Get matched with top central a/c installers in Beaverdam, VA

"This is the second time we have bought a HVAC system from them (we have upstairs and downstairs units). Ryan showed up for the estimate exactly on time. He carefully inspected everything (even took a video under the house) and then laid out several options for us. He really knows systems. He suggested a special filter system because my wife has asthma. We selected what we wanted and made an appointment for installation. The team that came to do the installation was also punctual. They were polite, professional, and hard working. They were also pretty quick. There was a lot to do to replace our system, and they were done in half a day! One of them stayed behind when they were through to help me program our new wifi thermostats, which ended up not being easy. He was so patient through this process. They cleaned everything up very well. Our system is working really well. This company exceeded my expectations with after-the-sale service. Wow. I recommend them!"

"The company was extremely responsive - to emails, calls, and text messages. They provided a fair quote and, the day after we hired them, performed the service. The old system was removed and the new one installed quickly, professionally, and with no damage to very old plaster walls. Great work and a fantastic team!"

"Everyone from Hopewell office set up everything, including setting up to having a crane place the HVAC on top of the condo. All the installers were Professional and just wonderful. They gave info on all they were doing. I give them an outstanding rating!"

"The install will be accomplished on Monday, June 2."

"Not install, maintaince check tune up Also water heater replacement"

"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!!"

"Element Heating and Cooling did an excellent install of our HVAC system. Very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommend."

"I had my SC evaporator unit freeze up right before the temps started reaching 100. I called that night, and they came out the next morning to investigate. ( had to wait for the unit to defrost before they could diagnose it) We discovered that it was low on Freon, which caused the freezing, but when we opened up the cover to the evaporator, it was completely rusted. The lack of airflow caused the unit to rust out. This was the original AC installed 24 years ago. They also discovered that the builder undersized all the duct-work. the size of the return, couldn't supply enough air to the system. (yes, i checked the math, and they were correct). They gave me several options on replacing the unit, and I went with the most efficient, highest SEER rating, since we're planning on staying in the house at least another 10 years. They replaced both the furnace, and the AC unit, and ran all new, larger duct-work, they arrived promptly at 8 AM, and the crew finished up around 6 PM. There was an issue with the mainboard controller (factory problem), and they followed up and replaced it. The whole crew was polite, friendly, and cleaned up after themselves. The new unit is much quieter, the airflow downstairs is dramatically better, and hopefully, I'l start to see those energy savings in my next Dominion Power bill :)"

"Sooo....first, Jim is a very nice guy.  However, Jim now works in Nashville during the week and is only home to the Huntsville area on the weekends.
My first impression of him was that he was awesome.  My computer system had crashed because I pulled the plug during a thunder storm before the computer fully shut down which resulted in the computer hanging up.  Jim took my call while in Tennessee and suggested how to fix the system.  For this I am very grateful.

What happened next was I had him come and check my computer to make sure everything was working properly.  He came to my house and spent an hour tweaking it (basically running various checks on the system), for which I paid him $50.  He suggested that my laptop would work much better if I had Windows 7 and increased my RAM up to 4 GB.  He said he could install it for me for (including the RAM) for about $160.  We met the following weekend for the handoff and he loaded Window 7.  When I received the call it was ready, the bill was $227.50.  I was surprised that is was $70 more than quoted, but paid it anyways.  When I asked about the RAM, he mentioned he did not upgrade the RAM and this would be another $60.  I was a little discouraged at that point since I felt like I was being taken advantage of, but the guy is relatively nice, so I said to go ahead and order the RAM.  He did so and the following weekend was supposed to install it.  Due to some personal things in his life, he wasn't able to install it, so I picked it up since I had to go out of town and could use the IT guy at my new location to install it for me.  When we went to install the RAM, the system wouldn't let us do it since my particular type of laptop can only take 2GB of RAM max.  If Jim had gone to the crucial.com website (where he bought my RAM) and entered my computer system on it, it would have told him the max amount of RAM that could be installed on that unit.  He did not do that.  He is supposed to refund my $60 this next weekend.

I think if Jim wasn't burning the candle at both ends by having a job in Tennessee during the week and trying to run this business on the weekends, it would've been a better experience.  Perhaps taking a few extra minutes to SLOW DOWN and write out an estimate of everything he would need for the job including the prices would ensure people know up front how much the repair would/should cost so they can budget accordingly.  I think if he had taken that approach, it might've been a better experience.  So now I am stuck with a laptop that runs slower because Windows 7 uses more memory and a laptop that can't be upgraded to more RAM.  Basically, the last step which cost me almost $300 was not necessary.  If you need something simple done like coming back from a system crash, he would be okay to use.  Otherwise, for the bigger jobs, I recommend he provide a written estimate with the items he plans to do.

UPDATE:  After posting this review, I received a number of text messages from Jim commenting on the bad review.  I understand he is upset, but harassing someone about a review is not a good way to go.  My review was honest and not meant to be mean, but to let those that use Angie's list get what they pay for...an honest review of someone's experience."
