I was completely satisfied with the service.
The service representative arrived on time and inspected our A/C. He found a problem with the A/C marginal capacitor and explained in detail what we can expect. We decided to have him perform the repairs and he completed it while he was here.
He was very professional and did a fantastic job. We will be using their services in the future.
Because he did so well. I am having a sales rep look at what it would take to go to a new unit. I figure the cost of electricity savings could well make it worth while with a more up to date unit.
Thank you Derek and Total AC/H.
Flash forward to June 2012 when the unit died for good. We called Josh in again after getting two proposals from other highly rated Angie's List HVAC providers. Again Josh gave us three options. He also recommended important repairs to corrected the horrible duct work put in by the sub-contractor when we built our home in 1996. To make things even better, Josh told us about a zero-financing special available through Home Depot.
The install went with just one hitch. There was a manufacturer's defect in the first A/C unit. This was swapped out and the system was up and running by the end of the day. The technicians were experienced, professional, and cleaned up wherever they might have made a mess. We opted to go with a moderately priced Trane 14 Seer System. I delayed my review because I wanted to test both the A/C and Heating units. After nearly nine months they have operated flawlessly and I have definitely noticed a reduction in both my electric and gas bills.
Our second heating unit is due for replacement and we will definitely call on Total Air and Heat to perform the work.
Chad came out on Friday, 1/18, and determine there was not enough air flow into the bedroom. After examining the duct system in the attic he determined that part of the reason was that the duct supplying the master bed & bath was split into two smaller ducts at a "Y", with one going to the bedroom and the other to the bath. He suggested that individual runs should be installed, with a 9" duct going to the bedroom and a smaller (7" I think) to the bathroom. He also indicated that dampers would be installed into three ducts so we would be able to adjust the air flow as needed.
He said he couldn’t guarantee that this would entirely fix the problem but it would be an improvement to what we now have. He was able to schedule the installation on Monday, 1/21, at 8:30AM.
On Monday the installers arrived right on time. (Unfortunately I have forgotten their names.) Both were pleasant and professional and they gave me the feeling that they know what they’re doing. We went to the attic and they explained in detail exactly what they were going to do. The floor was covered from the front door, up the stairs and to the ladder entry to the attic to protect the carpeting. Work was completed in about 1 1/2 hours. They had me accompany them into the attic to examine the installation and so they could explain to me how to adjust the dampers.
During the next two days I experienced more air flow into the bedroom than ever before, to the point that some of the air flow had to be close off! I had some trouble moving the damper so I called Total Air and explained the problem I was having. I expected that they would be here in one or two days, but they scheduled someone the same day. The tech arrived in 2 hours and fixed the problem.
They did a great job, from identifying the problem to fixing it. Can’t wait to experience a much cooler bedroom this Summer!
The price was well worth the results.
