They took care of everything, cleaned up, kept us informed with what they were doing and when they had to go get more parts kept us informed. It took us a few weeks because of the weather but they kept us very informed. Overall a good experience.

They are fantastic. When they serviced our old unit they were right in line with everyone else. They always send the same guy which i love, we know him and are comfortable him. We are comfortable enough we leave our door unlocked he comes in, does what he needs and locks up. They are very good.

"So many of the units we install never have problems, but occasionally some do and this was one of them. Luckily, the Waterfurnace 10 year Parts and Labor warranty covered the minor repair. So again, thank you for your review, and even more, thank you for your business."

"Thank you for the review. I believe we had an appointment to stop back out to provide estimate of relocating the evaporator coil for better operation, but the appointment was cancelled and was not rescheduled. Please call us if you have any questions or concerns, or would like to get back on the schedule for our comfort specialist to come out."

"It's been 2 years since the a/c replacement and i hope the system is still working well for you. Regular maintenance will keep the system running for years, so please consider having us out for a Tune & Clean on the unit. At the very least, keep changing your filter regularly. We appreciate your business and thank you for this review."

"Thank you for your review and i appreciate your honesty. It may seem like a large repair bill for an hours worth of work. We are flat rate for our service department, so the price quoted is the price paid, regardless of how long the repair may take. Had it taken longer or had we run into other problems with the repair, the price would not change. With that said, in addition to the the sight glass, we also replaced the boiler drain on the unit as well, which was included in that price. Again, i want to thank you not only for your review, but for your business. If you ever have any other service needs in the future, please let us know. Thank you, Bryan Echols Echols Heating & A/C"

I asked for an initial inspection.  I was not home, so my father was at the house to let him in.  My furnace was checked and the diagnosis of a new heat exchanger was given.  I was hoping that it wouldn't be the heat exchanger but I figured it would be.  So there were no surprises in the diagnosis.  He was very straightforward in his evaluation of my furnace.  He stated that he would wrap the cost of the service call into the cost of the heat exchanger.  I waited several weeks before scheduling the replacement due to the high cost of a heat exchanger.  When I mentioned what was previously discussed about the cost of the service call, the owner disagreed that this was something that they offered to their clients.  I was very surprised to hear this and disappointed that the message was not communicated from the employee to the owner.  It took several more phone calls and a few more discussions, but the owner finally agreed to the offer made by the employee.  I also signed up for their service agreement, for which they will return this fall to prepare my furnace for the winter.
They did an excellent job on all of the work and were very courteous even though the miscommunication between employee and ownership resulted in some poor customer service.
Response from ECHOLS HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING INC.
"Thank you for your review. I apologize for the miscommunication between our tech and the office staff. It is our policy to credit the diagnostic service call when a customer chooses to replace equipment, but not for a repair. With this being a repair, the diagnostic would not usually be credited, which is why you received the response you did when you called in to schedule. As you mentioned, we did deduct the original service call off of the repair since this is how it was explained to you. Again, I apologize for the miscommunication, but i'm glad you were satisfied with the overall result. Thank you again for taking the time to submit a review. If there is ever anything else we can do for you, please let us know. We'll see you this fall for the maintenance on your furnace. Thank you again, Bryan Echols Echols Heating & A/C"

I have used Echols for years. Never an issue. Ever! The $ 179 is for the service contract. Well worth it. My central air unit quit in the middle of summer,called,they came right out,fixed it in no time at all & I haven't had a problem since. If they see something they feel will need attention in the near future they give you a heads up & you decide what you want to do. Absolutely no pressure. Highly recommend.
Response from ECHOLS HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING INC.
"Thank you very much for your business. We do strive to be a non pressure organization. If we see signs of possible equipment failure, we absolutely bring it up to our customers, but in a way that will allow them to make an informed decision. Service contracts do lengthen the life of HVAC equipment. It doesn't always prevent a failure, but by testing the equipment on an annual basis we can often catch a failing part before your air conditioner/furnace goes out. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review. If there is ever anything we can do for you, please do not hesitate to reach out. Sincerely, Bryan Echols Echols Heating & A/C"

We needed a new heating/AC system. We live in an area that until recently had no gas line so have been using an electric heat pump system.  We wanted to switch to gas but, after consulting the gas company and for reasons that have to do with the difficulty/cost of bringing the line into our house we chose the electric system. Echols helped us through this. They did not try to oversell us (which another company did). They were extremely efficient and did everything very carefully.  The system has now been through a tough winter and we are very pleased with the result.



Response from ECHOLS HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING INC.
"Thank you very much for posting your review. I'm glad to hear you're pleased with the Carrier Infinity w/ Greenspeed heatpump system installed in your home. Even more, I'm proud that our non-pressure sales approach made an impact on your decision. For customers that do not have natural gas (or at least easily/economically installed), this is among the most energy efficient systems available. Thank you again for your review. Please let us know if there is ever anything else we can do for you. Sincerely, Echols Heating & A/C"

I had purchased an abandoned foreclosed property that had all copper plumbing stolen.  As a result, most of the Freon and oil had leaked from the central air unit.

The Service technicians were professional and extremely efficient completing the removal of the old HVAC and installation of the new HVAC system in one day.
They installed a 96% efficiency two stage furnace and a Infinity two stage central air conditioner with a infinity thermostat.
My wife was home during the install on a very hot day. By the time I got home the entire house was already cool.
Carrier isn't cheap, but the quality of the superior equipment more than makes up for the premium price.
I would highly recommend Echols heating and cooling

Response from ECHOLS HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING INC.
"Thank you very much for the review. I will pass along the kind words to our technicians that worked on the job. The high efficiency Carrier Infinity System you purchased is among the best out there and I'm certain you'll be satisfied. If you have any questions, concerns, or if you even need help setting a custom screen saver picture to your Infinity Touch Control, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you again for the review. Bryan Echols"

Professional, quick, accurate service & installation.
Response from ECHOLS HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING INC.
"Thank you very much for your business and for taking the time to fill out the Angies List review for the work completed. I'm glad you were satisfied with all aspects of the job. I wish the price could have been a little less, but these were add on air conditioners and not replacement units. This required an electrician to wire the units properly, which adds cost to the job. Nevertheless, I really do appreciate your honesty and l hope we can be of service to you in the future. Thank you again for your business, Bryan Echols Echols Heating"

The service wasn’t worth the money. They came by for a few minutes and told me I should call a provider more local to me.
Response from ECHOLS HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING INC.
"[member name removed], I apologize for the negative experience you had with our company. We did respond to your service request, arrived when scheduled, and diagnosed a failed inducer motor on your furnace. We quoted the repair, however, we did not have the part on our truck and it was not in stock at our local supplier, so a separate trip would have been required. You elected not to have us get the part and indicated you would call if that changed. As for contacting a local contractor, our tech was just being honest with you for future service. We're located in Akron, OH and your property is outside of our service area. The Angie's List big deal is not supposed to be advertised to customers outside of our market, but since you had purchased it we elected to run the service call for you. This has been corrected with Angie's List and should not be a problem for customers in the future. Again, I'm sorry for the bad experience."
