Consumer Comments for Hecox Home Services

Consumer from Washington, DC

Our AC went out on the first very hot day of the year. We called on Saturday morning at 8:30am and Martin was here by 2:30pm to inspect the system and replace a faulty capacitor. We thought we were going to roast through the weekend - instead it was fixed and we were cooled. Martin was impressively responsive, professional, efficient and pleasant. We found Hecox through Consumer Checkbook and are very glad that we did.

Martin and the Hecox team upgraded our 20+ year old AC/furnace to a dual fuel heat pump, and added zoning to our house. I felt very well informed as to the options. I especially liked how they presented us with three or four options with prices and the pros & cons of each. It let me decide the right balance between price and performance for our needs. The crew was efficient and very pleasant. The work was among the neatest I've ever seen. Everything was meticulously cleaned up and tidy. I would absolutely recommend them.

I contacted HECOX from the CC ratings. They came to perform a fall check on my furnace and found that it needed (1) new vents from the hot water heater and (2) a replacement for the whole house humidifier kit. They came back to fix the deficiencies and everything is working properly.

How to Choose New HVAC Equipment

If you need new heating and air-conditioning equipment, you want the best price on the highest-quality replacement. If you want to add central air conditioning or extend a system, it is even more important to make the right decisions.

Getting a Good Contract for an HVAC Installation Job

Once you’ve decided on the new heating or cooling system you want to buy, collect bids from high-quality contractors. Each contractor’s proposal should include several elements, all of them important in your choice on the best outfit for your job.

How Your Thermostat Settings Affect Energy Costs

The best way to cut home energy costs is the most obvious one: Dial down your thermostat, and get and use a programmable thermostat.

Maintaining HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for both heating and cooling 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.
