Air conditioner repair recs ... compilation from HD List (August 2008)

I have a friend who does air conditioning. He lives off Jollyville in
NW Austin. He installed my system 8 years ago. It's still fine.

His name is Rick at 258-4748. You can check out his website at
www.ricksair.com.

I've been using them [A+ Energy] for the past 10 years -- I do a
maintenance agreement every year (it's about $120 this year) and for
that I get 2 visits per year and any parts, etc. for repair are
covered. One year they put $300 of freon into my (old) system and
didn't charge me for it. They're smart, reasonable, arrive on time
and do what they're supposed to.

One year my ducting tore (from a duct cleaner, not A+), and A+ Energy
worked with me and the City of Austin to replace ducting, put in more
insulation, etc. and get the City's rebate. They did a great job on that too.

  I highly recommend Covenant Heating and Cooling. They have done
several systems for us and are very knowedgable and reliable. They
have also been recommended by several HERS on the list.

I used T & P appliance in Manchaca, even though I live in North
Austin, and I thought they were great:

I second the recommendation for T&P Appliance.

We've had excellent service/maintenance from Strand Brothers. And
yes, Mom in the TV ads still goes into the office regularly - she's in her 80s.

I used Austin Aire, Heat and Appliance. They were chosen for me by
the, oh, what is it called - you pay a few hundred dollars and
supposedly save money on repair (home warranty, or something - the
name is escaping me). I say that last as I do not know their BBB
reputation. However, considering the positive BBB report on the
movers I used, apparently a good BBB reputation means little these
days, anyway; I'll be writing of my experiences with them and also
filing reports with the BBB as soon as I handle more things here.
Anyway, the seller of this house threw it in - I didn't pay for it.
But, Moe comes out and I'm happy with him. He is nice, polite,
professional and seems to be quite thorough and knowledgeable and experienced.

301-0389 I will always ask for Moe, and would be willing to wait a
few days if he was not available - that's how much faith I have in him.

++++++

I highly recommend Austin Air Control. They came out on a Saturday
evening and quickly diagnosed the problem. They charge $75 for the
inital visit, no matter if it's after hours or on weekends. The first
motor they installed the following Monday was bad from the factory so
they worked diligently until 9:30 that night to find a replacement
part and help us keep cool. This company is professional,
communicative and truly care about their clients. An increasingly
rare commodity!
