Absolute nightmare working with this outfit, all the way from the bottom the top up the chain only to be blocked by Ryan their young defense lineman. I can't believe how much time and money they took from us while only to be offered a long runaround. Young Ryan, the one whom shelters the fearful owners, will not allow us to speak with his supervisor at end of a long ordeal. Guilty? Cover-up? Maturity? Honesty? We paid them their diagnosis fee and it was not only incorrectly diagnosed but the $ 99 was not forwarded to the new repairS. After being told the parts needed where to come in mail in 5-7 days yet the tech said he just goes to the store get the needed parts. Honesty? He left our home in a state which was horribly damaged in many many serious areas and left the electric box open with exposed wires. I immediately let them know my unit was not functioning, damaged and dangerous, do to the damages that THEY had done. Vandalism? Did they really think we would not notice. Pride in their work? Far from it. We gave them ample time to correct the matter with no accountability taken on their behalf until weeks later, forcing our home with out air conditioning for a month. They were already paid and were paid up front to get the parts. Mistake. We personally contacted Ryan and personally called his tech, who said the only way to fix my unit was to destroy it( why did he not tell us we at fifty percent capacity with sections of duct work crushed 80% flat). Who does this? Anger issue? We were left with still no accountability to five major severe concerning damages brought to their attention. Respectful? Leaving us with no option other than have the work completed correctly and safely by our own means. They offered no apologies or anything - other than at the tale end, of a very long dragged out ordeal (because they had new work to get to according to Ryan before taking care of work already paid for), to come back and finally address the issues. Good Business? By then it was to late. I would never allow this quality type of repairmen and/or company any were near my home if I were reading this. The customer is never right with these guys and I'm sure Russ, The hide out man, invisible to all clients, will try to respond and say something like they offered to repair.....not a fire hazard (even though we have proof)...too little too late. ......Buyer beware !!! This only the half of the AC Saga.

I have used O'Brien Heating & Air Conditioning services since 2007. They installed heating, air conditioning, water heater, and subfloor heating (boiler) systems. I had thoroughly evaluated alternatives to O'Brien before I selected them, and I found that they were by far the best heating and AC contractor in our area of SE Pennsylvania. They completed excellent installations since 2007 that have stood the test of time, and they perform regular service 2 times per year on these systems. These systems perform extremely well, and O'Brien Heating & Air Conditioning is always very responsive to fix any issues. They have occasionally resolved fairly complex issues that arise and completed the diagnosis quickly and accurately -- and fixed the issue right away. Their prices are fair and the technicians and office staff are a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend O'Brien Heating & Air Conditioning for your heating and air conditioning needs.

3 years ago I brought in O'Brien to clean our A/C unit. I mentioned to them at the time that the unit was always running on and it wasn’t performing like it should. The tech went through and supposedly cleaned the system. It didn’t get any better. Last year I started getting GI issues and fatigue. I was reaching Lyme as a possibility but also mold toxins which have similar health issues. I had to check these things myself. I found that the evaporator had so much dirt from years past that it was blocking about 25% of the air. I am still cleaning the unit out after 2 weeks of cleaning. This was all behind the filter. I understand that it is a lot of work to open a return duct and inspect is (~10 minutes) but just looking on the one side that would naturally be clean is unacceptable. I hope the company sees this review and improves their service. Please see pictures below. These were after the first cleaning. While the unit is still not 100% clean, it is working a lot better now compared to years in the past. I ultimately will need a new replacement due to the mold.
Response from O'Brien Heating & Air Conditioning

"We were never in this customer's home in 2013 and in fact have not been there since 2011. This is apparently the same issue as addressed by this customer in his review dated 10/4/2016. I'm sorry that the customer had a bad experience, however, I don't know why they posted on the same issue twice five years later, without having had any discussion with us as to his accusations."

They replaced my failing 27-year-old air-conditioner in the middle of a heat wave. The new unit works great.

