They cleaned it out and it worked for a year. Then it failed entirely and they gave me prompt emergency help despite it being the weekend. I had them replace it with a new heat pump version. Nestor gave me great knowledgeable advice about the options and how to navigate the 2025 change in the refrigerant regulations. Very competent and very competitive rates!

I initially thought about taking off a star because John arrived outside of my appointment window,…read morea pet peeve of mine, but then I remembered a few things: he came on a Sunday, on less than a day's notice, Arlington is very far from Upper Marlboro, the appointment before me went over, which can happen to anyone, and most importantly, small businesses are the backbone of America. John was very polite and immediately told me my HVAC closet smelled because a mouse died in there. He also called a relative while at my place and on the way home to give me their suggestions on dealing with the smell, which has nothing to do with HVAC and is above and beyond in my opinion. Yes, I did have to pay the $100 fee to come out. I paid in cash to not have to pay the 10% processing fee. I was fine with paying this to have someone come out so quickly, and on a Sunday.

They discussed various details of the project as they were working on them to make sure I was happy with the work. The team went above and beyond by removing an unsightly electrical conduit that was no longer being used but was still attached to my house in the same area where they were installing the AC system. Having them take care of that was an unexpected bonus. The only thing that could have been better - when the team arrived to do the install they had a plan showing where the various components were to be installed. I would have preferred to see that plan before the team arrived to do the work.

I have been a customer of Grove for almost ten years. I have had the maintenance package as well as…read morepurchased my new water heater from them. There have never been any issues, so there was no doubt in my mind that when my HVAC unit died, I would go to them to get a new one. It started well with the sales team, and the installation team showed up right on time. Then everything started going south. I only have a tiny condo, 1200 square feet, so they gave me a time frame of 4-8 hours. At hour 10, they finally gave in and left the job 98% done. The head technician was visibly and very vocally annoyed the entire day. As they were finishing up, the other technician broke off the tube to my humidifier, and the head technician's frustration took over. They informed me that they had contacted the office, and Grove would be reaching out to arrange for someone to come and ensure the humidifier was fixed and a new tube was installed. This was on Monday; by Friday, I had not heard from Grove, so I called to inquire. While I was on the phone with them, I received a text stating they needed to schedule someone to come out and finish the job (in so many words). It was odd that I was on the phone for this issue when, all of a sudden, I got a text to schedule, but I just brushed it off as a coincidence. They gave me a time frame for the following Monday from 12-4 pm. It was my ignorance that I thought, "Hey, they didn't finish the job. I am sure they will put me close to the front of the line since it was their issue not finishing the initial job." Well, I was wrong. The technician arrived at 3:45 and assessed the necessary work, only to realize he didn't have PVC glue and would have to return to the shop to pick some up. This added another 30-40 minutes waiting around for him to come back with glue to finish the job. Now, Grove called me to schedule a pre-inspection before the county came out for the final inspection. This was when it became apparent that this company had no respect for its customer's time. They scheduled the next appointment from 12-4 pm. At 3:35, I received a test from the technician stating they would be here in 50-60 minutes, which is approximately an hour late. I had plans and rescheduled. I was not pleased to have 4 hours of my time wasted, but things happened. I got rescheduled and had to take the day off of work for the appointment. Once again, a 12-4 pm appointment. Once again, around 3:30, the office texted me that the technician was running late and that they would let me know once they had an exact time frame. I called to get clarity on the issue and realized I am now at their mercy. The office called back less than five minutes later to inform me that the pre-inspection was completed on the same day my humidifier was fixed. Overall, I had to miss work and waited over 8 hours for nothing. I would never recommend this company to anyone. There are apparent issues with the managerial staff who runs appointments and customer service. The lack of communication amongst themselves and the lack of basic customer service was extremely disappointing. With the numerous companies available, I look forward to taking my business elsewhere.

I had Bethany Air put in a new SMART thermostat in end November 2024. They were here 2-3 hours…read moretrying to get it to connect. They left with the SMART thermostat functioning but disconnected from the WiFi. I was finally able to connect it a couple days later to the WiFi. A few months later (April) I called the thermostat manufacturer due to an issue with my 4 year old furnace and the thermostat. I asked why it kept running my emergency heat more than my regular heat and my house was cold. They ran through troubleshooting with me and figured out that the thermostat was not wired correctly. The thermostat manufacturer stated the incorrect wiring caused the issue with the emergency heat running frequently. They suggested calling a HVAC repair to address the cold house. I called Bethany Air. The technician (1) came. He told me that I needed a transformer after spending a good 50 minutes in my attic and then assessing the heat pump. I asked about a surge protector and he also thought this a good idea. Both items were ordered. Other information was provided that possibly we had a power surge that caused the transformer to stop working in the furnace. I was also told the furnace would not run. The technician was here a long time. A different technician (2) came to put in the two parts a few days later. He went in the attic and came down about 5 minutes later and asked if we had turned on the heat. I stated no, it doesn't work, and I had not messed with the thermostat. I did note it was on though as the previous technician gave no recommendation to turn it off. He stated that a couple other parts had "burnt" and we "were lucky that the house didn't burn down". We discussed briefly the findings. I informed him that we were told the furnace wouldn't work. The previous technician (1) did not give any instruction to turn off the thermostat, to turn the breaker off to the furnace or heat pump, nor did he take any precautions to avoid this further damage (burnt parts) from happening. I called Bethany Air when he left. The receptionist took the information than stated the manager/owner would call me back soon. No callback was received from the manager/owner. Instead the technician (2) who had left called me and tried to change his initial assessment and downplay his findings significantly. The parts came in and a different technician (3) came. He made the repairs. He told my husband that all charges for all 3 calls would be in his invoice. I paid the invoice. Since then I have received an invoice a couple times after I paid the "all charges" invoice. We have reached out to the company 3 different days, speaking with the same receptionist. We are told the owner/manager will call us back that day, and have never received any callback. Email response to the invoice also got no response. I cannot recommend this company in good faith. However based upon other reviews, you may have a better experience.
