Consumer Comments for Dick's Air Conditioning & Heating

Repairman broke an outdoor box and informed me that it was okay. Personnel have been lackadaisical and difficult to deal with. Another company replaced the box and charged only $3 more than I was charged by Dick's for the replacement of a fuse in the box. I have dropped them and now use another HVAC company.

I’ve been a Dick’s customer for many years; they came highly recommended after purchasing my home in PG County. As a small company, I’ve expected higher quality customer service from them, which has been most disappointing. Being located in minimally visible service area per bigger HVAC providers, I still struggle with feeling like Dick’s lacks in proper customer service and training — from their management to technicians.

Pricey! Charge for dispatch is now $120. Consider charge for work performed excessive but can't compare with any other. Additional charge at completion of work assumed added in for part that can be bought for less than 1/2 price charged.

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.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

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.
