Consumer Comments for Ballard Natural Gas Service

Initial installation three years ago: had to have them back multiple times, didn't do it right, left a mess. (They later said they fired one of the installers.) Since, their guys have been nice and seemed attentive. But every time there's always been something. This time, our system went out in the evening; to their credit, they have someone answering the phones in the evening; but we have a service agreement thats supposed to give us 24-hour response and he wanted to schedule us a few days out; when I insisted he said we could call the office in the morning (which I was trying to avoid due to my own work); when I did they did schedule me that day. With amenable guys; turned out to be (very expensive) fuses; which they didn't have on their truck so maybe would have to wait a day, but then they got another truck to swing by end-of-day. Seems like fuses if not on every truck would be on the truck sent to solve a problem that fuses would be a likely possible cause of. It's always been something.

Ballard installed new furnace and all went well. Service experience was expensive, and customer service was poor.

Consumer from Seattle, WA

Even though I was a long-term client, their quote for installing a new furnace was twice as high as two other bidders. To add insult to injury, the quoted furnace was a cheaper unit that had a substantially lower wholesale cost to them than the other bidders. Finally, the last straw to convince me to find another installer was that their warranty covered a substantially shorter period than the other two.

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, 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.
