Description of Work: I asked four difference companies for a proposal to replace my A/C & furnace (residential townhome). I gave them all the same written one-page description of what I wanted, including requesting an analysis of whether the current system was appropriately sized (number of tons). All except Lee Thompson totally ignored that request and only spend a few minutes looking at my system, or spent most of their time at my house giving a sales pitch. Chuck, the sales/design guy from Lee Thompson, was at my place four different times to take measurements (dimensions as well as air-flow from all registers) and work through all the questions and issues I had raised. Lee Thompson's price was competitive, their installer team (lead by Terrance) was competent and thorough. They completed the installation and I was happy with their work.

Description of Work: I requested maintenance services to be performed. My call was answered promptly by the answering service and a technician was asked to call me, The technician promised to come the same day within 3 to 4 hours. Well, he never came and also did not call to inform me that he will not be able to come. I find this very unprofessional and poor client service.

Response from Lee Thompson Company
We certainly blew it on this service call and I am very sorry that this happened to you.This call came in during the weekend where we have different people answering the phones. I spoke with the technician who took your call and reworked our procedures so this will not happen again. Thank you for your comment and hope you will try us again sometime.

Great that they had emergency availability. However, they did not bring the appropriate equipment to dectect leak, therefore multiple follow-up visits were required. Also, keep in mind that you must confirm your appointment 24hrs before actual appointment, otherwise, they will cancel the appointment. Otherwise, the job to replace the compressor was done as promised.
Description of Work: 1. Freon charge on Sunday; and 2. detect leak on a follow-up appointment; and 3. on 3rd and last appointment- replaced compressor

Got a call from the company 30 minutes before the tech showed. He checked the unit and determined I needed two replacement parts: a capacitor and relay switch. Also cleaned the fins on the cooling unit at no charge.

I had this A/C unit checked by another repairman before I called Lee Thompson Company. He said we needed a new A/C unit and offered to put one in. I decided to check with Lee Thompson Co. after checking Angie's List and I was glad I did.Thank you Angie.
Description of Work: Within a couple of minutes, Robert Crow the repairman said the AC unit might need a new capacitor, He checked the capacitor and showed me a connection had been burned. He had a capacitor on his truck and he removed the defective one and installed the new one. The A/C came right on. Robert was a very knowledgable and competent repairman.

From the start, the quote process was well above and beyond what all the other companies did for the quote. 3 Companies from Angies list quoted a unit that would not even fit in the limited space available. None of the other companies actually calculated the cooling requirements. The process of installation showed the same pride in workmanship as the quote. I could not be happier with the price or the service.
Description of Work: Quote, selection and installation of an in wall unit air handler and external condenser.

I called Lee Thompson around 11:00 or 12:00, and Stella answered all my questions. Then put me tentatively on the schedule for that day. I called other A/C companies and no one was as informative or personable as Stella. I received a call to let me know the tech would arrive-he was even a few minutes early. The tech Crow, was great. Again, very informative walked us through what might be going on. Crow consulted with me on all my options. We decided to go with the mid-range option. We scheduled the repairs. The workmen showed-up right on time, and the work was completed 2-3 hours earlier than what they had anticipated. It has now been a little over two weeks since the repairs, and our house has an exquisite chill when you enter it. And that is saying alot here in the Texas heat and humidity.
Description of Work: Changed: evaporator unit drip pan Freon charge

I emailed this company on Sunday to request service. They called me on Monday to find out what I needed. It's $140.00 for a service call but you can sign up for an ESA (Energy Saving Agreement) for 149.00 for a year. It includes semi-annual tune up and cleaning for heating and air conditioning. I agreed the ESA was what I needed given it had been a couple of years since the last maintenance call. They were able to come out the next day and accommodate a late afternoon appointment. They also called me at work and let me know they were 30 minutes from being at my house which was great and gave me time to get there ahead of them. The service man was clean, pleasant and polite, and knowledgeable. I followed him around the whole time and he didn't once seem annoyed and even said he preferred it that way so that explaining things were a lot easier. First he turned the thermostat down so the air would blow for awhile. Then we went in the attic and he put a temp gauge on the ducts while he taped and gooped up the air blower to stem the loss of air up there. Then down to the outside unit where he cleaned about 10 years worth of dirt out, gave it a shot of freon and talked with me about things I can do in between the semi-annual maintenance. Once that was done he checked the air temperature coming out of the registers in all the rooms. He cleaned up after himself and didn't leave trash or tools around.
Description of Work: Routine A/C maintenance, plugged air leaks in the air blower unit in the attic, topped off the freon, cleaned the outside unit

The technician was on time at 8:00 A.M. and quickly found the problem and fixed it. He checked the system for freon and pressure which was OK with me, but he did not tell me in advance how much it would cost. The cost of the entire repair was reasonable.
Description of Work: Technician replaced a capacitor in my compressor. He also checked the air conditioner for pressures and freon.

Extremely well.
Description of Work: It was a Saturday and my AC stopped. A person at Lee Thompson called me back within a couple of hours and he talked me through trouble shooting the problem - which was the circuit breaker was switched off. He solved it over the phone and saved me a trip fee of $160 which I truly appreciated. They also said they would work on a 'zone' system (which I have) and I intend on calling them soon - just for a service check.

I chose Lee Thompson Co. for a large job at my residence (replacing both central A/C heating zones top to bottom). I cannot say enough good things about this company. Their people showed up on time, were very proficient in what they did and cleaned up after themselves. The owner (Scott Thompson) came by during the job to make sure we were happy and check on the job progress. This company totally met my expectations.
Description of Work: Replaced air conditioning and furnaces for two zones.

THIS COMPANY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. THEY CAME IN ON TIME, AND STARTED CHANGING OUT MY AC UNIT AND HEAT. THEY WERE EXTREMELY POLITE. THEY EVEN USED BOOTIES AS TO NOT MESS UP MY FLOOR. HOW MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER THAT?! THEY INSTALLED MY UNIT WITH LITTLE DISRUPTION. THEY WERE CURTIOUS AND CLEANED EVERYTHING UP WHEN FINISHED (TALK ABOUT EFFICIENT). THEY INSTRUCTED ME ON HOW TO USE MY UNIT AND SAVE THE MOST MONEY I COULD. NOW THAT'S TO MY BENEFIT OVERALL. MR. WARD EXPLAINED WHAT WAS INVOLVED BEFORE THEY STARTED THE JOB, AND THEY CAME THRU 110% AND MORE. THIS IS A GREAT COMPANY TO USE.
Description of Work: I NEEDED A NEW AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IN MY OLD HOME. THEY EXPLAINED THE UNITS THAT COULD BE PURCHASED. THEY SHOWED ME WHICH UNITS SAVED THE MOST MONEY IN THE LONG RUN. THEY HAD SEVERAL PAYMENT OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM. THEY HAD DIFFERENT TYPES OF UNITS TO CHOOSE FROM. OVERALL, THEY HELPED ME SAVE $$$. WITH MR WARD'S HELP I SELECTED THE BEST UNIT FOR MY HOUSE, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY SAVE ME MONEY OVER TIME.
