YouTubeHey all, someone helped themselves to the guts of my AC unit and I need to get it replaced. I was just wondering if anyone could recomend a local company. Also what brands are good and reliable?
Thanks in advance

We used Quality Air for fixing a leak on our furnace before we moved in. They did a good job... fairly priced... quick response time.

We're probably going to replace our heater and ac this summer or fall though, and not sure who we'll use or what brand yet. So I'm also interested in suggestions.

I'll second Quality Air.
My furnace died within a week of moving into my house. (Fortunately it was covered under the home warranty.) Quality Air was great. They brought me a portable heater to borrow for the night, and then came back to fix it the next day. They also rotated the direction of the furnace to be better accessed in the future. My 100 year old house had the furnace opening in a very tight spot. Whomever installed the furnace 20 years before that hadn't bothered to do that.
The furnace is only 4 years old but has held up perfectly since installation.

I've been using Cardinal. It's a one man operation. He's been super... figured out why my heater cut out in the middle of last winter, quickly and cheaply fixed the problem, and gave me lots of solid advice on how to keep the problem from recurring.

Hey there - I had my whole system replaced this fall by Favret. My A/C hadn't worked all summer, and my furnace had a couple of biiiig cracks in the heat exchanger. It was a pretty big job (weirdness with the exhaust/chimney), and after looking at a couple different options, I ended up doing the whole efficiency ball of wax, so I could take advantage of the $1500 credit. I was really pleased with the work they did, the way they did it and goodness knows, my house has never been as comfy as it is now.
They are local, but bigger; they only use employees, not contractors. A couple of the installers had been with the company for 5+ years, and the sales guy was with them for 15+ - which I thought spoke highly of the company, and was unusual for such a business.

Had to have them return after their 'maintenance' work was done very poorly.I also wanted them to recomend a new unit when I first moved in and they rescheduled me and then later just didn't show up.

I had a guy from Favret come to our home after we bought to give us a quote on a new furnace/AC. He looked around, took some notes, and said he'd get back to me. That was October. I'm still waiting. Perhaps he got hit buy a bus...I shouldn't judge.

Contractors are notoriously bad. I can't tell you how many times that I ask for quotes for something, they come out and you just never hear from them again. I usually ask if they're still interested after I tell them what I need and they say that they are. They should at least have the common courtesy to tell you that they are not interested and won't be giving you a quote.
On my day job I am constantly chasing Contractors around for something or another. It's so frusterating. I'm often asking myself if they're stupid or just lazy.
I have a few Contractor's that do work for me personally and that I'm very happy with. Unfortunately, I have no found an HVAC company/guy. I do a lot of the work myself, but at some point I'm going to run into a situation where I can not

Does anyone know of a good contractor to service a boiler? My home is heated with a Hydrotherm boiler (we have radiators). The heat is great - nice and even throughout the house. I've kept it going but I've reached my confidence limit in boiler maintenance and repair.
