Get matched with top furnace / forced air heating system install or replace pros in Halethorpe, MD

"we had a Bosch boiler hot water combo system installed in the spring of last year for $9500. We used the heating system on some cool days and nights, so it seemed to do the job of heating our home. This year is the first time we have used it for the entire winter. If the temperatures are mild the system works okay. If the temperature drops below 30 degrees it will not heat our home. We were able to keep the house warm thanks to our pellet stove. In Hine sight, We wish we would have stayed with the conventional boiler system for about half of what we paid for this inadequate system. buyers know what you are getting into before you buy."

"The technician was extremely thorough. Replace the thermostat batteries and furnace filter (I provided the parts), checked for any carbon monoxide leaks, checked the condition of furnace components, and found some bare wires that he taped up."

"I have had a service contract with McCrea Heating and Cooling since I purchased my condo unit new 7 1/2 years ago which included 2 maintenance visits a year. My current contract expired yesterday so I called to renew my service contract and upgrade from "Bronze" to "Silver." The representative took my charge card information over the phone. I asked if the contract was in effect as of today. They said "yes." Then I tried to schedule a service call (my unit was serviced a little over a month ago and now the condo wasn't cooling.) I was told then that the Silver Contract would NOT be in effect after all. The difference in price between Bronze and Silver is the cost of a diagnostic visit so they were getting the money one way or another. My long time history with the company did not persuade them to honor the contract I had just paid for. They wanted to charge me $98 to have my problem diagnosed under the Bronze contract that I pointed out was already expired. I was told the representative "misspoke" and should have told me they would have to send out someone to determine whether the furnace they have been maintaining for the past 7 years (with the most recent service call just a month ago) would "qualify" for the Silver plan. So, I cancelled the order for the Silver Plan. I called another company who came out for $30 and determined the problem was a clogged condensation drain. This drain was supposed to have been "blown out" when the regular maintenance was done by McCrea just a month ago, but obviously was not. The water was backed up in the drain pipe and filled the pan under the furnace/AC unit which turned off the AC. Now that everything is working again, I am seeking a different maintenance service plan provider. McCrea has competitive service contract prices, but if they have no customer loyalty, and the maintenance work is not done properly, maybe it's a question of "you get what you pay for.""

"I found Edwin on HomeAvisor/Angie's List. We were having some heat issues and wanted to have some basic maintenance. Edwin 'had extensive knowledge about each of our systems, and was able to troubleshoot and provide us with various courses of action. The attic heat pump was replaced and he was very fair with his prices. They did an excellent job, and sympathizes with his customers. He replaced the system on a Saturday."

"Doug at Bamford came on time and had the water heater installed without any problems. Smooth service from start to finish.

"During the initial service visit, the representative (Xavier) gave a detailed explanation of the condition of the HVAC system and the repair options. I hired JDL and two days later they arrived first thing in the morning to install a new system (furnace and A/C). The quality of their work and products recommended are excellent. I highly recommend their services."

"I had a high efficacy heat pump system installed by ARS 11/2 ago. I am used to gas furnace so understanding how heat pump works is an education. The mechanic was very patient in explaining how it works and what to look for if there is an issue. Of course this cold season a got an high unexpected bill from the electric company and was baffled because of the amount I spent on this high efficiency unit. They came out looked at and found no issue. They explained this was a very unusual cold season and the unit performed accordingly for sub freezing condition. They did leave a card and said if I see anytjing that look unusual please give them a call asap. The mechanic was very knowledgeable."

"Changed the brand of heat pump to be installed 24 hours before installation with no prior notice."

"Mr. Bost did an excellent job for me for a reasonable price. I know he obtained the best deal for me on the furnace and the air conditioning unit. He answered all my questions. He was on the job when he said he would be; he was professional and courteous. The installation went smoothly, and I have had no problem with the furnace or air conditioner since they were installed in 2008."

"Great service and fair pricing ! Most importantly they were on time, respectful of my home and did above and beyond what they were supposed to do . I had a problem with my heating system and they came on a moment notice and took care of my problem Thank you guys !"
