Shotty service

They suck! They don't fix things correctly, they don't answer their phone, they don't show up when they're supposed to - I had them out two and a half weeks ago because the unit was leaking.

The guy put new insulated foam around the drain pipes around the unit and called it a day - here we are, two and a half weeks later, and the drain is so plugged up the unit quit working. We tried cleaning the drain and so much crap came out, it's pitiful and still clogged up! Gee - you would think a professional AC repair technician would have checked and ensured this wasn't the problem before he left! But here we are, waiting for a guy who was supposed to be here at 12:30 and is now 45 minutes late, with no call from the office or the technician to keep us up to date.

But we did get told it was going to cost more money for them to come back out to fix something they should have fixed the first time! This is not the first issue we've had with them.

It's just the latest! I think we need to find a more professional service who can stay true to their word!

Pros:
  • Still searching for that answer
Cons:
  • Do not ensure quality service

Preferred solution: The system fixed and running correctly and not charged twice for something they should’ve checked and fixed two plus weeks earlier!

User's recommendation: Good luck!

You're lucky they show up at all in peak season. These units fail over time : fact.

The time to prepare your AC isn't July, it's April. Don't F around so long and get on a regular maintenance schedule that is timely and efficient.

Won't show up for service appointment

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had a service appointment this morning. The temperature's been in the 90s and my a/c, which was installed by Aire Serv in October of 2021, hasn't been working.

I was supposed to be the second appointment of the day. They estimated their arrival around 10. At 11, Carly called to inform me that they were running late and would arrive by 1. When they didn't show by 2, I called.

I was now told their arrival was due by 3 or 3:30. When there was still no one at 4, I called and was given the runaround. 'Joe' finally returned my call 45 minutes after my 4:00pm query when he had promised to return my call in 5 minutes. He informed me that the technician had skipped my appointment, hence the six-hour delay, and counting.

He expected the technician to finish around 5 and would call me. I expressed my frustration to Joe, stating that I had been hearing such promises all day and didn't believe him anymore.

He gave me his cell number, and I informed him that I would call him at 6:00pm if I hadn't heard from the technician. Now, it's 5:45pm, and there's been no communication.

Never tried to run a business have you ? Things don't always go as "expected".

Especially in the repair business ; what you thought was a quick replacement turns out to be a 3 hour ordeal for one reason or another. Or worse.

Have a heart and some common sense and don't use one bad day in a 250 working day year as an excuse to try to squeeze money from them ; that is despicable. "Price reduction" BS.

Poor Service

I called for an estimate on installation of central air and a possible new furnace. The person who showed up said to me someone like me was looking for something; he knew I was getting other estimates.

Didnt know what he ment by that. Then he said I could afford Ameri Serv but they couldnt afford me?

So this guy is in my house talking smack cause Im getting estimates. I never got an estimate sent nor was not told one wasnt coming.

Using words like "possible" aren't going to stimulate anyone. You're using his time, currently for free, and you admit that perhaps you misunderstood.

("meant", not "ment").

Don't bug honest, busy hard working merchants if you're not serious. Their time is their most precious asset.

Quick response

Last night when my a/c did not start back up after a power outage, I left a message hoping to just talk to a technician. Tamara called me back within 30 minutes and reassured me that my a/c might come back on (I live in a high rise) but she would schedule me for a visit first thing the next morning.

That was just what I needed to keep from panicking! Sure enough the a/c did come back on later that night, but I mostly appreciate the call back so I didn't lose my mind completely!

Our air conditioning went out in the house. Chris came out right away and knew what to do.

He was professional, friendly and knew we were in good hands. He fixed the problem within a couple of hours, and we have not had any other issues.

I would highly recommend Chris to anyone needing A.C. service especially in this area.

High prices , low quality work

I made the mistake of calling aire serve again, I truly regret giving them another chance to screw me over.

I had them install a furnace for me back in 2018?? I thought that the new furnace was a lot better , heard alot more air coming from it , come to find out , they only put screws on the front of the sheet metal that goes over the A coil and just taped the reste of the seams ,very poor work .

On 12/22/23 , I heard a dripping sound coming from my water heater , I made the mistake of calling Aire Serve and thought that since they had installed the water heater for me in 2019 , that they mihght give a break on the repair , I was so wrong and feel so stupid for giving them another chance , the first" technician" diagnosed the problem as a bad tank and said it needed to be replaced , , when the 2nd "technician showed up , he found out the drain vave and leaking were it went into the tank , and charged me $400 to replace the drain valve.

