Consumer Comments for Robert E Clubb & Associates

Consumer from Chevy Chase, MD

We had been using a large regional provider to perform our HVAC service for the past few years. The work was satisfactory, as far as I could tell, but the technicians were always finding little things we were advised to do with each service call to bolster the annual service fee we were paying. We decided to see if we could find another provider and checked the listings here. Our issue is that for heating we have a gas-fueled boiler with radiators, and a number of the highly rated firms here do not service that type of equipment. We landed on Robert Clubb and were very satisfied. The appointment was made promptly and was scheduled reasonably quickly. The technician was excellent, very knowledgeable. He made a couple of helpful suggestions. We will continue using Robert Clubb. One note: the firm does not do annual service contracts, but the fee to service our heating system was very reasonable. For routine service calls, one visit to prep our heating system and a second to prep our A/C system will come to just over half of our annual service contract with our former provider. Of course, if something goes wrong with either system, a repair would have been covered by the annual service contract. We will have to see if we made a good bet, but for now we are very satisfied with Robert Clubb.

Robert Clubb & Asscs installed a new gas furnace and A/C system in my house during the fall of 2021. I was very pleased with the work and there has been no subsequent problem that necessitated their return. Robert, who has over 40 years of experience in this field, afforded me very expert advice about options for the new systems. Because of inept installation, in the 1970's, of my house's ducting system Robert realized that I would need a more powerful motor than would otherwise be the case. The system works much better as a result of his professional acumen. The cost of the system Robert installed was considerably less than the other two quotes I received, partly attributable to Robert's selection of the HVAC equipment reflecting the actual needs of my home. Robert and his colleagues were a pleasure to deal with and Robert was very responsive to my calls and messages. I could not be happier with the service that they provided and recommend them highly as a result.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs to heating or air-conditioning equipment, 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.

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.
