I've been using him for 20 years.  Obviously it was February 1st.  It was probably 20 degrees outside.  It was 10 o'clock at night.  The furnace went out.  It was a furnace that he had put in 20 years ago, or 15 years ago.  So, I trusted his judgement.  He came out in the middle of the night and replaced the furnace so the tenants had heat.  I would absolutely use them again.

All A's for these people. This guy was great. I would definitely recommend him again. We didn't buy an Angie's coupon because we got a great Deal from him. I don't recall what he charged but he really....whatever the heck you need to do to measure air conditioning and he explained to us how we didn't need this larger unit. The guy was excellent. He showed up. His crew I like. They were nice people.

"Thank you for the great review! We try to offer great storefront deals for the members that are at great value. These offers should cover most homes however there are some homes that don't quite meet the deal requirements. Even when we come across these homes, we Always provide an outstanding proposal and at a fantastic value. Thank you again for allowing us to complete your mew system and keep us in mind if you or a friend or family is ever in need of a new heating or cooling system. Take care, Steve Collins"

Excellent work from the first meeting with Steve Collins for the estimate as part of our post-inspection review of vendors to replace the original equipment of the home we were going under contract to purchase. His assessment squared nicely with the observations of our retained home inspector. He put forward a no-nonsense, non-high pressure up-selling proposal that was very competitive inclusive of a special offer running for Angie's List members. Steve was on time with all appointments, his installation crew likewise and their work was extremely efficient getting done within the day's time initially estimated. We're very pleased with the purchase, the performance of the equipment we selected (a Rheem system) and would recommend any other Angie's List member to include Collins Cooling & Heating among any you'd call for an estimate.
Response from Collins Cooling & Heating Co

"Thank you for the great review! I'm glad you enjoy your new Rheem heating and air conditioning system. I'm glad that you appreciated my honest opinion on which system was right for your home. I feel that we installed the best system to heat and cool your home without spending the unnecessary cost for super high end system that would have been an overkill and was not needed. Please keep us in mind if you have any friends or family that is in need of a new heating or air conditioning system. Take care Steve Collins"

Angie's List recommended Collins Cooling & Heating Co. We needed a new furnace and air conditioner installed in our home. After comparing prices we decided on this company. Steve Collins, owner along with two other gentlemen arrived on time, cleaned our air ducts and proceeded to remove old equipment and install the new Rheem products. All this was accomplished in one day. Steve and his crew were great and we would highly recommend them. It is important to talk to the person who is actually doing the install rather than a salesman. I would give Steve and him company an A+.

I should have known that when someone takes 3 days to call you back its not going to be good...but on the 3rd day I received a call from the owner...and reluctantly agreed to see him. When we met he was a very pleasant and nice guy.....he explained everything he was going to do and what he had to offer.......and we vaguely discussed price......he did not give me a proposal...or any literature....I asked that he get back to me ASAP...do to the fact that our AC unit is not working...and that its a very hot summer so far...he agreed..... I havent heard from him since....I was going to call and see what happened....but decided not to. Why should I have to call him.....I'm the customer......''TO ME THAT STILL MEANS SOMETHING"! So I wanted to write this review to personally thank this company for wasting my time...and making me wait all that much longer in this heat with no air....... I already hired another company also through Angies...and they are great.....
Response from Collins Cooling & Heating Co

