They kept at it until they had a solution and fixed the leak I had with the gas fireplace. They had to get more parts to try and kept coming back until it was right.

I would have continued to use them if the price increase wasn't so high.
Description of Work: Their yearly charge for a service agreement that included two check-ups, summer and winter, jumped from $175 to $225 in one year. My Social Security went up 3 tenths of 1 percent and after using Franklin for 20 years I had to find someone not as expensive. I always got good service from them and they were friendly and always did good work. I have to watch my expenses like everyone who is a senior.

Furnace stopped working at around 11:45 pm on 3/2/17. I went online and sent a message to Franklin Heating and Refrigeration requesting service anytime after 7:30 am on 3/3/17. They called me at 7:25 am to inform me that they were sending out a technician. Technician arrived at 8:00 am. By 8:45 am, furnace was fixed and technician left. Now this is how you run a business! I was so impressed with their service that I purchased a service contract with them to handle my yearly preventive maintenance. I would not hesitate to recommend them. BTY, my technician was Aaron D.
Description of Work: Furnace would not stay lit. Cleaned flame igniter and thoroughly checked out furnace.

This was a BIG job! I was called daily to be informed the guys were enroute whick I appreciated. Took a little longer than anticipated but thats OK based upon the scope of work. Overall very satisfied. Only complaints I have are the gas line they ran to the hotwater heater is pretty crooked and doesn't look very professional-and they were sloppy with the pvc purple primer-I am obviously picky! May call them back since I need a gas line run to my fireplace anyway.

It was unfix-able. My unit was sot and I needed to get quotes on new units. They refused to get me a quote on a new unit so I ended up calling 4 or 5 other providers and they all gave me their quotes. So I actually had a unit installed before they called me for the quote. It was a week before they even called me back to give me a quote. So I guess they were unresponsive on what I actually needed to get done which was a new unit.
Description of Work: They really didn't fix the problem but my unit was bad so I had to get another unit.

I couldn't be more pleased. I moved in to a new house and within an hour realized the AC unit and pipes were frozen. I called multiple HVAC companies who were all booked, understandably given the season. Someone recommended Franklin and they were able to fit me in that same day. The on call technician fixed the unit that night and it was up and running again. The speed, quality and price were all great.

Our furnace would not come on and we scheduled for franklin to come out and they did a routine service call where they suggested a part that would cost us another 300 or 400 dollars. When we called for them to come back out, they did not call and we had to call them to find out that they were running late and would not be coming out. We tried to reschedule for another day where we had to off work again and they could not commit to time. They never called us first, we had to call them and they continued not to show up for the work to be done. Finally a week later, after taking off three days of work, we finally had someone new come out, but they brought the wrong part. After all the problems we had, we decided to go with a different service due to the loss of time and money dealing with Franklin. We may have only paid the $79 but the overall loss was much more than that.
Description of Work: We needed work on our furnace and we were recommended to franklin for a fuel oil furnace.

10-6-11 1st service call. Found Ignition control/transformer, nozzle & filter need replaced. Gave quote of $388.00. Upon returning 10-7-11 found that the Ignition control would not work. Original part is no longer made. We researched part with several suppliers with no luck on a replacement. We then quoted the homeowner a new burner assembly and this work was not approved. We gave them a price and the work was not approved.

It started well. They came in and sealed vent joints and installed proper hangers. Bob Lingo told me this portion took 5 hours, so I felt I was right on budget time wise. That left 11 hours to install 25' of ductwork and a damper, connect the burner and adjust it by my estimate. The kettle required a steam vent (6" stainless) and 9" gas vent with barometric damper. I emailed Bob a photo of a similar kettle to show what the final product should look like. They then installed the barometric damper on the steam vent instead of the gas vent. A barometric damper feeds oxygen to the burner and helps carbon monoxide to escape to the outside of the building. This is very important and I would expect that any installer would know how they work and how to properly install one. I had them make the correction and install the damper on the gas vent. They never adjusted the burner. A state inspector pointed out a vent that was missed. This tells me that they did not look at the plans as it was clearly shown on the plans. Bob charged me for 35 hours of labor. I asked him for a breakdown of the bill and he sent me one. It indicates that two people are working on days when only one employee showed up for work. They are over billing for their services. The work performed would have been a complete disaster (and danger) had I not known something about what I was asking them to do. It took 5 trips and they billed me for the extra trips to make their corrections.
Description of Work: Sealed ductwork and installed proper hangers. Installed 10' of 9" ductwork from a gas fired kettle including a barometric damper. Installed 15" duct run main furnace vent. Connected burner to the kettle and adjust the burner.

The owner of the building that he operates out of, the Buckeye Brewery asked Bob Lingo owner of Franklin Heating to check out the work done by a previous contractor. That was when Mr. Lingo met the member. The previous contractor did not run the duct work per the blueprints it was under sized & not sealed to support the state of Ohio code. Mr. Lingo told him that if his HVAC contractor would not return to make the needed corrections he would be happy to work with him. The following day he called Mr. Lingo and stated he had fired the first contractor and would like Franklin Heating to finish the HVAC job for him. In meeting with him, I told him i would give him a discount on the labor since he was just getting started with his business and also renting from Mike. He informed me that the drawings would be drawn to show the duct work the original contractor had hung, so the work would not need to be replaced with the correct size, just brought up to code, so I took the member at his word and did not review the blueprints myself. Franklin Heating straightened and sealed all the duct work. The member also asked me to vent the beer boiler to the existing mis-installed roof vents. The chimney vent through the roof was backwards which allowed water in. The member stated he would have the installation instructions on the job site, but failed to do so, also the beer boiler was not shown on blue prints, so when the sheet metal worker saw the chimney installed as it was he mistook the as a make up air vent. This was one hour of time, which i credited him for. The sheet metal worker installed a barometric damper on the steam vent; this is for steam and not a carbon monoxide issue as stated by the member. A service technician was sent out to start up beer boiler and would have caught mistake upon start up, if I had not already caught the mistake on a process inspection and had sheet metal man correct. He still owes Franklin Heating $239.00 for this start up. The member did ask for a price and I did reply that I would take care of him; I was not really able to give him a price to repair the first contractor’s mistakes and bring everything up to state code. Our regular rate is $78.00 per hour per man with a $30.00 trip charge I only charged him $45.00 per hour and no trip charge for his work. As for his statement of how many hours the job should take, I am not sure how he would even know. Also he had a wall put in that we had to work through and around. He also states that the materials were higher than he could purchase them for, first he is not pricing the same gauge metal or quality of materials. Also there is my time to order the materials and time for our delivery person to pick up the materials and get to the job site-this is not free to me. The date he is referring to that I mis-charged him for labor, stating two men where there. I myself along with my wife were there that day to lay out the job with the metal workers of which one is also my son. He was not on the job, and only chooses to believe his carpenter. One man did leave earlier than the other to go to lunch. The member had Franklin Heating and Refrigeration, Inc. install refrigeration equipment for him also; this work was with a contract, paid within the terms with no questions. In summary The member hired a non-qualified contractor to perform work. Running behind on time contracts Franklin Heating and Refrigeration, Inc. to correct the first contractors work and bring up to state code. He stated from the beginning that his funds were limited, which is why i gave him a reduced rate. He still owes Franklin Heating $636.00 for the HVAC work and $239.00 for the start up of the beer boiler. The member has came right out and called me, my wife and my employees a liar, stating we were not on the job when we stated we were. He was only seen once by Franklin Heating workers on the job site. He at no time asked Franklin Heating to get off the job site or to stop work. He actually gave us a key to let ourselves in and out of the job site. In closing the member has receive a fair job for a fair price.