My washer and dryer needed to be removed to acces my water heater and they wanted to charge me $250 to remove it , I had friend help me instead and it took less that 10 minutes to get it out

I will never give Aire Serve another chance to burn me again and will tell almost every one I meet what high prices they charge and what poor quality work they do. voida

The water heater issue is between you and the manufacturer. It's not so simple as the retail seller being expected to replace or repair 4 year old equipment which is used daily, continuously.

Have you had your water analyzed ? Sometimes the inner tanks are quickly corroded (as well as the draining spigot).

Shouldn't block access to major equipment ; it isn't too bright to put major appliances in front of the tank unit. Be sure that thing isn't venting carbon monoxide into your house if it's gas operated.

What I was sold and what I received were two very different things.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY OR DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I engaged Aire Serv of Suwanee to put in two new HVAC systems and to modify the existing ductwork in the basement only to be told AFTER the installation that I now need to pay an additional $14K over what I already paid to get the systems to run correctly.

Air only flows from half the vents in the downstairs and basement, the second-floor unit no longer sends air to the office and we keep getting high humidity alerts. When I brought this to Anthony, the owner of the company, I was first ignored for several weeks and then finally told that what we were sold by Ben, his salesman, was wrong and that the only way to get the systems to work as promised is to give him an additional $14K to replace the brand new units he just sold us.

Estimate for equipment replacement.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I received an estimate per my request of $5,380 on May 28, 2021, for a 2.5 ton, 14 seer heat pump and a Coleman air handler due to my concern over rusting evaporator coils in the air handler on the almost 10-year-old unit (at the time of the estimate). I still had a warranty until March 2022 on the existing unit due to purchasing a 10-year warranty when the system was installed by Aire Serv.

I was told by the owner (Christy Moore at the time) to wait until the warranty ran out to replace. On Oct. 17, 2022, I had the fall checkup performed and discussed the rusting coils with the technician. He didn't advise either way but I ask for another estimate to have the system replaced.

Don Boyce came to my home on Oct. 17, 2022, and gave an estimate of $10,097 to replace the inside and outside unit as I was quoted $5,380 in May of 2021 that I have a copy of and showed that to Don. I was left no paperwork for the quote I received from Don and he said he would talk to the new owner about the price as I told him that was unreal for an increase to be almost 50 percent over a year's time. I asked for a quote to be emailed to me and it was with the price change of $9,700, which is still off the charts.

I also paid for the service agreement when the tech came out for next year not knowing I would not be using them for the new install due to the price point Don quoted. I asked for a refund for the $201.76 for the service agreement and was told it's a non-refundable charge and they would talk to the new owners.

I've used this company for many years and my parents did too. I would not recommend this company.

Poor Installation and Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Aire Serv - Poor Installation and Service
Explore video interviews

In April of 2019 we had Aire Serv install a 4UseDo not use-ton Trane air conditioning and heating unit in our home. We chose Aire Serv out of 4 estimates we received from reputable companies based on price and warranty, as Aire Serv offered a labor warranty that lasted the length of the manufacturers parts warranty.

We received our quote from Taylor with Aire Serv and continued to stay in touch with him until we made the decision to use the company. He informed us on the install date, the size of the crew to expect (3), and the estimated time the job should take, which was a day to remove our existing 20-year-old unit and put in a new unit. In our install we were to receive new copper freon lines, an upgraded drain system, a new return to our upstairs bonus room, a new drain pain upstairs, a new compressor unit outside and a new heating unUseit and condenser in the attic. On the day of the of the install, at approximately 8am, one young man showed up.

I asked him if he would be working alone, he told me that he would eventually have help. He continued to go about disconnecting the outside compressor. Approximately an hour later, another individual showed up and began assisting him. I called Taylor and asked where the crew of three were.

He told me they were pulled to another job, but not to worry, when they were done, they would be on to my home. During this time, work was gong slowly and I noticed the first male who showed up to my home was on the phone a lot and at times was simply walking down the street on his phone arguing with someone. I joked to the other installer, Women problems, huh?. He said, Yeah, this guys girlfriend is always doing this.

At approximately noon, I noticed there was now one vehicle outside and no one working. I assumed they had gone to lunch and would return. I again called Taylor who told me that they had gone to lunch. The second installer showed back up alone and told me that the first installer who started the job went home sick.

I was getting concerned as by now half the day had gone by and the job was not half done. I again called Taylor to express my concerns and he told me that he would have it handled as he was pulling an installer now. About an hour later Taylor showed up with another person. Taylor went to work instructing them on what needed to be done and working on the install himself.

