Service is average. There can be long wait times for routine checkup services. Service personnel are courteous and generally knowledgeable. Although I have no reason to not recommend them, I'd shop around to see what other HVAC contractors are like.

CroppMetcalfe has at least one outstanding technician which is why I use them. Sadly, their prices for my occasional repairs are utterly outrageous. There needs to be some way to compare pricing among the various firms.

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
