Consumer Comments for Dillingham Ed Flow Heating & Air Conditioning

Consumer from BURKE, VA

My air conditioner chose to break down during 4 days of 100 degree weather (of course). Dillingham managed to squeeze me into their schedule the very next day, despite being extremely busy, and were very understanding about what it's like to be in an oven of a house. The HVAC guys communicated with me about their arrival several times and arrived on time. They asked a couple of questions on the way to my house and diagnosed the likely problem by phone (which proved to be correct). They did excellent and quick work, seemed very knowledgeable, explained the situation, and waited to make sure everything was working properly before they left. The cost seemed fair. I like that Dillingham is a family owned business. I was extremely pleased and highly recommend them.

Longtime client of Dillingham's who's been pleased with service for decades. Had good experience with them replacing water heater and servicing & replacing gas forced air heat & cool pump, and servicing central air compressor. Prices seem fair. Only caveat -- make sure you let them know if you live in an old house. My house is about 100 years old and has some 'make-shift' connections in our heating and air systems as a result of age & patchwork repairs. At least once, a young technician who was sent out spent more time on the phone asking advice than he spent working on the repair. While I definitely appreciate his NOT doing anything he wasn't comfortable with without checking with his older more experienced colleagues, it felt like paying by the hour was a bad way to go in a situation like that. Regardless, I do recommend them.

Did a good job installing a new gas furnace for a reasonable cost. I'm glad I found out about this company on "Checkbook."

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.

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.
