Consumer Comments for GAC Services

Consumer from Bethesda, MD
Jan 04, 2023

I did not use them but met with GAC to discuss options for an HVAC replacement. They sent a sales rep who wanted me to buy an air conditioning when I only needed a furnace. I told him which brand I wanted at the beginning of the meeting and he waited until the end of the appointment (two hours later) to say they didn't have that brand in stock. He also called later and wasn't straightforward about a sales incentive program they had. At one point in our meeting, he said I was "argumentative." I don't think he was very experienced, so I let the comment go without retort, but I was very unimpressed with their sales department. I wound up hiring a different vendor that I found more straightforward and responsive to my needs.

Consumer from Washington Grove, MD

The maintenance technician sent an exorbitant quote to repair a part that wasn’t installed correctly by their installation team. I can’t recommend GAC now, especially since upper management decided to eliminate Quality Control to favor sales instead.

Front office does not promptly respond to service calls even from preferred members and over 20-year customers.

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

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.
