HVAC reviews in Linden, New Jersey

I hired this local franchise for their services, hoping for convenience and reliability. Unfortunately, the job was done in a rush and didn't last long - I had to replace air filters multiple times within a week due to excessive dust buildup. The whole experience left a bad taste; they ignored my attempts at contact and now I'm disputing the charges.

The technician who visited me spoke quickly and aggressively, trying to sell me unnecessary services. He ended up clogging all the filters in my home with junk, including dust and grit in every room. He used informal language, addressing my boyfriend as "boss man" and claiming that "cash is king." What's most concerning is that the name on the receipt didn't match the business he claimed to be during our previous Facebook conversation. I found him through a local Christian group, which was ironic given the time of year, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt initially. However, my intuition was correct: the multiple rescheduled appointments should have raised red flags.

Don't bother with these con artists. The initial assessment was that my furnace had mold, which would add to the bill. There were two workers in the basement and one upstairs, causing a ruckus. However, after just 30 minutes, they showed up for payment - an odd move since not a single vent was touched. Once I paid, they left without finishing the job, leaving a mess behind. To top it off, they pocketed an unauthorized tip.

We had a disastrous experience with this company. They quoted an initial price of $209 but ended up costing us over twice that amount. The quality of the work was subpar, with the technician causing damage to our electrostatic filters and new rug. Our basement was left in disarray, and ceiling tiles were still hanging from the ceiling.

Two experienced techs got it right - thorough duct cleaning and AC maintenance done efficiently and effectively. Satisfied with the work, especially at a fair price.

The technician's focus seemed to be on making additional sales rather than completing the scheduled duct cleaning. He missed several vents during the process and left behind a noticeable mess where he did clean. The request for payment was made without providing a receipt, and there was no response when I asked for one. When the system was turned back on, it smelled of burning dust - an unusual condition for a freshly cleaned system.

I initially thought this company was local, based on their ad on our town's Facebook page, but they're not. Getting a service appointment was a hassle. When I discovered the scope of services, I was disappointed to learn that cleaning the dryer vent wasn't included unless I upgraded for $100, and even then, it wasn't part of the furnace maintenance, which is where most debris accumulates. The technician didn't mention this until after the job was done. That extra cost was another $200 for a service that took only 5 minutes to complete. To make matters worse, they tried to upsell me on duct cleaning as a "special offer" if I did it on the same day. Unprofessional and misleading from start to finish.

Avoid using this company altogether, they're a total scam. The customer service is abysmal and completely untrustworthy. When I requested a receipt for services, the representative responded with an email stating he'd need to involve his supervisor – but that was just an excuse. Things were missing from my home, the house was left in disarray, and the basement floor was filthy. The furnace hadn't been inspected, and no paperwork was provided. My bank eventually refunded my money after I reported them as a scam. The company's claims to clean my vents were nothing more than a mess. Their shady practices make me never want to use their services again, especially when they try to pass off the blame to an unaccountable call center – it's just not right.

I had a mixed experience with this company's duct cleaning service. The technicians who showed up were polite and professional, which is more than I can say for the billing process.

I found this business through a local Facebook group and was quoted $249 for what seemed like a comprehensive package deal - cleaning of all supply vents, using advanced negative air machinery, and an annual maintenance service that would also inspect my AC, furnace, and dryer. However, when they got to work, I discovered that the grates weren't even removed from the vents, which had been painted over by the previous owner. Despite telling the initial contact person about this plan, the technicians assured me it wasn't necessary for cleaning.

After the initial vacuuming, the technician claimed the HVAC needed inspecting and cleaning as well - something I assumed was included in the original quote. But get this: it ended up costing an additional $200+ dollars, with a return visit option priced at $399. This meant I ended up paying a whopping $500 total, including a $38 tip.

The aftermath saw me left with a layer of dust covering my main living areas - which I subsequently had to clean myself. The only redeeming quality of the experience was the kindness and professionalism displayed by the technicians, but that wasn't enough to make up for the billing shenanigans.

It's possible this is standard practice in the area, but I still found it jarring to be charged double my initial quote without any clear explanation.

I strongly advise against using this service. They failed to address all necessary vents, neglected to disinfect, and did a cursory inspection of my dryer vent and furnace. The equipment they brought in was cumbersome, generating excessive noise without collecting any debris. To make matters worse, they tried to push additional services on me and attempted to get paid cash upfront - which I'm now disputing. Given the lack of quality work and shady business practices, it's best to avoid them altogether.

Be cautious with this company, it's a scam! They operate under multiple names and often post in online groups. Jobs typically take 2-3 hours but were done in under an hour. They claimed their last job was taking longer than expected but were actually two hours late. The initial quote was $250, but the final bill was significantly higher. To leave your house looking tidy, pay extra for a reputable local company that specializes in vent cleaning. Don't fall victim to these scammers; do your research and avoid them.

Don't fall for their scam! They'll give you a quote that sounds like "unlimited" air duct cleaning, but they'll keep piling on extra charges. The guy I talked to over Facebook is clearly not who he says he is - the company's based in New Jersey, and he just made up some lame excuse about moving to the area. When two guys showed up, they claimed to work for him, but couldn't even provide proof of his identity. They were in and out in less than an hour, leaving me with a $600 bill that was supposed to be $220. And to top it off, they wouldn't accept my check, forced me to pay by card, and slapped on some ridiculous tax. Total rip-off!

I hired a local company claiming to be hiring locally to support their family. They quoted me a price, but on the day of the job, two different guys showed up - not the person who initially contacted us. The final bill was nearly triple what we were told, plus state tax - which is unusual since there's no sales tax on services like this. When I tried to dispute the charges via my credit card, I found an invoice with my signature saying I accepted them, but it turned out they'd forged the document and my signature. Avoid this company at all costs.

I wasted my time and money on this unprofessional operation. A local individual, claiming to be a small business owner, posted in a community group about offering cheap services. Since I prefer supporting local businesses, I agreed to let him clean my dryer vents.

The whole experience was a joke. The service lasted a total of 8 minutes, but all he did was blow air into the vent. They created a huge mess that took me an hour to clean up. Nothing was actually done to improve my dryer's performance. When I tried to pay with a check, they wouldn't accept it and probably wouldn't have even cashed it anyway - to avoid being responsible for any potential issues.

I ended up paying by card, but after inspecting everything, it became clear that nothing had been accomplished. My dryer was still clogged and dirty, requiring further cleaning with specialized products. I immediately disputed the charge with my credit card company, providing all the details and evidence from my own photos. Save your time and money - don't use them.

They truly exceeded our expectations. For two consecutive winters, we faced heat issues, but they arrived on time, completing the job ahead of schedule both years. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is genuinely impressive in today's market. We're extremely grateful and will undoubtedly recommend them to others.
