So in the summer, instead of sucking in air from the inside of the house, it would be be sucking in 100F air from outside, making the AC inefficient. He took the time to drive to the store to get sealant to fix the leaks inside the intake box, and spent an hour applying the sealant himself. Did not ask for any extra money, did not complain, had a great attitude, and really wanted to make sure that he gave 150% effort to the customer. Then he re-tested the system and the system passed this time showing barely any leakage. Gave us the report and the paperwork needed for the building inspector. If you do your own HVAC upgrade without a city permit, you think you save money by not having to spend money on HERS testing. Nothing could be farther from the truth. When it comes to spending money, I'm cheap. I didn't realize that Jason's job is to make sure that the extra money you spend on upgrading your ducts/AC equipment to more efficient equipment is not in vain due to leaks in your ducts A+++ experience with using this company for HERS testing, and will recommend to others to use this company.

He came with the proper equipment to take accurate measurements, and generated a comprehensive report. He was very efficient. Furthermore, Jason had the HERS report sent to the City of Lake Forest electronically, so the city inspection went very smoothly. Great value for the services they provide, not only for the testing, but also for the reporting to the city inspectors. I highly recommend Jason and Reliance Energy Services. Thank you, Jason.

I completely lost trust with this company. I had an…read moreappointment for heater maintenance not too long ago. The technician stated everything was running okay except for the blower wheel. He said that it is completely dirty and needed immediate attention to be cleaned or else my system will not run correctly. I was given a quote and he asked if I wanted it done the same day. He did not show any pictures or anything to support his reasoning. I declined the service because I got a new system less than a year ago. I got a second opinion from a different company. The technician took out the blower wheel, took it out and showed it to me. It was not dirty just a few specks of dust. That was all! It was not in a condition where it was dirty and required immediate attention as stated from the tech from this company. This is very upsetting because the fact that the technician lied and just wanted to take advantage of making money. Do your research and hire a reliable and honest business!

However, when a warranty issue came up (a faulty temperature sensor at the condenser) in early July, communication has slowed down significantly. Frank last replied in early September, mentioning limited inventory at AC Pro and that he'd check on parts availability. Since then, I haven't heard back despite a few polite follow-ups. I still hope this can be resolved soon and that the delay is truly due to manufacturer part shortages rather than lack of follow-through. If the repair is completed, I'll be happy to update this review to reflect that.

My 86-year-old mother lives alone and recently told me that her house has been freezing for months. Because I do not live close by, I sent an HVAC serviceman out (from another company) to look at her system. After seeing pictures of the attic and HVAC components, it was clear that she needed an entirely new system, including air ducts (which had decayed through the years) and she needed additional blown-in insulation to reach an R30 factor. Using Yelp and other Google searches, I identified four HVAC contractors in her area. Two of the four estimators were arrogant and had trouble answering my questions over the phone. They spent most of their time telling me how good their companies were and how bad the competition was (even though I did not give them their names). The other two contractors, one of which was OakRidge Energy, seemed very experienced. Both were very kind to my mother and were very professional with me over the phone. The two arrogant guys provided ridiculously high quotes. The third was quite a bit less. OakRidge provided the best price and threw in a free "before and after duct pressure test." My mother was so happy that I had chosen OakRidge Energy because she "really liked the guy that came out to estimate the job." We signed the contract on a Wednesday, the team arrived on that Friday, and they had the entire job completed by 3:00 pm that Saturday, just three days after signing the contact. The office team, Rebecca and Hannah, were excellent as well. They were always available, pleasant to work with, knowledgeable, and very responsive. And the owner, Chris, responded to each of my technical questions, via email, in minutes. Although I did not meet the installers, my mother, sister, and brother-in-law did. They were all very impressed with how Armando, Carlos, and Cesar went about their business. They were very pleasant, were very clean and organized, knew exactly what they were doing, and seldom took a break. I asked my sister to look over the review that I had written. Here is her response unedited.... "Randy that was PERFECT! They were amazing & so professional. We all felt so comfortable with them that Mom went away for the day and Phil & I sat downstairs. Never once did we feel we needed to stand over or watch them, it was weird how much trust we had in them they just came across as hard working, honest guys and they truly were. We really got lucky with them and trust me Mom is warm up there." I strongly recommend that you ask OakRidge Energy to provide an estimate for a home energy survey or an HVAC system upgrade, if needed.

Robert Bachus, the owner of AHP Testing made time immediately to help us out. We were up against a deadline to open the restaurant, and unfortunately failed our first air balancing test. Robert did not just deliver the bad news and move to his next appointment. Instead he helped us troubleshoot the cause of failure and coordinated closely with the HVAC contractor we were using. Robert led the way to specify and share with the team the exact amperage and CFM levels needed to pass the test. After we hustled to source the items Robert advised us on, he put us back on his already busy testing calendar for the following day. As murphy's law would have it; Robert shows up with all his gear, we turn the exhaust system on and it still was not working properly. Rob made his way to the roof to troubleshoot and even made some adjustments to the fan belt - going way above and beyond! Not 40-minutes later we passed our air balance test! Throughout the process Robert was steadfast, calm, resourceful, collegial, and above all humble when we praised him for all the help he gave to us. AHP Testing receives our full endorsement for quality work and savvy troubleshooting skills. We won't ever use another Testing service other than AHP Testing. We appreciate you, Robert Bachus!
