"Alanis was prompt in their response to my request for our condenser replacement. We replaced our furnace 4 years ago, then our ac went out when it was 90° outside. John said it was over 30 years old so we decided to replace it. He gave us a great price on a 5 ton Bryant condenser. Best deal out of 3 other companies. The next morning, the team came out and were finished by noon when it started heating up. System works great! Thanks guys."

"Giovanni responded immediately. Was on time, listened to our concerns, provided a timely and competitive quote, and installed our new furnace even quicker than expected. He and his team were friendly, efficient and professional. Cleaned everything up when they were finished. We couldn't be more pleased! Totally recommend GioTherm!"

"Excellent service, prompt, professional, helpful, and friendly.  Answered all of my many questions, even when I had one more after he was already in his truck set to go.  I will definitely use them again and not just for heating concerns if I need a plumber they also do plumbing.

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"Jordan showed up to my home that I just bought and went in to the attic and examined the condition of the ducts and insulation and also went on the roof to inspect my package system and found that it had a leak in the coil and found out that the Freon is obsolete. Helped me with my options and wasn’t pushy at all! Would highly recommend and will be doing service with Long's Air Heating and Cooling from now on!"

"Tech was earlier than quoted which was awesome. Jacob was very informative and kind. I will definitely call Energy Smart for future service."

"I was having a problem with MS Office not responding and other files being very, very slow to open. Jim started looking for the cause right away. He did numerous checks for viruses, malware, and various other things that can go wrong. He vigorously pursued a resolution pretty steadily for two days before determining it was a malfunctioning external backup system that was causing the problem. With that finding, he promptly got my computer running smoothly and very fast again. He made two trips to my house; on the first one, he had to cross a sheet of ice in my driveway. Jim is a very capable and experienced computer analyst that will get after your problem because he fully understands the importance of, and the need to have a working computer in the house.

"Background:
I picked the wrong type duct cleaing service.  Subsequently I have learned tthere are two main types of duct cleaning services... and I have found they are not equal in their cleaning ability. 
The first type uses a truck mounted large industrial-sized vacuum that is attached to the heating system with large flexible fabric 'hoses"  and sucks large volumes of air through the ducts simultaneously as a pneumatic "beater / flailing wand" is manually threaded by the operator though the ducts to loosen dust and debris contained within the ducts.  The wand is flexible and snakes around bends and right angle corners in the ducts.  The loosened dirt is then rapidly drawn out of the duct and into the vacuum bag filters in the truck.  All the vacuum machinery remains outdoors in the street or your driveway.  I've heard this referred to as a "negative pressure" type duct cleaning system.  This system requires somewhat more time to set up and a sizeable investment in equipment.  This is the type cleaning system I assumed would be used... but wasn't.  It was my fault that I was not aware that other types of duct cleaning systems existed... and therefore did not verify what type system that would be used on my job. 
It turns out the second type duct cleaning system is one that uses a rotating brush mounted on the end of long hose attached to a man-portable vacuum cart that is wheeled into and through your home (about the size of a patio barbeque).  The grills on your home's heating outlets and return air inlets are removed and the hose with rotating brush on the end is inserted into each outlet and inlet by the operator.  The hose is then pushed as far down each duct as the hose length will allow (usually 30' to 35' for the 40' hoses commonly used).  The hose typically does not go around right angle bends.  The vacuum hose then sucks up dust and debris loosened by the rotating brush... but only for duct lengths not exceeding the hose access length.    I've heard this referred to as a "roto-brush" type duct cleaning system.  This system requires much less time to set up...a much much smaller investment in equipment and can easily be transported in the back of a family SUV.  This is the type of duct cleaning system that was used on my job... but I wasn't expecting.  Again, this was my problem that I did not verify the type of system to be used. 
Aegis used a roto-brush system which didn't have a vacuum hose length adequate to access the full length of my home's ducts as it turns out.  I was not told of this situation... and the operators themselves may not have been aware of it... although they should have been.  I believe they said their hose was 40' long.  Unknown to me... but discovered a week or so later... large lengths (at least 6' to 8') of my ducts were not cleaned at all due to inadeqate hose length and/or inability to negotiate around duct bends.  Also I found that remaining dust and debris was still visable through the open outlet & inlet ducts immediately upon "completion" of the cleaning job.  I called this to the attention of the operator (while he was still on site)... who then re-cleaned these duct spaces.  This made me wonder what else hadn't been cleaned adequately.  I later found out. 
Although the two operators turning up to do the job were polite and accommodating... they did not impress me as being very professional.  Hip-hop shorts, raggedy T-shirts and flip-flops did not strike me as appropriate dress for a professional service coming into a person's home.  They arrived in an unmarked personal SUV with out-of-state plates (Calif.  I think) with the roto-brush machine loaded in the back.  After being on the job site for a few minutes...one of the two operators said he had a headache and needed to go to a drug store to get some aspirin.  He didn't return until the job was nearly completed by the second operator in a little over an hour or so. 
Their job price was about half of what I have paid in the past for professional duct cleaning by a contractor using a negative pressure duct cleaning system.   I mistakenly assumed I would be getting the same type service... but at half the price.  My error.  In the future I will only engage contractors using the negative pressure type system and specializing in duct cleaning.  To me it's worth the added price given the better results I've experience with negative pressure vacuum systems. 
For those homeowners having duct work compatible with a roto-brush cleaning system (shorter staight duct runs, no sharp duct bends, visibility allowing verification the cleaning has been done adequately, etc.)... I would check out several contractors before selecting one... to find one that is conscientious, professional and effective. 
I did not follow-up with the contractor to complain or request a re-cleaning.  I figured it would not be worth the effort given the nature of their roto-brush system and the hose lengths of their vacuum.  I simply manually vacuumed out the uncleaned sections of duct work myself as best I could... when I later had the furnace taken apart for unrelated repairs.  But, all things considered... I personally will not use Aegis again.
