything was OK and that I was satisfied - he left all of the necessary documents and thanked me for the business.

Very good experience - I'll have them back to do some additional work.

They seemed fine. They were professional and punctual. They contacted me via email without telling me, which wasn’t good. I wouldn’t consider using them in the future.
Response from Yost & Campbell Heating & Cooling

"I take full responsibility for the lack of responsiveness. My foreman and I took a look at how we could run the gas line properly without being exposed as well as the best type of water heater to use in the home. We like to have multiple sets of eyes on jobs to prevent mistakes. In this case we took too long to come to a conclusion. As far as the email I would never email someone without his or her permission. I offereed to drop an estimate off, mail it or email and she said email is fine and gave me her email address. The homeowner is really nice I wish we got back to her quicker I know we would have done a super job!!!"

Yost & Campbell were very professional. They stuck to the price they quoted us and we signed a service contract with them afterwards. They showed us the broken part and had the new part right on the truck because they keep a large stock of parts with them.

we asked for four bids , then narrowed the scope and specifications for boiler conversion I asked for three times for estimated -twice they came in wrong and the third time -no response . So based on the estimating service described above I decided to give the job to the more accurate and responsive contractor

I have used their services in the past too. I have a contract with them and so the annual charge is $170. I have had a very good experience with them. They are timely since they come on time. They are well organized. They respond to your call and they do get back to you. They are very professional. I would certainly use their services in the future too.

They are a local company and are in business since 1935. The owner of the company was very good and I am very happy with the job that they did. In fact, he came out to give me the estimate. They took out the old boiler and put in a new one. They did the work in one day itself. The technicians were excellent and they knew exactly as to what they were doing. There were really no complications. We agreed on a price and it was certainly within the right range. I had made a request and asked the owner for 3 references. In fact, I called those people home at night and one of them volunteered to come out to see the boiler. They were very happy and they were also happy with his service. One of them had a problem and they came when it was snowing on a cold night. His man was there within an hour and he took care of the problem. One guy was a contractor and he had him do his job and was very pleased. I went ahead with the work without any recommendations or references. It was a big job, as it cost me around $6000. The furnace is now working fine. They installed their program and it was a good replacement, as I had the furnace for about 40 years. The price that they charged was very reasonable compared to the other companies. The work was very well done. Their responsiveness to my needs was excellent. I had asked them to work on some minor things once they finished the job. My radiator needed new valve as I have a steam system. So, I had them replace a couple of the valves. They came out the following day after I made an appointment with them, as they didn't have the valves in their truck. They then replaced the valves in the bathroom and also the living room. They were very punctual. I would recommend them to my friends and neighbors. They gave me a year's contract for the maintenance of the boiler which is a part of the package. I would probably continue to use their services in the future too.
