Ace Air Conditioning & Heating Service Inc

During the night of January 6, 2015 as the temperature fell to 14 degrees, my gas furnace stopped heating.  We called Ace Air Conditioning & Heating at 8:00 am on the 7th and they arrived at my home in Vienna at 11:00 am with the bad news that the heat exchanger was cracked (after 17 years) and the furnace needed replacing. Oscar and Garlin arrived at 8:00 am on the 8th and by 3:00 pm had installed a new Lennox gas furnace. Ace had expertly installed the Lennox furnace, air conditioner and heat pump 17 years ago and has  maintained them ever since, so I never even considered calling anyone else.  Being centrally located in Fairfax county at the Fairfax Circle, they responded quickly considering the cold snap that had hit the area.  I strongly recommend Ace for all your heating and air conditioning needs.

Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly

Very well. The technician was very professional and thorough.

I purchased the deal for AC inspection and sent them the preferred dates for appointment and they responded back the their next available appointment was over a month away on December 29 after 12. I could not wait that long to have my unit diagnosed so I asked for a refund and they informed me I needed to get it from Angie's List. They did not offer any other appointment options.

JR was great! Very knowledgeable, honest, pleasant and polite. I will definitely use them again!

I came across this company at a home show after dealing with many companies that did not keep their appointment to come to my home for an estimate. I had a great heating system in the upstairs of my home and needed it extended to the basement level. An ACE engineer came out to my home to give me an estimate in a timely and professional manner. I really appreciated that they did not try to upsell or oversell or push a different project on me.  I was given a very reasonable price. The engineer and a boiler system specialist came out to do the planning and measuring for materials a few days later. The workers came a few days after that and did the work. They were friendly and courteous and professional. They did a great job at a good price. I am so glad to have found this company and I now have a warm dry basement.

Technician came on time and did a very thorough inspection of the heating system, cleaned it up and answered every question I had. I ended up purchasing the annual inspection for heating and a/c, price was competitive with others I had looked at. Very professional.

See notes above.

Checked outside and inside units to insure both were working properly.  Also,  provided very helpful advice regarding the maintenance of the furnace and usefulness of a maintenance contract.  Work completed very professionally in a quick and neat manner.

Clark, the technician, was excellent.  He was on time, courteous, and worked efficiently.  He even put on shoe covers so not to dirty the floors.  He did not mind and answered all my questions about the systems while working.  He was very knowledgeable and offered maintenance advice to keep the systems running smoothly.  I would certainly use his services again in the future.

The provider could not service my needs within the time frame needed. I needed it done sooner.

Ace has been very professional over the past year for maintenance on our very old HVAC and Heat Pump systems. The technician they sent out to us this time was very thorough and explained all aspects in detail. It was obvious he knew what he was talking about. When he encountered an issue, he spent additional time to research the issue and discover the cause. Ace technicians go above and beyond my expectations when they come out to inspect our systems. They are always professional and honest in dealing with such an old system. Never do I feel pressured to upgrade or make additional expenditures.  Thank you!

The job went fine, it was great.  They have taken care of the heating and air conditioning system in the house and I've never had any real problems with it.  Their service people are courteous and they put covers on their shoes.  If you have a problem they are very prompt.  Their prices are reasonable.

I can not begin to express my gratitude to the folks over at Ace.  This was, by far, my best experience with any company that worked on my addition.  The short version of my story is as follows: 
01/23/2014 - My General Contractor broke ground on an addition to my house.
01/23/2014 to 08/25/2014 - Everything that could possibly go wrong with my GC did go wrong.  They were terrible. 
08/25/2014 - We officially terminated the relationship and went out on our own to complete the job.
As of 08/25/2014 when we terminated the contract with our GC my family (Mom, Dad, 5 year old, 2 year old, dog 1 and dog 2) had been out of the house for 2 1/2 months.  We took a leap of faith and started looking for contractors to come in and help us get our house and our lives back.  Ace was recommended to by a friend and we gave them a ring along with 2 other companies. 
JR (estimator from ACE) was incredibly thorough, professional and understanding.  The other two estimators most definitely realized that I was in a very bad place and saw $$$.  JR really took the time to talk to me, review the current state of affairs and discussed options based on his professional opinion.  He made detailed drawings and his quote was turned around in 2 business days. 
The team that they sent to my house (just three business days after signing the deal) were amazing.  Both Oscar and Marlon were just fantastic.  The really took the time to do the job and do it right.  I can not think of a single part of the job that was not done above and beyond my expectations.  Just amazing.  From the re install of my whole house system to the installation of the Mitsubishi unit; these two guys busted there behinds to help us get back home.  Both days they were on site they arrived early and stayed late...all in the name of doing it the right way.  They very easily could have cut corners but they chose to take the time to do it right....
I can not say enough about this company and what they did for my family. 
Thanks you guys....I really do appreciate all that you did.

My builder/contractor grade air conditioner stopped blowing cool air last night.  We live in a circa 1980 townhome in Burke, the unit is a Goodman Manufacturing CPLE24-1A outside system.  I called ACE this morning and asked if a technician was available to come over this morning.  The young lady took my information and replied that a technician could be here before noon.  I did not mention this to the administrative staff, but I did have to take a vacation day for this, and I was incredibly pleased they could send someone out. 

The technician, Ricardo, called when he was dispatched for the job and arrived promptly.  Ricardo was professional and courteous, ACE is fortunate to have him.  Ricardo diagnosed the problem to be the AC unit's capacitor and quickly changed the part.  I lost track of time, but I believe he was in and out in approximately one hour. 

There were no upsells, but I did purchase a service agreement for my AC unit and heat pump.  I do not consider this an upsell because we were actively talking about prevention and service agreements. 

Most importantly, my townhome is nice and cool and my credit card is not burning from the expense.

Call ACE with comfort.

The technician arrived on time, checked the equipment, and didn't come up with any work to be done.  That's always a good thing.

ACE came out on a weekend with very little notice, diagnosed the issue and fixed it all in less than an hour. They replaced the capacitor immediately and checked to make sure the rest of the unit was in shape.  The highly-knowledgeable techs Tim & Gary performed rapid service with a smile. The ACE service team is top notch and would highly recommend them to anyone!
