Consumer Comments for Besco Air

I have been searching for a good Heating repair company since the company I previously used was sold about 5 years ago. I went with a company that bought out my previous company for about 4 years, but their pricing schemes never made sense and were extremely high for simple parts. Additionally, only one tech was able to do satisfactory work. I tried Besco this year due to reviews I read on various sites and was not disappointed. Abel, the technician, was very professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He replaced a faulty thermostat, did an inspection of the boiler, and purged the air out the system so well that I cannot tell when it is on. Two previous companies sent someone who said they did all they could do, but there was still a lot of air remaining, and noise in the pipes. Abel stayed with the task until all the air was purged, and it only took about 45 minutes. The charges, along with the discount they offered with taking the annual plan, was very reasonable.

Annual service after Besco had bought my long-time provider. Technician recommended replacement of water heater and replacement of has pipe leading to furnace. Job estimator was the guy I'd used for 30+ years; he said the water heater was probably okay for a few more years ... and could find no gas leak near the furnace.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating and air-conditioning systems work when needed, they must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

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.