Work progressed but not before time ran out Taylor was able to get the system cooling before he left at a little after 8pm that night but the job was far from complete. He told me that he would return to complete everything, but that we should be in functioning condition with no worries for now. During the installation, Taylor cut *** in the attic wall to the outside of the house to run the new copper refrigerant line, which he said was necessary. He put a gray mastic around the hole to insulate it.

We were not aware when Taylor went over what to expect that we would have a hold cut into the house and this exposed copper line. This alter the cosmetics of our home. My wife contacted the franchise owner to voice her frustration. He informed my wife that this should not have happened and that they could cover the line to make it less noticeable.

It was at that time that she learned that Taylor was the son in law of the owner. Taylor returned the next week with another helper to finish the job. They covered the exposed copper pipe that they had run outside, sealed the system, finished the ducting checked for leaks. It was at that time that we paid Aire Serv.

Approximately one month later on May 30, we noticed that the unit was not cooling and the line outside was frozen. We contacted Taylor, who sent someone out that day and noticed that the refrigerant had completely leaked out from a loose connection in the attic. It was sealed and the unit was refilled with freon. On September 6, 2019, my wife noticed a water stain in the hallway downstairs.

She showed this to me then went upstairs to the bathroom to investigate further. She was shocked to see a very large water stain above the bathtub. She immediately opened the attic and looked only to find that water was rapidly dripping from the drain line of the unit. By the time we arrived back downstairs water was exiting from the door sill of one of the bedrooms.

We put a pan under the leak, my wife turned off the unit and we again, called Taylor. He did not answer the phone, but my wife left a detailed message about the issue. We did not receive a return call before 1pm, by which time I had to leave for work. I called Aire Serv and the person who answered the phone, Christy, told me that Taylor had spoken to my wife and that there was a plumber in route.

I told her that Taylor had not spoken to my wife. She said, Then how did he know what the issue was?, I told her because my wife left him a detailed message. I called my wife and relayed what I had learned. At approximately 3pm a plumber arrived and inspected the drain, as Taylor had assumed it was a drain clog creating the issue.

The plumber assessed that the issue was from a broken rubber coupler that had been put on during the install and told my wife that it was a serious leak but that he could not fix it, that AirServ would have to send an HVAC repair person out. I again contacted Taylor and was able to get in touch with him. I asked him why a rubber elbow that was held on by clamps was used on a pvc joint instead of a pvc elbow. He told me that that rubber elbow needed to be in place to allow for expansion and allow the drain to breath.

I had not heard of this as a plumbing principle, but maybe it has to be done in HVAC work. He told me he was sending out a HVAC repairman to fix the issue and he would be at our home within 45 minutes. I called my wife and she confirmed that she had spoken to the repair person they dispatched and that he would be out within the hour. He showed up, replaced the elbow with one exactly like the one that failed and left.

I contacted Taylor and asked him what was to be done about the water damage, as I was concerned about mold. He told me that they were working on that and that the had the pictures of the damage that my wife had sent. After two unreturned calls from Taylor the next day, I began to attempt to contact the franchise owner. I called him for five business days and was always told that he was busy and that he would return my call.

During this time, I received two estimates to have the damage repaired. Both in the range of $300. On the last attempt, I talked to Debbie, who told me that Taylor had my information and that he would be taking care of it. I called Taylor the next day which was Friday.

He told me that he was sending a drywall repair person out that they contracted named Manning and that I would receive a call from him. After not hearing from Taylor nor Manning by Tuesday of the next week, I again called Taylor, but got no answer. He called me back approximately one hour later and told me that he had spoken to Manning and that he did not contact me because he did not have my address. He told me that I would be contacted today.

He also told me that he would come out, inspect the drain again and add insulation around it to ensure we would not have any further issues or damages. A person eventually came out to patch, (spray paint over), the area, but the patch failed and now I have to find a professional to fix it correctly. I have since had my previous HVAC company come out and inspect the unit. He lifted the unit where the plenum met the furnace as they were not even and was causing an air leak and a build-up of condensation that exited the bottom.

He sealed the leaks on the plenums backside that were taking in air and causing whistling and checked over the rest of the system.

He suggested I install an attic fan, which I did, and have had no further issues. He now regularly services my system.

Young Saul solved our complaint of no heat below 32degrees.

After observing conditions of the bsmt furnace he noticed that the gas valve and switch for the gas burner was shut.Upon opening these valves furnace was now operable and restored to service. after cleaning out burner orifices checking

freon pressues and completing other items on his check list he completed his job.

When done he explained what correction he made and what he did.
