I called for an estimate for installation of an air conditioning system, and scheduled an appointment for someone to come out and take a look at the house. After selecting Custom Air, they came out a second time to answer some of my questions before scheduling the installation. I had to upgrade my electric, so the work had to be coordinated with my electricians as well. The crew came right on time, and the installation was completed in one day. Everything went very smoothly, the crew was polite and they cleaned up the property when they were finished. The system qualifies for the $1,500 energy credit, so the actual cost was $4,500.

They came out within 12 hours when I was without heat. They were wonderful. The gentleman actually explained to me how to repair the furnace. He told me about some of their perks.

Thanks to Angie's List, I lucked out again by using customer reviews to choose Custom Air for a new Trane furnace and AC unit. Salesman Scott Gishell was friendly, informative, and suggested changes to the basement ductwork to make best use of a new system in an old brick house. Installers Ken and Ben worked hard all day and did a great job. The AC has been up and running for 10 days now and all is well. Pricewise, I'm very well satisfied, especially after hearing from a co-worker about his own home, where he received several bids with higher prices and lesser services. He wasn't using Angie's List.

Perry and Allan arrived on time, got right to work and were done much earlier than anticipated, which was nice! They put in new venting and even explained other changed we could make on our own to have a safer dryer vent. They explained the new thermostat and cleaned up after themselves. What a great experience!

I spent $250 on the job. They were very efficient and very thorough. I thought they were reasonably priced. I have used them before. I will use them again in the future.

This was one of the best experiences we have had with a company for our home ever. First, their price was more than $1000. less than two other highly respected companies. The unit they installed was a Trane, which is in the top tier of manufacturers. Their workmanship was excellent, and they were prompt, courteous, and very neat. When my neighbor decided to file a protest against putting the new unit in the location of the prior unit, they waited until after the permits were approved and the unit was installed, and requested a city hearing. Custom Air came to the rescue, and offered to advocate on our behalf. Dave Wuelfing was just outstanding. Ultimately, we decided to move our unit before the hearing and Dave offered to have Custom Air cover half of the cost. He followed through on his pledge, and we were given a small bill to move the unit. Our new heat pump works beautifully, and we are pleased with their quality work.

We've dealt with them for many years and we just always saw them as reliable. One thing that was crucial when we were away in February and my daughter came over to check the house and the house was 33 degrees inside. That was on a Sunday and she called them and they came and checked and found out what the problem was and the next morning he had the part here but the house got heated again. We carry a service policy with them so they did not charge for the weekend power. Their price is probably competitive and we've always been satisfied with them. Their responsiveness to my needs has been excellent. Their punctuality and professionalism has been very good. I would use their service in the future.

Not sure if we spent a little more than this, it was a month ago, but they came out, repaired rather than replaced (hard to find any more) and fixed the problem quickly. They didn't try to oversell, just fixed the problem for as little money as possible. Very impressed.

I called 3 companys for estimates on replacing my 20 year old HVAC system. Of course, all 3 companies came from Angies List. My system had been having problems over the years and the reliability was decreasing. All 3 companies were close on price and made clear presentations. It was a very hard choice. Custom Air wasn't the lowest quote. But I appreciated Dave Wuelfing's detailed quote. I wanted a high efficiency system and he gave me 4 options to choose from. My house was built in 1928 and originally had coal fired heat. The first gas furnace was installed 20 years ago. But after extensive remodeling, the house always seems dusty. Since I have 3 cats, and hardwood floors, I decided to have the 5" filter air cleaner and the humidifier also installed. I was looking for long term efficiency and healthy air. I selected the day for installation on my schedule. They showed up on time, did a wonderful install job, and cleaned up and removed all debris including the old furnace and air conditioner. They explained everything and left all of the manuals with me. They were very professional and I'm very pleased.

They gave me a good price and great service. I received four different estimates and also looked online and did my research. I had it down to 2 companies who did the same work. We hired them based on their bid. They came out when they said they would, got the job done and everything is working great. My only complaint was their lack of follow-up. I would have liked that someone came out or called to make sure everything was working well and to ask us if we were happy with the work. Other than that, we liked their work and will use them again in the future.

I called Custom Air back in July to fix our current air conditioner, they came out the next day and I was very pleased with the service. The repair service was done on 7/23/09. We are in the process of signing off with a remodeling contractor so a new furnace and air are needed as our current one is 22 yrs. old. After the repair, I contacted Custom Air to get a quote. I got a quote for the product I WANTED not what they wanted to sell me (as I've experienced with 2 other quotes) and the price is great. The sales representative was excellent, didn't make me feel "stupid" and explained the product thoroughly. He also offered suggestions-an item I didn't get from 2 previous sales reps. We will purchase this quoted system in the near future, as the remodeling will begin in March next year. I'm excited to have a "Trane" HVAC system. Thank you Dave Wuelfing, you are great.

Dave Wuelfing, the Custom Air salesman, was very knowledgeable. I had estimates from four other top Angie's List companies and chose Custom Air based on presentation, pricing, and the best system for the money-Trane. The installers, Cory Frost and Alan Nowaczyk, were efficient, extremely knowledgeable and professional and left my property inside and out spotless.

We have a 12 year old York heat pump system that had sporadic trouble heating this winter and which just started to leak water from under the heat exchanger. The unit hadn't been serviced in a few years, so we thought someone should give it a look. I called on Monday and was able to arrange for a service visit late in the afternoon the next day to fit my schedule. The technician came out and found the drain line was clogged. He cleared the clog, inspected the heat exchanger internally, then went outside and sprayed off the heat pump and checked its coolant pressures. The technician arrived when scheduled, was very courteous and knowledgeable, and he provided instructions for keeping the system running well. He did not try to sell us a whole new unit, which we were worried about given the age of the system. He also gave me prices for accessories (e.g., programmable thermostat) that he thought might be useful to me, but this was done in the spirit of home-owner education and without any sales pressure whatsoever.

I thought they were excellent. The technician that they sent out was very friendly and informative, and I have since asked that he come out for my future checks. He was interested in doing a good job. Their pricing is competitive, and I will be using them again. Price reflects annual contract.

They were very thorough and they recommended a whole house humidifier. We went ahead with their suggestion and they finished installing 3-4 days ago. Their prices are reasonable, however I haven't received a bill for the humidifier.

I feel we were very lucky to have chosen Custom Air. The technician, Jimmy Hayes, was very professional and gave us great advice on our Trane furnace. We decided to get a maintenance agreement with the company for future work. We were not having regular maintenance done on our 12 year old Trane and I feel this contributed to our original problem.

Custom Air has the maintenance contracts for six HVAC units, including two in our home. We began using Custom Air after a small company who served our units for many years went out of business, and its employees were hired by Custom Air. Custom Air's service has been stellar. During the Christmas holiday season, one of the furnaces stopped working in a rental unit. I was out of town and so were the tenants for much of the period. Chris, the dispatcher, worked exceptionally hard in arranging a time for someone to come when I or a tenant would be present. At my request, She arranged for Dave, who regularly services our units, to meet me at the townhouse. Dave came promptly at the agreed upon time, diagnosed the problem, obtained and replaced the circuit board, whose cost was covered by warranty. I had to pay only for the labor. Dave also showed me how the unit provided self-diagnostic signals I could use if there were future problems. This latest example of Custom Air's fine work is typical of our valued experiences with the company, especially our highly positive experiences with Chris and Dave, who are top-notch. Both are also delightful people! Take care!

Very will. I was very satisfied with the price, responsiveness and that they didn't laugh too hard at the fact that I blew the fuse installing a thermostat.
