Consumer Comments for GAC Services

Consumer from SILVER SPRING, MD

They seem more intent on selling their maintenance contract and add-on products. I got the hard sales pitch even before the tech diagnosed the problem. Ended up approving an unnecessary add on due to the urgency of my schedule. Once the technician did diagnose the problem, he did not have the required equipment on the truck to fix the problem. Ended up sending him back and getting stuck with the service call fee. To get the problem addressed had to pay for an emergency service call to plumber, which took a total of 10 minutes.

It seemed to me that the charge for the repair $3000 far exceeded the cost of the part ($300) and labor (less than 1 hour). My fault for not getting other estimates due to having a service contract with the company for many years.

GAC is consistently excellent. Wish all service providers were as good.

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.
