Get matched with top central a/c installers in Shrewsbury, PA

"In researching the installation of a brand new central air system I got four bids. Dean's Heating & Air Conditioning saved us from the over-charging, poorer quality large commercial options - which there are too many of. Michael Dean is a conscientious, experienced craftsman who takes pride in his work, joy in figuring out challenging jobs, and backs up his work with a personal guarantee that means something when your name is on the business. The team did a full design and installation of a two-zone, 6-ton Trane central air conditioning system without taking up an inch of our living space. Amazing! One large company didn't even want to bid on the job when they learned that our historic 1920 Dutch Colonial home had no existing ductwork. Michael and his team took on the challenge, finding space in the walls, attic, and basement that I didn't even know we could use. We couldn't be happier with the result: perfectly cut openings for the vents and returns, beautiful ductwork, and a personal guarantee that I believe in. I couldn't recommend Dean's more highly."

"Added a hard start to my existing A/C, after the previous company that installed it neglected to do so. Highly recommend this company. Punctual, Personable and the absolutely the PRIME HVAC contractor I’ve found in my area. Thank you!"

"They did a great job. They were very fairly priced and the two installers were very professional and competent."

"My husband and I used Freedom Comfort for new Central Air unit and furnace. Brian did great job and completed work in timely manner. Larry was thorough in breaking down different systems and performance. We are waiting to hear back to schedule another service with them."

"One of the best contractor experiences we have ever had. Jim called the day before to confirm the appointment. Larry the Plumber was so nice to deal with. He put on she covers to protect my wood floors, worked very neatly and gave us some tips about ongoing maintenance. He did a perfect job. This review us for Petro in central NJ. i was not able to change the company location. We hired them through Amazon."

"I recommend this company to anyone who has HVAC issues. Very thorough and professional."

"After several repairs over a couple of years we decided to replace our 14 year old central AC system with a new heat pump system. We got quotes from 3 companies, and decided to go with B.A.R. Appliances AC LLC based on past experience, extended warranty, and very competitive costs. The entire installation was efficient and professional. I found Henry and his staff a pleasure to deal with. They left me with a nice clean system and I would highly recommend B.A.R. Appliances AC LLC for any HVAC work. It's nice to have quality work done in this day and age!"

"Mike and his team were amazing, we ended up upgrading both our furnace and installing a central air system in April, all for a really great price. I love that this is a veteran owned company as well, it is always nice to do business with other vets when possible. I highly recommend them!"

"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."
