Hands down one of the best (and luckiest) encounters we've had in hiring a company for home improvement/renovations. After purchasing our home 5 years ago that was left vacant for 18 months after being repossessed, we had quite a bit of not only repairs to do ranging from bursting hot tub pipes, landscaping needs for our large yard to remodeling the basement & working our way up. We've had some of the absolute worst luck when it comes to finding decent companies that don't structure their companies to sell, sell, sell or simply have a lack of knowledge & integrity in their trade. Even after using companies from Angie's List (which, do your homework on the lawsuit settlement they've recently encountered for allowing larger companies to pay for higher/better reviews..), we've still been screwed every which way. As a consumer, the good as well as the bad reviews are what helps us navigate in finding decent companies but A & C is a hidden gem. Not only was their quote for a humidifier for our furnace 1/2 the price of any other company (which made me nervous fearing what the "catch" had to be..), but they came out & installed quickly, quietly & by the grace of God, didn't do any damage to our house like every other company we've hired has done. After a few days of noticing condensation on our windows yet the humidistat showing a low % we called them & they sent James out right away to check it out. Not only did he handle my super annoying, neurotic questioning of everything he was doing & asking basically for him to teach me of what & why he was doing something, he made great recommendations. He was able to do a less invasive fix & gave us the option to allow it to run a few days to see if this corrected the issue & if not they'd send someone out right away again. I specifically said I wanted him to come back because I appreciated the honesty & rapport he gave me & to be honest I was a little disappointed when someone new came to the door the SAME day we called reporting the fix wasn't working. After yet again talking the new guys ear off (I'm a woman, what do you want from me.. ) I later found out it was the owner Chris. He noticed our humidistat lost power momentarily a few times while he was trouble shooting & said that COULD happen, but shouldn't & he wasn't pleased with the equipment so he himself said he was ordering a new one & getting rid of the one originally installed. As an owner, the fact that he didn't continue to try & fix something that may or may not be working as it should & without question said we were getting a new one & he'd place the order right away, showed superior integrity in his work. As much as he did not want to push any type of sale on us he did at least give us the basic knowledge of the type of furnace our home had as well as a/c unit & why this was not only affecting our humidistat but also our consumers energy bill as well as comfort level of how the heat & air was (or was not) dispersed through out our home. He let gave us the run down on the "levels" of equipment you could purchase from basic to premium & the benefits for each, specifically for our home & the way it's designed. I was beyond impressed with his knowledge, integrity & companies mantra: efficient, reliable & cost effective. The little prober that I am, I learned he's been in the biz for over 14-15 years & finally took his knowledge & experience & created, in my opinion, one of the best locally owned & operated heating & cooling companies in Metro Detroit. Do yourself & your pocket book a favor & contact them for a quote. And if you have the time for a good laugh contact another company to compare quotes & knowledge. The decision on whom to trust & choose will be crystal clear. read more