"NO SERVICES PERFORMED: Thank you for the kind words on me being a nice guy and I enjoyed meeting with you. I felt that we had a plan on working through your unique situation. I was trying to work out an acceptable remedy to your situation which can take a few more days when dealing with the city. Our normal procedure to every homeowner is to provide an instant proposal however your situation was a little different. The reason we were not able to give an instant proposal is that your home would require a special variance from the City of Lakewood building department. If you would have only called, I would have let you know that I was still waiting on an answer which can take a while. Once I actually received the answer from the city, and was getting ready to call you, I noticed this review. I understand it was hot and believe me. I was not wasting your time. I spent a lot of time working on this and how we could do it up to standards without destroying your walls in the lower unit. We insist on doing a professional job and one that is totally up to city requirements. After speaking to an inspector the and getting the final requirements, they confirmed exactly what I had mentioned. Your home would require a cold air return system] installed even if it meant opening up a wall on the downstairs apartment. I know this is something you felt was impractical and I don't blame you. They are beautiful walls with character and I would hate to do it also. The reason it is required is because it's a 2 family home and the cross air flow of two air conditioning systems next to each other which will cause improper cooling and efficiency. I know there are some companies that will only hook up an air conditioner and let you deal with the side effects of an improper installation, however we are not one of those companies. The reason we maintain our perfect reviews from homeowners, that have actually had us complete work, is that we insist on a proper installations every time. Thank you again for considering us and I'm sure you would have been extremely satisfied with our work had you actually used our company. Take Care, Steve Collins."

The quote I was provided stated that they could start the work within 1 week, I called in 2 days later to make the payment and they stated they could not do it for 3 weeks. I told them the quote said within 1 week so I need it sooner and the owner said he could "bump" me up a week. So we were scheduled for yesterday, took off work to be there for the install. Waiting around so I call for an ETA and the owner says "yeah I wasn't able to get you bumped up so it's going to be next week." I asked why the poor communication, and he said "it goes both ways, you should have called us to see if we weren't able to bump you up." Very unprofessional. On top of that, anytime you call the office.. the people answering don't know any info. All they do is write down your question and info and have the "owner" call you back. All I wanted was brand and model info and they had to have the owner call me back. The owner called me back and even he couldn't tell me a model number, he couldn't tell me the labor cost, nothing.
Response from Collins Cooling & Heating Co

"NO SERVICER PERFORMED: Wow where do I start? First of all, I have never met you. I provided a proposal to the previous owner of the home who must have gave you a copy after you bought the home. The price and terms of the proposal was with him and not you. He and I spoke and agreed to the terms and there was never any confusion. He said he would be paying for the system and as far as I am concerned, he is my customer. We are a Rheem system provider which an outstanding system however it is a little more costly than he wanted. He explained that he wanted the least expensive air conditioner available since he was selling the home in the near future. Later on, you called me at about 9:30PM and told me that you had bought the house and asked me what the model number was? Since I had never met you and had no idea who you were and what you were talking about, you caught me off guard. Even though it was 9:30PM at night and I was home with my kids, I still tried to help you. I did tell you that we are a Rheem dealer and I am very knowledgeable with the Rheem equipment however the system you were asking about is not a system that we normally install. I explained the what the size and SEER rating was and how to locate it online if you wanted to know more. In this review you have made so many untrue statements, it's actually funny. You stated that you called me two days after you got the proposal. Since I never sent you the proposal, you had no way of knowing that I had sent the it to the current homeowner long before that. When you called, and told me that you were the new owner and wanted to setup a time to install the system, I tried to accommodate you. I gave you a solid date that we would be able to install your system. but you insisted on arguing with me. I told you that the terms of being able to install within a week was with the previous owner and was no longer available. We were about two weeks out now and there was nothing I could do. I again gave you a solid date that I could install the system and that if we had a cancellation, I would let you know. I think your refusal to accept that and the continual arguing must have gotten you mixed up. You told me that you are now be responsible for a small portion of the installation cost which you provided it over the phone. If you were not acceptable those terms then why would you have gave me your payment? I received a call the next Monday from you, thinking that you had won the argument and that would be getting your system installed today. I looked on the schedule and told you that we had agreed on the following Monday and that if we had a cancellation, I would have let you known. Once again the arguing continued. To the point of sarcasm, you continued to say "Well I might be home next Monday if I have a cancellation". I called the previous owner who was my actual customer and explained the situation who kind of laughed and said "he is your headache now". At that point, I realized that the proposal that I have with the previous owner would not be beneficial to anyone. The previous owner was very flexible and understanding however you were not. I called you back and explained that we no longer wanted to do the work and I would immediately refund your portion. You then tried to intimidate me by threatening to leave a bad review on Angles List. Since no work was ever done, I'm sure and anyone reading this, will agree that our company, who has all positive reviews from ever member who has actually had work completed, know that this is not a valid review. I think that if we would have first met face to face and I was able to explain things and provide a proposal to you, like we do with every customer, you would have seen the value in working with our great company."

