AC Home Repair service needed - someone honest
Posted by: JohnnyG ()
Date: June 15, 2017 10:20PM

In the Chantilly/Centerville area I'm looking for an honest repair service for my outdoor AC Condenser Unit. Not a ripoff service.
Would like recommendations of a reputable company, so I can also look at there reviews.
Thanks.

We used to use Ace, and were happy with them. But the unit needed replacing (25 years old) and Ace didn't carry the brand we wanted; we wound up with Mann-In, who have been stellar.

I'd recommend either.

Of course the problem with something like this is that nobody has a lot of experience with any of them -- I mean, how many heat pumps/AC units does one homeowner go through? But negative experiences are probably somewhat relevant.

We used to use Keenan many years ago; as soon as they sold out to ARS, we saw service plummet, and switched.

Michael & Sons. They will more likely be the more expensive people but their work is top notch. Had them replace my HVAC(inside and out) and redo some of my plumbing when I was renovating my house. House inspector commended their work. Especially on the plumbing.

Honest and fair. Used after Michael and Sons told me I needed to replace unit and they came and said it's just this one part.

I'd recommend Griffith Energy Services if you want honest. Not cheap, but honest. You get what you pay for.

A+ rating on Angies List and 4.6 stars on Google.

I signed up for the warranty plan offered by Dominion Energy, the electric company. It cost me $5.00 a month added to my bill. Last summer my AC went out. I called them and they had a repair guy come by the next day. The repair was close to $1,000 bucks but all I had to pay was a $50.00 deductible. Just something to consider.

I called this guy named Michael he had his sons hold me down while he tried to fuck me in the ass. He told me I needed a new system for 11 thousand dollars. Advanced heating came out from Manassas and they said I needed a new capacitor and coil cleaning they did that for about 300 bucks and the machine has worked flawlessly for over 3 years now.

I had good experience with Mannix Heating & Cooling. Granted I diagnosed the problem myself, but they listened and did the work. Trane would not sell me the parts.

Jerry Mannix is a former longtime ARS employee. He learned how to do business from them. Some of his employees are ARS people too.

honestly stop being a gov baby get your ass on youtube instructions and do it yourself

otherwise your getting a spic who will fuck your whole system up intentionally - it will fail sometime later. their hope is forcing you into buying more service.

it's a corrupt county and none of the workers are certified - only the "company owner" or someone they had (on contract call)

fucking sharon bull-o-va gov laid it all out that way - and some have whispered the political families are the same families who are running those "businesses"

get off your ass and do it

the "respectable" firm my family had hired the only thing the did right is the refer lines aen't leaking (yet), and the gas lines do not leak.

EVERY LAST OTHER DETAIL WAS TOTALLY FUCKED UP ON THE NEW UNIT AND NEEDED PROPER RE-INSTALLATION

the fan. the computer box, the AC water run-off (spilled all over the computer). no tape on holes/gaps. gas igniter incorrectly installed broken 2x - hasn't broke since i installed it correctly.

i'm telling you: fairfax is full of fucking hacks

at one time WTOP announced companies hiring illegal workers would be penalized

they at WTOP sing a different tune now: the one fx co gov told them to sing.

at one time WTOP ran articles warning consumers that their "highly skilled workers" weren't actually skilled, that many area businesses were 'delegating authority' and sending totally unskilled workers to do work that required license (that xxxx were using one license for a whole company and calling it 'legal')

FAIFAX HAS BEEN RUN BY CRIMINALS FOR QUITE SOME TIME

I would check out Nugent and Sons. Very honest and competent business. Run by a good family.

AC installation is not an easy task. If you don't have any experience in it, you might end up damaging your AC and having to pay to have it fixed. Or you might install it incorrectly and end up with a broken AC that will cost you more money to fix than it was worth. Therefore, you should hire a professional company with at least 1-2 years of experience installing an AC. Anyway, I decided to contact some experts in the domain of the cooling system to come and help me with the process. The Guys helped me and explained how all it's working.

I like to fart into the the intake and then run to smell it when it exits one of the output vents. It’s good exercise.

This is who you DO NOT call!

Michael & Sons or FH Furr.

Both are great at marketing but suck at doing actual work and will rip you off in a minute by both overcharging and replacing parts you don’t need

More and more entrepreneurs or freelancers today work from home, either of their desire or necessity. Their working space is organized in one of the rooms of their housing, in an office shared with other entrepreneurs, or even in cafes specially set up for this purpose. And I broke the gates outside, and I didn't have time to take them, and I called home on https://everlastgates.com/austin-texas-automatic-gate-repair-installation/ that have solved the problem, and I find it more efficient such kind of service that comes straight home.
