Consumer Comments for Dillingham & Ed Flow Heating & Air Conditioning

The air conditioner in the early morning began blowing air too warm to cool the house to 75°F, on a day that the temperature soared into the upper 90s. My wife and I are elderly. We lost air conditioning during a heat wave in July last year, waited three days for a service appointment, and desperately wanted to avoid this misery again. The first company I called had an opening in two days. Hoping for an earlier date, I found Dillingham HVAC only a few miles away from our house, called, and left a detailed voice message describing how an 80-year-old couple suffered last year during a heat wave without AC and asking for help as soon as possible. Justin Dillingham the owner soon called back and gave us an afternoon time window that same day. Although a heavy rain caused cancellation, Justin, who lived nearby, came after dinner and diagnosed the problem, a bad capacitor and a damaged hot wire. He had a busy schedule the next day, however, he called several times with updates and arrived late afternoon to make the repair. I highly recommend Dillingham HVAC and highly commend Justin for exemplary customer service, compassion, and, in general, being an exceptionally good person–a real mensch.

I had this group come and service my furnace. The owner came, and that went fine, so I asked him for an estimate on a humidifier. They were the lowest bid so I hired them. The technician who installed the humidifier showed me how to turn off two buttons for the summer and then he left. A couple hours later, I noticed that the furnace was running nonstop and the house was getting quite hot. I texted the owner in a panic and he told me how to turn off the furnace. He said he was busy but would come over the next day to fix it; he didn’t. Nor did he come the day after that. On the third day, he sent over the technician who had installed the humidifier. The man was angry and barked at me that all I had to do was turn off the thermostat. I had done that, but I didn’t want to argue with him. When it came time to turn off the humidifier, I found the owner’s manual online and saw that you’re supposed to turn off the two buttons like the guy said, but you’re also supposed to take the thing apart and clean it or else you’re going to get mold. I am going to use a different company this time and hope that the technician is smart enough to turn off. the humidifier properly.

We have been using the family owned Dillingham company for all our heating and cooling issues for many years. They are extremely reliable and conscientious. I highly recommend.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating and air-conditioning systems work when needed, they must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

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.

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.