Great, He came on time the next day. Instead of quoting me a new air conditioner, Steve Collins the owner found that it needed a new electrical box instead. He worked in the install the next day. He saved me from the $3,500 the other company quoted saying we needed an new compressor. I really appreciate Collins honesty.
Response from Collins Cooling & Heating Co

"Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad that we were able to prevent you from an unexpected major expense. I feel that honesty is the best policy and I'm glad that we were able to complete only the needed repairs. Now that your current system back working again, I hope it will provide a few more years of good service. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions. Take Care. Steve Collins"

Punctual and responsive, install went in quickly despite a few small surprises uncovered during the operation. Professional and friendly.
Response from Collins Cooling & Heating Co

"Thank you for the great review! I'm glad that the issue when your system stopped cooling was a minor one. Not too sure how your circuit breaker inside the home got turned off a couple of weeks after installation however we fully understand that things do happen. We are just glad that by turning it back on, was the only thing needed. This is why we never charge for a repair on a system, that we installed, and is still under warranty. No matter what the issue is. It is not uncommon for us to return to a home only to find out that a child has turned off the power to the furnace or that the gas company had disconnected service to the home. In any case there is never a charge. We like to feel that our warrant is the best around. Please feel free to call us if you ever need anything or just have a question. Take care. Steve Collins"

I was told by another heating and cooling company that my furnace was emitting bad CO and needed to be replaced.  Based on previous reviews I found on Angie's List,  I called Collins Cooling and Heating and Steve Collins came out the same day!  He reviewed my equipment needs and quoted me a price $4000 less than the "other" company!  Steve's quote was detailed and complete.  Steve was kind and knowledgable and didn't talk down to me.  I was really comfortable going forward with Collins Cooling and Heating.  Within another day, they came out and replaced both my furnace and Air Conditioner.  No troubles, No extra problems or costs.  They were kind, neat and fast.  Still to this day everything is running great.
I would highly recommend Collins Cooling and Heating to anyone. If you sit down with Steve you will know that he is honest, kind and knowledgable.  You can Trust him and his company to install the right equipment and at a GREAT PRICE!

"Thank you for the great review! I'm glad that you were totally satisfied with our work. I always like to sit down with every homeowner and show exactly what we will offer and the pros and cons of all of them. I feel that by doing that, I can get an understanding of what is needed. This allows me to suggest the system that is needed and not try to sell something overpriced and unneeded. Your new Rheem system is a perfect match for your home and should provide many years of dependable service. Thank you again for the work and the great review! Steve Collins"

"Thank you for taking the time to leave us a good review. I'm glad you were very happy with our quality of work and value. I'm sorry if their was confusion with your purchase. The storefront offers have been a great source of value to the members and our company as well. It allows members to see upfront what they will be getting before purchasing. We did speak on the phone about the Rheem equipment however the offer that you actually purchased online was not the offer we were talking about. We have 2 similar offers: " $2,195 for a Rheem 95% High Efficient Gas Furnace w/ duct cleaning" and "$1,895 for a New 95% High Efficient Gas Furnace". As you can see both offers are extremely well priced! The Rheem offer is clearly stated on the very first header line and is in bold print. The offer you had purchased was the lower priced offer. I had hoped that by trying to modify an acceptable offer, before your system installation, you would feel more than satisfied. The additional $200 to get you back up to the Rheem equipment is strictly our cost for the better equipment and still less than the listed Rheem Storefront offer .We do whatever possible to make sure our customers are more than satisfied and become a customer for life. Please don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions or need any other heating or air conditioning service. Take care Steve Collins"
