Reading the other review on this site had me scared to call Acker Heating and Colling. However, after an engineer friend of mine had his system replaced by Acker Heating & Cooling he couldn't say enough good things about them. I requested quotes from 2 reputable companies, (both by personal references) to replace my upstairs, (guest suite) heat pump. The other company sent out a tech, who read the numbers off my existing units and quoted a cost to replace exactly what I had. The owner, of Acker H&C came out and evaluated my entire system, asking questions of past performance of the system, etc. He sized service lines, duct work size and runs before quoting a replacement system. The following day after researching options he proposed a new system that would overcome the extensive amount of existing duct work that was limiting adequate air flow. The replacement system would be slightly larger in air tonnage and also compressor size. The work was scheduled for 2 weeks out, however we were expecting guests that weekend. Acker H&C came out before my guests arrived and got the system temporally cooling at no cost to me. The final installation was done within the day on the date promised. The service techs were all extremely polite, professional and covered every square inch of work area with drop cloths before beginning. After allowing several days to be sure everything was working as expected, the owner came out to inspect the work of his crew. It was not until this time that I made payment of any kind. As it ended up, my final invoice was less than expected and the quality of the work was impeccable. read more

Complete con artists!! I called them in to replace the motor on my heat pump. They were supposed to show up on Friday But didn't come til Saturday. The service guy Justin was there for about 3 hours. He was clearly aggravated. After he replaced the motor there was still no heat flowing thru the vents. He went under the house & when he came out he told me that the duct work was detached & he had fixed it. Charged me $550. Thirty minutes after he left there was still no heat flowing so my boyfriend went under the house not only was the duct work completely detached but it was lying on the ground. Spent another $110 at Lowes for new duct & fixed it ourselves. Later I removed the cover to the heat pump & found bared wires twisted together with no end caps & 2 breakers turned off. I've had my thermostat set at 76 for 8 days and the temperature has not risen above 65. Barely any heat at all. They charge a 400% mark up on the motor. I found the same one online for $95. When I called them I spoke to the owner. He refused to even come by & look at the issues even though they advertise a labor warranty. He the accused me of detaching the duct myself. He then told me that I had already paid & it was a done deal & basically told me to go f*** myself. Luckily my cell phone records. Today I began criminal procedings for verbal battery against the owner & legal procedings for fraud against the company. read more
