"Excellent service! I had a 26yr old A/C and Propane furnace that I wanted to update to an ALL ELECTRIC high efficiency heat pump. The price in the estimate was much higher than I was expecting, but they worked with me and brought it down considerably, provided I could accept an install slot in a couple of days due to a cancellation. Go for it, I thought! Unfortunately, it turned out that the estimator/salesman (who shall remain nameless) apparently got a bit confused and set up the equipment as a hybrid propane system - not the all-electric system that I wanted. Ugh. I only realized this when the installers had the indoor unit in place, and I saw the propane burners. Doh! So, I explained the situation to them, and they pulled the unwanted unit out and jumped through the hoops to order the correct unit and its accessories (wiring, breakers etc.), with no change to the price. They were very friendly and polite through all of this even though it meant the wasted work and that they had to come back the next day with the new IDU. Anyway, the final install all went well, and they were very friendly and respectful of the property and explained all the install details as they went (sorry Melvin, for all the pestering!) I'm very happy with the company and the installer's knowledge and professionalism. RECOMMENDED!"

"I have been using Advanced Environmental Solutions for over 18 years. Initially I had them take care of routine maintenance and repairs of my HVAC system. In 2018 I did over a $200,000 complete home renovation. I called upon AES to completely redo my single home HVAC to a 3-system installation. I also had them take care of upgrading my electrical panel and installing a new subpanel to support my new professional kitchen. Prior to doing the work, the team came to my house and did a complete survey of what would be required. Once done - John Davis came to my home and explained what they found, their recommendation and the best options and costs associated with my options. Once we get the right mix agreed upon, they set-up a schedule to do the work ensuring that we were not in anyway inconvenienced. We were thrilled with the work and professionalism of the team. My daughter decided to completely gut their home in 2018 and we called upon AES to take care of their home like ours. If you are looking for the finest in professionalism for HVAC and electrical work - and want to be treated like a member of the family and not an end point dollar - then I highly recommend AES. I have been recommending them forever and will continue to do so!!"

"Aside from installing a new Carrier gas furnace, they installed a state-of-the-art thermostat. The comfort specialist, Chris B., was very responsive and helpful in helping me decide what to buy, as well as providing help after installation. The two installers, Chris M. and Justin B. were very personable and very neat during removal and installation of the furnaces. Overall, very satisfied. Very commendable job."

"They installed a new boiler and central air conditioning in my DC rowhome and did a fantastic job. Joe answered all of my questions and they stayed on schedule with the project which was great because it was a larger project. I would highly recommend their services for the quality of workmanship and their prices were very reasonable as well. I will contact them again for future HVAC work in the DC area."

"I closed the deal with Julian on late Tuesday night and the team was able to do the installation the next morning! Jesse gave me the details on the team as the ink was drying. They arrived on time first thing in the morning. Dan, Cal and Greg were a great team that stayed active all day. Seriously over 12 hours! They installed a new Hot water heater and an 18 Seer Lennox Heat Pump with Honeywell Humidifier and Honeywell Home Thermostats. My 17 year old system was tightly packed into the basement. I think the basement was built around it. They replaced everything...ducts, hoses, fuses boxes, wires and pipes. Everything was insulated and finally brought to code with new sensors and alarms. After working all day, they ended the evening cleaning up and taking me through the system in great detail. It has only been a couple hours but everything is running great. I talked to several vendors when making my choice. I liked several of them and they dealt with my silly process. Julian was very thorough with his pitch. He told me about the factors that differentiates them from the others. I believe I made a great choice. Merry Christmas!"

"When my A/C system went out, my home warranty company (Old Republic) called Modern Mechanical to do the service call.   On the initial call they identified the fan motor was busted, and came back to replace it later that week after ordering the part... but they could not mount it properly because the bottom bracket was rusted out.  At this point I inquired about replacing the whole unit (25 years old, well past its useful lifespan).  While the home warranty wouldn't cover full replacement, Modern Mechanical did give me a complete estimate for a replacement heat pump and air exchanger, including a discount for parts/labor covering the work already done on the old unit.  The estimate was fair and based on the quality of their work done so far I went ahead with it.  They hauled away the old unit, installed the new one, custom-cut the duct work to fit, fully sealed and insulated all joints, ducts and piping, and tested the new unit before signing off on it.  The repair team was prompt and thorough, did a good job with the estimate, equipment recommendation and installation, and I would definitely recommend them for this type of major HVAC installation project."
