Consumer Comments for Bonfe's Plumbing & Heating

Consumer from Saint Paul, MN

Bonfe is a good company, but they are too expensive for the quality received. I use their service plan; however, even with discounts, the cost to service or to replace items is much higher than one might expect. The office staff are pleasant, but I have gotten different responses regarding overall fees, wait times, and general scheduling. My biggest reason to not recommend Bonfe as a 'go-to' is because they no longer schedule by time block. You can request that they come after 12 or in the morning, but they make it clear that they will call when a technician is available. As a result, I just prepare to stay close to home until the service is done for the day.

Bonfe overcharges by a ridiculous amount. I got an AC replaced and am embarrassed to say that I paid $6000 for it. I could have saved well over $2000 by using a different company. I wouldn't recommend this company unless you have extra cash to throw away.

One service call identified the problem and gave us options, one of which turned out to be finding a part online and installing it ourselves. No pressure to buy a new unit even though ours was past its expected life.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, 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.
