I was promptly given a quote for a necessary new cooling system . I was then informed I could be scheduled in for first thing Monday morning. I agreed. Friday morning, I was contacted by Todd, stating that he had an unexpected schedule change, and he could do my install that day. my response was yes. His workers were dispatched to my residence , and in just a few hours , I received a call from his workers, asking if they could close up all my windows , and get cooling system working on cooling my home.

I called Mack, the owner, at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning when my heater wasn't working. He came at 9:30, diagnosed the problem, drove back to his shop, picked up some used parts, and returned to fix my heater using mostly used parts and just one new part. My heater is 20 years old and I don't have it in the budget to buy a new one right now. He regretted that he had to use a new part, but he didn't have a used one back at his shop. Not once did he try to upsell me a new heater, even though I should probably have one. I asked him about a new unit and his price quote was really, really fair. My bill for his service was surprisingly affordable and had no extra charge for a Sunday call. Yup. No extra Sunday fee. :) Call Mack Weaver at Seasonal Survival when you have heating or air conditioning issues. He's honest, prompt, professional, and has fair prices. He's not going to hustle you or make you feel like you have to buy a whole new unit. Superior service. Highly recommend.

I was really excited to have Mack out to quote a replacement furnace/AC, based on everyone's…read morecomments on Reddit, Nextdoor, and elsewhere. I really wanted someone local, independent, and that I could call and they'd answer -- and be honest. But... I was incredibly underwhelmed. I was after a full replacement system, with a slight preference toward replacing the AC unit with a heat pump. I also wanted a two-stage system due to slight temperature imbalances in the house. He very quickly dismissed heat pumps, saying that they're "worthless" in Wisconsin, and he also didn't entertain the idea of a two-stage system. I asked about going from a 1-inch filter to 4-inch, and he said, "No, I wouldn't do that. The thicker filters restrict airflow too much; I would just get a higher quality filter." This is just blatantly incorrect and the exact opposite is true. 1-inch filters with higher MERV ratings are what restrict airflow. I also had a 45,000 BTU furnace, which had had no problem heating our home (and it was 20 years old! -- both the unit and house), but he very quickly said, "Oh, that's too small. You should get an 80,000," without taking any sort of measurements, asking any questions, or looking at the rest of the house. You can't do a load calculation based on...nothing? And you can't just nearly double furnace capacity without causing issues (mainly, that it's going to short cycle from being oversized). And, as mentioned earlier, it wasn't going to be a two-stage furnace, so it would have run at that full 80,000... Maybe he's good at repairs (I don't know), and maybe he's well priced (he came in second cheapest out of the four bids I got), but these were all just fairly big red flags for me that he wasn't a match for me for doing a new install. I got a two-stage heat pump and two-stage furnace setup from elsewhere and so far am very happy!

I have nothing but good to say about Carew Heating and Air Conditioning, and as a Realtor that has…read morerecommended them to a fair number of clients now, I'm really happy to be able to point the people I'm working with their direction for service, which happens a lot in my world. I'd count them in my top half dozen businesses that I'll offer to my clients for work. There are numerous other HVAC places I've hired in the past on behalf of clients. A couple have even been quite good, but none have risen to their level of 1) expertise, 2) ease of working with, politeness, 3) promptness, timely completion, and 4) value. I could give several, but one recent example: I was trying to get a home warranty repair on a nearly new heat pump/AC unit, that evidently had been improperly installed. This was just not getting done...the places dispatched just simply couldn't fix it, despite all seemingly good effort and multiple visits. I called Mark, and it just flat gets done. Just like that. Happy client, happy Realtor, happy happy joy joy. They're located in Watertown, WI (Jefferson County), which is just a little west of Oconomowoc, though they'll travel a decent distance. I've had them work as far north for me as Hustisford and as far south as Eagle. As always, please note, I get exactly nothing from anybody I recommend, but the knowing that I can do it with confidence is worth plenty to me and my work.

Expensive service call yielded zero results. We have two CO detectors in our house, one upstairs,…read moreone in the basement. Both went off within seconds of each other just after I turned up the furnace in the morning. Bethke sends a tech out, I need to wait there and miss work, so that's not helping. Guy gets there, immediately makes up his mind that my detectors are faulty because they are old. Does a simple check for CO at the heat exchanger exhaust and the outlet into the ducts and comes up with a low CO reading. 20 mintues later, I'm $240 lighter with no real answer as to what happened. I checked my CO detectors later and they were working. So... I paid $240 for a half-assed, incomplete diagnostic by a monkey with a 5-gas analyzer. If I did that as an auto mechanic, I would be through. Do yourself a favor and call another company.

We called a couple of places around and they told us we were out of luck for a few days, but Bethke's dispatch team was really accommodating and had a tech, Mike, at our house within less than two hours. Mike was extremely knowledgeable about the issue at hand and was able to fix it quickly. He also explained to me everything that he did, and I feel confident that I could do it myself now if it came down to it. He also gave me some helpful reminders about maintenance. I thought we were going to pay an arm and a leg, but the bill was the best part. Incredibly reasonable prices for lightning fast and thorough service. I would call these guys again in a heartbeat, and I think you should too.
