They worked efficiently and tolerated my nosey cat who oversaw their work. They also offered services for maintenance and any future problems that may occur, but the furnace has operated perfectly since installed.
I advised the oeprator that I suspected a leak in a line in the heater because the leak stopped when we stopped using the heater. I couldn't be at home when they called and said they could drive by that same afternoon but a family member would show them the area that needed to be reviewed. They arrived on time and as expected. However, they didn't spend ANYTIME reviewing where the leak actually was. They asked my family member to check the a.c. vents throughout the house using a radar tool and to provide the readings of the units - which I thought was strange.. shouldn't they be doing the work? When she reported back to them, they recommended that the a.c. unit (which is on the roof) needed to be cleaned out. I was advised when I first made the appointment that they did not review a.c. units on the roof, but I had told them the problem was in the heating system which was in the basement. I wish they had suggested I ask for a refund at that time. Anyways, they left me a bill advising what they did, which I couldn't understand; I guess it's routine to include serial numbers of the items checked on the bill? I called them as soon as they left and the person on the phone was abrupt and said that they wouldn't look at the leak because it wasn't actively leaking so how could they determine what was causing it... and then hung up on me because he said he was at his next job and multitasking. I was hoping he would be willing to call me back but I suppose not. Even if they couldn't do the job I would have hoped that would have the courtesy to explain to be their diagnosis with some patience. I would not recommend.
"[member name removed], After not having heat for 6 years and after going through several HVAC contractors I am glad you chose Air Done Right LLC. As I explained to you because of the age (1950's) of your furnace many alterations had to be made to update your new furnace. I explained the process to you step by step and instead of charging you additional I offered you discounts, I believe it wasn't until I put you in contact with a customer who we had recently done similar work for, that you gave us the job. As for cleaning up, we removed all your old equipment and cleaned all debris related to our hvac work and swept our workspace several times. We were not able to remove the bricks from the chimney liner that another contractor had left behind."
Jermaine and another gentleman removed my old furnace and water heater, which were housed in a shed on my rooftop deck. They had to bring it all down two long flights of stairs and a front stoop, and bring the replacements up the same way. There was very little mess, and they cleaned up afterwards. They had some trouble emptying the old water heater - had to let it drain slowly on the rooftop deck and down the gutter - and some water did end up going through the floor of the shed and into my bedroom closet ceiling light! But this was not discovered until later that night, after they had gone. It's been over a month since the installation, and there have been no further leaks, so I'm sure this was from the removal.
My water shutoff is inside my neighbors condo, below mine, and we did not have access to that, so they couldn't turn off the water to the whole house. But somehow they managed to complete the job in less than a day anyway, and everything seems to be working just fine. I was very thankful that Jermaine found the fault in my old furnace, before there was a real problem. I had had reps out from two other companies earlier in the year, to quote a new furnace, but they either didn't turn on the old unit, or didn't notice the problem when they did. Either way, once I saw the flames inside the furnace flare out so close to the vent, I realized the job could no longer be postponed. The old heater could not be used, even for a day. And even at such short notice, Air Done Right's price seemed very fair in comparison to those older quotes. So I don't feel Jermaine took advantage of the fact that it was the end of October and I had no heat.
The only issue I had was that, the first day they were supposed to come out to clean the old furnace, they canceled. They were supposed to be there between 11 and 1; they called at 12:55 saying they'd be another two hours; then called after 2 and said they wouldn't make it that day. They then offered to do the cleaning for free on a different day, and offered me free a/c maintenance in the spring. So they did all they could to make up for it. At least they called to say they'd be late.
A month later, I still have heat and hot water, so I have no complaints. Also they were just very nice guys. I would use them again.