Here is where it goes downhill. Thinking that there was still an issue somewhere I started researching the A/C system and how it works. Well finally I decided to look at the evaporator coils and I found they were clogged up around 30-40%. These are behind the air filter. It was only a matter of removing 6 screws and pulling out the filter to see what was in there. I was really disappointed that they missed this. I now most likely have mold in my ducts and has caused all sorts of health issues with me. Now they can say what they want that I found this 5 years later but I assure you 5 years from now it won't look like the way I found it. Also the system cools better now, the drain carries more water outside pounding now compared to before. Take a look at the pictures and you decide.
Response from O'Brien Heating & Air Conditioning

"I'm sorry that Mr. [Member Name Removed] apparently had a bad experience with our company over 5 years ago. Unfortunately, since we have had no contact from the customer or been to his home since 2011, it's a bit difficult to defend ourselves. So, I have no way of knowing either what conditions were seen by our technician. At this point, the equipment is also well past a normal lifespan and well below current energy usage standards. We certainly would have been happy to review any concerns had they been brought to us at that time."

I had emergency service performed on my furnace on Saturday morning.  I was more than happy to pay the $149 "diagnostic" fee because since the furnace worked in May and June when we purchased the house, I assumed it was a pilot light issue. The tech, Ryan, was prompt, professional, wore a uniform.  He poked around a little bit, spoke to someone on the phone, commented on how "dirty" the inside was (but did NOT offer to stay and clean it), said that the furnace was old and the parts to correct the problem were no longer available.  He said we needed to replace the furnace and gave me an estimate. 

Two days later, in steps the home warranty company, because, after all, why would I hand over $5K+ without a second opinion.  After paying an additional $100 (HSA deductible), THAT tech wiped off a sensor and to my surprise, the furnace started right up.  If Ryan had done the same thing, I would NOT have had to pay the extra $100.

I spoke to two separate people at the company, with a request for a refund of $100 for the deductible I had to pay the home warranty people, and was told flat out that it could NOT be done, you signed the paper that's what the diagnostic fee is you're going to have to replace that furnace eventually and so on.  Not one spot of concern in making a potential future customer happy. What would have cost the company ONLY $100 to make me happy, now costs them revenue from the eventual furnace replacement, water heater replacement, attic insulation job, split a/c system installation and new thermostat installation as we upgrade our home, because I would not in my right mind hire a company who cares NOTHING about customer satisfaction.

O'Briens should remember they're not the only heating and a/c company in the area.  If  I hear of anyone else considering using this company, I will take pleasure in passing my story along.
Response from O'Brien Heating & Air Conditioning

"This customer called their home warranty company first and they were not available for 48 hours. We responded promptly on a Saturday. The part that was inoperative was discontinued by the manufacturer some time ago and contains mercury. The long term solutions are a complete control retrofit or a boiler replacement which made more sense economically given the age and condition of the boiler. The cleaning performed by the home warranty company is no more than a "band aid" repair. We stand by our diagnosis and recommendation and do not feel it is our responsibility to reimburse the customer for a second opinion."

I was extremely impressed with the service this company provided from the time I called them until the job was completed.  Upon calling for service they immediately came out and gave a complete inspection of the furnace and central air.   I had problems with both since I purchased the house nearly a decade ago.  They gave me both an option to repair or to purchase new units considering the age and continual breakdowns.  The price for new units including labor was nearly $2,000.00 less than a prior quote by a different company.  In addition, O'Briens offered me a superior brand with better warranties.  Although I have not had the opportunity to use the furnace yet, the central air is much more effective than the old unit.  It cools the entire house more quickly and reaches the thermostatic setting in all areas including the upstairs which never cooled as it does now .  In addition, the servicemen who came out were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.  There was never any pressure to purchase or scare tactics used in their service call.  The job was completed timely and orderly without any disruption to my daily routine.  If you're looking to get good service on your air condition/furnace, these are the people to call first.
